I guess in my rather limited (ie. once) experience, my incubator was 10 weeks in before she took a test to be sure\*.

\*Of course, she also took one one week before…didn’t do much good, that one

Oh yeah, and my favorite bit…

When talking about taking a horse ride on the beach, JD says to Turk something like, “It’ll be like when we went, but with two horses.”

The JD/Turk ‘practically gay’ jokes have been going on for five years now, and they still manage to make me laugh so hard it hurts.

Nobody in my house could understand the Simpsons joke that Carla and Elliot made.

What was it?

Put me in the “Not JD’s baby” camp.

They made out, but they were on an unfinished porch out in the open. No chance for the down and dirty.

No date for 2 1/2 weeks.

Nope, she was pregnant before she and JD started going out, and just found out about it.

I hope Perry and Jordan have a little girl this time. It will be fun to watch Dr. Cox go all Father Protector on a little Coxette.

Yuck on Todd whipping off his towel to reveal his banana sling. I’m going have nightmares, thanks much.

I believe the term you are looking for is “banana hammock.”

It sounded like they were trying to do Nelson Muntz’, “hah ha,” but if that’s true, it was the worst Nelson I’ve ever heard.

They were, but they said, “Nwah, ha!” instead of, “Ha, ha!” for some reason.

A misfire in the teleplay or by the director.

I hope Perry and Jordan remarry at some point…maybe in the series finale some day.

By the way, I think the correct term that JD used was “crymaxing.” It works even better than “crygasming.”

How could they have done the dirty deed? The porch was surrounded!

It’s always been backwards - they address thsi on the commentaries on the DVDs. Bill Lawrence, the creator (and Christa Miller’s husband) says it was originally a mistake, but then left it that way, since they’re ‘scrubs’ and expected to make mistakes anyway.

And is Jack played by Christa and Bill’s real kid? He looks a lot like Bill Lawrence. It’s funny that he gets lines now, and that they have to subtitle them. “I pooped in my bed and put it on the TV!”  
I liked his line from two weeks ago. “Daddy drinks a lot.”  
Anyone know if Christa Miller is pregnant IRL?

Someone’s not the adventuring type.

Yes, could have been done. Recall that one time JD got lucky it was in a closet at a funeral - with the widow.

🙂

I love that they have subtitles for him. Too funny.

I could swear he’s Christa Miller’s kid - he looks just like her - but he’s not named what her kid is named. I THINK that his last name, when they’ve run him in the credits, is Miller, but the first name is totally different from her kid’s name. OTOH, they could be doing that on purpose. I’ve thought he was her kid since the first time he showed up.

You’re right. My brain froze up at that scene.

What’s this, the producer (Bill Lawrence) and Jordan are a couple in real life?

If by ‘a couple’ you mean married for several years and have two kids, then, yes, they’re a couple. 😉

And I, too, was squicked out by The Todd’s banana hammock. For a second I thought he was naked. It was just too flesh-colored.

Well, considering it’s Hollywood, I didn’t want to assume. Neat piece of trivia.

I do think she and McGinley are perfect together. The exact balance of I Hate You Too Much to Marry You but I Love You Too Much to Leave You.

When women are trying to conceive, it’s common to talk about the “two week wait,” between ovulation and when your period’s due. So someone with regular cycles could easily have noticed she was late and taken a test, and the timing of the interlude would be right. Or, she could have gotten pregnant before, and have a longer cycle or irregular, and only now found out.

**Merijeek** , IIRC, when you find out you’re pregnant, you magically become retroactively pregnant for two weeks before you really were, according to the messed up way they measure. Not really relevant, just a bizarre bit of trivia from the world of gestation.

I adored the revenge on the vasectomy doctor. The look of grim determination on Ted’s face was a riot. “When do they say ribs?” “Never. They never say ribs.”
