A long, long time ago, in a galaxy far away,

a life-form evolved that consisted of individuals composed of 180 characters of text. One such individual, let's call him 'Bob' arrived on Earth today. When he landed he said

Tilt head. Lift chin. Check breathing. Give 2 breaths. Check pulse. Push chest 15 times. GASP!! "Bob, I've resurrected you. You've got 3 characters left to tell us your story." Bob

sputtered, "What in the gobbly-gook are blathering about you soft headed idiot?" I hate Bob, but now that he was alive I need the full story.

"I need the full story, Bob," I reluctantly admitted. Bob brightened and produced a large sketchbook from somewhere unmentionable. On the first page were two stick figures engaged

Were bright red, meaning they were infected. Doctor Gsgudfill declared, it was the Xixa virus and the only treatment was plastification. It would cost $4,375 to complete. Prescribe

was found in my pocket when I came to, days later. I chucked them into the nearest dumpster and was arrested for contributing to the delinquency of alley rats. Jail was a relief.
