[META] Does it all hold up? I'm interested in seeing if the story all adds up...Dana mentioned that Margaret sold her honey at Napa Valley Farmers Market. I'm currently contacting people who also sell items at the Farmers Market to see if they've ever seen Margaret selling her honey. This has no relavance to anything that important at the moment but I must find something to do to occupy my time until the next email.

Also try contacting all the vets in the Napa Valley area and ask if they've ever had any patients by the name of "Farnsworth"

Interesting...are you joking or being serious? Chances are they wouldn't give out that kind of information to just anyone. I'm also not sure how far Napa Valley is from where Dana or Margaret lives....and i don't want to run my phone bill up the wall by making these calls

I wholeheartedly agree with Freelance. I believe we should ask anyone who has ever gone into the UPS Store if they know what Twing means...

I suppose that might work. Or just look really wierd. Why not use a flyer? Offer a free donut or something for information on the box, whereabouts of Dana, or the meaning of life, the unvierse and everything. Err.. Twing.

Oh, c'mon -- I want the Avenger, and a double-strength team! Maybe with some hover-tanks...
Mmm, hover-tanks.

You can have the hover tanks, but I get the X-wing squadron. And none of you crappy Y-wing commanders (how can you call yourself a commander? "I'm slow, but I have bombs!") can come with me. However, I feel that our true enemy in all of this, and no one has really brought this up yet, is Farnsworth. Look at him, all smug on his pillow... ready to take over the world, I tell you! I think he will be our first target....

Hey, don't be knockin' the Y-Wing, baby. Some of us just have to be bold and brave and fly those things. And we get tailgunners.
Sometimes.
In certain iterations.

Can I take my Missile Boat then?
I've racked up more Y-Wing kills than hot dinners in that thing...

Wow, for a second, I was really in character, and I was really going to write a furious comeback to that Y-wing thing... lol... Ok, the Y-wings can come, but they have to bring silly bombs like vanilla pudding bombs, and silly putty bombs (Just think! We could drop a silly putty bomb on a town, pick it up, and move it over, and create a duplicate (although stretched out) copy of that town! Standard construction will be a thing of the past! Think of the money we'll save!

Letter to Tank8131:
We regret to inform you that your spec (admittedly a little off reality, but a valiant try) has died. It has been replaced by dork* humor concerning imaginary (yet cool) weapons of mass destruction and vehicles made by Kenner (remember Kenner?)... While we know no amount of compensation can replace your loss, please accept our deepest consolation, as well as this horse's head. We feel your pain. Sort of.
Sincerely,
Dorkmaster, cpip, Lutzie, Macavity, Freelance, and Killer-of-Lawyers
Oh yeah, that horse's head:
*no offense intended. Read my name, kids!
