"No, Dad, it's not too late! You abandoned me when I was 12 years old. You had no idea what Mom went through, God rest her soul! You drove her to an early grave, and you crippled me emotionally -- I can't even ask a girl out for a second date! You're so drunk you can barely take care of yourself. I've spent the last 25 years resenting the HECK out of you! I couldn't even mention your name without seething in hatred for you and your guts! But now that I know you were just off being a drunken vigilante, I am instantly full of compassion. Please come live with me. It will be so wonderful and heartwarming."Today's Full Strip

I can't follow this story anymore, the characters keep changing appearance too drastically. Who ARE these people?
Boy, this guy shakes. He could toss a salad in no time!
Moy commits an egregious subject-verb agreement error! Film at 11!
Madame Moy, it's "Years of living the way I did HAVE done me in."
Maybe the wages of excessive boozing is poor grammar, and Moy is showing us just how far Lonnie has fallen.
I HATE THIS "PLOT"!
There's a plot?
Folks who "live like [Lonnie] has done"...tend to have poor hygiene habits. (I'm trying to say it nicely...they REEK!)
Can't you picture waiter McSnooty waiting Lonnie, Jenna and Mike's table at The Three Trees!? Ha!
And then when Mike goes off to the restroom, Lonnie, who is prolly a dirty old man vigilante,-- sneaks a shaky feel off Jenna and she slaps him up side the head! End of second date. End of relationship.
I hope Dr. Mike eventually calls Jenna, who calmly tells him she's over him and dating another doctor, fresh from a tour of duty in Vietnam from tending to the poor.
Has anyone considered Dr. Mike may be taking Lonnie home to nurse him back to health, only to begin a campaign of torture and humiliation in revenge for all those years of abandonment and driving his mother to an early grave?
Nah, me either. Might be fun though.
Vicki, I agree that it would be dangerous to take Lonnie to Three Trees.
Waiter McSnooty: May I take yor order?
Lonnie: Did you kill my cousin?
Waiter McSnooty: No!
Lonnie: Then I'll have the pot roast.
LOL Jared! Mike could come home every week or so with a false lead. "Hey Dad, it's probably nothing but today I overheard someone at the hospital..."
yes Jared, maybe this is the beginning of a public service storyline about elder abuse.
Good call, djangosmom. I was just saying this storyline needs to go another layer deeper.
Vicki: They're goin' to the Bum Boat, baby!!!
[Because Lonnie's a stinkin' bum].
I cannot believe how lame this story line is. I've been reading MW for years and we are hitting new lows here. What the s**t is going on? Wake when the next story starts.
you of little faith dont you know once dr mike tells mary about the story of lonnie she will get detective scott to solve the murder of richie in 3 panals
Continuation of conversation at The Three Trees:
Waiter McSnooty: May I take your order?
Lonnie: Did you kill my cousin?
Waiter McSnooty: No!
Lonnie: Then I'll have the pot roast.
Waiter McSnooty:I believe you're potted enough already, sir.
Lonnie:Then I'll have the coq au vin.
Waiter McSnooty: Sorry, sir. We can't serve alcohol to chickens.
Lonnie: Well, what CAN I get in this joint?
Waiter McSnooty: Ejected, you reeking, dirty old grammar abuser!!! And take your hair-color-changing friend with you!
Hey, let's not forget, Dr. Mike finds helping others very cathartic.
Anon@7:47 PM- You could be onto something! Perhaps one of the warehouse shooters has info on the cold case of Cousin Richie. This is getting so exciting! I'm trembling in anticipation to see what happens next! Well, maybe not as much as Lonnie.

"Today we lay to rest Heavenlyjane, who will never awake. Ashes to ashes, dust to dust..."
The only thing I don't like about this story line is that there, quite naturally, will be a brief pool party pause before the next adventure of two men frolicking.
Given Lonnie's terrible battle with the DT's, I would like to request KC & the Sunshine Band's "(Shake, Shake, Shake) Shake Your Booty" to be added to the jukebox, subject to the Board's approval of course.
