They probably won't be able to out-weird the original, in this case. I can't wait to hear that behind the bonus where they find out how hosed up that book gets, though. I have no idea how that thing became considered "literature".

I don't know, some of the stuff that comes out of Spontaneanation (PFT's improv podcast on which the other Superego cast members guest often) is at least as twisted as anything I remember from Stranger.

But yeah, I am definitely looking forward to this one.

You may have read the version his editor cut down to something just really weird. The uncut version published later is extra bonkers.

I hope people just keep sending them 5-pound bags of candy from now on.

"My cat can only eat so much of this."

"Brought to you by adult doo-doo drugs."

Also that rule where a player can't score more than 20 points is some bullshit.

Agreed, since clearly it's the only way they'll get a good number of the Shrimps on mic.

Matt's reaction to seeing his first elbow shot in a basketball game was amazing, like a little kid who watches wrestling and gets adorably mad at the cheating heels.

Oh, we saw this side of Matt last season in the game against the male pro team. He got pissed.

By the end of the season, Matt's going to rush the court to fight a ref, and Mark won't be able to help because he'll be buried in boxes.

The introduction of that Pistol Shrimps letter opener and this prognostication leads to a rather ugly outcome.

Her name is Ingrid Walla (guessing at spelling). She's new to the team and they didn't know who she was at first, so they just started calling her Han M'Boogie.

No, she's the new center they got this season. In the first game she played she didn't have a jersey with her name on it yet.

I came here to chew bubblegum and quote 'They Live', and I'm... at an impasse.
A few things about Tuesday's game vs the Lisas:
--The Lisas had a major changeup from last season, where the Shrimp rolled them by double digits;
--The entire mood in the gym changed after the elbow-to-the-face; what was kind of an evenly split crowd completely abandoned the Lisas.
-Mark got a LOT of stuff. A tremendous amount.

Did the Lisas improve that much or was it just that the Shrimps didn't have Jesse Thomas?

Was the Sock Report as awkward as it sounded? Did that guy really go to rehab?

I think they're setting up a character arc and at the end of the season, they're going to kill off Jensen Karp.

Can't wait for a game where the Shrimps have both Stephanie Allynne and Jesse Thomas on the court :getin:.

If you still doubt they're doing a bit even after Matt gave a recovering addict opiates on the air because their halftime segment was too low-key then I don't know what to tell you.

Also, that was Booty Time from The Adventures of Ford Fairlane that Matt was singing. Tweet him that and become famous.

Turns out the game where the Shrimps both have Allynne and Thomas on the court went pretty much as I excpected. I really hope they can continue the streak.
