ob is referring to last year's April Fool's prank in the episode "Bludgeons & Dragons." Hah, hah! I love that name. It makes me giggle every time I read it.

Recently, while kickin' phat moves wicked-sick style around the internet, I successfully contacted my friend Angie. I haven't heard from her in ages. Amazingly enough, I was able to remember how to spell her alphabetically-complicated last name, and was able to find her. Even more so amazingly enough, she enlightened me to the fact that she still keeps up with LIPP. Once again, I've inadvertently infiltrated another office atmosphere. Observe:

"I have enjoyed your award-winning LIPP recently, as a matter of fact. I had to show my co-workers the depth of your insanity (rave reviews, belly laughs and high-fives all around)."

By "depth of [my] insanity," Angie is referring to a number of former websites that date far, far back into the experimental HTML days -- even before Refugees from Planet Cartridge was ever a twinkle in my eye.

One such site was called "Little Bastards." I planned on using various old-school AIM emoticons in their own little screwed-up skits. Each little emoticon had its own little personality. My persona favorite, however, was the sunglass-donning emoticon. He was a sure-fire bastard.

I used a copy-and-paste format, allowing readers to use the skits in their own AIM windows with friends. I planned on amassing a shitload of these updates.

It would've worked, too, had the site lasted longer than a week.
