122
123->'''Sandy:''' What's with these people? They're so ''[[TheCameo strange!]]''\

138-->-- [[http://www.the-whiteboard.com/autowb590.html here]]
139
140->'''Doc:''' Dunno. What's playing?\
141'''Roger:''' The same five movies that are always playing: the mindless explosive-laden action flick, the sappy chick flick, the propagandist political "documentary", the low-budget sci-fi based off a crappy book, and the horror/thriller with a plot so transparent it makes vodka look like week-old Yoo-Hoo.\
142'''Doc:''' You can always stay here, you know.\
143'''Roger:''' [[SoBadItsGood And miss out on all the fun?]]

148
149->'''Pirta:''' Anybody know why he tried blowing up a refrigerator in the first place?\
150'''Bruno:''' He's Doc. Sometimes 'just because' is a perfectly acceptable reason.
151-->-- [[http://www.the-whiteboard.com/autowb666.html here]]
152
153->'''Sandy:''' ''[watching Pirta play]'' We've created a monster.\

155-->-- [[http://www.the-whiteboard.com/autowb729.html here]]
156
157->'''Doc:''' Now we can do this one of two ways. One, you delete the photos voluntarily and don't let the lady know they were ever taken, and we'll give you some free passes and paint for your trouble. The other way involves being coerced to ''eat'' said phones without benefit of condiments, after which we suggest to the lady that she could perhaps retrieve them, if she so desired, using whatever pointy items she had on hand.\
158'''Cell camera guy:''' You make a strong and vividly illustrated case.
159-->-- [[http://www.the-whiteboard.com/autowb736.html here]]
160
161->'''Sandy:''' A...bomb shelter?\
162'''Doc:''' Well, that's what he called it. It was more like a place to ''store'' his bombs.
163-->-- [[http://www.the-whiteboard.com/autowb842.html here]]
164
165->'''Pirta:''' Is he always such a perv?\
166'''Sandy:''' Only just before he suffers a concussion.

176-->-- [[http://www.the-whiteboard.com/autowb956.html here]]
177
178->'''Sandy:''' What ''is'' it with this place that not only does [[StuffBlowingUp something blow up every five minutes]], but it's always something [[MadeOfExplodium that has no business exploding in the first place?]]
179-->-- [[http://www.the-whiteboard.com/autotwb1028.html here]]
180
181->'''Doc:''' Y'know, I think next time I go skydiving, I won't even have to bother bringing a parachute. I'll just bring some welding leads or an extension cord. It's an even bet they'll snag on ''something'' before I land.
182-->-- [[http://www.the-whiteboard.com/autotwb1154.html here]]
183
184->'''Doc:''' I'd say it's too early for puns...but that presumes that at some point there's a correct time for them.
185-->-- [[http://www.the-whiteboard.com/autotwb1340.html here]]
186
187->'''Doc:''' I didn't say it was a good idea. I just said it'd be fun to watch.
188-->-- [[http://www.the-whiteboard.com/autotwb1353.html here]]
189
190->'''Doc:''' What? C'mon! The experiment worked! Hardly anything blew up!\
191'''Sandy:''' Except that you use 'hardly anything' like most people use 'across the entire Eastern seaboard.'
192-->-- [[http://www.the-whiteboard.com/autotwb1376.html here]]
193
194->'''Pirta:''' Oh, come on! Fancy restaurants are the best places to make a scene!\
195'''Tawny:''' I bet I can get us kicked out!
196-->-- [[http://www.the-whiteboard.com/autotwb1399.html here]]
197
198->'''Sandy:''' What on Earth are you trying to do there, reassemble used dynamite?\
199'''Doc:''' That'd probably be easier.
200-->-- [[http://www.the-whiteboard.com/autotwb1465.html here]]
201
202->'''Doc:''' What? But I have some great strategies and tactics lined up for you guys!\
203'''Sandy:''' Most of your 'strategies' involve [[FastballSpecial throwing people overhand]] or distracting them with a stun grenade. We want to win this thing our way.
204-->-- [[http://www.the-whiteboard.com/autotwb1470.html here]]
205
206->'''Doc:''' Can I get you something to drink?\
207'''Gino:''' Beer if you got one. Three if you got more than one.
208-->-- [[http://www.the-whiteboard.com/autotwb1548.html here]]
209
210->'''Doc:''' You know, I've never seen anyone crumple a glass bottle into a ball before.
211-->-- [[http://www.the-whiteboard.com/autotwb1549.html here]]
212
213->'''Doc:''' Well, Roger had this idea for a golf club, and...wait, don't you want to hear what happened?\
214'''Sandy:''' I'll wait for the movie. Or the court transcripts.
215-->-- [[http://www.the-whiteboard.com/autotwb1552.html here]]
216
217->'''Sandy:''' Your lectures could be bottled and sold as surgical anesthetic.
218-->-- [[http://www.the-whiteboard.com/autotwb1660.html here]]
219
220->'''Doc:''' You know, some nice soothing gunfire does sound pretty good right about now...
221-->-- [[http://www.the-whiteboard.com/autotwb1667.html here]]
222
223->'''Rainman:''' I want a rematch!\
224'''Bandit:''' Sure! 237th time's the charm!
225-->-- [[http://www.the-whiteboard.com/autotwb1671.html here]]
226
227->'''Bruno:''' I can't fault his logic, Red. [[StopHavingFunGuys I wanna unscrew his head and see what makes him tick]], but I can't fault his ''logic''.
228-->-- [[http://www.the-whiteboard.com/autotwb1685.html here]]
229
230->'''Swampy:''' All right, are they running towards something, or away from it?\
231'''Sandy:''' Away, 'cause they're sweating. If they were running that excitedly towards something, they'd be drooling.
232-->-- [[http://www.the-whiteboard.com/autotwb1722.html here]]
233
234->'''Sandy:''' Okay, I'm pretty sure like two minutes ago we were talking about team practice. Did I get the wrong set of cue cards or something?
235-->-- [[http://www.the-whiteboard.com/autotwb1750.html here]]
236
237->'''Pirta:''' What? How did you know?\
238'''Swampy:''' Well, like this morning, when he found out I ate the last of his Froot Loops? The smoke that came out of his ears was a lot darker than usual...
239-->-- [[http://www.the-whiteboard.com/autotwb1752.html here]]
240
241->'''Doc:''' This is kind of a "RocksFallEveryoneDies" type of weapon, isn't it?
242-->-- [[http://www.the-whiteboard.com/autotwb1788.html here]]
243
244->'''Bruno:''' I think we're okay. The fire would have to jump the river to get here, and I've taken precautions. I washed my car and invited a bunch of people over for a barbecue this weekend. [[CueTheRain It's practically guaranteed to rain]].
245-->-- [[http://www.the-whiteboard.com/autotwb1798.html here]]
246
247->'''Swampy:''' But I bribed Bruno to let us have one!\
248'''Pirta:''' You? A bribe? You mean to tell me that Bruno can be bought off with [[PerpetualPoverty half a pound of pocket lint and an expired Hardee's coupon?]]
249-->-- [[http://www.the-whiteboard.com/autotwb1800.html here]]
250
251->'''Bruno:''' I heard Darryl wasn't quite the same after he took a tranq dart strong enough to knock down [[UnstoppableRage Doc on a Dew bender.]]\
252'''Rainman:''' To tell the truth, sir, Darryl wasn't quite the same in the first place.
253-->-- [[http://www.the-whiteboard.com/autotwb1803.html here]]
254
255->'''Doc:''' You and I have very different ideas of what 'real simple' means.
256-->-- [[http://www.the-whiteboard.com/autotwb1807.html here]]
257
258->'''Red Team:''' Besides its use in popular culture to denote anger and aggression, the color red's historic use as a pejorative towards Communist Bloc nations--e.g. "[[DirtyCommunists the Red Menace]]"--makes it politically unacceptable, and as such I would like to request an alternative!\
259'''Jinx:''' ...right. Okay, Team ''Pedantic Douchebags'', are you ready?!
260-->-- [[http://www.the-whiteboard.com/autotwb1841.html here]]
261
262->'''Bruno:''' Swampy, I swear I am going to find a way to make you eat your own head.
263-->-- [[http://www.the-whiteboard.com/autotwb1856.html here]]
264
265->'''Doc:''' Is that a veiled request for help?\
266'''Red:''' Veiled, nothin'. You an' Roger soaked my entire target range [[SpamAttack and everything for sixty yards around it a foot deep in yellow paint.]] You guys ''owe'' me.
267-->-- [[http://www.the-whiteboard.com/autotwb1863.html here]]
268
269->'''Roger:''' Leave me alone. Do you have any idea how hard it is to code up a 3-dimensional dynamic spin compensation program?\
270'''Doc:''' Do you know how funny it's going to look with your tail protruding from your left ear?\
271'''Roger:''' [[ShuttingUpNow I'll be right out.]]
272-->-- [[http://www.the-whiteboard.com/autotwb1864.html here]]
273
274->'''Red:''' Is someone paying you to keep me depressed, Bruno?\
275'''Bruno:''' We took up a collection.

277
278->'''Shoey:''' ''[reffing]'' Oh, it's good to be back on the field again! Big group, new players...''HEY DIPWAD! I CATCH YOU [[KickThemWhileTheyAreDown BONUS-BALLING ELIMINATED PLAYERS]] AGAIN I'M GONNA MAKE YOU '''EAT''' THAT BUNKER!!'' It's almost relaxing...

280
281->'''Cara:''' How do I know you don't still have a bunch of strange and nasty secrets?\
282'''Doc:''' My Dear Lady, I have not even ''begun'' to show you my trove of strange and nasty secrets.\
283'''Cara:''' Should I be worried?\
284'''Doc:''' Not at all. You're fireproof now.

292
293->'''Sandy:''' Don't worry about it. Just be yourself.\
294'''Doc:''' Myself has the fashion sense of a retired dumptruck. I should at least make an effort.
295-->-- [[http://www.the-whiteboard.com/autotwb2340.html here]]
296
297->'''Roger:''' And you know that feeling you get when something cool you built turns out to work even better than you expected? It's really wierd when that thing is also chasing you with a death ray.
298-->-- [[http://www.the-whiteboard.com/autotwb2555.html here]]
299
300->'''Doc:''' Would the owner of the blue Ford hatchback, parked on the west side of the building in the no-parking zone in front of our loading dock, please remove it? What's left of your transmission is clogging the treads on our excavator. Thank you.

303->'''Sandy:''' Swamps, I love you, but sometimes I swear your brain is just a shock absorber.
