Evan Drake is in Europe and has hired Norm to paint his house, Norm tells Rebecca that she can come over and look around the bedroom, which is what he is up to. While Rebecca is up there Mr. Drake comes home early and so Rebecca has to hide. Mr Drake, a very light sleeper is tired as hell and just wants to sleep. Norm can't think of anything and so has to leave her there, after telling the gang at the bar he is sent back there to bail her out. After many failed attempts Norm finally succeeds in two things one getting Rebecca out, and two convincing Mr. Drake that he(Norm) is crazy. Fraiser tells the gang about a patient he saw that morning who is REALLY hot for dancers or anything having to do with dancing, after Fraiser leaves a beautiful girl comes to the bar looking for Fraiser because she had a session with him that morning and left a package in his office Sam likes her and decides to dance his way into her pants. Sam is dancing his brains out and nothing so he asks Fraiser about the beautiful girl he counseled in the morning, Frasier tells him he saw two beautiful girls in the morning one dance-loving and the other fire-loving(pyromaniac), Sam is trying to figure out pyromania when he hears sirens and runs out of the bar.

weird food take:
I rip off the pizza crust and lay it down the middle of the life and eat it like a hot dog. because I prefer the ratio of crust to toppings and I'm not left with just a plain crust.

when non-English speaking countries talk about Ai do they adapt the initialism to their phonemes or adopt what we have going on here
do Germans talk about 'ayy-eye' or 'ahh-eee'

when Tom Selleck put on his chainmail scuba suit to deal with a homicidal robot in Michael Crichton's Runaway (1984), I really expected more than a roomba with a revolver strapped to it

they don't make Tom Sellecks like hey used to

stumbled on Megazone 23 on Prime and when the screen was just a bunch of vibrating dials and meters on a motorcycle, my reaction was a dumb "I LOVE technology!!"
