Ransomware ? Big deal. The Oompa Loompas can still pull them out of their noses. What's the problem ?

We'll declare a national holiday when someone shuts down circus peanuts.

Now they have attacked Candy Corn! How much more terrorism can we take?
Oh, the humanity!

The manufacturer also makes Sweet Tarts and Nerds.
So was this an Attack of the Nerds?

Remember when trick or treating was wearing a costume, going door to door, ring or knock and when the person opened the door you called out, "trick or treat?" Every so often some smart ass would say, "Ok, let's see your trick." I was waiting for them. Had my trick all planned out. I carried one of those plastic pitchforks the devil always had. When asked as to see my trick I would point behind the person and say, "Hey, what's that back there?" When the guy or woman turned around to look, I would stab them in the ass with my pitchfork.
Years ago I was asked to attend a couples workshop by a psychologist who was seeing my girlfriend who was nuts. When I mentioned the pitchfork she suggested I try it on my girlfriend to further stimulate her hourly desires for sexual arousal.

I think I saw Candy Corn dance at a titty-bar in Iowa.

Da Bastids also hit Sinclair broadcasting, home of THE CW.

Maybe they can switch to making candy cauliflower?

man tom--I believe I may have had your girlfriend as a patient back when I was working in mental hospitals. If I recall, she was nutty as a Planter's Peanut Factory. Anyway, she blamed her mental problems on some guy who kept stabbing her butt with a toy pitchfork. Amazing how the circle of life turns out, isn't it?

MOTW, it would an Attack ON the Nerds.
As far as I'm concerned, any ransomware attack is worthy of a nuclear response.

Le Petomane - Before He went into the Marines, my dad worked at a mental hospital for a short time. I only remember him saying He had to hold people down at times and they were very strong. My girlfriend was worth every second with her no matter how much she self diagnosed herself and asked for my opinion which was always, "you're fine, stop doubting yourself...the daily sex episodes we are having is a good thing for the mind." I had to call them episodes to keep her in line with her therapy.
I want to remind you I only went to the 'couples' workshop with her because of the threat of holding out on me unless I did. I was loved bt the psychologist. I knew this because she asked me to go to her cabinet and make her a peanut butter on cracker. I could have taken her.
I you have never had a girlfriend who was worth going to couples therapy with her, you have poor social skills for starters not to mention being sex-starved.

So true Jeff. On the other hand, put a box of Junior Mints in my trick or treat bag and I'll be your friend for life.

If you have never had a girlfriend who was worth going to couples therapy with her, you have hardly lived for starters not to mention being sex-depraved to the point of not knowing what a whippin' you missed.
