   306 When can you Devil Egg?

   306 When is it right to Devil Egg? We begin with Simon and Abby discussing Deviled Eggs. Abby loves them. Simon is not a fan. This is follow by discussing the insane names Lorelai has chosen for her various catalogs she has gotten multiple free subscriptions to. Simon then moves to discuss the guest character Jesus’s actor, Ken Davitian and his various roles he has done throughout the years. Then we move on the subject of the town loner, with Abby suggesting there can be no limit in the number of Boo Radley’s a town has. We move to talking about Jess buying a new car, which is the the B storyline. This also begins a debate between Simon and Abby if the town is right to react badly to it. Then we move to the A plot. Sherry’s baby shower which Rory, and later Lorelai will be invited to. . We then are amazed at the idea that Kirk is banned from roller scatting by him Mom at presumably age 30. We move to how the Rabbi and Reverend who operate the church actually want to protect the rights of the town loner and the two actors who portray them, as well as their mocking of Taylor and their suggestion he move to the shakers after he threatens to deconvert from the reverend's denomination and the rabbi says his synagogue won’t take him. And Simon takes great irritation at the suggestion Taylor gives only a dollar a week at church while apparently trying to buy up half of stars hollow’s commercial properties. We have a digression to speculate at what time the Kim clan tells their children about the realities of reproduction. We then return to topic with the scene of Lane and Rory going off on Jess for his car. Simon defends Lane and Rory because Jess didn’t drive off but kept pushing back. Abby defends Jess. We then focus on the baby shower, we both ridicule the apparent idea that you would replace pink with green , and then agree that baby shower games are awful and shouldn’t exist. Then Simon and Abby ponder if Sherry is being obtuse or was she being terrible when suggesting that she can effectively have the town home in Boston be a second home for Rory when Rory is at Harvard. We have a good laugh at the aftermath of Luke, rifleing through Jess’s stuff and getting caught. Overjoyed at Luke asking by implication if Jess had sold his body. Jess shows that is wrong. And in fact he works at , Walmart. Simon says this proves as Jess said his jobs were around town, that a Walmart must exist within the city limits of Star’s Hollow. Then we come to Lorelai and Rory deciding to devilegging his car. Simon defends it due to Jess earlier bringing up Dean mockingly. Abby disagrees. We conclude the town loner arc with Abby upset we never get to find out what the loner was saying or protesting.

   305 Who could say not to Bowie?

   .Board Games Rant, plus who wouldn't want to go to a Bowie Concert We begin by talking about our meal which was quite god. We made piazza and cheesy sticks based on the recopies from the book. This is followed by us moving to the scene in Luke's with the large “parents and kids gang”. And we debate about a certain website complaining about Luke not liking that he had to have a large group of parents with kids was in fact discrimination. Followed by laughing about Jess being disgusted that a mother who was allowing her child to feed of screen. We move to the main plot of the episode. Lorelai at an auction and its consequences. We start with Michel being wonderfully mean to guests at the Independence inn and Emily invites Lorelai and Michel as well to an auction. . We after swing the scene of Rory and Lorelai debating pizza move to a serious debate: whether garlic is a extra toping, Simon reveals that the pizzeria he worked a short stint at it was a extra topping, Abby is offended. We move to our one shot guest star Dwight, talking about his actor, and we wonder if given the quirkiness of his character he may have become a recurring character given different circumstances. Back to the auction we both enjoy Michel’ further meanness, and then ask whether Emily's nickname of of the Cobra fits the description given to her for the nickname or if instead “the python would work. We move to the main actual conflict of the depside Lorelai dating a man from her mother’s orbit she met at the auction.. The man named, Paton who is played by noted actor John Hamm. Lorelai and his character seem to hit it off and Lorelai not getting his number has to with Rory’s help ask Emily to get his number which leads to humerus scene. Abby leads us to a segway speaking about the problems of flavorless pork as Richard alludes to. We then move to the Dwight plot; taking car of his African Violets and have a segway talking about their water upkeep in real life. We both agree that we’d happily go to a Bowie concert if it was on the table as well. After the bad date with Peyton as told by Lorelai, Simon goes off topic to explain the economist David Ricardo and his use of wine into illustrate his theories. We debate Richard and Emily’s reaction to Lorelai indicating she will not go on more dates with Peyton and if Peyton possible desire to go on one more date is actually to do the opposite of what Lorelai here is doing, that being to honor his mom. We move back to Dwight subplot the fact he apparently stole his ex wife's board games and Simon's diatribe that all the board games are bad with Abby revealing she has a horrible lack of knowledge of board games of the 1990s, while and Abby implying ones a nerd for liking Carcassonne. And then the need for Rory to call Dean, and Dean likely being bared from coming by Taylor, and how Rory needs Jess to bail her out. We end with Lorelai apologizing to Emily and agreeing the Lorelai couldn’t say no to Bowie.

   Riki Linholm and Hair Dye

   We start after revealing we keep having to redo these recordings and talking about Loony Toons. Simon then asserts Todd Lowe sings London Calling in a pretty good impersonation of Joe Strummer, and then we both digress about the revelations that Kirk was apparently in a band and ask what instrument did he play. Simon then goes on a extended explanation on who was Lawrence Welk. We then talk how in this episode Rory effectively doesn’t have a story and that the main story is in fact Lane’s wanting to rebel against her mom. Then we move to Lorelai’s storyline which introduces the character of Debbie Fischer who wants her to present at a business class with Luke. We then speculate at all the colleges that Lane’s mother got applications from. We follow this with a talk about Seven Day Adventist Colleges in the United States. (Also no there is not a Mennonite or Amish School in Nicaragua. We go back to the theory of Lane’s Dad being a 7DA night shift doctor. We wish that the scene of Lorelai talking to Luke in baby talk could have been shot instead of just mentioned. We transition to the main story. Lane wanting to dye her hair and Rory freaking out about meeting Shane at the Beauty Store. We wonder why Luke has Bongo Drums. We both talk how neither of us have bleached our hair so don’t know what pain Lane may be in from bleaching her hair and then running around town in deep pain. We talk about how Rory looks like she doesn’t want to be with Dean anymore when Lane is talking about him and comparing him to Dave. Abby speculates that Jess and Shane possibly dating almost 3 months or maybe even longer that its weird he both doesn’t know her last name and likely never met her parents. Then Simon goes on a extended bit about actress and minor quest star Riki Lindholm and talks about how she would later return as a different character, her many roles are also discussed. Simon then suggests her character may be the daughter of Debby Fincher. .We also talk about the students at the class for business that Lorelai and Luke were suppose to speak at asking about Lorelai’s pregnancy and how this draws the ire of parents of the kids later. With both of us agreeing that Lorelai handled the scene very well, and we agree the parents blew it completely out of proportion. We transition to Lane forcing Rory to get her black hair dye to cover-up for dying her hair purple and Rory completely losing it at Shane for admittedly not being that great of a shop clerk but also to act arrogant over Shane’s apparent low intellectual tendencies. We also enjoy that Lorelai intentionally trolls Debbie Fincher. We end with Abby getting Rick Moranis with Fred Armenson confused.
