At the Laser Dome, the gang is getting seated. Kim is scowling. Ken and Amy check each other out as do Lindsay and Nick, who keep an empty seat between themselves. Ken tries to force a beverage on Amy, but she isn't thirsty. She offers to buy Ken a hot dog and he accepts, so she gets up to get one. Kim and Daniel get comfortable and then she questions him about Wendy Franklin. Daniel won't take the bait so Kim storms off. Daniel advises Nick to stay away from Lindsay. The show begins to hoots from the audience and Nick yelling, "Floyd rules! 'Comfortably Numb'!" However, when the music starts it is the Charlie Daniels Band doing "The Devil Went Down to Georgia," accompanied by laser depictions of cowboy boots and cacti. Nick wants to know "what the hell happened to Floyd?" A cowboy-hatted guy in the audience tells him that the Pink Floyd show is next week and tonight is Southern Rock night, which he punctuates with a "yee haw!" Nick is aghast but then he has to laugh at his stupidity with Lindsay. I bet you didn't know that there's a Charlie Daniels Park in Mt. Juliet, Tennessee. It seems that he lives there and he donated some land to create a public park which is visible from my second-cousin-in-law's backyard. So, Charlie Daniels is a crusader against Satan and a philanthropist.
It's now dark outside and the geeks are pushing their bikes. Bill and Sam are tired and really want to stop looking. Neal is angry that they're bailing on him and he takes off without them.
Back at Laser Dome, Daniel asks Ken if he's made a move on Amy yet. Daniel advises staring at Amy "until there's nothing left to do but kiss." Amy comes back with the hot dogs and Ken stares at her as if he were deranged.
Lindsay apologizes to Nick for being bitchy but explains that she did it because she thought he might still like her. Nick lies and calls her "really conceited." He looks like he's going to have a stroke. Then Lynyrd Skynyrd's "Freebird" starts up and I have a stroke. I hate that song with the white-hot intensity of a thousand suns. Did you know that the band is so named because in highschool they had a teacher or principal named Leonard Skinnerd whom they hated? I guess if the geeks ever started a band, they could call it 'Coatch Fredrix' or something.
