  • Does anyone else's dog have a favourite place to to be sick? For my dog it's the stairs. That high traffic area with the cream carpeting. It's called linoleum, little dog. You'll find it in multiple parts of the house. LOOK IN TO IT.

  • FLIGHT OF THE CONCHORDS. Yeah, I'm not ashamed to have jumped on that bandwagon. ( Two completely random things that cracked me up from episode 3: )

Let's see, you got 2, 8, 9, 11, 12, 13, 24, 25, 26 and 27 correct. So, 10 out of 28. I'm sure you'd have got more if you'd watched it recently. Still! Tisk, tisk!

Dwarf, dwell and...dwigt? Heh, I can't think of the third one.

You're hilarious. The third one was dwindle. But apparently those aren't the only words in the english language that start with "dw". WHOOPS, SORKIN.

Well, that's Margaret and Donna and in the middle there are a bunch of people whose names I couldn't even begin to guess.

Hahah! I thought only one of those people would have been a stretch.

I totally gave you #13 even though I was looking more for what the exact quote was. But you're not wrong!

For 15 you didn't give the correct answer for Jed. I think that's just his job title acronym, but that he has a different secret service name.

I know it's the mayor from Buffy who ends up being the person staying behind

Hahah! While I was watching this I noticed that one of the Ainsley Hayes friends is that red head with the super curly hair who dated Wes on AtS for a while.

I think I have some kind of mental block when it comes to TWW because it's one of the few shows that I started watching before I found online fandom, and kept watching after. I don't take in as much because the first four years were basically spent being just a regular viewer instead of a fan.

I totally gave you #13
You mean 14, not 13, right? Because I didn't even put down that I thought it was a name that ended in ie or y like I was thinking.

Hahah! I thought only one of those people would have been a stretch.
I have such issues with Sorkin and his propensity for giving the characters on all his shows the same names. Dear GOD, buy a baby names book or something!

It's funny that there's a distiction between watching things regularly and watching things watching them as A Fan, but there totally is. Sometimes I kind of resent not being able to just watch certain things casually without paying serious attention and hanging off of every word. It's hard work being fandomy!

Oops, yeah, I meant #14. Good reasoning on that.

Haha! I know what you mean. Like, it's a little bit ridiculous when the two psychiatrists Josh meets with over the course of the show are both named Stanley.
