Kev considers a Graboid-infested New York in The Days After Ragnarok, then moves on to the strange events aboard the colony ship “Manhattan”.
Ben, who has been working All Of The Hours, suggests The Graboids Take Las Vegas, and has some thoughts upon the difference between pitching a game and spoiling an idea.

{Tonya sez:- I did a web search on this phrase when we drew the card, and as a result watched the movie ‘Legend’ for the first time. There is a reason that the movie is not mentioned in the show. There are parts of Tom Cruise and his Magic Pants that I never need to see again.}
