  1. Experienced players should know enough not to show up uninvited to a D&D game. It may screw up whatever the Dungeon Master has planned. It's easier to accommodate newbies like the ladies. The guys also take their gaming too seriously (esp. Sheldon, hence Wil's more emphatic no).
  2. Because you need some cannon fodder to eliminate in the earlier rounds. It's part of the formula for reality competitions.
  3. Shows like this generally try to plan things out so that they can go big on finale night by doing their compromising on song choices earlier, so this shouldn't be an issue anyway.
  4. Sheldon would just say that it was because it wasn't being run by somebody as smart as him.
  5. Yes, the Doctor doesn't know she regenerated, so it'd be a surprise. She was last seen leaving to explore, increasing the chances of meeting up again, since, with few exceptions, the Doctor doesn't revisit places often.
  6. I'm not sure that's entirely true. When they decided to have a second wedding for their friends and family to attend, Penny said something like "who knew my second wedding would be to you?". Leonard is her insurance policy. As long as there's hope she can dump him for somebody "better", she doesn't want a kid with him to interfere with that. She might ultimately get stuck as the "hot blonde who settled for the nerd", but it's not what she wants.
  7. Yes, she was a clone. And yes on family, with Jenny kind of a rebellious teenage daughter. I think the writers did their best to give them a real relationship within the limits of a single episode. The ending looked suspiciously like they were hoping for a spinoff, but it also left plenty of room for the two to reunite.
  8. Seems to me you could have that if the Doctor were to reunite with Jenny.
  9. I don't mind not seeing it. It never made sense to me that a group of wanted guys would ride around in such a recognizable vehicle.
  10. So you'll know that the car is parked at their friend's house, while they're off somewhere else in the friend's car?
  11. I was referring to Julie complaining to contestants about putting their paddles down after the round was clearly done and tallied, but before she said so. She should have been happy they were resetting for the next round promptly, as it helped make up the time spent waffling on their answers (which is nothing new).
  12. So why complain when a celeb has gotten the idea and does the right thing at the right time without being told?
  13. I presume registration is actually with their full legal name, which by convention follows that pattern, but doesn't have to. It does seem like lawyers lean towards using longer names (e.g. "F. Lee Bailey", rather than "Lee Bailey").
  14. She was also snippy about contestants putting down their answers before she told them to. I think she had a sense of power slipping away, and needed to feel like she was in control.
  15. If you buy a different car from them instead, would it be a new loan, or just change what's being used as collateral for the existing loan, avoiding the hassle? That would be an incentive to stay with them.
  16. You don't have to, as long as you're consistent. Forms that want your full legal name are a different matter, and you're not always given much space to write it.
  17. It's a fourth-floor apartment in an old building. Those can get pretty hot.
  18. In this case I think it's more a matter of air circulation for cooling. Wyatt just came down from Nebraska so he wouldn't be accustomed to the warmer California climate.
  19. Is that the one where he plays pool overnight and leaves the following evening? Earlier speculation was that he was a guest at somebody else's house (which would still make him rude for ignoring the others in the next room while he practiced his trick shots).
  20. Maybe Lolo is just feeling the strain of trying to stick to a special diet while she's trapped in a house with people snacking on real food at all hours.
  21. With enough creativity in symbolizing what happened and the right locations, physical museums could probably work. Ripley's has over 100 "odditoriums" spread across 11 countries.
  22. I'm tall, so I have a similar problem, but even if you know exactly which model and option package you need, it's a used car, so each Is an individual. There's an ad (not sure for which company) where a wife takes over a car search from her husband and quickly announces success, at $2K below market price. My immediate reaction is "so what's wrong with it?".
