uberRegenbogen: aaaahhh. Syncopated Clock again!
llanwydd: nite Bambi
cease: by bambi
uberRegenbogen: for some reason, that's been all over the place this week
cease: radio free vestibule, canuck comedy group. very funny
llanwydd: 12 years with the stincopated clock and I get something that
sounds like the theme to...
uberRegenbogen: happy horizontalness
cease: i hadnt heard them in some time. didnt know they were still active
Dexter Fong: to what ben?
cease: ar eyou in canada, uber?
cease: i didnt know they had a following in the states
uberRegenbogen: no
uberRegenbogen: SE US
Dexter Fong: Uber's listed by Nino as being in Atlanta
cease: lots of canucks in the states. i was one, for 13 years
cease: if your vestibules are the same group i'm referring to. from
montreal.
ah,clem: have quite a few RFV tunes, Cat
uberRegenbogen: Nino is off by about 100 miles
ah,clem: very funny stuff
uberRegenbogen: yes, Radio Free Vesibule
Dexter Fong: Uber: For Nino, that's close
uberRegenbogen: some of us know of them :)
cease: really, clem? i had no idea they had a yank following
ah,clem: oh yes
cease: the stuff they did on tv, more than radio, was very canada or even
quebec-centric
cease: i couldnt see it getting much of an american folloiwng
cease: i saw a halaifax comic a few weeks ago here in north van. he was
hilarious, but i doubt a yank would get half the jokes
ah,clem: going to put the station on autopilot, need rest.
cease: get rest, clem
Dexter Fong: Night Clem and thanks for the sound track
ah,clem: all I have is radio stuff, cat, but very funny
uberRegenbogen: Vestibules, Trolls, Frantics, ... great stuff!
cease: yeah i've heard a lot of hilarity from them.
ah,clem: never saw any of their video
cease: they arent that visual
uberRegenbogen: in a way it's more fun listening is a yank, as there are
things that i might not get, initially, then get later, as i learn more of
canadien culture
cease: video stuff like codco, which turned into This Hour has 22 Minutes,
which has spawned The Mercer Re****t are so canada-centric you'd understand
little of it, but its as good as The Daily Show, even more pointed and
politically effective
Dexter Fong: Guess I should park the car...leter and sooner to you all
cease: good point, uber
cease: ok dex
llanwydd: well, I'm going to try to get some schlaff
cease: codco started with a lot of dope jokes. but Newfie dope jokes!
llanwydd: lshclafen, geshlaffenten
cease: ok llan
ah,clem: used to watch this hour on cbc when it was in the clear on cband.
uberRegenbogen: i gather that Newfies are the butt of a lot of cheap jokes
llanwydd: gute nacht
cease: a great show. but its usually about that week in canadian politics
cease: maybe in an earlier era, uber, but in my generation (and i was born
shortly after newfoundland joined canada) newfies are the tellers of jokes,
not the but of them
||||||||| It's 11:20 PM, and that means it's time to play BEAT THE REAPER!
And here's how our contestants did:
||||||||| Bambi - dead from The Plague
||||||||| Tor Hershman too - dead from The Plague
||||||||| Better luck next time! And now, back to our chatroom, which is
already in progress...
ah,clem: people with big dishes know more than the cable fed type.
DonK: yeah we do
uberRegenbogen: at one point in my life (1983?) i lived close enough to
listen to canadien radio
cease: wow, thats when it was good
uberRegenbogen: (no, 1984; i was 19)
DonK: i get many canadian radio stations here, and the cbc is listed in
our tv listings, thought my antenna isn't pointed that way
cease: cbc does drama poorly but comedy very well
uberRegenbogen: probably different ones than in Marquette
cease: same with radio, we used to have great, almost firesonian comedy
but nothing now.
DonK: marquette is not really very close to canada
uberRegenbogen: right across the lake
cease: but really good science and information programmes, Ideas has been
on for 40 years or so and its still better than most university lectures i
attended in many years in university
DonK: it's a big lake :)
uberRegenbogen: more distance, but nothing in between
DonK: i'm about 55 miles from canada here
uberRegenbogen: as easy as tuning in WLS from Charlevoix :)
uberRegenbogen: yeah. i reckon that you get Windsor and Chemical Valley
stuff
DonK: i was on the detroit river on saturday, checking out the new ceasars
casinon in windsor canada
cease: thas about how far i am from the us border
uberRegenbogen: the "of river river" ;P
cease: ribbah. RIBBAH
||||||||| ah,clem rushes off, saying "11:29 PM? Mark Time is almost on!
Where's a radio?"
||||||||| It's 11:30 PM, and that means it's time to play BEAT THE REAPER!
And here's how our contestants did:
||||||||| llanwydd - dead from jaundice
||||||||| Better luck next time! And now, back to our chatroom, which is
already in progress...
uberRegenbogen: i still snicker at the way the Detroit was named for being
on the river, then the river got named after Detroit, for a lovely little
circular reference
DonK: didn't know that
uberRegenbogen: if you swap languages, it would be «la troit de ofriver»
uberRegenbogen: yeah, Detroit was la ville de troit
cease: the city of trout?
uberRegenbogen: hahah
uberRegenbogen: unless my vocab is badly fractured, «troit» is "river"
cease: i always thought it was riviere
cease: we have a city called trois riviere in quebec
uberRegenbogen: hmm. perhaps, je parle de mon deriere
||||||||| Catherwood walks up and announces "Presenting 'Mudhead', just
granted probation at 11:42 PM", then leaves hurriedly.
cease: new character enter
cease: at this time, usually only austin shows up
uberRegenbogen: «fleuve» == "river". now i wonder where i picked up the
other
Mudhead: I loaded Firefox to see if the problem fixed itself, the text
still is fla****ng
cease: here we are talking about rivers and mud shows up
cease: coincidence?
Mudhead: nah, im always muddy
cease: i wasa watching this flick IN OLD cHICAGO yest and it opened in
chicago strteets full of mud
||||||||| At 11:46 PM, the lights go out! Rocky Rococo's voice pierces
the inky darkness: "I've got you now, Mudhead!" Shattering glass is
heard, and then the lights come back on...
||||||||| Outside, the 11:46 PM downtown bus from Funfun Town pulls away,
leaving Mudhead coughing in a cloud of diesel fumes.
cease: did you see MASH, the flick? i loved how dirty it was. korea is a
dirty place
cease: or it was then
cease: when i went to Pusan, i thought i was in la, in a MASH set
uberRegenbogen: whatever «troit» is, the bablefish doesn't know
Mudhead: three mebbe?
uberRegenbogen: meanwhile, it looks like Yahoo absorbed AltaVista.
bablefish.altavista.com now redirects to babelfish.yahoo.com
uberRegenbogen: no, that's «trois»
uberRegenbogen shrugs
Merlyn: looks like the ice is breaking up...
cease: hey merl
Merlyn: see you next week people
||||||||| Merlyn departs at 11:53 PM, singing "Toad away, toad away; toad
away, toad away! Where do you go when you're toad away?"
cease: by merl
cease: i should have asked him what lets eat this is
cease: andclem is gone.
Mudhead: he's still playin

Mudhead: never heard this
cease: the halloween show
cease: this is let's eat, i guess
Mudhead: ahh, methinks ,y problems fixed, we;come
||||||||| Catherwood walks in wearing his pyjamas, yawns, and mumbles
"It's midnight here in New York city"...then he falls over and starts
snoring loudly..
