mmm.....oorrraaanggeee cruuuushhh.. "has 'ta be, has 'ta be!" Shasta Cola!

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.

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.

Well here it is...

I hope...

PLushie Drop Bear

We've had them over here for ages...

It worked HAHAHAHAHAH!!!!!! First time HAHAHAHAHA!!!!
*Ophis plunges into hysteria*

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.

Egads, first drop bears... but now squirrels?

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)

So you aren't an astronaut? How disappointing.

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!

Confused again.

Do I send the Holy Wrath of the Drop Bear Clerics against this Danish threat, or send them for there for soccer training?

The Holy Drop Bear Temple of Orktown awaits orders from Jray…

Against the Danish Heretic Legions!

If our Drop Bear Clerics are getting any soccer training also, it'll be fine.

The Legions of Kage got you all confused! There are no Heretics to the Course in Denmark .. well there is, but they are all used for Drop Practise. Turn your Wrath on the Nederlands or even France! Where do you think the Danish Legions get their training?

Brethren! I shall have to inform everyone that at Yankee candle co. (likely there's one at a local mall for y'all), they sell Eucalyptus scented candles. I kid you not. I was at the mall today for some christmas shopping. when I saw that, I was inspired and almost bursted out laughing in hideous maniacal laughter. That is the public service announcement of the evening. Thank you.

Drink Drop Beer. Have fun.

oppose Tang. On Principal. Go watch Boondock Saints. That is an order, not a suggestion. Pretty much for anyone really. If you've never seen it... go see it. If you have ... see it again. And follow the rule of thumb.

Always bring rope?

You got it

Well I have finished infiltrating Denmark and conquering where it suits me.

Impressions:
If there is a traitor here, then they're deep in a bolthole somewhere.
Danish women are niiiice.
For some reason, my Drop Bear Legions like to eat soccer balls. So soccer was not a successful venture.
Danishes are also niiiiice.
Drop Beer is universal.

*shrug*

On to Sweden!

Let's head over to Finnland first - their language is much more fun

The danishes are tasty and the his Holiness the Drop Bear Bishop is a big fan of soccer now. He’s implemented a policy where the winning team gets to eat the ball. Fabulous times in Denmark.

The Yankee Candle Co. is an evil scourge. They tempt with eucalyptus then sell pine, maple, and even the dreaded vanilla. For this reason I have decided to split my forces in half. Company #1 will drop on Finland to secure the sacred Sako factories. Company #2 will slaughter everyone at the Yankee Candle Co. and steal their precious eucalyptus candle recipes. No more vanilla shall come from the vile waxworks known as the Yankee Candle Co.

But keep the Eucalyptus scented candle recipes in full production!

*chuckle* Evil thought - one of my players has a farmhouse/compound in the middle of a forested region. I wonder if I could infest it with drop bears without her noticing...

So what? We are not the Soviet Union. *giggle*

Denmark was the nation who produced the most land-mines in the world until the mid-90s. Do tell me if your soccer crazed Drop Bears find any on the soccer field. (I have no idea who placed them there)

My drop bear swing combo will stay in Denmark as dragging mermaid statues is slowing them down.

As I get payed this week drop bear plushie phase two shall be enacted soon...

I vote we go for which ever part of scandanavia Ikea is from, I won't lots of cheap good quality easy to put together furniture with odd names.

That would be Sweden ...

ANyone know who if any bought up Ikea in 2050+?

I think someone is tried to do the same thing with chickens as we have been doing with Drop Bears
