    “People drowned in molasses?”
    Ryan: “that’s horrible”
    Garrett: “not a bad way to go!”
    “People scraped leaking molasses off the side of a metal tank”
    Ryan: “that’s disgusting”
    Garrett: “how economical!!”

      I worked at a Sam's Club (in the late 90s), when a co-worker stacked a pallet of heavy hot cocoa mix on top of a pallet of Mrs. Butterworth syrup. After it crashed down (thankfully in the middle of the night, so no one died or was injured), it took a few days to get it mostly cleaned up. But for years, they were still finding sticky goo all over the shelving, and the smell lingered.
      I can still smell the sickly sweetness, if I think about it. So yeah, I can almost empathize with the people of the North End. Thankfully, I don't have the added baggage of friends and family having died from said flood, or the pandemic, or the war that also recently happened.

      Well, that's Shane Dawson and this is Shane and Ryan, the ghoul boys. I'd rather pick the ghoul boys because they're the real ghoul boys in this town and also because I firmly (/j) believe in the notion that Shane Madej is a demon and nothing is better than a demon.

      But in all seriousness, I think Ryan and Shane are happy to have him happy too since that's the type of people they are. They even sang Mamma Mia on a panel once with their fans which is so cool and very heart-warming for me.

      ​@@riversong4997 I believe the meme of Ryan's dad as a scary dentist who has Done Some Shit began in the Bobby Mackey episode of BU Supernatural because in that episode they discuss someone who was murdered by a boyfriend who was a dental student at the time.
