Is Bernice even with Piro or is it merely hypothetical? Is Piro even aware? Seems he's more into Tiffany.

Bernice has had a crush on Piro for at least a year now, but she hasn't yet worked up the nerve to ask Dez to give him a note that says "Bernice likes you. Do you like Bernice? Circle one. YES NO"

Luann

Dude's homeless, Bern. I don't think you have to worry about his address or what classes he's taking. As for where he hangs out, the answer is other people's couches and, well, park benches.

Yeah, I just wasn't sure if I'd missed somewhere where she actually, you know, *did* any of that. They cut so randomly between various plotlines it's hard to remember sometimes. Plus it's Luann. I'm not devoting any more memory to it than I absolutely have to.

There's something wonderful about Newspaper Spider-Man immediately worrying about Ronan not being able to breathe with his helmet off when the whole reason he took it of was because Ronan needed it to breathe.

Evil Mastermind: Apr 28, 2008

It will never cease to amaze and infuriate me how easily the men in Chickweed will turn into drooling idiots at the mere suggestion of a woman doing something remotely sexily. I remember multiple guys having to "remain seated" due to the raging boners they got when whats-her-face that's getting married hinted she had a tattoo (probably) on her butt.

But why couldn't people just continue using the archaic irregular "befriend" instead of intuitively creating a new word (actually just using one dating to the 17th century in a new sense) using the clear English grammar that allows this???

Oh, Mary's cruised before. She's been there! She's roadside, man!

Rex Morgan MD

Yeah, she's not coming back to your school.

Secret Agent X-9

I know it's a legit thing to identify a typewriter and use that as evidence, but I do like the idea that the FBI back then had entire departments with groups of men dedicated to one specific thing. Day in and day out all they do is categorize and compare every typewriter manufactured, and compare those records with the huge amount of typewritten evidence that simply must be matched up or the bad guys win.
