someone who was an evil and sadistic task-master who had way too much time on his hands as to develop cruel instruments and methods of torture. Maybe it was an ancestor of Mr. Robin Parsons, the cruel and oppressive Overlord of the Solar System, scourge of the stars, master of the meteors, commander of crappy cliches!

Humm sorry own those too, look outside, the boys should be there, any moment now, to retrive MY PROPERTY!

P.S. Is your daughter at home...I have the results from my legal team "Stikum Shaft & Rheeem"

No quick everyone, rise up and overthrow him! he may rule matter ALIVE but what can he do if he is dead... he can't duel us all at once!
 
  • #60
Don't forget, everyone. Possession is 9/10 of the law! He can 'own' anything he wants, but if we have control...he's dead meat! Evo - launch those missles. jimmy p - call Andy and get those tanks moving. All he has is a can of bubblegum to fight us with! Let's ROLL!
