General clarification on work content, Cleaning up Word Cruft


** Timmy's dad hears [[TheVillainSucksSong "Icky Vicky"]], singing about how evil Vicky is. He comes to the conclusion that it's about pumpkins. [[StrangeMindsThinkAlike Doug Dimmadome comes to the same conclusion.]]
** Timmy's parents (as well as the rest of the world besides Crocker, and even he has his moments) may as well be anthropomorphic personifications of completely missing or ignoring the glaring and obvious magical phenomenon that surrounds Timmy and his fairy godparents. In the episode "Meet the [=OddParents=]", Timmy's parents finally begin to seriously suspect the weird things that keep happening to them, such as when they found a gorilla and a monster playing ping pong in Timmy's bedroom. Of course, Timmy's Dad being Timmy's Dad, the only bizarre thing he finds about that situation is that they have a ping pong table.
