hat is a Nicktoon? A Nicktoon will deposit itself into your inbox right about the time your boss is looking over your shoulder with a performance review. A Nicktoon is about eight to ten K, or maybe longer if your internet service makes you pay by the byte especially. And sometimes when you've been away for awhile on vacation or sick or something and you're really looking forward to catching up on all the posts, a Nicktoon will be sitting there, happy and smiling and bloating over the edges of its belt and using up all the room in your inbox so that nothing else comes through and Brad gets those "INBOX FULL" bounce messages and you're not on the list anymore. And maybe, just maybe, if you're a newbie and inadvertantly do something that you think is stupid, everybody else on the list will pat your back, tell you it's okay and don't worry about it and then maybe they'll offer you a twinkie and suddenly all's right with the world, and then the next Nicktoon chapter comes out and you're in it, doing that stupid thing again for posterity and everybody laughs. And, at night, when you're all alone and the cow on the TV exploded or maybe it was a penguin, it's hard to tell now that it exploded, and your CD-ROM and your Sound Blaster aren't speaking to each other again and you've just accidentally low-level-formatted your hard drive because you only speak Navajo and you can't tell the difference between "A" and "C," a Nicktoon can appear in your Outbox this time, and it can say "Hey, it'll be fine; okay, maybe not fine, but acceptable; well, 'acceptable' may be too strong a word, but you can always blame it on AOL." We all need Nicktoons, especially Indians, and you know that a really good chapter just came out because you didn't get it, and then you have to ask Torka the Cybrarian for a copy and you screw up the post and accidentally send it to alt.flame and you get spammed big time, but it's okay because Torka sends it to you anyway and it wasn't that good and then two weeks later in the next chapter somebody with your name does that same stupid thing with the post.
