...they balk, tell them that you're appearing in one of the commercials, or that your friend Freddie's wealthy dad, Mr. ceo, watches every Saturday to pick up business tips.

The evil hordesmen cost $4.97 each and liberal portions of "Battle Bones" will set you back $8.97. If we conservatively define a horde as one thousand individuals, a small-scale conventional war would cost $5,450--there may be a manufacturer's rebate, I'm not sure...
