This reminds me far too much of my lonely and depressed childhood.

I would really, really like to hear that story done as a This American Life-style radio piece.

Do your friends worry you?

Who should read it? David Sedaris?

No, a bad text-to-speech program, of course!

My friend and I had Dr. Sbaitso say "I wish my penis was as big as my ego" and it pronounced them "pen-is" and "eggo". We laughed.

We had some sort of voice-audio thing in the early 80s. When we tried to make it say "orgasm", it said "orgally".

We laughed ourselves sick.

Over and over and over.

Ah, X-entertainment. I love that guy.

Mike - we'd type "ee go" or "pee nus" (or some trial & error bunch of letters) to make it pronounce better. The Sounblaster/ Pro was a huge step up on the Ad lib. Rolands were too expensive and (mostly) only played midi. Always wanted a Gravis ultrasound - never did though, sadly.
