Hibbloes posted:"Hey...what flavor is this fog.. it's making me hungry" That took me back. I've been in bands for years (decades, really), and one thing you learn early on is that there shall be no gig without fog. Sometimes it's a lot. Sometimes it's a little. But it's so ubiquitous that after a while, I would only notice the fog if it wasn't present. Anyway, for a long time, the liquid used in every fog machine at every venue I played at was coconut scented. It was always coconut. If you were in the audience, it was so faint that you might not notice, but on stage, it was all you could smell. Well, that and cigarettes, because for the first several years that I played out, you could legally smoke inside Illinois bars. But mostly coconut. So when St. Cloud is asking what that scent (sorry... flavor) is, I had to pause it so I could giggle and reminisce. I know what it's like to spend a lot of time in a cloud that smells vaguely like fruit.

I've been a big fan of all of Venture Bros.' music references over the years, but I was really tickled by the King Diamond line in reference to David Grohl. Pretty unexpected laugh. A Killing Joke line would of been even better, but I'm sure its day will come.

If was the Monarch, I'd have gotten St Cloud to get rid of the Cloud Gimmick and gone with his collector persona. He could have the Staff of Ra made that shoots light and an army of Twekies.

I'm not sure the Monarch is enough of a collector to have that idea. Gary on the other hand... And let's be frank, St Cloud had that gimmick when he was arching Conjectural Technologies out in the loving desert and could use stuff like the Truckasaurus without getting into trouble with the OSI.

Man, the scene of St Cloud breaking into Billy's moms house is one of my top scenes in the entire show. His mom almost certainly beat St Cloud to an inch of his life.

As I said earlier when the spoilers were up, St Cloud is lucky that Action Man is still in the hospital, he probably would have gotten the Turnbuckle treatment Or for that matter that he caught Colonel Gentleman in a good mood, otherwise he'd potentially be missing some parts

I love how you can tell that St Cloud is just making GBS threads himself in fear in that scene. Also, the Monarch talking about being on the X-2 being "his childhood" is probably more correct than he thinks, because they're talking about it from the TV show.

Collecting pop culture items and using them inappropriately would be a much better arch than pineapple scented fog and talking about rubbers.

Cojawfee posted:Collecting pop culture items and using them inappropriately would be a much better arch than pineapple scented fog and talking about rubbers. Yeah, but they're in New York now. You can't just drive Truckasaurus around, chew up Billy's trailer, then invite him over the next day to continue the arch, making him watch you clean your butt crack with a beloved puppet. You gotta go big or go home. You need that pineapple cloud. You must taunt them with a theme-appropriate remark, even if you end up using a word with two meanings that is easily misinterpreted. You better throw that gas canister. And dammit, if you don't pull that PENIS, then I WILL PULL IT FOR YOU AND MAKE YOU WATCH!! ... Anyway... it just dawned on me how this was like a children's soccer game. You have the parents on the sidelines, apparently taking the whole thing way more seriously than the kids are, and you have trash-talking, and you have the proud papas watching their kids dribble and take shots for the first time... and they let them have their moment of glory at the end, even if all that really happened was some embarrassing playing ending in a nap.

Sometimes you see something in a TV show or movie that seems so silly and ridiculous that you think it's obviously just a joke, and then later you find out it's real. Flavored Fog is one of those things for me. In retrospect it seems obvious that it's real, if you're going to be spending a lot of time in a lot of fog you're going to want that fog to smell fairly pleasant, but if you had asked me before reading the above post if the fog stage performers use had scent I would have said "nah man, that's just crazy venture brothers stuff".

OK people, this has been bugging me ever since I noticed it : is there anything to the way Sirena wears her watch, on the inside of her wrist rather than the outside? Is it common? Is it just a random preference? Is it something that works on gender lines (I can already think of a stupid reason why men would wear it on the outside)? Am I obsessing over something meaningless?

A lot of people wear their 'watches' like that because they're health trackers pulling double duty and that makes HR monitoring easier since the main sensor's resting against the radial pulse.

My dad’s been a mechanic most of his life and wears watches with the face inside his wrist because he kept breaking the glass while working if he had it facing out.

Read that as 'human resources' monitoring first and was reminded that we're on the cusp of a nightmare hellscape where employers require wearing monitors as a prerequisite to receiving health care benefits.

It was also a common 80s girl stylistic choice, and SIrena seems like a legwarmers and New Wave kinda girl. (She can recognize a Bad outfit; she must know 80s pop).

feetnotes posted:...To tell what time it is? Why would that be a weird thing for a young woman to do? It's once every 12 or 16 hours, or maybe 8... something like that. And I don't see a problem with a woman wearing a watch. It's not clear if it's a regular watch, a super-fancy Rolex (or other ultra expensive) watch, a fitness watch, or a smart watch. But in any event, I also don't see a woman wearing a watch as a weird thing. Of course, I'm old. I think it's dumb not to wear a watch "because I have a clock on my phone, duh!" So then every time you need to know what time it is, you pull your phone out, look at it, and put it away? That's not a better solution, whippersnappers. That is exactly the reason that the wristwatch was invented--so people could stop digging a clock out of their pockets when they wanted to know what time it was.

Watches are a fashion accessory - they aren't very good at telling the time compared to a phone but they look cool and can be coordinated with your outfit !!
