OFF TOPIC: What did Guido say?

[Roel Vanhout]

He says, in Dutch, literally translated: I am Guido van Rossum and I 
imitate Woody Woodpecker (and then makes the Woody sound). The 
background to this is that there was a program on Dutch television, 10 
or more years ago, that was about cartoons and there was a part where 
kids (between something like 4 and 8 years old) could imitate their 
favourite cartoon character. They usually introduced themselves by 
saying their name, who they were imitating, and then did the imitation. 
It was very popular at the time - even after hearing the 1000th bad 
imitation of Donald Duck, there was something to it. It was something of 
a running joke at the time to imitate cartoon characters, usually 
introduced by saying one's name, to make the connection with the tv 
program. Can't remember what the program was called though, anyone?

cheers,

roel
