Yep, nothin’ like a cold bottle of “pop” from the “vendo”! The boys are having a hard time coming to grips with the loss of the vending machines. I would take Linda to task for condescending to Owen and Cody (“It’s called a drinking fountain”), but Owen is so dense, chances are that he actually needed this explained to him.

Vendo, Vidi, Vici
Life has just commenced to suck even worse for the students of Westview High. Gone are the snack vending machines, leaving only faint shadows on the wall to mark their former location. Apparently Linda has been stationed there to serve as a grief counselor for the traumatized students.
(Aside to our Ohio friends: do they really call vending machines “vendos”? Sounds like some Nadsat slang from A Clockwork Orange.)
Titletown
TB is not content to trash the character of Bull by making him seem stupid and ineffectual. Today he has Bull actually sashaying down the corridor to verify Summer’s claim that Ann Fairgood’s Nannys did indeed bring home the District Title trophy to old Westview. I don’t see Ann’s name on that hardware, and the golden figure on top appears to be ice skating rather than shooting baskets, but the sight of it is enough to elicit slackjawed awe from the coach.
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!

Cayla…is not actually a Cassandra; she’s simply predicting doom and gloom without any sense of either having said anything worthwhile or being ignored. In other words, she’s a typical Funky Winkerbean character.sourbelly

Cayla…seems to have suddenly, and for no discernible reason, become a Nattering Nabob of Negativity for no particular reason.Charles

Obviously, Batiuk needs to make Cayla as much of a negative ass as he can so she fits in with the rest of the cast. Sheesh…Can you imagine being a high school athlete, and not simply that, but a good high school athlete, with a Mom like that?
We’ve seen the She-Goats stink up the joint before. But the weird thing about the season just underway is Cayla’s sudden lack of confidence in her daughter’s team. “High expectations goeth before an upset.” “The customer is always wrong.” Covering her eyes when Kei$ha makes a free throw. Look at her lack of expression as she bemoans their lack of teamwork. What the hell has gotten into her?
