Star Time #186: Boomerang
Not that we ever "phone in" any episode of Star Time (perish the thought!), but we're getting awfully close to the time of year when it becomes audibly clear I need an extended break (which is coming in about a month). Listen closely to the breaks in this episode and you can hear the sounds of bones creaking, swivel chairs slowing to a halt, and the distant thundering of holiday delivery men. Boy, I really know how to sell an episode, don't I? Hey, the music's excellent. That's all you need.
