The Fishstick That Saved Westview

Just skip to the end where Anal takes over as the head coach and Bull goes back to being full-time AD. Never mind the fact that the goats had to hold a raffle to save sports. Apparently the realistically sold-out gym gives them enough revenue to expand.

The question of Fishstick Annie’s precise status is an interesting one…Would Bull take this kind of guff from a mere volunteer that he requested? Unlikely. So it suggests she’s been given authority over him. But by who? And how, if the school’s finances are so bad that a failed levy lead to the entire sporting program being almost canceled a week afterwards?

Well, it’s official: the cash-strapped sports program has made room on the payroll for a new assistant girls’ basketball coach. I suppose his position as athletic director (albeit a completely inept one) gives Bull carte blanche to hire an assistant on the spot. If Ann had been given that title before the game, surely Bull wouldn’t have saved this fact for a post-game surprise. And to Jimmy’s point, yeah, it would make more sense just to appoint her as girls’ coach rather than creating an assistant position, especially with only seven girls on the team.

Raging Bull

Well would ya look at Bull, actually up and moving around and, well, coaching for once! And Summer delivering a forearm smash to a defender (is that legal?)! Yes, the She-Goats are bringin’ it! Meanwhile, Linda grimly delivers the punchline, the whole time secretly wishing for for her husband’s ticker to give out right on the court.

That's So Westview

But if the “vendos” were removed from the faculty workroom, how did Cody ‘n’ Owen get in trouble yesterday for…ah, who gives a crap. So where else outside this comic strip would you hear the harmless vendo referred to as the “Carousel of Death”?

Bingo, Sherlock

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!
