AQUA TEEN HUNGER FORCE FOREVER - FINALE WATCHING GAME

AQUA TEEN HUNGER FORCE FOREVER FINALE WATCHING GAME **

Tonight, we celebrate the final episode of Aqua Teen Hunger Force, and bid farewell to the series also known as Aqua Teen Hunger Force Forever, Aqua TV Show Show, Aqua Teen Something You Know Whatever or ATHF, from Adult Swim on Cartoon Network. This show is a source of countless private jokes between my husband and I, and the reason why i made a pilgrimage to Williams Street in Atlanta, Georgia several years ago. Aqua Teen is also quite possibly the only tv program i can recite word for word, karaoke style.

THANK YOU Dave Willis, Matt Maiellaro, Carey Means, Dana Snyder, Ned Hastings, Mike Lazzo and Keith Crofford! Also special thanks to Nick Ingkatanuwat, who has shown me that a person CAN get a real job from an internship, at least outside of Los Angeles. Thanks to you all for all the joy and groans you have brought us!

v & Frylock during happy times.

BEFORE WATCHING THE EPISODE:  
1) All players choose a main character (Master Shake, Meatwad, Frylock or Carl).

2) All players choose a side character (NOT Master Shake, Meatwad, Frylock or Carl) from Season 1 through 10. If playing with a small group, you may choose more than one, but don't forget who your characters are! (For example, Randy the Magnificent = OK, The Hairy Bus = NOT ok.)

WHILE WATCHING THE EPISODE:  

PLAYER TAKES A DRINK EATS KALE when: 

• Player's main character specifically does this: MASTER SHAKE - Uses his hands or raises his eyebrows. MEATWAD - Shape changes or cries. FRYLOCK - Shows his braces or his back jewel. CARL - Runs or smiles.  
• Player's main character or side character dies onscreen.  

PLAYER CHOOSES A DIFFERENT PLAYER TO DRINK EAT KALE when: 

• Player's chosen side character makes its first appearance. 
• Player spots a sight gag or homage to past episode. (For example, in this season/season 11, there was a Broodwich in a pile of junk, and in another episode, at the mall there was a bricked-in hole shaped like a Rabbot.) 

ALL PLAYERS DRINK EAT KALE when in the episode there is: 

• An explosion. 
• A brand new character. 
• An appearance of a George Lowe character or voice. 
• A "celebrity" appears in the episode. (Like Danzig, John Kruk, Andrew WK etc.) 
• A character voiced by David Cross.

Venture by *Kuroi-Tsuki on deviantART

"It's about the beauty of failure. It's about that failure happens to all of us... Every character is not only flawed, but sucks at what they do, and is beautiful at it and Jackson and I suck at what we do, and we try to be beautiful at it, and failure is how you get by... It shows that failure's funny, and it's beautiful and it's life, and it's okay, and it's all we can write because we are big... failures." -Doc Hammer

Kuroi-Tsuki goes on to say: "I love Venture Bros with a passion, it's one of the most amazing comedies out there. If you're not a fan, you're really missing out. Anyway, I can't wait for Season 5."

and ROCK ON, Dr. O!!! woo! huge thanks to THE MANTIS-EYE EXPERIMENT for turning me on to this.

a new way for me and the husband to hang out together

MUSIC-ish: Space Ghost with Radiohead's Thom Yorke (and Björk)

in honour of radiohead's KING O' LIMBS release, i give you this early interview with mr. yorke, courtesy of ADULT SWIM. it's a video rewind!

the holidaze make me think of the crumpus...

'tis actually spelt KRAMPUS. he's a.k.a. the holiday devil!

Gruss vom Krampus / Gruß vom Krampus (Greetings from the Crumpus) Everyone!

"On December 5th and 6th, in Austria, Switzerland, Croatia, Germany and other regions of European, children greet kindly St. Nicholas with his bag of toys and sweets only to find the Saint's devilish assistant trailing behind. Hideously costumed as a devil or wild man with a whipping switch or chains, Krampus comes to frighten the mischievous children into contrition."

...and see more info on this awesome website, KRAMPUS.COM!

SPIDER'S KISS: Venture Bros. cocktail from "Operation P.R.O.M."

's the second drink recipe, as mentioned by JACKSON PUBLICK. on the bump of the VENTURE BROTHERS season finale (the exciting, long-awaited, double-long final season 4 episode that made me a little emotional! plus, SHORE LEAVE is a total badass), Mr. Publick quickly ordered this drink before cutting to commercial:

Spider's Kiss Cocktail

1 oz. green melon liqueur
1 oz. vodka
Squeeze of fresh Lemon
Grenadine (optional)
Chocolate syrup

Draw a chocolate web into a cocktail glass. Place in freezer and chill. Shake melon , vodka and lemon juice and strain into glass. For a blood effect, drizzle grenadine down the side of the glass. Garnish with a chocolate-dipped orange slice.

[BTW here's the drink Doc Hammer ordered in the same bump.]

WE LOVE YOU TOO, MR. HAMMER AND MR. PUBLICK!!!

another Venture Brothers cocktail: HOT MOMMY (Hot Mummy?)

for all you DOC HAMMER - like skinny-minis (whinnies?) out there, here's a drink recipe for the beverage Doc mentioned at the end of the bump during amazingly brilliant, awesome, near-perfect VENTURE BROTHERS season finale on Cartoon Network's Adult Swim (no, not the arsenic in a coconut, sorry!):

Hot Mommy (Skinny Vacation Cocktail)
1 oz. coconut rum (50 calories)
4 oz. club soda (0 calories)
Splash of pineapple juice (16 calories)
Splash of orange juice (14 calories)
Garnish with a fresh slice of pineapple (20 calories)

Total calorie count? Just 100 calories for your fabulous vacation cocktail! Compare that to 530 calories and in the same size pina colada or 740 calories for a margarita...

(Thanks to the HOT MOMMY HAPPY BABY blog for the recipe...)

there is an episode of Aqua Teen called "Sirens"...

and this isn't it.

instead, i present to you the PILLOW-FIGHTING SLAVE LEIAS.

African Swim on Adult Swim

so i'm fast-forwarding past the commercials while watching the VENTURE BROTHERS last night, and i stumble upon a trailer of a crew of rappers dancing onstage like i've never seen before. i hit play and rewind and learn it's a promo for a new area on the Adult Swim website, called AFRICAN SWIM.

(BTW in case you can't see it, the above is supposed to be an mp3 player of African Swim music, with shitty embed code supplied by the shitty website...)

of course, African Swim is completely buried in the "looks-like-i'm-stuck-in-a-tween-stickerbook-and-vomiting-ADD-drugs" craphole known as the Adult Swim website.

i also hate not being able to embed videos from the stupid site. all this being said, if you wanna see something like you've never seen before, check all the videos. to see some incredible dancing, check the JOZI video first!

Venture Brothers preview...

i dunno if i'll be able to watch this on the Wii, but i hope you can watch this online! the new season starts on 1 June 08!!!
