"Twenty-Seven Amusing Thoughts on Urban Warfare and After-Dinner Mints."

Begs the question, doesn't it? How do you weaponise an After Eight?

Well after a garlic and anchovies burrito you need the breath mint.

No,no,no you go on an urban rampage when your after dinner mint at the local hotel is missing!

But, where's the fun in just going on a rampage without turning edibles into something to rampage with? <puppy dog eyes>

Point, definite point. But since the mints are missing, you just have the lamps, covers, mattress and chairs to work with. Perhaps a fruit basket? You could do something smashing with box springs and pineapple I'm sure.

Rampaging! With puppy-dog eyes! I'm helping!

While I just pictured Godzilla with puppy eyes.

Monty Python weaponised an after eight.

monty python: sparks.

Stupid thought... Wily E Coyote the unlucky spark that is Made of Iron.

Hmm. Perhaps he's related to Othar?

So if we have a confirmed Made of Iron how the hell does the Baron keeps Othar and would keep Wily down?

Grantz, made of more than iron.

And for Klaus he can leave Wily E coyote running after the Roadrunner.

Well, I think we see where the Dingbots get their skill and drive to cannibalize.

With enough time, Agatha and her merrie band could subvert all the armies in the world. But she certainly does not have enough time right now.

Speaking of which . . . we haven't seen any of them for a while. That's unfortunate. They'd be really useful right at this time, climbing up the legs of assorted invading clanks, disassembling all the way.

Well, maybe there's a Chekhov's Dingbot army (or Kestle Improvement Bonus) down the road.

Assuming they haven't eaten most of Der Kastle.

"Kestle Improvement Bonus" Bringing Lotsa Energy! Dingbots are small and round...

Small, round, scitter all over the place, wind up in the last places you expect and trip up the unwary...

They're the clank versions of marbles, I swear.

And occasionally the malevolent version, as well. Hmmm, rethinking that statement, marbles tend to be pretty malevolent all by themselves, once they get out of the sack. Maybe that's what dingbots are, intelligent marbles.

So if Agatha strikes with thunder the dingbots will fry or be supercharged as well?

<shudders> Hyperactive Dingbots. I hate to think what they'd get up to...

Well it is their equivalent of Chocolate-Frosted Sugar Bombs so I'd put them in the same area when Calvin goes shaky with energy after several plates of it.

Edit: Should be hitting the bed so the update comes but checking something and to be honest taking a few tears of as well. Memories triggered and imagination running wild...

Post Data: Seems I gave another nightmare fuel to euo with the supercharged dingbots.
