Old Flamingo Digest <Unofficial> Episode Titles
Back in the old days before the official episode titles became available,
the Flamingo Digest mailing list members made up unofficial titles for
the episodes. The principle seems to have been to construct the worst
possible pun (often based on a movie title) which had some resonance with
the episode in question. Once the official titles became available,
the unofficial titles were eventually removed from the episode guide.
The proposed titles were inventive and in many cases better than the
official titles, too good to be simply forgotten. Accordingly, I have
restored them to the guide as part of this supplement.
