What is even happening?

A reference to the White Sox.
You know, the hose/sox things totally escaped me the first time. I thought you must have meant to type "horse". Duh on me.

It's endearing, until he does it several times in a row. Then it's just a pain.
That happened here with "Cowboy up" in 2003. I feel your pain.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

That happened here with "Cowboy up" in 2003. I feel your pain.

Yeah, but "Cowboy up" was one year. They've always been the Pale Hose.

Part of that antiquated sportswriter lingo from the early century where they'd call the pennant a "gonfalon."

The evil is this way?

The real question is, why are the called the White Sox? When anyone can see that they wear black socks.

Back in the day (end of the 19th Century/beginning of 20th Century) the players wore white hose. Hence the name. As I recall, this wasn't uncommon. I seem to remember that the Cincinnati Reds were originally the Redstockings -- thus the name "Reds" came from the color of their socks.

Are white socks too dainty? Is it a guilt thing over the 1919 scandal?

Hee. No. They were the White Sox well before they threw the World Series ("Say it isn't so, Joe!!")

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."

But that's what I mean! They were the White Sox, and wore white socks, and now they're the White Sox, and wear black socks. I mean, the Reds at least have red on their uniforms, and red socks, even though they're not called the Red Stockings any more. The Red Sox wear red socks, when/if they do the short-pants thing, and those who eschew short pants still understand that, if they were to show leg, it would be clad in red.

But, "White Sox" wearing black socks? Somebody needs to send Ozzie a color-wheel.

Just figured I'd drop back in to mention -- Nick's publicist checked with Fox, and the Times mention isn't true. The show hasn't been yanked.

Now don't forget to watch tonight! John Larroquette guest stars!

Our wings are not tired.

Oh! I like John too.

Oh, I'm so glad. I can't wait. It's a funny show.

"Either it's murder, or this library has a very strict overdue policy."

Yay! Too bad John Cho isn't a regular though.

Michelle Rodriguez has a nice piece in zap2it:

This isn't all that spoilery as much as it tells us more about Michelle. However, it does tell a bit about her character and the people she's with on the island.
