To hell with Randy. We’ve found Catalina’s true purpose in life. ---

Pretty damned funny. “So I got up bright and early…” The clock/radio said 11:00. “Nine o’clock is pretty early for a guy like me…” “Eight o’clock is pretty early for a guy like me…” etc. “I’m gonna have to wrassle you, aren’t I?” - Earl, resignedly “Yes.” - Grandma, sweetly Loved Randy trying out different jobs. And my reaction to shaving the guy before his vasectomy would be identical to his. Loved how Earl would call the one-legged girl in the donut shop, pick out his donuts, and leave cash on the counter. And I gotta say, just about any episode with Catalina in it is worth the cost of admission. ---

> [@bouv](#): > > Holy crap! Apparantly, Nadine Valazquez (Catalina) posed for Stuff last month! She looks great, but for some reason she looks especially incredible in the Jeans and a T-shirt which she usually sports on Earl. Something about it just is _right_. Of course, I’d still be lined up at the door for her performance at Club Chubby. Did any else think something more was going to happen when she came into the room when Randy was blind? ---

:smack: I just got it. I thought Club Chubby was a strip club featuring overweight strippers, and I’m thinking “Man! Catalina lost a lot of weight!” Double :smack: ---

I thought this exchange was great: **Joy** : Jackass tried to rob a liquor store with a crossbow. **Earl** (reading headline): “Jackass Tries to Rob a Liquor Store With a Crossbow”. Wow, I didn’t think you could say jackass in the newspaper. **Joy** : World’s changin’, Earl. You’d be surprised at what those asswipes in the media are allowed to get away with. There’s a picture of the stupid douchebag at the bottom. Heh – nice little commentary on what’s allowed on prime time TV now. 😉 ---

“You know what? I think I’m just going to close my eyes and power through it.” That line (from Randy’s prison chat buddy) also cracked me up. ---

I missed a few minutes tonight so I was wondering why Earl couldn’t just go into the shop and buy the donuts himself. As always I loved the episode, especially Randy! ---

I think the one-legged girl is sort of an ongoing gag that pops up from time to time. In one of the first episodes, when he first made his list, one of the flashback scenes was after reading one of the items, which said, “stole a car from a one-legged girl” – the flashback had her hopping out into the street after him, with a shotgun, I think. Then in another episode, I think it started with a bit with the one-legged girl – unfortunately, I missed the first few minutes, so I don’t have all the details. Those scenes with her hopping back and forth to the phone tonight were cracking me up… 🙂 ---

Isn’t that the one-legged girl he stole a car from? She looks like she’s going to be the hardest person to cross off his list. Every time she sees him she tries to kill him. ---

She also has the no-legged boyfriend who chased Earl down on prostheics and kicked his ass. ---

I wondered why he didn’t and go buy the damn paper from a box. I know he promised, but a paper is a paper… And I’m right behind Omniscient at the door of Club Chubby ---

> [@Voyager](#): > > I wondered why he didn’t and go buy the damn paper from a box. I know he promised, but a paper is a paper… I’m 99% sure that it was a newspaper from his small hometown, one which his Uncle has mailed to him special, and not available in Anytown, USA where the show seems to be set. ---
