The problem with the guys is that when it comes to payback, they don’t have an inner Kripke-Nowitzki beast to channel. They can't go deep or devious enough to really ring-his-bell. They are too nice.

YES!!!!

That's it!

Outsource the revenge to Missy and Kripke! Maybe even Mary Cooper. ( "A little come-uppance might be just what he needs")

The guys should tie Sheldon to a chair and make him watch them sit in his spot over and over while whistling and eating Chinese on pizza night and taking all of Sheldon's mint condition action figures out of their blister packs and posing them in various sex positions and making obscene pornos with the dolls and posting the vids to his Fun with Flags channel.

That's too good for him. There needs to be at least an itchy sweater, somewhere along the time.

They should also be watching Babylon 5. But that still is too good for him.

After growing up with someone like Beverly, Sheldon probably doesn't seem any worse to Leonard. Maybe a little bit better. Leonard was already conditioned to take the kind of crap that Sheldon dishes out before they even met.

So I don't think he's gonna snap. Besides, he's the show's proverbial "good guy". And putting up with Sheldon fits that mold.

Welcome back Lemons. Your diagnosis is spot on. That works for Lenny but what excuses do the rest have ? I think I will bitcoin a new phrase "lost the bitcoin" to describe a show that has used an annoying character trait once too often. As in This show has officially "Lost the Bitcoin!" What do you think. Better than saying JTS again and again.

I would say that phrase is as pleasing to the ear as any, and may I please ask from whenceforth "jumping the shark" originates anyway? Is that from the ancient English poem, "Jack be Nimble, Jack be quick, Jack jump over the shark-face stick?"

As for Howard and Raj I think there are two reasons they haven't done more to annihilate Sheldon:
1.They're not around him as much as Leonard.
2.They're lazy.

Noooo!!! Don't ask where JTS came from. If you do then someone will invariably talk about it. It is almost worse that saying JTS. As if everyone should know about that stupid HD show. And that F character. See I won't even use the full words to try and prevent discussion of them.

Lemons be nimble. Lemons be quick. Lemons jump over Watson and Crick.

What's with all this HD and F code talk? OK, see if you can decipher my response by first letters only. I R J A S T R A E. Get it right and Vanna White will give you a living room suit. And sorry for asking for the JTS history lesson. I rescind my query.

Znex be nimble, Znex be quick, may all of your frying pans be non-stick.

Can I buy a consonant. No wait a constellation. The big curry pot. Is it "I'd Rather Jump A Stick Than Ride An Elephant" ? Or is it the other way around ?

Znex you are so frickin' close to the right answer, if it were an elephant it would have reached out and bit you. Of course, it would have probably knocked you over with its trunk first. You may either try again, or choose what's behind door number 3.

And sorry I said frickin'. I'm currently typing with soap in my mouth.

What if I changed stick to sheep. Is that it ? Jump a Sheep ?

The correct answer was: "I'd rather jump a shark than ride an escalator!" I'd say you were close enough to at least win a Happy Days DVD set, with Fonz on the cover.

Oops. I said an F-word again.

Living room suit ? Do you mean a suit to wear in a living room or a suit with pictures of sofas, chairs, coffee tables, and fireplaces on it ?
