(COOLLIST) What Is It Girl?
Well, I've been out of communication lately... very busy time. I
did want to send out the idea to a segment for my next TV show to
get the crowd reaction. When I thought of it, I nearly busted a
gut.
[opening shot of me working on computer, screen not visible]
Off-Camera Voice: You've got mail.
[view of screen, its black with a UNIX prompt. I type "elm" and up
comes a mail program with one message, from lassie@tvland.com.]
Ben: Hmm, incoming message from Lassie.
[I hit a key, and the screen launches into the message, a Bannerfied
text saying "RUFF-RUFF!"]
Ben: I guess I should run this through ruff-ruff-decode.
[I pipe the message to rrdecode which displays it as a high English
message indicating that our mutual friend, Master Timothy, is trapped
in the Well. After reading it aloud, cut back to my face for reaction.]
Ben: Good girl! I'll go see if I can find him.
Let's see... telnet... well dot com.
[Closing shot is of me typing "telnet well.com"]
So, what do you think, sirs?
