Summary

Oh ho ho well if it isn’t probably the 4th or 5th time I’ve started an episode description out with “Oh ho ho”. It’s weird because I do not talk like this in real life. I’ve probably never said those words in that order in my whole life. But there’s something about putting pen to paper that really brings out my “silly side”. And if you like silly, you’re gonna love this episode of YKS, which at its peak recorded over 3.2 SPS (sillies per second)! Now that’s a lot of sillies! But today’s Kickstarter campaigns are deadly serious: consider, for instance, a device that allows pets to go outside. What sinister mind…ah! Perish the thought. Just download and enjoy all that and more on today’s YKS!
