**Stiletto** , you should know that I am prepared for every eventuality. 😃 That said, we have gobs of flea spray in this car. So… with a simple spraying, and the magical redirection poewrs I have, the dead fleas are now all over you.

Wait… I think I found something from the food fight thread that **ResIpsaLoquitor** started. Ah yes, here are ALL the ingredients (and I do mean ALL)… _tosses jars of foul substances into the other car_

As for **kniz** and **boogers mcgee** , everyone have at them! Why? Just because we want to… oh, and because they vilified the fun we’re having. **Mudshark** , I think you’d best get out of the way.

**ems** , then there’s only one thing to do in that case.

:takes off socks, squirts the contents of a vial of liquid in them, and lets fly at the other car, having the socks land squarely in **ems** ’ lap:

I’m going to show this vial to the passengers in my car… “Instant Revivification.” Yeah, that’s the ticket! Those fleas will be alive sooner than you can say “Jack Robinson” **AND** they will stay in the general vicinity of your car, and your car only.

</div>

Now, we can’t have that. _grabs **Flamsterette** ’s socks out of **ems** ’ lap, and tosses them back behind the car onto the bodies of **boogers\_mcgee** and **kniz** _

Hopefully, there’s enough _Instant Revivification_ potion left for them. I can’t imagine it would take the whole bottle for a bunch of fleas. And that way, they’ll get lots of fleas, too. 😃 I mean, vilification of our fun does deserve _some_ retribution. Just maybe not being run down by a Jag.

Okay, **JBERGES** …I’m driving now. _hops into the driver’s seat, shifts into first gear, and peels out_ Um, everybody hold on. We’re gonna go get us some bumper. 😃

[sub]Somebody wanna get the shop vac out, and clean up some of that food fight mess?[/sub]

You’re doing _WHAT_ with a bottle of Instant Revivification? No, no, nooooooo! That stuff can be used to… **Damn**! It’s gone now. :smack:

_ **JCoM** crawls onto **ozonebaby’s** lap and assumes fetal position, moaning about opportunities missed because a bottle of Instant Revivification was wasted on a bunch of fleas and two party poopers._

Oh, well.

**Ring, ringggg.** Hello? Hello? Earth to **ozonebaby** ; Come in, please?

O-baby, you are in the seat of one of your two Jaguar cars. I’m coiled up in your lap sleeping, the drivers of said cars are playing bumper tag, and YOU’RE supposed to be shooting bottle rockets at the other car!

No wonder we’re losin’ ! Get with it!! Shoot some rockets and/or throw some disgusting junk their way. Alternatively, you could try waking me up in some fashion that’s more acceptable than “No Doze” pills. Or somethin’ ! 😉

By golly, I do believe **Libertarian** got right into the swing of things here!  
Lib, ol’ buddy: Wanna’ help **Flamsterette\_X** drive?

**JBERGES** and **John Carter of Mars** : Geez, will you two relax?!? My capacious pockets can hold a whole lot more than you think. Here’s some more “Instant Revivification” potion for whatever you wanted to use it for, **John**. Now quit whining.

Well, well. What do I have here? [sub]Why, it’s a transmogrifier straight from the factory… heh heh.[/sub] :points transmogrifier ray at **Libertarian** , transforming him into a good ol’ fire-breathing dragon:

Don’t worry, **Lib** … it’ll transform you right back into yourself! Just breathe fire on those people in the other car for now, and you’ll be all right.

Oh, and as for **Speaker** : next I see him in chat, I’ll see what I can do about dragging him back to this thread. Maybe that’ll happen this weekend, I’m not sure.
