Agreed...most skyscrapers look like....skyscrapers!

I love it when GOB goes "save the lectures for your son, if he can remember them"

Hi I’m new and I think I noticed a little "visual" joke that’s hard to get. In the first scene, before Buster explains that he’s referring to "it as our nausea", the narrator says :



Narrator: Buster’s girlfriend Lucille Austero, suffers from chronic vertigo, which she has been trying to fight without the use of medication.




You can see Lucille 2 stumbling and keeling over in her hallway ... which is decorated in a "boat cabin" style.



So it seems like she’s being thrown around in a storm at sea : vertigo = balance disorder + nausea.



The scene even ends with Lucille 2 steadying herself by grabbing a boat wheel hung on the wall. :D



Did anybody else notice that ?

I thought Buster said "[spoiler]shitting[/spoiler] around" too, though my friend has added he might also be saying "[spoiler]screwing[/spoiler] around." Either way, I agree with you that that’s just Buster’s way. "Like anyone would want to ’R’ her." :lol:




i actually think he means "eff-ing" around, but uses the wrong letter because he’s buster.

#94 Bear wrote on May 31, 2007:

Yep that’s pretty much what I thought too : "I am not eff-ing around" as pronounced by Buster.

#95 Ripe for Parody wrote on June 01, 2007:

I thought he meant "ess-ing" as "screwing" because Buster doesn’t curse much. Remember how he laughed when the site foreman told him to take his head out of his "bottom"? :lol:



It just makes sense that he would think "screwing" was an obscenity.

#96 Bear wrote on June 07, 2007:

Yep you may as well be right. Buster is easily shocked by swearing :



Georges Sr : You were just a turd.

Buster : Prison has destroyed the way you talk. If that’s what it takes to impress these guys around here, then they are not your friends.
