LOL...well, their upper arm/hand strength was the result of all the hours of knitting and crocheting. (Not to mention years of handling Christmas fruitbricks,er..uh,...fruitcakes.)

Just once I wanted to see one of those old lady NPCs wail on a thug with that purse...

And the NPC dialog that the devs stuck in, I think about a year before the end, where you'd overhear a group of Hellions talking, and one of them would be saying "I'm telling you, he _got_ the purse!", lampooning all the mobs latched onto the little old lady's purse for hours, unable to pry it loose.

I once saw a Skull sitting, holding a purse going "I got it!"

They were crystals not bags.  I believe they were relics since the guy on the other end of the tug of war was labeled "relic collector" or something like it.

Yeah, never could have been a bag.  I get a couple of 2 liter sodas from the store and that bag is gonna break.  >:(  No way it stands up to tsoo tug-of-war with the super-old-ladies.

Nahh, they just carried their stuff in shopping bags made of kryptonite. That's how you roll when you're a nerd in a comic book world. ;)
