Last night, some sick freak stole your combination DVD and VCR. How will you watch the goddamn Snorks now? You have episodes on VHS and a FULL season on DVD, but it’s not on any streaming platform. Amazon Prime has a PAGE for Snorks, but says it’s unavailable. This injustice makes you want to PUKE.

You chase down a FOUL character, Vinny the Squealer, and corner him in an alleyway. You reach behind your leather jacket, unsheathing your signature katana. As you grab Vinny’s shirt, his thin mustache reflected in your mirrored blade, he nervously lives up to his NAME. But he’s mumbling, and hard to hear…

“Ohhh, hey… you… So, uh, word on the street is that you’re… uh, extremely _____. I don’t blame you, alright? This was an ____ crime. If someone stole my 11 year old DVD-VCR combo player… where the VCR ate every other tape… but it had uh, sentimental value, I guess, I’d be upset, too. Maybe I wouldn’t… kill a guy, but, but, uh… I don’t know nothin’ about who did it, and I ain’t _____ to you! You ain’t gonna _____ me, right? Uh, please?”

Get Vinny to name the thief! Fill in the blanks above with the correct Fightin’ Words below.
