The Gang of Five
Howdy, everyone!

As you know, the forum has been fighting spammers and bots for years. We have seen our fair share of "Custom Kitchens UK", scammy Internet hosting companies, and bots trying to send us to a business's homepage. But after fighting the tidal wave of spam for so many years, the admins had a persistent thought: what if the spammers are right? Not in terms of posting nonsense links and trying to scam our users, but in trying to make money through our unique platform?

Well, thanks to the helpful counsel of Taunt, we have finally decided to move the forum in a new direction. Please see his important post on the matter in this topic

Wally stretched.  "ah, nice, now we can walk around and get in some gentle excercise." he said.  

"Just don't wander off to far." Droopy said.

"I'll go with him." Gary said.  if we get lost I can fly up to look or landmarks."

Droopy nodded, "just call me if you need help, I can send of a flare." He said to the other 2. "you both have numbers?"

"Yea, just imagine, in the old days we'd have to look for a payphone.  Phones were not really portable then.  My, how times have changed."  Wally said.

The three toons were revealed to be a bipedal tiger, a bipedal shark and a monowheeled robot with hands set next its head like ears.

"You rang? Make way for the cool guy to save you all," the robot said. It reached out with one of its hands and shook Stripetail's own. The grip was surprisingly powerful.

"Well, I'm Pfish," the shark said. "He's Chip and that's the Demolition Zoid." He pointed to everyone in order.

"We're from Big City Police Department's bomb squad," Chip said. "Captain Fairchild called us over saying we might be needed for security purposes. Now are you Stripetail?"

The Demolition Zoid rolled up to the table and pulled a carafe of coffee along with an entire cafe setting for four from the hatch on his front. "Cup of joe?" he asked.

"Well, we're usually paid in dollars," Pfish said. He poured himself a cup of coffee and added some sugar.

Chip nodded and shook Stripetail's hand. "You can count on us," he said.

The Demolition Zoid turned to Stripetail and winked. "Listen baby, I can sniff out any explosive with in ten miles."

"What are our instructions for today, boss?" the babboon chefs asked Scar.

...............

"Ah Scar, I'm aware of this place," the Duke commented, hearing about the cafe, "I have respect for that lion."

...........

Zira looked at a family photo that had been taken since Scar was revealed to have lived and the whole family saw each other again for the first time, and gave a little smile.

.......

"A place ran by a feline, good," Kitty grinned.

The trio quickly signed the papers.

"So do we get any equipment or uniforms?" Pfish asked as he looked around the room.

Chip ran a hand down his face. "We got our equipment right here!"

"You mean this equipment?" DZ pulled a smoking toolbox from the hatch on the front of his body.

_
 Prepare a light lunch. we'll have guests coming in at noon, or thereabouts. about 70 of them' Scar smiled.
_ Lets hope things dont turn out like the last time we went to a restaurant owned by a big cat. that time i almost ended up on the menu' Arlene shuddered.

"I've read reviews about this place," Kitty assured Arlene, "You won't have to worry about that here."

"Yay, we're going to a buffet," Oliver smiled.

.............

"Yes, boss," the baboons nodded and set to work, creating a ton of dishes.

"Having a loyal staff is key to success," Zira grinned to her husband.

"These are quite lovely," Pfish said as he donned the jumpsuit.

DZ got a badge that was attached to his metal chassis. Chip got a jumpsuit like the one Pfish had.

"So what's our first assignment?"

"With that cash, everything will be searched and stopped," DZ said.

secure the perimeter around the first contest site  baloos watering hole stripetail said Baloo wants to see who can feed him the most fish in 10 minutes.

_
Oh really? where did you read them?' arlene asked ' Because I'd never heard of this place  before. Course i dont eat out much, so i wouldnt know all the hot and trendy spots to eat. Anything you'd recommend?' Arlene asked as the pair walked alongside a river bed. the buses had parked as close to scars restaurants as the trails permitted , which was about a mile away.
- Scooby dixie and Garfield walked behind them, Oliver was riding on Scoobys shoulders, he liked the large Great Dane- especially when Scooby gave him sweets!
_ louie took a good look at Sawyer and began to stroke her behind' hmm.. soft and fluffy,  he smirked and he squeezed tightly' Hey ! Hey! Sawyr began to Protest but was cut off as Louie suddenly kissed her smack on the lips. Sawyer tried to break the kiss, but Louies grip on her was too strong. Berri looked on in amusement.

"I'm sure you'll really want to spoil that little guy now," Kitty smirked to Arlene, seeing Oliver eat a piece of candy.

.........

The monkeys cheered on Louie as he planted the big wet kiss. "That's right King Louie! Show her her place!" they laughed.

................

"Not a bad place to stop," Belladonna commented slyly on the cafe.

"Come on man!" Chip exclaimed.

DZ and Pfish bolted out of the room and made their way to Baloo's watering hole. Luckily, DZ's one-wheeled design allowed him considerable agility and speed as he weaved between motorcycles and auto-rickshaws.

When he arrived, he waited for Pfish and Chip.

"Next time, slow down!" Chip snapped.

DZ pulled out a cup of espresso from his hatch. "Espresso? It helps boost your speed."

Arlene said ' being a mom, though means i have to provide for someone else.. hes a sweet kid.. and i Don;t want any badmouthing of him..he doesnt deserve to get picked on because of him being an orphan before meeting me . treat my boy right, and you'll be in my good books.. plus itll be practice for when you have kittens with Tiger' arlene said as she took off her uniform and jumped into the river which was cool, and refreshing after the jungle heat' ah.. that hit the spot' the pink cat relaxed..' Care to join me for a dip Kitty?' she asked ' waters nice and cool. especially since this jungles so sticky..
 Sawyer, her mouth busy from the liplock, could only glare daggers at the ape king. Finally she broke away' Cant you give me a LITTLE privacy?' she steamed.' Ok, ok , my fur frumptart.. scram boys. shoo. Miss Sawyer and me are going to make some magic.. Berri.. set the mood for us.. drums  please' louie said as the servants left.' As he said this, Sawyer slapped him hard in the face. "that was for forcing your tongue in my mouth." she said rubbing her paws together" Dumpling, you dont mean that.. ' look your highness. you cant just force yourself on people whenever you feel like t. besides, after that little stunt i'd rather kiss Berri over there than kiss you again."
_ you hear that Berri" Louie laughed loudly. oh ho. Sawyer's quite the funny little girl." I wouldnt mess with the king like this Sawyer" Berri said flatly. He always get what he wants ALWAYS. "look, could you PLEASE leave me be , so i can get used to this um treehouse ' Sawyer saud "
-Fine, Fine! it is  your first night as my dancing girl. Louie will cut your booty some slack. But in the future. you giveold Louie what he wants, when he wants it. otherwise we'll dump you down that trap door over there." he motioned to the right where the outline of a trap door was clearly visible."
" below it is a cage where bad girls wait for their date with Shere Khan.  and.. there are no second dates with Shere Khan. You Dig?' Louie said as he left the treehouse

"Certainly," Kitty nodded, quickly changing into her bathing suit. The slightly huskier feline jumped into the water. She swam around a bit, letting the water sink into her fur. "Gotta love it when the water isn't cold when you jump in," she grinned. "And don't worry, I'd never give Oliver a hard time. He's a good kitten. I promise to help you with raising him anyway I can."

....................

The Duke was flying around the area, looking for prey to devour. He found a stray deer to be the perfect meal. "Time to feast," he grinned, swooping down.

well, what i really need is money. which is why i'm hoping this singing thing of yours takes off. Arlene said as she got a good look at Kitty' Geez Kitty  you got a lot of curves. bet the men go ga ga for you when you sing, and not just because you can sing, if you catch my meaning.. As  for me, well Garfield always calls me 'gap-tooth' or ' beanpole. Well compared to you and Dixie. I AM a beanpole. both of you are very pretty, beautiful really,  and i must say you are very lucky to have guys that adore you.' Arlene said ' how did you get those curves, if i may ask? they run in the family? i'm curious, you see..
-
 the duke soon caught not only deer, but racoons , mice and a garter snake.

"Hey, men like a big girl sometimes," Kitty smirked, playfully bumping Arlene with her hips, "You need a lot of meat on your bones, girl. I'm the one in charge. No one can order me around.....except for Tiger, maybe," she added with a light chuckle.

................

"Where's my mom?" Oliver asked Scooby as they neared the Scar cafe.

...................

"Shall i make the call dear?" Zira asked Scar.

i think shes with Kitty' scooby said to the kitten as they entered the restaurant. ' don';t worry, i'm sure they'll catch up with us soon " He reassured Oliver. Scar stood at the entrance dressed in a very fancy green chefs robe( with his name on the back). " Welcome  to my Smorgasbord" He grinned ' i'm Scar, your  chef and head waiter . Zira will be out shortly with drinks. the seer has already  paid for everything so eat as much as you like..
_ Tiger and Scooby exchanged grins at the ' all you can eat' comment. ' eating contest? Tiger smirked ' What do you want to wager?' Scooby asked " Hmm ' Winner goes for the team in the first event?' Tiger suggested. ' Sure' Scooby said as scar gave Oliver a kids menu. " so.. whats it like living in the Old west? " well its fun, being a sheriff of a town ' Tiger said as he took a sip of water ' and being  the company of the prettiest cat in town in a big bonus ' tiger grinned ' Now Kitty, shes an alpha type can get just about anybody to do what she wants. But not me. Oh No, not this tabby. Nope. its the badge Scooby " i pull out the badge wave it in her face... she's like a little kitten. That and I'm the uh, bigger of the 2..' Scooby smirked ' What? Tiger said I like to eat. " I eat a ton too, but I dont keep the weight Scooby said " Mostly because I run a lot."
_
 Well I'm.. well very passive" Arlene said after recovering from being belly bounced by Kitty. " Maybe its why Garfield and I never went beyond where we are in the last 20 years. I mean Hes kissed me maybe 15 times in all that time. Affectionate.. he isnt. As a girl, who likes to take charge, what advice can you give me? I want to get Garfield's attention, make his notice me. I mean i got him to dance with me, but he only did that since i had to pack on 100 pounds after losing a bet. a pity dance. So what can I do, to hold his attention?" arklene asked as she swam next to Kitty

"It depends," Kitty replied, "If you think you can do what I do, you should take charge i regards to him. You gotta tell them what you want, and that you want it bad." She swam next to Arlene. "If not, if you're really really the passive type, maybe then you need him to be your "boss".

But isn't that why I have friends like you Kitty? To point this kinda stuff out? Arlene asked." this.. isnt something I'v given much thought to, to be honest. Garfields always had his thing, and I've put up with it forever. Its just something I've accepted as part of being in his circle. Its Garfields world and comic , I'm just living in it and needed in strips 16, 41 and 80. oh look, he dumps water on my head ' Arlene let forth a big sigh. well it could always be worse i suppose . I could be dating Nermal. he makes Garfield look normal.  what i want is a relationship, a real one, and if he cant or wont give it to me, well then, either i'll force him into it, or , more likely,  find someone else to have a relationship with. Guy.. or girl. what matters is i feel needed, accepted and appreciated, instead of taken for granted and pushed back on to strip 973.' arlene said. Can you help me Kitty?
_ Vitani was trying to call her dad  from the royal Phone  ' the ringing repeated itself again and again. " no luck ' she said as she looked her brothers " Likely working at the restaurant " Nuka shrugged ' thats where he normally is , sis.
_
Oliver was looking at the  menu,  which was full of good things 'i'll have the mice balls for an appetizer, all you can eat fish sticks and ice cream for my dessert please ' he mewed sweetly ' Scooby and Tiger had ordered the all you can eat cod .
