Smell-o-Vision

In today' Dinette Set, ostensibly we're discussing a gift for Timmy, when really we should be discussing:
  • Whether the notion of buying cologne for an 11-year-old is part of the joke or an indication of just how divorced from reality The Dinette Set is.
  • Whether anyone considered the fact that a panel about aroma would not work in a visual medium.
  • Whether anyone considered just how gay this makes all The Dinette Set men seem.

It's an old point, but still valid. I love how the Penny's whiteboard always has a big blank spot on it right behind Burl's head. It's as if, when Penny wrote the note to herself, she knew where he'd be sitting, and wanted the guests to see that snide remark about febreeze uneclipsed.

He must never move.

Note the "Dangling Chads" t-shirt. Boy, that's topical! (And besides, it's "hanging" chads.)

Nothing in this panel makes ANY sense to me. Usually, I "get" where she wants to go, but not today. Fabreeze on the phone? The phone!?! Maybe the seat cushions or something semi-logical. Scent of a Woman on the Comedy Channel? What? Why throw in that tidbit? Windjammer? Am I missing a joke here? Uuggggggh

KNIGHT: What does it say?
MAYNARD: It reads, 'Here may be found the last words of Joseph of
Aramathea. He who is valiant and pure of spirit may find the Holy Grail
in the Castle of uuggggggh'.
ARTHUR: What?
MAYNARD: '... the Castle of uuggggggh'.
BEDEMIR: What is that?
MAYNARD: He must have died while carving it.
LAUNCELOT: Oh, come on!
MAYNARD: Well, that's what it says.
ARTHUR: Look, if he was dying, he wouldn't bother to carve 'aaggggh'.
He'd just say it!
MAYNARD: Well, that's what's carved in the rock!
GALAHAD: Perhaps he was dictating.
ARTHUR: Oh, shut up. Well, does it say anything else?
MAYNARD: No. Just, 'uuggggggh'.
