[/quote]

The original nominal reason was that he believed JD had put a coin in the door and jammed it. He later claimed he has a habit of just randomly choosing one person in a group to hate, and JD was the lucky winner in this particular lottery.

Because when you’ve gone without long enough, you are not responsible for your actions when you get a chance at some action.

He has also said, “I don’t pick them, they pick me” – implying he simply feels a compulsion based on some unidentifiable mixture of geekiness and smugness in his victim.

1. What are Todd’s underwear/briefs called?

Banana hammocks.

New question:  
130. We’ve established that the air band was called Cool Cats. What was Kelso’s dismissive nickname for it?

Dead people should stay dead!!

I have a question that’s not trivia…Carla tells JD she never went to college. Don’t you need to have a college degree to go to nursing school?

Johnny was the old navy buddy whose name Kelso has tattooed on his ass. The helicopter pilot was Charlie; Kelso was telling the interns that the chopper used to hover about eight feet off the ground and he’d jump in.

1. Plugging in his Ipod

2. Carla threatens the plaintiff

[/QUOTE]

I believe she starts licking him while they are trying to watch Sanford and Son, allowing Turk to sing (to the tune of Sanford and Son):  
“Babe don’t do that, cause we’re trying to watch the show.  
So please shut up, and don’t be lickin’ me no more.  
Matter fact, could you get me a handi-wiiiiiiipe!”
