Breaking Bad

Hank's Blog - We Got a Baby, You Get a Schraderbrau Shirt!

Hanks_Blog_Hedder.jpg

And the baby has landed! That's right guys, the parasite that's taken over my sister-in-law for the last, oh, twelve years or so has finally been born! She's got all her fingers and toes, and she's damn cute -- I guess she got all of Sky's genes. Ha! Everyone is happy as hell, which is a nice change for the family. My wife is so gaga over that little girl, I think she might pop her in a sack and steal her. I'm kidding. She'd be good for a few hours, but taking care of a poop machine, well, it's not exactly in her wheelhouse.

Schraderbrau_shirt_560x250.jpg

So because things weren't exciting enough, it looks like my brother-in-law will be going in for surgery soon to take care of this tumor he's still got. Never a dull moment here. He's getting a chunk taken out, which I'm told is called a lobectomy. (My spell check wants me to change that word to "lobotomy." Nice! But no... his brain will remain intact. Although he's got so many smarts, he could probably afford to lose some.)

Anyway, this surgery is going to cost somewhere along the line of the gross national product of Luxembourg. Walt'll be buying this doctor guy several houses. I sure got in the wrong business. So, my genius nephew has set up a website, SaveWalterWhite.com, where people can donate money for the cause.

Surgery is expensive, and let's not forget, my sister-in-law just popped out an entire person. You know that saying that boats are just a hole in the ocean you throw money into? Well, babies are like the people version of a boat. Except they're a hole in... I don't know... that overly priced Pottery Barn crib with the designer sheets you just had to have. The price of diapers alone, well, the mind boggles. So I'm asking, please, take a look at the site and spread it around to your friends. Put it on your Facebook or your Tweeter or whatever is the new slacker thing this week. Hell, just take a moment to bask in the neon green glow of the screen. We'd really love for my niece to know her dad, and this surgery could be the ticket.

And now, I'm gonna sweeten the deal: I remember how you guys went batshit crazy over those Schraderbrau shirts (and who can blame you?). So, if you go check out the site and then come back here and leave a comment on my blog, you'll be entered in another random drawing for a shirt. How about that? You can leave any kind of message here that you want. Messages to Walt, haiku... whatever floats your boat.

So dig deep! Think of it as karma. Or whatever kumbaya pay-it-forward hoodoo appeals to you. He's a good guy, and he deserves to see his little girl grow up.

Tell your nephew to quit using Comic Sans.

Damn Hank, After reading that opening of your Blog, I thought I was reliving Sigourney Weaver giving birth to her alien baby! - Ok here goes: Dear Walt, wishing you my heart felt congratulations on your new bundle of joy Holly. Maybe now Skylar can climb down off your ass and cut you a break. I know that you are headed into Surgery and everyone is pulling for you. Hope that you recover soon so we can all rest easy that there will be a 3rd, 4th and 5th Season of Breaking Bad.

HAMMERIN' HANK!!

Hank,
your nephew's website looks great. how come no pics of you on there? hope your family can raise the money for the surgery, i'm sure walt has something up his sleeve "wink wink". anyway, good luck, and try to avoid the crystal palace if you can.

user-pic

Hi Hank, that was cool how Walter blocked your view when Badger was making that sale. You got fooled good! I'm sorry about that turtle incident.

default userpic

Working on this show would be the best thing ever. Keep 'cranking' out the great work!

default userpic

What the hell is up Hank? I totally would kill to get taste of that brew of yours. Let me know were i can get some. Thanks for all the awesomeness...later dude

BEST SHOW ON TV!

default userpic

Reading the website truly brought a tear to my eye.

I was inspired to write this haiku for Walter Jr.

My dad has cancer!
Wish we had a half mil' stashed
In the laundry room.....

user-pic

I hope the site is successful and the national cancer coalition gets a number of donations

Any plans for AMC to match funds??

hint hint ;)

default userpic

I hope savewalterwhite website generates enough money to buy Walt a better wig than what's in the pictures and to hire a professional photoshop artist for those pics. BTW, diapers are on sale at the Hi-Lo Market.

Very moving website! Flynn is awesome! Hey Hank! My boyfriend loves your beer logo. And he loves beer. Think you can do me a solid and send him a t-shirt? That would definitely make me the world's greatest girlfriend chick. You rock!!!

default userpic

Hank, I wanna try try your beer being a beer connissieur myself. But I'll settle for a t-shirt. You rule!

user-pic

I checked out the site. Now where's my shirt?

default userpic

I hope Walt comes through the surgery fine, we need him for season 3.

user-pic

Hankster-

I've spread the link to Flynn's website like a spam monkey on crack. What a great cause! Don't be surprised if 30,000 plus donations flood in from around the world. I know some folks in Belarus that are particularly generous. I'm thinking the site might bring in, say, $480K, minus 20% in 'admistrative fees'.

I've been known to knock back a few brewskis now and then (more now than then) and would be proud to display your handsome mug behind my ever-present mug (or can, bottle, etc.). If you wanted to include a case of your tasty Brau, I wouldn't be too put out. Looks like it might be a little too unstabl;e for the US Posatal Service, though.

Keep up the good work, and watch out for flatulent tortoises!

Hank,
I've attached your nephew's link to all my friends websites. Having lost my mother to cancer when I was young, I personally know how difficult a family has it. If you autograph the shirt I'll put it up for a charity auction.

Thanks Hank, keep on keepin' up the great work!

Checked the site.
It's very retro, circa 1996.

I will be praying to the cancer gods for Walt and to the home brewing gods for myself, I just gotta have that shirt.

user-pic

That's clever - and cool - that you can make a donation to an actual cancer charity via the site.

Cancer = Bad!

Breakin Bad = Good!

Hank, I love watching you talk the your wife, you do have a way about you which no woman can resist!
You definately know how to handle the one you married and she (and her family) are a little nutsey!

default userpic

Hank, Please tell me that Walt Jr. does not wind up in the pool. Please! Hank?

I didn't know you could pour a handfull of salt into a full glass of water and it wont spill and even goes down. Totally cool man!!!

I helped Walt with a nice donation. Hank send me a shirt and some home brew. :)

A Poem For Thee and Those:

O, please help save "Mr. Wallabee"!
Won't you give a bit of money to his charity?
Walt's a braniac teacher, it's plain to see,
All the students & teachers bask in his eccentricity.

Loving husband to Skyler (the new mommy),
Devoted father to Flynn & wee little Holly.
But wait...who's this Jesse, seems like Walt's homey....
And why all the odd behavior? Walt's been acting pretty nutty.....

Does he have two cell phones? Why, that's a bit screwy!
Mumbling this to Sklyer before going into surgery!
And good lord, behind that insulation! Are those giant piles of money?!?
Am I to deduce there's a secret life for Walt out in Albuquerque???

--The Breaking Bad Bard

user-pic

My dad taught at my high school, so I had to deal with a lot of the same things that Flynn describes. It was tough at times. Also, my dad had cancer. Unfortunately, he passed away and never got to see me get married or have kids.

Gee...that was a downer! But anyway, it's a post!

default userpic

Walter Jr.'s site is AMAZING except for one thing: The background image of the stars really needs to be blinking. Then it would be eye-bleedingly perfect.

user-pic

Did someone say haiku?

Breaking Bad is best
Hank will not catch "Heisenberg"
Can I get a shirt?

default userpic

I hope soon as Walt gets out of surgery you can help him recover by sneaking in a tall, cool, frosty Schraderbrau into the hospital!

default userpic

Hank....oh my love the show! Nikie sends me all of your updates and we love to watch them. Show is amazing!

default userpic

Yeah, Mr. Schraeder, I presume? I believe I have some information on the meth King Pin you have been searching for. It isn't free, it WILL come at a price. I think you will be pleasantly surprised to find out that Heisenberg is still around. I also think you will be pleasantly surprised to find out who he REALLY is.

I can be contacted at a payphone around town. 217 781 3233. I look forward to hearing from you, and working something out.

default userpic

Congrats to Walt and Sky! Celebration is an order! I'll take a nice, cold bottle of Schraderbrau and an XL t-shirt, please!

default userpic

Love the green sparkly background. I'll take my shirt in a 5XL.

I saved Walter White with 20 dollars.


I want a shirt now :]

Wow, the green is amazing! :) Tell Walter to have a good operation.

Hank - you should sell shirts these online and donate the proceeds to cancer research.

Hank! How about a shirt compadre?

Congratulations to the White Famly, and especially to Uncle Hank!

Way to go, Jr! And congratulations to the White family, especially the great Uncle Hank! When will you take her to her first all-male revue?

I hope the skinny DEA agent who arrested Badger dies a violent death.

default userpic

Great blog post, although a bit too meat-head for Hank. It's been great to see him develop into a realistic and believable character, this one has his tone down, but makes him seem less clever than he appears to be on the show.

default userpic

That's really cool how you are helping out cancer patience.

default userpic

Shame about your beer exploding.

default userpic

HAANK! Hank the Tank! U da man. Where can I buy your signature brew at brother? And hey btw, good job icin' that slimeball Tuco.

default userpic

Oh yeah almost forgot, stay away from the Ivory Swallow dude! Trust me when I say it's "not your type of bar" ...hehe ;)

default userpic

If I don't win the shirt, how about you send me some of the brew??

CANCER SUCKS!!!! >=(
It's an evil monster, straight out of the pits of Hell...
Our prayers go out, for all, whom are battling this horrible disease.
God bless.

As a homebrewer myself, I can appreciate home Brewrianna. Keep up the amazing work on the show.

default userpic

Hank,

Are you concerned that this cancer business might have done a number on Walt's sanity? Obviously, the most important thing is to nip the cancer right in the but, BUT let's look at a few other facts:

1. The guy disappears for days on end only to end up butt naked in BFE.
2. He shows up in the middle of your sting and nearly ruins the whole operation. Walt's too smart not to realize what was going on, and he's normally not that outgoing anyway.
3. Pool party.

Maybe he's just been smoking a bunch of weed - who knows - but I'm worried about the cat. Give Walt Jr. a pat on the back for a job well done.

default userpic

You got to lose weight Hank. How in hell are you going to catch your Walt and Jesse without shooting them! Speaking of that, I take a small shirt (I'm a gal). Also, its would be interesting to know what you will do if and when you find out about Walt. Maybe keep a little momentum on your desk like Tuco's! Ha!

A LIMERICK BY LISA

There once was a guy named Hankt
Whose phallus had never got spankt
His wife would ask "Why...
should I be like Sky?
Its not YOUR BIRTHDAY, you scankt!"

I think it's awesome that you linked the page to donate for real cancer patients. smart and good karma.

Who needs meth or heroin when there's Breaking Bad! Its the only addiction! Kudos on the website, it was a fun surprise.

Breaking Bad is the greatest show ever!

default userpic

I don't know Hank, I'm starting to think this whole money situation of the White's is a farce. I talked to one of Walter's former students who claims that, quote, "the dude's got fat stacks of cheddar, yo", whatever the hell that means.

default userpic

Very touching what the young man did for his father. Although sometimes people will do crazy things to secure their families future (financial or otherwise). I'm not saying the website is crazy, far from it. I am saying, though, that maybe, just maybe, some facts might come to light about Walter Sr. that nobody knew about and all I would consider (if it were my family) would be did he make the choices he made for himself or for his family? If he did it for his family, to make them safe and happy, then I would gladly forgive him, no matter how far he might break the rules of being bad or good. Basically, what I'm saying is that if you or Walter Jr. or Skylar ever find out that Walter Sr. did something wrong to keep his family safe and happy maybe you should ask yourself if whether or not you would do the same thing to safeguard the people you love. All in all though I hope that Walter Jr. receives the donations he's asking for to help with the surgery, a young man should never have to go through the pain of losing his father, and the 'old man' has a new baby girl to take care of--he can't leave her behind. So here's to Walter, Walter Jr., Skylar, Holly, and anybody else in the White family that I may be failing to mention I wish you the best of luck. And to Walter Sr. specifically: Dude, be careful.

Also--I really, really, really, really, really, really want a shirt.

default userpic

I am 24 years Old and I had Just lost my Best friend to Cancer....I think What Walt is doing for his family is what a Father would naturally do if he knew he was Dying. To a Father his family is a Precious thing and making sure they are okay Financially even after he leaves would be a very stressful thing to think about.
I love this Show and it is the best thing on TV right now.

This is the best show I've seen since Carnivale. I love it!

Keep making that brew, Hank. Looks delicious!

Hank, because Walt is getting deeper and deeper into the whole crystal myth drug trade, you should hook him up with some heavy fire power from the DEA's stash.

Hank - Walt Jr. did a nice job on the site. Looks good. Props to you for being a cool and caring uncle.

Walt - Stay the course. Things will get ugly but "just keep on keeping on". Nobody ever said this was gonna be easy. Be strong.

Hank, with this economy, you really should have sent Tuco's grill to Cash4Gold.

The site looks good and so does your beer. We'd love to feature you, your beer, or your shirt at the next meeting of our beerclub. We're always looking for the finest in brews and we know you can deliver.

I love the idea of fund raising using Paypal. I completely understand the pride issue as my father had cancer and didn't want people to know about it either.

Good job w/ the site and the collection can!

I think it is really cool that you guys actually have a save Walter website. Possibly to filter you Meth profits? Love the show! I think you all should win awards, especially because everyone is not only realistic, but as in real life (not usually t.v.) very multifaceted!
