Show transcript

Do you think boogeymen really exist? I don't know. ... but if they do, I'm sure this is where they live. That was the creepiest campfire story I've ever heard. Let's get back to the tent! I don't think I'll ever sleep again. Shh! What? Did you hear something?? Didn't you? I don't know. What did it sound like? Sort of like breathing and drooling and ripping the meat off human bones. Yaahhhh. You were right. I'm glad we carried a generator all this distance. Spaceman Spiff flees the bug beings of Zartron-9. Our hero swings around and readies his computer-guided death ray blaster. It's taking a long time to boot up. Finally, it does, and Spiff selects 'blaster'. He gets pull down settings and a dialog box. He makes his selections, but the screen doesn't change. He tries 'F1' for help. He goes through the choices. None of them is correct. He hadn't set the number of volts. He enters it and gets an 'invalid setting' indication. KRAKK! Spiff is hit and is going down. Dad can't get his computer to boot up. He asks if someone has been playing with it.

Calvin walks by and says the whole thing went down, but he jumped clear at the last second.
