{Cut to a filmstrip frame of the HRWiki logo, with "2005 Homestar Runner Wiki" at the bottom. The frame is initially out of focus, but becomes focused partway through the voiceover.}
VOICEOVER: HRWiki is a definitely-done-out-of-boredom organization, dedicated to the manned transcribing of toons about dumb animal characters. {beep sound}
{Another frame comes up - a stylized drawing of The Field, as seen in the wiki's background. Various usernames scroll up the page.}
VOICEOVER: Our mission objective: to accompany 15-year-olds on a round trip journey... {beep}
{Another frame: a drawing of a mouse cursor flying past the Internet Explorer logo.}
VOICEOVER: ...to the closest reaches of the internet. {beep}
{Another frame: two nerds, one typing on a keyboard, the other saying "Transcribe ONE more!!"}
VOICEOVER: While each toon will last only a few minutes, the users, according to our... {beep}
{Another frame: a portrait of Albert Einstein, saying "Hiya!"}
VOICEOVER: ...vague understanding of the theory of relativity, will have spent an incredible... {beep}
{Another frame: three large clocks in space, with the caption "THREE O' DEMS". The slide is initially above center, then is adjusted.}
VOICEOVER: ...three hours transcribing it. And who is good enough at video games...
{Another frame: a photo of a TV screen with a joystick in front of it. On the screen is a typical 2-D one-on-one fighting game with "FIGHT!!!" written on it. The combatants are a hamburger and a ghost. The ghost has only 1/3 health.}

VOICEOVER: ...to have as many wacky adolecent girls in your IRC channel as possible.

{Another frame: Lapper's userpage.}
VOICEOVER: Hey, look! It's onboard rhetoric Harold "Lapp" Coopmore! Looks like he could use a grilled cheese sandwich.
{Another frame: a photo of a grilled cheese sandwich, with the caption Item 3b: "Grilled Cheese". Different music plays for a little bit, then, with a record-scratching noise, the previous music resumes and another frame is cued: two men, one with a flat-top haircut and the other with a ponytail, and headsets in front of a computer terminal. They're wearing horn-rimmed glasses and short-sleeved dress shirts; one has a pocket protector and several pens.}
VOICEOVER: Flat-tops and shirt sleeves are the order of the day at HRWiki user list. Why, Flight Engineer Elcool! You aren't smoking a smooth relaxing cigarette at all! {beep}
{Another frame: the same scene, but the man with the ponytail is smoking.}
VOICEOVER: That's better. And somebody get that man a cold one. {beep}
{Another frame: rows of Grape-Nuts robots.}
VOICEOVER: The flagship of HRWiki's 30-user fleet is the Proud Dotcommo.
{Another frame: It's dot com's userpage. There is a beam of golden light spotlighting the name.}
VOICEOVER: A wonder of modern HRWikery, the Proud Dotcommo was constructed entirely out of ninja skills and good grammar. When blastoff day finally arrives,
{Another frame: the IRC girls in silhouette with a large question mark.}
VOICEOVER: ...will you be among the wacky IRC-using girls to donate money to the HRWiki? And if not... {beep}
{Another frame: a tearful basset hound with the caption "How Come?"}
VOICEOVER: ...how come?
