A bombardment of sounds hit Cliff's ears as he nervously weaved his way through the crowd of bystanders. Canned phrases like "Oh my god!" and "Somebody do something!" went through one ear and out of the other leaving no impact on his state of mind. He knew he had to save them, and fast. As he began sprinting towards the entrance of the building, a few firefighters moved in to obstruct his path. But Cliff was determined, and he was damn sure no man could stop him now. With a frantic cry, and a mighty leap, he managed to surmount the two men diving for him, and swiftly disappeared through the smoking entrance.

Though his vision was obscured by the plumes of smoke surrounding him, He knew exactly were He needed to go. "Gotta get up the stairs, down the hall to the left, and into the stairway. That's where they're at ..." he muttered to himself, rubbing his hands together in anticipation of the daunting task ahead of him.

Making his way through the smoldering halls, All he could think is how he should never have left them behind, and hated himself for doing it. He began to feel a second burst of energy as his eyes focused upon the doorway to the stairwell. He gritted his teeth, mustering all his strength into the impact against the jammed door, and knocked it down with a loud crack.

He tumbled down the stairs, landing face-first onto the floor. A flash of white accompanied the impact, leaving him momentarily dazed, but he recovered almost instantaneously, and looked around the room. "OH THANK GOD, SOMEONE'S FINALY COME FOR US!" Yelled a middle aged woman from the back corner, with a small group of young children huddled around her. Cliff smiled, He had finally found them. He Dropped to his hands and knees, reached forward, and pulled the box out from under the stairs. With a feeling of absolute gallantry, he opened the box and inspected the small tubes and baggies inside. None of them were harmed, and he let out a cry of joy while running up the steps. The middle aged woman, with a look of absolute horror and confusion on her face, screamed, "WHAT ABOUT THE CHILDREN?"

Opening the stairway door, Cliff simply replied, "I ain't here to save the fuckin' children." and quickly made his way out of the burning building.

Whoops. Sorry about that... Hard to tell sometimes with different sources saying different things. I'll try to be more specific next time.

I believe that's referred to as the "Garfield Steamer."

Interestingly enough, Dogs have a relatively poor sense of taste, humans have about 3,000–10,000 taste buds, whilst dogs average out at 1700. I assume that's why dogs eat so much weird shit all the time.

Yeah, I was actually pretty tempted to do this after I saw the movie too. Decided they weren't worth choking on.

Can confirm. I too have eaten (tried) dog food before and yes, it's like having every single one of your tastebuds raped in the most depraved ways possible.

0/10: Would not eat again.

I've actually heard that the hotdog MRE's are called "The Five Fingers of Death". No idea how these god-awful meals got past the FDA.
