And here's "Doctor's Orders." Fans of a certain videogame series that IJD GAF and I are freaks about will enjoy this one.[/colorost_uid0]

[color=#000000ost_uid0]Usually somebody posts the answer when I encode lines like that, but it looks like that's not going to happen this time, so I'll just tell you. Switch each two consecutive letters. So that third line, "Hwzaaz?", decodes as "Whazza?"

[quoteost_uid0](Gatac)
Same here, Scooter, same here. Especially since I've never seen Ringu.[/quoteost_uid0]

Yeah, my obsession with [iost_uid0]The Ring[/iost_uid0] often leads me to make needless references to it (see "Carpenter Street"). Couldn't resist in this case because Hoshi really [iost_uid0]did[/iost_uid0] appear with a scary disfigured face, and hey, she's Asian. The dialogue references my [iost_uid0]Ring[/iost_uid0] fiver.

The overwhelming parallel this episode had for me, though -- more than [iost_uid0]Ring[/iost_uid0], certainly more than Metroid, and maybe even more than "One" -- was to Stephen King's [iost_uid0]The Shining[/iost_uid0]. That's where I'm going with "Torrance," "all work and no play," and Room 217 (which is from the book; it was 237 in the movie).

You know it. Those who didn't catch that should reread Marc's very first fiver, "One." The skipping line had me rolling at the time, and it's still my nostalgic favourite Marc line. In an episode which was practically a remake of "One," how could I not pay homage to it?[/colorost_uid0]

[color=#000000ost_uid0]Yep. I wondered before why it didn't seem to add up. Still not sure what's going on here, though:
[quoteost_uid0]Phlox: Yes, yes, I'm sorry. But you can tell the other dogs you lost that bit of your tail in a fight. Besides, why did you make a "bump" sound?
T'Pol: It's his birthday. [/quoteost_uid0][/colorost_uid0]

[color=#000000ost_uid0]Good question, and one which will have to be answered by our panel international forumgoers. The way I remember it, someone grabs your arms and legs, then violently tosses you up and down (without letting go, one hopes) once for each year. There's probably different variations.[/colorost_uid0]

[color=#000000ost_uid0]I'm familiar with birthday spankings where you are spanked for each year. Since spanking was also a familiar punishment during those formative years, I never understood why birthday spankings were desirable.

Then again, my parents/friends/etc never attempted any on me, so maybe I missed out on some special experience.

Honestly, I always envied those kids who had their parents give them money relative to their age.[/colorost_uid0]
