Well, I think a regular ping pong ball has about the diameter of a continental gas tank opening, but to get it into the fuel line would be like... a stripper forcing a glow in the dark baseball bat into her....bleep. With the only exception that the...bleep can indeed widen that much if needed (as for childbirth), although it has to be painful.

Actually, I wouldn’t be a bit surprised if they deliberately used a trick that wouldn’t work. If they really described in detail a way to sabotage a car so that it would run for a while and then stall out, it would be all too easy for people to misuse that information – perhaps with tragic results. Why take that chance when there’s a handy urban legend floating around that sounds plausible enough?

On the other hand, maybe the ping pong ball trick works in older cars...

Yes, but they show in a very detailled way how to kill people... that might be deemded "imitative behavior" as well.

hey Maherjunkie,

back on page 1 of this thread you mentioned that you didn’t think Eames last line of the show fit. I re-watched the show, made some notes, and just found my notes while cleaning up for the holidays…..(according to my husband he LOL’s "Cleaning up for the holidays, you moved a couple of things… big whoopee freaking doo” screw him )

anyway…..here is my take

At the end of the episode while walking out of the interrogation room. Carver, said:
“The problem with most men, is they want what they can’t have and don’t want what they have.” (personally, I feel that is true for both male and female)

And Eames responded with “The problem with most men, is they talk too much”
I think Eames might have been implying two things

1) When men try to smooth talk and smooze women, the more they do, the less they are believed by woman, in the dating arena.

2) Keith should have kept his mouth, when his lawyer told him to, he incriminated himself.

I think Eames really detested Keith, while in the bar, she made some comment to Keith that he was suppose to be Jenny’s friend. She was completely disgusted with him there in that scene. Just as much as Goren implied that the girl was a ball buster in the bar., although I believe more to get Keith’s reaction. I think Eames saw Keith as a Wannabe Smooth Operator, using woman for his own selfish needs

I also liked ithis episode because, while interrogating Keith, Goren said “Keith, she would never have gone in their car, Only your car. She only trusted you” (not his exact words). But the way VDO’s nose wrinkled in that scene while saying that line, baby I believe he was totally immersed in the character there.

I liked this episode very much. Mainly because of Eames. Its from Season 2, and many times, people say that her character is Goren’s sidekick. She shined in this episode as a woman who understood another woman's plight. She became Jenny’s friend and did what she could for her

[maherjunkie]

Both are true, I just felt Carver's was more on the nose. At the time, Eames' felt more ball busty with no real context, but I see what you are saying.

I noticed there wasn't much comment on this episode. I love this episode, but only after a second viewing. The good cop/bad cop usage in this episode is priceless. Both D'Onofrio and Erbe really shined this episode. They played off each other brilliantly.

Also, Goren checks out Eames (not in a bad way) but to compare her to the type of woman that Keith mentions he likes at the bar. It's the first bar scene just after Keith leaves. Goren looks at the women he says looked liked a ball buster and then turns around and sees Eames walking toward him and his eyes run up and down her body. Like I said I don't think it's anything sexual just a reminder that Eames is a women.
