||||||||| Tweeny rushes off, saying "8:00 PM? Mark Time is almost on! Where's a radio?"
||||||||| Catherwood strides in with a trumpet, plays a fanfare, and proclaims "Nine PM on Thursday, October 31, 2024 - I now declare alt.comedy.firesgn-thtre's chat officially open!" -- then he looks around at the empty room, looks at his watch, and mumbles "...am I early?"
||||||||| Tweeny sneaks in around 8:00 PM, trying to avoid Catherwood because of last month's "unpleasant incident."
||||||||| Catherwood escorts Deputy Dang in through the front door at 8:00 PM, picks up his cues (only slightly scorched), and heads for the billiard room.
Deputy Dang: Howdy, Tweeny!
Tweeny: Howdy Deputy
||||||||| Cease enters at 8:00 PM as Catherwood takes their hat and goat and scurries off to the Chapeau Manger.
Tweeny: allo Cease
Deputy Dang: Howdy, Cease!
Cease: Hi all
||||||||| Catherwood enters the room, strikes a gong, and bellows "THE TIME IN NEW YORK IS 11 O'CLOCK", then silently exits.
Cease: Just got the Firesign book today.
||||||||| Catherwood interjects: "They had to come from small towns with strange names."
Cease: It's been such a long time in preparation.
||||||||| Catherwood ushers llanwydd into the room, accepts a jar of pennies as a gratuity, mutters something about 8:00 PM, then departs.

llanwydd: come as you were LOL
Tweeny: :)
Deputy Dang: [image]

llanwydd: one can usually spell the name by whacking the back of you left hand on the keyboard
llanwydd: youe
llanwydd: your
||||||||| Catherwood interjects: "My nostrils flared at the smell of his perfume."
llanwydd: anyway a left-handed typist is more likely to have created bzfgt than a right-handed one
Deputy Dang: Why does this not sound familiar? I know I have the Papoon for President album (though I haven't played it in more than a decade).

Deputy Dang: Hmmm... I don't have it on CD.
llanwydd: I believe I have heard Papoon for President here at the chat, I went through the entire decade of the seventies not knowing about the album
Deputy Dang: I was having a surreal moment and now I have a plausible explanation.
llanwydd: I have to agree. surreal is not plausible
