    at the mysterious Van That Only Drove at Night!
    SQUIRM!!
    at the revolting practice of “table scoring!”

    (PS: I apologize if I sounded condescending when I defined the word “biweekly” at the end of the episode. The truth is I can never remember if biweekly means occurring once every two weeks or occurring twice a week. I looked it up and it seems both are correct, which is very confusing. Hence the explanation.)
