Just plain great episode. I loved the Grizzly Adams sleeping bag, [imoscar.com](http://imoscar.com/), the boy finding the severed hand, and the Susan Smith references. Man, they haven’t slowed a bit, have they? ---

EVAR! “I want to get a Volvo.” “That’s not a Volv-_o_.” “No, that’s from when I was sitting on the copier.” Holy crap, that was brilliant tonight.

Is it my imagination, or does this show have a strong incestuous element to it? Is it my imagination, or did the SAD statue have an inscription reading “He came!”? Nah… ---

> [@tdn](#): > > Is it my imagination, or did the SAD statue have an inscription reading “He came!”? Nah… I noticed that, though I didn’t make the connection. I did get “rub off on your cousin,” though. It’s hard to keep up with the double entendres. ---

Whoops. I meant to link to [this](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=335662) thread. Oh, well, whatever. GREAT episode! “If I had a son, which I don’t…” “He does” ---

Great episode. I almost forgot (yes, I even read the thread reminding not to forget). I’m excited about this season, what sucks though is my schedule will sometimes prevent me from watching. Grr… Dude, Maeby’s hot…in a non-creepy sort of way. ---

Best. Episode. Ever. Okay, so I technically haven’t seen it (I’m saving the recorded pilot 'til later), but I know it will be. How good a fan am I? ---

Wow, that was terrific. I think that’s among their best episodes - the running “something came up” joke was very well done, and then all the variations on people sleeping in cars… man, I love this show. > [@Susie Derkins](#): > > The “musty old claptrap” line had me _howling_. What got me was the _loooong_ beat after she said it. They managed to outdo the “Seaward” joke. 🙂 ---

I was too busy looking at her chest- she’s so skinny these days you can almost see her lungs! What happened? Portia, does Ellen criticize your weight? Don’t listen to her, baby!
