OPEN SCENE [camera slowly pans

OPEN SCENE
[camera slowly pans around the living room, moving into the office, where we see our hero sitting in front of his computer, talking on the phone, looking relaxed]

Scott: Okay, KT, I just bought four tickets for SpiderMan for tomorrow night.
KT: They’d better have the old spider-man theme song in the movie or I’m gonna be mad.
Scott: Yeah, that would be…

[our hero sits bolt upright in his chair]

Scott: SHIT! I just bought the four tickets for TONIGHT! We have 25 minutes to get to the theater!
KT: Ummm…
Scott: Be outside your house in 10 minutes! We’re coming to get you!

[Joined by his girlfriend Annie and his brother Sean, our hero sprints to the nearest flexcar, where he and Sean discuss whether they'll make it in time, while Annie drives. A frantic race to the theater follows, resulting in our heros arriving just in time to catch the last preview and watch the movie]

((And in case you were wondering, yes, the old spider-man theme song played at the end of the credits, and there was much rejoicing.))

    Actually, I was in the middle of telling Scott my pickle story (which I never did get to finsih) when the drama began. However, the conversation recorded has taken place numerous times over and I was much pleased by the song being in the movie although it wasn’t so much in the movie as it was played during the end of the credits but that was good enough for me.

  2. urn says:

    Damn, we left before the end of the credits, so we had to sing it on our way home.

    I think we probably did a better job, anyway.

  3. scott says:

    I find this doubtful. I mean, how could you improve on the classic? ;)Spider-man, Spider-man
    Does whatever a spider can
    Spins a web, any size
    Catches thieves, just like flies
    Look out! Here comes the Spider-man!

    Is he strong? Listen, Bud!
    He’s got radioactive blood.
    Can he swing from a thread?
    Take a look overhead.
    Hey there, there goes the Spider-man!

    In the chill of night,
    At the scene of the crime
    Like a streak of light
    He arrives just in time

    Spider-man, Spider-man
    Friendly neighborhood Spider-man
    Wealth and fame, he’s ignored
    Action is his reward
    To him, life is a great big bang-up
    Wherever there’s a hang-up
    You’ll find the Spider-man!

  5. Dad ... B-) says:

    Well … you could start by fixing the MP3 link so it actually goes somewhere.

  6. scott says:

    Hmmm… it works for me. That link actually points my computer. People have had troubles downloading mp3s from me before, but for the life of me, I can’t find the problem… :(

  7. scott says:

    yaaaaaaaay *waves flags*

  8. Dad ... B-) says:

    When I use your link, all the spaces in the filename are replaced with %20 … if that’s of any help. If I try to use a piece of the URL such as http://zip.fojar.com, or some such, I just get a 401 error.

  9. Dad ... B-) says:

    oops … sorry. Not a 401 error, a DNS “server not found” error. Along with a lot of gobbledygook about 128 bit encryption and the like. Personally, I think it’s just that your computer doesn’t like mine and refuses to talk to it without email as a prophylactic barrier.

  10. KT says:

    yaaaaaaa!

  11. scott says:

    Yeah, it’s got to be [ May 8th, 2002 at 11:17 am

  12. Mr. Bread says:

    Yeah. My computer doesn’t like talking to other people’s computers at all.

  13. miles says:

    yeah, Scott, you need to edit your httpd.conf file and turn off Apache’s GARBLE_FILENAMES=YES directive.
