The Final Podblem: The Sussex Vampire, Or: Prime Howlin'-Time

in ,

Holmes and Watson meet with a challenge that they have no choice but to admit they aren't qualified for: salvaging an 8-page story where dogs get names but women don't. Also, the boys discuss small Belgian dog and large lycanthropes with peer-pressure issues; we realize that's three separate dogs, which is a lot for one episode description, but we worked with what we were given.

Eyyy, crimes-a-matta-for-you, eh?

In which Italians get more flack than even Casey thinks they deserve, the Lion of Napoli gets his melon-dome cracked open like a whole bunch of times, we ABSOLUTELY FREAK OUT about birds for a while, and the boys make every conceivable pun involving the word 'bust' except that soundbite from Pee-Wee's Playhouse because we couldn't get the rights.
