This show contains the UNEDITED lines that Miss Shmacklehiemer sent me for the big finish of episode 72! I also explain to those confused by the events of the last two shows why they shouldn't be confused...because confused was the intent, so if you're confused, you're not confused because...um... you shouldn't confuse confusion with being confused... ahhh... about.... confusion....
