On today's action-packed episode of THE TOTH ZONE: MARVEL!! at the mysterious Van That Only Drove at Night! SQUIRM!! at the revolting practice of “table scoring!” GASP!! at the tale of a touring band operating under the influence of the zodiac! ...and much more! Enjoy! (PS: I apologize if I sounded condescending when I defined the word “biweekly” at the end of the episode. The truth is I can never remember if biweekly means occurring once every two weeks or occurring twice a week. I looked it up and it seems both are correct, which is very confusing. Hence the explanation.)
