Summary
Ep. 32: “Incidental Boners” - Roderick on the Line on Huffduffer
The Problems: visions of candy-corn antennae; the 4 kinds of kids; casual racism toward lions; John’s kosher ambulance conundrum; things that used to be other things; a misspent youth in pipebomb sales; sitting precariously on the sill of gay; John and Merlin find consonance in a dot-com incubator; the superiority of French «ordnance et matériel»; Mr. Shackleford gets an earring; hanky code culture jams; understanding dancing and spitballs; O’Look, a restaurant; and Merlin’s grave discomfort with John’s copious bukkits of sexual Weltanschauung.
