He didn't exactly say, "Hi r.a.c.s.", but it was darn close.

I'm torn between thinking it was very clever, and thinking it was very
lame. The reference sailed over the heads of 99.99995 percent of "Sally

talking about 'reset buttons' for? What does that have to do with
anything?" (Frankly, even knowing the context, it isn't *that* funny.)

Anyone who plays a video game console knows the reset button, which is
the origin of the phrase.
