Mission Summary

CastleIsland ho! We've been thinking about it for most of the season, and it was time.

We headed out to CastleIsland with Mentos and Diet Coke on the noodle. Speaking of noodles, we got some of those, too. The wacky kind.

There were fishermen, Russian spies, and Mentos explosions on CastleIsland, fascinating docking bay attendant humans manning fuel-dump stations (he rode Mjollnir and we blessed him with the Freshness!), dirt-based derbies, and jousting with the aforementioned noodles of the wack.

Cannolies were had after the IslandExploration, much to the amusement of all Pilots and most humans. Zappa then located a CookieDumpingStation, boosted the goods, and Asher transported the Yummies to a better location.

Exon's posterior decided it doesn't like derby sometimes, the HARVs decided that they don't like spaceway sidewalks sometimes, and a plastic PowerRangers monstrosity decided that sometimes if it hangs out on the side of the road, it might get abducted by a local Chopper gang.

Yay CastleIsland! Yay cannolies! Yay noodle jousting! Yay fun fun fun!
