Read: Vol. 1, chs. 11–12; pp. 60–70 (“his alarms were needless” through to “prevented any renewal of it”).

Context

Mr. John Knightley, Mrs. Isabella Knightley, and their five children arrive at Hartfield. Later in the day, Mr. Knightley dines with the party.

John and Isabella must leave Hartfield on the 27th in order to be in London on the 28th (see Modert, p. 57), and their visit is planned to be one of “ten days” (vol. 1, ch. 11; p. 59). The weather is unfavourable for travel on the 26th (“days of confinement”; vol. 1, ch. 17; p. 91), when the party may or may not have been planning to leave; therefore they must have arrived on the 17th or 18th, counting the days of arrival and of departure as among the “ten days” of the visit.

Note that the penultimate section (“Fancy and Whim”) contains spoilers.

Readings and Interpretations

Sister Sister

This section gives us a broader view of the family dynamics that have been hinted at in previous chapters. Joe Bray notes that the description of Isabella Knightley that we are given in this section is one of those “occasions when two characters are compared,” and an instance of “well-regulated antitheses in Austen’s novels” (p. 129):

>the character to whom a newly-introduced character is being compared can be left implicit. Take the first lengthy description of the heroine’s elder sister in Emma: [quotes from “Mrs. John Knightley was a pretty, elegant little woman” to “every old acquaintance,” vol. 1, ch. 11; p. 60].
As Mrs. John Knightley is compared here to Mr. Woodhouse there are some obvious parallels in grammatical structure. […] The main, unstated, point of comparison though is with her younger sister. The narrator’s description of Isabella’s manners as ‘gentle’ and ‘quiet’, and her disposition as ‘remarkably amiable and affectionate’ invites the reader to draw a contrast between her and her sister, as does, more positively for Emma, the characterization of Isabella as ‘not a woman of strong understanding or any quickness’. In each case, the doubling pattern of adjective plus adjective or noun plus noun encourages the comparison between the two sisters, with the balance of the narr

I don't want to step on anybody's toes here, but the amount of non-dad jokes here in this subreddit really annoys me. First of all, dad jokes CAN be NSFW, it clearly says so in the sub rules. Secondly, it doesn't automatically make it a dad joke if it's from a conversation between you and your child. Most importantly, the jokes that your CHILDREN tell YOU are not dad jokes. The point of a dad joke is that it's so cheesy only a dad who's trying to be funny would make such a joke. That's it. They are stupid plays on words, lame puns and so on. There has to be a clever pun or wordplay for it to be considered a dad joke.

Again, to all the fellow dads, I apologise if I'm sounding too harsh. But I just needed to get it off my chest.

Do your worst!

I'm surprised it hasn't decade.

For context I'm a Refuse Driver (Garbage man) & today I was on food waste. After I'd tipped I was checking the wagon for any defects when I spotted a lone pea balanced on the lifts.

I said "hey look, an escaPEA"

No one near me but it didn't half make me laugh for a good hour or so!

Edit: I can't believe how much this has blown up. Thank you everyone I've had a blast reading through the replies 😂

It really does, I swear!

BamBOO!

Pilot on me!!

A quick intro for my experience with Community: I'm from England, and started watching it as background TV in late 2019, before moving to Germany. There was no way for me to continue watching it here, so I asked for the DVD for Christmas, and was given the complete box set with all 6 seasons. Just a few months later the show was added to Netflix, but I am immensely happy that I've got the DVDs. I've since watched the entire show 4 times, and it's my joint favourite TV show of all time (alongside The Inbetweeners, and This Is Us).

My list, along with their place in a tier-ranking system, is below. I have used the DVD running order, and I know in advance that some of my opinions won't go down well here. Apologies in advance.

Season 3 contained my absolute favourite, and absolute worst episode. If you averaged the ranks from each episode, my ranking of seasons goes in the order 2, 3, 1, 5, 6, 4.

Tier 1: Streets Ahead

#1: Remedial Chaos Theory (Episode 52, S3 E3)

Troy and Abed's housewarming party turns into a surreal, post-modern world with parallel realities; each reality showing the effect on the study group of one character's absence from it.

#2: A Fistful of Paintballs (Episode 48, S2 E23)

The Greendale campus celebrate their last day of school with a BBQ picnic. Dean Pelton announces plans for a new game of paintball, which has students forming alliances and friendships being tested. During the game, a mysterious man (Josh Holloway) emerges on campus.

#3: Modern Warfare (Episode 23, S1 E23)

After the Dean announces the prize for a friendly game of paintball, Greendale sinks into a state of all-out paintball war, with every student battling for supremacy. During the chaos, Jeff's study group teams up in order to last longer in the game. Meanwhile, Jeff and Britta finally act on their previously unresolved sexual tension, though the group does not find out.

#4: Conspiracy Theories and Interior Design (Episode 34, S2 E9)

When Dean Pelton begins checking class schedules, he discovers that Jeff has listed a class that doesn't exist. Just when it appears Jeff will be caught in a lie, the mysterious "Professor Professorson" (Kevin Corrigan) emerges from the shadows to confirm that Jeff has been taking his class, "Conspiracy Theories in U.S. History," at night school. When Jeff later admits to Annie that he's never seen Professor Professorson in his life, the two decide to find out who the professor really is. Meanwhile, Abed

Nothing, he was gladiator.

Heard they've been doing some shady business.

Dad jokes are supposed to be jokes you can tell a kid and they will understand it and find it funny.

This sub is mostly just NSFW puns now.

If it needs a NSFW tag it's not a dad joke. There should just be a NSFW puns subreddit for that.

Edit* I'm not replying any longer and turning off notifications but to all those that say "no one cares", there sure are a lot of you arguing about it. Maybe I'm wrong but you people don't need to be rude about it. If you really don't care, don't comment.

When I got home, they were still there.

What did 0 say to 8 ?

" Nice Belt "

So What did 3 say to 8 ?

" Hey, you two stop making out "

I won't be doing that today!

This morning, my 4 year old daughter.

Daughter: I'm hungry

Me: nerves building, smile widening

Me: Hi hungry, I'm dad.

She had no idea what was going on but I finally did it.

Thank you all for listening.

There hasn't been a post all year!
