Mr. Burns: Did you say ... "Nuclear Spoils?" Hmmm. I sense a big profit coming. I just happen to have a Nuclear Power Plant! Where's my new assistant?
New Assistant: Sir, I'm right here. In back on you (.. choking on one of your farts)
Mr. Burns: Oh, there you are. What are you doing? Trying to hide from me again?
New Assistant: No sir. (cough) I was just walking the accountants to the door. You know... the guys from Arthur Anderson? (in a hushed voice ...) The guys Enron had doing their books?
Mr Burns: The door? Oh my, no! Call them back in here. In fact, call the front desk. Ask them to order some cookies delivered right away. And don't forget the free, complimentary water too. We can't have these guys sitting at their desk hungry. No, I want them hyped up on sugar.
Security Guard: A ... well ... they're gone.
Mr. Burns: DAMN! WHen the sugarran out and they finally fall asleep at their desks I was going to change the books - just alittle - to look much better than it really is. It worked with the EPA guys. Haven't heard a peep from them in weeks about any kinds of pollution. I still have to do something about that idiot who's from Texas. He keeps nosing around here asking questions about profits and loss. Keeps saying something about the spoils of war.
Mr. Burns: (mumbling to self ...) Thinks he can muscle in on my nuclear profits? Well, we'll see about that. hehehehehe.
New Assistant: (turning shades of green) Sir? Did you just fart again? you know? Silent but Deadly? (Gasp. Cough)
Mr. Burns: Hmmm, Yes. Yes I did. Can't you tell? I'm happy. Happy as a blue toilet bowl tablet in a sparkling new commode, and as relaxed as an ex-President committing treason. Now, I need you to get the scientist who developed these "nuclear spoils" on the phone. Pronto.
New Assistant: (tapping his PDA for the telephone # of the comic book store in Springfield....) Ahhh. here it is sir! Shall I call him?
Mr. Burns: Oh, give me that .... (hits "dial")
Mr. Burns: By the way, are there any more nachos leftover from lunch? I'm sensing some more brain farts coming on.

Merry Christmas Eric.

Miss Bunny, open my Christmas present to you. Don't be fooled by the A.C.M.E. box. I reused it from one of the ol' coyote's failed attempts to booby trap me. Inside you will find a mask especially designed to keep you safe from any gas that Mr. Burns might create, produce, let loose, or release.

Note the soft blue straps to fit over your ears.

Merry Christmas!

meep meep

[ODWO]

..... so stay tuned, same bat time, same bat channel!!!

Off topic: I loved that show. The original Batman TV series, that is. Hearing the music in my head now. (No, not Pink Floyd lyrics ... the Batman tune)

Merry Christmas to all.

[Elijah S]

Merry Christmas Eric.

Yes - Merry Christmas, Butters... and to all of you a joyful holiday season!

By the way - I've decided to give myself a Christmas gift... ummm....27,471...no 27 Billion 471 points!...yeah...that's more like it! Smack that, Butters!

Also, I hear through the cartoon grapevine that Speedy is about to take Italy, thus ending our invasion of Europe... Next stop, North America... and there will be blood. -Oh yes, there will be blood!

Now, I'm off to have some ham and pie!

Thank you so much for the gift R.R. However, there's a certain gas the he emits that will penetrate any gas mask I also have gifts for everyone. Where the instructions say "Open, Pull Pin. and Hold Tightly In Hand", It's a new game that sees who can hold theirs the longest!!! RoadRunner, I hand crafted your gift and it has no harmful effects. I think it will go lovely with your blue feathers!

WHAM! POOF! POW! Na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-Na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na...BATMANNNNN!

I just wanted to tell you all. I pretended to be asleep last night when Santa Claus came to bring my presents. I was peeking and when he bent over to place them under my tree, I saw "buttcrack" and I am rather certain that it was Eric Cartman's. Due to this knowledge, I cannot say what the present was that he left for me, because it had instructions on it that said "DO NOT TELL". I was really surprised, I tell you!

[RedBaron0]

I'm glad your math skill have improved to the point that Mr. Garrison may give you a D, Eric.

Merry Christmas to all, and to all... Chaos.(i.e. returns)

[MyTurnToWin]

That explains it Miss Bunny. I woke up and saw Santa stealing your present from under my "desert Christmas tree" (here in desert we use manzanita branches for our trees). I wondered why the jolly old elf would take my present but now I know it was that Eric guy!

Roadrunner grabs his cell phone and punches #7, the speed dial number for the Top Secret Development Department of A.C.M.E. "Hello, this is RR...... yes..... yes...... I'll hold..... hello.... no problem. I want to order a B.C.R. kit.... I know ..... meep meep. It is still in testing, yes yes yes. I have a test subject for you. His name is Eric Cartman."

You keep calling A.C.M.E. and I will continue to zero-in on Mr. Burns' rather genius inventions. I have him distracted with "Batman" at the moment. My plan is working brilliantly! I will soon know how to create the big mushroom cloud!

Okay - so I might've taken a present or two. So? What's your point?
But I did leave a little something for Lola that turned her silver stripes into gold.
Merry Christmas Ms. Bunny!

Good game Speedy, a well-deserved win! Congrats

[Suzy1]

Once again, thanks for such a great tournament Cartman (Elijah S) I have thoroughly enjoyed it. It seems others are sorta copying it now, with similar tournaments, which I think is a positive thing. I look forward to these games coming up. I am definitely outta my comfort zone. Unfamiliar territories and no burrows! And my gift had nothing to do with me posting this..This truly has been the best tournament I have played in. Good luck in the next round, Toons! Watch out for all the secret weopons...he he he Lola
