Com_Dark2: Mark to conductor: Come in conductor Com_Dark3: can the answers be hear? Art Video: the questions come from us, the batteries, all comprised of interconnected consciousness...not to mention a little paranoia Art Video: the answers come from the lighter side of the question conductor: Mr. Potato Head, i hope the chicken came as a perversion to an otherwise morally stable KFC Remo Campopiano: Interconnected consciousnes...all for that.... Com_Dark2: I am filled with the essence of chicken Com_Dark3: This is beautiful...I am moved... Art Video: listen carefully and watch the signs around you.... all the data around you will give you answers and provide you with ...... Com_Dark3: life... Remo Campopiano: privide me with what?

I want to fulfill my relationship with it. Conductor: Please request of the chicken if it would have a problem with me entering its space and taking control of its reproductive product for my own uses. I want to make use of its potentials.

Com_Dark3: I was unaware of the mortality of Chicken.. Mr. Potato Head: chckens are not mortal because they live to only die Com_Dark3: I tend to think that this is a technical point... conductor: we also live only to die. Mr. Potato Head: conductor: so then are we mortal conductor: the chicken says we are mortar. Com_Dark3: Is this true? Mr. Potato Head: mortars of what war? momo battery: Hey conductor. I don't like that egg in there. It's too optimistic. Can I go to the installation space, remove the egg, and if having inspected it I find it lacking, dispose of it? Com_Dark3: You wouldn't......! Mr. Potato Head: penetrate the sacred space? Com_Dark3: I'm not sure we would survive that.... momo battery: harriet says: why is the space sacred? because we cannot approach the chicken? Mr. Potato Head: lets consult the chicken..it is his space, have he not right simply because he is chicken conductor: hey harriet: the chicken says nothing's sacred. Mr. Potato Head: then grab the fuckin' egg already Com_Dark3: we are not safe... conductor: the the the the 11101102210 momo battery: the chicken has what i can't have. let's TAKE IT. momo battery: nothing's sacred. no ownership. exploitation is cool. Com_Dark3: this has gone too far... Mr. Potato Head: who will keep the egg? conductor: exploitation is the colorful and creative expression of the oppresor(s) we are nowhere. we must enable ourselves to fulfill our awkward nothingness... momo battery: does this mean that from chicken's point of view we are all the opressor? all creative? all colorful? or is existence merely black and white? Remo Campopiano: Black eggs, nice idea. conductor: there are no definitives: chicken-man-new york-woman-lawnmower-suburbia-bmw-these are your palletes from which to choose. Remo Campopiano: Cary, is it hot in there? momo battery: black is the color... of my true love's hair Remo Campopiano: black is black. momo battery: a limited palette enhances necessarily our creative capabilities or no? conductor: it is hot here. my ear is especially hot. Com_Dark3: herlips are like some roses fair... momo battery: black is excess of light Remo Campopiano: does chicken have a lover? momo battery: yes and his name is you momo battery: or a chicken can't love Remo Campopiano: hui conductor: CIRCUIT IS DOWN! Com_Dark3: Chicken, can you love? momo battery: tell us, can you LOVE Com_Dark3: Conductor , does chicken have a keyboard? I have recieved a message from Chicken's screen. Remo Campopiano: chicken loves to groom.... Com_Dark3: Yes, but I need MORE.... momo battery: she does, and she uses it every now and then, when urgency becomes extreme conductor: love-san francisco-betty-love-OUT DATED-we... Com_Dark3: I think I am in love... momo battery: more LOVE? more BLACK? more CHICKEN? or just MORE? Com_Dark3: YES!!!! Mr. Potato Head: chickens are often confused with cocks, do chickens fight.. momo battery: then have some momo battery: they do not flight, that is for sure, but accesory battery says they do fight Mr. Potato Head: my cock hurts, conductor, is that because the chicken is peking at it? Com_Dark3: Say it isn't so... momo battery: to love a chicken could be matter for tabloid cover Mr. Potato Head: unfortunitly i can not Mr. Potato Head: i read once in a tanloid that man was seen doing chicken and had babys that looked like a cloned cheep Com_Dark3: conductor you have gone black...don't leave us alone... momo battery: I think wha that guy said about his cock is immature. Be more serious about what eroticism is going on here. Because people can't have sex with chickens. momo battery: chickens are the most sexually abused farm animals, more than even sheep. Com_Dark3: Extasiur extase floor of boars I can no longer peck but I think I must be getting smart maybe? Mr. Potato Head: why can't people have sex with chickens, what makes you such the fuckin' expert conductor: there is no such thing as *things* and people do not remember things by letters and numbers. Com_Dark3: Extase of extasiere why must I hurry and poop? Mr. Potato Head: but the chicken speaks in numbers, i'm confused momo battery: Mr. P: You are immature. I grew up on a farm. I know how things work between people and chickens, and people and people. This is turning into flaming. I am sorry if I have provoked you in any way. I hope that we can return to the issue of chicken eroticism, or something more productive. Com_Dark3: conductor?How do people remember? conductor: the chicken says: I WANT TO BE DRUNK MY ENTIRE LIFE in order TO FORGET where I COME from. my grandmother was drunk her entire life. conductor: this will all be over soon. momo battery: The chicken is unable to communicate or be social. That's why I feel sorry for it. It has a morbid sense of her own problematic existence. But the only brutal solution to her dilemma is to make crude jokes about food preparation. conductor: this will be ALL OVER soon momo battery: harriet: wow, the chicken read my mind. Com_Dark3: some ha ve alzeimers and others just put it to the back closet...but we can never forget FORGET! conductor: food is essentialist. Remo Campopiano: food for thought.... momo battery: And god said, go out and take the beasts of the field and utilize them. We're users. Remo Campopiano: Need to start the next show now.... Remo Campopiano: great job, really.... Remo Campopiano: This is my favorite show.... conductor: goodbye all... we will meet again next week should our failing physicalities allow. conductor: 11001100 conductor: 11212011 conductor: 11101011010 conductor: 11141711101 conductor: over and out Com_Dark2: 101000111a destruct Com_Dark2: fade to real life
