Shocking - truly SHOCKING - news that will shake up the 372 community almost as much as the scandal surrounding our last cozy mystery. Not since Will Smith slapped Chris Rock at the Academy Awards while that guy streaked across the stage behind David Niven has there been anything this "watercooler-talk-worthy" (<------ huh, kids? 8 year-olds, you're eating this up, aren't you?)
Mike and Conor continue to delve into the story of Opal and how she can communicate with bats because she was sucked up into a UFO, and now she rambles (i.e., "drives around in a car") with her uncle Roscoe, a serious loser who destroyed his family farm, owes thousands in back taxes, and sneaks into alleys behind music clubs so he doesn't have to pay the seventy-five cent cover charge.
All the departments are here and as a final reading assignment, FINISH THE BOOK!
(And yes, Mike forgot that a kind listener had already done a "We Didn't Start the Fire" parody. Could we have edited it out? Sure, but why not mock him instead?)
