St. Louis Teen Book Festival

St. Louis Teen Book Festival

Post By:BookGirl This past weekend the St. Louis County Library and local book store the Novel Neighbor teamed up to put on the, first ever, St. Louis Teen Book Festival.

Hell no we are not letting this OFMD finale distract from that THIS LETTER.

Had a signature from Taika Waititi. I understand the sensitivity here this issue with Taika being Jewish(and that’s not my place as someone that’s Not Jewish or in those regions to condemn him on that perspective’s behalf) but this letter is directly bastardizing the situation.

Now, when there is a major production from a major figure in this platform that did this, is when we can make the most impact. Remember our values, even when those values involve a show that is strengthening the LGBTQ community.

Because this letter tore down the strength of the movement in support of Gaza. There are going to be so many people that saw this letter and take it completely uncritically, unchallenged.

Standing up for our values means sacrificing our interests, holding accountable the things we enjoy.

And also. I don’t want to see ANYONE. Being fucking antisemitic or racist towards Taika here. That is never appropriate and absolutely inexcusable behavior. You should he ashamed if you think that’s okay even after Taika’s actions.

[Text of Letter]

October 23, 2023

Dear President Biden, We are heartened by Friday's release of the two American hostages, Judith Ranaan and her daughter Natalie Ranaan and by today's release of two Israelis, Nurit Cooper and

Yocheved Lifshitz, whose husbands remain in captivity. But our relief is tempered by our overwhelming concern that 220 innocent people,

including 30 children, remain captive by terrorists, threatened with torture and death.

They were taken by Hamas in the savage massacre of October 7, where over 1,400

Israelis were slaughtered - women raped, families burned alive, and infants beheaded. Thank you for your unshakable moral conviction, leadership, and support for the Jewish people, who have been terrorized by Hamas since the group's founding over 35 years ago, and for the Palestinians, who have also been terrorized, oppressed, and victimized

by Hamas for the last 17 years that the group has been governing Gaza. We all want the same thing: Freedom for Israelis and Palestinians to live side by side in peace. Freedom from the brutal violence spread by Hamas. And most urgently, in this

moment, freedom for the hostages. We urge everyone to not rest until all hostages are released. No hostage can be left behind. Whether American, Argentinian, Australian, Azerbaijani, Brazilian, British, Canadian, Chilean, Chinese, Danish, Dutch, Eritrean, Filipino, French, German, Indian, Israeli, Italian, Kazakh, Mexican, Panamanian, Paraguayan, Peruvian, Polish, Portuguese, Romanian, Russian, South African, Spanish, Sri Lankan, Thai, Ukrainian,

Uzbekistani or otherwise, we need to bring them home.

Sincerely,

[Text of the names presented. This isn’t all of them, just the copy of this with Taika’s name on it)

School Scam (prod 207)

Original airdate: February 13, 2007

Story by Magnus Scheving

Written by Magnus Scheving, Mani Svavarrson, Noah Zachary

Directed by Magnus Scheving, Jonathan Judge

Starring Magnus Scheving, Stefan Karl Steffanson, Julianna Rose Mauriello

Puppeteers - Gudmondor Thor Karason, Jodi Eichelberger, David Matthew Feldman, Julie Westwood, Sarah Burgess, Ronald Binion, Emily Decola, Mary Robinette Kowal

I hate learning 123s for quick calculation..

I've seen the opening sequence so many times I don't even need to watch it to type this up - Sportacus makes the first three letters of the alphabet clouds using his skutla, and he says 'Now that's how to do the ABCs!' Maybe it has something to do with the fact a short clip of it is seen in every single one of the last two seasons' episodes.

Stephanie is finishing off some of her homework when Milford asks what she's doing at the house, then she asks what he's doing at the house, and he replies with 'I live here' - which reminds me why I think Season 2 is the best season, the humour and music. Máni Svavarrson had some kind of role in both of those, one bigger then the other. So Mani, if you see this, you rock! Anyways, Stephanie reminds him he's the principal of LazyTown School, and he should be ringing the bell and opening the door. So he starts ringing the bell.

Robbie is woken up by the bell and he mistakes it for his phone ringing, so he answers the phone. LOL, then he hears Milford's voice, hangs up, and asks himself who is ringing it. He goes to check using the periscope and sees Milford, and looks away. He says school is a terrible way to start the day - for once he says something agreeable!

Ziggy is attempting to walk to school, but his backpack is too heavy, and he falls into a wheelbarrow. Meanwhile, Stingy is being a moron. Trixie is carrying all his books when she says it's his turn to do so, and he asks what more she wants (Considering he's giving her his property). Stingy and Trixie see Ziggy fly by and Sportacus' crystal beeps. He flies to LazyTown using the sky bike and flips behind Stingy and Trixie, and asks Trixie for.. a pencil??

And Stingy for.. paper. Stingy rips off the CORNER of his page, expecting Sportacus to use that. Trixie yells at him and he gives Sportacus a bigger one. So Sportacus does some boring calculations.

LazyTown's too cool to cover MATHS!!! Anyways, he says he'll save him once he is 5 feet away from the wall, and once he is, he throws a yo-yo, wraps it around a tree, and Trixie tells Ziggy to grab hold of it. He does, and Sportacus gets him off. After thanking him, Ziggy nearly falls down again thanks to how heavy his bag is, and guess what his 'school supplies' were?

Ziggy is fictional. Ziggy is fictional. Ziggy is fictional. Ziggy is fictional. *deep breaths in and out* Anyways, Sportacus grabs an apple, Ziggy bites it, and he's energized now. He runs to school so he isn't late and also because he's excited as Sportacus said he might check up on him. Robbie is somehow annoyed by this and vows to stop the kids from learning anything so they don't become like 'Sportanerd'. LOL. But Stephanie does a frontflip in this episode, so uhh..

He decides to become a teacher so the kids learn nothing. He gets into his Professor H. R. Rottennen (what a boring long name) costume. At school, the kids perform I Like Learning. Once they finish, Milford arrives in the school, as well as Rottennen who introduces himself as the new teacher. When Milford asks why they need a new teacher, he yells at Milford - 'NO TALKING IN MY CLASS!' and he says 'Yes, teacher!'

I love this show. Rottennen pushes Milford out the room. So, the kids starts the lesson.. by sitting in a student's chair. LOL! The kids have to tell him he's supposed to sit up at the front. He laughs, and does so. Anyways, now it's reading time which yet again, the kids have to tell him. And here comes one of the funniest sequences from this show: He tells them to open their books, turn them around, and go to sleep!

I think it's this shot that just makes me laugh. Because all you can hear is his snoring for 2 seconds. Stingy coughs into a MEGAPHONE to wake him up. Then he wakes up, falls off his chair, stands up, and starts doing karate to.. the air?

I could take this scene, speed it up and caption it with sometihng funny like 'bro thinks he's bruce lee' or 'one minute without zaza', upload it to YouTube and get a million subscribers or something because that's how advanced humor is nowadays (even though I think my imaginary captions are funny but whatever). Anyways, when he realizes he looks like a weirdo, he says he's just stretching.

That's why this show rocks - it teaches you how to live healthy while appealing with amazing music & humor. It's been eighteen years since this episode was written and the humor still makes people laugh to this day. Anyways, now it's time for maths (LOL that was like 25 seconds), and they get out their maths books - Thus spawning the incredible quote once again 'Open your books, turn them around, and go to sleep!' Then they tell him that they're supposed to be adding and subtracting, and when he's lost words to say..

The bell comes in handy and the lesson has already ended. I wanna go to LazyTown School! After a while they have their next lesson which is outside. And Robbie tells them to sit down, lean, and go to sleep. LOL. But the kids keep on whining. Luckily, Sportanerd comes to the rescue.

He asks what new things they're learning and apparently they've learned to jump and flip and stuff, but the kids reveal they haven't learned how to jump the horse, and it takes a while for him to figure out what horse they mean. He attempts to do the jump aaaannnddd..

Oof! Hey Rotten, how are the family jewels? Then he turns upside-down, and falls off the horse. Then he says 'That is how you jump the cow.' I actually chuckled at that one. Maybe it was Stingy's response 'a COW?????' Stephanie asks Sportacus if he can teach the kids new moves. He does a QUADRUPLE backflip off the horse! Anyways, Rottenenn has somehow gone underground and is cutting a hole in the ground.

Once he comes back up, he tells the kids to go back inside and have a snack. When they all leave, he tells Sportacus that he didn't quite catch the landing of when he jumped off the horse and would like if he could do it again so he can teach the kids how to do so. So he does it again, Rottenenn pulls a lever that came out of nowhere, and mixing some shots from Secret Agent Zero and new ones for this episode, he falls into his trap.

He then goes back to class, snickering until he sees the kids with their science gear and he yells. Gosh, I love this episode. Now it's time for science. Rottenenn tells them to OPEN THEIR BOOKS, TURN THEM AROUND, LEAN FORWARD, AND GO TO SLEEP. I think this was the funniest because Stephanie has a huge smile on her face until she hears 'turn around' and looks at Trixie like Trixie's the camera and she's the main character in the sitcom. LOL!!!

The kids are now annoyed a lot and they tell him that they want to do science, and he actually listens to them. He starts flicking through some pages, and finds a formula. He starts mixing a few liquids and coincidentally, that's the exact same formula for..

AN EXPLOSIOOOONNNNNNN!! The liquid starts foaming, and all the kids run out. The only one still in there is Rottenenn. Robbie tries to open the door, but he breaks the handle, as well as Stephanie on the other side. The school explodes, Rottennen has to go to hospital, the end. Not really the end because the crystal beeps and Sportacus attempts to open the trap by getting the horse off it. Stephanie goes to find Sportacus, and she finds out he is trapped.

She tries to move the chair but she cannot since she isn't strong enough. Sportacus asks if there is Sportscandy nearby & he tells her to do the jump/flip that he did to get the Sportscandy and push the chair. Sure enough, she does it! But in one of the shots she looks like she JUMPED to get the apple.

She takes one bite and pushes the chair. Conveniently, Sportacus jumps onto the chair. Meanwhile, Rottennen has ripped the curtain and tied it to a table and is going to jump out the window, but Sportacus is jumping through the hole on top of the door. When he gets in, he startles Rottennen, causing him to fall out but Sportacus stops the table with his leg.

He asks the kids for help to stop the chemical reaction. Trixie opens up the science book and Pixel figures out the right amounts and liquids to put in - a little bit of the orange, a lot of the red, a liquid par?? of the green one. And whoop-de-doo, the green one is at the end of the table.

It explodes and they don't have school or a superhero anymore. The end. Well, not really, because here comes one of the coolest parts of the episode - Sportacus lets go of the table, flips across the teacher's desk, AND GRABS HOLD OF THE TABLE!

In his office, Milford is wondering how the new teacher is going. XD. Anyways, attempting to put just ONE drop of the green liquid inside, the cloth nearly rips, but Sportacus does it! THEN the cloth actually rips, but luckily Sportacus grabs it.

Milford hears the twang of the curtain, asks himself what it was, and despite the fact Rottenenn is literally outside of his window, he ignores it, and thinks it's nothing. Yes, the school nearly exploding & your 'new teacher' almost falling to the ground is nothing. Sportacus lifts him up back into the classroom, and his glasses fall off. Sportacus puts the door handle back in place, and opens the door, asking if the kids are okay. Robbie takes his wig off, replying with a firm YES! And now, the disguise is revealed, which is kinda stupid, because how'd he forget the kids were there?

Robbie says he thinks he has some homework to do and leaves the room. The kids thank Sportacus and say they learned something new - Open your books, turn around, STAND UP AND DANCE! They perform Bing Bang. During the song, Milford nods his head, hinting that NOW he hears everything. Robbie attempts the experiment in his lair, saying that it will work this time and it fails.

He says 'Maybe not.' and he didn't open any books, turn them around, lean forward (he leaned backwards!) and went to sleep. He'll feel that when he wakes up!

10/10 - This episode was so exciting and intense and it almost made me want to go to school.

Book Review: Mr. Lemoncello's Very First Game

And also my very first post on tumblr. This is the 6th (and final?—I hope not) book in Chris Grabenstein's Mr. Lemoncello's Library series, but this one is a prequel. It's the origin story of how a young Luigi Lemoncello gained his moxie and began his journey to becoming the gazillionaire mirthmaker readers got to know over the first 5 books in the series.

In this book, we meet Luigi and his huge family. Luigi is the 6th child in a family of 10 siblings. With so many people around, he escapes to find peace at the local public library and later on at a summer carnival where he meets Professor Marvelmous, a showy carnival barker who becomes somewhat of a mentor to young Luigi.

Luigi's talent for creating games and solving puzzles had already been honed by the time we meet him in this book, but the wacky Wonka-esque personality isn't there yet. He's shy and somewhat reserved. He takes risks, but his pluckiness is easily snuffed out by bullies from rich families—the ringleader being Chadwick Chiltington of the infamous Chiltington family readers of this series have already come to know and loathe.

Through the encouragement of his parents, the mentorship of Professor Marvelmous, and the friendship of his close friends—the three musketeers plus Maggie, Professor Marvelmous's niece—Luigi begins to overcome his obstacles and starts to tackle life with a whimsical unfailing attitude and begins his path to success.

No Way Home - Jody Feldman

Tess Alessandro is living a dream: she was selected for an incredible summer exchange program in Rome, where she'll take in the beautiful sights and sounds and tastes of Italy. Her Italian counterpart, Sofia, will stay with Tess's family while she's away. Sure, her host parents barely speak English, but they seem cool enough. Until one night, when Tess discovers them on a video chat with their daughter, who is brandishing a knife over Tess's sleeping parents. They tell Tess she needs to do exactly as they tell her, or her parents will die. Without her passport, credit cards or phone, Tess is forced to commit a series of crimes that add up to a shocking plan...and unless she finds a way to outwit these criminals, she—and her parents—will end up dead.

* Kacey Musgraves' romance with Dr. Gerald Onuoha is giving her butterflies -- the pair are so happy they found each other and while Kacey, who split from her husband Ruston Kelly last summer, is trying not to get too ahead of herself, her connection to the Nashville-based doc is off the charts and it's got the potential to go a very long way

* Britney Spears is setting the record straight -- despite her ongoing conservatorship battle with her dad, Jamie Spears, she is doing totally fine, assuring fans that she's extremely happy and she has a beautiful home, beautiful children and she's taking a break right now because she's enjoying herself -- although the legal drama with her father is heating up, Britney is staying strong and she has this wonderful ability to see the positive even when the odds are against her

Page 36: Moms Tell All -- Happy Mother's Day! From milestones and manners to rules and nanny-bans, celebs and insiders talk about raising kids in Hollywood

Page 37: Bindi Irwin says life at home with her daughter Grace Warrior has been positively blissful and her family with dad Chandler Powell is so full of love, adding that the newborn has already met some of the wildlife at the Australia Zoo where Bindi and Chandler live and work and of course she's seen some crocs and really lit up when she saw them -- while the Aussie conservationist is sad Grace won't get to meet her late dad Steve Irwin, Bindi's brother Robert Irwin and mom Terri Irwin have been by her side constantly and Robert is obsessed with Grace and has been helping out so much and her mom has been the biggest guiding light and she's already taught Bindi so much about being a mother, both in how she raised her and by showing her things day by day and Terri is quite the baby whisperer and she's so great a calming Grace down when she's crying -- first-time father Chandler is also a natural with Grace and he's been the most supportive and involved dad and together, he and Bindi make such a great team -- for now, Bindi, who stars with Chandler in Crikey! It's a Baby!, is hoping Grace will follow in her animal-activist footsteps, saying having three generations of strong women working as conservationists is a dream come true

* Jennifer Garner said teaching your kids is a lifelong job, and certainly values are something you have to show them -- Jennifer, who shares kids Violet, Seraphina and Samuel with ex Ben Affleck, is staying true to her word and has led by example when it comes to things like kindness and patience and she won't let anyone in the house to judge or speak ill of people, and she enforces the same wholesome, traditional values that she was raised with and the kids have been taught to be loving, hardworking and fair -- Jennifer has always taken a kids-come-first approach to parenting, and it shows as they bake together, enjoy movie nights, read books and have very active lives and it's a very healthy, happy household filled with laughter and love

Page 38: Gwen Stefani has her hands full with her sons Kingston, Zuma and Apollo with ex-husband Gavin Rossdale, but she wouldn't want it any other way -- Gwen's a tomboy, so having three boys wasn't daunting for her at all, plus she has fiance Blake Shelton by her side to pitch in with parenting duties and Gwen and the boys have a blast at Blake's ranch in Oklahoma where they enjoy riding their ATVs, and they play baseball and football -- it's not all fun and games, though because Gwen is big on boundaries and manners and she doesn't want to raise Hollywood brats and it's important to her that her sons be gentlemen

* Meghan Markle's pregnancy with Archie was no walk in the park, as she revealed during her bombshell TV interview with husband Prince Harry, the couple had concerns over whether or not the royal family would provide security for their son and claimed there were conversations about his skin color -- but this time around, as Meghan and Harry gear up for baby No. 2 at home in L.A., she's doing everything her way, without the royals and Meghan and Harry feel blessed that they're able to raise their daughter in the U.S. and can live by their own rules and make the decisions they feel are best for their children; having independence is the most important thing for Meghan and she's got free rein to be exactly the kind of mom she wants to be -- her parenting style is really like most mothers out there, and she's been craving pasta and doing yoga two times a day as her due date nears and she keeps a lot of art supplies out to foster creativity and healthy snacks around and she's a devoted mom and wants the best for her kids

Page 39: Kate Hudson has a lot on her plate, so the mom of three, who shares son Ryder with former husband Chris Robinson and son Bingham with ex Matt Bellamy and daughter Rani with boyfriend Danny Fujikawa, knows when to put her foot down as things can get a little overwhelming at times for Kate, but when she says no, it absolutely means no, and the kids respect her very much because of that

* Gigi Hadid, who shares daughter Khai with boyfriend Zayn Malik, wants to spend every waking moment with her precious little girl -- Gigi could easily afford to employ a team of nannies but chooses not to and she prefers to do everything herself and besides, she can't bear to be away from Khai for more than a few hours

* Candace Cameron Bure's three grown kids are flying the coop, but she's still super involved in their lives, despite slowly becoming an empty nester -- the mom of Natasha, Lev, and Maksim with former hockey player Valeri Bure says it's been a very transitional time and she's been trying to help them make decisions they feel good about and it's challenging, but they're figuring it out

Page 40: Oh, Baby! Meghan Markle's due date is just around the corner, and here are all the details

* Bump Brigade -- Halsey, Gal Gadot, Shawn Johnson East

Page 42: 10 Years of the Cambridges -- a look back at Prince William and Duchess Kate Middleton's solid marriage for their anniversary

Page 44: Jennifer Lopez and Alex Rodriguez: What Really Happened -- cheating and lies? The truth behind J.Lo's split from fiance A-Rod

New Superhero II! This is where the fun begins. I cannot wait to watch this episode, it's a complete and super masterpiece!!

The episode begins with an Australian-exclusive title card featuring the LazyTown logo, the DVD title logo, and Part Two in orange.

Robbie is in his lair, making a big speech about his plan to.. nobody. Why does he always actively do this when nobody is listening? Robbie says that if Sportacus wants trouble, he'll get trouble with four legs, a tail and big teeth. The robodog will attack when anybody at all says 'Trouble'. Yes, anyone, even Robbie. Robbie starts crafting it, and it looks exactly like the plan.

For the laziest dude in town, must've taken him a lot of time to get the materials for the robodog, hmm? Anyways, it works as it's supposed to, and Robbie has so much fun flipping the switch he sings the song 'Woof Woof Woof'. A pretty funny song. Meanwhile, Sportacus is wearing headphones and is (forced to be) listening to Trixie's Mix which is bass and drums and bass. It's not really Sportacus' style, but I thought it was pretty good! Never knew she had musical 'talent'!!!

Robbie has a Sportacus cutboard cutout and he puts his face in it and tempts the dog. LOL. So he brings it up into town. Meanwhile, Sportastephanie shows the kids her outfit, and Trixie says it's good.. NOT! Why was this an insult in the 2000s..? This is so out of character for a kids show. Then comes one of the most epic lines from Stephanie.

While Stephanie is deciding who to save first, Milford is cleaning his house with a feather duster and he sneezes, causing it to fall out the window. She dives into the bushes and saves the so-called cat.

So, her friends are being complete jerks, laughing but she shrugs it off. Me personally, I'd do a huge frontflip and purposefully kick them in the face. Meanwhile, Sportacus is reading some Latabæ comics with Jive on the cover and decides to put on his headphones. Now playing - some actual fricking good workout music to accidentally tempt Sporty. Here comes a funny sequence where he does sit-ups. Robbie is looking for him behind the wall and bobs up every time Robbie looks away. XD!

PAL screencaps, LOL! -chuft. Gosh darn blended frames. So anyways, the kids are chatting and Trixie says that she has a feeling not much'll happen today, so Stephanie won't have to do any REAL saving. In comes Robbie asking where Sportakook is.

Sportacook'd be a great nickname for a LazyTown cooking show (which SHOULD have happened in 2014-15..). Anyways, when the kids tell him Sportacus is on vacation, he says there is never a super hero when you need one. Then Stephanie introduces herself and Robbie starts bursting into laughter.

Her friends who had just acted like complete jerks to her start wondering what's so funny and why he's funny. Stephanie says he is taking over for Sportacus just in case there is any trouble. (She points her finger up and Robbie mocks her, which genuinely made me laugh out loud.) Then the Robo Dog attacks, and like a true hero.. she runs away.

Robbie likes the outcome of the robo dog so much he decides to get an ice-cream. He wants to get a DOUBLE scoop, but the dog looks at him. He says the sentence, 'I said double, not trouble!' which could be a possible reference to season two, episode four, 'Double Trouble'. So anyways the dog attacks, Robbie runs past Sportacus who has done 1000 sit-ups and is going to go back to relaxing.

Robbie is running back to the lair, trying to get back in, but instead he climbs up the billboard (the robo-dog nearly bit his posterior multiple times, XD) but is too scared to come down. Stingy says they're really in trouble and the dog starts barking. SOMEHOW Stephanie realizes that dog goes cuckoo because of the T-word. So they climb in the treehouse.

Stingy sounds like a girl when he squeals. He must sound extra extra girly in the British dub. Stephanie decides to do something about it, but once the dog approaches her she starts squealing and running. Meanwhile, Robbie realizes he is stuck on the billboard and he starts talking to himself about how birds'll build nests in his hair and he'll be called the Billboard Guy. (Is it true that people of Robbie's age talk to themselves this much?) Sportacus hears Robbie's cries of help.

Sportacus decides to end the vacation early and check the trouble out. I think it is ridiculous he finds out about the trouble ten minutes after the kids all start yelling. He puts the crystal back in, and he almost says the T-word. Stephanie smacks him on the mouth, which I thought was funny.

So, she fills him in and they jump on the wall, cartwheeling (might've been JRM) and flipping (that wasn't JRM) over to the treehouse. Sportacus puts up the ladder so Stephanie walks on her hands to the treehouse to save the kids.

Sportacus goes to save Robbie. Meanwhile, Stephanie hooks the rope in the treehouse (this is ridiculous plot armor, the rope was never even there!) to her back and she goes down. Trixie lowers her down. Sportacus saves Robbie by running, dropping the ladder and doing a flip in the air.

So he tries to save him but when he holds out his hand he thinks that HE IS TRYING TO HIT HIM until Sporty picks him up. Sportacus tells him to slide down the ladder (which could go wrong in so much ways) Then he sits back down thinking it's a trick. So then he puts his hand out.. and grabs onto Sportacus' leg.

So Sportacus decides to pick up Robbie and throw him down the ladder. When he is finished sliding, he yells out 'Mommy!'. It's always funny to see grown men acting like babies.

Meanwhile, at the treehouse, Trixie has pulled Stephanie down and she is face to face with the Robo Dog. Sportacus' crystal beeps and he calls for a football. He throws the ball in the dog's mouth and Stephanie flips the switch.

Sportacus yells to Stephanie he'll be right there, but he won't because Robbie has took away the ladder so he can't get off the billboard. Robbie just tried to get Sportacus hurt after he got saved by him and Tumblr fans still ship the two. So Stephanie deliberately throws the ball at Robbie's head and knocks him out. This is the first time I've seen Stephanie hurt someone on purpose! (Maybe she wanted it to hit the ladder..?)

So the kids that were doubting here are congratulating her and complimenting her, but she thanks Sportacus (who gives her his football) first. She apologizes for ruining his vacation and he says that saving people is the best vacation ever, which doesn't really make sense.

Anyways, Stephanie jokingly says she needs a vacation, and they sing an extended version of Bing Bang. The episode ends with a minute worth of pre-credit endings from Sporty, Stephanie and Robbie. Robbie's dragging the Robo Dog to his lair, and he says that it's nothing but trouble.. and he activates it by doing so.

Stephanie writes in her diary before going to bed, Sportacus does some pushups and flips in his bed, and Robbie goes to bed.. in the dog house. Why did he even have it? The episode ends.

That episode was totally awesome. 10/10. Nothing more said.
