Speed Racer bingo

A while back, I saw the hilarious Scooby Doo bingo card and was inspired to make something similar, so I started working on a Speed Racer version. With the release of the movie tomorrow, I figured it was time to share it.

Note: This bingo card is meant to be used with the original cartoon version of Speed Racer; I'm not sure how well it will work with the upcoming movie. Click to embiggen.

TV, part 2: The Venture Bros.

I bought a Venture Bros. t-shirt a couple of weeks ago; it's black, with the skull-looking logo in white on the front. I imagine that, from a distance, to the uninformed, it just looks like a skull. I wonder what the normals think when they see it.

I wore it to the grocery store recently, and as I was leaving the checkout, I heard a voice call out, "Go Team Venture!" and I looked over my shoulder to see some dude looking at me, raising his fingers in a "V" sign. That's what kind of show The Venture Bros. is, the kind of show that makes you yell a greeting to a stranger in a grocery store.

The show is currently on hiatus between the second and third seasons. Season 1 is already out on DVD and Season 2 is coming out in April. This is the best animated show I know of, and one of the best comedies in general, animated or not. It's similar in spirit to The Tick, and if you like crazy exaggerated superhero type stories, it'll be right up your alley. The humor is at times slapstick, but other times insanely subtle, and the episodes demand repeat viewings just to be sure that you catch all the jokes and geeky references.

Season 2 ended with a kind of cliffhanger, after Phantom Limb attacked The Monarch at his wedding to Dr. Girlfriend. David Bowie, Iggy Pop, and Klaus Nomi were also involved. But don't start watching there, get the first season and then try to catch Season 2 episodes in reruns or on Adult Swim Fix. You'll want to be caught up before the next new episodes start.
