Did anybody else see a parody of NOS in this episode?

I think I saw House chugging a bottle of ONS.

"Chase, having realized that everyone would be chasing ghosts, he confronts House and claims that House canceled the interview. House confirms this, however he refuses to admit that he did Foreman wrong, describing the hospital he was going to be interviewed at as "a place where you treat boils and stomach ulcers."

It was there. Included was House saying "Sometimes, I forget why I hired you" to Chase. --Forgottenlord 20:20, 17 May 2007 (UTC)

There was some genius wordplay in this episode. Specifically, there were at least two blatent references to the forbidden C-word:

House to Cuddy: "You are one evil, cunning woman. It's a massive turn on." (House's inflection makes it sound at first as if he's going to say "you are one evil c----")

Cameron to Chase: "See you next Tuesday."

I found nothing else on the web about this, so I'm wondering if anyone else caught this, and is this type of wordplay a normal practice on that show?

I have a suspicion that it is little more than how you live your life and how your interact with your friends influencing your perception than anything intentional in the episode. I've never noticed this sort of thing nor do I really see it in the second example. --Forgottenlord 20:20, 17 May 2007 (UTC)

EDIT: You might want to find some Forums dedicated to House and see if there are people who have noticed such a thing. The people that read discussion pages on Wikipedia are generally those looking to discuss something related to content or organization of the related page. --Forgottenlord 20:21, 17 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Quotes?

Maybe a few too many. Padness 07:51, 18 May 2007 (UTC)

Actually, Quotes really should be going on the WikiQuote page and a link left on this page. I agree that having a quotes section as long as the actual synopsis in terms of verticle length is problematic --Forgottenlord 04:06, 22 May 2007 (UTC)


[edit] Diseases

Does anybody remember all the things the kid didn't have? For instance, what was that disease that made you self-mutilate?

[edit] Piped link?

The piped link for fellow teen goes to the Ben Bledsoe article

According to the Ben Bledsoe article, he was the guy who acted as the teen. I'm too lazy to go look for a good reference so this is a shout out to anyone who feels like finding one. Padness 08:05, 31 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Quote

Nathan: "Hey, hey, hey! You can't get me stoned then not seal the deal." Watching it at the moment, he says like finish the deal not seal. I can't remember what he says but im 100% it aint seal. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Andrewrox424 (talk • contribs) 10:50, August 22, 2007 (UTC).

In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

[edit] Trivia

When House claim that "Bird's opening is too passive" I heard it as a provocation. But when Nathan call Sicilian Defense what is not, it was clear that chess errors was not volunteer.
