Strange coincidence or coincidentally strange?

Yesterday, Star India showed episode 9F06 ("New Kid on the Block"). The new neighbor babysits the kids and they order takeout from the "Two Guys from Kabul" restaurant. The neighbor comments that that's what they used to eat when her dad was posted at Kandahar. . .

They showed it here, too. And actually, if you listen closely, the babysitter (played by the gothically beautiful Sara Gilbert) says he was stationed in "Bandahar"

I lauged for the longest time at "The Frying Dutchman Restaurant". Is that another damned Asian joke?

Um, no. It's a play on "The Flying Dutchman," the famous legendary ship doomed to spend eternity trying to round the Cape of Good Hope because of an impious oath its captain took. . .

I believe Greg was referring to the fact that if an asian said "flying" it would come out "frying"... just to clarify...

Andy(atuc.com), doesn't think it's a ref though...

One of Captain McAllisters greatest quotes come from this ep:

Oh, and yet another Monty Python reference by the capsule author that I just found ->

-- One slice of bread with not so much fish in it later... ``The New Kid on the Block''
