Ugh! More unwanted incursions upon my campaign!

[JamesP]

the classic scene of the characters being captured and thrown in a cell from which they have to escape using only their wits and a pack of chewing gum

How many more unnecessary things can be added to my campaign by Wizards before I lose all hope for 4e? Answer: Just one, chewing gum. Godsdamnit.

My questions to WotC:

Is chewing gum going to become a required element of using the Escape Artist skill?

Is it another wizard's tool?

Why must you hacks continually plague me with these pointless additions? Chewing gum has no place in my campaign or any other fantasy campaign I can think of.

I swear nothing on this earth could make me shell out my hard earned cashola for this abomination of a game.

My mind always ends that MacGuyver quote with "Trust me bro, I've made bongs with less."

You've never tried plucking out an eyelash, wrapping it in a hastily chewed stick of Wrigley's and willing reality to make you disappear?

No, so I guess I've only got myself to blame for my current imprisonment :[

@Mourn: I totally forgot that last bit, and that's what makes the whole skit! D'oh.
