- Normally I'd send this to the person who keeps the catchphrase
- list. Unfortunately, I don't know who that is. (I also would like to
- check the list just in case this is on it already, but there's just no way...)
-
- Anyway, I noticed a catchphrase crop up on two recent episodes.
- In "Fire Maidens of Outer Space", when a secretary takes a note, and in
- "The Rebel Set" when Tucker reads the suicide note, they say "Pound pastrami,
- can kraut, six bagels, bring home for Emma". This is from the classic
- SF book _A Canticle for Leibowitz_; it is a memo that Leibowitz wrote to
- himself, preserved by monks who have no idea what it means.
