I've seen fun you people wouldn't believe.
Tiki torches on fire off the summit of Kilauea.
I watched disco balls glitter in the dark near the Brandenburg Gate.
All those moments will be lost in time, like crowds in rain.

Time to sleep.

Listening to the podcast, particularly the bit about kids and ketchup, I can only imagine how Rusty would have acted with Hank and Dean as toddlers. He was a single father, with just HELPeR and Brock, right? I'm sure that at least one of the boys' deaths happened during their early childhood.

Did you guys get shipping notices or did the shirts just appear?
I'm also curious to know if the Hank bucks will be used for anything.

Whoa weird, mine are all green, not white and green like that.

For some reason the angle and lighting made them look weird, they are indeed dark green on a lighter green.

I can already tell that the HankCo shirt is going to get some mileage out of it, I really do like just the simple logo style shirts. I'll wait until the Destiny one arrives to make my decision, but I think that one might go straight in the "resell" pile. :/

So I'm dumb and thought that the Apollo reference was the the Apollo 1, and that it meant L Ron was really responsible for the fire, and that they were worried for Wally because he was part of the backup crew.

But it being Apollo 7 probably makes more sense, since Wally was actually on that one and since Team Venture probably stopped whatever L Ron had planned. :downs:

Go to hell Ron, L Ron.

Well, Rusty seems to like coming up with those cocktails and having other people taste them.

Hank, on the other hand, just seems to want to scam people and so comes up with fancy names and descriptions for dishes that are worthless, and have people pay high price for it.

Yeah, I would've got one if it was the same as Hank's from the show.



At this point I'm holding out for an Orpheus shirt, but that's looking pretty unlikely.

The last three episode titles and descriptions have been released!

"The Devil's Grip" (July 21st) - Dr. Venture is presumed dead; Hank and Dean are sent to live with their godfathers.

Maybe 21 got a job serving cocktails in Madripoor? And has a drunken hook up with a member of the Hand? Stranger things have happened.

Of course I don't think they even pay attention to these things, nor really should they. I thought the anticlimactic end of SPHINX was on par with the Orb in terms of deliberate nose-thumbing

There were 10 episodes for this season but the double length premier counts as two and the Halloween special counts as one more.

In the Halloween episode Venture took the idea for his one drink (Ketchup and scotch?) from Hanks dumb drink from the Halloween when Dean was a vampire. I think they borrow from each other.
