Favorite Adventures

Among the brothers' many adventures there are a few favorites of mine.

The Snoopy adventure holds a place in my heart for several reasons.  First, it was just plain funny.  Using the beloved Peanuts' characters was great.  A religious cult led by a Beagle is a stroke of genius.  Furthermore, having his opposition be Lucy-fer is equally hilarious.  To jog your memories, the brothers were hired as a security detail to protect the Beagle's caravan.  As it turns out, the beagle ended up being the baddy.  I believe Utah Blaine ended up confronting him.  Lucy was set free with Dave advising her to seek other options of Faith.  Dave had Utah give her a Book of Mormon for starters.

The road trip to New Orleans is another great one.  This is where Dave met Fisher, joined a punk rock band, and escaped from a small town jail.  This particular adventure helped craft and shape Dave's character.  I really got into the zone on this one.  If you remember, Utah was dating the human singer, Rachel.  The brothers acted as security detail on her tour through vegas and to New Orleans and back.  This had a lot of side quests including Utah Blaine taking part in an iron man boxing and strength feat competition.

I recall another adventure wherein the brothers were sent to retrieve a young lady that had been abducted and put out as a prostitute.  As the brothers went undercover to the brothel, most entertained themselves in the obvious fashion.  Dave, however, requested as many available girls as possible and tried to spring as many as he could.  Some resisted (a deer dominatrix stands out in my mind).  It turns out the local sheriff was involved.  He tasered Dave but Dave resisted.  Dave finished the sheriff by jump kicking him in the head while simultaneously leaping over the hood of the patrol vehicle.

The brothers go to the Drive-In is another favorite.  Dave met his first girlfriend, Kimberly (a russian blue cat).  Utah and Rick fought over the last slice of pizza.  I believe the movie was Nosferatu.  This little subplot adventure had a lot of character development and role-playing elements which makes it stand out in my mind.

Those are a few adventures that stand out prominently in my mind.  Should I remember any others I will post them.  What were some of your favorites?

Dave, so glad to see that you made it to the web site. I am sitting here in Japan at my brother-in-laws apartment attempting to check my email. Talk to you when I get back home. Rick

One of the first adventures that I remember started at a bar, Utah wanted a glass of water, but the Bartender won't give it to him, kept telling him that they didn't have water, Utah told him to take some Ice and melt it down for him, and Rick was trying to order some milk, I think the whole situation was funny, these four really tough looking guys are ordering milk and water, the One eyed tiger that was the bartender and Utah get in this huge fight and the Tiger pulls a shotgun on Utah and fires at him. We end up burning down the whole bar and building all because he wouldn't give Utah some water. Well we were much more violent back then....ha ha hah.
