  • Jackson West wrote on May 28, 3:57 pm

    I really hope the guy with the sandwich in the test film was just some random, unsuspecting Cal student. Because that would make it extra hilarious.

  • DrDoobious wrote on May 28, 5:45 pm

    Sir, you have done us well! As soon as the bastard of a tiny sandwich is refurbished we'll have a solid video thanks to your help!

    Oh, and sadly that was just me (Mike of Naked Castle) in the video being chased. Though I assure you being chased by that Sandwich is really scary

  • Tim wrote on May 28, 7:33 pm

    Mike of Naked Castle, you were very funny in this episode. Hope we'll see more of you on IndyMogul, if you're not terrified of another sandwich attack.

    That said, I was really hoping I'd see you get tackled by the sandwich.

  • ErikBeck wrote on June 12, 10:37 pm

    Hey SodaPop.
    No, Naked Castle didn't didn't have pay anything for the costume. If we do a project/show for you backyard FX payes for the project. You may have to help us out with shipping if you live far away from me, but we'll try our best.

    I've been mercilessly devouring sandwiches for about 45 years now. Now that I've been enlightened as to their plight, I've agreed to pay restitution.
