But It Was Tiger Who Toppled The House of Cards

I came in on Thursday to a desperate email message from my friend The Moss:

Quick:
Brady Bunch house of cards episode -- who wore the bracelet -- Jan or
Marcia?

To which I responded:
Oh, season 1, "54-40 and Fight." Marcia's bracelet.

It turns out, The Moss, as she is so nicknamed because she is covered in moss, was writing a story about building a house of cards and wanted to slip in a Brady Bunch reference. And I once again felt that I had been put on this planet for a reason.

You can actually see a clip of the episode here.

Rather than see a clip of the Brady Bunch, I would rather see a picture of The Moss.

Perhaps your true calling is to serve as some sort of pop culture EMT. Straining your brain to remember the name of the actress/robotron from Small Wonder? Call Carli. You could start a business. (Read the No. 1 Ladies Detective Agency for inspiration on hang-out-your-shingle-type entrepreneurial pursuits.)

All right, I just realized that maybe your business would suffer from competition with a little thing called the Internet. But maybe you could offer the personal touch.

I especially liked the part in the theme song when they said, "She's fantastic-made of plastic. . . microchips here and there."
