What’s up gangsters,
Steven here, again, Violent Littles's new guy and future Food & Beverage Director. I’m still waiting for my license to get approved, although I heard it’s probably at the bottom of the pile. Oh well, the show goes on.
I know you guys are probably thinking what the hell even is this patch? And I say that with confidence because that’s exactly what I said to Yanne when he showed it to me for the first time. He answered quickly, “Bro, go home tonight and watch The Life Aquatic with Bill Murray.” Personally, I don’t like to bring work home with me but you don’t always have a choice. And if "work" is watching movies and taking a couple notes...ok, fine, I got this.
So what was my take on this Wes Anderson goldmine? When the Hell did Bill Ubell learn to speak Filipino, in the Navy? And why does an older white man need to be fluent in Filipino? I would assume he visits the Philippines quite often, and on his visits maybe it's crucial to be perfectly clear with the locals exactly what kind of "stuff" you are looking for.
Also, get Steve Zissou some fuckin range time. The dude couldn't shoot a fish in a barrel. Thank God the pirates were no better. I don't think I've ever seen a movie scene with so much shit popping off without somebody even catching a piece of shrapnel. All and all though, highly recommend this film, 10/10, setting aside the liberal optics of the writer/director aside.
Now, I’m very aware of the demographic we attract, and for all our readers who love to pick apart action scenes like you're debriefing an Op in Fallujah, I’m sure you guys found many faults in this one. But you guys are forgetting one major detail. Any way you look at this situation, it still ended in the same result. No major friendly casualties, and more importantly, no more fucking pirates on his boat. Both of which can be attributed to the power of the Zissou Glock, which were actually just regular black flavored Glocks in the movie, so we took artistic liberties, and a tactical baby blue bathrobe, of course.
So what do we have here? Violent Little… New Morale Patch…Glock…Bill Murray. Oh boy. That’s the kind of inappropriate behavior that would shut this whole production down.
Have a good one,
Steven (and Yanne dropped in for some choice edits and basically changed a bunch of my writing around.)

BEFORE I BEGIN: If you've got no idea who Quanah Parker, here's a little context to get you up to speed. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quanah_Parker.
Compared to today, everybody was fucked up back then. White settlers, Comanches, other Indian tribes...it was a different world that you and I didn't live in, one without antibiotics and Starbucks, so its hard to relate to how some of the things were done. People had to be hard. Shit was different, unexplainable, and unfathomable to people today...but it is cool to read and learn about, so let's get that out of the way right now and just move on like big boys and girls.
Dear Cowboys & Indians,
Yanne here. Ok...real talk. I'm not here to give you a history lesson, because its really messy and I ain't that smart, but I'm interested, and maybe you will be too.
The history of the Comanches, the white settlers, and all the other Indian tribes -it was a gong show.
We launched our first Comanche patch on April 17th, 2015. I had read Empire of the Summer Moon by S.C. Gwynn and thought it would be cool to come out with a patch series. (Incidentally, the author of the book was on Rogan about 3 years ago and it was outstanding: Click Here to Watch).
Part historical, part "Buffalo Bill Wild West"-poster style -the two patches that we made were very poorly received, and I think misunderstood. I pushed the envelope.
I took a risk knowing who our customer base was (which at the beginning of Violent Little was mostly SEAL Team squadrons we were making patches for for their deployments)...which if you remember that New York Times article about how some of the boys were carrying Winkler tomahawks on their kit and getting kills with them, it seemed consistent to be in the fucking weeds on it. I've got no problem with how our boys are getting their kills -that's their business and its not for me to judge their craft -they're the ones that have to do the hard job, and the stakes are highest. We are not a brand for housewives from Ohio...although we've become slightly more commercial since then. They've been some of our worst selling patches, and I'm ok with that.
The Comanches patches were some of my favorite patches we've ever done...and we've been sitting on a boatload of them forever. Like 6...7...8 years...something like that. It was always supposed to be a three part series, but I kind of stopped at two, well, because geez...is it even a good idea to do a third? Didn't seem like it. Then some years went by and...well, we just kind of kept on living our lives.
But then there was this one customer, just one, who kept emailing us over the years asking politely and patiently when there was going to be a third. And I never forgot that he kept asking for it -so for that one guy, even if he's the only one who buys it today...this one's for you, brother. Thank you.
Maybe Quanah Parker was a piece of shit, maybe he was an amazing human being, I don't really know, and I don't care. It happened a long time ago. But what I do like doing is honoring history, so I hope this spearhead honors Quanah Parker and our shared history.
He was a skilled warrior and respected leader of his people for his time, and that's enough for me. Hope you enjoy.
All my love,
Yanne
