It would be neat if I could convince some office that I am trying to sell work-gloves and have this as part of the presentation with a full-on straight-face just so the employees could always have the camaraderie of how strange those bouncing hands were when the slide is talking about wavering a hammer on a site, affecting grave objects.

I was definitely going for a I-used-to-be-a-wizard-at-Print Shop-but-now-I-just-found-out-about-PowerPoint-in-Windows-95 feel with this one. I imagined someone just learning how to do some of the special effects in their presentation software and wanting to impress their boss with a presentation loaded with special effects using their just-released ad copy. Definitely role-playing a desperate, low-rung sales executive struggling to keep his last account alive.
I will check out Pipe and Drapes when I'm not at a computer with two hamster wheels standing in as a graphics processor.

Excellent spiel. The images
Excellent spiel. The images really helped to sell me on the concept of gloves!
