Ahh, part 2. Found some lovely pictures here…. And Kristen, I must admit that I am so grateful you suggested adding a “Lee in Plaid” category. I think this is my favorite category this week!
Enjoy!
BJo
Amanda Boo Boos
One. Amanda was dragged at gunpoint to a meeting with Mr. Bobbie Bouchard. She didn’t get physically hurt but since she had to be saved by Scarecrow, I’m going to count it. Thoughts?
LEE WINKS
None – drat! When do these start?
Amandarambles
AK: Since I can’t remember the name of my maternal great-great-grandmother I thought that since you have to check my family tree history for security leaks and I’d have to be on this probationary period, that, while I’m on it in the meantime well, maybe you could go ahead and I could work for you if you needed me. So, do you need me? LS: Un uh. (Is that how you spell that?)
LS: Alright, if you are so damn normal, you solve the case! AK: Well maybe I will……Right, so its broken, right? So she’s standing there and she’s got wet hair and she’s desperate if she doesn’t do something soon it’s going to frizz all out. But out in the garage she’s got boxes and boxes of those hair dryers. So what does she do? I’ll tell you what she does! She goes out there and opens one of the boxes and that’s what Harriet tells the company and that’s what gets her in trouble and that’s what gets her killed! LS: You just think of that? AK: Yeah, dumb? LS: No, good!
Lee in plaid
Okay Kristen, here’s some more research for you – but like you said…the job has perks! Is this considered plaid? I think it might be, but you better take a look and let me know what you think….
AK: I would feel guilty, you know? Like I was having a thing or something. LS: A thing? AK: Yes, you know – a thing. LS: Like an affair. AK: Yes, that kind of a thing.
Here’s wider view shot to aid you in your research….
LS: Well you’re not. Now, do you like a window open at night?
And just one more close-up from a different angle. I want to make sure you really get a good view of this potential plaid….you know, to aid in your research…my mother always told me it was good to be helpful!
AK: Who gets the bed? LS: The senior agent always gets the bed. (Oh my…
)
Who left their keys this week?
Lee does – when he races over to find Amanda at the Connie Beth sales meeting. He doesn’t even bother to shut the door tight! Oh, those classic cars….
I’m guessing he left his keys in the car when he’s following Judy Wainwright, but we don’t get to see him get in or out of the car in that scene so I’m not going to count it. Oh, and let’s not forget that Ms. Judy was considerate enough though to leave her window open for Lee so that he could steal a hair dryer package….
Jack Sightings
Didn’t see either Jack this week.
Jill sightings
Nor Jill. I looked hard though – especially during the Connie Beth sales meeting when they are singing that awful song. Icky!
Gratuitous Dimple shots 
You can’t go in there, Mr. King! (Mr. King?!? ROFL! I just love that he was actually called that in an episode! Wait, does that make him a bomber father? Oh darn, we haven’t gotten to that episode yet….)
Bye! (Is that a rare left dimple I see?? I think I see it in the pic above too.)
You’re going to pose as my wife. Okay, so there is no dimple here. But let me tell you what is here…. See that little dark spot on Lee’s cheek sort of back by the angle of his jaw? That is a shadow from his flexing jaw muscle….and that little flexing jaw muscle is well, um, you know, even more so than his dimples IMHO….
I don’t know how he does that, but when he does, wow…. Someone please tell me that I am not alone in this line of thinking!?!?
Look, what do I know about every day life? (Not much!! But you are about to learn!)
AK: Why do I look so messy and you look so good? LS: Beats me! (Um, duh, Amanda, it’s probably because all that Lee has done is hang that gigantic buffalo head your mother contributed! Do you think Amanda was being sarcastic or sincere with that question?)
Awww…just look at him. Does he look a trifle nervous to you? I bet he just can’t wait to meet everybody in the Welcome Wagon. 
Ok, so no dimple here – I couldn’t help put this one in though – Lee’s first try at being a “normal” person!
I just know there is a dimple in this picture somewhere….
In this one too. The first one to find it gets extra points! Get your mind out of the gutter, will ya? 
FD: So, how is married live treating you, huh? Dinner at 6, dishes at 7, tv till 9. LS: Bed. FD: Bed? LS: You know Francine, I’ve gained a lot of respect for the generosity and stamina of the American housewife. FD: You’re disgusting. (ROFLMBO!!!! That is one of the best lines of the series, I think!)
LS: Look, do you want to get a drink? I’ll tell you all about it. AK: Uh, no, I can’t. Maybe some other time, huh? (Awww, poor guy…he handled that rejection well. I wonder how often that has happened? I wonder what he is thinking at this moment….)
AK: I’ll give you this. I guess I won’t be needing it anymore. LS: Yeah, right. (I love this picture of the two of them, so of course I had to include it! And if you look really closely, you can see a right cheek dimple!)
Oh, Lee….just you wait!!!!!
Let’s recap…
Amanda “Boo boos” – 1
Lee Winks – 0
Amandarambles – 2
Lee in Plaid – Yes! I mean once. Ahem. I think it was a blue plaid shirt. I’ll go back and check. Again. 
Who Left their keys this week? – Lee.
Jack Sightings – 0
Jill Sightings -0
Unless there are objections, my plan is to do stats using IWSOD’s revised episode order. It’s more enjoyable to watch that way plus it won’t affect the stats. That would mean next up is The ACM Kid. Speak now or forever hold your peace!! 🙂

"Just walk with me.." 
Wait! There was a shirt in that scene!? Lemme go back and check…
Ah…nope still not seeing it! 😉
Also adore the cheek flex, especially since it’s usually when he’s either frustrated with Amanda or angry cause someone’s trying to hurt her.
Buuuut I think I still prefer the dimples 🙂
Gotta say I don’t mind an amandaband – makes her look sporty 🙂
And I love the amandaramble – makes her adorable 🙂
And I think she’s being hard on Lee about only having hung the buffalo head – that thing looks bloody heavy! And he still looks that good after it!

ROFL!! Have you read the stats post for TACMK yet? Curious what you might have to say about a certain picture in that one….
Yay – another fan of cheeky Lee 🙂 There’s a song in my playlist that I always listen to that reminds me of Lee and Amanda in S1/S2. There’s a line in it about being lazy and I always picture Amanda and Lee’s conversation after he finishes hanging that buffalo head!!!

Just read through stats of TACMK. Well that was about an hour ago – I think it took me that long to get myself back off the floor & dry off from the drool (must have been someone else’s! Cause I’m way cooler than that! 😉 )

😆 ebineez! The song is Oath by Cher Lloyd. If I had any ability at all, I’d make an SMK video for each season. Oath would be S2, with a few bits of S1 sprinkled in.

I wonder why in the other seasons the don’t really show Lee with his shirts open or bare chested?
LikeLike
I hear you! Maybe because BB was a little heavier (but still divine) in the later seasons, or the powers that be instituted a ‘no skin policy’ , or the squeals heard round the country when he did flash some pecs were deafening, I do not know. I think there has already been more chestal (I just made up that word!) shots of BB in the one season of Babylon 5 then all of SMK.

Well, I went ahead and studied the potential plaid very, very hard. Had to go through the screen pics over and over….and over again. 🙂 I vote yes on the plaid. Of course, in this case, the research is much more important than the end result! 😉
BJo, I completely agree with you on that cheek muscle thing he does! I notice it all the time. Happens a lot in every episode. Maybe that should be a new category.
Oh, and the “Mr. King” gets revisited in A Lovely Little Affair in season three. When Lee arrives at Amanda’s he pays the pizza delivery guy for the pizza, and the guys refers to him as “Mr. King”. Best part is he just smiles. Of course this is right after he refers to Amanda as “the little lady”. Doesn’t he do that, as well, in this episode, at the beginning? I need to go back a post to make sure.
My favorite part about Amandaramble #2 is that he compliments her theory at the end of it!

It was dumb luck this time – I was trying to get the best dimple shots. I’ll keep trying though – I’m feeling a challenge now, which is a good thing! 🙂
The pizza delivery guy does call Lee Mr. King at the beginning of ALLA! In fact I remember being completely confused when I saw it the very first time. My thoughts then were something like this – What? They’re married? Why would he take her name? Wait? This is season 3 – they haven’t even kissed for real yet? I can’t believe they did this to us – how could they skip their whole getting together thing? – that stinks! I’m going to write someone! And then of course, Amanda comes out, they have their little conversation and she sticks him with the bill for the pizza – ROFL!! – Ahhhh, all is right in SMK land. How could I have fallen for it! Head slap! I’ll have to go back and check, but maybe he was wearing a plaid shirt and after not seeing him all summer, maybe I was just a little light-headed.

I am sorry I cannot contribute to the “is it plaid or not” shirt debate. For some reason, even after scrutinizing the screen shots over and over again I just cannot focus on the shirt pattern or colour. Being the trooper I am (because this is a hugely important issue), I will go back and give it another go around. 🙂

Hello Everyone! I am very happy to see that y’all are enjoying all the plaid and dimple shots! It was fun to write the post for sure.
Jenbo – I’m glad you were able to regain some rational thought….as far as I know most Americans pronounce it “plad”, like the way Lee says it in the episode. I have heard it pronounced “pl-aid” but I think it was on TV and I think it was said by someone from the UK. I tried to capture Amanda with the knife in a post as if she was waving it at Lee to be funny, but she doesn’t really wave it at him in the scene.
Conny and raffie5 – Thanks for letting me know you stopped by to check out the dimples and the plaid – and enjoyed them! One or the other will be a regular stat in each future post!
Kristen – That is hysterical that Lee shows up when you google what is plaid!!! I did it just to see the picture. I’m sure that outfit will make a future post. And thank you for researching the definition of plaid – I’m glad you’re taking your job just as seriously as I am mine. 😉
iwsod – You’re right – I should count that Connie Beth girl as a boo boo!! Hahahaha! What a wretched song! As far as those Amandabands go, I won’t give it away, but the TTFOE is not the last time we see one of those heinous things. And I do think you are right – there is a direct correlation between the disappearance of those things and the improvement of her work! I’m glad you didn’t spray your coffee on your computer – that could have been a disaster! just keep that in mine for future posts though!!! 🙂 I just love doing dimple and plaid research!! Thank you Cindy and Kristen!

How do you pronounce “plaid”? Is it pl-aid or plad? Here in UK we say check shirt cos it’s easier LOL
Lovin the eyebrow raise Lee did, I must have missed it as I am always too busy giggling at the enormous buffalo head on the wall. I would seriously love to know where dotty got that from ROFL
It’s scary how relaxed Amanada is waving that knife around. Clearly she’s more at home with knives than guns! Which then makes me think of the film Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels when one of the characters enthuses about knives being better than guns “guns for show, knives for a pro” LOL maybe Amanda could have gone down that route LOL

Jenbo, your comment about Amanda waving the knife around cracks me up. It reminded me (of course it did – doesn’t SMK always remind me of something else?) of a Leverage episode when Eliot (the guy that usually has the job of hitting people) is explaining knife usage.

Melissa I Love love love Leverage! I am only new to it though, I’m about to finish season 1.. I’ve been taking it very slow – as I know the show isn’t running anymore but I only just discovered it on dvd about six months ago! Have seasons 2,3,4 all waiting in my dvd collection! [blogging comes first so leverage time has to wait!] The characters are fantastic! Ahhh Elliot! I can see why you’d like him! 😉 I do wish he’d cut his hair though.. it just doesn’t do it for me! Okay Melissa.. so you are going to start a remington steele blog one of these days?? maybe a leverage blog too?? oh whoa.. there could be one out there and I wouldn’t know it! That clip is actually from the last episode I watched of Leverage! Loved that episode!!! Elliot was so upset when that evil women criticised his stuffed mushrooms!! He was too cute with how proud he was of the hint of lemon! 😉 tee hee! ‘High End!!!!’ She was awful!! I love Leverage because alot of the comedy in it is around knowing the characters 🙂 Great characters.. Leverage is High End! 🙂
Cindy what debate ? Is it plaid or isn’t it plaid? My answer was: It’s OPEN!!!! *drool* That’s all I needed to know.. 😉
edited to add: Hiya Jenbo!!! Just watched your vid.. I don’t know lock, stock and two smoking barrels – is it a comedy? I’ve seen that actor before.. He was in a movie called The man who knew too little ( whooo and that’s a spoofy spy comedy too!)
thanks for sharing!
edited to add more!: Jenbo’s vid reminded me of burn notice- Don’t ask me which episode.. but back when Burn notice was less intense and funnier, there was a guy Sam was threatening with a really big knife to get information- and the it was hilarious, the guy was terrified but we knew Sam wouldn’t hurt him.. Sam called the knife ‘ Mr Slicey’ – ROFLMBO so whenever I see a big knife like the one Amanda uses to make her sandwich with I think of Mr Slicey! 🙂

It’s kinda black comedy, sort of british gangsta genre. It’s made by Guy Rictchie (he being ex Mr Madonna ;)) The actor endorsing knives is Dexter Fletcher, he’s been about in UK since the 80’s so well known here. It’s a good film, violent, plenty of swearing, the singer Sting is in it as is Jason Statham (who’s made his name in several action films, Italian Job etc)
I reckon Amanda could have made her name as the spy with the knife, especially with the way she stabs it into the chopping board!!!!

I just want everyone to know that I’m taking my job very seriously. Here is a definition from Wikipedia…A plaid is a pattern consisting of crossed horizontal and vertical bands in two or more colours in woven cloth.
Then it gives some examples of different kinds of plaid patterns.
Now, here’s the good part. If you google “what is plaid” and click on ‘images’ guess who is there…first picture in the 5th row? Yep, you guessed it…it’s Lee in plaid shirt and tan blazer 🙂 ROFL!
Sadly they didn’t post the pic from this episode but after very careful scrutinization 🙂 I’m positive that Lee is in a blue plaid shirt here. Now, I’m going to go back look at those pictures…uh, I mean READ your post again.
