Could someone explain to me.....

There were a couple lines I didn't get in this riff:

Early in the movie, Harry Potter gets an unstamped letter, and somebody riffs about someone named Eda Demosh(sp?).

Also, as the snitch (or whatever it's called) flies by Harry Potter in the Quidditch match, Kevin riffs in a mock voice "Anyone ever tell you you look like [Dollop?] from Scooby-Doo?"  Now, if he had said Velma, that'd make total sense.  I thought maybe he said Daphne instead of Velma.  But it didn't sound like Daphne.  Anyone have an idea?

Kids love the Pynchon references.

Thanks, Conor!  As a former English major, I find this exciting (NERD!).  Looks like I need to brush up on my postmodern fiction.

Somewhat on topic, also in this track, Kevin (or whoever) taught me about the Sword of Damoncles.  I've already shared with a friend how coincidentally his desires reflect those of Damoncles (I'll let you guess whether I told him a funnyman introduced it to me or not).  And then I dropped a sword on his head!  And that's how I found out that kids aren't always into literature humor (or could it be massive headwounds; needs more testing).
