Factoids about D.A. and PA announcements Sticky

The museum P.A. system is a combination of hand written lines by me (awash in 5 years of reading,listening to, watching everything D.A. I can find all day long). I tried to mimic his style of writing, make puns, hints, etc. 

All of this writing then gets run through text to speech generators with 9-ish different character actors I've worked out. They are as follows:

  1. Entry Voice Guy (he's the voice when you enter the museum on boot up)
  2. Snarky Lady who complains about everything (earth particles, "3lv1s" license plate and more)
  3. Super deep announcer voice (disaster area announcement)
  4. Soothing older man (story about the pens and fake universes)
  5. Drive thru bartender
  6. Drive thru customer robot lady
  7. Factoid reading lady
  8. Quiet Scottish guy
  9. Eddie the museum board computer (definitely not like the original entirely)

Any other voices you hear in the PA are actually in your head and you should seek out a physician... Not really, but the rest of the voices are alterations and audio effects done in audacity.

I could use lots of help with making up new funny announcements, references, jokes and factoids. If you have a new script or lines you want to have added please tell me which actors are in the scene and talking and what the lines are. I can handle the rest from there and put it in! 

As per usual try not to just steal whole chunks of the book, movies, etc., word for word. I know I did for the Vogon poetry but I mean... There's one D.A. written source of Vogon poetry I know of and that's it... Soooo.... Otherwise I'm grabbing from "And another thing" and that's divisive in the community. Soooo.... Anyways. Help wanted!
