Snook: Not exactly new, just very occasional
||||||||| Catherwood enters with Cease close behind, mutters something about disrupting his 9:09 PM tree-stunting plans, and hurries off to the anteroom.
InTheWood: G'devening Snook
llanwydd: I actually caught the fighting clowns tour, cap. never would have called it vaudeville
llanwydd: Hi Cat
Snook: And this is an occasion - Proctor turns 81!
Rufus_T_Firetween: allo Cease eh...
Beet: Cat! Howdy.
Captain Equinox: I missed that - Was thinking about the album
||||||||| Captain Equinox flies in through the transom, landing on the bearskin rug. "Attention, solstice squad! After working a 12-hour day, I like to kick back and swill some juice out of a genuine Firesign coffee mug or Bear Whiz Beer stein!"

Captain Equinox: Good luck
InTheWood: You folks have had a rough season...
Snook: Considering the one in Florida, I get it.
Rufus_T_Firetween: ** Read about THE HISTORY OF PROCTOR & BERGMAN ON THE ROAD at >> http://www.firezine.net/issue5/fz5_09.htm
Snook: It was no fun, it fell right over
Rufus_T_Firetween: haha @ 'high attitude bombing'
llanwydd: what in fl, snook?. I missed that
Snook: All-time great motto - Proctor & Bergman "It Ain't Necessarily Soap"
Snook: Florida - entire apartment complex falls down all of a sudden.

Rufus_T_Firetween: *Yeah
||||||||| Chick Lambert fades in and says: "I have no idea who this Friedstein Theatre is, but they 're honing in on my territory over at Duke of Madness Motors. Give 'em the what for, Storm!" "RUFF! RUFF!"
Rufus_T_Firetween: Lots of other buildings like that built on sand
llanwydd: oh, yes. the tragedy in miami. I live in a different part of fl
Cease: proc berg did a road thing
llanwydd: true, tween. there are a lot of sinkholes down here apparently
Rufus_T_Firetween: and it turns out that the construction of the building was sub-standard
Snook: Many parts of Florida are very different. I spent some time with Proctor & Ossman in Clearwater, which is ground zero for Scientology, and that's about as different as you can get.
llanwydd: the foolish man built his house upon the sand
johan amadeus myjetski: ha! Llan!
Snook: Florida: the architect has had more than one building collapse, I have read. Did he sleep through a key class in architecture school?

Captain Equinox: Did they make you hold the tin cans and shout at you?
llanwydd: LOL! no, cap
InTheWood: Did you grab the towels?
Captain Equinox: *derp*
Snook: Scientology hotel? Did everyone wear white shirts and really thin ties? Did the elevator have an extra floor at the top marked "UFOs?"
Rufus_T_Firetween: Going Clear: Scientology & the Prison of Belief - https://www.imdb.com/title/tt4257858/ << You really need to watch that documentary if you have any respect for Scientology
Captain Equinox: "I'm stealing the ROOM!"
Snook: That lets me me out, Rufus.
Rufus_T_Firetween: Bill Maher's 'Religulous' also talks about how ridiculously weird (not cooly) they are
Snook: See how weird they are? I'm sorry I mentioned the subject, it seems to have brought the conversation to a halting screech.
johan amadeus myjetski: south park cartoon did a fairly scathing episode on scientology
Captain Equinox: QAnon is Scientology for hicks
llanwydd: the banter never stops, snook
Beet: I have always thought along with all of you that, sadly, Firesign had this weird trajectory of being unsung and painfully underpaid heros of American culture.
Captain Equinox: Prescient
Snook: I like that, cap!
johan amadeus myjetski: all the while being unsung, critiquing that Amer. culture
Rufus_T_Firetween: The Court Jesters of the United States, Beet imho, and yes greatly under-appreciated
Snook: Absolutely. Firesign have had more unacknlowledged influence on our culture than anyone.
Snook: "The Beatles of Comedy" -- Archivist of the United States Library of Congress
Rufus_T_Firetween: nice
Captain Equinox: Where's my Fortune Cookie?
Beet: And the Beatles are gazillionaires.
llanwydd: who would have thought that the Love-Ins were firesign related
InTheWood: George Carlin, Robin Williams, etc. All called the FST essential to their comedy.
llanwydd: unless they live in california
Captain Equinox: And FST has acknowledged Norman Corwin as an influence
Snook: "the Hieronymus Bosch of Comedy" - Robin Williams
Beet: Beautiful.
Snook: Don't forget to inflate your shoes.
||||||||| Nick Danger sneaks in and whispers "Get the scuttlebutt on Box of Danger here, whatever that means..."
johan amadeus myjetski: does everyone notice that there’s been no one continuing FST’s work?
Rufus_T_Firetween me knows not from Bosch
llanwydd: I keep reading the name norman corwin because I love old time radio but other than the name I am not very familiar with him
InTheWood: Bosch was a hell of a painter.
Rufus_T_Firetween: It was a gathering of talents that's hard to duplicate
Captain Equinox: ...and without Stan Freberg's success, would Columbia have taken a chance on FST?
Rufus_T_Firetween: Not Second City or SNL
llanwydd: bosch was an early dali
Snook: Firesign was influenced by Norman Corwin and paid tribute to him on their second album - "the Great American Pageant" section
Captain Equinox: Hal O'Dali
llanwydd: lol cap
Rufus_T_Firetween: haha
Captain Equinox: That's Phil Fountain's nom de crayone
llanwydd: anybody want coffee?
Captain Equinox: Two psychics meet on the street - "You're fine, how am I?"
Cease: no
