by Dr. Susan Block. Broadcasting live on February 29, we honor this ancient, traditional day for ladies to assert their sexual power over the gentlemen of their choosing. Since the beginning of human civilization, female sexual power has been the subject of great male desire, coupled with abject fear. Maybe that’s why Leap Day or Leap Year Day occurs only once every four years. Why Leap Day? Scientifically speaking, Leap Day is an extra, “special” day (and night) added to the Gregorian calendar in “leap years” because the Earth does not orbit the sun in precisely 365 days, but rather closer to 365.25. Therefore, we have to get that 366th day in there once every four years, or after a few years. Otherwise, the Equinox would fall on the Solstice, nobody would know when to celebrate anybody’s birthday, and everybody would be confused.

We don’t realize it’s the Wiccan harvesting holiday of Lammas (Anglo Saxon: “loaf-mass”), a.k.a. Lughnasadh, until the last third of the show when sultry Cici the Wicked Wiccan Witch informs us as she strips down to nothing but her slave bracelets and lip gloss to perform Bonoboville Communion in honor of Lugh the Celtic god of corn and craftiness. But in retrospect, this whole show is a fitting celebration of the Wiccan “feast of the first fruits,” as the gals and guys of Bonoboville taste the fruits of each other’s nipples and toast the fruitage of our new social media site (inspired by the real bonobos). We’re still in beta, but getting’ bettah!
