[MW STEPS UP to the podium at an outdoor amphitheater reminiscent of the Coliseum.]
MW: Howdy there, loyal Jareth’s Realm viewers.
[MW LOOKS around. SOUND of crickets chirping.]
MW: Apparently all my fans are invisible. Anyway, folks, we’ve got some great new material in the works. I’m right now editing a fan’s interpretation of Jareth as psychologist, so watch for an interesting essay on that soon.
[SOUND of crickets chirping grows fainter as MW PAUSES again.]
MW: Plus I have some awesome fan art of Jareth coming up! The artist,
, worked with me for over a year to get it just right!
[MW GESTURES dramatically. NO more crickets CHIRPING.]
MW: It’s really sexy. He’s lounging in a window with a smirk on his face and you can see a glimpse of his Area.
[MW WAITS for audience response. CRICKETS have clearly gone back under their grass blades to listen to something more interesting, like a rebroadcast of Senate subcommittee hearings on welfare reform.]
MW: Screw this. I’m gonna go sing Video Killed The Radio Star off-key for the 478th time in a row.
[MW WALKS off the stage.]

Everyone is trying to get in to watch (Bill) Clinton speak to the Harvard graduating class.
I noticed Jareth’s Realm has disappeared. 🙁
