- Quotes
Sheldon Cooper: [Sheldon is trying to teach Penny about physics, but she's having a rough go of it] Why are you crying?
Penny: Because I'm stupid!
Sheldon Cooper: That's no reason to cry. One cries because one is sad. For example, I cry because others are stupid, and it makes me sad.
- Crazy creditsCHUCK LORRE PRODUCTIONS, #270 Jillian had a urinary tract infection... again. That sentence appeared in my head a few days ago, just as you see it above. I have no idea what it means, other than the obvious, and I don't know anyone named Jillian. Regardless, I thought it'd be interesting to begin a vanity card with it and just see where it goes. Jillian had a urinary tract infection... again. Her doctor liked to abbreviate the condition to UTI. She liked to abbreviate it to TMH - Too Much Humping. Regardless, the road back to vaginal happiness was always the same: cranberry juice and abstinence. Thankfully, her boyfriend, Dudley, was always very understanding. He'd just smile, hold her in his arms and say, "Well, babe, when one door closes, another one opens up." She'd always giggle and blush when he'd say that, but deep down she wished she had the courage to cover his mouth and nose with a chloroform-soaked rag, and then, while he was unconscious, snip off his testicles with the little scissors she uses to groom her schnauzer. All of which explains why the next sentence popped into my head recently. Nobody sang Bee Gees songs on karaoke night like Dudley.

Featured review
"The Gorilla Experiment" was another wall-to-wall funny episode of "The Big Bang Theory"
In this episode of last season's "The Big Bang Theory": Howard introduces Bernadette to the rest of the gang as they are having their usual Chinese takeout dinner. Bernadette is sociable enough to talk shoes with Penny ("Mom was right. There is a Hell", says Sheldon), and be interested in Leonard's experiments to Howard's consternation since he wants her all to himself. Penny, hearing how interested Bernadette gets when Leonard talks about his latest assignment, gets jealous herself and, in a plot straight from "Pygmalion", asks Sheldon to teach her physics. After initially rejecting, Sheldon obliges and goes overboard enough that even Henry Higgins would surely object...This was another hilarious episode of "The Big Bang Theory" and the addition of Melissa Rauch as Bernadette adds immensely to the cast chemistry here. And her sweetness seems the perfect match to Howard's occasional arrogance concerning the way he describes their relationship. Especially loved the way he tries to intimidate Leonard here. And how perfect was it to see Penny and Sheldon lock horns again? So on that note, "The Gorilla Experiment" was another excellent ep of "The Big Bang Theory".
