Breezy: So I gave Uncle Spur that weird cat statue. What's the big deal? Was it worth a lot on eBay? Rip Haywire: Breezy, it's a magical totem that lets its owner get away with anything scot-free! You've unleashed cat-apocalypse! Breezy: C'mon, Rip, this looks more like a minor catastrophe, at most a small cataclysm. Narrator: A magical feline totem is wrecking havoc on the town! The catpocalypse begins! Rip Haywire: Spur, what'd you do? Spur: This was not my fault, Rip! It says here on the back: abusing this idol's power will open a portal to cat hell. Rip Haywire: Sour, I'm pretty sure that portal has opened! Spur: Well, I'd say magically gaining financial control of Walmart and time-warner is hardly "abusing" the thing's power, Rip.
