People, I'm willing to bet this won't get on 'Futurama'. Fry stopped by last week, looking for an interview with Robert DeMartini, the maker of the Futurama Outlet. He wasn't home, so he came to my house. Here's the transcript of the interview:
Fry- Hi,Aaron. Do you know where DeMartini lives?
Aaron- No.
F- OK, you'll do. How did 'Howcumzit?!' get started?
A- Well, after watching every episode for the 27th time, I started looking at Futurama sites for fun. I found a really good one...
F- The Outlet.
A- Exactly. After voting 'Futurama' in the Emmy voting a lot more than 27 times...
F- That brings me to another question. Why do you use the number 27 a lot?
A- Hey, If it's good enough for 'Weird Al' Yankovic, it's good enough for me.
F- OK. As you were saying?
A- Anyway, after voting 'Futurama' a lot, I found the Editorials section. After looking at the various rantings of other people, I realized that I had some rantings of my own.
F- Like 'DIE PIKACHU DIE'?
A- And more!
F- Thus, the birth of 'Howcumzit?!'
A- And almost the death.
F- Why is that?
A- You see, I never planned to write more than one 'Howcumzit?!' However, DeMartini profiled it in an update, so I figured, 'Aaron, this could be the start of something.'
F- So you made more.
A- Yep. And when I found that you could get to Part Deux directly from the home page...
F- Hold it, Aaron. Why didn't you plan to make more?
A-I never figured that it would get this kind of response. Maybe one e-mail if I was lucky. I didn't even THINK about 'Re:Howcumzit?!'
F- Just today, I saw someone name you a 'comedic genius'.
A- Spiffy?
F- Yea, him. Thanks.
A- Well, I don't think that the right term is 'comedic genius'. I think the phrase he's looking for is 'brain damage'. Ha ha! Booger.
F- So we have people like Spiffy to thank?
A- Him and Robert DeMartini. Without his profiling the original, I never would have written more.
F- Next subject: Deathmatches. Why that for a crossover, instead of the Simpsons?
A- Well, you got me. There is only one show better than Futurama, and that's it. MTV Celebrity Deathmatch. By the way, that's what my 'pen name', mtvcdm, stands for.
F- I did not know that. Anyway, why else?
A- I looked at the Fanscripts, too. When I first wrote 'Simpons VS. Futurama', my standards were put so high by Futurama that I thought, 'I can do better than that.'
F- So you kill me off immediately.
A- And Flanders, to give people an idea of what a Deathmatch is.
F- Killing people.
A- Amen.
F- Last question. Why did you have PIkachu and yourself in a match with me?
A- Me:shameless self-promotion. Pikachu:So I can kill the bastard.
F- Well, thanks for your time, Aaron. People, remember to read 'Howcumzit?!' and any Deathmatches.
A- good Fight, good night. Ha ha, booger.
F- You already said that.
A- Sorry.
