Angreement

On this holiday (but which holiday!?) episode, Michelle and Katherine go back to some of their classic favorites: domesticating wild animals and bird penises! (Talking about bird penises, not domesticating bird penises). There is also a new holiday for you to celebrate, historical disaster, and old memories along with class consciousness are dug up. Plus (and when is there not?) much more!
