FADE IN.

EXT. A ROAD

HELEN HUNT and FORUMS.RELICNEWS.COM are driving along in HELEN HUNT's car.

HELEN HUNT

Gosh, FORUMS.RELICNEWS.COM, there really is nothing like a Sunday afternoon drive, is there? Just you and me out on the road with the wind in our hair and not a care in the world. Why, at this moment I don't even care that I am single and alone.

HELEN HUNT nods agreeably.

HELEN HUNT

That's very true. Could life be any more perfect?

Suddenly, BILLY CRYSTAL runs out in front of them, causing HELEN HUNT to hurriedly slam on the brakes.

HELEN HUNT

(yelling)

Hey, buster. Why don't you watch where you're going! You could have really badly dented my car!!

BILLY CRYSTAL

I'm sorry, HELEN HUNT. I don't have time to explain my dangerous behaviour. I am in too much of a mysterious hurry.

He hurries off mysteriously.

HELEN HUNT

Well, FORUMS.RELICNEWS.COM. He's certainly very rude and mysterious. I will take an instant dislike to him.

CUT TO.

INT. A COCKTAIL PARTY

HELEN HUNT and FORUMS.RELICNEWS.COM are enjoying themselves at a cocktail party. HELEN HUNT is talking to a handsome man while FORUMS.RELICNEWS.COM is also making small talk with a member of the opposite sex.

MEMBER OF THE OPPOSITE SEX

Hahahahahahaha!! Oh, how frightfully witty. Shame on you, HELEN HUNT for not introducing me to FORUMS.RELICNEWS.COM sooner.

HELEN HUNT

I knew you two would get along famously. Now, why don't we all head out onto the dance floor and lambada?

Before they can do so, there is a tap on her shoulder. She whirls around to find BILLY CRYSTAL smiling charmingly.

BILLY CRYSTAL

Hello, HELEN HUNT. Perhaps you'd care to dance with me instead?

HELEN HUNT

No I most certainly would not, BILLY CRYSTAL! I doubt I would ever fall in love with you.

FORUMS.RELICNEWS.COM

This Forum is used to discuss technical computer topics, software, hardware and systems.

Everybody laughs.

BILLY CRYSTAL

... as the actor said to the bishop.

Everybody laughs even more.

HELEN HUNT

(eyelashes a-flutter)

Oh, BILLY CRYSTAL, how excitingly quick-witted you are. I think I shall fall in love with you. Who would have thought that would ever happen, what with my instant dislike of you when first we met?

FADE TO.

INT. HELEN HUNT's BEDROOM.

HELEN HUNT is on the phone to FORUMS.RELICNEWS.COM.

HELEN HUNT

Oh... FORUMS.RELICNEWS.COM, can it really be only a week since I met BILLY CRYSTAL? I am so very deeply in love with him. Do you know what he said to me last night?

FORUMS.RELICNEWS.COM

Want to build a computer and get advice, tweak it, or have a system glitch?

HELEN HUNT

(nodding)

Exactly. (sighs) He's such a romantic.

Her phone beeps.

HELEN HUNT

(continued)

That's him on Call Waiting! Gotta go. Thanks for listening FORUMS.RELICNEWS.COM. Wish me luck.

FORUMS.RELICNEWS.COM

Please be aware of potential spoilers when using this forum.

HELEN HUNT

Well, I'm not sure that's particularly lucky...

CUT TO.

EXT. A SHOOTING RANGE

HELEN HUNT is shooting angrily, while FORUMS.RELICNEWS.COM listens to what she has to say.

HELEN HUNT

And then I find out that BILLY CRYSTAL poisoned my dog! I can't believe I fell in love with him.

She shoots some more.

FORUMS.RELICNEWS.COM

Learn all the tricks from the pros - Contains a sub forum archiving the best strategies.

HELEN HUNT

Yes, you said that from the very beginning, didn't you? Oh, if only I'd listened to you, FORUMS.RELICNEWS.COM.

She shoots angrily again. BILLY CRYSTAL comes running up.

BILLY CRYSTAL

I must talk to you, HELEN HUNT. I can explain.

HELEN HUNT

(to FORUMS.RELICNEWS.COM)

FORUMS.RELICNEWS.COM, please tell BILLY CRYSTAL that I am not talking to him. My heart is far too broken.

FORUMS.RELICNEWS.COM

(to BILLY CRYSTAL)

Got a question on a potential topic or see an issue with a present one?

BILLY CRYSTAL

Is that really how you feel, HELEN HUNT?

HELEN HUNT nods.

BILLY CRYSTAL

Then I have no choice but to take that transfer to Nigeria.

He leaves.

CUT TO.

INT. A BUSY AIRPORT

THE NEXT DAY

BILLY CRYSTAL is preparing to leave forever.

CUT TO.

INT. A TAXI

HELEN HUNT

Hurry, TAXI DRIVER. BILLY CRYSTAL is about to get on a plane and leave forever and I've just realised that it is because of a ghastly misunderstanding.

TAXI DRIVER

Sorry, HELEN HUNT, but we are in a traffic jam that has dramatically sprung up in order to create dramatic tension.

FORUMS.RELICNEWS.COM suddenly climbs on top of the roof of the taxi.

FORUMS.RELICNEWS.COM

(yelling)

Fansite listings, community demographic info, and thread archives can all be found in here.

The other cars, hearing what FORUMS.RELICNEWS.COM has to say, suddenly all pull over and let the taxi through. It races to the airport just in time.

HELEN HUNT

(yelling)

BILLY CRYSTAL! BILLY CRYSTAL!! Don't go! I understand now that it was all a ghastly misunderstanding.

BILLY CRYSTAL

Okay. I won't go.

He doesn't go.

HELEN HUNT

I love you, BILLY CRYSTAL.

BILLY CRYSTAL

I love you, HELEN HUNT.

Why the hell can't I find the shoutbox? It seems non-existent.

Anyway quite funny.

Shoutbox is up to your left using the Homeworld skin: text link.
using the default skin...at the very bottom
using purplehaze...to your right...in menu bottom
using Relic NSP3...cant find it

using IC skin:
http://www.heclid.net/images/IC-shout.jpg
upper left icon in that linkfield.
Similar to the :argue: smilie

The link to Shoutbox, where it exists, is only available on Forum Entrance/Main page on all skins except IC where it is available from top menu at all time, I think.

As long as you keep the link to the shoutbox, I believe it remains in all skins, irrelevant of whether or not it is displayed by that skin.

[edit: sorry, no it doesn't, ignore me]
