Allow me to cut and paste the quote from SNPP.

% Lucy Lawless, TV's Xena on "Xena: Warrior Princess" addresses a
% group of her fans.

Lawless: ... but I'm sure that once girls get to know the
real you, you'll get plenty of dates. Next
question.
[hands go up. She picks Frink]
Frink: Yes, over here, n'hey, n'hey. In episode BF12, you
were battling barbarians while riding a winged
Appaloosa, yet in the very next scene, my dear,
you're clearly atop a winged Arabian. Please do
explain it.
Lawless: Ah, yeah, well, whenever you notice something like
that, a wizard did it.
Frink: I see, all right, yes, but in episode AG4 --
Lawless: Wizard.
Frink: [under breath] Aw, for glaven out loud.

Why are you guys so obsessed with that "Baker Street" song? BTW, I
heard that Smithers is gay!

He turned gay when he found out Springfield was in San Francisco.
While downloading illegal Simpsons episode files from a great, secret
site, he stumbled upon that information.

As we are obviously unfamiliar with jokes, I will be closing the
register at this point. ;-)

No you may NOT. I am all out; though, I have a surprising number of
"Lee Carvalho's Putting Challenge" still available.

When the results of the poll came in, 86% of voters said "Baker
Street" to President Simpson's refund adjustment. We'll "Baker YOUR
Street", at 11:00.

A wizard did it is the Xena Warrior Princess thing. When the geeks go to the
book signing or whatever they point out some descrepances in the show, and
Xena says whenever you see something like that A wizard did it.


hope this helps you out
