   observes "In those days, hackers were actually getting their yucks

   Seems he had a rather hip (by the standards of the day) TV variety
   show. One of the best parts of the show was the recurring `cookie
   bear' sketch. In these sketches, a guy in a bear suit tried all
   sorts of tricks to get a cookie out of Williams. The sketches would
   always end with Williams shrieking (and I don't mean figuratively),
   `No cookies! Not now, not ever...NEVER!!!' And the bear would fall
   down.   Great stuff."
