Story

Vodka Greed is a thirty five year-old partial genius, working diligently in his disgusting garage has created an interstellar starship from wood, leather straps and ACME life guaranteed life support. While his friends are out on the town and the kitty has fallen asleep, Vodka travels into his backyard workshop, dons his "I have a grand intellect, for a Dopefish" t-shirt, and transforms into Gorti Vrinch.

Sent a message from some really intimidating guy named Mortimer, the message told Vrinch of a horrible, horrible celebration, in which Santa Claus (The one from the northside of Pole III) delivered gifts upon gifts to Vrinch's incredibly irritating nemesis, Commander Keen. The gifts came from all the various people Keen had saved. ("Shortly before they starved to death due to lack of candy," falsely suspected Vrinch) Vrinch quickly realized that there was a great injustice (A galaxy of gifts to someone who had risked his life for the universe a literally uncountable number of times-While no gifts at all to the local galactic auto thief) that he had to commit. With that, he made an illegal copy of the message- he hadn't given himself permission- and high tailed it to the northside of Pole III, hoping to steal Santa's gifts before the fat tub of lard tried to give them.
