theOtaku.com Anime Podcast V - Ep. 23

A Roamin' Catholic! What's red and shaped like a bucket?

Late podcast is late. Also, it's a solo show with Batou being a no-go. It's... quite amusing.

Caption Battle: I'm Not Hugging You...

"It's that time again..."
"To ?"
"To ?"
"No... it's time for this week's caption battle!"

But first, last week's winners:

In third place, for thinking outside this week's collective unconscious: nodokachan!

Haruko: Nothing says cool, moody pop star like this pose.

In second place, probably my personal favourite of the week: ThePockyGirl!

Haruko: I'm a little teapot, short and stout... here is my handle and here is my knife.

And in the coveted first place... I'll not go in detail as to why... Mercury Dragon!

Haruko: Time for your prostate exam.

Lean beef. What do you call a sleepwalking nun?

Batou's comin' to Sakura-Con. Booyah. Also, Tim's ex is apparently more attractive than Haruhara Haruko. Go fig. Also, all four of them are here this week which is cool - Chigo's probably fired, though. Ah well. Oh yeah, don't forget to comment!
