**Flamsterette\_X** , turn that transmorgifier ray back on **Libertarian** , please. Change him into a Staunch Republican[sup]TM[/sup]. That’ll teach him to mess with us! Nice of you to return to the land of the living, **Speaker**. We’re gettin’ our tails whipped all over the neighborhood here, and all you’ve done is mess with **Lady Juliet’s** neck. Grab some bottle rockets and start shootin’ at the bad guys. **JBERGES** in particular is due for a good rocketeering. I’ll help as soon as **ozonebaby** does “that thing she does” 😉 with the bottle of “Instant Revivification”. ---

**John** , since I haven’t a clue what **Libertarian** does in Great Debates, that would hardly be fair. Unless, of course, you’re just commenting on his username, in which case… hmm. How’s about a flaming dragon with staunch republican tendencies? (if there could ever be such a thing) F\_X ---

**JBERGES** , your tactical diversions won’t work on me. In fact, my transmogrifier ray is about to turn you into a jellyfish! :BLAM!:[sub]“waving arms spastically,” indeed… that’ll teach him…[/sub] F\_X ---

_slams his foot down on the accelerator to change the range from the other car_ **JBERGES** , I’d duck if I was you. I saw what that thing did to **Libertarian** , and it was not pretty. _reaches into a black canvas bag, and pulls out a small black box which he slaps down onto the dashboard. It has a single red button_ Okay, here we go. I hope everybody’s wearing a seatbelt.! _slaps his hand down on the button. The car flickers oddly for a moment or two, then winks out of view_ Hey, **Flamsterette** , you can’t transmogrify what you can’t _see_. [sub]cloaking devices are your friend[/sub].🙂 I don’t think that thing works on anything but living creatures. She may be able to track us by waiting to see where the rockets [sub]and other ammunition[/sub] come from…but I’m gonna be driving rather …um…defensively. So fire away. 😃 ---

Gaaaaaaaah. They disappeared!!! Someone find some flour! Then if we hit 'em with it, we’ll be able to see them AND they’ll get all dirty!! BWAHAHAHAHA. ---

**Lady Juliet** , never fear! I have the invisibility antidote right here! Let’s see… if we splash paint, flour, and other substances all over the place, we ought to be able to see them. Besides, I was gifted with the ability to see what is not clearly discernable. Hahaha. F\_X ---

_There is a \ on the back of **Flamsterette** ’s Jag as **Stiletto** taps the bumper._ Tag. You’re it! And btw, **Lady Juliet** , the flour won’t work. It’ll get us all dirty…but you still won’t be able to see us. 😃 _slams on the brakes, spins out, and heads off another direction. A barrage of bottlerockets head toward **Flamsterette** ’s car from somewhere back behind it_ I’d duck if I was you. 🙂 \*There is a series of explosions off in another direction as another barrage of rockets heads in **ArchiveGuy** ’s direction. \* Yeah. We’re crazy. You got a problem with that? 😃 ---

Wait wait…I’m confused. Did **Flamsterette** hit me or not? Am I a jellyfish?! I can’t tell because I’m invisible!!! Well let’s try this test… Now, **Stiletto** , this may hurt just a little. ::Tries to shock **Stiletto** :: _SLAP!_ Nope…that was just my hand, I guess she missed. ::Fires bottle rockets:: Crazy? Who me? ---

Crazy us? Just because we are playing bumper tag in jags (that we borrowed), one car is invisible, people are beig transformed into fire breathing dragons, there were fleas everywhere, we are firing bottle rockets, I lost my underwear & gained some new ones, **Flammy** has some invisibility antidote, there was a small food fight and all this on a credit card we don’t know the owner of? I don’t think that justifies us as crazy? Having fun yes crazy…hhmmmmmmm naaaaaaaaaa ::Fires more bottle rockets at **Archive Guy** :: Bwahahahahahahaha! ---

Well, **JBERGES** , I did hit you. Be warned: I have plenty more bottle rockets in my arsenal of weapons. Hahaha. **Hastur** : simply blanking out the thread won’t do any good, you know. Of course, if you want to blot out the memories of it, then I guess you could get the memory-eraser thing from _Men in Black_ and use that instead of an eraser. F\_X ---
