I thought Howard was Wolowizard, right? Or was that just a typo...

Ok, just finished reading the whole thing. I always thought it was funny how the video and the real thing were different, especially since we had JUST seen it. XD

Keep these coming, I love 'em! :)

Thank you, and thank you for always replying. They're a lot of work and I like knowing that they're being read. :)

[wasabi_girl1]

We're most definitely reading, no worries!

I've begun using bat-crap crazy and the scanners thing on a regular basis. Probably shouldn't mention that, but I can't even help it. They're so worth it. Awesome expansion on the episode! :D

Ever since rewatching this episode, I've been using it a lot. I think beyond the Scanners bit, it's my favorite part, LOL!

This one was odd; it was very funny, had some fabulous Leonard moments, but yet both Leonard and Sheldon were somewhat out of character, as was Penny to a slight degree.

I’m glad you mentioned this, because this episode also seemed very odd to me, and I couldn’t figure out why until I read what you wrote. I kept excepting Penny to take Leonard shopping, since he didn’t have anything decent to wear.

This is also an episode that I tend to skip over, but I think next time I watch this I’m going to think of it as slightly AU.

It was just out of character, sadly in the case of Leonard because he was the most likable I've yet to see him in an episode. Ah well.

Something I noticed after rewatching was at the end when Penny tried to "blow up" Howard's head, Sheldon was smiling, looking very pleased, which I thought was sweet.

[arabian]

Yeah, I noted at the end of the episode recap, both Sheldon and Leonard grinned at each other over her doing that.

For me, one of the funniest (and nostalgic) things on this episode is the joke. The first time I heard it was in the mid-1990s, as a freshman (what is the feminine form?) in Physics. One of our teachers decided to introduce us to the world of geeky humour with a sequence of Maths and Physics jokes. Good memories :)

[arabian]

I am brain-dead at science and sadly, did not get the joke ... at all! LOL!

[tensorial]

Ok, I'll explain it

Oh. Googled "Spherical * in vacuum" to try and get some examples for you, and found that this joke has an entry on Wikipedia...
