    I wish Indiana was as beautiful as the location of Ron's speech to the rangers...

    I find it oddly fitting that the people who made this forgot Jerry's first scene, and only included his last. Still getting disrespected, even outside of the show.

    Always surprised me to find out that after all of this time, Ron Swanson doesn't know the most basic thing about paddling a canoe. The J stroke. I was shattered then, and don't want to be reminded.

    Wait wasn't Andy's first scene when Ann came home from the public forum and is being interviewed and Andy says can you do that outside I'm trying to watch TV? I'm a bit iffy on the details and timeliness of the first episode lol
