Youse guys can hoard air all you want. Me, I’m hoarding _space_! Soon you’ll have no where to put your whore air. Ha- **HA**! [sup]Feeling a little squeezed now? A little claustrophobic? Perhaps those on my good side might convince me to allow them a half-inch or so… no inches, however, as I’ve heard that those who get an inch are apt to take a mile! We can’t have that; soon I’d be left with no space at all, and that’s not good. [/sup] -Astroboy, Master of All Space ---

That’ll really throw them off the trail when they try investigating **Astroboy** ’s recent space theft. (No really… go check your hoardes. You’ll see that you’re out of space.) ---

If you’re out of space, buy some at Ikea. It probably has a name like Herego or Stufstik. Then you can get back to hoarding air. ---

It doesn’t matter. Because, when you go to do someting, you will find that you don’t have enough time in which to do it! And then you’ll come to me. Because I am hoarding time! And I have all the time in the world to perfect my nefarious plan, too! Bwa-ha-ha-ha-haaaa… ---

There’s no need to hoarde air people! If you start to run out, just go turn on your hair dryer. Mine’s always got tons and you can even choose the temperature. ---

Silly poster-we’re not hoarding air people. They are looking like Michelin man and away floating. Why you want air people anyway? They over-inflated gasbags. I poke your air people with my pointy poking-type tool and watch them quickly flying, making fart sounds from their hole. ---

You people are so behind the times, I’ve been hoarding air and space for a few months now. You see, I got angry one day at never being able to find the lid to the plastic food storage container I had just piled leftovers into, so I matched all my bottoms with all my tops and sealed them, thus hoarding air _and_ space. Yeah, it _takes_ space to hoard space, but its all mine! I added to my collection last week by making a wall of boxes that are nothing more than boxes of air and space! I have liters of air and cubic feet of space! _I RULE THE WORLD_🆒 ---

If you hoarded a scottich bovine’s with tastes that run towards show tunes, you’d be hoarding a fairy dairy-air. ---

Make sure said bovine has never known love and give it a Michael Myers mask, and you’ve got a cherry scary fairy dairy-air.
