Well, I wouldn't consider myself a True Fan, but I did spend an interesting
summer wactching many RD episodes at a friends house. I actually got one of
my three traffic violations on my way back from that.

For those who don't know, the setting is somewhere between Star Trek and the
Odd Couple, except very British in its humour. I seem to think this
appeared on FoRK once before, but maybe that was a similar list BF (Before
Fork).

P.S. Note how JoeB's one-line description and general query gives context
and relevance to his post. Context, because smeg is linked to Red Dwarf, a
larger meme; and relevance, because he personalizes the post as a query
seeking information, rather than an abstract statement assuming interest.
