Ahhh… Puerto Rican!

I don’t know why but that had me laughing everytime Liz said it. And I’m Puerto Rican.

_“She’s spirited, like a show horse”._ Liked the not so subtle BSG and Mad Men references. 😉

I never thought the phrase, “What the frak” could turn me on so much.

“Don’t you have a Slanket to put parts into?”

And was Liz singing “night cheese” or “knife cheese?”

“Night cheese”. She was up at 4:00am eating a plate of cheeses in her [del]snuggie[/del] slanket. That is _so_ Liz Lemon. 😃 And she snuke back in for the cheeses while Jack & Elisa were talking. You just know she was planning on eating the whole plate in one sitting.

We don’t have cable/satellite and they refuse to watch the original show, so my kids didn’t make the “What the frak?” reference, but it was a while before I could whisper, “Battlestar Galactica.” Didn’t want to miss a word, and I was [too distracted.](http://www.tmz.com/2009/02/11/salma-hayek-got-breast-milk/7)

I thought it was “farts,” not “parts.”

Funny episode, but they really need to do away with the “Oh look at Liz Lemon, she’s so unattractive!” bit. The writers put it in at least twice per show, and the joke doesn’t work because Tina Fey is _at least_ moderately attractive. There’s just no humor to be found there, and even if there were, that well went dry a loooong time ago. Like the second episode of the series.

They can kinda get away with Liz Lemon is not attractive when she is in the same scene with Selma Hayak, but not otherwise. Tina Fey is a hawtie.

I know _I_ won’t be satisfied until Salma Hayak demonstrates she’s not a man.

How about the Saving Private Ryan reference? Beautiful!

I thought this was another great episode. The consistency on this show is fantastic.

I consider the fact that they didn’t shoot the kiss between Tina and Salma from a good angle to be a crime against humanity.
