subject:heyHey Zippy,
DON'T LOOK BUT THERE'S A CHAINSAW GUY RIGHT BEHIND YOU AND HE'S GOT A CHAINSAW AND HE'S HACKING AND SLASHING AND AUGSGSHAGFDJSGAGAGA!
ZIPPY: What do you think you're kidding? There's no chainsaw guy behind me-
{The sound of a chainsaw starting is heard. Zippy turns around to see a masked killer holding two chainsaws.}
ZIPPY: AAAAAAH!
{Cut: Zippy's Bedroom. Zippy wakes up, screaming.}
ZIPPY: AAAH! Oh... oh, man. That was scary. That's the last time I eat anything with ketchup, man.
{Zippy looks at the clock. It says "EMAIL:00".}
ZIPPY: Oh, dang! It's email-o'clock! Time to check my email!
{Zippy gets his phone out.}
ZIPPY: Email me some words, and some sentences too! {opens email}

Zoo977, Dot, and Albino
If you could invent a computer, what would it be like? Purple? Glowing? 200 cup holders on the sides?
Weirdly,
{Zippy looks at the subject line, and says, "wh- how do you pronounce that? Whatever."}
ZIPPY: Weirdly is right. {typing} So, Zoo, Dot, Albano, whatever your names are... what would I do with a custom computer? Well, we have a scientist across the street, so... why not ask him?
{Cut: Kooky's Lab.}
KOOKY: Hey, Zip! What's goin' on?
ZIPPY: I got an email from a zoo or something. They're asking what I would put in a custom computer.
KOOKY: Really? Now that's a good question.
ZIPPY: Speaking of which... Where is my old computer?
KOOKY: Well, I'm retooling it right now. It should be done in, say, seven days.
ZIPPY: Oh, thank God! My thumbs are starting to grow tiny pecs with all the typing I've been doing on this thing.
KOOKY: That's... disgusting. So, anyway, about the question... what would you put in it, Zip?
ZIPPY: That's easy! To the White Screen of Ingenuity!
KOOKY: Wh-
{Cut: a white screen. A normal computer is sitting there.}
ZIPPY: {v.o.} To start off with, this computer would have to be super sleek. So... it would naturally be one of those hologrammy computers.
{The computer turns into a futuristic holo-screen computer.}
ZIPPY: {v.o.} Yeah. That's awesome. Plus it would have to be able to serve drinks.
{A glass appears next to the computer. Some liquid falls in.}
ZIPPY: {v.o.} And it would obviously have a wacky personality!
{The computer shows a face on it.}
COMPUTER: Hi-lo, Comrades!
ZIPPY: {v.o.} Yeah. A Russki computer. Sweet.
{Cut: Kooky's Lab.}
ZIPPY: So, Kooks. Can you make me that?
KOOKY: Listen, Zip, I'm only a novice scientist. I don't know how to work with these kind of things. Sorry, mate.
ZIPPY: Awww! {disappointed} But you're the smart one.
{Zippy walks off. Kooky looks around to inspect the area, then goes into his own room. Inside is the computer Zippy described.}
KOOKY: The secret is all mine... Heh!
{Cut: Zippy's Bedroom.}
ZIPPY: {typing} So yeah, Zoo and Friends, that's what my computer would be like. Too bad science hasn't caught up with my awesome imagination. {speaking} So long, party peoples!
