Mike Nelson: So Eric sees me there in the audience, and---Tom, are you
paying attention?

Tom Servo: ZZrrn--huh? Uh, I mean yeah, I was, uh, what was the
question?

Mike: I was talking about the night I played lead ukelele on "Sunshine
of Your Love". Weren't you listening? Would you like me to start over?

Tom: Uh, NO, I mean, I don't think that would be necessary. (Crow! Get
me out of this!)

Crow T. Robot: I think that Tom here was meditating upon the wonder of
an expert such as Clapton not knowing sooner that a ukelele player of
your calibre was...

Magic voice: Commercial in one minute.

Crow: ...er, Mike, I think that's your cue.

Mike: Hi, folks! Welcome to the Satelite of Love! I'm Mike Nelson,
this is Tom Servo, and that's Crow T. Robot over there.

Crow: Charmed, I'm sure.

Gypsy: Excuse me, Mike.

Mike: We're just whittling away the time between the torture sessions
administered by our local evil scientists, the Mads.

Magic voice: Thirty seconds to commercial.

Mike: I was just explaining about how I---

Gypsy: Mike, watch out...

Mike (oblivious): ---got to be on Eric Clapton's _24_Nights_ album.
Many people don't know it,...

Gypsy: Mike...

Mike: ...but I'm well-known in the music world as a ukelele virtuoso,
and Iiiiaaaa---

{CRASH!}

Gypsy: Ooops!

Mike: My ukelele!

[Mentos Commercial: _Mentos:__The_Quickening_]

Mike: Waaaaaaaaauuugh!

Tom: That's it, guy. Let it all out.

Mike: Nnhunh, nnh, {hic} aaaauuuuuuuggghhh!

[Mads' light starts blinking]

Crow: Look out, it's Smokey and the Bear. Get a grip on yourself, man.
C'mon, it's only a ukelele.

Mike: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAUUUUUUUUUUUUU!

Tom: Nice going, Crow! Easy, Mike. Calm down, easy, guy. Everything's
gonna be all right.

Doctor Forrester: That's what YOU think!

Crow: Go easy on him, Forrester, he's just been through a dreadful
shock!

Dr. F: Well, maybe it might have gotten him ready for today's
experiment...but I hope not!

Mike: {snif}, {mumble, mumble}

Dr. F: What was that?

Mike: I said, "Do your worst, Forrester."

Dr. F: With pleasure! But first, the invention exchange! What do you
have for me this week?

Mike: How about you start first, so I can set up?

Dr. F: Very well, if only to avoid any more delays. But don't ever let
me hear you say again that I have no compassion! Frank!

Frank: Yes, your Supreme Evilness?

Dr. F: Bring it in! Quickly!

[Frank lugs over a large tube]

Frank: Your wish is my com---

Dr. F: Yes, yes, I know. Well, Squid-bait, here it is, the Zuma
Bazooka! I merely place a few lines of text into it, and watch what
happens!

Dr. F: All of this in less that three seconds! What do you think?

Mike: You're a sick, sick man.

Dr. F: Why, thank you, Nelson. I didn't know you had it in you. Now,
where is your invention?

Mike: Well, have you ever spent a lot of time, thinking up of the
perfect signature, only to have it truncated by some fascist inews
program at the meager length of four lines? Well, with my Sig-shrinker,
you can worry no more. I mean, look at this:

Dr. F: Such beauty!

Mike: Uh, whatever. So you just insert it into here...and voila!

Mike: I...guess there are still a few bugs to be worked out of it.

Frank: Wow! In stereo even! Incredible!

Mike: Uh...

Dr. F: Fantastic work, Nelson. I could let you go for this.

Mike: Uh...

Dr. F: But I won't. Instead, I'll subject you to even more
excruciatingly painful postings from around the world! Ha! How's that
for irony?

Mike: Uh...

Dr. F: Oh, you're speechless. Well, I'll tell you a little about what
you're about to view. It isn't just one meager posting, oh, no.

Crow: Not *two* Star Trek fanfics! He'll never live through it!

Dr. F: What a good idea! No, that's not what we have for you today.
Today, we've just have everyday, ordinary Usenet posts.

Tom: Whew!

Dr. F: ...stripped of all context and meaning, and left with --- only
the signature!

Mike: AAAAUUUUUUGH!

[Usenet sign flashes]

Crow: We've got the netnews sign!

Mike: His sword is so big, it won't even fit ON THE SCREEN!

Crow: But it's only four lines. George McQuarry says that one should
have been thrown back.

Mike: So, fellas, what did we learn from all of this?

Crow: That inews truncates at four lines?

Tom: Never underestimate the tenacity of a Delphoid?

Crow: De-uglify your sig before it gets warlorded?

Dr. F (leaning into the intercom): THAT YOU ARE MINE TO TORMENT AS I SEE

Tom: Aaaaah! Don't DO that!

Dr. F: MAKE ME.

Mike: Hey, Tom, lemme fix those eye actuators.

Crow: I want to watch!

[Mike and crew walk off.]

Dr. F: Hey! Come back here! Come back here! Oh, well. Push the
button, Frank.

Frank: A likely story, 'SPDA-paid Freaky Forrester'. I would sooner
believe that Turks killed 2.5 million Armenians than push a fascist
x-Soviet Armenian button for you.

[Walks off.]

Dr. F: Come back here! Come back --- ah, to heck with it.
