A la Corby, I'll have to flesh this out later.

The difference is, Corby also uses that line in real life.



NB I've never met Corby in real life, but no one else was going to make that joke and I thought it just needed making.

Not that it particularly matters, but the date in the thread title is wrong - should be the 14th (which is correct on the actual recap).
