Ep48 A Merry Karate Valentine's to You
Welcome to the first mini-episode of the gang's "hiatus." Instead of an hour of unhinged rambling, experience 20 minutes of quality nonsense! This week's tale is that of Niulang and Zhinu, a.k.a. the Cowherd and the Weaving Girl. These are two literally star-crossed lovers with enough influence to inspire a Chinese Valentine's festival.Craft a passion fruit margarita if you want, but that's definitely not a featured drink. The play on passion could have, nay, would have worked. Alas, that opportunity is lost. Forever. Not unlike Zhinu's clothes.
