A potentially silly idea for a game... - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

highloon · 01-06-2003, 02:00 AM

Does anybody here want to try and play a game based on Coach? The way it works is that one of us posts a word and then someone tries to place that word in a line from a Coach episode. The only rule is that whoever chooses the word has to have an episode in mind where that word was used. The responses don't have to be verbatim, just as long as the word is there.

For example, the word is "dog"
The quote is: He's not a dumb dog, he's just insecure.

Now it's your turn. The word is "stain"

I hope somebody will find this fun, otherwise I'll feel silly!

Janice · 01-06-2003, 03:17 AM

Now let's see if I can get this right without making a fool of myself. I have to use the word stain in a sentence from a Coach episode?
I'm not good at remembering dialog, but Luther did stain the carpet in Christine's apartment, as well as almost burning the place down, among other things.
Did I play correctly? Please don't hesitate correct me.

Next clue: Hat

highloon · 01-08-2003, 12:06 AM

I knew I could count on you, Janice. You're very close. For "stain", you might've said something like, "Does grape juice stain?" Again, you don't have to know the line verbatim, but try and use the word in a line from the show.

As for "hat", Howard comes to mind: "I'm thinking of getting the matching hat." This is referring to the scene where Howard asks the gang's opinion of his unsightly golfing pants.

Also, remember Drewer's Coffee and how Hayden reacts to all the attention Daniel and Christine are getting? "If that's how you feel, next time we go to bed together, I'll wear a top hat!"

The new word is "dumb"

Janice · 01-10-2003, 01:23 AM

For dumb,
Christine's co-worker, the sportscaster, said to her, "Hayden's the dumbest coach in football."
Close enough?
Christine then proceeds to spill the beans about Bo Whitley (I think) being recruited to Minnesota State.

The new word is "diabetic".

highloon · 01-10-2003, 07:43 PM

Yes, indeed, that is close enough, Janice. Way to go. Diabetic, huh? I don't know...

As a reminder, I have not seen any episodes prior to when Stuart and Kelly get married, and after the Eagles win the Pioneer Bowl in San Antonio. If "diabetic" falls into either of those categories, I'm dead in the water. If it doesn't, then I think I'm stumped. I'm not too proud to admit that I need your help with this one. Perhaps a hint of some sort?

You got it. "Christmas of the Van Damned".
Not sure how this episode falls in the cycle as the show's jumped around so much chronologically.

highloon · 01-11-2003, 02:22 AM

Okay Janice, I think it's coming to me. This episode was accidentally erased from my collection years ago, but it does fall into the space of time that I was an avid watcher. If memory serves, at the Christmas party, Luther is so taken with the cake being served(or is it pie?) that he pretty much forces a nearby relative to try it. The relative reacts strongly and says, "I'm diabetic." and begins to pass out or something.

Assuming I made it through that one, the new word is "dead."

Is this even remotely entertaining? I'm enjoying it, but I just thought I'd ask.

Janice · 01-11-2003, 03:05 AM

You answered diabetic correctly.
For dead, I'll say that when Hayden left Kelly's wedding to hide in the lookout tower...Luther goes to talk to him but tosses the rope ladder off the tower. He was frantic and saying, "We're going to die Hayden. We're dead."
I honestly don't know if he said dead or not, but I can sure picture him saying it, lol.
If that works, the next word is "sweater".

speedbump · 01-11-2003, 06:05 AM

I've wanted to jump into this a few times, but I couldn't think of the episodes where I heard the word. This one though is a cinch.
Howard tells Shirley, "It will go great with the sweater I'm already wearing" or something close to that when she becomes his secretary. Then on Hayden's advice, Howard fires Shirley and she later rams into Howard's car. It's great!! Fun game, hopefully I can get into it a little more.

The new word is "sunshine."

highloon · 01-11-2003, 11:48 PM

Glad to have you along for this, Speedbump. I believe in the pilot episode, Luther says, "They bring him to Miami, he sees all that clean air and sunshine, they fix him up with a girl in a bikini, and pow! He's as good as signed. What do we do? We bring him out to the tundra and take him icefishing with a girl in a parka!"

Assuming there are no "boos" from the gallery, the new word is "burger"

Just a reminder, always use a word that you know for sure has been used in an episode.

Big Coach Fan · 01-13-2003, 01:44 AM

Wasn't Luther's parrot named sunshine as well?

As for burger... I'm going to say that it would have to be where Hayden is talking to Christine about selling Luther his truck. Hayden speaks of "mens town" where you could eat steaks every night and Luther chimes in that when you were young boy it was a burger..

If that one fits I'll say.... "loon"

highloon · 01-14-2003, 01:07 AM

Way to go, Big Coach Fan. I think you once said that Men's Town was one of your faves, didn't you? Maybe I'm off, but in any event, great choice for "burger." I was curious if anyone would choose Alamo Burger from the Pioneer Bowl ep, but what the heck? Men's Town is great!

Regarding "loon", I can't resist this one. Obviously, "highloon" comes to mind, but so does Hayden's great bit with Christine's dysfunctional friend Barbara, "You say you're sure of yourself? You are a loon! You write a column called 'Independent Woman?' You are a basketcase woman!"

Unfortunately, I have not seen any eps previous to Kelly and Stuart getting married, so I never saw any eps that mention Luther's bird's name. It's Sunshine, huh? That's cute.

Anyway, that's why I've requested that we stick to eps starting from season two and ending at the Pioneer Bowl. That's the pocket of eps that I've seen.

Having said all of that, the new word is, "joke"

Big Coach Fan · 01-14-2003, 06:33 AM

Right on about Christine's chain smoking friend Barbara! I had her in mind although I was referring to the episode where Hayden has his nervous twitch and Christine recommends seeing a "witch doctor" to Hayden. Christine says, "well Barbara goes" and Hayden replies, "Barbara is a loon, anyone married five times is a looooon!" (Or something to that effect)

Actually my favorite episode is probably that one.. snowblower & motorcycle...cracks me up!

And now.. joke.. may be where Kelly complains to Coach that the guys in Daubers house sat down to dinner and asked to pass the mashed potatos and as a "joke" Fred passed Stuart! Hayden laughs and says, "Well you said it was a joke."

How about this.. I might get you on this one.. the new word is

"barnacles"

highloon · 01-14-2003, 10:57 PM

Big Coach Fan, I must admit that firstly, I've never seen the ep with Hayden's nervous twitch. Secondly, I don't recall an ep with the word "barnacles" in it. Would it be okay to ask for a hint? As a reminder, does it fall into that pocket of eps that I mentioned in my earlier post? Is it after Kelly and Stuart's marriage and before the Pioneer Bowl? If so, then I am once again stumped. Anybody else know this one?

Janice · 01-15-2003, 01:24 AM

I'm stumped!
