Never mind that “Hound of the Basketballs” is an old, old gag…check out the full, white beard that Jim has grown over the weekend! Impressive!

Inconsola-Bull
It’s just not a Westview New Year’s Eve if there’s not somebody who’s depressed and all alone! Last year, of course, it was Les, ditching the party he was hosting to ring in 2011 with the ghost of Lisa. This year, Bull stares into the depths of his punch cup, looking for answers to the She-Goats’ 0-2 start. Would be nice of his wife to try to console him, except she’s too busy talking to Les, whose own significant other is forced to share a table with Principal Nate and Miss Grundy.
Thank you one and all for a terrific year of snarkin’! It’s an honor and a privilege to serve as your host. Best wishes for 2012, and if you are celebrating the New Year, please, please don’t drink and drive, and don’t ride with someone who’s impaired. Happy New Year to All!

Punch, Bull?
The action moves to a post-game New Year’s party, and Bull, still reeling from the She-Goats’ loss to Blue Valley, unwisely decides to unburden himself to Jim the Science Guy. Jim responds by misquoting Edwin Teller (“Sooner or later a fool will prove greater than the proof even in a foolproof system”) before proceeding to mix up “infer” and “imply”.
Khyber Bully
I don’t know a lot about basketball, and I don’t know anything about the Kyber Rifles (or what they have to do with basketball). I guess what happened tonight was Bull delivered a fiery speech before the game, and the girls came out a little too aggressive. It’s always Bull’s fault.
Tip Off
Just say it, Les: “…and they’re all here to see my little girl…um, our little girls!” Her betrothment to Les is already taking its toll on Cayla: she sports not only the tired-looking eye bags, but has also assumed the proper, gloomy Westview attitute. Think this prophecy is gonna self-fulfill?
