We are happy. Since recording this episode, the new Sailor Moon anime did come out and we watched it. (Deep breath) SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEE! Oh, how we loved it. It was all pretty and colorful and almost frame-for-frame consistent with the original manga. Our nerdy little souls sing with otaku joy.

But enough about our drug of choice. Let us speak here of deeper things like college. Most of Skullard’s song was absolutely true. He can tell you why the Apostle Paul was so touchy on the subject of circumcision. You see, the early church in Galatia thought in order to be a proper Christian, you had to be a proper Jew first. And that meant trimming the fat, as it were. So a lot of potential early converts said, “Y’know, your church seems nice and all, but considering the price of admission, I’m gonna pass.” Or they’d say, “I don’t need Jesus so much that I’m slicing my junk.” So Paul said, “Stop with the putz-peeling, you persnickety penis pruning prudes! God accepts the whole man, as it were.” He even got so incensed by the topic that he suggested “As for those agitators, they should go the whole way and emasculate themselves.” (Gal. 5:12) Or, in layman’s terms, “If you feel so strongly about it, why don’t you just go ahead and cut your dick off.” And that, dear listeners, is one of the few things retained all these years after college. You can’t tell us that wasn’t worth it, right? Hooray for higher ed!

Old vs. New – The girl’s still got it!

Just in case you were wondering, there are Magical Boys as well. Here ya go, ladies.

If you really want to show a hotshot he’s not all that hot, swipe his car, pick up some Marsha Bradys, go play in another car in a ravine, and then play Grand Theft Auto some thirty years before Xbox. That’ll show him. And now we show you this – Joy Ride (1976).

From Skullard’s Postcard Collection: This Is (was) America! An up-to-date picture would probably show a customer call center manned by inmates in a for-profit prison. Keep it free indeed. In the meantime, what’s the internet speed in Ireland?
