Episode 16

Saturday, July 4th, 2009

Mikeal disses us by not showing up, Adam has some thoughts, Robert grows cranky as he approaches middle age, and Matt (hearts) Bing.  Special K tries to come up with nicknames for everyone else but fails, and edits out references to the Simpsons’ Krabapple in a fit of ennui.  Seriously.
