Anonymous asked: So you wrote a bunch of lines similar to "If every pork chop were perfect we wouldn't have hot dogs.", do you still have any of the other ones?

Actually, I do! I went into the old notes document for the episode, which had a working title of “Mom and Dad” and found a list of potential lines at the bottom. In an alternate universe, one of these could have been on a billboard at Coney Island!

At least I tried and nobody died.

Eh, I ain’t perfect, but at least I got all my hair.

You can’t have steak without mistakes.

I never said I was Neal Peart!

Hey, if nobody screwed up, we wouldn’t have chimichangas.

You can’t sue me for trying.

I may have screwed up, but at least it was funny.

It only counts as a failure if you don’t laugh.

Hey, Rome wasn’t burnt down in a day.

So I stink, at least people smelled it.

It’s all french fries to me!

Not every topping’s a winner.

If nobody was a loser, there’d be no point in keeping score.

I think we got it right with the line we went with, though. Some of these don’t make any sense.
