I'm getting really tired of thinking about how these guys have secret nuclear launch codes, and at any given time we are moments away from thermo-nuclear war. It's bad enough that they are a constant threat, but I'm also tired of the Russians thumbing their nose at our submarines, engineering red scare among our population, and creating great boxers that threaten Rocky Balboa's title.

I don't have faith in NORAD, the CIA, the Pentagon, or the FBI, and I think that the Kremlin and their KGB have infiltrated America and have secret spies all over the country plotting new detonation targets in our shopping malls and other high profile areas.

It is high time that the public decides that it will no longer stand for the Russian threat, and that we demand the Kremlin to disarm and relinquish their secret launch codes to the UN.

General besson3c D. Ripper: Mandrake, do you recall what Clemenceau once said about war?

Group Capt. Lionel Mandrake: No, I don't think I do, sir, no.

General besson3c D. Ripper: He said war was too important to be left to the generals. When he said that, 50 years ago, he might have been right. But today, war is too important to be left to politicians. They have neither the time, the training, nor the inclination for strategic thought. I can no longer sit back and allow Communist infiltration, Communist indoctrination, Communist subversion and the international Communist conspiracy to sap and impurify all of our precious bodily fluids.

Wait, is it the 80s again? I'd be pretty much down with that.
I have plenty of more important things to do, if only I could bring myself to do them....

The Illuminati had a lead on the secret launch codes after cracking a part of the Divinci Code with the Free Masons, but the Russians snatched the codes and escaped in a stealth submarine.

I could deal with that, too. MTV actually played music videos, the Mets had talent, and Greed was good!

We also had a Space Shuttle....

And these!

I'm sorry about your being laid off...

I have a question though. Did you have to battle with Russian cosmonauts?

I'll bet they used to joust. Ballpoints against pencils.

Well, you can write to your Congressman or woman.

I also happen to think that Turtle777 is a Russian spy, and is Abe's successor. If my theory is right, perhaps Turtle will relinquish the launch codes with the right manipulation.

I'm tired of Russian dressing. Maybe I'll go French or Italian.

Turtle has given us the first two digits of the launch codes, 11…..

Keep going and maybe you'll get the rest!

Turtle777 is an undercover zookeeper, and I'm starting to wonder if Ron Paul knows the launch codes too.

Thanks.

As for the Cosmonauts. Serious dudes. Come to think of it. To serious. Now that I look back on it. They were studying our secrets, strengths and weaknesses (that being the dweebs running the show, and still are). Then making their secret attack to cause the termination of the Shuttle program and my job.

Now I see the truth behind it. They are the only player that have a Rocket to ride to the I.S.S. And at the price of over 50 million smackers. Those sneaky Commie Capitalistic Bass'tads.

Ok I'm gonna get in the proper mind set now, by watching RED DAWN

I recommend that you all do the same! And don't forget to practice "DUCK AND COVER" to avoid the Commie nuke blast.

If you try to come between one russian and his vodka you are risking your life. If you try and come between all russians and their vodka you are already dead. (And even Kenshiro couldn't help you)
I have plenty of more important things to do, if only I could bring myself to do them....
