The steak means that you're not a godless, leftist, vegan, but the eggs suggest that you're cool with abortions.

haha "went on Air Force One." Which sounds like poop. Poupon. And now we're back to the mustard thing.

Is there a Ralph's around here?

Wasn't Patriot Patty the lesbian in the Charlie Brown cartoons?

That would have been a great tag for the episode, actually.

Yeah, I'd say that BBT is one of the shows that does a better job of at least trying to keep a continuity going. I've seen the odd Penny Blossom here and there, and there's been at least two call backs to rock-paper-scissors-lizard-Spock.

Staircase scenes
Noel, you're exactly right. I was at the taping of The Lizard-Spock Expansion a few months ago, and there's only one set of stairs, and it's set in between the two apartments. Whenever they have an extended walking-up-the-stairs sequence, they have to cut and redress, as you suspected.

Are you suggesting a "Weekend at Bernie's" scenario with Pearl Bailey's corpse, Fhtagn? Because I would watch that.

I wrote lots of poetry in high school as well. I'd share it with you all, except I'm pretty sure they've painted the stalls in the bathrooms by now.

I was at the taping of "The Lizard-Spock Expansion" in October, and it gave me a whole new appreciation for the multi-camera sitcom. No laugh tracks were used, by the way.

It's a great little theme song, and a great little show.

Dragon's Lair. Man, I must've played that game… twice.

I always played 1943. I would always think that if we only had the technology to summon tidal waves from fighter planes, we might have won WWII.

Plus, he has no qualms about showering in the same room as a dead guy.

Who knew that part of Special Forces training included color coordination and terms like "bunting?"

Did I miss a scene at the beginning, or did it seem as though Bryce Larkin just appeared from out of nowhere? The little bunker under the fro-yo place doesn't seem like it's that big, so how long had Bryce been there? And was he just hiding in the back for Beckman to say his name to Sarah so that he could make a grand…

with fries.

Chuck will get a paycheck one of these days. Like, maybe next week.

This show has relied heavily on references to Spies Like Us—up to and including this episode, wherein the bad guys have their secret base under a drive in movie theater. I half expected BB King to show up and ask if someone wanted a Pepsi.

"I didn't pick up on any of the so-called lesbian references throughout the show."
