Rewatching Venture Bros. again and was thinking about Hank as the Bat and how he basically was Batman (skills speaking at least).

Remember the episode with Venturestien and U.R.G.H**.** (United Repressed Grotesque Humanity)? His bat skills really came out in that episode or was it all those coffee beans he ate?

I think it’s just Hank being Hank? He was always skilled for some reason though. The episode where he basically passes S.P.H.I.N.X** **exam?

I think Dr. Rusty Venture purposely gave him better abilities than Dean? Rusty did say “I see so much of myself in that boy.” This could be his ego-syntonic** **version that he see as himself?

So this is interesting. Last week, in the US (northeast), we received an emergency alert on our phones for a tornado warning.

Small storm came out of nowhere and storm didn’t last long or wasn’t even that bad, but I was understand why (I’d rather get warnings I don’t need than no warnings at all).

So my thought is, are we slowly being conditioned about warnings? So that we no longer even look at what they say?

Then, when the big dogs eat, the clock strikes midnight , the warnings go off and no one’s even cares?

Season 4, episode 13 titled "Bright Lights, Dean City.”

I never really care about this episode the first time through (I liked Hank’s and HankCo episode better). I know stupid.

NOW I think it’s my favorite episodes. And the scene with the Serial Killer Bear…

I’ve always been a “Venture Bros” fan, but was never able go to comic con, over a decade, to find these toys.

Anyone else try to play “how many movie titles can you match up?”

Almost got 2 full columns!

This is what I do immediately after I get a decent tip.

Probably doesn’t do anything, but I pretend it locks in the tip and the customer can’t change it after you “thank them.”

Any thoughts?

So I’m in the produce section and see all these fruits: grapes, watermelon, oranges, etc. that all say “seedless.”

One’s mind immediately goes to that’s convenient, but thinking deeper, I thought, is this to keep us from growing our own food?

I recently started a garden this year and fear I’m probably too late.

So I went out of town once, they had a gf cafe and they made everything from BUCKWHEAT.

Buckwheat pancakes, waffles, bread for delicious breakfast sandwiches, and the list goes on…

It was so good I thought I had consumed real bread/gluten and they were just lying to me.

But no issues, so back home all I can find is one brand of buckwheat flour and it’s not even gluten free (cut with real flour).

Research lead me to the crop itself, where I learned not only is it difficult to grow, but harvesting it is the real challenge (special machines and junk are needed). This explain the price tag too.

So I guess my questions are:

Is it really gluten free, right?

Who knows anymore information about buckwheat? Like and bread companies that make it where I can order it from? Like I said I’m from small town with limited options.

Buckwheat flour recipes?

Who else could not wait to take the newest issue of CCS to school!

This could only happen to me:

I was outside doing yard work when I cut my hands (yes both) trying to replace weed wacker wire/string.

I came rushing inside to use the sink. My right hand was cut far worse on my palm. In my bloody crisis I had not realized my wife had flour out by the sink. She never had flour out, but she was making regular cookies for a baby shower.

As I was washing off my right hand in the sink, I had put my left hand on the counter, right in the flour. Why I’d do this idk? I really don’t know why, my brain was in panic mode.

The left hand that went in the flour ended up having a pretty decent cut too. Not enough for stitches but enough to make a lil pink dough ball on my hand.

So can gluten get in bloodstream and cause damage and flareups?

This is not cool! Not cool at all.

50 units and 12.4 miles away with no tip?

You risking people f***ing with your groceries!

So “No shit” is a pretty sought after comment.

Here I’ll tee someone up?

Trumps super weird.

I haven’t been able to cherry pick therefore I haven’t made a dime in weeks.

Anyone else staying poor?

These aren’t like the greatest, but they are a FUN eat!
