Okay chuckleheads, listen up once again! If even one of ya sends away fer somethin' on the back of a box top in Mayfield of all goddamn places, yer as thick as a brick! I'm sure the cereal is, like, laced with hallucinogenic drugs or something, that will make ya wanna buy more, an' then suddenly yer broke an' ya have nothin' left but 500 Corn

You have a problem with eyepatches?~

[freakinblur]

I do when they're on the 6-year-old kid on the front of a Mayfield cereal box!

[resurrectinto]

You have a good point!

[legendschild]

But what if they really are gonna give our stuff back?

[freakinblur]

It'll probably be all screwed up again! They did that once before, ya know.

[legendschild]

Not that I really know, I kinda just got here a few days ago.

I don't think I'd be happy to see my bat broken or anything after it got here, though.

[freakinblur]

Trust me then kid, they pull shit like this ALL the time. Better get used ta it.

Bats 'r easy enough ta come by though, 'round here. Hell, I got like 10 of 'em myself! Ya need one?

[magicbloomers]

You think?

It's just that they're giving away Mr. Hats for only 10 box tops...I hate to think of Mr. Hat trapped in a cereal box!

[freakinblur]

Yeah, well, they say they got my old bat fer 5... it can't be fer real.

What's a Mr. Hat?

[magicbloomers]

He's my favorite trick!

Though I guess I'd need my hat back before he'll work.

[freakinblur]

Does it gotta be yer hat, or just any ol' hat?

[deaths_heritor]

. . . I admit I'm stumped as to the reasoning behind this. I doubt your scenario is plausible, however. Wasting our money is hardly one of their priorities.

[freakinblur]

Yeah, maybe not, I dunno. But it's a trick either way!

[deaths_heritor]

Almost certainly. There may be some things that are worth the risk, however.

[weaponsparked]

... Maybe we should test it before everyone inevitably goes off and does something stupid.

Round up a few of the tops, five or so, have someone try to send them in. See what happens. If it backfires, it's far less time wasted, and possibly far less dangerous.

[freakinblur]

Maybe that ain't a bad idea. Acorrdin' ta this box, my ol' bat's only 5 tops. We can give that a try.

[weaponsparked]

Go ahead. I'd bring you some, if I could. See if anyone else already has one they're willing to part with.

[freakinblur]

5 should be easy ta rustle up. But seriously, I'm expectin' whatever it we get back to be as screwed up like they were on tax day, I'm gonna be pretty pissed off.
