Mystery Of The Ancients ... Solved!

When I visited Benny in Austin last month, I blogged a (tiny) bit about the Aqua Teen Hunger Force. When I came back to Seattle, I was still giggling about how frickin' hysterically funny the show is - in particular, the "Universal Remonster" episode from Season Three.

The "Remonster" bit was captured as an MPEG on the Internet, and the file has spread like lightning through UWBS. (It was particularly virulent during the Stearns Direct Marketing Craziness ... nothing like a project that keeps you until 4:30 AM to make your team punchy, punchy punchy). Today, there's a better-than-80% chance of overhearing someone in the lounge as they quote the crazy German alien (the orange one) defending his copyright-ripoff activities ("No! Can you not see? She has a mohawk and wheelchair! We are NOT getting SUED!").

Anyhow. Today, one of the Ancient Mysteries Of The Universe has been solved (I love the Internet). Turns out the aliens have a name collectively ("The Plutonians") and individually (Ogelthorpe is the German one, Emory is the mellow green one). So, you know, that's a relief. Or something.

(If you have not yet seen ATHF, get thee to a local video store and rent Volume Two. Pop in "Universal Remonster." Repeat. You'll love it.)
