On this installment of B Town Stories, we delve into the origin of some super heroes and other crap about space creatures and shit. 

Transcript

SPEAKER_02 0:19

Hello, Bremertonians. Welcome back to B Town Stories with Schnazzle and Jerry. I'm Schnazzle. Hello. I'm Jerry. Welcome back to B Town Stories. We're here to uh regale you with some more Bremerton storage about the best city in the world, Bremerton, Washington. Ain't that right, Jerry Lagar? Well. Maybe not the best.

SPEAKER_05 0:45

Maybe not the best. But uh, you know, it's a it's a it's a nice place to raise your kids, you know. Once it was the most livable city.

SPEAKER_02 0:56

This is a great story. Should we just get into this one before we start a topic? Let's just talk about real quick. Okay. Yeah. So this is very interesting. And I think maybe in a later episode we should expound on this, but in 1990, Money Magazine declared Bremerton, Washington as the most livable city in America.

SPEAKER_05 1:18

And every motherfucker around here took that as the gospel.

SPEAKER_02 1:23

Yeah. So like I I remember I was walking around with my dad. You know, like we're going to Eagle Hardware. He'd be like cashing out, you know, and just like, you know, that'll be $14.99. He'd be like, yeah, here you go. And Bremerton, huh? Most Libri City in America. Whatever, it's cool. Yeah. Have a good one. You know? Just every like family pancake house. You just like hear these, you know, most livable city in America. Yeah. Got a house here. Yeah.

SPEAKER_05 1:52

Yeah. I wonder how many people moved here because of that. That'd be an interesting thing to delve into and look into the like the like population increase around that time.

SPEAKER_02 2:03

Totally, dude. It was like a full-on. I could distinctly remember it was like the talk of the town, not just for that year, but like for many years after. So still today, people still talk about it.

SPEAKER_05 2:12

And that's what's really funny is like at that time, Bremerton, West Bremerton specifically, was a fucking ghost town. It was like there was all the businesses had moved to the fucking mall. Like it was shut down. Like there was the punk palace and like fucking the um drift on in, uh, one other like ghetto bar. Yeah. And cheers. There was cheers down there. And JCPenney's closed down, Woolworths closed down, all the other you know, I mean, there was tattoo shops, a fucking laundromat, and bars.

SPEAKER_02 2:48

Like the the most lucrative business was Elmo's.

SPEAKER_05 2:51

Yeah, pretty much.

SPEAKER_02 2:53

But dude, so Josh tells me one day, and this is super fascinating to me. You heard that this, like the auspice under which this article was written, was kind of a happenstance visit to town, right? It was. Tell me about that.

SPEAKER_05 3:10

So my history teacher, was he history? Yeah, history teacher at um Olympic when I was in 11th grade, Mr. Dan Smith.

SPEAKER_02 3:21

Oh, I I like Mr. I love Mr. Smith.

SPEAKER_05 3:23

Yeah, he was cool. He gave us licorice. But I might have talked about this before, but he would just like let us just fucking shoot the shit about bullshit all day instead of learning about history or anything. Dude, Mr.

SPEAKER_02 3:38

Richardson only used to write me hall passes to smoke.

SPEAKER_05 3:40

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 3:41

Fucking legend.

SPEAKER_05 3:42

There were some cool ones. But uh, so anyway, what happened was he told us um his wife's cousin came here to visit them specifically, and he was a column writer for Money Magazine, and they actually lived on Bainbridge Island. Oh, so uh he stays with them on Bainbridge, and like which is like Dungeness Crab, I bet.

SPEAKER_02 4:10

Yeah, like his fucking wines and dines on it.

SPEAKER_05 4:13

Yeah, and like there's zero crime on Bainbridge at this time, you know. Like, I don't know if there probably isn't any more. Yeah, but uh, so he just has this great experience. They take him not to Bremerton, and like since it's the only real city, yeah, he just says, Oh, I stayed in Bremerton. So anyway, he goes back home. He's like, I had such a pleasant vacation over there that I'm gonna write this article about how great Bremerton is, you know. And he never went down to fucking Pacific or fucking tallow, like he never even went down there, never went to West Park, never got shot at.

SPEAKER_02 4:50

Fucking like that's hilarious. That's such a cool urban legend. I'd like to make a short documentary about that, yeah.

SPEAKER_05 4:56

And then uh, so he's just like talks it up in this article. I don't know. I remember reading part of the article because Mr. Smith had the magazine, he had it like on a little framed thing on his fucking desk, and uh it was just you know saying everything good about the area, nothing about Bremerton, the city specifically, just the like surrounding suburban areas.

SPEAKER_02 5:22

And then the game of telephone made it like an urban legend for everybody, yeah.

SPEAKER_05 5:26

Exactly. Like 99% of people that fucking heard that never read the article or knew why it happened or anything like that.

SPEAKER_02 5:34

Like, you know that guys at the gym were like showering up and then just like getting out and just like drying their balls off, going like, yeah, see the article, Bremerton. Speaking of drying your balls, oh yeah, this is also a phenomenon.

SPEAKER_05 5:51

The other day, I'm leaving the gym and I go in the bathroom to take a piss really quick. There's a dude completely stark naked with one foot up on the fucking counter.

SPEAKER_02 6:05

Tell me, this is a thing, dude. Like this is the first time you've ever seen it.

SPEAKER_05 6:09

Yes, and he has his fucking purple hairdryer plugged into the fucking wall, and he's drying his fucking taint.

SPEAKER_02 6:18

I was like, what the fuck? Dude, it's an old guy thing at gyms. Like, I've seen it literally a hundred times.

SPEAKER_05 6:25

Are they just trying to kill the sweat down there?

SPEAKER_02 6:27

I don't know why they do, like, I don't know, but like it's like there's like an outlet by the sink, and they take the they have a like somehow like a massive fucking conair, like coarse air hair dryer, and just like you gotta put the leg up, yeah, and just like fully naked, dude, like bent over, like drying your balls. Like, I don't know how that's a thing, but like a lot of these dudes don't even have hair on their head, so they only have the fucking blow dryer to blow dry their balls.

SPEAKER_05 6:57

So, yesterday I'm in the bathroom at home in the comfort of my own home, and I just happened to see a hairdryer sitting over there, and I was like, Come on, I'm gonna tell me you did it. I'm gonna try it. I'm gonna dry. So I had to go over to the sink and like splash some water on my balls and shit just to get them a little damp, you know? And uh sure enough though, man, that felt great. I put my I put my underwear down to jump.

SPEAKER_02 7:25

I mean, like, did you really try it? No. Oh, okay.

SPEAKER_05 7:28

But uh it'd be a lot cooler if I did.

SPEAKER_02 7:30

Do you want to make a deal with me that we'll both try it one of these days? Because I've got a hair dryer here somewhere.

SPEAKER_05 7:36

Yeah, try it at the gym. No, yeah, do it gym. No, uh yeah, I'm not really into the whole exposing.

SPEAKER_02 7:46

But yeah, no, it's a total thing, dude. And it's exclusively with like boomers. You know what I mean? It's a real than me.

SPEAKER_05 7:53

Like, he was not a boomer. He was like gen, whatever. Really? What's after us? Y and X and Z? It's so weird, dude. No, we're X.

SPEAKER_02 8:02

Anyways. Um, what were we talking about? Well, we were so we were supposed we were supposed to talk about how uh how dangerous Bremerton is. Oh, yeah, how much injuries people get here.

SPEAKER_05 8:14

Yeah, man.

SPEAKER_02 8:14

So let's segue into that.

SPEAKER_05 8:16

Okay. Uh well, go ahead. Let's just say I burned my chode drying it with a dryer because I was in Bremerton, that's why.

SPEAKER_02 8:27

No, but like, so ostensibly, this is a kind of an interesting thing that we could pitch to our listeners to talk about and to think about specifically, like kind of growing up in Bremerton, all the times you got hurt, like be it a fist fight, be it a skateboarding accident, or being it just like you know, rough housing, or it was just a real hands-on people were just getting fucked up all over town. Like, remember, you know what I mean? Like, it was just that it has a hard it's because Bremerton's hard as fucking nails.

SPEAKER_05 8:59

Yeah. No, I it just like our generation grew up outside, playing outside, like fucking doing shit outside, and like outside's kind of dangerous if you're fucking not giving a fuck what you're doing, you know. Totally.

SPEAKER_02 9:14

Like one night I was super drunk and I jumped out of a I the like I did I wanted to go to this other party, and people were like, dude, don't go to the fucking party, bro. Don't just stay in. I'm just like, you don't understand me, you don't know me, bro. And of course, I did the stupidest thing, got in, and then like I was in the back of this truck, and I barely remember this. I was almost fully blacked out, but uh, there was like somebody in this this guy and his girlfriend, like their car ran out of gas on the side of the road, and I was just like, fuck you! And then, you know, fuck you, Dad. They're already having like the worst night ever. And like I jump out and start fighting this guy. His girlfriend, I guess, hits me in the head with a gas can, and then they smashed my face like with a gas can till I was like unconscious. And uh I just got my like my my nose was broken, like I had a deviated septum my entire life up until like a year ago.

SPEAKER_05 10:12

Wait, so you got mad at them because they ran out of gas?

SPEAKER_02 10:16

No, I they were just there on the side of the road, so I was just like talking shit like a dumbass.

SPEAKER_05 10:20

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, okay.

SPEAKER_02 10:22

But it's I got what was coming to me. Yeah, yeah. Like my whole face was like, but so like just stuff like that is you know, happening in Bremerton all the time. Yeah, you know, but I think you're the king of injuries, you've fucking been like ran over by a semi and a bus and a car.

SPEAKER_05 10:40

No, like, yeah, just like always fucking in the hospital or something for something. Most of my like juvenile life or my adolescence, like started out fucking spinal meningitis, living in an incubator for like a year in the hospital. Wow, verge of death, like 120 fucking temperature, like my brain's boiling. They're like telling my parents, oh, we're sorry to tell you this, but your son's gonna die.

SPEAKER_02 11:13

Your son's gonna die unless we bring a uh a hairdryer here and cool down his balls. His balls are too hot.

SPEAKER_05 11:23

That's where it all went wrong. It fucking torched my nuts, but uh so uh anyway, I made it out of there, and they're I made it out of the woods, so to speak, and they're telling my parents, oh, your son's gonna definitely be like this. Was before everyone was PC, so they said, Your son's gonna be a retard, is what they said to my parents. And uh he was like, and um um did they really say that to you?

SPEAKER_02 11:54

That that they told my information they relayed back to you.

SPEAKER_05 11:56

My parents told me this later when I when when I turned out to not be retarded or mentally challenged.

SPEAKER_02 12:03

And that's when the doctor came to me and said, Your son's gonna be a retailer.

SPEAKER_05 12:10

That's like literally what they said, and uh yada yada yada made it out of there, and I was riding a bike like a really early age, and they're like, He's out there riding a bike, he's not retarded. You better change your prognosis, buddy. So, anyway, uh, must have been fucking five years old. I the first no, I was probably four, ran out the front of the house, slipped on the fucking cement, ripped my chin open, blood just spurting out of my chin, had to go to the hospital. I if I don't have a beard, I you can see this huge scar across my chin from there. And then after that, I was playing on the swing set in the backyard. It's probably like maybe a year later, and uh standing on this little like seesaw type thing where one person is supposed to sit on one side and one on the other, and you hold these poles in the middle and you swing back and forth. But I was standing one foot on one side and one foot on the other with my hands on both the poles. Amazing, and uh, I lost my balance and went to grab the top of the swing set and got my finger stuck in the fucking in the gears when it swung up and it like cut the top of my finger off. And uh just sitting there, it was only being held on by my fingernail. And I run in the house and hold my finger and it's just squirting blood all over my mom. She's like, oh my god! That was in the hospital.

SPEAKER_02 13:39

I had a version of that when I was like, uh I had a I got my first Swiss Army knife, and I'm just like, I promise I'll be safe. I'll prom I promise I'll do uh I'll read the manual and I'll learn the rules. But uh of course, like the first time I tried to carve a spear, I just fucking slipped my finger almost off.

SPEAKER_05 13:58

Blade yourself.

SPEAKER_02 13:59

Yeah, those they weren't locking blades, they were kind of flimsy. Oh yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_05 14:03

But um but yeah, yeah, I've cut myself uh I can't even count how many times. Uh while I work in the the butcher business.

SPEAKER_02 14:11

What was the most B town injury you've ever had that was most in like you know on brand for Bremerton? I think mine is getting beat beat with a gas can.

SPEAKER_05 14:22

Well, the fact that we have ski school here, which is a not a very common thing, I don't think, around the country. I don't know. Um it's not mountains everywhere. No one in Oklahoma has ski school, yeah. Yeah, totally. But uh we were going to ski school one lovely fucking probably December morning. I remember we'd only went once or twice of this season up to Stevens Pass. And uh we were all like sitting kind of back by the school. It snowed it, it would snowed here, so it was really cold and icy and snowy. And we met up at Ridgetop to get this the ski school bus. And uh the thing was when all the buses were coming, you'd see them coming up around the hill off of Ridgetop Boulevard. Yeah, everyone would run to the curb to fucking get front of the line so you could get the very back of the bus so you could be as far away from you know the bus driver as so you could drink vodka and eat sardines and shit, you know. And uh, so the buses are coming and fucking everyone just starts running, and I'm like in the front of the pack. Like I'm like, I'm gonna get the back seat and fucking I'm gonna give everyone that's cool a seat there, and I'm gonna be cool and fucking take some shots or something, you know. And uh that didn't pan out the way I hoped it to because the whole crowd of people ran into me and I hit the ice and slipped off of the curb. Oh my god, spun in the air, landed in the middle of the road, basically, and right under the sight line of the bus driver, and she just kept going, and I'm like under the bus, and she rolls up on so you did like a ski school version of the movie Speed, like at the school bus.

SPEAKER_02 16:06

Exactly.

SPEAKER_05 16:07

And uh so the bus just rolls up on my fucking leg. And I was told this by the doctor that I if I had not had those Reebok fucking basketball shoes on that I was wearing, the pumps they weren't pumps, but they were something along that line. They got to have those massive fucking like the sole was like very thick and like sturdy, and that's basically what stopped my foot from being completely crushed. But from the view from the curb, all they could see was like just the bottom of my fucking shoe sticking out the side of the fucking wheel. Jesus Christ, and the chicks just the bus drivers just sitting there because she has no idea that I'm under the bus. And I'm I don't remember any of it because I was in shock. Like, you're under a bus, trapped. Of course, you're gonna be in shock. Yeah, so Neil Bogard and Chris Beauchet are standing right there, and they were kind of like my two best bros at the time.

SPEAKER_02 17:08

And they're pulling up with like some Glennplake side spike K2s. Oh, yeah, definitely side spike.

SPEAKER_05 17:13

These guys were total bros. Yeah, they were, but uh, they're trying to pound on the door and tell the bus driver to back up, and she's just like, no, no, no, everyone getting a single file line, and they're like, You're on somebody's fucking foot.

SPEAKER_02 17:27

And like it's crazy that like a like a chill, like you know, like just a mommy would be like a ski school bus driver driving in those conditions too. Yeah, it's fucking crazy up that mountain, you know?

SPEAKER_05 17:38

Yeah, like she was not qualified. But I found out years later from uh a friend of ours' mother that who worked as a bus driver for the county that that lady had like some meltdown after that and like quit because she ran me over. But uh anyway, so they eventually like broke through the door and got the bus door to open. And they're like, You're on somebody's foot, back up, and she backed up, and I was just like laying on the ground frozen, just like uh uh anyway, ended up having a bunch of like hairline fractures throughout my whole foot, but it was swollen up like twice the size of my foot, so I had to get some like a soft cast put on and was on crutches for two months, and I missed all the rest of ski school except for the very last trip. I was like, I think I can go. And I went went up there. I didn't even bother trying to get my ski boots on, but I got up there and I couldn't even get my foot in the boot because it was still so swollen. Jesus. But I just wanted to like, you know, it's like type of thing where my dad would complain about it for years and like write it on my IOU list when he when he died. Like, you know, that's crazy that I wasted all of his ski school money because I got run over by the bus because it was my fault.

SPEAKER_02 19:00

First random question. Like, let's talk about skiing for a quick second. Because I did this gif I have a hilarious story about when I first started skiing. It's not ski school, but before I tell it, let me ask you who's the hottest chick in ski school? Think of just you off the top of your head. Gia Duke. Jen Arnot for me.

SPEAKER_05 19:18

Oh, isn't she married to John Pebbles? I don't know. He was Glenn Plake. Oh, yeah, John Pebbles.

SPEAKER_02 19:24

He had the fucking Glenn Plake Mohawk, yeah.

SPEAKER_05 19:27

He was on the ski spin.

SPEAKER_02 19:28

Okay, so dude, this is a fucking super embarrassing story, but it's funny as hell, so I'm gonna tell it. So, you know, the brown hornet, like the 85 Ford Ranger. Yeah, first of all, like in Bremerton, like this is not equipped to seat children. So, like my father made this wood board and like tacked in some seat belts onto it. So, but like if the car flipped over, like the board is flying off. Like, it was more dangerous than not wearing a seatbelt. Yeah, yeah. So, like he'd just pile us in the back, and the first time I ever skied it, Stephen's Pass, I had like this I don't know where the fuck my parents got me this thing, but it was like, have you seen a Christmas story? Oh, yeah, you know that you know the little brother who is like so buttoned up in that one piece snow thing he can barely walk.

SPEAKER_05 20:10

Like I had that example, yeah.

SPEAKER_02 20:11

Christmas story, the Christmas story, yeah. Yeah, is that one of those, yeah, I think so. But like, so I had one of those and I got lost like from my dad. Like, we were doing the bunny hill, and like I was just like went off to the side and I couldn't find him. And uh I think I was like maybe 10 or something, and uh so I went up again and uh I just was really like could not find my my folks and I had to pee really fucking bad, and I had no idea how to take my skis off. So I'm like trying to fucking like walk through the lodge in my skis, going like I'm gonna be and people are just like, get the fuck out of here, kid, you know, take your skis off, and I'm like, ah, so they're just sitting around swimming. I'm just looking for places to go pee, and I get on the lift again, and I'm just like fuck. I I can't like I went to like a tree, there was like people there, and so I was just like going down the hill, and I'm just like I'm gonna fucking piss my pants. I don't care. I'm just I'm gonna do it. So like I peed my fucking pants, and then like at the end of the day, my dad, like he's like, Ryan, where the hell you been? And I'm just like, move me, my pants. And so he just threw me in the back of the fucking truck, and like I just like drove the whole way back, like with just my pants peed.

SPEAKER_05 21:42

That sounds like the time uh very traumatic. I got attacked by some some Navy guys in Sequamish and pissed my pants when they knocked me into the ditch.

SPEAKER_02 21:52

Did you tell that story yet?

SPEAKER_05 21:54

Have I?

SPEAKER_02 21:55

I don't remember that counts as an injured injury, yeah. Yeah, tell that one.

SPEAKER_05 21:59

I think I've Already told this story. Tough guys are gonna leave. I don't need to leave. Huh. I'll tell it on another time because I didn't really get injured. Injured injury. Uh injured. I just pissed my pants.

SPEAKER_02 22:11

Oh, okay.

SPEAKER_05 22:12

I had to sit in the back of Bremer's truck all the way home.

SPEAKER_02 22:14

I think we should check in with our fearless producer, Kevin, and see if he has any injury stories. How do you tell that?

SPEAKER_00 22:19

Oh, I do. I have two. I have two good ones. But first, I I want to kind of uh go back to some things real quick. First off, like Ryan, I understand you yelling at people when they're like at their low or like at least just on the side of the street. That used to be like one of my favorite things to do when I was partying. Like, especially my favorite thing to do would catch like couples like walking and trying to have a romantic time and just scream a fuck you and just watch their night get ruined. Like it was total power play, you know.

SPEAKER_05 22:54

My favorite though was uh fucker, I did.

SPEAKER_02 23:00

In college, I would like try to pick up chicks at Wazoo and they would like diss me, and I would just go, You're fat!

SPEAKER_00 23:12

Got him. But I would also wanted to say too, I have to admit that I like later found out that my dad was the naked guy in the gym locker room, like walking around and hanging out naked. Um it's a generational thing.

SPEAKER_02 23:28

It is, it is like my dad did that too. It's like they're just cool with like being like naked and like in the sauna and like fucking just blow drying the balls, dude.

SPEAKER_00 23:37

Yeah, like telling jokes, telling stories with their old balls hanging out, all the great test teams, just walking around the room going like, you read the article in Money Magazine, yeah, exactly.

SPEAKER_02 23:49

Remember city, isn't that great? Here pass me that blow dryer.

SPEAKER_00 23:55

For me, it's all traumatic, and now every time I'm in a locker room and I see old balls, I'm like, fucking goddamn it, just put those things away.

SPEAKER_05 24:03

You know, have you ever seen that picture of it was like at some fucking nudist parade in Seattle a couple years ago where it's like this old man's walking and his whole fucking junk is just hanging out, and there's a little kid like standing next to him with just like the most disgusted look on his face.

SPEAKER_00 24:25

Well, I'm at Berkeley now, you know, the other B Town, and I am seeing mine's a naked hippies everywhere. Oh my god, they used to have weekly protests like in in like next to the cow, yeah. And it was never anyone you would ever want to see naked, you know, you just have to roll with it. So, Kevin, real real quick before we go, let's let's hear about a couple of your stories. Yes, yeah, I'm gonna jump into it. So, first off, uh I the I have a deformed head because of Brownsville Elementary. Because uh, do you remember those little things you could sit on? They were like little scooters, and it was almost like tic-tacking for skateboarding. I know exactly what you're talking about before.

SPEAKER_02 25:08

And somebody oh wait, was that like a ride?

SPEAKER_05 25:10

No, it was like you they were in gym class. Yes, yeah, I know exactly what you're talking about.

SPEAKER_00 25:16

Exactly. Just because they used to sell them on like there was commercials for them, so you just know there's like some school guy that got paid off to buy these stupid things because they were useless. But I remember somebody giving me like uh a push, like a really good push to get me going, and I made the mistake of just taking a hard left and going right into a wall, and it was like truly like just smash, like smash my head. Totally like my head has this massive bump right here, and I was like the king of the school because I looked like such a freak until like I would say about a week later, uh, all the kids uh during recess decided to try playing baseball with a basketball, and you it was like a Holocaust, like all the kids, because you know that's the thing. When you hit a uh basketball with a baseball bat, that bat's coming right back at you. You know, there was like I swear, like six or seven kids that were like deformed, like you had like bloody ears, like people like smashed skulls, like it was so bad. But the big story I have about injuries, uh, especially for Brownsville, was that one time when I was in third grade, I was late for the bus. I'm rushing to get to the bus, and I'm rushing behind. So between like behind the school building of Brownsville and between the uh between the portables, and I'm rushing, school is kind of, you know, it's it's wrapping up, and I thought I was gonna clear a window, and I didn't. And I just went thaw. And I I was I kept walking, but I was dazed, and I put my hand on my head and it just came off dripping blood. Like it was so much blood. So I went into the office, didn't even need to say anything. I just showed them my bloody hand. I was like, and they were just like, Who's your mom? Oh my god, what's going on? Here's your mom. Let's let's get you going. So my mom came, picked me up, took me to the naval hospital, and I mean, we could do a whole episode about the naval hospital because it was truly an environment unlike any other. I mean, see, I'm sitting here bleeding from my head, still had to wait an hour. Still, you know, and finally they get me in, the doctor looks at me and he goes, Yeah, you cracked your head open. You could clearly need to go in the emergency room. So get in the emergency room. All these doctors are looking at my head. There's tons of blood everywhere. At first, they say, Okay, we're gonna have to get you gut staples. We're literally gonna have to staple your head back together. I'll be back. And so I'm sitting there going, Jesus Christ, like I'm gonna be like a Frankenstein. This is terrible. And they come back and they say, Well, you should know this is the this is the Navy. Uh, we get we have like run something. Sometimes we're low on supply. We literally don't have any more gut staples for you. So we're gonna have to get stitches. So we're I'm gonna come back and we're gonna stitch your head together. And I'm like, oh no, this is what I I feared most. It's not even gonna be quick. They're gonna be sewing my head together. This is terrible. And he cut back, he's like, Again, this is a naval hospital. We don't have any sterilized needles. So this is what we have to do. Do you have a lighter on you?

SPEAKER_02 28:36

Yeah, new town hospitals.

Exactly. But I want to say, this is what they did. They super glued it together. Super glued my wound together and then tied a knot in my hair over it. So I had to walk around. I was I was like the proto man bun guy, except you know, yeah, exactly. And that's the thing too. I didn't realize I was like freaked out about it. Like, you can use super glue for this. Now I hear it's like a common thing. Like, I I had a friend get stabbed in the head. He went to he was in Oakland, he went to the local hospital there. They didn't see him for six hours, so he just went home and super glued his head together.
