    Go to the dresser and get out your slingshot. They're VIPER agents. That should be sufficient force to drive them away.

    That's the bait of choice if you want a great angling fight and a chance to land a big bunch of bacon from your boat. Just make sure your knots are well tied, you have a sharp, strong thin-wire hook, and maintain pressure on the catch while keeping the rod pointed well below horizontal so the bending strain is near the midpoint of the rod (or even further back) rather than near the tip.

    Turns out if was made to accompany WB's sitcom-style Looney Tunes Show, which features Bugs and Daffy as housemates in suburban LA (well, actually Bugs is a successful entrepreneur and Daffy is an incompetent freeloader who, like so many sitcom freeloaders, justifies it by saying his next scheme will make him rich).

    By some "coincidence", the family that just moved in next door to the Parrs is headed by pair of anti-supers crusaders whose children have superpowers themselves (that they keep secret from their parents). Making it really awkward when the oldest son develops a crush on Violet.
