'Roids

“It’s-a meeee, Ton-eeee!”

“…and speaking of Asteroids, I think I’ll go downstairs and lose myself in my collection of vintage arcade games.” The harangue continues into Day 4, and yeah, folks, I peeked ahead because I have to: the theme continues through Friday and Saturday. As I pointed out Tuesday, Darin has, over time, lost his Pinocchio nose and become less “cartoony”, while Tony is just a red cap and pair of overalls away from going into the plumbing business.

SoSF would like to note the passing of Apple co-founder Steve Jobs, a genius entrepreneur and inventor whose vision changed the world (while unfortunately giving rise to smug know-it-all technogeeks like Darin). Rest in peace, Steve.

It's Called Cheating

Les vents to his “work wife” Linda about how another student tried to pass off a purchased paper as his own work. I wonder if that student’s offense was dealt with as lightly as was Maddie’s? “Everyone deserves a second chance, Cory…so here’s what I’m going to do. Your dad owns a pizza parlor…so why don’t you make a pizza in the shape of a whale?”

Hi, Jinx

Maddie makes the mistake of confiding in Jinx, who blurts out her secret loud enough to send Curly Blue Haired Kid looking for a faculty member to snitch to.

Inspiration Meets Desperation

Hey Bull: maybe you could save the school some money by eliminating alternate-color helmets for away games!

As the ‘goats gird their loins for the game, Bull waxes philosophical, quoting Lily Tomlin but also pretty much summing up the day-to-day lonely hell that is life in Westview, Ohio.

Make 'em Pay

School’s in, and Les is still a teacher at Westview High, and bumbling Bull has managed to hang on as the Scapegoats’ athletic director. Les brings up the unpopular phenomenon of Pay-to-Participate fees that are being instituted in cash-strapped schools. Bull’s wife Linda brings up the fact that Westview’s football team sucks.
