    For people like me, who didn’t get it: Euripides: a greek philosopher who’se name sounds like the phrase " Did you rip these?" Eumenides: a tragedy by Aeschylus that sounds like the phrase " Will you mend these"

    I love it.

          Definitely. You don’t win that many Emmys without total saturation.
