That's it. (in a dodgy Italian-American accent) You have dishonoured my family for long enough.

Time to send "the boys" to rearrange your body parts.

You may have noticed, Jimmy, that it wasn't me who said that this time.

Rearrange his body parts? You're a sick, twisted individual. :rolleyes:

Don't worry Sandra, they scare me too.
But then...



Chaos. Disorder. Widespread panic. My work is done here.

Right, so far:

The Bob was sent by Jimmy P to put a horses head in Photon's bed. Photon stayed up al night to clean his gun. Jimmy P's head was found in Artman's bed, put there by Photon. Artman was scared and fused with Jimmy P. Jimmy P then had revenge by sending 'the boys' (dodgy Italian-American accent) as his family was dishonoured and he send them to Photon's house to "rearrange his body parts." Photon has now got a dog called Rathma, who is ready to get Jimmy P and Artman combine.

That is the story so far, I think. :biggrin:
