It's a device used to indicate possession :) The "signal alteration"
repesents the demonic influence of the evil Freddy Frypp taking over
poor Poppa Chubby, or the late Saint Frypp speaking through a medium to
his loyal followers, or the sadly-deranged Poppa Chubby _thinking_ he's
possessed by Freddy... :)

But it's basically someone speaking through Poppa, be it a deceased Elf
or Chubby's "dark side". ISTR Brimstone (a rather nasty spirit) and
Marksanspensah having a similar duet going on when I joined the list.
