I loved the names of the high school couple: Heather Chandler (From Heathers) and Mark Ratner (From Fast Times at Richmont High). ---

I did pick up on Mark Ratner right away, but then I just saw part of Fast Times the other day. I could not figure out why Heather Chandler sounded familar. Thank you for that. ---

Ah - I didn’t pick up on either name, but on hearing hers was Heather, I though to myself, “Of course she’s a Heather.” I should have realized Mark Ratner sounded familiar. I’m so ashamed of losing so much 80’s cred. ☹ ---

> [@Charlie\_Tan](#): > > Am I over interpretating this or was the clean up of the Buy More a shout out to Risky Business. I was thinking the same exact thing lol. As far as the “Jenny” fakeout, her other pseudonyms were also Jenny, so it’s possible that her first name, at least, is real. I think I remember her telling Chuck her real middle name at some point too. ---

Chuck didn’t hear her say “Lisa” is her middle name. He was out of earshot. And the fake names were: Katie O’Connell, Rebecca Franklin, Jenny Burton (and Sarah Walker). ---

You have sharper ears than me. I thought al the first names were Jenny and only the last names were different… :smack: ---

The show always manages to feel like a warm hug of cuteness. Casey is a waiter! Casey is “good cop!” Casey is DJ!" I wonder how crazy they’ll get with that. Okay, show of hands. Hot chick shows up, encounters Sarah. Anyone here _not_ think there was going to be a fight? Last week they suggested the Asian punker goth girl at Buy More might get recruited. Was she even in this episode? Maybe she did get recruited. :eek: ---

This is quickly becoming one of my favorite shows. It’s consistently a lot of fun. I thought Nicole Ritchie did just fine. I actually always thought she was odd looking, but she looked good in this episode. I think the pregnancy agreed with her. The messy cheeseburger lined totally whooshed me, but that is freakin’ hilarious now that I have it pointed out. Yes- Chuck passed on the Asst Managership because he thought he was going to be leaving the Buy More. No- Yvonne Strahovsky is not “just striking” but otherwise average looking. If that is the case, may all women be merely “striking”. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/chuck-10-20-chuck-vs-the-cougars/468843.md?page=1)
