Alien: "Blogg! Ukh muggablukk SPIFF!" Alien 2: "SPIFF?! Blecck blecck!" Spaceman Spiff: "We join our her, the courageous Spaceman Spiff, as he flees the awful, bug beings of Zartron-9!" Spaceman Spiff: "Spiff's only chance is a daring stretegy of head-to-head combat! Our hero swings around and readies his computer-guided DEATH RAY BLASTER!" Spaceman Spiff: "..Tum te tum tum..." Spaceman Spiff: "I wish this booted up father. C'mon c'mon" Spaceman Spiff: "There we go. Let's see, get the 'file' icon...double click on "blaster"..." Spaceman Spiff: "Hmm, pull down "setting"...get the dialog box...click on "rays" select "death"... hit "ok." Hey, what's the matter? Why didn't my screen chance?!" Spaceman Spiff: "Hit "F1" for "help"... "about blasters"... nope... "calibrating blasters"...nope... "charging the fizzler"...no..."fizzling the charger"...no" "incineration guidelines"...oh, this is annoying!" Spiff: "Oh wait, I didn't enter the number of volts! That's it! Type in "gazillions" hot "ok" WHAT?! "Invalid setting" DARN! Go back to "volts," highlight "gazillion," press "delete." Type in..." Spiff: "SPIFF IS HIT! He's going DOWN!" Dad: "Hey, why don't this boot up? Has somebody been playing with this thing?!" Calvin: "The whole thing went down, dad. Luckily I jumped clear at the last second"
