Friday night in the poolhouse. Richard tells Rory that this is a great honor. Rory says she knows. Lorelai is wearing the same shirt she was wearing at the top of the episode. I'm paying attention to Lorelai's wardrobe because the rest of this, while apparently technically accurate, is just a boring Yalefest to me. Rory and Richard debate what Rory should show Anna, besides Rory's classes and the newspaper. There's also a trip to see the Gutenberg (Lorelai: "Steve?" Richard: "Bible."). Hey, Yale. We had one of those at UT, too. Suck it, Richies. Lorelai points out that Rory's tour is a snoozefest, and needs some kind of fun or else Anna will want to fling herself off of Yale's tallest library, even if it's just a quick trip past the drama students yelling "Give me a location!" Richard says that Lorelai might be right. "Who heard that?" Lorelai shouts. Richard and Rory decide to take Anna to "touch the toe," which you rub for luck. "Wow, that is fun," Lorelai says. "Make sure you get a parent consent form for that one." Apparently the toe is true. Here's the difference between Yale and UT. When you're on the UT tour? They don't take you to some rubbed-off toenail. You go to the main building, from the tower of which Whitman shot all those people, and you stand on the steps just behind the statue of George Washington holding a scroll. If you stand at the right angle, it looks like our first President is holding his erect penis. And that's what they show you on every campus tour. I'm not kidding. I am serious. Richard tells Rory that the friends she makes now will be with her for life. Man, that's true. Paris is going to end up Rory's maid of honor. Rory lies that she's got some great friends at Yale. Richard asks about Logan. Lorelai can't believe Richard knows something about a boy that Lorelai doesn't, and also has no idea who he's talking about when he mentions Logan's parents. That makes all of us, Lorelai. Rory tells Lorelai that he's the boy who took her home from the "Male Yale" party the other night. Lorelai correctly identifies him as "limo boy." Richard reminds Rory that Logan's father owns a ton of newspapers. Rory smirks that she already knew that, because she's planning on dating someone to get a job, I guess. Richard also giggles fiendishly, proud that his granddaughter has an opportunity to sleep her way to the top.
