That is what it looked like to me.

Whatever you do, don't answer this.

Polly: Basil... Baaaaasil....
Basil: Yes?
*table jumps as Polly hits underside*

11. I think the home run record IS a macguffin.
It gives people a reason to follow the greater Bonds/steroid controversy itself.

18. And I'm not?
:shrug:

No, it's a literary thing. Alfred Hitchcock illustrates McGuffin in an interview in 1966 with this story about two guys on a train:

"It might be a Scottish name, taken from a story about two men in a train. One man says, 'What's that package up there in the baggage rack?' And the other answers, 'Oh that's a McGuffin.' The first one asks 'What's a McGuffin?' 'Well' the other man says, 'It's an apparatus for trapping lions in the Scottish Highlands.' The first man says, 'But there are no lions in the Scottish Highlands,' and the other one answers 'Well, then that's no McGuffin!' So you see, a McGuffin is nothing at all."
