RiffText/AruseusEmails/catchphrase

Aruseus thinks of a catchphrase. ZIPPYMAIL CROSSOVER!

NAMINE: To whoever made Zippymail, whatever it is: I am going to hunt you down. I will draw the blueprints to your demise, and-

NOXIGAR: Hey, uh, whoever made Zippymail tried to riff this earlier and failed miserably. We're picking up the pieces since they failed to meet their own riff quota.
NAMINE: Aww, I wanted to obfuscate a legitimate threat!
NOXIGAR: Sorry, but I actually know who made Zippy Emails. It's the only other person outside of JCM who I trust to riff competently with enough consistency to make his riffs not just "funny once in a blue moon." If this guy did MFT3K purely by himself, it'd not be riffed by me.

NAMINE: Oh, okay. Well, I won't hunt you down then, whoever made Zippymail.

ARUSEUS: {while typing "run_arumail.exe", to the tune pf the Homestar Runner theme song}: Aaaaaaaa-ruuuuu-seee-us.

subject: phrase

Aruses,
You need a catchphrase.

- Zi- I mean Mitch

ARUSEUS: Aw great. An email that will make my head explode...from thinking too much. {clears screen}

ARUSEUS: {typing} Well, Zimitichi, I have no idea what my catchphrase would be. I think I'll have to ask some people. {leaves}

{Cut to the field, Tom is there with Coach Z}

TOM: So I was telling him about how wrong it is to auction my Shploitz and-

{Aruseus walks in}

ARUSEUS: Hey guys. Do any of you two know of something I could use as a catchphrase?

TOM: No, not really.

ARUSEUS: Carp. I mean crap! What about you, Coach?

COACH Z: Sorry, man! I'm drawering a blornk!

ARUSEUS: Double carp.

{Aruseus walks off, Cut back to Lappy.}

ARUSEUS: Guh-blargh. I talked to everyone and no good ideas. Wait. there is another...

TOM: Aruseus, I'm going to the li-berry to pick up a book for Lyle. I think Zippy's there.

ARUSEUS: Thats it! {runs out}

{Cut to Zippy's Bedroom}

ZIPPY: What does my name mean? Come on... speak to me... wait, I know! ... Wait, no.

{Aruseus walks in.}

ARUSEUS: Hi, Zippy!

ZIPPY: Why are you in my house?

ARUSEUS: Don't ask. Well, now that the greeting's out of the way... can you do my taxes?

ZIPPY: No.

ARUSEUS: Fine. Can you do my homework, then?

ZIPPY: You have homework?

{Suddenly, Zippy notices a L.U.R.N. shirt on Aruseus.}

ZIPPY: Oh.

ARUSEUS: Can you believe it?

ZIPPY: Surprisingly, yes. Now, why are you really here?

ARUSEUS: I just got a really stupid email about my catchphrase. Can you give me any ideas?

ZIPPY: ... How about, "wiggy jiggy?"

ARUSEUS: Nah.

ZIPPY: I see. Listen, I too got a stupid email about my name. What would you do in this situation?

ARUSEUS: Now, usually I'd toss macademia nuts at that creepy green bird that keeps hanging around your house, but in this situation... well, I'd still toss nuts at that bird.

ZIPPY: That green bird is Kooky.

ARUSEUS: Oh, no wonder it kept yelling at me. Did- did you notice we're completely straying from the topic at hand?

ZIPPY: Yes. Yes I did. Frankly, I think every Zippy Email should be like this. In fact, why not change the name of the show to "Zippy and Aruseus's Funtime Jamboree?"

ARUSEUS: Because that name sucks and I hate it.

ZIPPY: Ah. Now, shouldn't we be ending the email already? The email that's a sorry excuse of an email?

ARUSEUS: Sure.

{The Paper comes down.}

ARUSEUS: Hey! The e-mail is not over yet!

ZIPPY: Um...That's the end of MY email.

ARUSEUS: Oh. {Aruseus all of a sudden has a shocked look on his face} Zippy?

ZIPPY: What?

ARUSEUS: I think I just pulled a crossover.

ZIPPY: Riiiiight...

ARUSEUS: {scared} AHH!

ZIPPY: Calm down, man.

ARUSEUS: Okay. Well, I better go finish my email. {Runs out}

ZIPPY: Whatever.

{Cut back to Lappy}

ARUSEUS: {typing} So sorry, Mitchy. I don't have a catchphrase. So bye.

{The Paper comes down}
