So then my situation got even worse when I got a negative response from the East with the curt reply “In Russia, Arms embargoes YOU!” ---

So, I dropped by Fidel’s house, to say, “Yo, whassup?” ---

So, I went over to Papa Doc’s old house, since I knew there was always a good party there. ---

But they didn’t appreciate it when I burst in and said “Yo, whassup, Doc?” ---

But she turned me into a zombie slave, and sent me to work in the cane fields. ---

So, I decided to get revenge on that old [mambo](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mambo_%28Vodou%29). ---

But just as I was about to steal her Mojo, a flying frog jumped on my head! ---

So, long story short, I now have frog eggs lodged in my brain. ---

But I found some flies, the newly hatched frogs came out to eat them, we’ve bonded, and they’re the best pets ever. ---

So, my frogs (which are super-smart, due to having part of my brain) helped me hatch a plan. ---
