Mmmmmmm, Orange Crush in a bottle, yum. The grape version was just too cloying.
Tang was originally invented for use on space flights. Look it up, I dare you. We need to start maketing a line of plush toys, fruit snacks, and kids beverages to convert them while they are young. Fram, Fram, Drop Bear Conspiracy! |

DocMortand:
No offense meant, but TANG was developed in the late 1960s or early 1970s as a byproduct of the U.S. space program. NASA was looking for a means of making sure that their astronauts didn't develop scurvy while on missions--in other words, trying to develop a space-efficient (no pun intended) way of getting each crewmember a full day's supply of Vitamin C--and whoever developed TANG won the contract. Somebody evidently decided that there was a civilian market for the stuff as well, because it was on store shelves before the APOLLO program ended. EDIT: Sorry, Jrayjoker. I didn't see your post. My bad. :( --Foreigner |

The big local soda/pop when I was growing up was called Towne Clubb. It had such spectacular flavors as "highlighter" lime, and "Oh-my-God-it-is-so-sweet-I-can't-feel-my-face" root beer.

Now that the invasion of my nation has been called off, I can make my legions stand down and come with suggestion on how to subjugate the rest of the world.
Cartoons and action figures are also a good idea. just look at what Turtles and Transformers did back in the days. Just make sure it is anime-like and the world will tumble! Release a half decent manga and Japan is ours right there! |

I will have a picture of a stuffed drop bear up with in moments, as soon as I have worked out how to do links and signed up to photo bucket...
Been meaning to do this for week, but training drop bears to sing harmonies is harder than it looks. |

Is the bear weighted with velcro hands and feet so you can stick it to things until the velcro gives out and it falls?

Sadly not, but when version two comes around (next time I visit the craftshop with money) I'll take it into account. maybe suckers. Of course version two will require me learning to sew or convinsing my gf to sew it for me...
not sure which will take longer. |

Or if you want a really quick and fast way, use superglue or duct tape.

I think it'd be best if it were reusable, however. Velcro has the disadvantage of only working on some materials. What about standard nails? You could push them through softer materials pretty easily, and if they're small enough tacks, they shouldn't hold forever.

Yeah, continue thinking that, young fool. :D My plattons recently won their soccer match against Arhus (by dropping of the goal onto the other players) and conquered the city afterwards with no casualties. Currently we're converting the young'n'sexy danish women. This make some time, but after it's finished our crusade will continue - and we will get you! |

Pah, a bad attempt to confuse the loyal Drop Bear followers. No pack of squirrels can stand against a platoon of Drop Bears. |

next thing you know, we'll have rabbits trying to copy our holy drop bears in the path of blood and gore... Oh wait, they've already done that in Holy Grail. ah well, they're still nothing compared to our holy drop bears.

Bah, all I gotta say in the drop bear vs. pack of squirrels debate is this:
*SQUISH* My danish advance has stalled around Viborg, but everything north of that is now part of the Great Drop Bear Nation. (I believe it was called Thump? Gah, I need to read through the thread again) |

But that is about the best pun I ever read. Please, tell me you really intended it and just did not want to get heckled. |

Don't quite get why you think that I was saying it was invented when I was a kid. Or why I would be offended. I tried it in the 80s, guys...the public version. *shakes head* |

DocMortand: I had *your* post confused with fistandantilus3.0's post on the previous page (46). (fistandantilus3.0) NO! TANG is this orange powder that was big in the early (correction mine) 90s that was mixed with water to make a TANGY orange drink. fistandantilus3.0: If you read this, no offense intended. I was explaining to DocMortand that I'd misremembered something. As I've said, my memory is not very good. Sorry for the Italics, folks. The browser doesn't seem to want me to place TWO quoted pieces in the same post. --Foreigner This post has been edited by Foreigner: Dec 2 2005, 12:30 AM |

Tang is wretched stuff. i've always preferred Kool-Aid, i think the advantage of Tang however, is that it's a no sugar added version, so that there only had to bone large canister of stuff and not 1 canister and lots and lots of packets.

Actually I have no idea why anyone would invade Denmark. Ok 'cept maybe Russia who wanted to dig it all away to make it easier for their Atlantic Fleet to get into the North Sea.
Denmark is already under the Banner of the Drop Bear, but you are welcome to use it as a training ground. Just pay the usual compensation for the people you kill. |

Compensation? They should be honored to lend their lives to the Drop Bear Conspiracy!

I'm proud to announce that my German Albino Ninja Drop Bears conquered the hightest danish mountain! After a bloody siege they had been able to deliver the final strike via Drop Launchers - and now we own the Mollehoj with his impressing height of 170,86 meters!
