Next on the choping block we call THRASHFEST '99 is this person screaming
for help.  He's a 6 month veteran at pokemon.  Let's at a look..
   o.o????

   You've been playing how long?  It took you 6 months to make this?  Heck,
WotC has made better decks than this, and that's pretty bad.  WotC has a
hard enough time making the cards, let alone anything else.  4 colors are
being played, and some of the pokemon shouldn't even see the light of day. 
You are playing a few multiples of some pokemon, but it's scary when there
are more Voltorb in the deck thanmany of the other pokemon.  AND YOU HAVE 9
FIGHTING FOR JUST SNADSHREW!!!!!!!  I know the little guy is a member of
Weight Watchers, but he doesn't need that much.
   And those trainers...  the spice of pokemon isn't variety.  You don't
even have multiples of THE BAD trainers.  1 BILL???  Are you afraid of
decking out?  I just can't go on anymore.

Well, maybe I can.  Let's go back to Voltorb.  I just noticed, HE DOESN"T
EVOLVE!  I would rather play more magikrap than 2 Voltorb.  Those just
aren't the balls to be playing with.  Heck, the slut on the corner wouldn't
even touch those, IF SHE GOT PAID!  They just think Voltorbs are too small
to play with.  Sometimes it pays to pay attention to others, no matter how
weird.

Bob:  Now why do you attack a veteran?  He has just under the amount of
experience that you do.  He is respected where he lives and all of the
little kids respect him.  His girlfriend admires the hard work that he does.

Chipmunk:  The man has been playing for 6 MONTHS and he plays 4 COLORS!  And
he doesn't even do it right!  I mean, come on.  Voltorb without Electrode? 
That's as bad as getting a wooden pole shoved up your arse, SIDEWAYS!

Bob:  Did you know you are the reason that these school shootings happen is
because you do this to innocent people, and it pushes them to the edge?  And
another incident is happening soon, just because of you.

Chipmunk:  A random act of violence because of me???  SWEET!  I'll get to
see it on Channel 4 while it still happens.  It's sad that only in America
the news can get to a shooting before the police can.

Bob:  DO YOU HAVE ANY CONSCIENCE IN YOUR HEAD? ? ? THOSE ARE INNOCENT
PEOPLE!  Is using a big gun your answer to everything?

Chipmunk:  o.o?  Well. . . Yes, now stand back.

::explosion as deck explodes from a nuke::

Bob:  I guess there is no hope.
