Perhaps we should suggest the diversion of some of our "Arcade Game Licensing Taskforce" to address this?

It's the "Tulsa Brand."   It's been trying to tell us that for a while.

Don't be silly, we cannot ignore the harm that playing an inappropriately licensed Pac-Man will do to the children.  My God, don't you care about the children?

I'm sure it's all about tax revenue.  The city is probably losing tens of dollars of tax revenue every year from improperly licensed arcade machines.

In Blakes operation alone, the revenue generated from those machines, had they been taged, would probably pay for that evening's raid in about 200 years.

We're surrounded by amazingly talented farm teams.

The numbers being used were artificially inflated when the joint task force decided to change the way it counted meth "labs".

Previously, a meth lab was an address, or a structure where a laboratory was housed.
Now every vessel possibly containing meth or meth ingredients is counted as a separate "lab."

So you might have one address where meth is being made, but if they lay out 50 two-liter bottles for the photo-op, they will call it 50 labs instead of the one laboratory, and the statistics skyrocket.

Dang it... I didn't expect Tulsa to use performance enhancing statistics.

Well there go all of our sponsorships. I guess I won't wear this "methstrong" bracelet anymore.

Well, i believe they are still in talks with Breaking Bad for a long term deal.  The heat is on in albuquerque, so they need a new sponsor site.

Why not just embrace it?
Works well with the "A New Kind of Energy" tag.

Does it work like a dog flea collar?  Might still have a few tweaks left in it...     ;D



But sadly, it seems it takes a lot less to fool CNN than when it was Ted Turner's baby

I still think it needs some tweaking.

Where's Sauer's input?  You know he's got the ear of Mary Fallin, right?
