It was over 10 years ago. The fateful day was 19 February 1994 to be exact, although the ball was set rolling well before even then. But this was the day that the terrorist threat was made public, and one brave hero stood up and saved his comrades.
A young Ms Sarah Rose, aka The Firey Rose aka Baroness von Ironclaw aka Snuffles aka...Samanfur the Fox!
Her plan was swift and deadly, she played with her cards showing, that is the kind of unwavering confidence that strikes fear into the hearts of men and women alike.
Lives, careers and stock shares were at stake! No man or woman could stop her. Luckily for as all there was still hope. Still the one who was neither man nor woman. One who was...robot! A robot named Megadroid!
The pressure was high and he had everything to lose. A lesser machine would've walked away - tape players, air conditioning systems and yes, even sandwich toasters. But not Megadroid. The mighty mechanical marvel knew he had to do what was right and faced the situation with all his cunning all his wit and all his charm.
Yes, Megadroid deduced the one fatal flaw in the heinous scheme. Ms Rose was not one to be pushed around though and Megadroid knew it. In his trademark calm and collected way he reasoned with the terrorist, let her know what would be most advantageous for her whilst making it abundantly clear that he held all the cards now and the only way to go was HIS WAY. A Sonic Water Fun Game only served to sweeten the deal.
^^^ Evidence A
And so good fellows, that is how the terrorist threat was tackled and tragedy averted. That is the tale of how one brave robot stood up for the humes he cared for but could never truly understand.
^^^ Hero.
The publishing company was saved. The periodical continued. The fire department got to continue their ping pong tournament uninterrupted. The Tails comic feature returned shortly afterwards. It was still only 4 pages per issue.
Though Ms Rose escaped apprehension some say that she's never been quite the same since, there was just something about that look in her eyes which was different. Others say that after all of these years she's still plotting her revenge, revenge so powerful, so mercilessly sweet that the cosmos itself will tremble, stars will bleed and all socks will become odd. Others say that she'll ban me for this post.
No one can know for sure, and perhaps no one ever will.
All I can say for certain is, it's all Craig's fault.
Wow. MegaDroid was a lot... CLUNKIER before I started reading. o.o
*Crying with laughter*
Don't blame Lee, he's a puppet. I made him do it XD XD XD
*Writes his will out*
.....Snuffles?
As in....Snuffles the Bear!?
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!! My memories of childhood commercial exploitation......RAPED!!! RUINED!!! DESTROOOOOOOOOOOYED!!!!!
It was HER ALL ALONG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!</u.
*dies a thousand long, painful deaths*
................................ Craig has betrayed his Queen.........................
*opens a line of one million windows*
... *sniff*
Aunt Sam is it TRUE!? ;.;
It's only a matter of time before someone wants the movie rights to this epic story.
~Neo
Will Sam attempt to silence us all and make sure this does not reach the light of day again?
Or will she take the honorable path and come clean?
In any case... (dives into a bomb shelter) THE LACKEY HAS BETRAYED THE QUEEN! (closes door)
ROFLMAO!!!!!
HO-- LY-- @#$%! XD
Should we call homeland security? o.o
Oh snap o_0.
I'm so not hugging my Tails plushie anymore.
...y'know...if I had one.
~T2K
I have a SA Tails plushie, and I love it very much. *hugs*
By the way, THAT WAS FREAKING HILARIOUS! XD Can't wait to see Sam's reaction... 
She's going to murder you both...
I'll miss you Craig. Can I have your stuff?
~Rico
LMFAO!!!!!!!!!!!
Oh my
See - she is going to KILL THE TWO OF YOU! ABSOLUTELY AND TOTALLY WITHOUT ANY REMORSE SHE WILL SLAUGHTER THE BOTH OF YOU!!! XD XD
This is PRICELESS! XD
Wow. An admin threatening something we worship so much. It MUST be Craig's fault.
That bad thing is... I have to protect my lackey.
I must prepare for coming fight with Samanfur.
*grabs Dubs by the ankles and swings him around making lightsaber sounds*
~Rico
THAT IS BRILLIANT 
I remember that letter, years and years ago, I remember it...
But, although Sam keeps repeating that she jointly hols the record with one other person of having the most letters published, I never looked to see which were hers.
Heh, I vaguely remember reading that letter ages ago. I didn't know it was from Sam, but it certainly stuck in my mind.
Haha I remember this letter, back in issue 20-something. I recognised the name when I was looking back through my comics a year or so ago.
Of course, I knew someone would eventually post it here. XD
That was great! XD! Thank god for MegaDroid, he saved us all.
However, the Tails strip did eventually become 5 pages long, so her demands were met in the end...
But still, XD!!!
sam, i thought better of you! ;_;
(how old is that letter anyway? :P)
XDXDXDXDXDXD
I needed that.
That makes my day all the better.
I have to go offline now, but I think I'm going to have to put images on just to see what everyone finds so funny.
Yes, you do.
While we await the imminent onslaught, I'll just leave this camera to record the bloody and juicy details.
As for me, I'll control the camera from a place far away from here. 
Sam? *blinks*
(Why did I not see this until bedtime?)
Curses! Rumbled!
(And VCP, if you have more early issues, I can't remember the issue numbers that all of my other three letters were published in, but one was in issue 29. ;))
To be honest, I'm surprised that you guys didn't catch this sooner. Back when I first joined the StC list, three people'd recognised my name and asked me about this within 48 hours. Which was fairly impressive when you consider that the letter was over five years old at the time.
It's after midnight and I still need to get in the shower before work tomorrow. But...
*cracks knuckles*
...I WILL return...
A few weeks later Ed Hillyer's body was found deep in a river. The only piece of evidence recovered from the scene was a discarded and broken Sonic Water Fun Game. The case was never solved.
As a great detective (it wasnt Sherlock but he might of said something simmilar) once said:
"There seems to be a pattern here"
*cracks knuckles*
...I WILL return...
DUM DUM DUMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!!!!
WOW.
Sam, let me watch! Lemme watch!!!! >:D
Yikes. Now a MURDER has been added!
(cue the creepy organ music!)
With evidence and accusations mounting like sailors on a Taiwanese call-girl, Sarah "Samanfur" Rose's future seems forever uncertain. Will the bright beam of hope shine a forlorn light on the shadows that encompass her fate?

The wrath of judgement need not go unchallenged!
**giggles**
Okay, that was worth the 10 minute wait ^_^
**gets french fries to eat while waiting for the massacre**
how many sonic water games do you now own, sam? oo;
Augh, cannot lurk in the shadows anymore. Tis so funny I tripped laughing.
*jumps into bomb shelter with Ultra*
The lackey's gonna get maimed and/or killed.
*peers through hole to watch*
Of all people, why Sam? Who'd have thunk?
It's always the quiet ones.
Not sure if this should apply to Sam or not, just tossing ye olde nugget out there.
Those letters are about one decade old. o.o
This is so much fun but it'll end up being a blood bath.

Raise the terror alert to yellow.
I thought that was "Big Bird". ;p
I dun get it!! WAHHHHHH!!!!!!!!11
Seriously, whats the joke?
Who's Megadroid?
Whats with the red X's?
Why Ms. Rose?
What has Sesame Street have to do with it?
Wheres Sam?
WHAT DOES "WHAT U MEEN BY THIS" MEEEEEEN?????
*colapses on ground*
I WANT MY MOMMY!!!!!!!
*huddles in corner in fetal position, sucking thumb*
You don't know of the Oscar, Cookie Monster, Big Bird, Ernie, and Elmo super-squad?
Did I get that right?
No, it's the terrorist alert level. Cookie Monster and/or Grover. Oscar. Big Bird. Some... orange dude. Lastly Elmo. Elmo's the worst of the set.
Ernie would do for the orange dude.
A little known fact...

The creators of Sesame Street were at one point considering killing off the "Ernie" character to teach children about death. Tru dat.
EDIT: Alright, nevermind. They already did that with Mr. Hooper, or whatever. Meh. *kills Ernie anyway*
EDIT 2: Or this HIV-positive gal due to appear on the show soon could be the orange one. Source.
Dangit, why doesn't the image tag work?! GRRRR!! Go to the friggin' link!!!
Edit: Bollocks. I misread.
I KNOW it's a terror alert code spoof. I called them the super-squad because it was funny. >_>
An HIV-positive muppet would be alright in South Africa, I guess, if the virus is so common. But in any other country, I'd think not.
And I am freaking GLAD that Ernie is still alive! He has always been one of my favorites. Grover rules all, though.
....I liked Snuffaluphagus. ;___;
Cookie Monster (before he started eating vegetables) > all monsters & j00
That's my humble opinion. 😀
Okay, the pictures work for me now, so know I get it. Heh.
