MARKIE: {types in 'Markie_email_inbox.exe'} I want pudding! E-mail pudding! {presses enter}

Dear Maruku

Hey! I was wondering if you would accept a
challenge. If so, email me back telling me
where.
Hoping for a challenge

Cul, LucKalia

MARKIE: {pronounces "LucKalia" as "Lew-KAY-lee-UH"} Uh...{presses enter, starts typing} Well, Cul, it seems you are asking me for a chaaaaaaallenge. {types in "CHALLENGE"} But I'm not Maruku. Maruku is my what you call "20X6" {"two-oh-ecks-six"} form. In the year 2078. In Utah. Possibly where Maddox lives. I dunno. But you can't have that challenge. And LucKalia is off the Plitian and New Terra map. I think it's in Antarctica, or in Alaska, where the people are against oil spillage. But, in a nutshell, looks like this is another job for...

{Pan out. Cue fanfare and glorious choir.}

SINGERS: THE SPECIALIST!!! One one one one one!

{BurninatorBoombox jumps in.}

BURNINATORBOOMBOX: Hi, Markie! Scoot over a bit. {camera angle facing Bluey. BurninatorBoombox faces the e-mail.} Dear Maruku...don't you mean MAAKU? That's Markie's Japanese name.

MARKIE: {off-screen} Not really. It's transliterate.

BURNINATORBOOMBOX: {continues reading} Hey, I was wondering if you could...{pauses}...accepting challenge, blah blah blah, sincerely penguin future, generic off-map name. Wow, this guy's been reading too much fantasy fiction lately.

MARKIE: No. He's Ekul's 20X6 form.

BURNINATORBOOMBOX: Did you spoil the joke?

MARKIE: Nah. I don't know how to answer this, though. I would forward this to Maruku, but, uh, it's cliché. {starts typing} But, Cul, since you're so eager to ask for a challenge, tell Ekul that I'm going to face him off in a hot dog contest. The one who chops the most hotdogs wins...popsicles. SENT!!!

{BSOD: "EMAIL SENT!" appears, then fades.}

BURNINATORBOOMBOX: Wow, what a crappy way to end an off-era e-mail.

MARKIE: Amen to that, brother.

{The hologram projector comes down.}

Easter Egg Transcript

{Markie is standing outside the treehouse, holding his PET next to his left cheek.}

MARKIE: ...and when you're done, could you PLEASE send that customized PS9K over to my house via warp pipe? I'm dying to play my new video games I made from...tin cans and...scruff.

THATKIDSAM: ...uh, what's a PS9K? Is it one of those custom rip-offs of one of my computers? If not, then... {whispers} Hey, Icreature, you know what a PS9K is?

{Markie sighs, presses a button on the PET, and hangs up.}

Fun Facts

Trivia

• The PS9K is possibly an inspiration from Thatkidsam's e-mails, which explains the easter egg. It'll be used as A MOD for the Bluey in later times, you'll see.
• This is the second time Markie's spoiled the backwards name jokes for Ekul.

Remarks

• The back of the postcard says:

Dear Markie,
How are you, you big lug?
It's me, Maruku.
Projectile city is one heckuva riot.
Don't come here. It's...bad.
-MARUKU TEH PWNAGE
