DocHolliday2006: Yes DocHolliday2006: No questions asked DocHolliday2006: I would hang myself DocHolliday2006: he he DocHolliday2006: But with socks DocHolliday2006: Not rope Anime Jinsureiku: What if you lacked anything to kill yourself with? DocHolliday2006: How could I? DocHolliday2006: Will I be locked up before they make the announcement? Anime Jinsureiku: You'll be in the middle of.. say.. a big field. Anime Jinsureiku: No place to hang yourself from. DocHolliday2006: Then I'll quickly run into a forest Anime Jinsureiku: There are no forests. DocHolliday2006: Nowhere? Anime Jinsureiku: Only fields/ Anime Jinsureiku: It's the Midwest. DocHolliday2006: What the hell is this insane world doing with all the forests? DocHolliday2006: LOOK Anime Jinsureiku: There's nothing out there. DocHolliday2006: If there are no trees DocHolliday2006: Then I'll find a city Anime Jinsureiku: You'll be in an area with no trees when it happens. DocHolliday2006: Fine Anime Jinsureiku: It's a scripted event. DocHolliday2006: No trees DocHolliday2006: Then I'll use a telephone pole DocHolliday2006: And my socks DocHolliday2006: That's all I need DocHolliday2006: A nice thick set of socks Anime Jinsureiku: You couldn't climb a telephone pole. DocHolliday2006: Yes I could DocHolliday2006: I'll be a full-fledged ninja by then Anime Jinsureiku: That'll also be the day you experiment with sandals. DocHolliday2006: No DocHolliday2006: Never DocHolliday2006: I hate sandals DocHolliday2006: I hate the concept of sandals Anime Jinsureiku: One day you'll be overcome with curiosity. DocHolliday2006: No DocHolliday2006: It won't happen DocHolliday2006: But fine DocHolliday2006: Say I am DocHolliday2006: I'll take them off DocHolliday2006: I have better grip bear footed Anime Jinsureiku: And no socks. DocHolliday2006: What! DocHolliday2006: Fine Anime Jinsureiku: You don't wear socks with sandals. Anime Jinsureiku: That's part of the evil of sandals. DocHolliday2006: Some people do DocHolliday2006: That's twice the sin in my opinion Anime Jinsureiku: Those people are yuppies. DocHolliday2006: And if I'm wearing sandals then I'm already a yuppy Anime Jinsureiku: I personally can't STAND sandals. DocHolliday2006: Neither can I DocHolliday2006: Thus I can' t wear them DocHolliday2006: But fine DocHolliday2006: Say the socks are gone Anime Jinsureiku: In the wash. Anime Jinsureiku: You have shoes with no socks. DocHolliday2006: I'll weave the grass of the "Endless field" into a nice thick hemp noose Anime Jinsureiku: And no laces. DocHolliday2006: Hah Anime Jinsureiku: And you're really in a city again. DocHolliday2006: What! DocHolliday2006: What kind of hell is this! DocHolliday2006: Fine Anime Jinsureiku: And all traffic stopped, shocked by the news. DocHolliday2006: Fine DocHolliday2006: I'll go up to a car DocHolliday2006: And look at a businessman inside DocHolliday2006: One in a suit Anime Jinsureiku: And this is after guns and knives and scissors and forks are outlawed. DocHolliday2006: And I'll punch through the glass DocHolliday2006: And take his tie DocHolliday2006: Then I'll walk to a telephone pole DocHolliday2006: And hang myself DocHolliday2006: hah! Anime Jinsureiku: It'll be Corporate Casual day.. no ties. DocHolliday2006: Fine DocHolliday2006: I'll take his socks Anime Jinsureiku: No socks either. Anime Jinsureiku: He's a businessman and a yuppie. Anime Jinsureiku: He's got sandals. DocHolliday2006: THEN I'll break into a god damned store DocHolliday2006: ANd steal a tie DocHolliday2006: And because there are no weapons Anime Jinsureiku: There are no ties for sale. DocHolliday2006: None!? Anime Jinsureiku: None at all. DocHolliday2006: Then where do they order their ties from for the non casual days? Anime Jinsureiku: They're passed down as heirlooms from one yuppie :):):):) to his yuppie :):):):) kids. DocHolliday2006: OK DocHolliday2006: In that case there must be a shrine in every home DocHolliday2006: Where the yuppies keep the ties on their days off DocHolliday2006: I'll break into a house Anime Jinsureiku: And you can't buy anything because you don't have any rope. DocHolliday2006: And steal the ties DocHolliday2006: And no one can stop me because there are no wepaons Anime Jinsureiku: The kids are all wearing them, and not at home. Anime Jinsureiku: And they're yuppies, so they have super-high security houses. DocHolliday2006: Then I'll go to the :):):):)ing school DocHolliday2006: What security? Anime Jinsureiku: Field trip day. DocHolliday2006: There are no guns DocHolliday2006: Then I'll hijack a car and chase the bastards down Anime Jinsureiku: They all have lawyers tied up in the front lawn. DocHolliday2006: I'll threaten them with bodily harm DocHolliday2006: They'll back off soon enough Anime Jinsureiku: So they can cry and sue when someone makes fun of them. DocHolliday2006: Well I'm not interested in being sued Anime Jinsureiku: And then you'll have to pay them like 63 billion feet of rope. DocHolliday2006: I'll be dead in a matter of minutes Anime Jinsureiku: Noooo. DocHolliday2006: Just as soon as I track down those bastards DocHolliday2006: I'll get their ties or die trying Anime Jinsureiku: Being kids, they flushed their ties down the toilets. Anime Jinsureiku: on the field trip. DocHolliday2006: Then I'll head to the sewage treatment plant DocHolliday2006: And dive in to get the ties Anime Jinsureiku: Which is off limits. DocHolliday2006: I'll break in DocHolliday2006: And kill anyone who tries to stop me Anime Jinsureiku: There's a man in the way. DocHolliday2006: I kill him Anime Jinsureiku: A big guy. Anime Jinsureiku: He's bigger than you. DocHolliday2006: I kill him really well Anime Jinsureiku: And a samurai. DocHolliday2006: I'm a :):):):)ing ninja master by then! Anime Jinsureiku: Then it'll be a fight for the ages! DocHolliday2006: Yes DocHolliday2006: And the winner gets the right to hang himself Anime Jinsureiku: But his friend will help him. Anime Jinsureiku: And beat you. Anime Jinsureiku: But not kill you. Anime Jinsureiku: His friend is made of nails. DocHolliday2006: "But" I reason with him " There are ties enough for us all. Let us end our pain together" DocHolliday2006: Completely of nails you say? Anime Jinsureiku: Why would he want to end the pain? He has a sword. DocHolliday2006: Well that puts a damper on things Anime Jinsureiku: Completely of nails. DocHolliday2006: Ok then DocHolliday2006: I'd head back to the store DocHolliday2006: And buy them out of twister seals Anime Jinsureiku: With no rope. DocHolliday2006: I'll steal them Anime Jinsureiku: You can't buy anything. Anime Jinsureiku: All you have are dollars. DocHolliday2006: STEAL I SAY Anime Jinsureiku: And the big guy's there, too. DocHolliday2006: Look Anime Jinsureiku: So you can't steal. DocHolliday2006: There must be a transition phase Anime Jinsureiku: No. Anime Jinsureiku: You leave that building, and he's there at the store. DocHolliday2006: They can't just start this universal rope currency DocHolliday2006: There would be rioting DocHolliday2006: OK FINE Anime Jinsureiku: No. Anime Jinsureiku: The people will be overjoyed. Anime Jinsureiku: Because they are idiots. Anime Jinsureiku: And NPCs.

DocHolliday2006: I broke it down before Anime Jinsureiku: No you didn't. Anime Jinsureiku: There's a nail in it. DocHolliday2006: And if they did I'll break a window and go through DocHolliday2006: I'll avoid the nail then DocHolliday2006: I break a window Anime Jinsureiku: The windows are made of clear steel. Anime Jinsureiku: These are rich people. DocHolliday2006: Ok DocHolliday2006: Fine DocHolliday2006: I go to an office building DocHolliday2006: It's open right? Anime Jinsureiku: I told you.. security. Anime Jinsureiku: Nope. DocHolliday2006: Town hall? Anime Jinsureiku: Closed to celebrate the day. DocHolliday2006: There must be a big town hall DocHolliday2006: Rope day DocHolliday2006: Great Anime Jinsureiku: Now known as "Worldwide Ropification Day. DocHolliday2006: Ignants DocHolliday2006: Ok fine DocHolliday2006: Let me think Anime Jinsureiku: Town hall in the town you'll be in consists of a Home Depot shed. Inside is an old guy sitting on a riding mower. Anime Jinsureiku: His name is Frank. Anime Jinsureiku: He's the mayor. DocHolliday2006: I flick Frank off as I walk out of his god forsaken town DocHolliday2006: And into the great plains Anime Jinsureiku: His town has a big wall around it. Anime Jinsureiku: You can't leave unless you use the door. DocHolliday2006: They can't bar the god damned gate DocHolliday2006: It's got to be open Anime Jinsureiku: The doorknob is broken. DocHolliday2006: No DocHolliday2006: I won't accept that Anime Jinsureiku: A janitor is busy trying to fix it. His name is Carl. Anime Jinsureiku: He kind of smells. DocHolliday2006: Cars and other transportation devices must pass through DocHolliday2006: IT has to be huge DocHolliday2006: And there has to be more than one gate Anime Jinsureiku: The turn on their sides to fit through the door. DocHolliday2006: What! DocHolliday2006: Fine Anime Jinsureiku: Carl is in the way, though. DocHolliday2006: I kill Carl in spite and walk back to town Anime Jinsureiku: The door was open while he was fixing it. DocHolliday2006: Ok DocHolliday2006: I walk through Anime Jinsureiku: Killing innocent Carl? DocHolliday2006: YES Anime Jinsureiku: He was just working to earn his rope to feed his kids. Anime Jinsureiku: Who are all birth-defect babies. DocHolliday2006: And THAT IS EXACTLY WHY HE MUST DIE! DocHolliday2006: USERS OF THE ROBE MUST PERISH DocHolliday2006: I'm a ZEALOT DocHolliday2006: DAMNIT ! DocHolliday2006: I kill him real good DocHolliday2006: Once I learn about the robe bit Anime Jinsureiku: This is precisely the reason there are pirates in the world. DocHolliday2006: Fine Anime Jinsureiku: To fight the no-weapon rope world. DocHolliday2006: I got outside Anime Jinsureiku: Indeed you did. DocHolliday2006: I walk to the field Anime Jinsureiku: It is a big field. DocHolliday2006: And weave a noose of grass DocHolliday2006: Ok? Anime Jinsureiku: There's no grass. Anime Jinsureiku: It's dirt. DocHolliday2006: What! Anime Jinsureiku: The grass is on the other side of the town. DocHolliday2006: Why would there be a field without grass DocHolliday2006: * I think as I walk to the other side of town* Anime Jinsureiku: There's dirt on that side too. DocHolliday2006: But you said there was rope there Anime Jinsureiku: All the grass is on the other side of town.

DocHolliday2006: I stay there until I dye of starvation DocHolliday2006: I refuse to drink either Anime Jinsureiku: A man will walk by and leave you an inch of rope. DocHolliday2006: I won't go near it Anime Jinsureiku: And the government invented air that prevents starvation. DocHolliday2006: Infact I start to crawl *because I"m so weak* DocHolliday2006: OMG! DocHolliday2006: NO DocHolliday2006: Ok DocHolliday2006: I give up DocHolliday2006: I become a rope convert DocHolliday2006: And start using rope to better mankind Anime Jinsureiku: Why? DocHolliday2006: Because there's nothing else to do Anime Jinsureiku: Why would you ever do that? DocHolliday2006: Because I'm a bitter ex Ninja who has lost his will to fight DocHolliday2006: I'm beaten Anime Jinsureiku: Well, when you become a wealthy rope baron and live in a house of rope, the pirates will come visit you, shaking their heads in pity. Anime Jinsureiku: Then burn your rope house down. DocHolliday2006: Good DocHolliday2006: I perish int he flames Anime Jinsureiku: Because they are strictly anti-rope. DocHolliday2006: I bless them with my dying breath Anime Jinsureiku: They couldn't bear to see you like that. DocHolliday2006: Then I beg them to take me with them DocHolliday2006: So I can fly the skies as a anti rope pirate Anime Jinsureiku: You're already among them. DocHolliday2006: Good Anime Jinsureiku: You must have forgotten. DocHolliday2006: Then I set off to slay all rope users Anime Jinsureiku: Because of the rope. DocHolliday2006: That must have been it DocHolliday2006: Ok DocHolliday2006: I live a life of adventure DocHolliday2006: fighting rope DocHolliday2006: To the bitter end DocHolliday2006: For the rest of my days Anime Jinsureiku: Wall St. will also be renamed Rope St. DocHolliday2006: Fine DocHolliday2006: I'll deface the signs DocHolliday2006: I'm a pirate Anime Jinsureiku: And all the NPCs there will have big wallets.
