Wait, that’s not what happens!

“Shin Wars: Episode V: The Empire Likes Sprack” – Now was it Lord Bader or Master Bader? Either way, the helmet head is feeling a great disturbance in his shorts!

But things progress rapidly from bad to worse, jump started with an essay Shin wrote about his father! “He comes home drunk, his life is lame…”

“The Secret Life of Georgie” – Like all Republicans, Georgie’s harboring a secret! The youth is desperate for a cardboard reproduction of Yaz from the TV series Heiressz. What lengths will he go to in order to get his hands on the prize? And can he do it while keeping his shameful love for such girlish tripe from his friends? Oh, to have so much money and yet not be able to buy your heart’s greatest desire… How cruel!

“Action Bastard Says, ‘Give Yourself the Shaft!’” – It’s another evening at the Nohara house, but Mitzi’s in an awfully good mood! Could it have anything to do with the Action Bastard Vibrating Bastard Shaft that Shin won at the store that day? Everyone seems to have a different use for it, but they’re all getting off!

“Trading Faces! Part 2!” – Things only get weirder as Hiro comes home… This is not what was meant by role playing!
