Boblin Week Day 5: Old/Memory

We’ve already reached the last day of @boblinweek, and my, what a journey it has been!! I want to thank @babsvibes and @jimmypesto for making this week possible (again), and it was an absolute joy participating for the second year in a row!! :D

The idea for this piece came about because of the episode Mother Author Laser Pointer, and how Bob said when she’s older, Linda might be able to read Snail & Newt to her future grandchild. So, I decided to depict exactly that!! You can decide who’s adorable bean of a child this is, I purposefully tried to leave it up to interpretation.

[ID]: Digital fanart of an older Linda Belcher, Bob Belcher, and their future grandson. Linda is lying on a bed with a dark blue mattress with her future grandson, and now has completely gray hair and some wrinkles. She does, however, still have her large red glasses. She’s also wearing her usual red shirt. She’s reading a Snail & Newt book to him with a large grin on her face. Her grandson has similar blue eyes to her and is lying happily next to her with a pink shirt, yellow pants, and black socks. An older Bob is standing at the doorway with a small grin on his face, his hair and bushy mustache now completely gray. He’s wearing his usual gray shirt, black pants, and black shoes.

This post was long overdue! I can’t believe I haven’t done this sooner, but here’s part two of the very first post I made on this lovely site, random Bob’s Burgers facts that no one asked for but I’m sharing/reminding everyone of because I can:

—Apparently, when Gene was a toddler, Bob had to watch him, and he somehow managed to eat a fern under Bob’s watch. Where did this fern come from? Who knows?  ¯\_ (ツ)_/¯  Bob was very worried and thought Gene would die or get really sick, but he was fine. Gene has an iron stomach for real. This tidbit is as mentioned in Season 3, Episode 15, O.T. The Outside Toilet.

—Gene is the only Belcher with visible ears, and they’re adorable 🥰 I still don’t know how Bob’s hair manages to completely cover his, but it does.

—Real life fact, but 9/3 is not only Bob and Linda’s anniversary, but also Loren Bouchard and his wife’s anniversary! That’s where he got the date from. How adorable.

—Linda’s birthday is June 3, making her a Gemini. Tina’s birthday is March 30, making her an Aries. Gene is a Sagittarius, making his birthday sometime in either late November or December. I like to say his birthday is December 19, because that’s one of my friend’s birthdays :3

—Linda’s high school was called Cardinal Genarro High School, and one time, there was a pumpkin carving contest. Linda didn’t want Gayle to feel bad for losing to Linda’s amazing pumpkin, so she tried smashing her own pumpkin. Gayle followed her, though, and because of a series of events, they ended up destroying the entire table, which they swore to keep secret until well into adulthood (Season 12, Episode 3, The Pumpkinening).

—Linda’s hometown is a made-up town called Hunkawtaway.

—Linda once had Jury Duty on St. Patrick’s Day and wore a green blazer to court.

—Tina’s favorite flowers are Gardenias, as revealed in Season 5, Episode 11, Can’t Buy Me Math.

—Tina owns cat pajamas as seen in Season 4, Episode 9, Slumber Party, and that’s very important to me.

—Gene has brown eyes, which he most likely inherited from Bob. In the comics, Tina’s eye color is revealed to be blue, which she might have inherited from Linda.

—According to Gene in Season 11, Episode 2, Worms of In-Rear-Ment, Louise has always wanted to see Machu Pichu.

—Louise has apparently seen “Game of Thrones”. I wonder what she thought of it. Funnily enough, in the Season 4 Wharf Horse two-part season finale, Bob mourned the fact that he’d never find out how the show ended.

—As seen in Season 11, Episode 14, Mr. Lonely Farts, Gene normally hates being alone and thrives off the energy of other people. My poor boy had a whole panic attack when he was accidentally left home alone. However, he ends up using the opportunity to do a rave in Louise’s room with all of her toys, which she usually tells him not to do. It’s also revealed in that episode that Linda has a secret cracker stash, which he infiltrates.

—According to Season 13, Episode 18, Gift Card or Buy Trying, Gene might not like himself a whole lot. He rants about his former friend, Mitchell, saying that he’s loud, can’t really play music, and has no idea how annoying he is, and then comes to a realization, saying they’re exactly the same, so those things might be how he views himself.

—In Season 13, Episode 21, Mother Author Laser Pointer, it’s shown that Bob and Linda used to read Snail & Newt books to the kids when they were young, which is based off the real life Frog & Toad series. It’s so sweet they did this T_T

—Teddy’s favorite color is yellow! Mine is too :D This was revealed in Season 4, Episode 16, I Get Psy-Chic Out of You.

—Teddy’s full name might be Theodore J. McGillicuddy.

—Jimmy Pesto called Jimmy Jr. “Pepper” as a nickname in Season 1, Episode 10, Burger War, a nickname that’s not been repeated since.

—According to Season 3, Episode 20, The Kids Run the Restaurant, Mr. Fischoeder was married for a week. He had a real Grunkle Stan moment.

—As seen in Season 9, Episode 19, Long Time Listener, First Time Bob, Bob loved listening to a radio station with a DJ named Clem when he and Linda first started getting the restaurant off the ground. I think Bob listening to the radio at night and jamming out is very endearing. The same episode also revealed Bob’s hatred for Sweet Potato Fries.

—In Season 9, Episode 16, Roamin’ Bob-Iday, it’s revealed Bob occasionally succumbs to severe burnout from working at the restaurant, but despite that, cooking will always be his favorite thing to do.

—As revealed in Season 7, Episode 7, The Last Gingerbread House on the Left, Bob used to build gingerbread houses with his late mother, Lily. In the same episode, he made mini gingerbread versions of his family, which is the cutest thing ever. He’s the best dad for real.

Bob’s Burgers (s13e21) - Mother Author Laser Pointer

[dreamboundedstar]

Mother Author Laser Pointer Spoilers:

So Tina mentions that it's 4 years till she graduates and she's of college age. So this reveal means one of two things. Tina is officially 14 (unlikely) or Tina's bday doesn't fall on a month before May (more likely). So in short, My birthday headcanon of Tina being a March 7th Pisces is dead. XD I now have a good enough reason to change my headcanon for Tina's birthday to September 25th. She's now a Virgo-Libra cusp sign. Quite fitting and amusing at the same time for her to be the cusp of beauty X3. Also, it's Dan Mintz's birthday, which is another reason for the change.

Finished watching Season 13 for my "Bob's Burgers" episode ranking rewatch and finally found another episode that I rate as a 2: "Mother Author Laser Pointer".

The only other episode I've given a 2 was "Moody Foodie". So, if you're wondering what a "Bob's Burgers" episode must do for me to not want to watch it again, the answer is apparently "have a plot where the Belchers hold someone hostage."

Bob's Burgers: Mother Author Laser Pointer (13x21)

This was such a cute episode!

Cons:

Honestly, I can't think of much of anything. Maybe I wish we'd seen the kids' school friends? We spent time at the school, but Mr. Frond was the only character we really interacted with. That's just a little thing, though.

Pros:

Starting with Linda's plot, I loved that when it ended, the author didn't soften towards Linda and suddenly realize how much her books meant to people. That was the ending I was expecting, and I do love it when this show goes for a more sentimental vibe sometimes. But it's also super funny and refreshing to have a plot where Linda behaves way out of line, and in the end, she doesn't exactly win any friends because of it. Her obsession with the author of some of her favorite kid's books makes sense, as thinking about her kids going off to college has suddenly made her contemplate a future where she and Bob are empty nesters. My favorite joke of this one is when Linda reacts with skepticism over the concept of "books for adults". That was hilarious!

And then in the other plot, the kids are gearing up for an assembly all about how cool college is, when they see Mr. Frond in some distress. Turns out, he brought his cat to school against explicit orders, because he needed to give him medicine. Now, his cat has escaped and is up a tree. Louise cleverly offers their help, so that Mr. Frond won't look suspicious on his own outside the school trying to get the cat down, in exchange for "get out of detention free" cards in the future. I kind of hope this show actually picks up that thread later and we get to see Louise exploit the situation for all it's worth.

I also really like it when this show subverts our expectations, so we're presented with the potentially amusing scenario of seeing the college assembly, and instead we get the unlikely team-up of Frond and the kids working together to save a cat. I like Frond caving immediately to doing something unethical in order to avoid getting into trouble, it's pretty telling of his character, I should say... And Gene gets a rare moment of being the one to come up with the solution and save the day, getting the troublesome kitty down from the tree using a laser pointer!

We're right at the end of the season, I hope we get a fun temporary send-off for the Belchers next week!

9/10

Snail and Newt and their various adventures

[jellorat]

Prison Phone Charges Damage Everyone

My wife's family are bikers. They were not orthodontists who decided to buy a Harleys because they watched Sons of Anarchy and decided to waste out $50,000 on the bike and another $10,000 on all the accessories.

My father-in-law hung out with Banditos. As I was taken in as part of the family in my late teens, I got to meet a lot of them. They are surprisingly supportive people, actually. At least to my wife and me.

It should not be any surprise that my father-in-law and my brother-in-law were in and out of jail. It kind of went with the territory.

The first time I got a call from jail, was at the age of 19. It was 4am, and my father-in-law was in jail for being drunk, kicking in the college kids' neighbor's door, and beating a couple of them. They had decided to use a red laser pointer to aim down at my father-in-law's windows causing several Vietnam Veteran bikers to hit the ground in a panic and kept doing it because they thought PTSD was funny. My father-in-law didn't like that and put a stop to it violently.

Back then, I paid somewhere around $20 for one collect call from jail, asking me to please go tell my mother-in-law he was in jail and she'd know what to do. My spouse was at work, so I rode my motorcycle over and let my mother-in-law know, and she fed me a cup of coffee and laughed because she was there when they hauled his drunk ass away.

Over the years, this would continue with my inlaws. $20 collect calls that turned into private prison phone contractors charging me $5 base and $1 per minute. We had to set up accounts to be billed and were not technically allowed to use a cell phone. That last part might have changed since my father-in-law's passing, but we used cell phones anyways.

The predatory nature of these companies is profoundly unsettling.

As the article cites, the companies that get this cash from prisoners and their families are awarded monopoly contracts and give kickbacks for the privilege of those contracts to the prison industrial complex. That is so unethical it makes me want to scream.

But can we look at the real harm? In the pursuit of fleecing prisoners in US prisons, they are isolating those in jail and harming real American families. These people will end up estranged from family, children, and any social net that might make it easier to avoid going back to jail again.

They have studies that show how keeping these community connections help those convicted of crimes reduce recidivism. I'd say it's instrumental in helping people.

My wife and I were the only ones that could afford the exorbitant prison prices to keep a connection with our loved ones. We paid for ourselves and my mother-in-law to keep calling.

But that's not really the point. It's another corporate pursuit that actively hurts people in service of fleecing cold hard cash out of the desperate.

Fuck these companies, and fuck the politicians that let this happen.

The US's entire attitude and process of dealing with law breaking are horrific and chock full of human rights abuses. Don't even get me started on the food issue. This is from a guy who is in his heart mostly a rule follower, and never been in trouble.

Why is it that when Bob held someone hostage in Moody Foodie it was funny, but watching Linda hold someone hostage in this episode is just painful?
