Kermit
Krab
was dead.
His absence filled the AFT-S Irregulars
with the creamy filling of Sadness,
and though we tried to laugh and
joke our way back to the the iced frosting of Happiness,
there were empty places in our
souls which not even the Bunny Sidecars on our Anti-Voyager Zombies could
fill.
Excuse me, I haven't had lunch
yet.
So, we tried to bring him back to life.

OKAY KIDS, IT'S TIME FOR A NEW CONTEST!
Like the last contest, the Grand Prize of this contest is
A WEEK IN TRENTON NEW JERSEY!! ALL EXPENSES PAID!!
(Second prize is two weeks.)
Here's the contest:
See what kind of clever ASCII image you can create incorporating the
following into your design:
oo
---
\ 1
z(k)= > ---
/ k^x
---
k=1
Bonus points awarded if you are able to resurrect Kermit Krab!
Special notice should made of the Infinity symbol at the top. I'm sure
this means something important, but I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT IT IS!!!
All entries should be postmarked by 12-31-1997 and include the UPC symbol
from the box which held your version of the Internet. NO UPC SYMBOLS FROM
BOXES HOLDING HAPPYNET ARE ALLOWED! THERE AIN'T NO KIBOLOGY GOING ON HERE!
Photocopies are acceptable, as long as they are printed on blue paper in
red ink. I love that jazzy day-glo shimmering effect, even if it does give
me a headache.
Ready? setGO!!

You are responsible for all expenses and taxes. When you get there, send me your new address and I will send you a LIMITED SERIES COLLECTOR'S ITEM BUGS BUNNY POSTCARD (only 10,000,000 made!) with YOUR OWN NAME written in INK on the RIGHT HAND SIDE of the BACK OF THE CARD and an actual MESSAGE FROM CAPTAIN INFINITY written in CRAYON on the LEFT HAND SIDE of the BACK OF THE CARD. Truly a UNIQUE INDIVIDUAL ITEM THING! >I won nothing, I live there. Ah, but if the guards ever untie you from the bed, you may be able to escape and move to Cherry Hill! There is always Hope! She's living in the cell next to you, chewing her toenails off and dreaming about moving to an outhouse in Vermont and raising adopted Korean children with Elvis Presley. I have to go now. The half-empty bottle of Dr. Pepper on the floor beside my PC tower has a loose cap, and the carbonation sounds are speaking to me. I have to find a squirrel, staple him to the lower left corner of my monitor, and make him dance whenever I'm reading a serious message. ** Captain Infinity ...or is that "half-full" ?
Kermit the Riemann Zeta function
Krab was cute, there's no denying that.
But it just wasn't the same.
Days of mourning and Weeks of partying flew by...with little hope that
our beloved Kermit Krab would return to us.
But then...a glimmer of hope appeared
on the horizon! Another beloved fictional character died, and his
soul seemed to have migrated.

go straight to Kermit Krab: Rebirth)
