Giving Up [commodoreHUSTLE]

[@Coppo68]

I hope they remembered to take Penelope out of the baby drawer before moving Moonbases. But hey, if not, I'm looking forward to a CommodoreHustle 18 years later where she tracks down the crew, having been raised by the Laffatron into becoming the next terminator.

[@VarionusNW]

that would be amazing.

[@punkrockzoologist9449]

Omg yes!!! Jointly raised by the Laff-o-tron and Rocky the Rackoon.

[@CSDragon]

+IamVerilance I haven't even watched past the intro and this is already the best episode of 201X. Something about the thought of them keeping her in a prop bin just cracks me up. Also, Kathlene has recovered very well! Penelope was born like a month ago, but she looks pretty much back to normal

So.... Don't know if you guys noticed, but they left Penelope in a box in the moonbase with the laughotron and the (possibly evil) raccoon. I'm pretty certain the two of them are going to raise her to be an evil Racoon-themed supervillain that will try and take over the world... or at least the town from Main to Sixteenth street.

[@jmbthegreat]

+Deric Wadleigh Hang on they aren't just going to abandon all those props. I mean how many sets of nesting dolls based on Russian leaders missing Lennon are there?

[@jmbthegreat]

+Deric Wadleigh We don't need anyone brave enough to go in. Just stupid enough not to realize what they are doing when they go into the Moonbase but smart enough to know what props to grab, I mean we have Beej and Alex it should be fine.
