Where's a radio?" llanwydd: nite, cat ||||||||| At 10:57 PM, llanwydd vanishes mysteriously -- just as Nino the Mind Boggler predicted! ||||||||| Catherwood enters the room, strikes a gong, and bellows "THE TIME IN NEW YORK IS 11 O'CLOCK", then silently exits. ||||||||| Rufus_T_Firetween rushes off, saying "11:05 PM? Mark Time is almost on! Where's a radio?" ||||||||| "11:05 PM? 11:05 PM!!" says Catherwood, "Hemlock Stones (Genuine!) should be here by now...oh, THERE you are!" as Hemlock Stones (Genuine!) enters and sits in the comfy chair. Hemlock Stones (Genuine!): Oh, no! I am really running late, Dear Franks! Hemlock Stones (Genuine!): I hope you have all had a wonderful Passover, Easter, Rite of Spring, or whatever pagan celebation you might have chosen for this time of the sun cycle. Hemlock Stones (Genuine!): I must be off (as I frequently am), but I hope to see you all next week! So long, Dear Franks! ||||||||| Hemlock Stones (Genuine!) leaves to catch the 11:09 PM train to Billville. ||||||||| It's 11:10 PM, and that means it's time to play BEAT THE REAPER! And here's how our contestants did: ||||||||| Zooky Fogg - dead from the common cold ||||||||| Beet - dead from the common cold ||||||||| shoes for the dead - dead from jaundice ||||||||| Nabby - dead from pneumonia ||||||||| lily - dead from the fiddlers ||||||||| ''Bob'' - dead from Globner's disease ||||||||| Better luck next time! And now, back to our chatroom, which is already in progress... ||||||||| Catherwood enters, and announces to all and sundry "It's 4:32 AM, time to change the log file and clean out unused rooms; please exit the chat room for a minute or two. Thank you for your patience."
