Here's what Jim Cramer had to say about some of the stocks that callers offered up during the "Mad Money Lightning Round" Tuesday evening:

Forest Oil(FST Quote): "We might as well go with the big dogs. ... On a pullback, we got the Exxon (XOM Quote) down a buck. ... That's my gift to you."

Respironics(RESP Quote): "If I'm gonna do medical technology ... I like the Becton Dickinson(BDX Quote)."

Smith & Wesson(SWHC Quote): "The government is owned and operated not by the corporations, but by the NRA. ... I'd own that stock up to 10."

Tyco(TYC Quote): "I suggest that you sell Tyco, if not totally boycott. ... And literally, on any other conglomerate, you'll make money."

Cytyc(CYTC Quote): "Down 17% for the year. ... If you want the safety, I'd go to Becton Dickinson. ... But I like this stock down here."

Qwest(Q Quote): "What is not to like about Qwest? ... Every time I mention that stock , the Denver Post picks it up like I am the Pied Piper of Qwest. ... Next stop, $10."

Bema Gold(BGO Quote): "I think you should be in Yamana Gold(AUY Quote). "Cheaper, better and more fun."

"Countrywide Financial(CFC Quote) is too cheap. ... I like this stock under 35. Two thumbs up, way up."

"Disney(DIS Quote) was formerly run by Brezhnev, and then Gorbachev came in. ... The Kremlin has been destroyed. Long live freedom. ... I meant that Michael Eisner is no longer running Disney. Bob Iger is."

EuroZinc(EZM Quote): "A call [options] on the base metals."

EZ Corp.(EZPW Quote): "I would rather see you in Capital One Financial(COF Quote). ... They can even make more money than a pawn shop."
