You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

More from the Wheel of Fortune arc in Previously:

meara -

So, wait, in Australia, someone from a Trollope novel hosts Wheel of Fortune?? Good LORD, people!

Wait, does that mean other fictional characters exist down there too? <considers buying ticket to go ambush a few favorites...>

Angus G -

Not only that meara, all our puzzles are titles of Victorian novels. We're very educated here...well, all except the contestant who once had to buy a vowel for "M_DDL_M_RCH".

No disk utility in the world is going to save you when your hard drive's head makes an unscheduled landing in Plattersville.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

In The Two Towers (whitefonted JIC, though not particularly spoilery):

Amber

The Ents were fabulous

Betsy

Treebeard! Darling! Love what you did with the bark.

Thanks for all the fish.

Huh... Good thing you whited that out... That would have ruined things for me..

I lob them in, Connie knocks them out of the park, in natter:

DX -

The Core looks like it could be the Worst. Movie. Ever. It looks like it's basically Armageddon, but going down, rather than up, and Jon opined Friday night that's probably exactly how it was pitched to the execs who greenlighted it.

Theodosia -

Yeah, the lack of The Core trailer was sad, because it's impossible to really convey how truly awful it was, like Campbell's Condensed Armageddon Soup, all in a minute-and-a-half trailer form.

Plei in Bitchy Fic, re: characters we love and their chances of ever knowing one bit of happiness.

I'm torn between wanting to torture them even more, and wanting to feed them soup.

Swouncing

scrappy in Natter:

I, for one, find it comforting to know that important economic news that the nation will read in the Wall Street Journal and base future policy on is being prepared by people who have been up all night carousing.

If I only had a brain...

Ms. Havisham: "So the most difficult present to wrap this year is my mom's body
pillow."

Dana: I gotta say, the line break there really gave me pause.

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

Connie Neil, Dude Where's My Precious, with a surprisingly insightful quip:

I think Mrs. Denethor went to her reward a long time ago. Being a mom in a fantasy world is a dangerous business.
