Gamma Bomb

Credit for the creation of this idea goes to Tom and Brother Dan. I'll let Tom edit the post and fill in the details of its creation. All I can say is I tested this creation in it's weaker form and it's awesome.

This recipe, when concocted properly, creates an awesome green hue reminiscent of the Incredible Hulk. It's name is derived from the Marvel vs. Capcom video game. The Incredible Hulk's Special/Finishing Move was the Gamma Bomb. He would leap off screen and come back down with a giant boulder which he used to crush his foe. It was unstoppable and knocked you on your ass.

After having a few on Saturday night, I can say that the drink mimics the move (and I had the light version using Vodka). The best evidence of this drink's awesomeness came the morning after our testing sessions when my wife said "Ugh, I can still taste Gamma Bomb in my mouth" Combined with the fact that no one wanted orange juice the next morning means this idea gets an A+


The Gamma Bomb
Add 1 shot Grain Alcohol (where unavailable, Vodka will do) over orange juice and ice. Add just a splash of Blue Curacao and mix. (Perfect Hulk Green! - Tom)

Handle with Caution! Best advice is to use this drink between other, easier to handle, drinks and not to have seven or eight in a row, especially if you are using the grain alcohol. Or the next morning you may find yourself angry... and we wouldn't like you when you're angry.

It is all in the name...

I proposed to the guys that we get into some space real estate. And what better place to buy than the planet Uranus. While it may seem juvenile, what planet could we better market? I mean Saturn has rings, Jupiter is big, and Mercury is a great place to get a tan, but Uranus...its in the name. So after that we talked about what we could put on bumper stickers. And here are some of our ideas...

"Welcome to Uranus"
"You Don't Know the Sun From Uranus"
"Cheer Up. Even the Sun shines on Uranus sometimes"
"Nothing is more famous than the ring around Uranus"
"You won't believe the gas on Uranus"

If you'd like a bumper sticker, let us know. We'll design it and get it to you.

MASK The Movie

It is high time that I write about one of my favorite cartoons growing up. While Transformers, GI Joe, and He-Man hit more of a mass popularity, MASK was always one of my most beloved cartoons growing up. With CGI and good actors, I think this could make a fabulous movie. You have MASK vs. VENOM and vehicles that transform. That is awesome.

I think the story should be that of an origin story. While the story can be deemed somewhat prototypical (is that a word?), you have a team set out to do good until one of their own wants more power and creates a team of adversaries for the "good" team. In this case, Miles Mayhem is part of MASK until he turns face, steals some masks, and starts his own criminal organization called VENOM. I think its always cool in the movie when each team recruits their own members and then you see this team put together. So while MASK is somewhat intact, I would like to see Miles put together a VENOM team in order to compete with MASK. After the formation of the teams VENOM gets word of something and tries to steal it. I know that is really, really descriptive but I am just trying to outline things here.

Now, the tricky thing would be deciding on who to have in the movie and who to cast. Here is my list so far. Now, I know I can't have everyone but hey...that is what sequels are for. I am trying to think of a cast...and that is what comments are for.

MASK
Matt Trakker - Thunderhawk
Scott Trakker
T-Bob
Bruce Sato - Rhino
Alex Sector - Rhino
Gloria Baker - Shark
Brad Turner - Condor
Hondo McLean - Fire Cracker
Julio Lopez - Firefly

VENOM
Miles Mayhem - Switchblade
Sly Rax - Piranha
Vanessa Warfield - Manta
Bruno Shepard - Stinger
Nash Gorey - Outlaw
Lester Sludge - Iguana
Floyd Malloy - Vampire

So what do you think...do I smell a movie deal?
