This week, an Australian cult classic... Mad Max 2
My life fades, the vision dims, all that remains are memories. The ASX had become a desolate wasteland after the Martis event of the 30's. Only those mobile enough to scavenge, brutal enough to pillage would survive. The gangs took over the markets, ready to wage war for a portfolio of shares. And in this maelstrom of decay there was a man. A man known as The Fib Warrior. A man we called Max
MM...==Pauley stay here==maths. Gonna check the tanks abcde==.
Wez Shorter...You can run, but you can't hide! Also I think my girl is a bloke.
Mowibble Gyro...Well well well, what have we here? Trying to steal my shares were you?
MG...Alright, take it easy! I know a place you can get some shares. Maybe we can make a deal. MM...Note those perfect hits if you don't show me...61.8% MG...You sure drive a hard bargain Mr.
"I'm Red Backa, a few have us have managed to hold off the shorters and live off the shares we hold. We can't last much longer, we're planning to head north. We could use a man like you, let me know I'll be in the library.
Humungous Shorter...There has been too much violence. Too much pain. But I have an honorable compromise. Just walk away. Give me your shares, the options, the warrants, and the whole compound, and I'll spare your lives. Just walk away and there will be an end to the horror, we can all move on and I can go back to Mexican wrestling.
RB...You've got to drive the truck Max, do you really think Jeeps is up to it, I mean look at him! MM...I feel an important vibration==. Maths, I'll drive your truck==38.2%
MM...Let's say hug me baby, no more English, just maths. Here Kid, 3765 the low!
Stu the Feral...Aagh uugh ughhh gurgle cough!
RB...Watch your left Max, one of the psychos is on your tail.
SBW Shorter...I can only last 10 rounds.
"That's the last we saw of Max. We had escaped with a busload of MAD shares at $1.20 each for our future. In the fullness of time, I became The Leader and turned the camp into a cheap rock venue with $2 Midori's."
