Dude, ix-nay on the oice-vay.

Yeah. I've seen a dog die from eating a penny (and a quarter). It sucks. The owner said he'd (the dog, not the owner) always eaten coins and just passed them. She didn't know any harm could come from it. She didn't bring him into the vet until a week or so after he ate the penny. Surgery came too late. I think the dissolving copper, or maybe the zinc, was what poisoned him. It was pretty sad.

Here's some petcare advice: Don't let your pets eat coins. You may need that money someday and your pet's bodies will try to digest that money. I don't think shopkeepers will accept half-digested money.

It's a danger with kids too. The zinc can burn a whole through the stomach lining. Also, zinc poisoning is really really lovely (as I found out one day after cutting out a bunch of galvanized piping with a torch).

Why are you giving us a link to the definition of pastiche while calling people 'spergs'? I'm not getting it. And what's with people mentioning that loving vegetable again and again?

Because this "it must literally be making fun of this character" "no it must be making fun of this character" stuff is stupid. Then add the absolutely retarded levels of analysis on top of it, and I have to wonder if some of you even actually enjoy just watching this show.

They felt like making Jake the Snake a computer-illiterate Cobra henchman who fingerbanged the Baroness. They felt like making Storm Shadow a Cosby sweater-wearing dad. They're jokes.

I'm glad there's a non-sperg to tell me how to enjoy a show. That's really not :spergin: at all.

People are going to enjoy this however they want and insisting that we don't dissect every joke and reference is just going to end poorly.

I came up with this one today: The Monarch is actually a 1st generation Rusty clone that didn't come out the way Jonas wanted, so he adopted him out.

My theory is that Jonas wanted a son in order to have the boy-adventurer role filled on his team, so he paid the Monarch's family fucktons of money in order to buy their kid. (And yeah, it falls apart the second you look at J.J.)

Regardless of the plot twists this show has, it's still one of the funniest on TV. The constant storyline cliffhangers just add to the "I gotta watch the next episode ASAP" factor.

Didn't see this one posted but Jackson Publick posted another update on the shirts:

Jackson Publick Tumblr posted:

Hello, valued members of The Venture Bros. Shirt-of-the-Week-Club…

Some of you are wondering: “Where are my shirts?”

The short answer is: “Your shirts will start shipping super-soon.”

As you know, Shirt Club shirts are printed to order—meaning we don’t make a bunch of them ahead of time, and we don’t make more than are ordered. This is why they are so jazzily “limited edition” and coveted by all. It also means we don’t place our order for shirts with our shirt providers until the ordering period for that shirt is closed. For example, the subscriptions and individual ordering period for Week 1’s HankCo and Palaemon shirts ended on June 9th. We tallied, organized, and triple-checked all those orders, then placed our order with our shirt printer on the 11th.

HERE’S THE THING: It is a shitload of shirts. The response to this season’s Shirt Club was so overwhelming that it was, well… frankly overwhelming. American Apparel needed a few extra days to come up with all the blank shirts we needed. And our silk screen printers needed a few extra days to print them. In fact, they’ve been busy at it for a few days now. Compounding the issue was our decision to release TWO different shirt designs in our inaugural week.

But we’re all on top of it now and everything’s on track. The HankCo and Palaemon shirts will be delivered to our Titmouse satellite facility this week, and an eager staff of Honorary AstroBase cadets and Soulbots will immediately begin packing them in ludicrously well-designed custom envelopes, carefully inserting lovingly printed Hankbucks, and sending them on their way. Once they start, shipments will go out at the end of each and every day, insuring we’re getting them to you literally as fast as we possibly can (This is seriously a lot of shirts!).

The order for Week 2’s “U.R.G.H!” shirts has already been placed, and now that everyone knows what to expect and our systems are all in place, things should move a lot smoother for future shipments.

You will all be happy soon. We promise. Like The Venture Bros. itself, VB Shirt Club is worth the wait and eager to please! Ask anyone who was a member last time!

We Love You,

JP
