SYNTHIA: "Electric Twister Acid Test." What WERE they thinking?

SLIDERULES: Well, obviously of a play on "Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test," Tom Wolfe's account of the 1960s psychedelic movement. An acid test is a "decisive or critical test, as of worth or quality," hence, the title refers to the catastrophic unleashing of the electromagnetic tornadoes.

SYNTHIA: Well yes, but... right.

BLINKER: As long as we're riffing on controversial texts of the late sixties, I'm going with "The Naked Twister."

SYNTHIA [barely suppressing urge to snicker]: Uh... and I'll say "Eye of the Desert Storm."

Chubby BT needs to lose a few characters.

Clearly we need to signify this show has moved into "homage" land. So how about "Twister Act"? "Slid With the Wind"? Or a reference to the change in radius in "Double Cross", "We're Not in San Francisco Anymore"?

ThomasMalthus

Chubby Checkers should have appeared

He could have worn Remmy's shirt from Slither.

The title should have been "Let's Twister Again (Like We Did Last Year)". It works on so many levels.

Had this ep appeared in this decade, we could have called it "Law & Order" cause you won't believe the twist---er!

How about Ray Bradbury:

I Sing the Tornado Electric
Something Twister This Way Comes

Or Phillip K. Dick

Do Electric Tornadoes Still Stuck Hot Air?
We Can Build Twisters For You Wholesale

Or Maybe Tom Clancy

Electric Storm Rising
The Sum of All Electric Twisters


Finally: this since is the first episode where S3's new direction becomes apparent

A New Twist

PhantomDennis writing as JulianSimon

I had an inspiration Gap, before.

One of my P. K. Dick entries should be:

Do Electric Twisters Swallow Android Cows?

Maggie VO: Tongue Twister... mmmm

BT's on a Witch Hunt instead of a Toupee or Tribble Hunt.

A Dunking We Will Go

Dude, Where's Corey Haim?
Requiem for Wade: The Prelude
Sliding Twisting Electrifying Slide
