I can’t believe I have to reply to myself again. But that link is the same bleeped clip that was on the show. I swear it didn’t used to be. It was one long diatrible about diarrhea flying out of his ass and Michael having to eat that and on and on. I sincerely hope I didn’t imagine it.

She is supposed to be on the show as Michael’s new love interest. She was/is supposed to play some sort of religious zealot that feels it’s taboo to kiss, touch, do anything before you’re married so they’d get around anything unseemly. Will Arnett was on one of the late night shows talking about it. He said Jason was always trying to make out with her on set. But the rumor is that since the idea has leaked, that Mitchell Hurwitz may have decided not to go in that direction. This [link](http://us.imdb.com/news/wenn/2004-09-07#celeb5) mentions it briefly. But I would imagine has been filmed if Arnett spoke of it on TV.

Yeah, I found that link before, too, when you mentioned it. Could it perhaps be on the DVD, and Fox took it off the site for that reason?

Some brilliant editing. When Michael and Maeby go to the party, they find G.O.B. yelling at a Bluth employee next to a dolly full of liquor. He says “-cking $6,300 suit! _Come on!_”

A couple of minutes later, we flash back to G.O.B. stealing the booze from Lucille’s place and cut to the office. The same Bluth employee asks “Hey, need a hand with that?” G.O.B. says “No, Al. I want to spill booze all over my f-”

I’m still laughing over “Shemalé”

_I’m_ glad they dropped that plotline, or I’d have had to stop watching the show.
