Rep Power: 23 | I heard the one about the superman in the Seinfeld episodes a while back. Now, everytime I watch it, I catch myself looking for it. I scared the crap out of my boyfriend the other night when I started screaming, "There it is. I found it." But, I have noticed that sometimes it is not actually superman in the episode but a reference to him. |

Screw up...Shot! 1. a big brown bear 2. a couple of ducks 3. three thick thumbs 4. four furry felines 5. five fickle females 6. six Scillian Sailors sailing the seven seas 7. seven simple Simons sitting on a stump 8. eight egotistical egotists echoing egotistical inequities. 9. nine nebulous nuns, nibbeling nibbeling gnats, nuts, & nicotine buts. 10 I slit a sheet, a sheet I slit, upon a slitted sheet I sit. |
