Fruit Snacks and Fanny Packs 01: We Probably Don’t Read Enough
Saturday, August 2nd, 2008Welcome to Episode 1 of Fruit Snacks and Fanny Packs! In this episode we talk about fruit snacks, fanny packs, Mario Kart, music, movies, and emotions. Enjoy!
—————–
Notes on our first podcast:
Justin is too quiet and Tony is too loud.
Justin feels that he is an arse and says the word ‘like’ far too many times. Justin apologizes for this pleonasm and will attempt to rectify this in episode three. Also, anyone who counts the number of times Justin uses the word ‘like’ will get a very special prize.
We also failed to mention a few things: My favorite Mario Kart weapon is the Blue Shell. IT IS MIGHTY!! (Although not as mighty as The Tick) The blue shell is the very essence of Mario Kart. Only players in about 6th place or worse are capable or receiving this winged and deadly spiked shell. Once fired, it races through the air and finds the current first place racer! It smashes the player and anyone close enough to feel its mighty impact!! This brilliant weapon makes Mario Kart a more balanced game as players who are nearing last place will have a drastically increased chance to get great items while players closer to first place will stumble upon less useful ones. Everyone is happy. I even find myself glad to be in last place at times just so I get a chance at using some super creative Mario Kart items!!
Tony’s favorite weapon would be the TRIPLE red shells. This ultimate offensive weapon gives its user the capability to fire off three devastating homing red shells. Defensively, these shells can spin around the racer creating an effective shield which blocks up to three attacks, one per shell! A player in fourth place can quickly use these homing demons to boost his way to first place! When the roulette of items stops on triple red shells, any racer can do nothing but smile as old school Mario characters go flying in helplessness due to the destructive power of red shells or as they deflect three of most any attack!! (Can’t deflect the blue shell though)
Also, we apologize for being so ignorant in regards to classic literature, but we are so busy entertaining the various needs of life we rarely find time to actually read EVERY SINGLE WORD in any given book. With the exception of Star Wars books. Because Han and Leia have babies.
