||||||||| Catherwood re-enters the Waiting Room and explains "This is the main discussion room which is logged each night."
||||||||| Catherwood announces, "The time is 4:33 AM - I now declare Thursday's chat log for June 05, 2003 officially open!"... and then, he retires back to the vestibule...
||||||||| Bone-E-Boi waltzes in at 7:09 PM carrying an obsidian door knocker.
Bone-E-Boi: Lazy bastards! Miserable parasites!
Bone-E-Boi: BRB
||||||||| chris enters at 7:50 PM as Catherwood takes their hat and goat and runs off to the Haberdashery Barn.
chris: hi
chris: well...
||||||||| Catherwood strides up and snorts derisively "Presenting 'Merlyn', just granted probation at 7:53 PM", then leaves hurriedly.
Merlyn: probation, eh?
||||||||| It's 8:00 PM, and that means it's time to play BEAT THE REAPER! And here's how our contestants did:
||||||||| chris - dead from pneumonia
 ||||||||| Better luck next time! And now, back to our chatroom, which is already in progress...
||||||||| Catherwood enters the room, strikes a gong, and bellows "THE TIME IN NEW YORK IS 8 O'CLOCK", then silently exits.
Bone-E-Boi: I missed everything! What a mess!
Merlyn: I was gone
||||||||| Gusts of wind blow in from outside and the thumpa-thumpa-thumpa of helicopter blades is heard as Happy Panditt's chopper lands on the lawn and Mudhead disembarks at 8:10 PM.
Mudhead: What a trip
Merlyn: Mudhead, or Bergman?
||||||||| "Hey Mudhead!" ... Mudhead turns, and sees Bradshaw approching with the handcuffs, and is dragged away, screaming "it's only 8:11 PM, I don't have to go yet!"...
||||||||| Catherwood enters with Mudhead close behind, mutters something about disrupting his 8:12 PM tree-stunting plans, and runs off to the Aviary.
Merlyn: mudhead runs around...
||||||||| Catherwood says "8:12 PM, time for SOMEONE to leave!", grabs Mudhead by the collar and gives 'em the old bum's rush out the door
||||||||| With a theatrical clearing of his throat, Catherwood pipes up: "8:13 PM and late as usual, it's Mudhead, just back from Billville."
Merlyn: and the chat drought continues...
Mudhead: Hello Dear Friends
Merlyn: what was all the running around for? Trying to get a good entrance message?
Mudhead: Nah, just setting my lines. I'm fishin over here
Bone-E-Boi: Nuclear family gone fishin
Mudhead: I'm watchin Gov Anthrax on CSPAN
Bone-E-Boi: You must be talking about POWER lines, Chucko.
Mudhead: Arent we all?
Mudhead: I'll do a few lines myself!
Bone-E-Boi: Who sold Saddam his weapons-grade Anthrax?
Bone-E-Boi: Who sold him his bio weapons labs?
Merlyn: weapons-grade anthrax is nothing to sneeze at
Merlyn: but SARS is
Bone-E-Boi: Who sold him the nosecones for his chemical missiles?
Mudhead: Receipt I got says Mutt and Smutt
Merlyn: I have no scones during teatime
Bone-E-Boi: The answer is Ronald Reagan's special emissary to Baghdad Donald Rumsfeld in 1983.
Bone-E-Boi: The U.S. Department of Commerce okayed the deal.
Merlyn: so THAT'S how they knew about the WMD; Rumsfeld hid some in the couch cushions
Mudhead: ok new skit...Bahgdad Booty starring Donny Rumsfeld as Smut and John Ashcroft as Smutt
Mudhead: er as Muitt...
Bone-E-Boi: Who trained and funded Osama bin Laden in 1983?
Bone-E-Boi: The CIA, that's who.
Mudhead: I hate owls
Mudhead: I hate crickets too
Merlyn: owls?
Bone-E-Boi: It's getting kinda sp-sp-sp-spooky in here. But I'm not telling the bald man anything he didn't already tell me on the radio.
Mudhead: who?
Mudhead: If its on the radio its gotta be real
Bone-E-Boi: Commandante Baldy is for real.
Mudhead: Hey Baldy can I use your real for fission? Mines all covered with cricket and owl guts.
||||||||| Catherwood enters with MoonGoon close behind, mutters something about disrupting his 8:42 PM tree-stunting plans, and runs off to the Aviary.
Mudhead: Im getting a drink..Anything for anyone?
Merlyn: get me some ASCII on the rocks
MoonGoon: Hello folks, from dull and dismal Rochester NY... I'll have a Martini.
Merlyn: are you tom hess?
Mudhead: ok my Bone-E-Boi anything for you?
Bone-E-Boi: Is Commandante Baldy in the room?
MoonGoon: Why yes I am... you must be the psychic I ordered.
Bone-E-Boi: I'll have whatever the bald one is having.
Merlyn: we can martinize you if you're tired
Mudhead: comin up...brb
Bone-E-Boi: Yeah, Colin Bowel KNOWS that Saddam has (or had) WMD because the U.S. sold 'em to him.
MoonGoon: Careful... martinizings out of style... carbon tet's where the the fun's at.
Merlyn: hey! Why don't they just read the return address to find those WMDs?
Merlyn: I'm brian westley, moongoon
Bone-E-Boi: I'm not bald, moongoon.
Merlyn: and I'm not bald, moongoon
MoonGoon: Ah hah! All is revealed... except the top of your head.
Bone-E-Boi: Off the top of my head... er, nothing, were it not for the bald one.
Merlyn: because I'm not taller than my hair
||||||||| With a theatrical clearing of his throat, Catherwood pipes up: "8:49 PM and late as usual, it's ah,clem, just back from Billville."
MoonGoon: Merlyn: you flasher you... nice work on the site stuff, BTW
||||||||| It's 8:50 PM, and that means it's time to play BEAT THE REAPER! And here's how our contestants did:
||||||||| ah,clem - dead from pneumonia
 ||||||||| Better luck next time! And now, back to our chatroom, which is already in progress...
Bone-E-Boi: Commandante Baldy is the giver of clues.
Merlyn: thanks, MG...how'd clem die so fast? I gotta keep the reaper in check...
MoonGoon: Barely had time to inhale...
Bone-E-Boi: Killer code.
Merlyn: nothing worse than a buggy reaper
Mudhead: Here are your drinks boyz
Merlyn goes glug, glug, glug
||||||||| ah.clem sneaks in around 8:52 PM, trying to avoid Catherwood because of last week's "unpleasant incident."
Mudhead: Where'd ah Clem go?
Merlyn: sorry about that, clem, the reaper is too quick to reap sometimes...
Mudhead: ahh there you are, Wanta drink?
MoonGoon: Yum... with an onion. Just as I like it; shaken but not shocked.
ah.clem: my fonts were too big...
MoonGoon: I have a pair of fonts in the back yard... the birds love em.
Mudhead: my lines are too long
Merlyn: I think if you just log in and don't say anything before the reaper does a 10 minute check, you get bumped off. I think I can fix it...
Bone-E-Boi: Think I'll lean on this blue crow.
ah.clem: not that Merl, an in kitchen, and this computer has never done this before
MoonGoon: Some sort of exotic cocktail?
Mudhead: Hi Clem Want a drinky-poo?
||||||||| ah.clem says "Catherwood, call me a cab." After the obvious joke, ah.clem exits at 8:57 PM.
||||||||| llanwydd enters at 8:57 PM as Catherwood takes their hat and goat and runs off to the Haberdashery Barn.
llanwydd: evenin folks
Merlyn: no, the reaper is my invention, and I can see how that could happen, and I can fix it...
Mudhead: Hi I
Merlyn: hey llan
||||||||| Catherwood strides up and snorts derisively "Presenting 'ah,clem', just granted probation at 8:59 PM", then leaves hurriedly.
MoonGoon: Hold it... am in middle of a hug; brb
||||||||| Catherwood trudges in at 8:59 PM, dragging Bambi by one foot and asks "Can anyone vouch for this bozo?"
Bambi: hi clem, bone, illanwydd, merlyn, moongoon, mudhead
ah,clem: ok, think I am better now, sure, Mudhead! Cheers
Bambi: how are you all this fine thursday evening?
llanwydd: what is the topic of klogversazione this nacht?
||||||||| Catherwood strides in with a trumpet, plays a fanfare, and proclaims "Nine PM on Thursday, June 05, 2003 - I now declare alt.comedy.firesgn-thtre's chat officially open!"
Bone-E-Boi: Tell me if that Mike Cothran makes an appearance. I think he accused me of being a troll. When everyone knows I'm an exceptionally tall garden gnome.
Bambi: was having trouble getting page to load for a couple min. fine now
MoonGoon: back... hard to type with a body in front of the keys.
Bambi: or I would have been here sooner
ah,clem: well, I guess we are here now,

MoonGoon: Who am us, anyway?
MoonGoon: ...or is it "whom"?
llanwydd: one of you I think
Bone-E-Boi: This cheese log is aging nicely.
llanwydd: oh did the cheese log in yet?
Merlyn: it's standing alone
||||||||| Catherwood leads doctec inside, makes a note of the time (9:04 PM), then fades off into the distance going on about the waiting room or the sitting room or something.
doctec: jello
MoonGoon: Does cheese age if one just sits and stares at it?
Bambi: hi doctec
Mudhead: Hi doc
llanwydd: hey doc
doctec: hi gang
llanwydd: is that a zen meditation, MG?
Merlyn: hey doc
MoonGoon: It's the Taoist whey...

MoonGoon: Culture-cam!

Compaņero Seņor Yämamøto: oi

MoonGoon: Don't get me started...
Compaņero Seņor Yämamøto: oi
cease: 3 min ago no one was here
Bone-E-Boi: I think we're all vegetables in this cheese log. How many different types of vegetable can you cram into one cheese log, anyway?

Compaņero Seņor Yämamøto: rabbits?
Bone-E-Boi: Mushrooms aren't vegetables, are they?
||||||||| 9:09 PM: klokwkdog jumps out of the hall closet saying "I've been listening to all of you talking about me for the past hour!"
llanwydd: 3 years ago no one was here
||||||||| klokwkdog runs out the back door as Mayor P'nisnose blasts through the front door holding a shotgun and shouting "Where's klokwkdog?! It's 9:09 PM and my ballot boxes haven't been stuffed yet!"
cease: eat the wrong mushroom, you might turn into a vegetable
||||||||| klokwkdoggerel enters at 9:09 PM as Catherwood takes their hat and goat and runs off to the Haberdashery Barn.

Compaņero Seņor Yämamøto: Doc: Listing?

doctec: everyone was in top form, firing on all cylinders and clearly relishing performing in front of an enthusiastic nyc audience

Bambi: well, it could have been worse bone
doctec: yeah she did
cease: what did bergman and his new female do?
doctec: she also played a number of tunes from the new album (deep natural)
Bone-E-Boi: That was in 1977777 or thereabouts.
Compaņero Seņor Yämamøto: If the onion wedge doesn't work, try a five-iron
klokwkdoggerel: sounds suspiciously irrational to me, BEB
MoonGoon: Be sure to replace your divacs.
doctec: shocked had in mind a sort of uso show type format, entertaining the troops of disaffected us citizens who are feeling the effects of a chilling economy and the gradual erosion of their civil rights
Bone-E-Boi: Yes, cease, Hollywood Nightshift.
llanwydd: man it's dead in here tonight. where is everybody
doctec: peter played bob hopeless, maryedith burrell was martha ray'o'light

Bambi: bet he really feels it ... don't know how one wouldn't
doctec: unfortunately it would seem that since last friday's show, there's been some kind of falling out - peter and maryedith were not at the rochester ny show this week
llanwydd: I remember bob hope when he was hopeless
MoonGoon: slurp... I should explain. I had the great misfortune to attend the dreaded Rochester show that wasn't.
Merlyn: I thought the movie "American π" was irrational
||||||||| Catherwood leads Dr Headphones inside, makes a note of the time (9:20 PM), then fades off into the distance going on about the waiting room or the sitting room or something.
Dr Headphones: hello, dear friends
cease: new folks, or at least new names
doctec: and there's no clear indication they'll be back in the show for the rest of the tour
cease: deaf rinds?
Dr Headphones: merlyn: not only irrational, transcendental!
Merlyn: yes doc, MoonGoon is how I found out in the first place that Bergman had left the show...
ah,clem: I feel it and I am not quite Bob's age.
llanwydd: American? what year?
doctec: (wow, 13 people here 2nite - pretty impressive)
Bambi: hi dr hp
klokwkdoggerel: Haven't seen it, Merlyn, but I doubt it will age well - kind of like I Am Curious (Yellow)
Bone-E-Boi: cease: Sell the tapes! Take out an ad on Fred's website!
MoonGoon: From what I read they are splitsville.
doctec: ah
doctec: read? where?
cease: nah
Merlyn: doc, I got email from Peter saying they aren't in the rest of the tour with the possible exception of one date
ah,clem: not quite half even.
Dr Headphones: first time i've seen it *this* busy this early
doctec: are you referring to the post on the michelleshocked.com chat forums?
doctec: ah
doctec: so you did in fact hear from peter today.
MoonGoon: That was me... mightily cheesed.
Dr Headphones: btw, since dex wanted me to have a suitably firesonian name, i've adopted this from "dear friends"
doctec: well, it's too bad, i thought they were a fine addition to the show
Merlyn: yes, email; I'll check out the ms.com forum...
Dr Headphones: a/k/a ken
doctec: i'm glad i got to catch the full show last week then
Dexter Fong: Dr H: Great! =)))))))) Now....who the hell are you???
Compaņero Seņor Yämamøto: aha
Dexter Fong: Ken!!!!=))))))))
MoonGoon: How did the show run? Was it PB & co. as an opening act, or interspersed?
Bambi: ken ... hi
doctec: dex: i think it's "who the hell ARE you???"
llanwydd: who am you anyway
klokwkdoggerel: Or, if it would be shorter...who the hell aren't you? Or don't you know?
doctec: moongoon: interspersed
Bone-E-Boi: You Double Jeopardy question. "He was the clean old man in Hard Day's Night and the star of the smash hit UK sitcom Steptoe and Son..."
Dr Headphones: i think the good doctor appeared in the small animal administration, but won't swear to that without another listen
Bambi: wondered about the dear friends
Compaņero Seņor Yämamøto: now I knowq how confused tyou all get when I do that
ah,clem: too many doctors, not enoughpatience.
Bambi: you are the only one I know that says that
Bambi: upon entry
Dr Headphones: yes, clem, but we're working on that. anyone want a free case of SARS?
llanwydd: paul's grandfather
klokwkdoggerel cannot possibly get any more confused at this point in the matter stream
doctec: michell & co. did a song or two at the start, then bob & martha came out & did some updated uso-style shtick, and it was like that for the rest of the evening
Bambi: course I haven't been here that long LOL
doctec: just like a real uso show
Dexter Fong: Doc: You think it'l ever be possible to say anything without somebody recognizing it as having been spoken by one of the 4 or 5 and offering a correction =))
Merlyn: oh MoonGoon, were you Dr Jigmo on the michelle shocked forum?
cease: only half a case. had to split it with the sound effects corpse
klokwkdoggerel: ah! another Canadian interlouper
Bambi: why, are they adding SARS to the list of diseases when we 'ping' out?
doctec: dex: probably not :)
MoonGoon: Gosh, I wish I'd seen it. Yes to the Jigmosity.
cease: i have company?
Dexter Fong: Cat: Was the date of that show known to you.. or rather the show known to you?
Dr Headphones: is jigmo a tibetan name?
MoonGoon: I figured we had too many docs in here already.
cease: you mean hour hour show?
Dr Headphones: moonie: never enough doctors :)
llanwydd: yes jigmo is the dalai llama
klokwkdoggerel: Tibetan names never end in a vowel, unless they move to Japan
Dexter Fong: The date: Cat 6/6/70
doctec: hollywood nightshift i think
cease: i have 7
Merlyn: OK, the phrasing was about the same, and if it was a different person, I'd try to contact them to let them know what happened.
Bone-E-Boi: cease: Do you have a video bootleg of the Chevy Chase episode in which Chevy went into rigor mortis?
MoonGoon: Made up by my immediate super-visor in reference to my job skills, but I have the patent.
cease: yes, i think the first in the series i have is 6/12. i'll check
Dexter Fong: Cat: What are the dates? =)
Dr Headphones: dates are those brown fruits from desert palms. next question, please
doctec: they aren't dates - they're prunes!
klokwkdoggerel: oval squishy things that fall from palm trees in Iraq, Dex
llanwydd: dates are little fruits
Dexter Fong: Cat: Not likely to be 6/12...I have 6/7 not "6" sorry and 6/14/70
Bone-E-Boi: cease: if you had all three weeks of the show... You could get rich selling the bootlegs.
cease: no, my first one is june 7th
Compaņero Seņor Yämamøto: Those are grenades
Dr Headphones: i've BEEN on dates with little fruits
ah,clem: dates-small dried fruits. You eat 'em
llanwydd: you guys are too quick for me
cease: i have the rest in that series until in ended mid july
Dr Headphones: we're too quick for ourselves, too, llany
klokwkdoggerel: the locals got tired of stepping on them, so they shovel them into buckets and sell to gullibile foreigners, kind of like China Gooseberries in New Zealand
ah,clem: lol
Bone-E-Boi: The Friars will not roast Chevy again this year. Twice it's funny.
MoonGoon: cleans the whole system right on down the line.
cease: hey i need a cava break. halibut cakes really dont go with cidre
klokwkdoggerel: Moon: the Republicans?

doctec: what's happening with mr. chase these days
MoonGoon: Moon the prunes!
ah,clem: which line, Mudhead?
Merlyn: I hear he's expensive real estate on the east coast
Bambi: well, I guess that's better than prune the moon
Dr Headphones: anyone remember pruneface from the old dick tracy comics? just re-heard the fst refer to that over the weekend
Mudhead: last gig was commencement address at Pomfret school
Compaņero Seņor Yämamøto: Shoot the Moon w/P:unes in June! Ha!
klokwkdoggerel: is that the line you took?
doctec: the line you hooked
Dr Headphones: i got my turntable hooked up, can now hear all that stuff i haven't heard for ages
Bambi: how could we forget that pruneface from dick tracy
Merlyn: pruneface looks like reagan in the Dick Tracy movie
MoonGoon: coincidence? tihnk about it.
Dr Headphones: correction: reagan's brain looks like a prune with all those amyloid plaques
Mudhead: no that is the fission line Im usin at the end of the world nuke reactor here
llanwydd: i'll bet he WAS Reagan
doctec: bambi: heavy dose of tranquilizers works
klokwkdoggerel: well, Dr. H, if you get old enough, it all starts to wrap around and come back at ya

Dexter Fong: Like the hot fist at the end of a long kiss
cease: i am amazed, and depressed that no one else seems to have recorded those great firesign radio shows when they were on
Dr Headphones: lp vinyl IS great stuff. even with pops, clicks, and hiss
Bone-E-Boi: A '64 Chrysler Newport just like the one I almost ran over Chevy with in the parking lot of KROQ... It was used in a sketch on the Tonight Show... Ackroyd and Jim Belushi were on that night... Leno's a car nut, he was in Americathon. Coincidences abound.
ah,clem: so many wires, so little tim constants.
cease: was i the only guy in la with a taperecorder?
Mudhead: Fission for the three eyed fish at the nuke plant

Dr Headphones: dex: my on-disk memory. i've got too much running at once and not enough physical mammaries, memory

Compaņero Seņor Yämamøto: Dave I had 227 open at once

MoonGoon: That's what I figgered... battle hardened and wizzened.
doctec: jewel is just a little too wrapped up in herself for my tastes
Merlyn: Austin just emailed me that he won't be able to make it tonight after all...

klokwkdoggerel: Dr. H - I've always wanted to hear her do "Hocus Pocus" with the people from Focus; that would be a trip. Incredible live shows she does.
cease: Jerry Rubin! that's it
doctec: billy jewel?
MoonGoon: I thought they sent the dregs down south to us!
Bone-E-Boi: I'll go and never come back if Phil agrees to burn all of the letters I sent him in the 1970s. I promise.
Dr Headphones: klok: i had the same thought myself
Dexter Fong: MG: That was the Dixie Cups
klokwkdoggerel: also it seems appropos that she does a cover of "Someday Soon", if her current squeeze holds out
Compaņero Seņor Yämamøto: Moon: Dixie Dregs
MoonGoon: I heard rumors that JohnK was revving up the R&S engine again... is it real now?
Dr Headphones: who's her current squeeze?
Dexter Fong: Manfred Mann
klokwkdoggerel: some champieen rodeo dude

Dexter Fong: DrH: Go feed your kittens
Bambi: just how you like it

Dr Headphones: dex: momma still does that. see the definition of "mammal" for more info

MoonGoon: I'm partial to that cheese log, if someone wants to whack me off a hunk.
Dr Headphones: they are only 11 days old
cease: a veritable Billy the Mountain
Bone-E-Boi: Glad you mentioned Zappa. I was thinking about his reference to a "strange purple jello" a few minutes back.
Bambi: speaking of your kittens ken ... how are they doing?
Dexter Fong: MG: You'll have to whack yourself off
klokwkdoggerel: kwd was listening to LJ on BBC 3 and caught a spanish version of smoke on the water and from DJ then learned the whole sad story about the flare gun and the Zappa show and the burning of Montreaux
Dr Headphones: bambi: very active and very loud

||||||||| Catherwood escorts Elayne in through the front door at 9:50 PM, picks up his cues (only slightly scorched), and heads for the billiard room.

llanwydd: hi e

MoonGoon: And who's watching?
Elayne: Philly was tough, Dex. Leah's a real trouper, she and the boys are doing amazingly well considering her husband's/their dad's sudden death.
cease: i've been here 40 min and no one's even hit anyone yet
Elayne: But it was a very emotionally wrought weekend nonetheless, and I still haven't recovered.

llanwydd: it's tie
karen:
Elayne: But I highly recommend the Reading>http://www.readingterminalmarket.org">Reading Terminal Bus Market, if y'all are ever in the Philly area.
Bone-E-Boi: You're fired! You're all fired! Phil didn't have the guts to show up so I could fire his ass!
Elayne: Ick, that embedding didn't work, sorry.
Mudhead: Just consider me a pusher

Bone-E-Boi: Phil, you're fired! And that goes for the rest of you!

MoonGoon: My shoes are on fire!
klokwkdoggerel: watch out for mission of burma, too

Elayne: Oh, I've done strikeouts before, klok. It's the embedded URLs I can't seem to get right.
Bone-E-Boi: I'll have a valium and prozac highball, please.
llanwydd: bar smell bad enough to put anyone off beer
Dexter Fong: MG: Piss on 'em...never mind, let me
cease: they made me take my shoes off leaving sf airport, but not going to your country.
Elayne: Math class is tough Strikeouts are easy.
cease: so now you're worrying about Exporting terror?
llanwydd: i mean bars plural
Bone-E-Boi: Okay, you got me, I'm a retard.
klokwkdoggerel: E; I have given up on them. I just go to the doctor, pay the $65 and have them removed sugically. Those drugstore potions don't work for me.
Dexter Fong: Il: Mother's Milk, I say
cease: mars bars further exploration
cease: your line, wasnt it, merl?
cease: your line, wasnt it, merl?
Bone-E-Boi: My hair is long... I must be Jesus Retardo!
Elayne: Well, if it's drugs you want, the old doctor can help!
llanwydd: i'm a retread
MoonGoon: Ahh... that's better. Nothing like a golden shower in the evening to refresh the toe fungus.
Elayne: Oops, not if all the supplies are in the other room, he can't. BRB.
Mudhead: We take drugs preety seriously around here
klokwkdoggerel: yes, but the YOUNG doctors are much more knowledgeable about which drugs are the best!
cease: are you a firesign fan, karen?
Dexter Fong: Young Doctors...roaming the street...contacting their HMO's thru cell phones
Bone-E-Boi: We're all ready for regrooving.
llanwydd: didn't see karen come in. hi karen
ah,clem: actually, Monn a shower o that type might just cure it.
Mudhead: klok: did you fix your tube?

Dexter Fong: Me neither Il: Hi Karen
Elayne: Back again. Need my extra-special painkillers today, I crushed my fingertip in a file cabinet earlier this afternoon.
Mudhead: ouch

ah,clem: if you have toe fungus, pee on it.
klokwkdoggerel: it broke off in the block, Mud
Bone-E-Boi: But I don't want to watch Eminem on MTV all day.
Dave: I really need to listen to more of the FST stuff, but, hey, maybe over the summer
Dexter Fong: E: Was it under C for Crush or O for ouchy
Bambi: I can't seem to get the blue pill
Bone-E-Boi: It'll kill your mother.
Elayne: Yep. Couldn't really stand to type with it again until a few minutes ago.
MoonGoon: I'm ready for that virtual toke now...
Elayne: Dex - Z for Zetz.
Bambi: or use tea tree oil :)
cease: never the wrong time to listen to firesign, dave
cease: did you hear those mushroom shows yet?
Mudhead: MG comin up
Dexter Fong: E: Ts for tsurus
Elayne: Wait a second, Moon - it's supposed to be virtual? Oh my goodness...
cease: oh, you forgot the glass
Dave: no not yet, been swamped with shit these past few weeks, will get to them though
cease: shit is not something you want to be swamped with
Elayne: And I keep saying to myself, "don't burn the finger, don't burn the finger," so of course I just brushed the lit end against the finger...
Dexter Fong drifts off to the kitchen where Mudhead is preparing a "perfect" Martonni
Mudhead: forgot to drain the pool?
ah,clem: please stand by, I am working on a rich protien stew...
Elayne: But at least it helps increase my typing speed!
klokwkdoggerel: yeah, just remember, "when you're up to your ass in alligators..."
MoonGoon: Well that explains a lot... I thought holding my breath for an hour might do the trick but I was misinfirmed.
||||||||| It's 10:00 PM, and that means it's time to play BEAT THE REAPER! And here's how our contestants did:
||||||||| karen - dead from the fiddlers
 ||||||||| Better luck next time! And now, back to our chatroom, which is already in progress...
llanwydd: is it primordial, clem?

Bambi: ah, rich protein stew

Bone-E-Boi: Hip hop is so limited. I much prefer Kathleen Battle.
klokwkdoggerel: (the ooze coming out of your TV set when it's on the Discovery Channel?)
||||||||| Catherwood enters the room, strikes a gong, and bellows "THE TIME IN NEW YORK IS 10 O'CLOCK", then silently exits.
MoonGoon: The poor girl was lurking in reverse...
Bambi: yummmmm
Elayne: Dangerous to lurk in reverse. You can get your finger caught that way.
klokwkdoggerel: urking in peverse?
cease: elayne, you'll have to come to north van again (with doc, lili, and dr jawn) and see the new place
Bone-E-Boi: They're dropping like flies.
klokwkdoggerel: and receive the Orange Crush
Bambi: would that be the red hot ooze or the slimy ooze?
Elayne: Absolutely, Cat! Find us a comic book convention in the area. ;)
cease: it's one of those things you want to see before you die, like Venice
Merlyn: hey, I'm not gone now...
llanwydd: ever heard kathleen sing "summertime"? exquisite
MoonGoon: When I first learned to drive all I could do was lurk in reverse...
klokwkdoggerel: depends on what the toppings are, Bambi
cease: i thought janis joplin had the diffinitive version of that song, illan
Dave: oh hey, guess what, my health teacher let me drive his car last thursday, er, friday, but that was fun, i didn't go very fast and he messed up his directions (we didn't hit anything/anyone though)
cease: i'll start a convention just for you, el.
llanwydd: janis joplin?! I can't imagine
Dexter Fong believes there are a multiplicity of deffinitive "Summertimes"
Bone-E-Boi: If they catch me listening to "Summertime" they'll send me to the Rave Til You Die GHB Overdose.
cease: one of the best acts of singing i've ever heard, illan
Merlyn: right out of hear no evil, see no evil
Elayne: I think I'd better go. The index finger's throbbing again (maybe it's going to rain some more!)...
cease: it is a classic
Elayne: Next week, when perhaps I shall be intact.
||||||||| Catherwood says "10:04 PM, time for SOMEONE to leave!", grabs Elayne by the collar and gives 'em the old bum's rush out the door
Bambi: LOL
cease: yet so is Cast Your Fate, but none could ever best Vince's original
cease: by el

Dexter Fong: Elayne is known for her tact
klokwkdoggerel: yes, Janis' may have been the one for our generation (boomers) but not in the long run
Bambi: see ya elayne
klokwkdoggerel: any day, now, any way now...
Bambi: (for the log ;)
MoonGoon: I can't believe that index finger is still there, wriggling around on the floor.
Bone-E-Boi: Agony, XTC, playing imperfect harmony
klokwkdoggerel: nite E
Dexter Fong: Cat: There's something of a difference: Summertime being a composed song/lyrics...CYF being essentially an improvisation
cease: the next time the ghost of not quite dead yet johnny carson asks, "how fast was it?" an image of elayne should immediately appear
Mudhead: Here I'll soak it in cider
cease: he siad the magic word. and we drank him
cease: they seem partial to pear cidre in bay area
Dexter Fong: He sighed, "The Magic Word"
Bone-E-Boi: Disguised as designer water.
klokwkdoggerel: There are certainly moments where Birdsongs of the Mesozoic's "Rite of Spring" excerpt is transcendent, but I'd still want an orchestral version around...
Dexter Fong: I'd like some of that heavy waer please
llanwydd: bani-sidr?
Bambi: maybe eat a garlic clove whole
cease: open wide, dr. oppenheimer
Bambi: works in Zork

Dexter Fong: That's a Nazi duck!!!
Dave: guys I got shit to do, I should shove off in to the toilet of my life and float in to the sewer of schoolwork, peace yall

Mudhead: Franklin Lets have a war
klokwkdoggerel: what was it...oh, Hopscotch
Bambi: night dave
llanwydd: I'm imagining an old farmer as Groucho's guest just casually mentioning lithium deuturide and being surprised by the duck
Merlyn: where's MY lithium?
Dexter Fong: Eleanor Roosevelt...hopped up on Scotch..no wonder FDR was off to the "Hot" springs
Bone-E-Boi: Manic depression is a frustrating mess.
klokwkdoggerel: no one expects an exploding thermonuclear duck!
MoonGoon: Oops.. just used it to grease my bike chain. Sorry...
Dexter Fong: "Close the Lithium, Fred"
Merlyn: would that be the thermonuclear duck & cover?
llanwydd: "I was out fixin my 1934 lithium deuturide one day...
klokwkdoggerel: i agree, BEB, but I can hardly muster the energy to write about it sometimes
Dexter Fong: The nuclear canard?
Mudhead: Just fission for mor lines
MoonGoon: ... and bake at 350 million degrees for one hour, or until singed.
Bone-E-Boi: Fire and water don't mix. But fire and a Pisces working for scale = filet of soul.

Mudhead: that duck sang
Dexter Fong: Il: If you take the Intake valves form an 1921 Morgan Stanley and stroke the boar, you'll get better performance

Bone-E-Boi: If our autos were steam-powered, would we be threatened by a Global Humidity Crisis?
Dexter Fong: Klok: See how well it worked
MoonGoon: I did, but things got a little soft around the edges, so I stopped.
Dexter Fong: BEB: Or a drought
klokwkdoggerel: anchor steam beer was not that good 20 years ago when i first tried it.

Bone-E-Boi: Keep trying it. It will taste better and better.

Dexter Fong: Not to be trying...to be doing, grasshopper

llanwydd: you saw Joe the carpenter in the loo?
MoonGoon: Try to do, or do try, or die trying?
Rotonoto: )I guess that bullies don't count as 'loved ones' though...)
klokwkdoggerel: Merlyn - yeah, the Louvere had wings added so it could fly away if the Guggenheim ever came up from Bilbao and attacked it
cease: the thing about the brand new, to me, de la tour is relavent to firesing
Rotonoto: ( (
Dexter Fong: Roto: Hate the sin, love the sinner

klokwkdoggerel: I think the Japanese made a horror movie on that subject. Or was it just a layout in Architectural Digest? Forget.
Bone-E-Boi: I'm going to be auctioning transcripts of tonight's chat at eBay.
WCGuy: Cease, I think it is the other way around....when you find something you love, you then love the artist.
cease: i'll bid 4 cents
llanwydd: japanese architecture IS horror
Merlyn: I've copyrighted all occurrences of the word "throbbing"
Bone-E-Boi: Five dollars!
Rotonoto: don't you take a cent less than 30 dollars per printed page!
cease: you think so?
MoonGoon: Shall we split the proceeds, or just fight over it?
cease: they are a ying-yang relationship
Merlyn: when the japanese plan a building, do they make a small brick & mortar model before making the full-sized paper version?

MoonGoon: No, Caesarian taught us to fight over anything
Rotonoto: US Pork- we own the idea of US Plus
Dexter Fong: And sit on anybodys stool
Merlyn: allen sherman had to fight with the people who owned the letter "E"
Dexter Fong: Turhan Bey = middle inital "E"
MoonGoon: My stool's a little loose (must be the castor oil flakes)...
Dexter Fong: MG: Tighten the screws
Rotonoto: The letter "E" is actually quite ambitious- learned to get off all 3 legs and sit up on only one
WCGuy: I miss Allen Sherman
klokwkdoggerel: I think Sherman had help from Richard Pryor Art on that one, Merl...

MoonGoon: Too late for well wishes... I'm punctured.
llanwydd: is there a copyright on the rotated e?
WCGuy: Just plans for a 4th of Julee NPR spot. And a T-shirt (Bri knows more about that than I), and some NPR station fundraising. Other irons are in the fire.
Rotonoto: also often seen with the tumescence symbol or osiris to depict the historic building of the big building

Rotonoto: well, a rotated "E" is a lazy "E"
Dexter Fong: BEB Fired those irons

cease: but the 4th of july will actually get done?
cease: but the 4th of july will actually get done?
Merlyn: supposedly a 4th of july bit; not actually done yet
WCGuy: Check back with me on the 3rd of Julee.
Dexter Fong wonders how cat makes his keyboard do that
Merlyn: and T-shirts are being talked about

WCGuy: Re: Memorial Day....(this is the 'and')...the sense I got from at least one of the boys was that Memorial Day was NOT the day to broadcast the FST's opinions on the current state of affairs of the US Military efforts...which is what the would have wanted to do.
Bambi: ok, that's better
Dexter Fong: Bambi went and came faster thatn anyone
cease: i agree wholeheartedly, wc
Rotonoto: true true, WC
Mudhead: the blood oranges make good screwdrivers
Rotonoto: yeah- faster than anything!
Bambi: clem, being in linux you are still here...windows blech

MoonGoon: Specially given the suits at NPR's natural willingness to slice and dice.
Merlyn: but what about all those deceased war veterans who want their mules?
WCGuy: So, they passed. I apologize that we didn't get the word out.
Dexter Fong: Merl: Spike Lee has all the mules now
cease: squeeze some blood oranges into some holandaise sauce and pour on your favourite fish. your taste buds will never stop thanking you

Dexter Fong: Cat: Do you puree the fish in order to pour it on?
MoonGoon: DF: oooh, good one.
WCGuy: Moss (and all) you have no idea how tough it is to keep the boys on NPR....the email after they air is usually about 3-to-1 against. There are true heroes at NPR who believe in what they have to say.
Dexter Fong: MG: Yeah pureed fish is good
cease: it may be asking too much of the lads, but their audience,, to build, will have to have expectations met
Rotonoto: steam the fish in a delicate ginger sauce, chinese style, and serve with some good tea
Dexter Fong: Liquified clams even better
cease: really? i had no idea they even had fans
Merlyn: 3:1 against? take my indian, please!
Mudhead: I'm one
Bone-E-Boi: Have you seen Dennis Miller's impersonation of Gen. Ulysses S. Grant with a badger up his ass? NPR should have broadcast that on Memorial Day.

Merlyn: they don't have fans, they have factory air-conditioned air
Dexter Fong: B-E-Boi: I thought it was a gerbil
MoonGoon: I guess I'd better start writing again... I only write when I'm riled.
Rotonoto: man- Miller got some bad press during the war thingie- was being called a sellout
WCGuy: (Merl...I don't know how to reply to your private message - but it was my fault that it wasn't broadcast to the group)
cease: seem riled theatre. we cant spell it. you can't pronounce it!
Bone-E-Boi: You thought Dennis Miller was a gerbil? No. Garden gnome.

cease: its as if bw bush has his cock up miller's ass and is doing all the talking now
Merlyn: hey, remind NPR that a lot of e.g. rush limbaugh listeners hate him, too. But they listen, and apparently so do the anti-firesign people (water signs?)
Bambi: sure clem ... sounds great
MoonGoon: Put that in the Roux Morgue...
Bambi: hmmmm....didn't cut yourself I hope!
Merlyn: ouch, clem got hit...I'll look at his IP addresses

Bambi: wb clem
WCGuy: NPR's interpretation of the email is this: if 80 percent of the folk who listen like it, they will say nothing. The rest will complain. (and you should know that there are two essential people who made the NPR deal work...one high up....one in the trenches).
Rotonoto: Roto speaks only to the deaf?
MoonGoon: back from the shadows, again...
Bone-E-Boi: Leonardo di Caprio with a rooster up his ass?
Dexter Fong: What??
Dexter Fong: Gosh, what is all this animal imagery, anyway?

Bone-E-Boi: I've worked as a turkey inseminator.
cease: of course he's on the wharf
MoonGoon: a thin thin 16-mm film at that.
Dexter Fong: BEB: You dirty Baster
WCGuy: S'long. Be good. Be better. Buy a copy of ALL THINGS FIRESIGN...and if you have already. go to your local place and ask them if they have it. And, write a review on Amazon.com!
cease: will do, wc
Bone-E-Boi: What's that? Are you posting an ad in here? You're FIRED!
Dexter Fong: Thanks for beating the drum WC =))
Rotonoto: my local Best Buy doesn'even carry FST any more (whimper)
WCGuy: Can't fire me....I don't work here!
cease: hey, i'd love to post an ad for Red Shift. but it's Not For Sale
||||||||| It's 11:10 PM, and that means it's time to play BEAT THE REAPER! And here's how our contestants did:
||||||||| ah,clem - dead from pneumonia
 ||||||||| Bambi - dead from the fiddlers
 ||||||||| Better luck next time! And now, back to our chatroom, which is already in progress...
Dexter Fong: B-E-B: You can't fire me, I know a Canadian writer
Merlyn: the reaper hates clem...
cease: and i dont even no myself
Rotonoto: clem and bambi have a pretty rough dialup service, so I hear...
Dexter Fong: Doesn't much care for Bambi either
MoonGoon: ...out where an indian's your friend...
cease: dont rear the feed per
Rotonoto: line problems
Bone-E-Boi: A Canadian writer? I don't believe you.
cease: and you can stream into the pee
Dexter Fong: Roto: Can't think of a good line?
WCGuy: Simple point of fact: Ossman was on air on WHYY in Philly...and tne next day, all the local Barnes and Nobles (that I know of) had the CD in their "Featured CD" rack"
Dexter Fong: B-E-B: You hoser!!
Rotonoto: Roto gets incredible 28,800 on deluxe metro dialup, uncrowded 'burbs slightly north of nowhere
cease: the fact that i've written lines that the firesigns have performed is something i am as proud of as that is something i am capable of being
cease: any favour i can do for them, is done
Rotonoto: sorry Dex, my thimb slipped again- I'm alwaysing losing my place or my context
Merlyn: hey, want to hear my T-shirt idea? First, all T-shirts have the litz 4-head logos and "Firesign Theatre Sez:"
||||||||| Catherwood ushers C. Simril into the room, accepts a grimy quarter as a gratuity, mumbles something about 11:12 PM, then departs.
C. Simril: i been kicked, off
Mudhead: Roto I didnt know they went up into the hills
Merlyn: Then there are some shirts with standard messages, but you can also get custom T-shirts with whatever message you want
||||||||| Merlyn aka 'The Reaper' has killed off cease at 11:13 PM
Dexter Fong: Cat: But somehow...you're on!
Rotonoto: OMG one of them must be an impostor!
C. Simril: too expensive, merl
C. Simril: maybe i was kicked upstairs
Dexter Fong: A pretend poster
WCGuy: On, anudder goal, (if I may, Bri). Let's get the FSTwebsite list up to 1,000. You are at, what, about 640, Bri?
Merlyn: the custom ones, cat?
Rotonoto: cat, what's the password, man?
Dexter Fong: Yeam man, what's the word?
Merlyn: a little over 650 I think
C. Simril: when austin or whomever posited the t-shirt deal, i wonder if there's enough market for any particular mode
Rotonoto: wha tha heck happened to senor companero Ken tonite?
Merlyn: 658 on the email list right now, but it grows pretty steadily
C. Simril: i was involved with t shirts when i ran the orangutan foundation and will be moving back with the new foundation i'm setting up
Dexter Fong: Roto: He was here earlier under the nom Dr. Headphones
C. Simril: economy only comes in scale, eh? or is that outta style now
Merlyn: cat, that's why my idea is so nice; a few with real popular slogans, but you can get "official" T-shirts (with the logo + "firesign theatre sez") with anything on it
Rotonoto: oooh- he's been doing the audio cables thing all week! :o)
C. Simril: dr headphones was ken?
Dexter Fong: Yes Cat:
WCGuy: C: There is always a market for T's. They will be done...somehow
Rotonoto: he's going nuts with the CDR's
Dexter Fong: ...and tomorrow is friday
Merlyn: of course, they would cost more, but you can get whatever you want (or maybe buy it blank and use iron-on letters)
C. Simril: ok, elayne walkng donw her street and having folks recognize her firesign jacket is the ideal, eh?
Merlyn: We'd better use T's, I hear allen sherman patented Es, or was it Es of use?
C. Simril: so the ideal is really some old firesing line that is close to general consciousness
Dexter Fong: Cat: I've seen it happen...it was a sign from heaven...or maybe columbia/Sony
MoonGoon: Ack! iron-on transfers?!?!? Silkscreen FOREVER!
WCGuy: Exactly, C! There is an amazing population of FST fans out there.
C. Simril: i was at a taping of one of his tv shows long ago. he seemed over the hill then, and it was a small hilll
MoonGoon: I love the smell of xylol in the AM
Dexter Fong sings "The Hills are alive with the sound of Sherman"
Merlyn: can you do one-time silkscreens?
C. Simril: well, wc. maybe yes and maybe no.
Dexter Fong: Get out those one-time silkworms
Mudhead: Man theyre still grilling Anthrax
C. Simril: t amazes me how few of them responded to repeated firesign tours, new albums and even your tv show
C. Simril: i know many of them who knew naught of all of the above
WCGuy: C..if you are talking to me...I'll respond.
Rotonoto: that's the problem, they slipped by a lot of folks
Merlyn: the website gets dozens of people every day using google to find the front page, they are all new visitors, because once you know the URL, it's easy
MoonGoon: I've not seen them live (yet)... and have been a fan since '76. Of course, being in a backwater burg MIGHT have something to do eith it...
C. Simril: yes of course we will and alt ft and others, but i frequently meet folk who, whem i refer to ft lines, knwo them, but have no knowledge that they're still around
Rotonoto: maybe it was just dumb luck I saw an ad in the Wash Post in 93 (94?) and got to see thier 25th anniversary tour at the Warnwer Theatre in DC
C. Simril: i mean a large majority of them
Dexter Fong: MG: Being in a front woater isn't much better
Dexter Fong: water
C. Simril: dumb indeed, roto. sin chron is city
Merlyn: maybe a "we're not dead" campoon
C. Simril: good one, merl
Rotonoto: yeah, man- synchronicity indeed!
C. Simril: but funnier. hey, we're all not dead, or wouldnt be reading said
Dexter Fong: "Werre not dead...but we *do* kinda look that way"
Mudhead: The only dead campoon thats not dead campoon...I like it
C. Simril: ya know what would fucking work?
Merlyn: maybe start a "phil is dead" rumor like the beatles
C. Simril: the cover of all hail marks and lennon. now
Rotonoto: "I'm not dead, but I play the part of a dead person in my office every day..."
Merlyn: then all the denials let people know they aren't.
Dexter Fong: ...adn play it backwards
C. Simril: while people still remember communism.
C. Simril: my daughter barely did
WCGuy: C, but they are around..and we constantly look for ways to get that word out. We did a TV show, we did the NPR deal, they got the release of ALL THINGS....and there will be more, But, I have to ask you C, what do you say when people as if they are sttill around?
Bone-E-Boi: Maybe most FST fans have lives, families, jobs, etc.?
||||||||| Catherwood strides up and snorts derisively "Presenting 'cat', just granted probation at 11:23 PM", then leaves hurriedly.
Merlyn: hey, there's a million chinese commies, don't they count? Only to a zillion, mudhead

Mudhead: Cat I dont know about you but I'm rounder then they are
MoonGoon: BTW, I must say the production values on Weirdly Cool were outstanding... even my movie-junkie wife said so.
Dexter Fong: Roto: tell Fred to close the curtain
Rotonoto: "...the remaining four original cast memberof the Firesign Theatre assembled to praise Gomer (and BTW will do a nationwide tour...)"
cat: i think the npr things reached a lot of new people. i think weirdly cool did as well. but my point is most folks i meet who know their old work think theyre of the past
Bone-E-Boi: Did they finally send Gomer to Nam? I missed that show.
cat: indeed, moon
Dexter Fong: BEB: that was wally who went to vietnam
WCGuy: Cat: The tell them THEY are wrong!
cat: hoove the prey
Rotonoto: "... it just won't be the same without Gomer, though..."
Bone-E-Boi: Full Metal Jacket.
Merlyn: T-shirts will turn people into WALKING BILLBOARDS! Named Bill!
Rotonoto: full metal bozo
MoonGoon: Get out of My Insurgency Womb!
Dexter Fong: Boared and stroked, Merlyn

cat: i had to abandon a third of a century teaching englihs last year because i lost my voice. a couple of decades worth of radio production too is, shall we say, on hold. but my ears still work, and apparently, so do my fingers
WCGuy: OK, time to go...really this time. But when FST airs on NPR on July 4. Send an email. And tell your friends.

Bone-E-Boi: I won't do anything unless it is officially endorsed in writing by all four members of FST and Fred.

Dexter Fong: Roto Noto under arrest for using copyrighted "Es". oh! what we about to be spelling now, Aaron
Merlyn: or mchale?
