1. about 10 years ago on FoxTrot

   Heard of Fortran back in high school (class of ’82) along with COBOL, Pascal was a new language then. Programmed in Basic using Apple II computers and occasionally remotes using teletypes. One of my favorite basic programs:

   10 print “I am a computer.”20 for a = 1 to 430 print “Nothing can go”40 for b = 1 to 350 print “wrong”60 next b70 next a80 end

   Had no idea what it would do until we ran it. Hilarious on a teletype at 10 cps.

   Originally Lurch wasn’t supposed to speak, but the first time he uttered “You rang?” they thought it worked so well and decided to keep it in.

   Which is exactly the reaction I’d have to being booted if I were ever crazy enough to be on one of those reality shows.

   Guess that explains why much of the story lines got wrapped up so nicely in the last couple of weeks. Thanks for all the laughs, tears, and joyful moments, and please consider publishing some of these in book form (oops, I guess you did already—where’s my check book?)

   I was wondering about that too . . .

   No, it’s Hong Kong Phooey, then Captain Caveman, and THEN Jay.

    I was going to say “spray” but think we need the other clues.
