Re: Newbie Rejection?
a screenplay by Drnkn Q. Mnky
Starring: (in order of apperance):
me@bistromat.de as Dominik Adams cbc@dcwi.com as (Other) afda@imb.clara.net as iain hollis@enterprise-plc.com as hollis2 jskaaning@vip.cybercity.dk as Jacob[FADE IN]
Scene: It is a normal Tuesday night in alt.fan.douglas-adams.
Various froup members are sitting around, chatting, reading, playing handball, eating corned beef, etc.
In walks DOMINIK ADAMS from THE SHADOWS (stage left).
DOMINIK:
I'm obviously new to the froup, but nobody bothers to ask me the SOD question. Should I feel rejected ?
(beat)
Ok, ok, I'll return to the Shadows and keep on lurking.
OTHER: (to DOMINIK)
OK, Have you read the Salmon of Doubt? It's the best Douglas Adams book EVER!
If you don't believe me read the reviews on amazon.com
Do you feel better now?
I would like to point out that you showed up before I took the responsibility of asking about SOD.
And Welcome to the froup.
IAIN: (mumbling to himself)
far back in the ancient mists of time, when i was a new here, it was the newbie's job to ask about the Salmon of Doubt, not the other way around.
how times change!
HOLLIS:Can I nominate Mr D. Adams as the Best Newbie Name of the Month?
JACOB: (to HOLLIS)Yes, but we would need a script, so it would never actually come to anything.
[FADE OUT]
FIN
1) What Jacob means here is a cgi script, to allow froupies to vote for Newbie of the Month.
Neither Colin nor I ever actually got around to writing one.
2) Carole thinks Oprah Winfrey should play her.
