Re "Agatha Kristy" - it's also reused from Super Mystery 2. It stuck out in my mind because I didn't know who Agatha Christie was at the time.

Mallory immediately moans that they didn’t bring the mystery notebook.
What, does she think that cops can't work on a case unless they have their ~special notebook~ with them? "I'm sorry, Boss, I can't go to that murder scene until someone FedExes my special notebook from Connecticut."

Ahahahaha, I love that feline obedience training lolcat.

Stacey buys a t-shirt that says “Boo” for Claudia
I hope she doctors it and adds "You Whore" underneath, preferably with an arrow that could point to Stacey if Claud stands on the right side of her.

Abby entry about her “bad-luck pumpkin” failing to warn her about the Halloween crime wave.
What was she expecting it to do, run up to her, tug her sleeve and say "Psst, Abby, there's going to be a crime wave"?

the way to address that is not to shame people for liking make-up/high heels/feminine clothes/etc.
THIS. This pisses me off so damn much.

Given that there are people who go to the grand canyon and complain that they sell books that give a non-creationist view of how it was created, I can sadly buy the bookstore getting complaints about history books.

Remember, Agnes Nutter had both gunpowder and nails in her skirts -- the explosives aren't as effective if they don't have shrapnel to throw.

IIRC, standing up to the 'bullies' resulted in things like your last words being "More weight". Not a good move, even if it's the right move.

Can I just say how happy I am that someone else has read both Good Omens and Diana Wynne Jones books? Also-this mystery is so infuriatingly stupid I can't even. Why did I like this as a kid again?!

Also, has anyone noticed that the BSC never really solves mysteries so much as they get incredibly unlucky lucky and wind up in the right place at the right time for no really good reason?

I for one love salted chocolates. So Kristy can just bite my shiny metal ass.

And I never thought I'd say it but 'Go Logan!' Finally someone called Karen out on her bullshit. And really BSC? Is it that hard? Especially when she's scaring other kids. Aren't they responsible for the welfare of their charges and not Karen's special snowflake imagination?

Ugh. Abby shut up. Feminine does not equal anti-feminist. Anyone with half a brain knows that.

Kristy, so no, you aren’t marked for life, assuming you do, you know, wash yourself

That's assuming a lot for Kristy. Plus you can usually get it off with nail polish remover. Duh.

Ok. Wtf? Why would they not go to the police as soon as possible? It's common sense. And don't they just love having excuses to talk to the police?

Stacey runs to her jewelry box, but says nothing is missing

Yeah, Stacey. I'm sure tons of thieves are interested in your plastic heart earrings from Claire's.

Yes! Good Omens reference! Up high!

it was a black catOkay true story. The other morning my cat Cabby ( ( ... )

*SNORT* I just pictured these diamond thieves finding Stacey's earrings and going "ZOMG! Never mind the diamond, I MUST have these plastic heart earrings!!!!!"

And OW! Bad Cabby! My family aren't very pleased with black cats at the moment either. Our neighbour has one and it keeps bothering our cats (who are, admittedly, giant wimps XD) and occasionally coming into our house.

Cats are such entitled little buttheads. They just invite themselves in.

It backfired BIG TIME on our wimpiest cat. She squeezed into our neighbours' basement, got stuck there (they couldn't believe she managed to get in from outside in the first place) and then couldn't get out because the door was closed and she couldn't find the place she got in from. And then she had a total freakout when I tried to carry her out because the neighbours' own cat was inside and Wimpy Torty was afraid of it. XD
