Now, here's something I've been thinking about:
Supposedly, the vampires have a global conspiracy, correct? Why can't the other HMHVV critters be included, or have conspiracies of their own? I mean, shoot, nobody suspects the drop bear... |

Best protection I've found against drop bears is not to leave the landrover, if you have too try to have an autogyro drone above your head at all times. The second version is a bit messy, but very effective.
OOC- Nice to get back in country and see this thread alive and well. Good job all. |

Their chief weapon is surprise... surprise and fear... fear and surprise. Their two weapons are fear and surprise... and ruthless efficiency. Their three main weapons are fear, surprise, and ruthless efficiency... and an almost fanatical devotion to the Eucalyptus tree.... Their four ... no... Amongst their weapons... Amongst their weaponry... are such elements as fear, surprise, ruthless efficiency... I'll have to post again... |

Am I the only one who read that and imagined a bunch of koalas in Spanish Inquisition garb dropping on some poor fool and shouting " Noone suspects the Drop Bears!" |

NOBODY expects a Drop Bear! Amongst their weaponry are such diverse elements as: fear, surprise, ruthless efficiency, an almost fanatical devotion to the eucalyptus tree, and nice red fur - Oh damn! |

Angelone: Nope. :) I thought about posting something to that effect as well, but I thought it was too ridiculous even for THIS thread. :P --Foreigner |

Are you guys completely ignoring Nikoli's posts, or just not reading the thread?
I think it is pretty clear you guys don't take the drop bear conspiricy threat seriously. You are out of the DBSC (Drop Bear Slayer Club) for sure. |

Using an autogyro drone will not protect you against those of the worldwide drop bear conspiracy who see your death being worth more than their lives. I would imagine that the impact of a good-sized drop bear into the rotors of the autogyro would most likely send it crashing down onto your head. I can only imagine the expressions on the faces of the DocWagon personnel sent to pick up the corpse from such an accident... |

Na, we have just run out of stake-wielding female blond KiAds. As soon as the next batch is delivered, we get to Koala-Hunting again. Meanwhile, we are hunting Grizzly and Kodial. The ones with a missile pack on the back. Birdy |

Remember that drink 'koala', form back inthe '80's? That's funding right there. Add that to your list Nikoli, well funded since the 1980's (well, meybe not well, heavne't seen those in a while). Makes me wonder what the secret ingredient was.

It's so sad to see so many gamers miss a Monty Python paraphrase...

I'm ashamed that I missed it. I got it after Jrayjoker pointed it out if that's in any way redeeming.
Thanks Gyro, for pointing out a flaw in my defenses. I'm working on impoving them by making a giant motorized hamsterball. Until then wish me luck. |

That puts to mind a drop bear missile launcher. Not a Drop Bear's missile launcher, but a missile launcher that launches Drop Bears. "Okay, aim a little higher...okay put some more eucalyptus powder in the breech....a little higher...aim for the head...FIRE IN THE HOLE!" And with a mighty *poot* we have ballistic drop bears raining from the sky.... |

Oh I got the reference. But I didn't have anything else to add to it. I mean, yeah, it's funny and I got a laugh, but not all of us can really think of what else to say. :-P |

You could have said "Nobody expects Drop Bears!" again, so I could finish the reference.

Think they were just joking around can't find it in any of my books, including Critters and Paranormal Animals of Europe.
Now concentrate on the threat that noone, not even I, suspects... THE DROPBEARS! |
