Surely, most of you have heard by now, but for those who haven't, Aquadots, the hottest selling toy on the market, just got taken off the shelves to keep children from swallowing them. Not because it's a choking hazard, but after mixing with the fluids in a child's body, the Aquadot quickly becomes a date-rape drug.

How do I dismiss this? Well, first of all, a child doesn't have different fluids than anyone else. So it is safe to assume that it affects anyone so they would logically take it off the shelves to keep it from being abused by drug addicts. They just used children as a better excuse.
And secondly, the stuff was recalled because they mixed up chemicals while making them. The replaced the non-toxic pentanediol with the toxic butanediol, which can metabolize into a date-rape drug.

Mage: Hottest toy on the market? Never heard of it.
"Bindeez, produced as Aqua Dots[1] in North America, is a children's toy that was awarded Australian "Toy of the Year" for 2007.[2] Toy Wishes magazine named one of the products among its 12 best toys of 2007.[1] It is manufactured under contract by a factory in Shenzhen, Guangdong, China[3] for the Australian company Moose Enterprise P/L, and distributed in North America by Spin Master Ltd."
Looks like more of an Australian thing to me. Not my concern.
Gen: Mage's mind doesn't look into things like that.

True. So no one really gives a shit. It is the parent's fault first of all if they don't keep their kids from putting shit into their mouths. But the manufactures of Bindeez/Aquadots will surely be sued for obscene amounts of money before declaring bankruptcy.

So, wait, Mage....why did you even start a thread about this? Who cares? Doesn't concern us. Doesn't concern you.
Or does it? Did you swallow a mouthful of Aquadots? Hmm?

Probably wanted to make himself feel important. Or was trying to revive something. Who cares?

True. Onto something that matters...
What's the status on the Halloween picture? Still up in the air, I'd assume?

Oh come on. This thread has so many potential drug jokes. Not even a mention of Nam?

Apparently, when it comes to Mage posting something others think is stupid, all roast goes directly to him and not someone else associated to drugs.

If Nam POSTED here, that'd be different.

Kyle... Sort of. I am more interested in getting Bane of Heroes onto Drunk Duck within the month. I have been recreating character designs a lot over the last month and have practiced drawing action scenes. The story is pretty solid for several chapters, so I don't have to worry about that.
And I don't think there is a lot of potential for drug jokes. Maybe stupid kid jokes, but not so much drug jokes.

Feel free to post any stuff here before DD, of course.

I intend to. I might post the first chapter before I put it on DD.
