More RealAudio stuff. Those of you who have been around since the days of Ralf's (aka Rail Gunn's) Curiosity Shop BBS may remember the infamous WeaselNet commercial made by Cleotis, Rail, and I think Homer & Dorothy Gale... I wasn't there, so Those Who Know can correct me.
But anyway, here's the commercial in all it's original Hi-Fi Stereo glory (541K), or in Lo-Fi Mono (108K).

I still have the master digital tape in my desk. I'd be glad to burn it to CD (for a small fee of course).
Hee hee...
REV IT UP!

Amazing. It still holds up after all these years. Cleo, you do marvelous work.

That was Rail's voice? Wait, I thought it was Cleo's. Now I'm gonna have to go play it again.

Dorothy Gail did the barfy monster truck pull voice. Rail did the nerdy 'call the curiosity shop' voice.
I was there. I saw it all. :-)

I was talking about the voice at the end. Didn't it just drop with testosterone?
Was I in there somewhere, too? Or did I just twiddle the knobs? I don't remember.

Well you're clearly the voice of the thoughtful "Are you tired of" guy.

It all happened one magical night at the KSBJ studios -- a christian radio station in Houston.
Cleo did most of it, using his Puke Radio voice. There was another guest DJ who just couldn't... puke... as good as Cleo.
To attain the nerdly boy-voice at the end, I slammed my testicles in a desk-drawer a few times. Anything for my art.
I also remember a massive tape-delay unit and a tiny 4mm DAT tape drive. Products of opposite ends of a decade.

Tape delays date back to the 40s... (basically as long as there has been magnetic tape)
Just FYI. :-)
The 'REV IT UP!' voice is dorothy after speeding the recording speed up.

Was that the night we all went back to my apartment, got plastered, and sang "We Are The Champions" till 4 in the morning?
Oh, wait... That was just a few days ago...
Nevermind.
