A friend sent me this little gem. I don't know who the author is.
A note to nonresidents of the US - This is a spoof of a popular radio show
on public radio, "Car Talk." The real hosts talk very much like the two
shown below.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
C: Hello and Welcome to MECH TALK. We're Flash and Crash, the Mecha Brothers.
F: We're broadcasting today from the top of Mech Talk Tower, in the heart of
Neo-MegaTokyo-3...
C: ...our fair city...
F: ...and we'll be taking your calls and dipping into our Department of
MechaMusicology.
C: And our first call today is from Leon. Hello Leon, you're on Mech Talk.
L: Hey.
F: Hey, Leon.
L: Hey.
C: Hey, Leon. Whatcha pilotin' there?
L: K-12. Having a little trouble with it.
F: What kinda trouble, Leon.
L: Well, I get my butt kicked every time I go up against anything tougher than
a sexaroid with PMS.
C: Yeah, this is a common problem with the K-12.
F: Oh, yeah.
C: So, you're doin' a lotta anti-boomer work? Bu-55s, et al?
L: Uh-huh. Day in day out. You know how it is.
F: Mm-hmm. Well, you've really got very little choice in the matter, here.
The underlying problem is that all ADP-issue mechs...
C: ...such as the K-12...
F: ...yeah, are-- oh, how shall we put it...
C: ...not quite up to...
F: ...fall a little short of...
C: ...aah... ...pieces...
F: ...yeah, pieces of...
C: Utter crap.
F: Absolutely. Pieces of utter crap. Honest to God, son, if you weren't the
prime audience's identifying character you'da been street cheese before
"Revenge Road".
L: So what should I do?
C: Well, there's only one thing TO do. You gotta get your own series.
F: Sure.
L: Really?
C: Yeah, and you've GOTTA try to get away from Sonoda.
F: OH yeah. Best you can hope for with him in the picture is second banana to
a pair of lace panties on an underaged sidekick.
L: But he gives me LOTS of good guns...
F: But that's ALL you're gonna get. Virginal teases in wigs and leather
minis.
That's Sonoda.
C: Yeah, and forget about THAT one, by the way. She's a lesbian.
L: Really?
F&C: OH, yeah!!!!
L: Well, okay...
C: Okay, Leon! Good luck!
F: See-ya later, Leon. B'bye. And our next call is from Rei.
C: Hello Rei, you're on Mech Talk.
R: ...
F: Hello. Rei?
R: ...
C: What's your problem, Rei?
R: Blue.
...
...
F: Uhh...
C: Yeah, you're gonna have to be a little more specif--
R: Blue mecha.
...
C: Okay, that's a start...
F: You sure you're name's not Brenda?
R: Blue Mecha. Color of the sea. I can hear the sea. Wrong movie.
F: Err... that's a little off-topic, but--
R: Movie. Long movie. Movie that I hate. "Why not a romantic comedy?", I
said. I can do comedy. I wrote a joke.
C: Uhh, did you have a problem with your mech we can help with?
R: Unit Zero. The prototype. It never liked me. It smelled like blood.
Blood is red. Color I hate. Color of the mech of the pilot of Unit Two.
F: Well, sure, the color of your mech is a very individual thing.
C: Yeah, you could re-paint your mech, y'know...
R: They did.
C: They did?
R: Yes. It was orange. Color of... oranges. Now it is blue. Nobody told me
why. I think it was so they could sell more models. It doesn't go with my
suit anymore. They didn't change my suit. Ikari had the blue one already.
Did I tell you my joke yet?
C: Ah, no. That's about all the time we have this week...
R: It goes like this: They're going to make an audio hentai Evangelion.
F: So join us again next week on mech talk.
R: Thirty minutes of silence and then I say "Are we done now?"
C: In the meantime...
R: Wasn't that funny? I thought so.
C: ...don't pilot like my brother.
R: Ha-ha.
F: Don't pilot like my brother.
