This has been a lot of fun on the Gilmore Gilrs thread, so I figured some people here might enjoy it as well.

Here's how it works: one person posts a brief blurb about an episode of VM (it could be a synopsis of the entire episode, or just one part of it) and the next person has to figure out which episode it refers to. For example:

Q. Keith and Lamb form an unlikely alliance during which Keith learns that his temporary partner never saw Spinal Tap; Mac learns more about why she's 'falaffel and Fellini' while her parents are 'nachos and NASCAR.'

A. Silence of the Lamb

You can use more than one sentence for your blurb, but try to keep it fairly short, like you would find in the TV Guide. Sound like fun?

I'll start us off with a fairly easy one.

Q. The impressive abs of a teen movie star, boxers decorated with reindeer and shady card games are the ABCs of this very special holiday episode.
