Cobra Commander:<\/b> Did the Teleportation Machine work Dr. Mindbender?
\nDoctor Mindbender:<\/b> Well I thought it was going to be difficult rounding up all the raw gold needed to serve as its fuel source but after pointing me to that idiot pirate who was just giving it away we were set.
\nCobra Commander:<\/b> So all the passengers on the train\u2026
\nDoctor Mindbender:<\/b> Safe in Cobra Custody Herr Commander, replaced with lifelike dummies.
\nCobra Commander:<\/b> And the plant?
\nDoctor Mindbender:<\/b> Yes we left behind a Cobra Trooper disguised as a \u2018Fireman Beal\u2019 to plant a false story. Won\u2019t anyone notice he doesn\u2019t actually work for the company?
\nCobra Commander:<\/b> No I\u2019m relatively certain that everyone in this world are inattentive idiots, but even more than that I\u2019m positive that no person with a job like \u2018Fireman\u2019 would be considered important by anyone here. Least of all this world\u2019s creator.
\nDoctor Mindbender:<\/b> Again, can I ask why we did this?
\nCobra Commander:<\/b> Well we may be a ruthless terrorist organization but even I\u2019m not going to stand by and let someone blow up some innocent little kids and let them die from fire and asphyxiation because I think that they deserve it!
\nDoctor Mindbender:<\/b> Yes\u2026 that does seem like an incredibly pointless and stupid kind of evil. Whoever advocated such a thing must be one of the most vilest and incompetent villains ever. It\u2019s very fortunate that such a self indulgent, stupid, mean spirited and utterly, pointlessly morally bankrupt person would never be able to found a movement of like minded people who would think that that person was, oh, some kind of prophet preaching necessary truths about life.
\nCobra Commander:<\/b> Indeed! Now get to work on that shrink ray so we can sneak Cobra Troopers into the Joes\u2019 Christmas presents, on the double!
\nDoctor Mindbender:<\/b> Finally, a sensible and understandable evil plan. Right away Herr Commander!<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
