Yep. Did you also notice that the celeb that Keith is working security for is Dawn? I wonder if the casting director is a Buffy fan? 😃  
Maybe later this season Xander will get some work…

While previews have been misleading before, from the peeks into next week’s eppy it certainly seems like Claire is going to be exporing her bisexuality.

I’ve always wondered if there might be something psychotic about Arthur. During his interview with Rico he mentioned that he was raised by his Aunt Pearl, because both of his parents died in a fire. I’m kinda curious about that fire.

I can’t let go of this Urban Legend thing. Although it wouldn’t work with standard sex dolls (too heavy), you _could_ make some human-shaped mylar balloons. These would be too flimsy to have sex with, but they would be buoyant when filled with helium, and you could release a bunch of them at a strategic spot and see if anybody flips out and thinks it’s the Rapture. Worth a try.

Did I miss something here? Wasn’t it Cameron Diaz he was guarding? Or am I on crack? Mmm… crack.

\*And Trachtenberg plays a young, diva-ish singer for whom Keith (Michael St. Patrick) provides private security. This comes after plans for Drew Barrymore, then Cameron Diaz, fell through (as I reported a while back). \*

To me there has always seemed like there was something more to Arthur. He’s just a little too strange. We haven’t really seen him get mad either, and George is pushing his buttons. I wouldn’t be surprised at all if he sent the poop.

Loved seeing Andrew, if only for a cameo–not thrilled about Dawn.  
And “Xander” will need to get out of rehab before he starts working. Poor guy, I think he’s a one-note act.

In re: Arthur, I’ve been waiting to see what his true purpose, besides being very odd (which is normal on this show) is. Maybe the Tupperware-fresh poop is the beginning of us seeing his flip side.

Ever since Arthur appeared on the scene, he’s been cast as an OC personality with some disturbing psychotic tendencies. They may be building this to a psychotic break episode wherein Arthur gets written out of the series (since his usefulness to the plotline is about done).

Paging the Mythbusters. Paging the Mythbusters… 😃

Maybe they used hydrogen? Oh the humanity!

I thought Formica came from _Formica_, the Latin name for the genus that includes our ant friends.

Carry on.

Nah. Krohner(?) went backrupt a couple of years ago. She’s out of the picture.

So, are we going to have an urban legend as Death of the Week every week? Two for two so far.

Maybe somebody dies on Coke and Pop Rocks next week.

I just watched the episode again tonight, and it’s growing on me. It left me a little cold on my first viewing. I think Arthur sent the dookie, but I’ve been wrong before.

At first I had thought that Arthur was too obvious a suspect as the giver of George’s “gift”; I assumed it had something to do with his mysterious past (ex-wives, estranged children). But I see that your explanation is the most logical.

and just perhaps so will all the straight male & lesbian audience of 6FU _L_

I haven’t watched that much of 6FU, Lauren Ambrose hasn’t shown anything, has she?

I totally loved her in Psycho Beach Party (which btw, does have Xander).
