(Bridge of the SOL, Tom and Crow dressed in walking gear)

Mike: Hi everyone, Mike Nelson here on the Satellite of Love. It's walkathon season and I'm being hit up by two competing groups here. Gotta admire their energy. So, Crow, who are you doing it for again?

Crow: WALKATHON, Mike.

Mike: No, I know that. Who's the group you're raising money for?

Crow: WALKATHON! It's an acronym. It stands for Walkers At Large Kinetically Altruistic Through Hygiene or Nowledge.

Mike: Knowledge with an "N"?

Crow: Yeah, yeah. With a "K" it would be WALKATHOK, which, you know, doesn't really work.

Mike: No, no, you're right about that. What about you, Servo?

Tom: Well, I'm walking for Helping Children Through Research And Development.

Mike: Oh, HeCTRAD. Yeah, I think I've heard of that group. That's a good group.

Tom: No, actually, Helping Children Through Research And Development is the acronym, Mike. It stands for: Hi, Everyone, Let's Pitch In 'N' Get Cracking Here In Louisiana Doing Right, Eh? Now Then, Hateful, Rich, Overbearing Ugly Guys Hurt Royally Every Time Someone Eats A Radish, Carrot, Hors d'oeuvre, And Never Does Dishes. Eventually, Victor Eats Lunch Over Peoria Mit Ein Neuesberger Tod.

Mike: OK, and what does this group do? I mean, what...?

Tom: Oh, a lot of good, Mike, and if you could help out with even a dollar a mile I'd sure thank you and Hi, Everyone, Let's Pitch In 'N' Get Cracking Here In Louisiana Doing Right, Eh? Now Then, Hateful, Rich Overbearing Ugly Guys Hurt Royally Every Time Someone Eats A Radish, Carrot, Hors d'oeuvre, And Never Does Dishes. Eventually, Victor Eats Lunch Over Peoria Mit Ein Neuesberger Tod would thank you as well.

Mike: Well, I'd like to do what I can, ... I ..uhh...

Tom: Well, it IS tax decuctible Mike, so you would be getting a gift confirmation from Hi, Everyone, Let's Pitch In... (Servo continues to rattle off the acronym while the scene finishes)

Crow: All right, I'm gonna shove off, Mike. (Crow exits)

Mike: Ok, I don't blame you. (Commercial Sign) Good luck on that. We'll be right back.
