I would love to have the message on George's answering machine (I'm not home) in .wav format or mp3 or something. Please someone find it and post the address.

you may also email me at [email]

No, please don't. Select one of the binaries newsgroups, post it there if you wish, then post a message here saying where you put it.

I don't want to start a "You don't OWN the Internet!" thread here (Jeez, it lasted for months in the SouthPark group). Some NG's were designed to allow for tremendous files, some weren't. This one wasn't.

Leave it at that. (Sorry for the abruptness.) [email] (Hammer nail here--> <-- for a new monitor.)

Well, to be quite honest, your message takes up just as much room in my browser as the binary that was requested. I don't understand why people have such a big problem scrolling right past something they don't want to read.

Just a thought...

Because some browsers require you to download the whole thing before you know what it is. A 1k text post cannot compare to a 200k .wav file. a.t.s was designed as a text only newsgroup and does not have the bandwidth necessary for very large files. Netiquette says post it to an alt.binaries group and reference it with a post here.

Or better yet, e-mail it to the person who requests it, or give the URL if it already exists on the Web. [email] (Hammer nail here--> <-- for a new monitor.)

Ok, I've already mailed it to 5 people so I'll post it in alt.binaries.sounds.tv

i am trying to find the episode in which george put on an announcement on his answering machine that was a spoof on the theme from "The Greatest American Hero" (believe it or not, george is not at home....). I have it on one of my tapes, but none of the write-ups mention this message. I think it was from the seventh season, but i could be wrong. If you remember the episode, please respond.

thanks, dean.

The lyrics to George's answering machine message are:

Believe it or not, George isn't at home. Please leave a message at the beep. I must be out, or I'd pick up the phone. Where could I be? Believe it or not, it's just me.

The lyrics to the theme song from "Greatest American Hero" are:

Believe it or not, I'm walking on air. I never knew I could feel so free. Flying away on a wing and a prayer. Who could it be? Believe it or not, it's just me.

correction:
	the last line goes-
						believe it or not, i'm not home.

The episode is no. 149, "The Susie". Other things that happen are: -Kramer fills his freezer with his own blood -A bookie owes money to Jerry, who breaks his thumbs (!) -Elaine has an alter ego, Susie, at work -George gets dumped through Kramer
