Everyone had a slightly different idea of the exact wording. Here's a composite of all of them (and some from local people) all mashed together: This is Control This is the Control voice There is nothing wrong with your television set Do not attempt to adjust your television set Do not adjust your television set Do not attempt to adjust the picture Do not adjust the picture WE are controlling picture transmission WE are controlling the transmission WE are controlling transmission WE control the transmisson WE control the horizontal WE control the vertical WE can make the picture roll, or make it flutter WE can make the picture a soft-focus blur, or crystal-clear WE can change the focus from a soft blur to crystal clarity We can change the focus to a soft blur, or sharpen it to crystal clarity WE can move the focus in.... or out.... For the next 30 minutes, WE will control all that you see and hear. For the next 60 minutes sit quietly and WE will control all that you see and hear. For the next 60 minutes, WE will take you on a journey... For the next 60 minutes, YOU will participate in a great adventure... YOU are about to participate in an adventure... YOU are about to participate in a great adventure... YOU are about to be taken on a great adventure... YOU are about the experience the awe and mystery which will take you... YOU are about to experience the awe and mystery which reaches from the depths of the inner mind... YOU are about the experience the awe and mystery which reaches from the inner mind... from the inner mind... from the depths of the inner mind... from the inner reaches of the mind... to THE OUTER LIMITS. Whew! Thanks to everyone who responded! I had a lot of fun with these. Several people mentioned that O.L. is on the tele on Saturday afternoons at some unspecified time. - Glenn ----------------------------------------------------------------- gopher://quux.org/ conversion by John Goerzen of http://communication.ucsd.edu/A-News/ This Usenet Oldnews Archive article may be copied and distributed freely, provided: 1.
