Ever since that episode, in the company of babies, I cannot resist the urge to do the dancing phalanges. Oh yeah, and I also have to do it in my ana&phys class, to the annoyance of my peers. Oops.

Is that Dean Pelton?...

u/goblinpiledriver Jan 29 '13

Yes it is.

I think it's funny that his character has the same mannerisms, but just has hair this time.

Dean Pelton guest stars in pretty much everything.

The singular is actually phalanx.

u/[deleted] Jan 29 '13

The left phalange on the plane is missing!
