Flemish Giant

I guess I'm a barbarian for never before having heard of the term 'Whistler's Mother', even after being so familiar with this episode, but it's an 1871 painting indeed. I should have guessed the title must have been some cultural reference, rather than a random phrase the writers made up, seeing as nearly all the other episode titles are. Yeah, I always took Maeby's 'the hair that nobody's supposed to see' remark as a pubic hair joke too, which would understandably make George Michael extremely uncomfortable. I presume the reason certain characters (mostly Buster & Tobias) are MIA in certain episodes is a combination of a) the writers not being able to slot them into the, already so densely layered, plots and b) not having to pay the actors for that episode. Always found it funny that the teacher Lucille had go missing is called Mr Vandenbosch, which is one of the most stereotypically common Flemish last names there is, but in the English-speaking world probably comes across 'exotic'. Also the 'sch' is supposed to be pronounced just 's' but then there's millions of imported names from other languages that have their pronunciation changed in some way.

side note, you guys need to watch "The League" after one of your comedy series ends, Its about fantasy football and has several NFL players guest in it. Several seasons worth of content and i think you'll love it.

Those cages were really a thing in the early 2000s. They were called "free speech zones." It was in reaction to all the protests of the Iraq and Afghan wars. I was in a few. It was nuts

Are you guys fans of the IT Crowd? In maybe the best episode (S2E1) where they see "Gay! The Gay Musical" there's a song in it where they sing "I'm a friend of Dorothy!"
