Like my grandma always say, “Partrice, ton inbox. c’est plein de fan-mail!”
And was she ever right. Some real ‘gems’Â (pard0n tha #punzz) have landed in my toujours uber.hyp3r.stuffd inBox. Kud0s to CBCer’s from coast to coast for the insites, insights and inside dizz-0pe. Here are just a c0uple ov recent x-missions!
Sicko Toront-oid Pollutes Arctic Printer
Hi Patrice,
I just wanted hedz-up you that you guys are going to see some tickets coming in from us soon.
Ever since they published that ‘how-to-print to any printer’ thing on the Official CBC Blog, some cretin from Toronto keeps sending print jobs up here as some kind of sick joke. Really twisted stuff that I don’t even want to describe via e-mail. And publicity shots of Louis Del Grande, which was kind of funny the first 46 times times it happened.
Well, gotta go load up the Pitney-Bowes LaserStar 8500 with another ream before more of these hipster antics trip the out-of-paper siren. You could write a Great Eastern sketch about some of the over-engineered gadgets they custom-built for us up here.
All the best,
Conrad X

Chère Comrade Conrad,
This kind of Sèan Cullen style tomf00lery might fly south of 60, but it’s just like being jabbed with a huge narwhal horn when that out ov papR alarm gets tripped. They really did over-build a lot of stuff up there, eh? A thr0wback to a more rugged, robustly funded and, let’s face it, dweeb-centric CBC. I’ll start cooking up s0me gee-0h fenced algo-riddims right now to bl0ck that cr33p!
And to whoever is sending those sketchy print jobs, you need a looser f1tting pair ov skinny jeans, ‘cos all ur pants are cut off tha circulation 2 ur brain!

Actually, it’s great to see a junior CBCer get into the systemz around here!

Check out this .txt f1le of how to call y0r NorthStar phone using a Studer a80 tape machine, a slide projector, and some old wordPerfect codes. The x-Pansion paCK v2.134 triggers TBC mailbot Rasputin into conferencing thru 2 Denise Donlon’s local #X-tenShun, then using the House of Commons Translation service to publish a transcript via WebWriter! thaT should keep you busy until lunch or 3Ven l8r!
A schematic is aTTached, too. ur Mom might need it for tha d1sc1pl1nary hearing!
