Star Time #36: On the Real Side
You know, every now and then I think you might like to hear something from Star Time that's nice and easy. But there's just one thing. You see, Star Time never ever does nothing nice and easy. Except soufflés. I'm always nice and easy with the soufflés. And lithographs. You have to be very, very nice and easy with lithographs. But that's about it. Soufflés and lithographs. And hostage negotiations. Let's be honest, there are lots of ways those can go south in a hurry if you're not nice and easy. So there you go. Soufflés, lithographs, and hostage negotiations. And applying diaper rash ointment. That's it. And this mellower-than-usual episode of Star Time. It's nice and easy. But don't push it.
