    Shame of Thrones

    Sparks fly at a "Game of Thrones" viewing party when Sheldon tells Leonard that there will be a quarterly roommate meeting the next day. Leonard has had enough. This is just the beginning of conflict which leads to the party being divided in half. Raj is driving Howard nuts with his bragging about dating two women. Penny thinks Sheldon is being mistreated. It's quite funny.

    • Goofs
      Sheldon claims that, in Italian, the "morta" in mortadella means death. It does not. It comes from the Italian word "mortaio", which means mortar. Mortars were used to grind pork meat into the emulsion used to make mortadella.
    • Quotes

      [first lines]

      Sheldon Cooper: I have a question about Batman. Batman is a man who dresses up like a bat. Manbat is a part man part bat hybrid. Now, if Manbat dressed up as a man to fight crime, would he be Manbatman;?

      Leonard Hofstadter: No, he'd be Batmanbat.

      Raj Koothrappali: But wouldn't Manbatman just be a batman that was bitten by a radioactive man?

      Howard Wolowitz: But Batman is a man. You're talking about a man who would have the powers of a man. That's just Manman.

      Sheldon Cooper: Well, isn't Manman just Man?

      Leonard Hofstadter: Well, what if Manman dressed as a bat?

      Raj Koothrappali: Well, that's just Batman.

      Leonard Hofstadter: No, if a man dresses as a bat, that's Batman, but if Manman dresses as a bat that's Batmanman.

      Howard Wolowitz: So, does that answer your question?

      Sheldon Cooper: Oh, I haven't asked it yet.

      My World of Wonder Part one

      Sometimes I wonder why the editorial staff at Vanity Fair thinks I care about the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge.

      Sometimes I wonder why scissors only work in my right hand.

      Sometimes I wonder why Elton John thought "Saturday Night's Alright for Fighting" when he probably was gonna get his ass kicked.

      Sometimes I wonder why I'm always putting my t-shirt on backwards when there's a fifty-fifty chance I'll get it right.

      Sometimes I wonder why people vote against their self-interest.

      Sometimes I wonder why I vote against my self-interest.

      Sometimes I wonder why people who believe in an omnipotent, allknowing, eternal and infinite God of love can be angry.

      Sometimes I wonder if my dog is purposely messing with me.

      Sometimes I wonder if my mind hates me.

      Sometimes I wonder if fast-forwarding through commercials makes me a traitor to my cause.

      Sometimes I wonder who - who wrote the book of love.
