Alright, I will add one, but it is not quite the thing because he only order this when he could not get what he wanted: 1. A glass of warm gin with a human hair in it. ---

No one’s done fava beans and a nice chianti yet? (that’s the only one I know, along with “shaken, not stirred”). ---

I had described the Winchesters already but I don’t recall Sam ever eating a chicken salad. Whoever mentioned Fox Mulder a while ago was right. Ditto on the Beavis and Butthead answer. ---

> [@vivalostwages](#): > > I had described the Winchesters already but I don’t recall Sam ever eating a chicken salad. Mine was in post 15 while yours was post 25, so if you want to get technical… I know we’ve seen Sam eat and order salads a few times (in The Monster at the End of This Book, I think he orders a cobb salad). I suppose they weren’t necessarily chicken, though. ---

> [@Robot\_Arm](#): > > If I remember correctly, the Thin Man was like the Pink Panther; everybody thinks it’s a reference to the main character, but originally it was something else. The thin man in the title of the novel and film refers to the prime suspect. The next couple film titles were cleverly ambiguous (“After the Thin Man,” “Another Thin Man”), but by “The Thin Man Goes Home” the name had clearly stuck to Nick Charles (although no one ever called him that _within_ the films). > [@Shodan](#): > > 57 - Edmund Pevensie. Correct. From the Chronicles of Narnia, of course. We have two 60s but no 35. **35.** Roasts of beef and mutton, and whole flocks of geese and turkeys and fowls disappear into his mouth. A roast of beef of which he had to make more than two mouthfuls was seldom seen, and he ate them bones and all. A goose or a turkey was but one bite.
