Search-engine pessimization

An image search for "batman cat images" yielded mostly AI, fanart, and creepy photos of pets in Halloween costumes. So I'm guessing the doll here is really Catboy from the Disney Jr. series PJ Masks. That would put Tuesday Chick's childhood no earlier than 2015, which seems a little too recent for nostalgia. Maybe closer to "recollection" but who knows? Kids these days!

There's no joke here unless the captain gets sanctioned for colorful language.

Oh my goodness who could possibly have seen this coming? But what I really want to know is how many levels of irony it is when Les's students read Fahrenheit 451 by the light of a burning bookstore. Or if that pumper is actually headed to Ed's house to put out a grill fire.

The full text of Proverbs 19:4 (RSV2) is, "Wealth brings many new friends, but a poor man is deserted by his friend." So Andy selflessly keeps his money to maintain a treasured friendship, and look at the thanks he gets!
