April 05, 2001 The Caffeinated Leo

Definitely one of the most entertaining episodes of recent memory. Leo learns to dance from Jessica's geek site of the day, prompting her to say "You look like you're having a seizure." Leo alleges that Patrick called him "lard of the dance." Later, Leo does a bit of product modeling, stroking and petting the parts for the Austin PC. (I could swear that I heard that hard drive purring.) As Patrick is trying to do the tease for the next segment, Leo tries to "product model" Patrick, waving his hands around him like one of caressing a prize product on The Price Is Right. As the camera fades to commercial, Patrick can be seen trying to bring Leo back to reality by beating on him with an OEM package of Windows 98. During the Bod Pod segment, Leo says "Who wants to see Patrick in a speedo?" And later, Leo completely babbles "The dot-com boom has gone bust" into something like "the dot bomb poom has gone pust." Most of this insanity was attributed to caffeinated mints, three of which Leo says he had before the show. Maybe that would be a good strategy for future TSS shows. If it looks as though the show is going to be dull, slip Leo a few mints, then sit back and watch the fun begin. If you would like to try this at home, you can buy your own caffeinated mints from Thinkgeek, which was one of Jessica's Geek Sites of the Day. You can buy other things mentioned on TSS there, such as the glare-free Eclipse monitor lamp, and those infamous rounded IDE cables.

If anyone knows what the "lumberjacks with PC parts" bit that Leo was trying to sing meant, Please let me know.
