#11: Harum Scarum

Murph's out of town this week (well, further out of town than usual).  The rest of The Cru get a little... hare-brained in his absence.  Stories run the gamut from crazy cat ladies to Joan of Arc, with a healthy does of Stepford disturbia for good measure. IF your podcast provider does not support chapters, you can skip to 1:33 for the banter; 11:03 for Krispy's story; 24:48 for WebEater's; and 36:35 for The Lotus'. From Brewer's Dictionary of Phrase and Fable: Harum Scarum. Giddy, hare-brained, or a person so constituted.  The term perhaps comes from 'hare,' 'to harass,' and 'scare,' a form of 'stare,' with a possible additional allusion to the madness of a March hare. Like this weeks episode and wish you could read as well as listen?
