Chapter 17: the chapter that keeps on giving when it comes to in-universe confluences. 

A character is going on his first date, in a Mazda, and confides in a trusted friend beforehand. Is it Noah, spilling his guts to Porquette, or Vince Luca talking to Alex? And which supporting character has higher emotional intelligence? We could, of course, also be talking about Phil Baldwin, but then it wouldn’t be a Mazda. 

If you’re going to fall into a “decorative fountain,” you should at least get a free haircut, chocolate milk, and a group portrait  (frame included) out of the ordeal.  

Maybe if you’re a genius with limited dating skills, you should run your gift ideas past your friends. That way you can avoid giving a desicated bat as a present to the woman you love. Then again, Elmer did check with his friends, and that didn’t stop him from sending an ondatra cephalos skull and the droppings of the Tasmanian Mountain Sparrow to Marylou Beakman. 

The destruction of Noah’s gift is the most tragic rehydration since water leaked into the supply of dehydrated mashed potatoes in the Don Carey High cafeteria. It took hours to shovel our the dining area!
