Ricolaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
“That’s like saying Michael Jordan has a basketball problem or Def Leopard has an awesomeness problem.”
It was worth the watch just for that, and Joy playing at Dr. Phil.
Did anyone else literally gasp when Catalina started running from the cops? Boing, boing, boing.
Ricolaaaaaa!
We both literally laughed so hard we had to stop the show for a minute. Talk about the perfect line coming totally out of left field!
And Papa Tiger was kind of sorry Catalina grabbed her boobs while running in her stripper suit; he was hoping for a wardrobe malfunction. 
great episode.
I loved the fact that Katalina tried to use a Go Kart drivers license.
Pour some sugar on that!
I’m madly in love with Marlee Matlin.
You know, I actually have wondered how the deaf deal with flirting with or dating the hearing. The translators would get awkward.
Another good episode, I loved all the little things. I now am very eager for next weeks episode. I felt like the show ended almost abruptly.
“I knew Mumato* should not have gone negative”
Sign above bed:
I don't eat people
As Randy is going through Catalina’s purse the Pen-kleptomaniac asks “Any pens in there”.
The minimum wage slave having to tell the Delivery guy, " I am not wearing panties today"
The return of Ricolaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa of course, second time he did the joke and just as funny. Last time was in the Water Tank.
The Chicken poop gambling ring proprietor describing the location was great.
Catalina trying to run away in her stripper outfi…
I’m sorry, what was I saying?

- I probably got the name wrong
The pen thief was Nescobar A-Lop-Lop, originally from Earl’s ESL class and now apparently a recurring character.
Earl teaching the gay guy how to be macho was pretty damned funny, too. I’d forgotten the Ricolaaaaaaaaa from the dangling-in-the-water-tank episode. Damn, this is a good show!
A nitpick: they’re doing the gag too much with Earl pausing to think, so you think he’s going to do the right, Karma-friendly thing… and then he announces he’s gonna do what he wants to after all. They’ve done that at least three times in the past couple of episodes.
Just a heads up, it looks like next week is two episodes (a two parter, presumably about getting Catalina back.) Starts at 8.
(Thank you imdb for now showing air times of TV shows.)
I thought for sure Earl was going to lose Catalina’s money. I guess karma still likes him.
I loved the Ricolaaaaaaaaaaaaa. Joy is not taking birth control pills, and it’s not her fault, she has a disease. :rolleyes:
Hey…aren’t all the actors Scientologists? How did they go along with the pills for Joy’s “illness”? Hmmm…
…which sets them up for writing Jamie Pressley’s pregnancy into the show. I wondered if they were going to do that or try to cover it up. Joy’s pregancy will bring a new level of hilarity to the show.
As soon as I saw Catalina in her stripper outfit, I thought to myself, “The Straight Dope guys are going to be talking about this tomorrow.” It appears I was correct. 
I’m a straight female but DAMN, she’s got a great body!
I believe only Earl (Jason Lee) and Randy (Ethan Suplee) are scientologist and they do not appear to be very active in it or outspoken like Crazy Cruise.
Neither have have spoken about it in public. Apparently you can be a scientologist without being completely brainwashed or braindead, who would have thunk it?

I just remember Kirstie Alley wouldn’t guest star on Frasier because the show was about a psychiatrist. Granted, I don’t know much about Scientology except their declared war against psychiatry, and I was surprised that a show with two Scientologists as major stars would have another character “pop pills” for a “mental disorder.”
My WAG is that they are not active members. Jason Lee’s real life friend and friend on the show Giovanni Ribisi was raised Scientologist.
Giovanni is more active and has participated in some news worthy Scientology events. His twin sister Marissa is married to Beck who despite being clever, intelligent and witty and seemingly a nice guy, is also ::shudder:: a Scientologist.
Like any religion, it would appear that we should not use a broad brush to paint all members of said religion. Not every Christian is a crazed bible thumbing Fundy like Pat Robertson and not every Scientologist is a borderline insane idiot that continually embarrasses themselves in public.

Did Earl ever get the money wired to Catalina’s family? I’d hate for her brother to lose that eleventh finger to a weasel.
Well, it wasn’t exactly a rousing endorsement of chemical therapy, was it? I thought they were clearly going for the “pills are the lazy man’s way out” message.
Hey, who was the guy playing the chicken gambling bookie? I coulda sworn he was Kadeem Hardison, only, y’know, old and stuff. But it’s not on his IMDB listing, nor is anyone talking about it online. Am I going crazy?
Good point. I hear Scientology and think Tom Cruise bashing Brooke Shields.
