I think they are just part of his stuck in the 80s kids clothes probably how he dresses as a kid or his mommy dressed him Grin I thought they were jumpers but no the are just those neck thingys Confused

mrsjay · 02/01/2013 16:52

dressed*

The ballpit one is scientifically annoying...the idea of anyone trying to model graphene with balls is a bit weird....or for that matter building the silicon analogue of DNA physically rather than in silico I saw recently - I mean, surely they've got molecular modelling software? Confused But, all worth it for the 'bazinga' and mommy's ID lines of course.

mrsjay · 02/01/2013 17:03

I think it was more to do with sheldons fixation and trying to work it out, I
have no idea what else you said grimma Grin

was funny though

MrsReiver · 02/01/2013 17:06

Beyond the Sling isn't it Jojo? (I'm ignoring the faeces thing you big meanie) Have you read it? I've been wondering whether or not to get it.

Jojobells1986 · 02/01/2013 17:32

I'm planning on ordering it, just haven't got round to it yet! I think I read somewhere that she had her toddler in a highchair watching at the homebirth of her second. Interesting idea but there's no way that'll be happening at our homebirth #2 in June! Apart from that, I think she's someone I'd get on very well with so I'm intrigued to read her book! Will start a book-reviewing thread about it if I ever get round to reading it! Smile

I think Stuart is adorable - Stuart & Penny forever!!

Badvoc · 02/01/2013 18:38

Not keen on Barry kripke though...
The episode when he was complaining about siris voice recognition software was hilarious! :)

Lovecat · 02/01/2013 18:43

Oh, I love Kripke - I'm gonna call you Woxanne! :o

And Raj saying 'so what part of America is that accent from?'

We had a physics teacher called Mr Roberts who had the same speech impediment. I blush to recall it now but on our first day in his class a boy in all innocence said 'Yes Mr Woberts' to him - he was furious and shouted at him

"My name is not Mr Woberts! It's Mr Woberts!"

Evil little sods that we were, we all fell about...Blush

Badvoc · 02/01/2013 18:46

You have to winder why some people, go into teaching don't you lovecat?
In the 1989s we had a PE teacher called - I kid you not - mr gaylord.
Oh, how we laughed....

MrsReiver · 02/01/2013 19:41

Oh poor Mr Roberts, although I think you've got to have a sense of humour about these things sometimes. I had a boss with the same speech impediment and on a night out once he asked me to go to the bar for him, I asked why and he replied, laughing "I want a Rolling Rock, but I'm not going to order that for myself am I?"

louisianablue2000 · 02/01/2013 20:59

Agree about the physics in the ballpit, shame because generally the science is really good in TBBT, DH (PhD in astrophysics) is always laughing at stuff I don't get (although I understand what Bernadette does).

edam · 02/01/2013 22:23

Sheldon was in the middle of a breakdown, that's kind of the point of the ball pit episode. I think you have to let them off, Sheldon was clearly very confused and overwrought!

mrsjay · 02/01/2013 22:41

I kid you not - mr gaylord.
Oh, how we laughed....

no way Shock

Badvoc · 03/01/2013 08:57

Yep.
He was gorgeous, young PE teacher. But the lads made his life hell.
The girls just sat and drooled over him.

Binfullofgibletsonthe26th · 03/01/2013 10:38

My husband is a geek who can't say his r'ss either, I love it. And my name begins with R!!

Watching Life of Brian is always a giggle!

ShamyFarrahCooper · 03/01/2013 11:44

slightly in love with Amy & Sheldon

Can't decide on Leonard & Penny. I think she does love him more, she just doesn't want to admit it yet

MardyArsedMidlander · 03/01/2013 12:08

'Does anyone know why Howard always wears those hideous turtlenecks? Does he have some kind of RL scar on his neck or is it just part of his character that we'll just have to wonder about? '

Doesn't one of the characters point out it's unresolved trauma over his circumcision? Grin

Lovecat · 03/01/2013 13:38

Ooh, I must have missed that one, MardyArsed! :o

DH is getting the box set for his birthday at the weekend. I have no idea if he actually wants the box set or not but that's what he's getting and I'm watching :)

TartyMcTart · 03/01/2013 13:52

Who are these people and what it BBT??? Confused

Catchingmockingbirds · 03/01/2013 13:58

I hope you're going to follow that post with a 'Bazinga!' tarty.

:o

TartyMcTart · 03/01/2013 17:11

Confused I honestly have no idea what you're talking about and now I'm intrigued!!!

Sparklingbrook · 03/01/2013 17:13

Hi Tarty. It's the popular C4/E4 sitcom The Big Bang Theory. Grin
