Andy: "Walk around in circles like I am, to help triangulate the phonecall."

Jerry: "You know what I should do? I should lead a teen abstinence workshop."
Ron: "That might be incredibly effective."

Ron: "We have nothing to eat because Jerry scared all the fish away with his loud personal stories!"

I lost it when Ron discovered Tom had been running power from the car to power his tent.

I totally thought the journal entry that Ben was reading about the guy and his wife spending "three nights of ecstasy in the room" was going to be an entry by Jerry. What a missed opportunity.

Was Ron whittling a Hitler bust on that piece of wood? Did I miss a joke about that earlier in the episode?

---

Ben: "Yeah, she died like twenty minutes after that."

I like that they're having Chris (Rob Lowe) stick around as the City Manager, but what position is Ben occupying exactly?

Good followup to Harvest Festival with Leslie's fears about being a one hit wonder.

at Ron's campfire horror story.

Leslie: "That was the second most awkward way a man has grabbed my breast."

April: "There's a brook somewhere that won't stop babbling. Shut up!"

Jerry eating a German muffin at the end, and the woman dying twenty minutes after playing for Jerry was perfect.

My favorite moment.
The campfire story and the opening of Leslie being groped while Paul had a heart attack were very funny.

Really enjoyed this episode. Wish they could have thrown in a "this cat looks like Ron Swanson" type joke.

That's what I thought at first but at closer inspection, it also looked like his portrait with his mustache.

I guess nobody else knows since that is what Tom was implying to him when he asked him why he's still here.

Ben is the budget manager. He came in with Rob Lowe to help cut the city's budget. They're both pretty much doing the same job but it was just that Rob Lowe was so nice that he needed someone to do the dirty work, which is where Ben came in. That was last season. This season he stuck around to make sure the Harvest Festival was profitable, now that he loves Pawnee (and will eventually bang Leslie) he decided to stick around and do the same with the other parks department activities.


....I Think

While it was clear what he did last season and why he stuck around, Ben, unlike Chris (Rob Lowe) who is now Pawnee's City Manager, doesn't seem to actually have a job in Pawnee.
