||||||||| Catherwood enters the room, strikes a gong, and bellows "THE TIME IN NEW YORK IS 8 O'CLOCK", then silently exits.
||||||||| Catherwood strides in with a trumpet, plays a fanfare, and proclaims "Nine PM on Thursday, January 19, 2023 - I now declare alt.comedy.firesgn-thtre's chat officially open!"
||||||||| It's 9:15 PM, and that means it's time to play BEAT THE REAPER! And here's how our contestants did:
||||||||| Rufus T Firetween - dead from intense demonic possession
||||||||| Better luck next time! And now, back to our chatroom, which is already in progress...
||||||||| Catherwood leads Rufus T Firetween in through the front door at 8:00 PM, picks up his cues (only slightly scorched), and heads for the billiard room.
||||||||| Catherwood strides up and announces "Presenting 'DJTweeny', just granted probation at 8:00 PM", then leaves hurriedly.
||||||||| A time machine materializes at 8:00 PM and Tweeny bounds out, carrying a grape from ancient Greece.

||||||||| Outside, the 8:00 PM uptown bus from Funfun Town pulls away, leaving Merlyn coughing in a cloud of diesel fumes.
Tweeny: Hey Merlyn :)
Merlyn: hey tween
||||||||| With a theatrical clearing of his throat, Catherwood snorts derisively: "8:00 PM and late as usual, it's llanwydd, just back from Elmertown."
llanwydd: good evening
DJTweeny: Hey llan

llanwydd: for sure but I think rush would be a good warmup for most groups
Rufus T Firetween: but then I mixed a show where they put The Kingston Trio opening for country music star Billy Crash Craddock
||||||||| Catherwood interjects: "Open up, your door knocker fell off!"
||||||||| Catherwood enters with Bottles close behind, grumbles something about disrupting his 8:00 PM tree-stunting plans, and dashes off to the Aviary.
||||||||| Cease enters at 8:00 PM as Catherwood takes their hat and goat and hurries off to the Haberdashery Barn.
Bottles: Hiyas
llanwydd: pat travers made me want to walk out
Rufus T Firetween: ridiculously different audiences in the same place

||||||||| Catherwood answers "It was a pleasure to serve you..."
||||||||| Catherwood steals into the room, and intones "Announcing 'Beet', also known as 'Nancy' -- the time is 8:00 PM" -- then he slowly retires back into the anteroom...

Cease: maybe the most successful canadian band
Rufus T Firetween: Doc Tech's sequel to the Dear Friends collection
Cease: not saying much
||||||||| Catherwood interjects: "Let the air out of your shoes and prepare yourself for a period of simulated relxation."
Rufus T Firetween: from the radio shows
Cease: hey llan.
||||||||| Catherwood interjects: "You guys are nothing but a pack of cards."
llanwydd: hey cease
Rufus T Firetween: Yeah RIP Mr. Crosby
Cease: there is a bergman story about david crosby
Bottles: Indeed llanwydd. It's Poe's birthday too I heard.
Cease: i justg emailed proc for confirmation.
llanwydd: I have read all of poe except for a couple of essays
Beet: I am very sorry to hear that David Crosby has passed.
Cease: crosby was a guest on pete's rfo kpfk show in 66-67 and gave pete a hash brownie
llanwydd: lol
Cease: pete so stoned he thought peoole were coming out of the wall sin the studio so fled the station.
Cease: went to turkey
Cease: i think proc or ossman or someone had to take over the show as it was still on
llanwydd: a hash brownie drove peter bergman to turkey?
Bottles: Blueberry Hill was an old song when Fats did t, thought maybe he were hearing the original.
DJTweeny is pretty sure Bergman was a fan of Amos & Andy
Cease: burnt cork
llanwydd: last place I would go if I was stoned
Cease: i loathe that tune, bottles. i like you though
DJTweeny: hahaha @ MJ brownie story
Bottles: Once John Lennon took acid before a session accidentally, probably thought it was speed. He had to leave the session.
Merlyn: hey
DJTweeny: Good to see you here Merlyn
Cease: merl, you knew pete far better than i.
Merlyn: ya
||||||||| Catherwood interjects: "You can wait here in the sitting room, or you can sit here in the waiting room."
llanwydd: I got a modegreen from that fats domino song. for years I though it was I found my freedom
Cease: did he ever tell you the david crosby tale?
llanwydd: I may have heard it from someone else who had the mondegreen first
Cease: it's referred to in various fireign bits. metally men coming out of walls is menitionhed at least twice that i can think of
Bottles: Just took a gig mixing soundbites for an online newsmag. Then I read that the editor has receiving death threats. Oh well.
||||||||| Catherwood interjects: "Back from the Shadows again."

llanwydd: Iron Lung sounds like a heavy metal band
Beet: A very odd looking giant machine that created pressure so that the lungs would inflate with oxygen.
Bottles: Lead Belly's brother
Cease: lol
Beet: The person's head would stick out of the end of the giant tube.
Bottles: Is this Austin preacing, Cease?
Cease: no, that's proc
Bottles: Yeah Beet, they were horrifying.
Bottles: I read that some victims could get out sometimes for brief periods.
Cease: i love how much you need to know to get those refs. get thee behind me for one, what jesus said to satan, and then the argument with his co-pilot, the famous pilot and fascist's autobiography, god is my co pilot
Cease: i knew thatr shit then. no it's just a keystroke away.
Cease: now
Cease: thye did that intentionally. to make us all smarter
Bottles: Yes, let's eat.
||||||||| Catherwood interjects: "I have proof I've been to ancient Greece, look at this grape!"
Tweeny: God Is My Co-Pilot - https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0037746/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1
Tweeny: "During WW2, American volunteer pilots are stationed in China where, as part of the Flying Tigers unit, they dog-fight against Japanese warplanes."
Tweeny: Why 'fascist', Cease?
Cease: y'all should listen to rachel maddow's podcast about nazis in the us govt during ww2
Cease: https://www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddow-presents-ultra
llanwydd: I got the copilot reference the first time I heard it
Bottles: Wow, Cease, I didn't know about that

Rufus T Firetween: Bottles: I loooove sake. << Warm sake is great in the winter
Cease: i hgadlived in japan for a lnog stime so i asked about the firesign's flirtatrion with thihngs japanese.
Cease: he said he and others were afraid of japan's take over of hollywood
Cease: i told him that's nothing like the american take over of japan, since ww2
Cease: myh point being, like all really smart people the firesigns somtimes have no idea what they're talking about
llanwydd: I first tried sake at a restaurant in rome, ny called shogun
llanwydd: 1982
Cease: is that your experience also, merl?
Beet: Nothing can beat a good quality sake.
Cease: avoid japanese food in rome, italy. and everywhre in europe
Cease: beet, have you had any really good sake?
Beet: What do they get wrong, Cease?
Bottles: I dunno about quality, Beet, this is produced in Fresno. But I like it.
llanwydd: it was at shogun I had my first sukyaki which is still my favorite japanese food
Rufus T Firetween: I used to drink Hakasuru (sp?) sake
Beet: The first time I had sake, it was offered by a gentleman that was working in the Japanese embassy in D. C.
llanwydd: how does japanese plum wine compare to sake?
llanwydd: I have never tried it
Bottles: Plum wine is waaay sweeter.
llanwydd: hmm. dont like sweet wine
||||||||| Catherwood leads Deputy Dang inside, makes a note of the time (8:00 PM), then fades off into the distance going on about the waiting room or the sitting room or something.
Bottles: My cousin and I were wine tasting in Wisconsin. The plum wine was best of crummy wine.
llanwydd: Hey Dang
Deputy Dang: Sorry I'm late--phone call.
Beet: Hey, Deputy.
Merlyn: i reas dick but man in a hish catser
DJTweeny: Howdy Deputy
Bottles: Very bland wine in Wisconsin.
||||||||| Catherwood interjects: "And you can believe me - because I never lie, and I'm always right."
Cease: Dang
Bottles: Hey Dep
Deputy Dang: Achoo!
Cease: you see the tv series sort of based on it, merl?
Cease: can we get away with that fuck, tween?
Cease: not a word we're supposed to use here, like real radio.
Deputy Dang: If I had a nickle for every fuck I got away with...
Rufus T Firetween: yeah, the Program Director will complain
Cease: i think they thru the fucks in herfe to keep it off mainstream radio, which it just become possbile to do and still find a big audience
Rufus T Firetween: He knows it's classic comedy
Bottles: Not even in the chatroom?
Merlyn: i seen that cease
Rufus T Firetween: It's all about context, Cease
Cease: many of the 7 words that got carlin and earlier his hero lenny in jail still cant' be mainstresamed
Cease: and i'm not against that.
Bottles: Jerry Garcia got KPFA busted for saying fuck.
Rufus T Firetween: playing rap music might be a different story ;)
Cease: really, bottles?
Bottles: Yup. Went to court.
Rufus T Firetween: but I do thank you for your editing, Cease
||||||||| Catherwood interjects: "And you can believe me - because I never lie, and I'm always right."
Cease: yeah, that's different world tween.
Deputy Dang: Interestingly, the FCC (or whoever) didn't have a list of words that couldn't be said. George came up with his skit, they looked at it, and said, "that looks good enough".
Bottles: It's a problem if a listener complains.
Rufus T Firetween: the PD will appreiate it
Beet: I tuned in to Proc's radio show on KPFK on Tuesday. Really good.

Cease: they've been treading water so lnog, i thought they would have grown gills by now
Cease: who wonna 2nd world war indeed

Bottles: So renegades wanna sell NYC and DC stations.
Cease: hideous news
Bottles: Then some idiot slandered someone on air, cost $400,000+.
Cease: firesigns pasrticularly lliked the name Peggy. I wonder why?
||||||||| Catherwood interjects: "A fair for all and no fair to anybody!"
Cease: peggy blisswhips?
Bottles: KPFA has too many employees, with benefits.
Cease: you sound like a capitalist, bot
Bottles: Wha? Naw, they need volunteers to do their shows.
Cease: the world needs volunteers, not profiteers. but is there time?
Rufus T Firetween: A Capitalist?? Perish the thought! lol
Cease: tghe means of production are held by all the people
Bottles: We're all volunteers, $ out of our pockets to do shows.
Rufus T Firetween: heheheh
Bottles: For scripts printing, etc
Rufus T Firetween: I volunteer to run these shows :)
Beet: The problems are so big and advanced, with no agreement between so many countries, it looks exceedingly bad for all of us.
Bottles: Darn right, Rufus
Cease: and we grateful for thatr, tween
Rufus T Firetween: a 'labor of love', like Cat's collages :)
||||||||| Catherwood interjects: "More coffee, warden?"
Bottles: Most hobbies cost $ it seems.
Cease: yeah, it'll take me somewhere from a week to a month to make one of my collages. but what could be better use of my time?
Cease: true, bot
Bottles: No better use, Cease, especially at our age.
Cease: merl is anohter one of us, doing radio for how many years, merl?
Bottles: Wish I could work from home.

Rufus T Firetween: We owe him a debt of gratitude
Cease: Thanks, Merl
Bottles: Everybody here appreciates your work, Cease
Beet: We are all grateful.
||||||||| Catherwood interjects: "They had to come from small towns with strange names."
Bottles: Thank you Merlyn, Kurt and Cease.
Rufus T Firetween: Cease: 70 is the new 70 << lol
Bottles: We're not worthy!
Rufus T Firetween: haha Bottles
Merlyn: i forget
Rufus T Firetween: pretty sure this chat's been around since the early-mid 2000s
Cease: i coulndt get off the stuff
Rufus T Firetween: Bambi & Ah, Clem turned me on to it

Deputy Dang: (It inevitably leads to an awkward conversation.)
Beet: Oh
Bottles: Have you seen the cartoon of Popeye and Olive in bed - Popeye looks dejected, and Olive says, Maybe you should have used some spinach.
