anything I'd have that seems. Very likely
15:51
the habit of long. You
15:57
know how they say cats always nand on

their feet. When it not
16:01
entirely true, especially when they're wearing

16:56
Sea. As wouldn't Evil Rabid
16:58
who's running for Mayor of the
17:00
World would say. Actually, that's part
17:03
of why I'm running. I don't
17:05
want there to just be one
17:07
Mayor of the Whole world. I
17:10
think it's community needs. It's all
17:12
the elected official someone who can
17:14
be trusted to to carry out
17:17
Mister Mayor of the World's his
17:19
deeds. You really are bad and

17:28
So that's why. He swapped your
17:31
brain. Ah, you must be
17:33
referring to the trans dimensional
17:35
consciousness over rice said ten?
17:37
What? As Mayor of the
17:39
World, I will assign the
17:41
top minds to the study
17:43
of the world. The pool
17:45
currently swirling in the waters
17:47
of Tin Port as good
17:49
as new. Okay that my
17:51
will. Will also be
17:54
cleaning up the very
17:56
polluted berries as. Safely
17:58
as swiftly as Poss. Is
18:00
this bon bon really evil? A
18:03
I do kind of water battle
18:05
around with my paws. That's right
18:07
by does he will have noticed?
18:09
Or maybe it's a clause. He
18:12
reminds me of Mr. Moussa as
18:14
we fear that is world who
18:16
is lingering many different worlds together.
18:19
With. The maybe if I tried my turned into a
18:21
really. Wide snow plow can just
18:23
pull eyes. You are these people
18:25
away that. Probably won't change how
18:27
they feel. Okay with the mud superpower.
18:30
Are you going to use that magically
18:32
change everyone's minds? All I'd old all
18:34
way be based on. Status.
18:40
And piles and piles of money started
18:43
shooting out of the watch and sat
18:45
in not. A
18:48
doctor been been stage. Or
18:50
know cabbie and you'll get giveaway
18:52
all your money is that would
18:54
that is pretty was your mean
18:56
superpower. Well I was going to
18:59
propose a billionaire tax along with
19:01
universal basic income in the healthcare
19:03
and more robots and saving the
19:05
saw by double our bodies. Will
19:07
that take? Oh, it'll an ongoing
19:10
investment from all of us. Actually
19:12
thought here you go. To
19:15
idea. What is that? Too late for
19:17
me to tying my tongue into an
19:19
armored truck and stuff? Are your cats
19:22
