Roger Ruvie walked in surrounded by scantily clad women, avoiding the tussle between Kiyome Takada and what appeared to be Scooby Doo over a pile of pancakes. Naomi Misora was giving seductive glances towards Thomas Jefferson who stood alone in a corner."
- Costume Porn: Parodied (of course): "She was dressed in an outfit most would define as 'skanky' but L seemed incapable of not describing in painful detail.

- Lemony Narrator: The omniscient narrator is very snarky.
