Ah! But I'll be debating liberals with it. When I ask them what the hell timing has to do with it, they'll have no answer. (I hope)
(is your Dick Van Dyke tagline an actual reference? And was it the show with the walnuts?)
Yes, it's an actual reference. No, it's not from the famous "walnuts" episode. p>
Rob: Oh, I see an easy five letter word right away, F-R-E-E-P. Freep. Jerry: Freep? What's that? - The Dick Van Dyke Show Episode title: A Man's Teeth Are Not His Own Original Air date: Dec. 19, 1962 Episode number 43 (13th episode of the 2nd season)
The episode is about Rob's best friend, and next door neighbor, Jerry (and Rob's Dentist) going on vacation. While Jerry is away, Rob loses a filling, and is in complete pain. As a result, he's forced to see another dentist to fic his teeth. Jerry comes back from vacation, and Rob is due for his check-up. However, Rob feels so guilty about seeing another dentist while his friend was away that he does whatever he can to prevent Jerry from seeing his teeth. In any case, the tagline comes at the end of the episode where Jerry, Millie, Rob and Laura are playing a game of scrabble. It is in that scene that Rob says the above lines.
