    Mystery box?  I’m tempted.

      The mystery box could be anything. It could be a boat! You know I’ve always wanted a boat!

      • SomeGuyNamedMark

         I’ll use my x-ray specs to look inside it!

       If they’d only named it a Bag Of Crap instead, the founders would be billionaires today.

    I call foul.  Darthfield shouldn’t care about some superlaser.  The ability to destroy a planet is insignificant next to the power of the Force.

    • Andrew Eisenberg

      Apparently, that’s not true. XKCD, which holds supreme knowledge in this sort of thing, deduces that yoda’s force can do no more than power a single block of suburban houses.

      You’d need lots of Yodas and/or Darthfields for that.

        Yeah, but then Yoda TURNED INTO A GHOST. Even if it uses a miniscule amount of energy, being a ghost forever has gotta be pretty mighty.

        Maybe Yoda wasn’t putting out his full effort …  You know, just trying to teach the tow-headed kid a lesson, no need to break a sweat here.

    Hmmm, I thought I had the market cornered on the term “boson-burger” on the very day of the announcement (Higg-dependence Day): http://taoofwalking.wordpress.com/2012/07/04/july-4-barbecue-the-higgs-boson-burger/

     Dunwoody, Darthfield and Superhero Fantasies for the Middle-Aged all in on Fun-Pak®!  One of the very best Fun-Paks® ever, in other words.  Thx Bolling!

    I desperately want to  join the Junior Sales League Of America. I wonder if I can get out of my contract with Grit.

    • ZikZak

      Here’s a kid on the path to greatness!  Junior Sales League of America today, Wall St. tomorrow!

  • Navin_Johnson

    “Certain things” lol.

    Loved middle-aged man getting angry about the baseball wild card predictions too…haha.

    The submarine in the prize better be a narco-submarine.  Just sayin’.

    I was expecting the JSLA kit to be run by Uncle Cap’n.  Maybe it is but he can’t list his name for legal reasons.

    One of the finest appearances of Percival yet.

    With inflation, wouldn’t Percival Dunwoody’s $100 be worth less than $20 today? Should have invested in mustache wax futures.

    • Antinous / Moderator

      More like $4.
