Re: SDN Worlds 4 Commentary Thread IV
Hey guys. Been trying to think up of a good post that would serve to announce the beginning of the Tournament, but I felt that with my current level of talent it would fall flat. So I was thinking of outsourcing it to someone else. I just want the Tournament to start the way it deserves. Thoughts?

Re: SDN Worlds 4 Commentary Thread IV
Shroom actually wanted it to be more than just one action figure. A whole ARMY! Like SMALL SOLDIERS. He also wanted the action figures to realize that they couldn't hurt RAPEWEED by themselves alone. But if they all got together and jumped into the bathtub at the same time, the little batteries in them would be enough to shock/electrocute RAEPWEED.
But that was a bit too SRZ BIZNESS for me
EDIT: You might be able to guess who Rapeweed Rosenberg is. A Shroomyized version of Willow Rosenberg from Buffy. Since after all, a willow and rapeweed are different types of grasses...
And as Steve said:
"You named a female character "Rapeweed"....You, sir, are a walking case of Refuge in Audacity."

We could always genetically modify the ampliturs to remove their psychic abilities. The big question is whether they taste well on the dinner plate. Everything else is secondary.

Hrm, this is curious. An Anglian note has also been delivered to Shepistan inquiring as to whom they've declared war on. SIS is speculating it is merely an internal measure against the Amplitur that could expand to a prolonged search-and-exterminate campaign against any remnant Amplitur.
