^That's what Watson and I were saying to each other - "Tornado...in February???" :-k

But I really enjoyed this episode - it was so hilarious! :hilarious: I think I liked all of Bernard's animal noises the best! \:D/

4/5

Well, considering that Odyssey doesn't follow Earth time...;) :lol:

Te end's kind of sad, because while Bart and Bernard can call and talk to their wives, Whit can't do that anymore. Not until he gets to heaven, anyway.

It didn't hit me when I heard it, but yeah,it is sad.

Love this review, with all the smileys!

It was an interesting episode I was very happy though that they used the same younger Whit and Jack as in Tangled Web and that was a funny episode Bart was himself and Bernard was well interesting so yeah and I thought that was funny how Whit was cimbing up a cliff in a hurricane or whatever it was and he's just trying to purpose haha that would suck but it was funny.

I liked it. It was nice and appropriate for the holiday (I listened to it today randomly because I haven't been uptodate with AIO episodes, nice.) ... I give it 4.7 out of 5. Best lines:
Whit: Where's the basement?
Bart: Upstairs!
Bart: .. for Calvin.
Calvin: I'm Calvin. o_O;
Bart: Ah ah yes, Calvin.
...
Doris: ... yeah, she didn't use it much-
Calvin: Casey was my father.
Bart: But I thought Casey was Calvin's Avon lady..
[while bart is calling doris]
Bart: It's me! Bart Rathbone! No, really!

This episode had me laughing all the way through, and I loved the Pork Rinds song. That just really makes me laugh...never gets old.

Five stars from me because the episode brings out the true meaning of love through expression and storytelling of first meetings. Bernard's love story was the funniest of all. Very original, and filled with humour throughout.

What does bumped mean?

Oh, and this is really weird because I just listened to this episode today, and I wanted to say that it's sad that this was Walker Edmiston's last episode. At the end there is a line where Bart says that the others should hear his engagement story some time, and that it involved an armadillo, or something like that. I wish we could have heard this scene at some point in some episode, but I guess it'll probably never happen now.

Yep. Using my signature for a shameless plug. But trust me. If I can be so arrogant, I think it'll be worth your time.

Bumping means posting in an older thread and "bumping" it to the top, which is generally discouraged, but not here in the episode reviews section! :D Plus it isn't really "bumped" because these threads are set to stay in order. ;) It's great to be able to continue to talk about great episodes, even if it is a while after their original air date. \:D/

It was an aardvark. ;)

And any scene with Bart and Doris in it is bound to be hilarious.

Bernard taking the "crazy test" was hilarious, because of his ignorance on the way he should be considering the questions, like " 'Do I ever want to hurt animals?' Yes, sometimes when they take a bath in my window-washing fluid."

Eugene-"Well, the sequence of events occured with extreme rapidity, but I shall attempt to recall them. I was powering my two-wheeler along this concrete pathway, when your personnage suddenly appeared directly in front of me blocking my course. My reflexes immediately sprang to life in an attempt to navigate an evasive manouveur around you while still maintaining course and speed, but I evidently over-compensated, and my Schwinn careened off the hardened path, taking me with it, and up-ended us both in this shrub, a Rhododendron of the heath family I believe, deducing from the leathery evergreen leaves, as distinguished from the deciduous Azalea, which as we all know is..."
Isaac-"You mean, you crashed into this bush cause I got in your way."
