I can’t stand it. I just can’t stand it. Any more of this and I’ll be needing psychiatric help. ---

But at least you got a rock. There was a little boy being dragged around by a group of girls tonight. I asked where his bag was and they said he wasn’t allowed sugar. What? Being hauled from house to house in a turtle costume and get bupkis? ---

[QUOTE=JThunder] I got a rock. Good grief. [/QUOTE] Hey, those are pretty rare, even if they don’t do too much damage. It’s about as hard to find as Jack, although you don’t get a badge for it. See, I can make cryptic in-jokes too ! ---

The World War One Flying Ace prepares himself for the dangerous duty of Dawn Patrol. Striding heroically towards his Sopwith Camel, he give a confident grin to the little French Girl, whose heart he has captured. ---

[QUOTE=Der Trihs] Hey, those are pretty rare, even if they don’t do too much damage. It’s about as hard to find as Jack, although you don’t get a badge for it. [/QUOTE] Harder. I’ve clicked on hundreds of doors, gotten all the badges, defeated Jack twice, and have over a dozen complete sets of salvage, but still no rock. Very frustrating, even if the rock is nearly useless. ---
