"yea, ya know what would be hillarious if i got thor in this booster i wouldn't even care if i lost i'd just laugh my ass off" "yea that'd be hillarious" andre opens the booster for me "ok exp guy with ugly mask that looks like a face, veteran sentinel trooper, oh my god!" "what? did i get a morlock don't screw with me andre im in no mood" "oh my god you *astard!" "oh cmon what is it" a blue shell begins to creep out of the box "its thor!" "shut up" "no look" "ahhhhhh!, ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha" needless to say it was a good day, and now i've got my own bit of mjorin might i think its clear who the real winner was :P
