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

Well We're in the jungle Dixie mused ' We could try out some local attire. something to bring home for the trip. Some " Exotic" costume.. that are em revealing but tasteful. In Brazil for instance I read that Samba bras basically cover the nipples and show basically the whole breasts. leaves nothing to the imagination,. but the guys go gaga for those dancers. I Don;t think we';l get anything like that here, of course.. If we could.. that would be awesome." she laughed ' We'll try and see if anything here comes in purple Kitty' She added giving the busty cat a grin.
-
 Well I just want some sort of local toy for Oliver. You know, to add to his collection. It won;t be Catman. they dont get that over here' arlene said .
 (Hotel)
 Scooby took a big sigh of relief, as he put some deodorant on.' Finally he didnt smell overwhelmingly  of Bear innards.' you've had a scary encounter with a bear Oliver ' lets go grab ice cream sundaes to get your mind off of it. All you can stomach.. My Treat Scooby said " Besides I'm in the mood for ice cream myself.' come on " he took the orange tabby by the paw and  the pair went down to the hotel lobby where there was an ice cream bar set up. there was about 50 different flavors, a toppings stand- filed chocolate, marshmallow, coconut, sprinkles, whipped topping, and cherries." Scooby handed Oliver a dish " Lets laddle up..' He said clinking his metal spoon with Olivers.

"Yay" Oliver exclaimed, as he began to eat the ice cream. The little kitten had quite the sweet toothm, and was trying many of the flavors Scooby had bought for him. The taste was so nice, especially after what he had gone through.

"Hey Scoob," Tiger said as he and Garfield came over, "Hanging out with the little guy?"


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

"Though in your case Arlene, you have to be careful not to wear such things in front of your son," Kitty said playfully, pinching her cheeks. The girls had no idea, though, that someone was watching them from a distance.

TRue. i dont think having Oliver see my Butt or my curves in that manner would be appropriate.. Garfield on the other hand' Arlene said. ' you know girls.. with Oliver around now., I've completed half of an old dream of mine.. to be a wife and mother. Ironically, i got the mom side fulfilled before the wife part.."
- So How long have you had this dream?' Dixie asked. " a long time Dixie.. Probably before Garfield and I started dating.. We've been together for 20 years, but I'd say its been at least 25 since I first had that vision..'' a vision of what " A vision of me, in a nice house, with a housewife apron on, with my name on it. Cooking for my man and my kid.."
_
 what about the comic strip/ Dixie said " you said you'd like to appear more ion that ' Well, Yeah, I'd like that, certainly. But Having an Arlene and Friends Comic" isnt my dream gig.. Its.. Being a mom and a spouse.. I know you girls are both very talented singers, and hope to see your names in lights.. But well. I'm not good enough a singer to do that. I'm the third wheel of the trio.. if you will. Remember what happened at Wildcat"s? Arlene shuddered.'I nearly got to know Kitty's stomach on an intimate basis because I was weak..
_
 You're not weak Arlene' Dixie said confidently "Wildcat just likes playing games with his guests. Very mean games, as it turns out.. so Which Hunk did have your eye on for that spouse?' Garfield " arlene said."I've been trying to get him to see the light for 20 years..which is why I went to you for help Dixie back in Toon City.. the dance was just the start. i was trying to win his heart.. well away from his gut.. and i'm not gioving up on that Dream " arlene said " So I want to get something for Garfield so he can remember this trip to India..

"I got you a surprise," Garfield suddenly said to Oliver. He was holding a sheet of paper behind his back, eager to hand it over to the kitten.

"What did you get me?" Oliver asked eagerly, and he soon got his answer when Garfield held it in front of him. "A Shere Khan autograph?!" the kitten exclaimed happily, looking glad to have the item, "When did you get this?"

"Oh, earlier today," Garfield explained, "You remind me of myself as a kitten, Oliver."

a Shere Khan autograph?' scooby Gaped " Thats what we were planning to get him.. Before um.. getting sidetracked.. by a big bear.." we'll have to get the kid something nice to new Delhi, perhaps a picture next to the Taj Mahal. Its Garfield 1 Us 0 in the impress Oliver Scoreboard, tiger. Gotta pick up our game" Scooby said.
_
 Girls " Arlene Said seriously.." if you could help me with Garfield . I'd be eternally gratefully..I know you've already helped convince him to dance with me, but i want more.. I want you to help me win his love and affection..I'll settle for being second behind lasagna. " you'd settle for a silver behind a plate of meat and cheeses?' Dixie shook her head " Arlene, Love,  that's not good enough. Scooby loves food, sure, but he loves me more. partly because of my singing, dancing, and well, my body, but also because of my cooking and my general nature. You have to make him love you more, more than his gut? Kitty, how did you win Tiger's affections? What advice can we give Miss Betty Crocker here?' Dixie asked turning to the curvy cat.

"Well, first he found me pretty," Kitty recalled, "I was a singer at the El Purrocu club in New York, and he was smitten with me the first time he saw me preform. He asked me out, and I couldn't turn him down. I gotta say I always found his belly cute. One thing led to another, and now we're married," she purred.

What none of the girls noticed was a certain big owl flying above them.....

...........

"Then let's take him somewhere fun......and safe," Tiger said, "So let's stick to the towns and avoid the jungle."

The jungle is kinda unavoidable though, seeing as its all around us ' Scooby pointed out. ' Eh, you're right Tiger. Lets show Oliver something fun.. and Safe.. Relatively speaking.. so.. well canoeing down the river is out.." Stripetail's voice came out over Scoobys ring " actually Scooby, that is the next event, to be Held in Delhi . You will be canoeing down the Ganges river, in an 8 person boat> Just head to Delhi AS quickly as you can. Stripetail out" Stripetail's voice faded and scooby gaped at Tiger. " We're canoeing, Down a RIVER? " He sputtered.
-
 That sounds Fairy tale-like Kitty. He asks you out. you hit it off.. and voila. You end up hitched ' Dixie said.  Scooby and I met at an Eatery, where we ended up getting hired by Stripetail, and over the last couple years we've done various jobs for him.. very dangerous jobs I might add, and It brought us closer. He proposed to me on one of those jobs.. a trip to Transylvania.. and to  deal with a problem in Dracula's castle. Transylvania IS a very romantic place in its own way..' dixie said..

"Don't worry Oliver, we won't take our eyes of you," Tiger assured the orange kitten. "We know how dangerous things can get, and we promise we will keep you safe."

"Thank you Mr. Tiger," Oliver smiled appreciatively to the bigger fatter cat. He then walked over to Garfield "And thank you for getting me this Shere Khan autograph" he said appreciatively.

...........

"Say girls, do you......feel someone nearby?" Kitty suddenly said, feeling a shadow descending towards them. She looked around, trying to find and spot a suspicious figure.

No problem kid ' Garfield said ' After the hike I could do for some lasanga, Indian style." they dont have lasanga here, thats an Italian dish." scooby said. 'we'll protect you, by sitting on anyone who tries to hurt you'" well unless they are a tiger '; Tiger said, sweating as they continued to walk down the path . ' what would you like to eat Oliver " Garfield said " scooby here is paying." When did we agree on that? Scooby protested ' just now " garfield smiled a toothy grin ' come on. I'm only getting mascot wages hrre, and they're all going to john.'' alright fine. i'll throw in dessert as well ' scooby said seeing a grin grow on Olivers face.

 Arlebne was the first to spot their pursuer' Its the Duke! " she yelped , giving to the ground! Get down girls!" she said, as Dixie looked at the approaching bird with horror.

"The Duke hungers for live meat!" the big creature of the night grinned, swooping down towards the 3 girls, his beak wide open.

"We really need to find a place with less hungry animals," Kitty exclaimed as she, Arlene, and Dixie started running as fast as they possibly could to get away from the Grand Duke of Owls, who was unfortunately gaining on them.

"In you go!" The Duke exclaimed as he snatched all 3 by their tails with his big beak and dropped them inside.

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

"Thank you all for being so nice to me," Oliver smiled as he hugged the guys. "I think my mom likes you, Mr. Garfield," he said, remembering something she had told him.

Yeah, She and i have been together for a long time. I like things as they are, while she wants.. well i don;t really pay attention when she starts talking too much. Girl can go on and on." garfield made a yakking motion with his paw."I like the freedom to sleep in , you know? marriage would take a big bite out of that." Theres responsibility too.. and while you're a nice kid, and i dont mind getting stuff for you.. well i'm not dad material. Too much love of 'me' in me I suppose" Garfield Said. So think of me.. like like and Uncle, who visits regularly." Say, we could add him in into the ' guys club' Scooby said " guys only..of course. But you have to act like a guy Oliver.. No crying, or moabing over a paper cut."
_
 Dixie Arlene and Kitty fell down  the Dukes throat " Oh Crap, Oh Cra Oh Crap ' Arlene yelped as they fell..' the throat got wider and wider as they fell, and dixie was the first to land- smack on her back- followed by Kitty, then Arlene, landing on top of her. OW! Dixie said, feeling something hard  beneath her, and the girls on top of her."Get off of me girls and we'll see where we are." At least I Landed on something soft." Arlene said. That something soft , would be me and Kitty' Dixie said as she squeezed out from underneath Kitty. Before them was what appeared into some  sort of green space, and a smooth looking path that upon closer inspection, was white..  Above, a large hole dripped  liquid onto the pavement, causing a loud hissing sound. ' come on Kitty, Arlene, We need to find a way out of here' Dixie said , her ring glowing from reacting to  the obvious magic present.. " we're in his stomach, looks like.." she stopped as a sign appeared with their names on " this way,  the sign pointed.

"I don't trust this at all......." Kitty said to the other two, "We just got swallowed by an owl and now we're in a place that somehow looks larger then his own body?" The girls knew the Duke had magic powers second to Stripetail, but they didn't realize just to what extent those powers were capable of reaching.

"Yes......that hit the spot," the Duke said proudly, patting his fat owl belly, making it shake.

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

"Guys club?" Oliver asked excitedly, always having wanted to be part of a club. "Can I join, please?" he asked Tiger, Garfield, and Scooby. He turned to Scooby, "I won't cry or moan!"

Tiger smirked to the other two, "What do you say boys, shall we give Oliver the initiation ceremony?" the fat cat asked.

The duke has strong magical powers' perhaps he can make his interior look bigger than his exterior.' dixie said as the ground shook from the Duke rubbing his belly' we'll just need to find a way out of here, thats all.' Take my hand Kitty. You too Arlene ' Arlene was looking around nervously as the trio of friends continued walking down the path, the ground periodically shaking from the duke. more arrows led them to  a largwe building that appeared to be made out of bones..
_
 bump you gut against ours ' Scooby said to Oliver. Thats the first part of the initiation..The othe.,. is stuffing your face in front of the tv." Then  you'll be enteed in.. ' the name of our club is Tiger?' scooby grinned.

"Probably those of his past meals," Kitty shivered, seeing the sheer amount of bones that were in front of them. "And knowing him, that's a LOT of past meals," the singer cat said as they proceeded forward. She did her best to not loose her balance as the ground around they shaked and wobbled from the Duke's belly pats.

"Oh yes, and you are all my next meals," the Duke called to them proudly, "Enjoy your stay inside me. You'll be in here for the remainder of your lives," he let out a chuckle as he flew up into the sky, his belly sloshing more and more.

"Don't remind us," Kitty frowned.

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

"The name?" Tiger replied, caught off guard, "Oh right, the name. The name of our club is the Masculine Society for Manly Men," he came out with not very creatively off the top of his head, "As you can tell by the title, it is guys only, Oliver."

"Cool!" Oliver said, as he went to stick out his small kitten belly, which was even smaller still compared to how big the two grown cats and grown dogs' stomachs were. "I'm ready to be let into the club!" he smiled.

there are pledges to recite from the most masculine.. which is.. me ;' he grinned winking at Tiger and Garfield ' but first we need to get to our clubhouse.. where no girls are allowed, not little ones, not big ones. ; this is our man cave. Lead the Way Tiger..
' scooby said.
_
 You do know we are competitors in the games?' arlene said " and are under Stripetails protection?' She said, trying to be confident. the loud chuckles meant that mentioning the seer wasnt going to save them. " It was worth a shot Arlene Dixie said" better see whats in here. ' inside turned out to be an area similar to a  college dorm. ' pink wallpaper hung the walls' Well the wallpaper matches my fur at least ' arlene said as a series of arrows led the girls up stairs before pointing them into a room to the rught. a  medium bed, posters on the walls and a glowing tv meet their eyes ' The Tv was turned on to Gut News Tonight, with a liver and gallbader giving upfdastes on the dukes magical innards.

"Oh, we are so trapped in here," Kitty gulped, the first of the girls to begin to lose her nerves. She did her best to relax, but she doubted it would be enough.

"At least Oliver and the guys are safely elsewhere," she said to the others.

"You know the seer gave me permission to eat troublemakers," The Duke revealed, "There is no one who can save you."
...............

"Yes sir," Tiger saluted, "Follow us Oliver, to our man cave in Delhi," the fat feline begin doing a confident "manly" strut. Oliver tried his best to copy it.

"I wanna be like you guys," he meowed happily. The groups headed to the team bus

ScooBy and Garfield copied the strut, and Scooby created ' A Manly Man Pamphlet ' complete with many Man-Rules  Meant for Manly Men. Manly meats and munchables, and meeting The Manly Manes Method Of Manliness- in miniature" Here you are  little Man " scooby said Handing it to Oliver, as they Manly Marched - to the Scooby Dooby Bus..
_
 Ok Girls Just Calm " Down " Dixie said trying to keep her wits with her ' She tried speaking into her ring to contact Stripetail, But the dukes magic interfered with calling for help. " well, the Calvary not coming over the next hill'; She said, and as she looked for a remote to change the channel from the  current latest state of the gut " population 53 victims, including newcomers  Misses Dixie Kitty and Arlene,  Welcome to the Duke, enjoy your stay, until you move down to Colon City lol.
_
 Wait They know our Names ? Arlene said , sinking into a chair/ ' how is that.. Never Mind I dont wanna know" she began looking around the strange room, but there was nothing but the tv, the bed, and themselves 'Ok, Ok, there's no food..  not a surprise we ARE the food.." she said trying to stay calm, ' Gods this is worse than Wildcats, at least there, you guys were not caught up in it.." " well, we weren't as lucky this time.' Dixie replied. She looked at her ring. We Cant call for help but maybe I CAN make us some food.' " mouseburgers! She intoned, and her ring glowed, and a large plate of the steaming well done mouse burgers appeared on the Bed " geez Dixie I didnt know you could do THAT! " Arlene said grabbing a mouse burger and taking a big bite of it. " Geez this is much better than fried sewer rat..
_
 dig in ' Dixie said as she found the remote and began flipping through the channels " the Musical ass channel  performed a wind solo, the brain channel calculated the Dukes IQ- over 300 and how many mortals he had eaten in the past 100 years, about the population of India lol. the Heart channel was showing how the dukes magic cleaned out any cholesterol  from his food. The  " Bowel Storm channel had a running scrawl which showed other victims dropping into " Colon City" which was a slum in the ' deep end of the duke " All who end up in Colon City get Blown away by the dukes Great Nether Wind.

"I needed these," Kitty groaned as she began to scarf down the mouse burgers one by one, barely taking a bite before swallowing. "I get hungry when I'm nervous," she explained to the other two girls.

The tv monitor showed the Duke's healthy heart, his immense wings, his shiny teeth, and his big brain. All of which reinforced just how trapped the trio were.

"We are so screwed....." Kitty moaned with a mouthful of mouseburgers.

.........

"I wonder where are the girls?" Tiger spoke aloud, "Eh, they probably are off shopping, doing what they always do." The two cats, kitten, and dog got on their team bus.

"I want a cola," Oliver asked hopefully as he sat down in his seat.

We'll see what we have in the fridge' scooby said As woody Winnie, Scooby dee and the other team members climbed on.' scooby opened the drink container and found a number of colas.. which wee soon snatched up by the other team members, scooby barely being able to grab a cols for Oliver before  an onslaught of hands grabbed for the drinks.
_ bobo Cindy and ranger smith were relaxing as The yogi bus headed down the jungkle path towards Dehli..
_
  Screwy Dulcy and samia were playing cards to pass the time on the Dawgs bus..

(Dukes Stomach)
 Arlene wolfed down a few burgers, trying to fill her stomach, and distract from her surroundings. " Mind if I have the remote for a bit " i want to see what.. er channels ' are on here.. She said flipping through the wings channels, brains channel, feet channel.. and stopping on the music channel ' which was playing an opera with a skeletal symphony.. once yu got past the bones and appearances.. the music was.. actually really good.
_
 Dixie took a look around the room looking for anything that could use as a distraction.. And finding nothing, took a seat back on the bed. " well Girls looks like we are going to have to find ways to keep our spirits up.. singings, Dancing, telling stories,  Just about anything.. really..
_
 as Arlene watched the music . suddenly an image appeared at the bottom. a scrller turned on ' turn to channel 666' Arlene blinked. At first she wasnt quite  sure she had seen  that,, but then it appeared again.. Arlene turned to the channel, and at first the screen was completely blank.. then white type appeared ' An Offer of Freedom, for you Miss Arlene,.. it scrolled  But only if if you are willing to do something... Sacrifice something..' Arlene shook her head " are.. Are you girls seeing this.. " she  tried to change the channel but nothing happened.. P"Perhaps I should show you..." the type continued...the first image had herself Dixie and Kitty tied up and Gagged in a cooking  pot surrounded by hungry looking natives.. Arlene tried to turn away, but it was as if some force was forcing her to watch.. The Image of the girls in trouble faded, replaced with Garfield being cooked in a lasagna.." well.. Thats.. um Ironic.." Arlene said quietly.. followed by Nermal getting caught in a cheese trap, the studio burning down.. Arlene wandering the Streets.. Getting stood up at an altar- Arlene began to sob at that one-- each one was worse and worse.. Finally an Image of Oliver appeared, wandering the streets which appeared to be covered in snow and ice ' shall he be an Orphan again? said the type simply.. Oliver's eyes widened and he turned and Ran,. after him, came a pair of ferocious dobermans, a trio of mean looking alley cats, and what looked like the city stray catcher.. ' No! Arlene Sobbed openly, Pressing her claws to the screen " NO! She Screamed " Pay a price.. for your safety.. what price.. I leave to you' said the type which faded away ' AHHH! Lemme OUt! Arlene bolted up and ran out the door screaming nonsense as she ran.. Dixie gaped in surprise "Must have been some scray movie or something on there " she said to Kitty, as she stared as the opening through which Arlene had ran.
