The elders are around and well. Rumours about deaths of some of them have been greatly exaggerated and are IE propaganda!

And on the other hand, the rumors of the deaths of other ones are extremely accurate, or would be but for the fact that they refer to the clones.

Good to hear, I had feared some had bravely fallen dealing with the elves. Give the word and I will lend the might of my droptankers who will smite our enemies with a righteous furor.

There's a line, "But their numbers have dropped..." I'm not sure how to take that.

Hah, foolish keebler, you fell for our disinformation campaign! While the fires destroyed the food of regular koalas, making them more willing to join our ranks, we made it appear we were slowly trying to extinguish said fires! And you fell for it! You fool, hahahahaha! Now our secret plan is guaranteed success!

Dear lord, this has got to be the longest running thread I have -EVER- seen. Infact I totally say that as a result, there really needs to be a whole shadowrun book specifically dedicated to the drop bear conspiracy. Or at the very least, a threats 3 book and an article about the dreaded drop bears.

Why if I had not stumbled across this thread. I too could have fallen vitcim to the dreaded drop bears!

I mean, just yesterday, I was walking in downtown Seattle. There'd been this thing on the newsa bout these wild creatuers breaking loose and, initailly I thought nothing of it, afterall I'm a runner! I can geek anything that looks at me crosseyed!...except for the drop bears. I'd never met one, but thankfully I had read this thread so knew what I had to do once I was finally confronted with the dreaded creatures!

Hang on.. I hear something...

Oh sweet.. no! NO! The eyes! Those baleful eyes! *thud* AAAARRRRGGGHHH

Do Dropbears perch in christmas trees?
Do Dropbears use small wrapped packages as bait for the unwary?
Do Dropbears make HoHoHo noises on the drop?
Do Dropbears wear red hats as disguise?

This just in!

Seattle residents are being warned to lock their doors, bar their windows, and start a fire in any chimney they may have. A recent shipment of Drop Bears ment for an animal testing lab has mysteriously been freed of their cages. These vampiric bears, have been sighted doning Santa suits and dropping down chimneys to attack the heads of the unweary.

Also in related news..

There is a drop bear above you..

Quit reading this to the viewers you iddiot!

RUN! NOW!

*drop bear lands on news anchor*

OH GOD! MY EYES! MY EYES! *screams and flails*

*Feed Cuts out*
*Notice pops up on screen*
We're sorry, but we appear to be experiencing technical difficulties. Please excuse us for the inconvinence. We will be returning you to your regularly sheduled programming as soon as the drop bears finish rampaging the city.

Not quite the entire thread, but I am getting there. It has ammused me greatly. There are, in the evil depths of this thread, things that just about made me bust a gut laughing my ass off at work.

FOrtunately there's practically no one here in the middle of the night or I'd get some very odd looks indeed :D

I declare my fanaticism to the Holy Cause of the Drop Bear. I only state that link has been shown to the Holy Brethren already. It may be in a new location but it is the same informational pic and text.Would be Brother (acolyte ) Kesslan has already stated he has NOT read the entire thread at least once. Whereas Most of the Commanders and all the Elders have gone through this Holy Document at least twice.

I submit myself to the Tribunal.

*seven hours and 4 cases mountain dew later*

I have just read the entire drop bear conspiracy for the first time in one sitting.....

*looks over shoulder at the huddled group of drop bears chewing on eucalyptus leaves from backyard*

They showed up maybe three hours into it, about the time when my stack of empty cans began to form a temple in my living room. I think they dropped down my chimney while I was lost in the ninety one pages of the Holy Thread of Thump.

The black spots and the spinning are starting to fade now....I feel as though I just completed an ordeal, the grade 1 initiation into the tradition of the almighty ninja drop bear totem.

*bows before temple in living room* :notworthy: :notworthy: :notworthy:

I understand...I understand the eucalyptation....oh Holy Drop Bear, I am your follower...

Congrats. People must surely celebrate such a feat of endurance and willpower ... even in the pursuit of a less-than-savory cause.

All rise for the National Anthem of the Holy Empire of Thump


Drop Bears, Drop Bears über alles,
Über alles in der Welt,
Wenn es stets zu Schutz und Trutze
Brüderlich zusammenhält,
Von der Maas bis an die Memel,
Von der Etsch bis an den Belt -
Drop Bears, Drop Bears über alles,
Über alles in der Welt.

Drop Bear Frauen, Drop Bear Treue,
Drop Bear Wein und Drop Bear Sang
Sollen in der Welt behalten
Ihren alten schönen Klang,
Uns zu edler Tat begeistern
Unser ganzes Leben lang.
Drop Bear Frauen, Drop Bear Treue,
Drop Bear Wein und Drop Bear Sang


No one suspects the Drop Bears
QUOTE (fistandantilus3.0 @ Oct 6 2005, 11:43 PM)
uhhh.... yeah.... I don't like Romstein either....

translation? my google-fu is lazy tonight.

Translation? It is the first two verses of Das Lied der Deutschen (aka Deutschland Uber Alles) with all referances to Germany replaced with "Drop Dears."

Drop Bears, Drop Bears above all
Above everything in the world
When, always, for protection and defense
Brothers stand together.
From the Maas to the Memel
From the Etsch to the Belt,
Drop Bears, Drop Bears above all
Above all in the world.

Drop Bear women, Drop Bear fidelity,
Drop Bear wine and Drop Bear song,
Shall retain, throughout the world,
Their old respected fame,
To inspire us to noble deeds
For the length of our lives.
Drop Bear women, Drop Bear fidelity,
Drop Bear wine and Drop Bear song.

Shamelessly copied and pasted from http://ingeb.org/Lieder/deutschl.html

Am I late for the Tribunal? I was busy subjugating the local populace and teaching them our anthem.
