The episodes tend not to be available year-round (only a few at a time within a window). The joke is so quickly missed and is something I would not imagine there could be such a wide variety of ways to phrase it, that I am surprised it has as many variations as it does, so I wanted to jot all those down |
| Faster-Than/Etc Idioms, and Feelings | I think I figured out a good way to get guys to speak about their feelings: have them express those feelings idiomatically.
