At long last we've found a worthwhile WebTV post! One which contains
the TWO best .signature quotes of all time:
"I drul in the webtv's box.... Can i buy webtv plus again?"

All right, let's run this through the syntax checker.
SYNTAX: NONE
The End.
Other obvious things which are wrong with this, besides it being all wrong:
(1) Four <BODY> tags instead of one.
(2) <BODY> doesn't have a colon in it in the normal world.
(3) "gard dangle" is so much more precious (in a Family Circle way)
than the presumed intent of "grad angle".
(4) "relied" is also a cute way of saying "relief".
(5) Seventeen lines of code for five letters of content ("TIGER").
(6) All these tags are WebTV-specific, and even if they weren't, would
anyone REALLY need to see an <AUDIOSCOPE> for any reason, ever?
(7) The sparkly white halo around the stock footage of the leaping tiger
against the black background is a Sid & Marty Krofft-level special effect.
(8) Next time I'm at a restaurant, I'll be sure to ask for the jead waiter.
