Well, last night's game went poorly. I know where I screwed up, and will, hopefully. learn better.

But, I think I redeemed myself when everyone went, "That's it?" and started doing pre-emptive planning of their own stuff going on.

So, they framed a corporation responcible for this, and invested cash in one of their competetors.

Whereupon "Vic the Cabbie" gets a call from his Mob Connection going, "OMGWTFBBQ! The sky is falling, and I need you guys to do a job NOW!"

"OK."

"Go to this company, which is going bankrupt faster than Haley's Comet, and steal one of our personal items! I need you to steal Cow #42!"

"... ... ..."

"20,000 (IMG:style_emoticons/default/nuyen.gif) !!!"

"... OK."

Usually, I'd give a whole rundown of what happened, but hilarity ensued, and I'm going to now throw a question to the group to see if my idea was totally wack, or if you guys can come up with an even cooler reason as to why Cow #42 was important.

And, before you ask, "Is the cow magical?" was asked by someone that read "Knights of the Dinner Table", and Greg the Pixie Mage said, "No."
