Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe Thanksgiving Day football game Mike and Sheldon discuss (where Mike wanted to shoot his TV and Sheldon's dad did) was the 1993 game between the Dallas Cowboys and the Miami Dolphins. In that game, which was played in a rare snowstorm in Dallas, the Dolphins squibbed their attempt at a game-winning field goal, leaving the ball spinning on the ground with members of the Cowboys surrounding it waiting for it to stop in order to declare it dead. However, Leon Lett ran up to try to grab it, but slipped and inadvertently batted the ball away, which made it a live ball again. The Dolphins recovered, tried the field goal again, and were successful, winning the game.
- GoofsThe titular storyline plot starts with Penny being unaware that Las Vegas weddings count as actual marriages. Yet in The Countdown Reflection (2012) when Howard and Bernadette were trying to get married before he went to space, Penny herself suggested getting married in Vegas, including saying she knows several people who got married there.

I'm concerned that the infrared beam which triggers public toilets to flush might cause cancer.
I'm considering getting a Twitter account so I can have a way to express my innermost thoughts to strangers.
I'm confused as to why a poorly designed web site means affordable health care is a bad idea.
I'm thinking of writing a children's story about a leaf on a tree who arrogantly insists he's a self-made, independent leaf. Then one day a fierce wind blows him off his branch and to the ground below. As his life slowly ebbs away, he looks up at the magnificent old tree that had been his home and realizes that he had never been on his own. His entire life he had been part of something bigger and more beautiful than anything he could have imagined. In a blinding flash, he awakens from the delusion of self. Then an arrogant, self-centered kid rakes him up and bags him.
I'm wondering if maybe I should stop writing these freakin' vanity cards.
