Turn Out the Lights - S02E47 Tower of Technobabble
12/18/12 • 60 min
This week, we prepare to kiss our sweet asses goodbye as we get ready for the Mayan apocalypse. C'mon in, grab a beer, and settle in as we run down the highlights of the late, great planet Earth. Take off your shoes and stay awhile. Hell, take off your pants, too, because it's all over in a few scant days. Set phasers to Par-tay!
Show notes:
There's no time for homework! It's the end of the world!
