"Fish swims in circles, Alphonse eats potato chips.... Critics complain that Alphonse and Fish aren't as creative as they used to be. Alphonse bites the critics. The critics try to escape from Alphonse...."

The scene: A foggy, moonlit night. A desolate and rundown trainyard. The camera makes its way down the track towards a dark, forbodding tunnel.

"I warned them. Over and over, I warned them. But the Fat Comptroller wouldn't listen. The rails could not contain him forever..."

A pair of glowing, hellish eyes appear in the darkness.

Here's an image of a cow. Just sitting there. Doing nothing. Maybe it's standing. Do cows sit or stand? Well, to get delve into this we first have to distinguish-

"Principal Gooding?"
"Yes?" He was smoking a cigar with his shoes on the table.
"Me, Miss Yoon, and Mr. Crabtree are proposing something. We're going to split from this school and make our own school."
Principal Gooding spat out alcohol spilling his desk.
"You're seceding?! Ain't our school good enough?"
"We don't get to teach anything good it's always standardized testing."
"What's the point?"
"A small school. Small schools for about 400 students. Students work better in small schools since they're more likely to know each other as friends in class and as a community in school like neighbors. Teachers can teach what they need and what they want. And we will recruit talented teachers with classes focused on prepping students for the 21st century economy. It will be student centered. Events and parents involved as volunteers and teachers that care."
"YOU GUYS ARE SPLITTING INTO A PILOT SCHOOL?!!"

Solemn piano music can be heard playing in the background.

"Why, oh why, oh why, Alastair?
You've brought your own kingdom such great despair.
While you drank, werfed, and meddled with vice
Your patriotic people had to pay the price.

Alastair Laertes, object of love,
Blessed by His mercy and grace from above.
Sworn to protect his people come what may,
But his kingdom's principles he did betray.

Look up, Fardelshufflestein, do not despair,
For there is still hope within Alastair.
Once he relents and changes his ways,
He will truly earn his rightful place."

"Welcome back the The Daily Chat with H. Jon Benjamin. Our guest today is an interdimensional portal that spews out molten lava and small-caliber bullets. It was here this morning when we got on the set, and it hasn't gone away yet, so we're just going to pretend like this is normal. How are you today, portal?" The portal shoots bullets "Good to hear. Later on, we'll try throwing things through the portal to see what happens, so stay tuned."

"How to make good nachos," Chef Alton Jake reveals, "...is all you need is great quality tortilla chips. Don't buy the cheap knock off ones from the bad grocery store. Make them yourself! You need carne asada, guacamole, sour cream, cilantro, onions, some sliced purple cabbage, red sauce, special cheese, refried beans, and diced tomatoes. Jalapeños are optional..."

(Scene is obviously an online classroom. A woman mutes the audio of every other participant and expands her camera to the entire screen.)

"Hello class, welcome back to school, I'm Mrs. Jones, your civics teacher! We're going to have a fun year, and even though we won't be able to meet in person we're going to have a fun time together learning about what makes our country great!"

"I hope all of you have had the chance to read the course syllabus that was already posted on www dot burr-ms dot k12 dot dist dot state dot example, isn't that a mouthful? Because unlike previous years, we're going to have fun by playing an online game I know you'll all enjoy, called NationStates!"

(Computer "ping!" sound is heard.)

"A question already! I'm so excited to have such an engaged class! Go ahead," Mrs Jones looks away at a sheet of paper with student names on them, "Jacob?"

A very nervous kid named Jacob starts speaking.

"Uh, Mrs. Jones? I—I'm already banned from NationStates because over the summer I put multiple nations into the WA and kept doing it!"

Briefly, everyone is seen on screen. The other students can be seen—but not heard—laughing, and our Mrs. Jones expands her own screen again and clears her throat.

"Well, then, young man, you'll have to do the alternate assignment; a fifteen-page term-length paper and an audio-visual PowerPoint Presentation you'll have to give to the class, on judicial review of domestic farm policy!"
