CRACKED ROUND-UP: Peppermint Schnapps Edition
The nice thing about peppermint schnapps is the alcohol in it is nearly undetectable when mixed with hot chocolate. The not-so-nice thing about peppermint schnapps is the way it smells mixed with chocolate and puke in the backseat of some prostitute's volkswagon. Oh well. It's seasonal!
This week Soren managed to find some people even more horrifying than Cracked staffers: rich pet owners. Chris Bucholz interfaced with his Xbox and learned some terrifying lessons about the nature of sentience. Brockway answered our childhood questions by showing what happens when the characters from Street Fighter 2 get blitzed. Seanbaby closed us off with ten comedy performances that could never be recast. No, Gene Wilder isn't in there. It's assumed.

Notable Comment:"One thing this doesn't point out (I suppose cuz it isn't really important to the article) is that Splinter's origin is very different in the original comics. He was not a human ninja master mutated into a rat. He was the pet rat of that ninja master, who learned ninja stuff from watching the master. The master was then killed, and the pet rat was later mutated into Splinter. In the comic, he is seeking revenge for the death of his master."
Thanks, eshuster, for further confirmation that our childhoods were built on lies.

Notable Comment:"My GOD that SnorgTees woman... Waitaminute, what were we talking about again? Amputations or something? Yeah, that's fine..."
Simmer down, spiderjerusalem, all the Snorg girls are actually highly advanced cybernetic kill-bots, operated by the government. They lease them out as T-Shirt models to help with the deficit.

Notable Comment: "You can tell my generation got their foot in the military. We're making our childhood memories come true. The Kitty-shot is from the Last Boy Scout. The Transformer is from M.A.S.K. And the human torpedo is from "Metal Gear Solid". I'm just gonna sit back and wait for the Marines to start using gunblades, now."
If Pelcurus is right, that blob thing may all be part of an insidious plot designed by Katamari Damacy fans at DARPA.
