Re: Real Life Radio from Safety Monkey

Posted at 04:49 PM on Saturday, October 9, 2004

So, this is a post I was going to write myself, but Safety Monkey said "Hey, do you want me to write it for you?" And I happen to be a very lazy person. So, here it is, something I was gonna say, but said by Safety Monkey instead.

EDIT: Safety Monkey is looking over the current e-mails for help right now. I've sort of dubbed him the unofficial manager of the shoutcast server. Any further e-mails should be directed to him at safetymonkey@twistedmonkey.net. Thanks!


Hi, kids! Star of stage and screen Safety Monkey here. An important request needs to be passed on to you, the loyal Real Life reader. Greg would do it, but he's been too busy getting worked up at IGE and (insert insulting things about Ultima Online here). So, I had to step in and do something.

The request is: Don't kick puppies. They may seem tiny, but they will affix you with the Sad Puppy Dog Stare, an 8th level ability that can reduce grown men to tears. Okay, maybe that's not the request.

Awhile ago, you may recall Greg speaking with some enthusiasm about the return of Real Life Radio, which was a pet project we were all working on to transmit condensed joy in audio form. You might then notice that there has been no news on this subject in two months. That's because, well, the guy providing us with a server and bandwidth mysteriously disappeared. Nobody is quite sure what happened to him, but the current leading evidence indicates that it got too dark and he was eaten by a grue. The point is, we need someone to help us with a Shoutcast server and enough bandwidth to spread our message of love and harmony. In exchange for your heroic service, you will be rewarded richly in the afterlife, including but not limited to a gift of not one, but fully seventy virgins. Also, Greg doesn't know this yet, but I will make him send you some Real Life swag. But I think you should do it for the virgins, mostly.

Greg, the seventy virgins and myself thank you in advance. These puppies do, too.
