    This may be Shauna’s finest hour—or at least finest strip.

    A “skip” is what we in America would call a dumpster. A “pram” is a baby carriage. Blossom is calling Shauna trash who is likely to become a teenage mother.

    The boy Blossom took off Shauna in second year was Corky. At the end of “The Case of the Lonely One”, Blossom convinced him that Shauna only wanted him to sit with them so they could make fun of him.

    We never met Jane Wibberly, EROTIC AUSTRALIAN.

    The Kobayashi Maru is a no-win scenario that Starfleet Academy puts cadets through as method of judging their character. Kirk famously beat the Kobayashi Maru scenario by cheating — he reprogrammed the simulator to allow him to win, justifying this by saying that he doesn’t believe in no-win scenarios. Shauna has wriggled out of Blossom’s no-win scenario by preemptively acknowledging everything that Blossom could possibly use as ammunition against her.

    Wow, a student all the way from Australia wound up living in Tackleford! Everyone must have considered her exotic and erotic!

    Girls must have to wear neckties in English schools. They’ve been doing that all along, but it just occurred to me.

    “Watertight stuff.” Indeed. Shauna: 1 Blossom: 0 The MoMA tote bag is icing on the cake.

    The bull seems to be on a rampage, but Shauna has lawyered up, and let the air out of that hot air balloon. Or has she turned up the heat and waved the red cape?

    Taking ownership and expressing pride in things like Blossom wanted to accuse her of is the verbose mode of “so what?” It’s also more eloquent.

    It would be fantastic if their rivalry continued with more and more discussions but without a winner or violence between the them. A brain challenge between two geniuses.
