beet: Sorry to hear about the tech problems. I'll come back later to see if there's any change. Hi Dr Tween and JAM. See ya.
Rufus_T_Firetween: Couldn't hold a steady stream. Maybe my modem has prostate issues
||||||||| Catherwood enters with Cease close behind, mumbles something about disrupting his 8:54 PM tree-stunting plans, and dashes off to the anteroom.
||||||||| It's 8:55 PM, and that means it's time to play BEAT THE REAPER! And here's how our contestants did:
||||||||| DJTweeny - dead from pneumonia
||||||||| Better luck next time! And now, back to our chatroom, which is already in progress...
Cease: i'm here, if it matters
Johan Amadeus Myjetski: See ya Cat! Beet! DJT!
Rufus_T_Firetween: Hey Cease. Don't know if you got my email, but have been having all sorts of connection issues this afternoon
Cease: i guess not
Rufus_T_Firetween: Couldn't hold a stream, so no show
Rufus_T_Firetween: Couldn't even get a stable chat connection
Cease: was gonna premier a series of collages about my latest vegas venture. will occur later
Cease: yes got email and phone message, tween.
Cease: was away from media for a bit
||||||||| Catherwood strides in with a trumpet, plays a fanfare, and proclaims "Nine PM on Thursday, March 14, 2019 - I now declare alt.comedy.firesgn-thtre's chat officially open!"
||||||||| Catherwood leads c in through the front door at 9:20 PM, picks up his cues (only slightly scorched), and heads for the billiard room.
c: the chat without sound has become impossible, alas.
||||||||| Outside, the 9:32 PM bus from Hellmouth pulls away, leaving Elayne coughing in a cloud of diesel fumes.
Elayne: Evenin' all! Wow, where is everyone?
c: Hi El. For the first time, you haven't commented on my blog. Is it too offensive?
Elayne: Elayne's too busy, Cat.
c: Only do one a year.
Elayne: Seriously, I haven't had a chance to do more than skim Feedly lately.
Elayne: Hang on, let me check.
Elayne: I haven't seen anything from you since 26 February.
c: I'm really happy with the writing. Not long after I returned, Fumiyo found letter to us fro Bit in Vegas, 1993
||||||||| Catherwood enters and asks "Is there anythynge you want? By that I mean Anythynge You Want To, Shakespeare's Lost paperback Comedie in pre-electronic book form!"
c: yes, feb 26 sounds right.
c: only one a year, eh
Elayne: Actually, I count three. All in a row, 16 days ago.
Elayne: Or, as I like to call it, roughly the start of my current hell at work.
c: now turning them into collage series. hearing bit's voice again is envigoratomg
Elayne: Why do you think I haven't been on here much? I'm so darn tired from busy season!
c: work has become hellish?
Elayne: So I've marked your THREE posts from 16 days ago as "unread," and when busy season is over I'll read all about the food in Vegas and comment, ok?
Rufus_T_Firetween: test
c: i am lucky enough to have worked little in my life
Rufus_T_Firetween: just crapped out again...
c: sounds good, el
Elayne: Work isn't hellish. Busy season is hellish. Taking on 3 more partners because a colleague is out on leave has been hellish. Doing the job I used to do in addition to the one I'm currently doing because someone else has left is hellish. Not getting paid one cent more to do any of it is hellis.
c: you are a main cause of my connection with firesgins
Elayne: And typing about it is even more hellish.
Elayne: Next week, all
Rufus_T_Firetween: ATT is usually really stable here
c: bye el
Rufus_T_Firetween: might be traffic from the South By Southwest Festival we're having here now
