#too many balloons

[pit-crew-chronicles]

So, when safety tech, scouting mentor and I arrived at our pit this morning, we found this:

Balloons everywhere. Our robot covered in posters and stickers. Cup walls and stacks everywhere.

The culprits?

Team 7404. The Wired Boars.

Upon being asked, they said that when they were blowing up balloons yesterday, this was the plan all along.

Just after the discovery, they had to double queue. That’s when pit crew took charge.

We took a single stack of cups and built this on their work bench. However that was not enough. It took 3 minutes. There were many stacks of cups. 10 minutes later we began the wall.

4-6 teams came throughout construction to lend some help. It stretched completely around the perimeter of the 7407 pit. It was 13 rows tall and towered over many students. One kid from another team jumped over the top chest in the back and made a pentagram in the center. Reminder, this was in the time it took for Choate to double queue and return from their match.

Upon return, they discovered our masterpiece. They were shocked and laughing.

Later we found about 20 posters in our t-stack drawers. Not sure how many are left.

Any ideas for the next round?

Happy Birthday! Free space if this gets in on time, but either way birthday wishes and thank you so much for all your writings. They're really good and such a bright spot in my day.

Carlton is having a good day up until he sees what’s clearly a civilian’s motorcycle parked in one of the reserved spots. If the state of disrepair didn’t make it obvious, the ACAB bumper sticker stuck on the back certainly did. Oh, he was going to give this asshole the biggest fine he could, and get his bike towed for good measure! The good people of the SBPD are working hard everyday to keep the streets safe and this guy wants to make a mockery of that right in front of them? What a sick bastard.

He stalks inside, face set into a scowl. “McNab!” he shouts, startling the officer who turns from whoever he���d been talking to. “Who the hell’s bike is that out front?”

He looks at him, wide eyed, but then a kid in a leather jacket is stepping out from behind him and clapping him on the shoulder. He’s got on faded jeans, brown boots, and a dark blue henley. He’s a couple days off from a decent shave and Carlton’s not at all surprised when he says, “It’s mine. Sweet ride, right?”

“You can’t park there,” he snaps. “I’m writing you a ticket – McNab, write him a ticket! Now!”

“Uh,” McNab looks between them uncertainly. “But he, you know, um. He can park there, Detective.”

Carlton snarls, “Why the hell do you think that?”

“It’s okay, Buzz,” the kid says, stepping forward and offering his hand to Carlton with a smirk that has him itching for his cuffs. “I’m Shawn Spencer.”

“I don’t care who you are,” he says. “Only police personnel can park in that area.”

Spencer’s grin gets a little wider. 

McNab is honest to god wringing his hands. “Um, Detective, he is. Police personnel, I mean. He’s the new head of Internal Affairs.”

Carlton stares. This has to be some sort of practical joke. “Are you even old enough to have gone through the academy?”

“My youthful appearance is due to my intense moisturizing routine, a zest for life, and my good humor,” he says. “Laughter really is the best medicine.”

“You’re out of dress code,” he says, because most of him is still refusing to believe that this is happening.

“I’ll write myself up for it later,” Spencer says, which is ridiculous, because that’s not an IA issue, it’s an HR one. Which as the head of Internal Affairs, he should know.

He opens his mouth, but whatever he was going to say is interrupted by Chief Vick swooping in, several files held in her hand. “Gentleman. Detective Spencer, my office, now.”

Spencer winks at them. “Buzz. Lassie.”

What the hell did Spencer just call him? Before he’s managed to choke back his outrage, Spencer’s in Chief Vick’s office and McNab is making a hasty retreat.

He stalks over to his desk and Lucinda glances up from her own desk at his approach. She’d left early this morning to go back to her place to shower and change and had been responsible for the good mood he’d been in up until he’d encountered Spencer and his stupid bike. “What happened to you?”

“Nothing,” he says, then, “Did you meet the new internal affairs guy?”

“Shawn? Yeah, he seems nice,” she says, already looking back down at her paperwork.

Nice? Nice?

The day’s just begun and it’s already shot to hell.

[happi-dreams]

Man i wonder what genre of horror i have been fixated on!!! :0

[ovur]

There's such a thing as too much... also who would be cleaning this up? The hotel staff? We couldn't even get on the bed without the balloons touching us ... this would stress me out

[degrees-of-lili]

The rest of the NPCs and I definitely have not forgot anyone at all

[galaxywarp]

I almost hate meteor showers in animal crossing because I cannot resist stopping what im doing every few seconds to wish on the falling stars. I hear a twinkle I react.

Batman and Robin (2009) #23

Canon: Jason Todd reading a copy of Pride and Prejudice prior to a prison yard fight in Blackgate.

This panel is possibly a visual juxtapositional joke, considering he's in the middle of implementing his plan to murder about 82 people in prison.

Austen regency romance vs. prison murder and mayhem.

[I don't know how deep Winick / March intended to take this. Worthy of character analysis? Sure.]

Fanon: "Hold my beer!"

Jason Todd's absolute favorite book is Pride and Prejudice. In fact, he has a whole bookshelf dedicated to various editions. These may be the only books on display in any given safehouse. If he ever gets that Ph.D. in English Literature, he will title his thesis Reflections on Class Structure or Etiquette As a Weapon of Social Warfare as Evidenced in Austen's Pride and Prejudice.

He will name all his future children some variation of Elizabeth Bennett or Fitzwilliam Darcy, said children being the result of a One True Relationship that Fixes Him - which is only possible because he just loves Pride and Prejudice THAT much.

Has he read anything else by Austen? Has he read anything else period? Who knows!

Canon, later: "You know what, Fanon? That's a great idea!" takes a sip of Fanon's stale beer after eleven years

Batman: Wayne Family Adventures #31 "Dirty Little Secret"

Catwoman (2016) #57

Batman: Wayne Family Adventures is outside of main continuity. It has its own canon that draws from a lot of fandom elements. It's almost a conversation in that regard. Catwoman is main comics continuity so Jason is an Austen fan. There it is, in corporate ink.

I just think it would have been funnier if fandom would have made the other iconic "Jason Todd reads books" panel their pride and joy instead.

Red Hood and the Outlaws (2016) #20

The book Jason's reading? Become What You Are by Alan Watts.

"While living, be a dead man, thoroughly dead; / Then whatever you do, just as you will, will be right."

A Buddhist poem, written in China, several centuries ago, tries to find words for an intuition which is common to almost every culture in the world. When translated into the familiar language of the Christian tradition, it is so well-known as to be almost a platitude: "He that loseth his soul shall find it." But what preserves this thought from banality—from the mere tiresomeness of those precepts which everyone knows he ought to observe but doesn't—that this is a saying that no one can observe. For so long as there is something which I can do about it, I am not yet dead; I have not yet completely lost my life.

—excerpt from the essay "Paradox of Self-Denial" in Become What You Are by Alan Watts

Another visual joke! I don't know if the book title was Lobdell's or Soy's idea, but it's really funny.

Fandom, I will hold your second beer if you run with this.
