Have you not been paying attention to the books, Websites, and entertainment-related tabloid shows that have tried for the last decade to shove every detail of the show down America's collective throat? Can a nation have a collective throat? Email me on this one.

"If you ever need a prescription, no questions asked. "

Lenny

"So then I said to the cop, "No, you're driving under the influence ... of being a jerk."

Eddie

"We need pretzels. Repeat, pretzels."

George Bush

"I'll ruin you like a Japanese banquet!"

Herman

"My arm? Well let me put it this way: next time your teacher tells you to keep your arm inside the bus window, you do it!"

Kent Brockman
