BEST OF 2008

good afternoon poppets and kitties.

we are BACK ON THE AIR today after a delicious little hiatus and that weasel sean and i are ready to ring in the new year with some dope ass beets.

but before we can put 2008 behind us altogether, we'd like to revisit some of the bests and worsts of 2008 during the Best Ofs installment of BEAKER AND HONEYDEW.

Join us. Tune in. Or better yet, call in and tell us your faves. Tell us your mom's faves. Even though we already know. ;) ;) The new year is full of cuddles. for you.
