The Cliff's Notes episode

The Callers
(Who can turn the world on with their smile!?!? The callers! That's who!)

Trucker Robert ... with his usual requisite "exciting and important" football news.

Jenny in Wash... this AM... saw Jenny McNulty or something.

Steve from Washington ... ideas for Doria's dog's diarrhea ...

Robert in Staten Island... more ideas for Doria's dog. "white rice"

CR in PA... "Combo's" being fattening... after CR went to electronics school... there was a lady, she was SO fat... they made a suppository ... CLICK dial tone... Doria wondered if CR got spoiled and was allowed to actually complete the call... Frank assures her that he did not. (Actually, CR DID in fact get through a lot of his calls... much to Frank's chagrin, Frank thought CR was making sense last week!

Joe in TX... loves Austin... make sure he keeps it weird! How to get to the Alamo?!?! The hotel lady said "There is one here at the airport"... the humor was NOT lost on us... but Team Decaro took a few minutes to finally get the humor that was lost on the hotel lady.

Jarred from some where in Cali... Has had garlic ice cream

John in KS... went to Ben and Jerry's in Vermont... has had the "Good bye yellow brickle road",

Craig... no locale... so happy to be back in bed with Frank and Doria... loves the Batman movie, Frank is the only one that doesn't like it.

Andre in Long Island...Two girls one comb... isn't that a 3 way with Puff daddy...

Paul from Mass... finally calls in... Jim needs to get over his "porn shy" issues! Paul uses them for coasters! And gives us a dateline of his last gag reflex... Announces the announcement of the opening of "NotFrankDecaro.com" coming soon to a web site near you!

Brian in Toledo... back in touch to catch up with Jim... questions Fox programming decisions... keeps dropping shows faster then Frank drops trow on Xtube.com

Tom in Miami... question to Jim about "The Riches"... too bad... seems like it had promise.

Joe in TX... oh... John in TX... has Jim heard about the spin off of "The L Word"... he has... is that "yes" there will be a spin off... featuring one actress from the show...but even that actress doesn't know she has her own show.

Ray from ??? Ausling?? When is Empty Nest on DVD? ... no news yet. If there is... you'll hear it here first!

Stanton in Austin... is surprised that today's show is not one of the "Best Of" playing.

The Bots

• "So long fatso!" -- Frank should be so lucky to go home!

• "What the fuck are you doing?!?!" -- yeaop! we were wondering the same thing!

• "Once he stopped drinking he became so dull!" Bea calls it like she see's it! (RE: Dori's bilingual, mongoloid, alcoholic snob relative)

• "Twinkle toes walking" sound effect... BRILLIANT!!!!!! We LOVED that! PERFECT timing and everything!!!!

• "Record scratch" sound effect for "Song mixes" REALLY great timing!

• "That joke's so bad, TiVo would reject the repeats!" -- who could disagree? And Mario Canton DOES sound a bit like Lisa Lamponelli...
  

The Jokes

Doria DID say "Duty Free" after all... Frank couldn't help himself!

Why aren't there more "car inspection points" that have a deli and a day spa? You can get serviced while your car is serviced! This was VERY cute and clever social commentary on Frank's part!

Frank says he is upset with the light bulb left next to the microwave was upsetting him... then he realized it was him that left it there... he's upsetting himself... hmmm... when will Frank realize this is only a fraction of how Jim might feel!?!?!
