In this episode we try to understand regency slang, find a mystery getting underway, wonder if Stephanie Meyer might actually be doing something clever, and are excited by lesbianism. Some books continue to be controversial, and we encounter the terrifying Bootlord of Beardaria (for which Shim has kindly provided D&D stats (/files/Bootlord.doc)).
