Chad joins this week to tell about a central-Indiana kid who hurts himself skating, and something unexpected that happens after the incident.

My other friend Liz joins this week to tell about her godmother’s time in Berlin back when the wall was still up.

This week Liz joins the show again to tell about her buddy EB and some pranks that he pulled several years ago.  Some deal with dating and some deal with the telephone.

A whole year has gone by, so I’m marking the telling of so many good stories by so many of you with a bohemoth of a short story collection. None of these were quite enough to be their own episodes, but I still felt the need to share them. Clocking in just shy of half an hour, please enjoy this extra large birthday edition.

Sarah joins the show again to tell a pretty gross one about a girl who gets sick from an unexpected source.
