Being Monday, we had to hit you with a new episode of the podcast… but this one probably should have been left in the oven a bit longer.

Poor Pandalicious has having some serious internet issues which left Evermore with a hell of a job editing a show together, but they pulled it off pretty damn well if you ask me. In this episode of the podcast, Panda shares her top five video games of 2008 [so far] with you. There are a couple of honorable mentions and a list that I only have a single problem with. Let’s see if you can guess which game gives me the heebie geebies.

Have a seat and enjoy: My Top 5: Video Games of 2008.

Gauging by the title of this week’s show, there’s more going on than just the usual anime, manga and videogames.

In this episode, Pandalicious discusses the anime Paprika, MagicMysticGrl talks about the manga MeruPuri: Marchen Prince and NinjaSistah brings up the latest videogame news.

The rejected titles for the episode? Right here:

ESH Myths Revealed: Ninja Has Three Boobs

A Horse Dissected Cannot Stand

So enjoy this week’s podcast Episode 98: This Podcast Is Ribbed for Your Pleasure.

The Sistahs discuss both the unpronounceable and the unspeakable in this week’s podcast, and it’s a guaranteed hoot and a half.

First up is MagicMystic’s telling of an anime called Mnemosyne. While you won’t lose your head over this tale, you might lose a hand.

Next, Ninjasistah and Pandalicious discuss their love for the gangsters, ho’s and bitches in Grand Theft Auto IV. Sure, the game’s violent and profane, but also loveable in its own twisted way.

Along the way, Panda even coins a new word: V’jayhole. You’ll have to hear it to believe it.

Anyway, you’ve seen the title of this week’s podcast. Here are the ones the Sistahs rejected:

You’ve just been Panderized!

I Wouldn’t Be Surprised to See Myself On World’s Stupidest Drunk Drivers

Go ahead and take a listen to Episode 97: Cops Don’t Like It When You Shoot Them.

In anticipation of Mother’s Day next weekend, we’ve put together a very special episode of ElectricSistaHood (and we swear that, unlike Blossom, nobody’s pregnant). You can listen to it right here.

The episode’s a conglomeration of excerpts, both from the regular podcast and stuff that came from outtakes and pre-show antics, that feature conversations about and with the mother of Pandalicious and Ninjasistah, as well as an excerpt with MagicMysticGrl’s mom.

Here’s a impromptu poem for ESHmom:

M is for the Many times we taped her,
O means that this joke is getting Old.
T is for the Teasing that we gave her,
H means that Hell is getting cold.
E is for the Euros Panda’s needing,
R means you aRen’t going to get a break.

Put them all together, they spell MOTHER.
And your daughter Panda’s on the take.

We’ve interspersed the comments about ESHmom in this podcast with messages from 2007 to the mothers of a fourth grade class at Hoover Elementary School (probably in Council Bluffs, Iowa). The messages are a great counterpoint to the Sistahs’ comments. If you want to hear more of these messages, just look for them at archive.org.

The gang will be recording a new episode next week, so look forward to that. In the meantime, please enjoy this behind-the-scenes tribute to ESHmom and all moms everywhere as we present Episode 96: M Is For the Many Times I Taped You.
