Fire the Canon

We wrap up the ridiculously child-inappropriate children's story of Pinocchio by Carlo Collodi. Host Rachel says it best when she sums it up thusly: sometimes barely anything happens, and sometimes way too much happens. Ain't that just the way? If you, like Bekah, enjoy cruelty towards puppets, you'll enjoy this episode. Rachel is pretty sure some puppets are gay. Bekah is open to ghosts. Jackie begs Rachel to become a donkey for her, just this once. Topics include: Ethiopian proverbs, grapes in wife form, a dog that may be alive or dead, Reagan Republicans, a philosophical tuna, Statler and Waldorf, ghost opinions, eating a ton of salt, Ti Voglio Bene Assai (a song so catchy it will ruin your life), ichthyology, and how much fun would be worth it to be transfigured into a donkey.
