Episode XXV

(Extra! Extra!)

Original Airdate -
July 19th, 2006


CPPres gets a job as a newspaper delivery boy. To help him do a good job, he goes out and buys an expensive bike whose only downside is that it has a flowery pink basket in the front. CPPres spends several minutes arguing with the store manager about how he does not want a bike with a pink basket, but the manager assures him it is the only one in stock. The next morning, CPPres wakes up before the crack of dawn to start his first day of work. He loads up his new bike with newspapers hot off the presses, takes off down the street towards his route, takes a wrong turn, and within minutes is in the bad part of town. A group of thugs appear and surround him, brandishing guns. CPPres is scared, but also a shrewd negotiator. He is able to trade "his life" for a bunch of newspapers, a new bike with a pink basket, and all the money in his wallet, including his Barnes and Noble membership card. The thugs let him go, and tell him never to return. And then, to help remind him, one of the thugs shoots CPPres in the foot.

A Message From C.P. On-Line
Greetings, loyal readership! Last week, due to some issues with our server, many of you were not able to see the exciting conclusion to The Trial of Bizarro Jerry, which probably caused your lives to suffer in ways we cannot even imagine. That's why we are happy to provide the following handy-dandy link to The Trial Of Bizarro Jerry - Part Two, as well as brand-new material that is both edgy and raw. Much like an open wound! Enjoy!

Your Friends At C.P. On-Line

Recent studies show that a percentage of the C.P. On-Line readership is female. That’s right! A percentage! Which is, let’s face it, way more than we were expecting. Once we realized that chicks were visiting our website, we knew that we would have to write the occasional piece that was specially tailored to fit the delicate female sensibilities. And so ladies, this one is for you. It’s a scientifically formulated quiz that will tell you which one of the C.P. On-Line staffers is your own personal Prince Charming. So grab a pen, answer truthfully, and prepare to find out the answer to that eternal question…
Who Is Your C.P. On-Line Dreamboat?

1. Physical appearance is the first thing you notice about a potential mate. You prefer a man who is…

A) Scrawny and pale

B) Unnaturally muscular, as if he ate Mr. Universe and three of the four runners-up

C) Ruggedly handsome, but possibly in his 60’s

D) Dressed like Johnny Depp in Pirates of the Caribbean, but with no pants

E) Feathered

2. A wise man who was quite good at stating the obvious once said, “You never get a second chance to make a first impression.” What sort of first date would make the most ideal impression on you?

A) A trip to the Burger King, with the costs split down the middle

B) Four hours at the gym doing intense cardio

C) Rappelling into an active volcano to find lost Viking treasure, while fighting off angry natives who want to have you for a wife

D) A romantic picnic in the Southern California mountains, then romantically lighting wildfires while holding hands

E) Sharing feed from the same plate, then walking over to the barn to try and mate with the hens

3. You’’re still on that first date, and it’s time for dinner. The candles are lit and the wine has been poured. In this situation, what would be your perfect meal?

A) A hamburger with cheese, but plain. Nothing but the meat and the cheese!

B) Mass-Builder protein shakes

C) Exotic fruits and spices from the Isles of Mystery

E) A split level barn with A/C and central heating

A) Forcefully saying “No!” to the guy that is trying to grope your bathing suit area

Scoring: Tally up your answers and see which letter you picked the most. For example, if you picked “B” twice, “C” once, and “E” seven times, then you picked the letter “E” the most. We seriously cannot think of a way to simplify this any more than that.

- I Picked “A” The Most: Your C.P. On-Line dreamboat is… CPPres!

Lucky you! You get to spend all your time listening to the same three stories over and over and over again, while having your life intruded on by the Keepin’ It Real camera crew. And the complaining! Boy, he does a lot of complaining. But then, if YOU start to complain about something, he’ll get all high and mighty and tell you to “chill out”. You’re not going to regret this at all!

- I Picked “B” The Most: Your C.P. On-Line dreamboat is… Bizarro Jerry!

An excellent choice! He is a webmaster, an artist, AND a freakish example of bodybuilding gone berserk. Some say he has a secret identity. Some say his secret identity is mild-mannered C.P. On-Line intern Steve, but that’s ridiculous, because even though Bizarro Jerry and Intern Steve are the same size and wear the exact same clothes and are never in the same room at the same time, Steve wears a pair of glasses with no lenses in them and Bizarro Jerry does not wear glasses at all.

- I Picked “C” The Most: Your C.P. On-Line dreamboat is… World-Famous Treasure-Hunter Zach Snyder!

Well done! Nothing could be more exciting than spending all your time with Zach Snyder. He travels the globe, looking for the most valuable artifacts the world has ever known. Or at least he used to, before he got hired at C.P. On-Line. Now he just spends all his time digging holes in the basement of the C.P. On-Line offices, looking for a buried treasure that we’re beginning to suspect does not actually exist. And the more he doesn’t find the treasure, the more irritable he is getting. You might have been better off having Zach Snyder as your dreamboat six months ago.

- I Picked “D” The Most: Your C.P. On-Line dreamboat is… Founder Matt!

God help you. You might want to go back and change your answers.

- I Picked “E” The Most: Your C.P. On-Line dreamboat is… The Chicken!

Brilliant selection! Don’t get all creeped out by the idea of dating The Chicken. There is nothing “fowl” about it at all! In fact, The Chicken seems to get more ladies than any of the other staffers at C.P. On-Line, combined. He’s got a certain James Bond quality that woman can’t seem to resist. You could do a lot worse. And try not to think too hard about the fact that the most appealing man at C.P. On-Line is the one that is not human.

Because It’s Not Like You’re Going To Throw Anything Away
Is your closet too cluttered? Are your filing cabinets too full? Are those stacks of old newspapers dating back to 1957 getting ready to collapse? We know how frustrating it is to run out of room and we’re here to help. We’re Under Construction Storage, the best place in town to store your stuff, or at least we will be once we’re done building.

Under Construction Storage strives to be America’s storage leader with over 1,500 locations nationwide, but we’re still working on finishing up the first one. We’re getting pretty close. If you drive by the lot, you can see that the frame is up and the foundation has been poured. There have been some problems with the contractor, although that should be worked out sooner or later. As soon as we’re open, though, you’re definitely going to want to make us your first choice for storing your valuable possessions.

At Under Construction Storage, our self-storage units range in size from approximately 25 square feet to nearly 300 square feet, according to the blueprints I’m looking at right now. We’ll even have special climate-controlled units to help protect your most sensitive belongings. But probably not right at first. The parts for the climate-controlled units come from overseas and they’ve been tied up in customs for the better part of a month. For a while, we were planning on providing computerized gates that would only allow access to authorized people, but the construction delays have caused our costs to spiral out of control. Still, we meant to do it, which is more than you can say for some other storage companies, including some that are currently open for business.

The fact is, you’ve got a lot of stuff and nowhere to put it. Why not put it at Under Construction Storage? Because we’re still under construction, you say? Well, yeah. That is a pretty good point. But it’s really the only negative. Why not look at all the positives? Great prices. Excellent customer service. Clean, well-lighted facilities. All those things could potentially await you at Under Construction Storage at our soon-to-be-completed site, two miles down the unpaved road, between the abandoned warehouse and the vacant lot. Preorder today, so you can be sure to have a unit reserved once we have our Grand Opening, sometime between October 2006 and January 2009!
