## Waiting.avi

"Waiting.avi", is a mysterious, garbled, and incoherent cartoon dating from around the turn of the millennium. The cartoon has been known as waiting.avi because, one day, it was copied from the test tape and onto a DVD by a mysterious converter, sold at a thrift shop, and once it was watched, the person who watched it was so confused he reported it to authorities. The video was investigated, but nothing came of it. The only reason this is related to the Andrew Skinner story is because Impact Studios is the name of Andrew's animation studio. Most of the scenes in the episode were animated by Andrew at first, but then added upon to, upgraded, and finalized by Phillip. This studio also released the Ten Test Tapes, the second of which waiting is contained on and is the most famous of the ten tapes. It is suspected that this is one of Andrew's pre-Suicide Squidward projects. However, not much unlike his other projects, namely Suicide Squidward. Another local rumor is that he wrote the episode, and that it was inspired by his murderous actions, or that he edited the video.
