Swizzle stick... LOL

Well, if it's not an instantaneous upgrade, at some point she's a swizzle-stick-in-the-mud...

Its good to see Euryale sober... the last time we saw her at the island she was totally snockered. As opposed to Connie who was utterly shitfaced.

I am willing to bet with sufficient alcoholic lubrication either or both of the aunts could stir up a lot of things. If they just didnt have snakes, shudder

Euryale's hair seems oddly concerned by Pickle. Blackthorne hybrids may be somewhat scary to snakes. Or her vines may make them professionally jealous.

Just a reminder: None of the Gorgon sisters were pushovers, according to Greek mythology, but Stheno was the one you especially didn't want to cross. Medusa and Euryale could turn you into a statue; Stheno could and happily would turn you into a corpse. That 'forceful' aspect of her personality seems to have carried over into the Wapsi Square version...

Based on what's in the news recently, it takes 10 to upgrade.

The thing is, you have to agree that once you've drunk those 10 upgrade martinis, the bartender gets to come into your house and take pictures of you, and rummage through your desk and read your diary. He can do this whenever he wants, just as long as he feels it's necessary.

Oh, and in a few months, you may be forced to drink those 10 upgrade martinis whether you want to or not. The bartender is already "upgrading" peoples' single martins to doubles or triples without telling them, hoping to get 'em drunk. He says that's in peoples' best interest. Some people are deciding they'd rather throw away their martini glasses and stop drinking martinis entirely.

To make matters worse, if you try to buy a new glass, you may find that the stores are only selling martini glasses that can't hold anything but martinis! The glasses have a lid that won't open if you try to put water or beer in them (even if it's free beer). You'll either have to use old glasses and mugs to hold your beer, or you'll have to learn to make your own drinking vessels.

Fortunately there are lots of places to learn pottery and wood-turning.

Correct... I was alluding to a certain set of policies, being pushed by a certain high-tech company engaged in classic capitalistic commerce.
