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

Gary put the sandwich back into it's container and ran to the back of the store where he'd not be observed.  He then changed into a sedan (cgi cars style) and drove out and behind the mystery machine, at a safe distance for driving while it was raining.  His side and back windows were darkened so no one could tell if someone was inside or not.  He was glad he had taken those various courses before over the decades, stunt driving, anti terrorism, racing, and other driving courses.  He had taken them since they sounded fun and he thought they may be useful in acting gigs he may get.

The rain awoke Wally who got a blanket to share with Droopy who he lay on his lap to share the blanket with.

Ben's form had worn off as he reverted back to his human form now as he took the blanket and wrapped it around himself, shaking a bit as well "Thanks" was all he had said.

Just then Tuck came running after the bus as fast as he could. He had missed the bus. "Wait up please" Tuck called as he was being drenched by the pouring rain trying to run as fast as he could to keep up with the bus.

Gary switched on his headlights, and was glad he had taken all those courses in his car form as well as his animated human form.  They had come in handy at times.  

"If it rains much more we can swim there." Wally Gator said looking out the window.

Haley looked out the back window to see Tuck running up to try and catch the bus "Um, Frankie, someone wants a ride as well"

"Hmm? Oh" Frankie said as she stopped the bus and opened up the doors again to allow Tuck to get onto the bus.

"Sorry it wasn't all my fault.  I really needed to use the bathroom. And it was one of those gas stations that you need a key to use the bathroom.  It took them almost 20 minutes to get the manager to find the key for them."

Tuck said with a shiver He wrapped the blanket around himself and sat next to Cadpig. He was about to share the blanket with her.

"Oh, no I'm fine you need that blanket a lot more then I do. You don't wanna catch a cold" Cadpig said making sure Tuck was comfortable.

Stripetail revealed a tray of cups and a pitcher of hot chocolate ' this is magical hot chocolate.. the cups will not empty until you are full" He said with  a smile ' so you can drink as much as you want ...now.. pass them down.. he said, starting to hand the cocoa out. Cash took a cup with a gruff 'thanks'. other toons began to stir as  the sound of passing cups filled the bus. 'Be careful the cups will be hot.." Stripetail warned as he moved up and down the bus..

Gary switched on his radio  & tried some stations, thinking he maybe should have used one of his other car forms since 1 had all sorts of gadgets including a mp3 type of player.

The bus continued on still as Gaz spoke up "Do you have any soda instead?" she decided to ask mainly Stripetail.

Both Haley and Jake took a cup each of hot chocolate too and begun to sip at their cups.

No, actually i don't really know what soda is, i know only that its a form of beverage' Stripetail shrugged ' if you don't want the hot chocolate that's fine, unfortunately i don't have soda, but the others might, ask around..' he added moving past Gaz's seat . Hong Kong Phooey took a cup as did Captain Caveman and dynomutt. Aime took a cup  passed it down to Odie who declined..

Alvin just sat there as Gaz asked for a soda. Simon elbowed Alvin hard in the ribs.  Alvin was like the king of soda he always managed to bring like a 12-pack of soda where ever he went.

"Here Gaz you can have have one of my soda's " Alvin said reluctantly.

Wally Gator and Droopy both got a cup of hot chocolate and sipped it while using the cup to keep their hands warm.  

Gary continued to drive, finally finding a station he found to be ok to listen to.
