ARUSEUS: {while typing "run_arumail.exe"}: *imitates a techno beat* SOMEBODY EMAIL MEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!

TOM: {offscreen} I will!

ARUSEUS: You don't count.

TOM: Crap!

subject: band

Dear Aruseus or whatever-
I've been wondering about a few things--namely,
if you started yourself a band, what would it be
like, and what kind of music would it play?
From your best pal,
Zippy P. Platypus

ARUSEUS: {typing} Ah, Zippy. My crazy purple general. I was about to Hyper Beam you but instead I'll answer.

{Aruseus clears the screen}

ARUSEUS: {typing} Well Zippy, of course I would be a rock band. Rock is like THE newest kind of music. The name however, I am stuck on...Sneakerpork? The All-FCUSA Rejects? Metaloclypse? I got it! The RING ZING!

{Cut to a stage, Aruseus is standing with a microphone, Lyle is by an electric guitar}

ARUSEUS: {looking around} Where in the holy name of Strongbadian Crap is Tom?

LYLE: {The Cheat noises}

ARUSEUS: {sniffs} Wait! I can smell his crappy cologne! {runs offscreen}

LYLE: {looks around, grins nervously}

{Cut to Marzipan's House, the Cool Tapes are there, with Tom hanging upside-down, rocking back and forth slowly, he has a bandana over his mouth, muffling his speech}

ARUSEUS: {looking around} What in Pete Sampras is going on here!?

MARZIPAN: Well we were afraid your band would be better than us, so we captured your lead singer.

STRONG MAD: RING ZING RUUUULLLEEE!

ARUSEUS: Singer? He's our crappy drummer! Keep him!

TOM: {muffled} HEY!

STRONG MAD: COOL GRAPES!

MARZIPAN: That's Cool Tapes.

{Cut back to stage, Aruseus and Lyle are playing}

TOM: {imitating and old person, throws tomatoes at Lyle and Aruseus} Boo! Boo! You guys stink!

{Tom is shown sitting in one of the many empty seats in the audience, he is dressed in a leather coat and has a fake beard and a golf hat}}

TOM: Where's your drummer?

ARUSEUS: Uh...should we go free Tom now?

LYLE: {angry The Cheat noises}

{The Paper comes down}
