Once upon a time, there were a couple of people who wrote an internet
magazine. They had sooooooo much fun doing it that they'd never even
*think* of charging people to subscribe. Eventually, they discovered that
they waited waaaaaaay too long to start the zine every week. They waited
until the day before they sent it out to write anything.......can you say
"procrastinator?" Good! I knew you could! Yes, we are aware that this
paragraph doesn't really hang together grammatically, but we've decided to
charge you all two million dollars a year subscription rate. We know you
all will happily agree to this, because of course we are just kidding.
Peanut and butter.
And now for something completely different!! (Gee, do you recognize the
Monty Python reference there? eh?)
How to Tell if you've been on IRC too long...
1. Every time you meet someone new, you want to do a /whois...
2. If you feel tired, you refer to yourself as being "lagged"
3. You know your irc pals better than your own family
4. You duct tape people to fake poles...with fake duct tape
5. The highlight of your life is getting an irc upgrade...
"Whoooooeeeey!! I got mIRC 4.0!!!!! Ahhhh...life is good!"
6. People call you by your irc nick more often than your real name
7. You sacrifice laundry, feeding pets, even feeding yourself just to
get on irc and "see who's there..."
8. You know what items to put on a list titled "How to tell if you've
been on IRC too long..."
9. You get extremely bored when the computer is down...
10. You think in IRC terms..."/me is tired, /me is hungry, /me slaps Mr.
Rogers around a bit with a stuffed Energizer Bunny..."

AS THE TRACTOR BURNS
@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@
The Characters:
Raul: played by Jim Varney
Esmerelda: played by Roseanne
I.M. Gilty: played by O.J. Simpson
Howard Stern: played by Barney the Dinosaur
Al Rightithen: played by Jim Carrey
Buffy: played by Princess Di
Last week on ATTB, something happened, only we don't know what it was at
this point, because we haven't checked the last issue yet....
Oh yes!! Of course!! Four of the gang took a trip to Mr. Roger's
Neighborhood! I.M. & Buffy stayed at the Town of Crazy Jail.
All of a sudden, the scene shifts to Niagara Falls, where Al is about to
go over in a barrel...
Al: I'm going!! You can't stop me!!!
Buffy: Don't worry, we won't.
Al: *climbs into the barrel*
Howard: Doesn't it bother you guys at all that the plot of this shifts in
severely crazy ways EVERY STEENKING WEEK??
Am-E: Pls don't abuse caps!
(Note to the clueless: It's an irc thang-- Am-E is a bot on a channel,
and if people use caps too much, they get er...reprimanded)
Howard: I CAN SPEAK IN CAPS IF I WANT TO!
Al: But those caps look so much more intimidating than those nice, docile
lower-case letters!
Buffy: I just love saying the word ukulele-- I love spelling it
too...ukulele...ukulele...ukulele....
***Buffy was kicked by Raul (overuse of the word ukulele...)
Narrator: And so the writers of FME did over-use the irc jokes, and did
so decide to use another vehicle for the humor...
(Plymouth Neon drives onto the scene)
Neon: Hi
Al: Hmmm...that must be the vehicle they were talking about!
Esmerelda: Al, weren't you going to go over the falls in a barrel? Get
on with it, already!!
Al: Fine then! I will! *squats in the barrel* Uh...can someone push
me?
Raul: Sure, I will! *pushes Al off the falls*
Al: AAAAAAAAAAAAAARGH!!!!!!! *splash*
Buffy: *reappears on the scene* *hops into the Neon and disappears on the
horizon*
Raul: *pulls out a super-soaker and fills it with water*
Esmerelda: I've always wished I could have a cat named Steve!
Howard: Geeesh, people-- the plot is even stupider than usual
today...these !@#$%%^ writers must be suffering from sleep
deprivation or something....
I.M.: No, they're just high on Kool-aid dust...
Join us next time, when we hopefully come up with a better plot....or at
least some stupendous poofs of smoke...
