For everyone who doesn't have Twitter, or simply didn't want to go try and scroll through all the tweets to get to it, here are the Q&As from this afternoon/evening!

First up was Tim!

Q: Do you think Lassiter will ever get a girlfriend?

A: Yes, he'd fall for an instructor from the Academy that's a better shot than him

Q from @dojhar: What's your favorite part about playing Lassiter?

A: Guns! Guns! Guns!

Q from @mgardner: How much of the show is improvised vs. scripted?

A: 96% scripted then it's all genius after that.

Q from @chckndnce: What do you enjoy most about working on Psych?

A: Besides, the guns, guns, guns…it's all about the people.

Q from @acubound05: Have you found any tricks for keeping a straight face to James during takes?

A: None, it's hopeless.

Q from @jedipirate: What the toughest thing about playing Lassiter?

A: Keeping a straight face!

Q from @ohwowstella: Does anything happen between Shawn and Juliet?

A: Who?

Q from @_Joyce_: Will we get to hear Lassie sing anytime in the show?

A: Only during his next shower scene.

Q from @coffeebeans10: Do you and James share the same friendship off-screen as Lassie and Shawn?

A: Fortunately, it's much better off screen.

Q from @elainethegeek: Who's more fun to play: Lassie or that leprechaun from the Disney Channel movie?

A: Seamus never got to squeeze out 14 rounds from a Glock 17

Q from @agarderik: Tim, can I look forward to another "Superfreak"-esque Psychout from you this season?

A: There may be something involving "I'm too sexy"

Q from @KDeLaRiva: How much pain were you really hiding on screen after you broke your collarbone?

A: The pain went to 11 (Spinal Tap reference, look it up!)

Q from @Winky_Cutto: Future writing and directing?

A: Toying with directing…we'll see what happens.

Q from @RowdyFan51: My heart broke for Lassie when he got drunk at the bar and opened up to Shawn. Do we get to see anymore of that?

A: Drunkenness? Tenderness?

Q from @Texasartchick: Is there any particular aspect of Lassiter's personality you'd like to see explored on the show?

A: His friendship with Juliet.

Q from @Texasartchick: Will you continue to write Lassiter's blog?

A: Yes, and might give this Twitter thing a try too.

Q from @VivreNuit: What about snowglobes causes nightmares for your character? Is there a root to the fear beyond having nightmares?

Q from @jojocanthink: What's your favorite episode so far?"

A: This season's "High Noonish"; however, the best is yet to come.

Q from @minuferdows: Has anybody told you, you look like the bad guy from Lazy Town?

A: Pretty damn close.

*I edited that for the board, lol...

Next was Steve:

Q from @Italian_Bella19: How are you such a genius and how did you come up with the idea of Psych?

A: Italian Bella, how are YOU such a genius? Came up w/ it as a movie idea 5 years before the show and realized it should be a TV show.

Q from @filmfreak26: Which Psych character are YOU most like?

A: I guess I’m most like Shawn but all my neurosis are Gus.

Comment from @dragonnan: First of all, you are amazing. I've never loved a series more than this one, and that includes X-Files.

A: That’s very kind and we appreciate it. We love our fans more than The X-Files. We love our fans. We’re lucky to have fans.

Q from @_emeline: Who comes up with the episode titles? The writer of the specific episode?

A: We all do and until we have a crazy episode title we don't feel we have an episode. Saladin Patterson is especially good at them.

Q from @DavidPrevost: When you're not busy being a creative genius, what other TV shows do you watch?

A: Don’t judge me…Amazing Race, Survivor, hours of ESPN news, anything on the Food Network especially The Best Thing I Ever Ate

Q from @jujube5160: Can we expect to see Cybil Shepherd back this season?

A: YES! As soon as we come up with a great idea.

Q from @FilmTVGuyNYC: Have you ever done a cameo in an episode we might not be aware of?

A: Yes, I Was "Six Feet Under the Sea" but I cut myself out in editing. It's on the DVD bonus features. I was carrying the pineapple.

Q from @acubound05: You've said before that you had plans for 7 seasons on Psych. Was that an arbitrary number? Have you planned for more?

A: It was arbitrary, but I just up'd it to 9!

Q from @bryceseifert: Will there ever be a Monk/Psych crossover?

A: It's something we've always wanted to do but Monk is about over.

And finally, James, Dulé, Tim, and Maggie all did some after the panel was over.

Q from @komikero for James: Does he see himself writing and directing a horror film in the future? Seems like he as a taste for it.

James: Actually, yes. I co-wrote a film called GRAVY that I'll be directing.

Q from @KathYLFlack: Ice cream, sherbet, gelato, or sorbet

A: James/Tim/Maggie/Dulé in unison reply GELATO. Dulé adds "...and espresso, cappuccino and anything else that ends in 'o'"

Q from @iLuke08: Did James and Dulé ever hear their German voices? Do they even know that Psych is in Germany? What do they think?

Q from @junebug94 for James and Dulé: If you were to go to comic con dressed up, what would you dress up as?

James: Jason Voorhees from Friday the 13th.

Dulé: Shaft or Tim dressed as his character from Xena Warrior Princess.

Q from @sllake: Favorite guest star?

Dulé: That one could get us in trouble by asking us to pick a favorite! We have had some amazing guest stars; they're all fun to work with.

Q from Mobile Submission: What's the deal with the 3 Hole Punch?

James: It’s directed at Tim, one of our writers, who claimed that using the phrase "3 hole punch" was funnier than "3 hole puncher"

Q from Mobile Submission: Maggie, any plans for another Lifetime Movie?

Maggie: No plans; I'm sticking with Psych.

Q from Mobile Submission: Who's the biggest prankster on set?

James: Who is the ONLY prankster on set? That would be Dulé.

Dulé: Besides this one? (laughs)

James: A recent interviewer asked "What can we expect from season 3?" [they are filming season 4!]

Q from Facebook: I usually spot a surfer walking in front of the Psych office. What's his story? Clearly, there are no waves.
