>Pine Nuts and Pineapple Pie>

TaDa! Please keep this thread going, it's been great fun, and I want to see it pass the 200 responses mark at least. Good night, sleep tight, and don't let the bed bugs bite (as my Grandma used to tell us as she tucked us into her roll away feather bed).

Drink&Smoke: A thought - on another TV message board I've been on (for a different show) we had a quote game. People would post a quote from the show and others had to identify what character said it and the name of the episode in which it was said. Do you think we could play that game here? Do people know the episodes that well? It's really fun, but it requires a certain insane level of fandom and knowledge of the show.
