I'm going to put it [the second season's opening credit reel  -ed.] together myself Wednesday night as it seems there's no one director for it, however I'd appreciate a volunteer to keep me company as well as keep a check on it (so that I'm not the only one making the call) -Sean From: Roberta Brodsky To: Myles Nye Subject: Camera man Received: 4.11.00 9:29 PM Is your roommate still interested in filming or no? From: Thor Erickson To: Myles Nye Subject: Memory loss Received: 4.13.00 4:54 PM Hey Myles, Can you remember some of the ideas for the Men's Advocacy skit that were on the board at the meeting?  I've got, Men-o-pause, manpons, the duderus...  what other savvy puns are there?  Help! Thor From: Kris Holcomb To: Roberta Brodsky Subject: Fake News: The News of Tommorrow-Today' Received: 4.13.00 8:38 PM Hello, Roberta.  How about this for the 4/20 Episode.  'Fake News:  The News of Tommorrow-Today'.  And we report a whole bunch of fake stories that would not ordinarily be broadcasted in the regular newscast.  For example: Kris Holcomb becomes the first Mexican American president of the United States under the age of 35...(turns the page) to endorse 'The Mike & Ben Show'. Tuition now reaches a new all-time high, reaching $500,000 a quarter/semester per student...and that's just the California residents who attend public universities.  Wait until you get to private ivy league schools, you out-of-state fools. We now have a new sponser for 'Fake News':  empty water bottle.  Remember, for that refreshness you can't do without, it's always empty water bottle that'll do the job. We've just received word that Kris Holcomb has been attacked with an empty water bottle.  We go now to field agent, Kris Holcomb.  Kris, are you there? Yes, I certainly am.  Just moments before, Kris Holcomb has been attacked with an empty water bottle.  We have police officer Sean Hart with more details.  Sean. Sean:  Yes, just moments before, Kris Holcomb has been attacked by a suspect, who is known as Kris Holcomb.  Here is his composite, he sports a scar on his left cheek, brown hair, and a mischievous smile.  Remember, if you see Kris Holcomb, remember, that he is heavily dangerous and armed with an empty water bottle. Kris:  Thank you, officer Sean.  We'll keep you posted on the tragic events that have happened, Anchorman Kris Holcomb. Anchorman:  Thank you for the informative field reporting, Kris Holcomb.  And finally, to, sadly, cap off our fake news report, we have just learned that, after so many seconds of informative fake information, 'Fake News:  The News of Tommorrow-Today' will be yanked off the air, not for its humorous misinformation, but because nobody wants to laugh at the stuff that will never happen.  Good night, and sleep tight, you fascist Americans. (Segment closes with the song from Cheech & Chongs Wedding Album, 'Earache My Eye') Tell me what you think, Kris Holcomb   From: Roberta Brodsky Subject: Today at 2 Received: 4.14.00 8:02 PM We need more actors (preferably male) today at 2 for Thor's male impregnation foundation skitch. Today (Friday) at 2, meet at the radio station. Thank you Roberta   From: Sean Heckman Subject: Editing Freeze until Monday Received: 4.14.00 10:31 PM Hello all, I've mentioned this to a couple of you already, but I'm going to freeze all of our edits until Monday or later. Show 1 done except for compiling it all, so e're in good shape, and seeing as it is their first show the guys at Mainline could really use all the editing time they can get this weekend. This only applies to a couple of you anyway, but my apologies for any inconvenience. It's the first time Mainline has ever done anything like this so we need to cut them a little slack, especially as their premiere is right around the corner. What we're going to do from here on out is designate editing "days" for the different shows so that we don't have to worry as much about overlapping, etc. as someone waits to use the editing room. We'll talk in greater detail on Sunday. Have a good weekend and start thinking about the frats!!! -Sean From: Kris Holcomb To: Mike Pesses Subject: RE: Re: Bad stuff Received: 4.12.00 12:01 PM Dude!!!  Now, I don't want to write anything, but I'm bored and have nothing to do.  Where do I have to go to find some good stuff around here?  Never mind, I don't need any Aspirin, my headache's gone.  Almost.  God, man, I'm so stressed right now, it feels like my head's going to explode, again.  Oh great, here it goes again.  KABOOM.  Great, my head rebuilt itself back onto my neck and body.  I can never take a break.  Stupid doctors giving me the stupid power of regeneration.  Spielberg was right, E.T.  never gives anything for free unless you're willing to accept the consequences.  Now, I can't lose any body parts without having them grow back.  Of course, it tingles a lot when the part grows back.  You know what that means.  All them horny guys, would be happy, 'cuz they'd be able to cut off they're dingalings with the end result of that one extrematy.  Now, they'd have a massive Woody, if you know what I mean, because I did say that it does tingle when parts regenerate,! !  making them extremely sensitive for a while.  Anyways, I think my headache's almost gone.  Amazing, isn't it.  I've managed to turn a headache into nonsensical, random, jargon. Idea for skit:Hey, wouldn't it be funny if, for the 4/20 episode, we make fun of protestors.  The skit would, I don't know the world that's supposed to go here, it's a $50 word, be titled, 'Protesting the Protestors'.  The tireless efforts of these TWO, count them, TWO, protestors, fighting to keep the world safe from the evils of those who are protesting everything. Protestor holding sign which reads:  'Protestors SUCK' Preacher protestor says stuff like:  'Protestors are wimps.  They have no tolerance.  They just want to complain to whomever happens to hear them.  Just ignore loud, preachy, protestors who do not know when to keep their big fat mouth shut.  Just walk away.  Ignore them.' Protestor with sign says:  'A protestor holding  a sigh, not to dissimilar to the one I'm holding, came up to me and beat me up, because I chose to listen to Michael Jackson, and not NSYNC, or the Backstreet Boys. Preacher protestor:  You hear that.  This unfortunate young man, who choses to listen to a Pop legend who can write his own songs, was beaten up by a protestor who chooses to listen to 5, or 10, young men who can neither song on key nor write their own songs.  We must bring an end to such travisties, we must say no to these protestors, we must walk up to them and say, 'Hell no, you, protestor, should go.'  Now, it's time for the official anthem, which goes, 'We are the protestors, protesting protestors' (and so forth and so on, onto the end of humanity, or the end of the skit, which means they'll be chanting forever). End of skit. Believe me, Mike, this skit is only funny when you've not had a good night sleep, when I'm writting it at 10:45 in the evening, when I'm tired, and have a whole bunch of soda running through my system.  Oh, GOD, release me from such pain.  Wait a minute, I can get rid of such miniscuous problems (not that problem.  My, ahem, thing, is way larger than any other's, ahem, thing.  I'ts so long, I may as well be a horse.  I'm talking about my headache).  I'm going to turn into some cannis form, perhaps, lupis, or vulpes.  Figure out what I'm going to turn into, email me a response, and I'll tell you whether or not you're wrong or right.  Remember, either cannis lupis or cannis vulpes, not cannis latris.  Solve the puzzle and ask for the right answer, and perhaps you'll join me.  You have until midnight, on the evening of Wednesday, April 12, to respond, or you'll end up a cannis latris. Kris Holcomb P.S.  'Who is the man who always gets the ladies names?'  Kris.'  'He's a complicated man whom no one understands.'  'Kris.'  'Don't mess with Kris the man, 'cuz he's one great big mother---'  'Shut your mouth!' 'But I'm talking about Kris.' 'I can dig it'. [Mike then forwarded this message to Joe Walcek, Ben Larson, Sean Heckman, Price Peterson, Rizwan Kassim, Myles Nye, Sean Hart, Thor Erickson, Greg Snyder, Tim Heiderich, Roberta Brodsky, Rebecca Rosenberg, and Ceci Mak] From: Joe Walcek Subject: Re: [Fwd: Bad stuff] Received: 4.16.00 3:17 AM the scary part is that he sent this to me before... JUST ME....! Now that I've read that, I'd like to read about the actual Women's History episode. Dear Lord please take me back to the top
