Whirlwind, I hope you're collecting all this stuff for posterity. It's publishable.

Pinky's Tailing Box Presents: A Memorial Day 1999 Special: LOL Soldiers Hello Gentlemen, I'm Ms. Krugerrand, secretary to Mr. Bars of LORALtech. Irwin Welfare: Where is everybody else? Mr. Mars: There is no everybody else. We are the last investors in metals. I purchased Bartland Toys because of you gentlemen. Now let's talk about the future. Irwin: Gold down another $50--silver down 75 cents or more... BUMP Larry Spendsome: What Irwin means is we have great ideas for future toy sales... Irwin: I designed the Goldgone-yikes...to help kids learn from their investing mistakes. Mr. Bars: Did you say "learn"? Metals investors never learn. Larry: Mr. Mars, the future is here... "Major Blue Chip Hazard reporting for duty, Sir!" Mr. Bars: Blue Chips destroying the enemy--these freaky Goldgone-yikes. I like it. Use whatever technology from LORALtech Industries you need to make these toys real. Goodday gentlemen. @@ Irwin: Larry, this is wrong, this is really wrong. This is a total perversion of everything I designed the Goldgone-yikes to be... Larry: Gold's down another buck eighty today--welcome to the real world, Irwin. Ms. Krugerrand: Gentlemen, these are your security cards. These will give you unlimited access to all top secret level technology. And these are your passwords, please take a moment to memorize them right now. Irwin: But Miss Krugerrand, I can't read Chinese. @@ Driver Joe: I don't know kid--if I sign these toys over to your store and anything happens to them I'm canned. Kid: What are the toys made out of? Joe: Mostly gold, silver, and copper wiring. Kid: Then who'd miss them? Joe: What about your dad's policy of no war toys? Kid: No problem--he's a progressive Yuppie Hawk now. @@ Greetings...I am Archer, emissary of the Goldgone-yikes...I am Archer, emissary of the Goldgone-yikes...I am... Kid: I am Alan, now shut up. Archer: Greetings Alan now shut up. Alan: It's Alan-just Alan. Archer: . Beware, there will be no mercy. Alan: I know, I've been in metals for years. @@ Blue Chip Hazard: Commando Elite--fall in! Roll call! Nick Nitro, explosives. Bret Bazooka, projectiles. Link Static, communications, MetroPlus Division, reporting for duty, Sir! Major Hazard: Are you for real soldier?!! Link Static: No, I'm telephony. Blue Blue Chip Hazard: Look alive son, we'll need you to short out the metals. Men, we have not yet begun to destroy the Goldgone-yikes in their flight to safety. Give me liberty, or give me a put position against the Philidelphia Gold&Silver Index. Dam the Guadal Canal, LOL Team ahead! Search the area and secure new arms! Nick Nitro: Secure new arms? Why? Blue Chip Hazard: 6 years of Clinton Administration and you ask why soldier? $$ Kid: My dad's toystore is trashed! Oh am I in trouble. RING RING Christy: Alan, what happened to your shop? It looks like a bull went through it. Alan: No market bull here, but if my father finds out, he'll still put me in stocks. Christy: I'll help you clean up... ...Alan: Thanks for helping Christie. I guess I'll bike home. $$ Nick Nitro: Enemy spotted Sir! Am in pursuit! A-a-a-a-a-ahhhhhhhhh! Sir, the enemy has escaped--I'm wounded. Blue Chip Hazard: Hang tight soldier, we're on our way. Medic! Nick Nitro: I'm scared Sir. Blue Chip Hazard: Are you scared? We're all scared. With PE ratios at 36 you'd have to be crazy not to be scared. Okay men, we kidnap the female Goldgone-yikes ally. $$ Alan: What's this--a video... "Alan, I am safe and have not been harmed. I'm making this statement of my own free will and under no duress." (Background voice of Hazard: "Keep talking or we tranfer all of your assets to metals...") "I will be released safe and unharmed only if the following conditions are met: 1. Release the Goldgone-yikes scum." @@ Cannon Fodder Gwendy reporting for duty Sir! Blue Chip Hazard: Are you one of the Aden sisters? Commando Elite--ATTACK! @@ Christy: You saved me Alan, what do we do now? Alan: We counterattack. RING RING Irwin: Is an Alan Apathy here? We sold you some toys that might be defective. Larry: Irwin, Major Blue Chip Hazard's Commandos are attacking the house! Irwin: There is only one way to destroy them. Alan: What's that? Irwin: Short them severely enough and they'll crash.
