Simpsons still from Season 5 Ep 11, "Homer the Vigilante" Homer is dressed in a silly outfit (in his case, safari khakis and a bucket hat, not a stupid red beret), sitting in front of a talk show backdrop, glibly addressing Kent Brockman's question about the rise of heavy sack-beatings in Springfield. Caption: Oh, Kent, I'd be lying if I said my men weren't committing crimes.

Yes, I was eating over my book. But really, when you think about it, this is my kids' fault.
A photo of a page from "The Way of Kings" by Brandon Sanderson. There is a substantial smudge of reddish sauce (Marinara? Chili? Curry? I'm not telling) on the bottom half.

A paragraph from "Victory City" (Rushdie, 2023): A runner arrived in the city, at death's door after running one hundred miles from the Talikota battlefield, and lived just long enough to give news of the defeat. After that the city was plunged into chaos. The army of the Four Sultanates was on its way and the army of Bisnaga had fled, hundreds of thousands of warriors dispersing pell-mell into the immensity of the countryside. Only the seven circles of walls remained to shield the city from the horde now descending upon them. But the soldiers on the walls had lost their nerve and they were fleeing too, and people understood for the first time that no wall would save them if there were not human beings upon it; that in the end the salvation of human beings came from other human beings and not from things, no matter how large and imposing -- and even magical -- those things might be.

The janitor bunny is redolent of Roger Wilco
An old timey video game cover for "Space Quest IV." The subheading is "Roger Wilco and The Time Rippers". The brand is "Sierra". The box art features the protagonist, a white male with wavy blonde hair wearing a retro-future jumpsuit. He has a boot on the face of a weird-looking bald man with green skin, and is yanking on a plunger that is suctioned on to the bald man's face, with the accompanying onomotopaea "shllupup".

The average American has three friends.
Jonah Ray Rodrigues (as Jonah Heston), standing on a deliberately cheap-looking Space Ship set, wearing a yellow jumpsuit. He is flanked by a gold automaton made from indoor athletic gear (Crow T Robot) and a red gumball machine with slinky arms (Tom Servo)
