Snow Day Page #2

Large and in charge, and totally...

..invisible.

l wish it was this easy.

What are you doing? Daydreaming?

- Just catching snowflakes.

- Did they taste good? lt's getting late.

Come on, scoot down.

Tomorrow is a school day.

- Don't rub it in.

- Love you. Sweet dreams.

You're on in two minutes, Mr Sunshine.

Oh... That's not supposed to be there.

That can't be right.

Can it?

Snow! And lots of it, folks.

This one almost caught us by surprise,

but we were right on top of it.

A fast-moving little system

coming down from Canada,

colliding with the warm flow

we've been experiencing...

Snow! !

Last night's record snowfall

grinding the area to a halt...

The following are closed for today:

Titan Tool & Dye,

the Carousel Mall...

..the Health Farm,

Fromlin's Corduroy Shop...

..and finally,

the weekly poker game at my house.

That concludes

the list of closings for today.

No, they can't do this to us.

Oh, and, l forgot one.

All schools are officially closed

for a snow day.

No school, no school, no school!

- Snow day...

- Snow day!

Snow day, snow day, snow day!

Anything can happen, Hal.

Oh, no...

No matter how brave

you thought you were,

just hearing his name could make

you wish you lived in Florida.

Snowploughman!

To adults, he's just a creepy guy with

a plough named ''Darling Clementine'',

but to us he's a snow day assassin.

A man in serious need

of a good flossing.

Legend has it his tyre chains

are made from the braces of kids

who didn't get out of his way.

They say the only thing he loves

is his bird, Trudy.

Run for your lives!

- l really don't like him.

- He's not a fun guy.

He's gotta be stopped.

What do you say, Hal?

This was gonna be the year. The prize,

the legendary "Second Snow Day".

Think of it, Hal. Two in a row.

We've never had two in a row before.

Sorry, but there's something l gotta do.

- Claire Bonner. Who's she?

- Just this girl. You don't know her.

Wait a second. You're gonna waste

a snow day on some girl?

Look. Tomorrow everything

goes back to normal,

and l'll be one of a million guys wishing

Claire Bonner was their girlfriend.

But today, maybe l can change that.

- But we're a team.

- And we always will be.

- But l gotta go solo today, all right?

- That's okay. l don't need you anyway.

- There's no way l can stay home.

- lt's not about giving you a break.

Okay, that's a good idea.

We'll leave Randy here by himself.

Briefcase, check.

Commuter mug, check.

Lucky Troll doll, check.

Look out, Asian carbonated beverage

market. Here comes trouble.

Don't worry, Mum.

There'll be other work days.

Mum may have lost a chance

to swim with the sharks,

but at least

she gained a little quality time.

Okay, clean Mummy's clothes. Okay.

As for me...l stood on the threshold

of a brave new world.

Winter Wonderland, my butt...

- Hey, beautiful day, isn't it?

- Give me a break!

"Neither rain nor sleet nor..."

What's the last one, Mr Hebert?

Everybody makes fun of the mailman.

Oh, great. That's just great.

Well, at least

l can see the outline of my car.

My own little blue car.

Today is really, really...shaping up.

(SlNGLE WHlSTLE)

(WHlSTLE)

lf you kids think...

..because l'm not...

You kids wanna play rough?

l invented rough!

Must muster the courage of

1 0 principals. Must get home.

Now!

No, no, no!

- You've got the reflexes of a dead cow.

- Oh, yeah?

lt would seem that it is l who has

the oxygen depriving sleeper hold.

l wonder if in Hawaii instead of

snow days they have lava days.

- ln LA they get off on bad hair days.

- l heard that, too.

Hey, you know...

The problem is, you can never

make a perfect snow angel.

There's always gonna be

that handprint when you climb out.

Come here.

- Not always.

- lt's perfect.

lt sure is.

Come on.

You know what we can do today?

Start an avalanche.

- l've got a bracelet to return.

- No, no.

Lane, this snow day has given me

a second chance with Claire.

What do you think she's gonna do? Hug

you, lick your ear and call you "Bunky" ?

Maybe you don't believe in

true love, but l do.

ls that what you think it is?

Man, you're dumb!

Love isn't about fate

and magic bracelets and destiny.

lt's about finding someone you

can stand to be around for 1 0 minutes.

- You're a real romantic.

- This is gonna end in flames.

Come on, Lane, have a little faith.

lt is a snow day.

What do you think you're doing?

Chet's trying to break his all-time

record. Oh, man. You blew it!

- l told you to lay down the rug.

- We will.

l thought

this was supposed to be a day off.

Wayne, l'd be careful about

eating too much of that stuff.

With all those layers, if you had to go

to the bathroom, it could be close.

All right, you brought Meltar!

Where's his faithful sidekick Fangor?

Chasing some girl. Don't even ask.

So, what's our quest today?

You know what Meltar says,

"Listen to the wind!"

That's not the wind!

Snowploughman.

Come on! Move it!

l don't know about this.

Couldn't we just make a snowman?

No way. This is the year

Hal and l said we'd take him down.

- Hal's not here so...

- Snowball. Now.

What do you need? Standard

"Slushball" , always dependable.

The ever-popular "Moonball". The last

thing he sees is you mooning him.

l've got the jelly-filled "Snownut".

And this one...speaks for itself.

- Give me the "Snownut".

- Oh, man. l gotta whiz!

(SCREAMlNG )

- lt's now or never.

- l'll go with now!

Run!

Put some oomph into it, Wayno!

No, don't leave me here!

l don't wanna die with my pants down!

lf you can't hunt with the big dogs, you

better sit on the porch with the pups!

Come on, guys! Help!

Come on, Chet, go!

Oh, man! Oh, man! Oh, man!

The office is closed down,

and you make me come to work.

l had to walk the whole way!

Look at my toes.

- They're frozen, like ''Tater-Tots''.

- Nona, what was l supposed to do?

l'm completely snowed-in here.

Everybody else is taking the day off.

Why can't we?

We have worked too hard and too long

to let a little snow get in the way of 42

percent global market share. lt'll be fun!

First thing l need

is the quarterly earnings report.

The first thing you need

is a stun gun for your kid.

l'll call you back.

Randy honey, is that any way

to treat your head?

l wanna go outside. Mrs Huffner

lets us go outside at school.

But remember what Mummy said?

When her work is done, we go outside.

Tell me a story.

Okay, okay.

Once upon a time, in a land far,

far away there lived a little prince...

Mrs Huffner tells us the story

about the pokey little puppy.

l see. Well,

Mummy doesn't know that story.

Can Mrs Huffner do this?

Hee-haw! Hee-Haw!

Mrs Huffner brings in a real donkey.

Did Mrs Huffner give you that paint set

you wanted for your birthday?

lt's on Mummy's bed.

Yeah, yeah!

Take that, Mrs Huffner.

- Hey, Principal Weaver.

- Hey, kids.

Enjoying your day off?

l know l sure am.

l'm ...taking...names!

l wonder what people say when they
