“Shake it like a polar bear ninja!” If you suspect that these are not the correct lyrics to Outkast’s “Hey Ya!”, then this week’s game of mondegreens (misheard lyrics) is for you. We’ll also visit the world of late-night infomercials, learn how to tell the difference between Michael Caine and Anthony Hopkins, and root for our favorite gluttonous, envious, lustful basketball team: the Phoenix Sins. Plus, V.I.P. David Rees teaches us how to sharpen pencils the artisanal way.
