All I want for Christmas...

Skeleteens are back! Blue Brainwash is being made again! And can be ordered once more, without having to find some fly-by-night company that had it sitting in Warehouse 23 or on some forgotten dusty shelf.

I feel like Wolverine at the end of the third part of his four-part series. Yukio's managed to escape, I've slain the members of the hand, and the zen garden's torn to shit. Broken glass and dead ninjas everywhere. But I run my fingers through the pebbles, a new pattern emerges, and Brainwash becomes easily purchasable again.

Good times.

What a coincidence. I recently ordered six bottles of Rat Bastard Root Beer as a Christmas present for a friend of mine.

I've had no prior dealings with Skeleteens. I'm guessing they're quite skilled in supercharging beverages.

Blue Brainwash, you say? Hmm...

I've heard that Brainwash makes you crap blue.

If it's anything like other blue foods, it'll make you crap green.

It actually depends on the amount of navy blue Brainwash consumed and the amount of non-Brainwash liquids or solids consumed. When I've not eaten and had nothing but Brainwash for days, my urine was pretty close to blue. When I've had a normal diet, my wastes were green.

It has so much dye it stains things. Seriously. I spent studying periods with blue teeth, fingers, and chin.

I used to be a Brainwash pusher at [livejournal.com profile] drewuniversity my freshman year. Sold it to people on my floor, running a competing business with Dan Kahn. While he had more variety, I sold only the finest of uppers. One of my loyal customers even got Burd to try Brainwash.

Blue Brainwash is the finest of their drinks, with a large amount of a wide variety of stimulants, and a great blueberry jalapeƱo taste.

That was beautiful.

Do you remember that moment in the series?

I once had a long conversation with a drunk friend back in high school, while going through an existential crisis, where he brought up that period of self-discovery for our favorite little scrapper. Nothing else has helped me rationalize my place in the universe so well until Terence McKenna.

Actually, no. I've read my share of Wolverine comics, but I don't think I ever read that particular bit. <chris farley>But, you can imagine what it would be like if I did, right?</chris farley>

It comes from the four-part Wolverine series. Read a decent review here.

The scene I'm referring to is a powerful one.
