{Ductape is on his computer. He is playing Greebles, with about nine other computers on a network.}
DUCTAPE: {After pushing a block and squashing a Greeble} Whoa, total squash fest!
{Later, after crushing a Death Touch power-up, he starts touching all the Greebles. They all pass the level}
DUCTAPE: Awesome. I think I should check my e-mail, seeing if I got any messages.
{Ductape closes the Greebles program and opens up his inbox. The folling e-mail pops up.}
Dear Duck Duck Goose Blader, I think you should get a pet. A Dragon for an example? You know, it's extreme! -Spyrox6 (Not the purple dragon)
DUCTAPE: You are a bit late on the pet thing, because I have one. A young kid named Borismihalovitch, if you were here during the last e-mail. Bu you can see it, these are taped. However, a creepy exotic pet could be fun, like the kind you put in your own manga comic. But, not a dragon. Too big. It wouldn't fit in the house. but a baby dragon? Nah, still an inferno. How about... a hydra?
{Cut to a manga-comic style scene, depicting Ductape with a hydra. Everything Ductape says is said in a talk balloon.}
DUCTAPE: Hmm... A hydra is like a Greek Dragon, with more heads.
{More heads suddenly grow from the hydra. A Greek-style Strong Sad appears at the corner, tossing a spear.}
DUCTAPE: Maybe too many heads. I'll try something simpler. Like a...
{New scene, which now looks like it was done with markers. Ductape is now at what seems to be at the entrance of a random cavern. Next to him is a Gorgon.}
DUCTAPE: A Gorgon. Maybe it'll be okay if I gouge out the petrifying eyes, {Someone who looks like The Cheat comes in and instantly gets turned into a scone,} and defang the head snakes. {Homestar walks up, and a snake bites him. He collapses, fast asleep.} But that's a bit too much work. So, Spyro, will you like a...
{Another scene appears over the old one,in a flash-animated fashion. This one shows a huge monster in a forest eating a corpse, from flesh to bone, with Ductape nearby.}
DUCTAPE: A manticore? {Now, the Ductape image cowers in fear.} No, a manticore eats all kind of meat, and might eat me, or all the people in Free Country, USA. {Several people in Free Country USA show up, which is comprised of Coach Z, Bubs, Marzipan, and Pom Pom. They all get bite marks on them.} But how about this one?
{Now we show doctored movie footage with a giant snake in a giant sewer chamber. Ductape is wearing a cloak and some round glasses, with a scar on the forehead.}
DUCTAPE: A basilisk! Hatched from a chicken's egg beneath a toad! That's an extreme pet.
{Now, he starts spitting venom all over the place. Some of it hits Ductape.}
DUCTAPE: Ouch! That burns!
{Now, a phoenix drops in with a hat. Ductape pulls a samurai-type sword out, and skates off a makeshift ramp, onto the wall, and sticks it right through the top of its mouth. Cut back to the computer. Ductape is still writing comics.}
DUCTAPE: That's not going to work if I end up killing the pet. Or being in a sewer. Instead, what if it was a giant, animal-like banana?
{Now is a scene in Stan's banana farm. A giant banana is ravaging out of the place, while Stan is attempting to squirt herbicide at the banana with an old water gun. Ductape is riding it like a wild bull through a field.}
DUCTAPE: That would be sort-of fun. Especially if I could cause mondo destruction to someplace like Kalamazoo or Denver.
{As he says the names of the cities, a postcard advertising the city comes up, showing Ductape riding a giant banana, which is destroying the town with it's giant squashing feet and eye lasers.}
DUCTAPE: Heh. That's silly. Wait 'till I tell this story to the kids. As this e-mail is broughto a close, I'm going to eat some matzah. I wish Passover was over, which it will be, soon.
