Please Wait Here.
Okay, I doubt the overlap between HBO visitors and NPR listeners is really big, so you're gonna have to bear with me here. National Public Radio in the US has a program called 'Wait Wait Don't Tell Me' - it's a news quiz. If you call in, and take the quiz, and win, your prize is that NPR newscaster Carl Kasell (who has a pretty distinctive voice) will leave the message on your phone's answering machine. (You know, the one that says "we're not here right now, leave a message" - although you can have Carl say anything you want him to.) Why is this relevant to you, the HBO viewer? Because Tim Dadabo, the voice behind 343 Guilty Spark, has agreed to perform a similar service for the winner of the 343 Guilt O' Lantern contest. Yep, that's right - if you win, your answering machine could tell callers, in the inimitable voice of 343 Guilty Spark, how much of a genius you are... or how fascinating the lost call is. Or whatever you choose. An incredibly generous offer, in my opinion - so do your best! (Louis Wu 02:32:54 UTC)
