The above mention firebombing will take place if the offending doll ads are
not stopped immediately. The only reason it hasn't occured already is that
we had a slight mishap while preparing the incendiaries. The survivor's
burns have now been treated, those cooked extra-crispy have been properly
consumed in the vegetable cannibalistic funeral rite, and we're almost done
with the replacement firebombs. We won't hestitate to use them, and we have
terrible aim. There are some things that just should not be done, even to
the Demonic Cabbages.

Ahem. Some of the Viking Pigs were actually the root cause of the
incendiary mishap. They startled the poor veggies preparing the firebombs.
A few of the Viking Pigs were caught in the resulting blast. Rest assured,
we gave them a full veggie funeral, complete with the consumption of the
deceased, even though they weren't vegetables. It made for quite a nice
Luau. So nice in fact that further incidents of amok Viking Pigs raiding
the Outer Vegetable Territories may be met with slightly less accidental
accidents. As the Head of the United Vegetable Empire, I do not condone
such actions. I will, however, expect my subjects to invite me to the
par... er funerals.

It was the UVE. Cat-Willow was headed over to investigate the screams
coming from the Demonic Cabbage Patch and we were afraid of what would
happen if she saw what was on the TV. We needed a quick way to distract
her. We trust you'll agree that we made the right choice.
