Dark Hood says:
He-he-he!
Dark Hood says:

The Best Form of Defense is Attack says:

Dark Hood says:
You don't even know what a mouse is, and your using a computer?
The Best Form of Defense is Attack says:
or is that a rat?
Dark Hood says:
Oh god. . .
Dragadon says:
um...
Dark Hood says:

Dark Hood says:

The Best Form of Defense is Attack says:
what do rodents have to do with computers?
The Best Form of Defense is Attack says:
and why would Mactus be messing around with a mouse?
Dark Hood says:
Heh, I've seem people who are computer iliterate, but that is just rediculas. . .
The Best Form of Defense is Attack says:

Dark Hood says:
Your teasing me, aren't you?
The Best Form of Defense is Attack says:

The Best Form of Defense is Attack says:

The Best Form of Defense is Attack says:

The Best Form of Defense is Attack says:

Dark Hood says:
*Bangs head on wall*
Dark Hood says:

Dragadon says:
Spider: yer jus' goin' ter give yer self a headache doin' that...
Dragadon says:
'friad I can't help you there...
The Best Form of Defense is Attack says:
hehe, i just thought of a mouse running round in a little wheel in the computer, powering it...
The Best Form of Defense is Attack says:
THAT'd be a slow computer...
Dark Hood says:
I mean, it's one of the first things you learn about computers. . .
Dragadon says:

The Best Form of Defense is Attack says:
couls someone PLEASE explain what the fneb you guys are talking about?
The Best Form of Defense is Attack says:

The Best Form of Defense is Attack says:

Cynical boy! says:

The Best Form of Defense is Attack says:

The Best Form of Defense is Attack says:

Dragadon says:
those poor mice must get a headache after awhile
Dark Hood: Bloody messed up sleeping pattern!! says:
Look, come on! I don't play jokes on you guys as bad as this!!
Cynical boy! says:

Dark Hood: Bloody messed up sleeping pattern!! says:
*Puts up white flag*
Dark Hood: Bloody messed up sleeping pattern!! says:
Okay, you've had you laughs now. . .
The Best Form of Defense is Attack says:

The Best Form of Defense is Attack says:
nothing that we know of
Dragadon says:

Cynical boy! says:

The Best Form of Defense is Attack says:

Dragadon says:
hmm point there
The Best Form of Defense is Attack says:

Dragadon says:

Dragadon says:
*agrees with Rett*
Dark Hood: Bloody messed up sleeping pattern!! says:
Torment you? Heh, that's a joke if I heard one!!
Dark Hood: Bloody messed up sleeping pattern!! says:

Cynical boy! says:

Cynical boy! says:

The Best Form of Defense is Attack says:
WE're not the victims here, the mice are
Dragadon says:

Dark Hood: Bloody messed up sleeping pattern!! says:
*Has given up long ago, but still decidecs to let them have thier fun and carry on playing on the part*
Dark Hood: Bloody messed up sleeping pattern!! says:
