Mary Worth 1,064

Jeff seems to have created some sort of "hot or not" algorithm to determine whether or not Mary Worth is right for him.

You foolish romantic! Let her see those numbers and you'll be hittin' it before the 4 PM dinner @ Denny's!

Is one of those responses a pledge for "a large amount" from Ted Confey?

Wow...check out the size of that monitor!!!
Calling Mary a "girl"...yeah, I'm not so sure about that!

Elaine said...

When Mary asked, "What is that?" did she mean the spreadsheet or the monitor? Don't forget she is not in favor of electronic devices. Poor sheltered Mary, she really must leave the boundaries of Charterstone and the hospital once in a while...
I agree, she's a little old to be called a 'girl' - she should have slugged Jeff and walked off.

So you CAN put a price on Mary's skills. Interesting!

I'm sure Mary doesn't want to be treated like a number.

And any algorithm that calculates "hot or not" and calculates Mary Worth as "hot" is seriously flawed. Unless "meddling" counts for hot, in which case Mary would be *smokin'* hot!

I hate to call you out Schmoopie, but I recall you saying yesterday "I can't wait for tomorrow's new story!"

Do you still feel that way?

Just wondering why Jeff uses the floor plan of the local Motel Six to organize his fundraising.

"Hey, Jeff, as long as you're goofing around on the comp, let's go on a dating site and make up a profile for Drew. I'm sure we can come up with something more interesting than the real thing. Maybe we can finally get him married off and out of the house for good."

A Peace Village fund raiser story? After months of Drew's boring social life? Really? I'll try to be optimistic... maybe there's an evil embezzler?

I'm hoping that Our Favorite Nurse will make an appearance at this fundraising party. Perhaps her training class at Santa Royale University will go there on a field trip.

The party will be a success, with everyone dressed to the nines. And then with a gust of wind, the door flies open and in comes LiZa Colby, wearing her 80s power suit (with shoulder pads!) and her hair feathered more than the cast of Knots Landing AND Dynasty. And there, where a once-confused nurse once stood, now stands a confident business woman!

Ugh...I have too much time on my hands. And I'm still peeved that Doctor so-and-so's party was never seen.

Shmoopie said...

Um, yeah. Regarding the new story and all my excitement about it....I guess I'm over it. I'll sit quietly now and wait for something--anything!--to develop. Sigh!

I believe a girl is defined as a female child or a young, immature woman, especially an unmarried one. Well, it fits Mary on one count, anyway.

Punky said...

Hope always springs eternal, doesn't it, Shmoopie? You can't be blamed for thinking that something juicy must be, HAD to be, right around the corner. Silly girl, you temporarily forgot that in the Worthiverse, incredibly dull plots finally sputter to a close, only to be replaced by... even duller plots. I'm glad I'm not narcoleptic, or I would have fallen asleep right in the middle of reading "Peace Village fundraising dinner."

But I guess this means those Peace Village reports that Drew was thwarted from going over with Jeff were actually germane here. Could this actually be some foreshadowing on Moy's part?? Then again, this isn't exactly Chekhov's gun.

One continuity note: Mary can't seem to decide which of Jeff's shoulders needs patting more.

Dave in Parma said...

Sorry to be a downer Scmoopie. Maybe (to brighten James in ND's day too) the fundraiser dinner is at Dr. What's his Name's place (you know, the doctor who looks like C Evertt Koop). Liza will be a platinum fundraiser with table of her on following her success in the 'sales program'.

By the way, was that Doctor really just the Professor in glasses, kind of doing a reverse Clark Kent?

Gina said...

Am I really evil if I want to see some sort of "Apocalypse Now" storyline built around Peace Village?

Maude Findlay said...

@Gina- Hmm, that could be interesting! Maybe Aldo Kelrast didn't really die in that wreck, and he's sitting in a temple in Peace Village, with a shaved head, plotting his revenge against Mary, uttering; ''The horror...the horror!''

Vicki said...

Wait...what? when did Mary suggest a fundraiser dinner for Peace Village? Are they talking all-you-can-eat spaghetti and garlic bread, or is it prime rib, salmon squares supreme, and green beans? Does Dr. Bailey know about this?

James in North Dakota said...

Karen Moy, please make my day! Please have the fundraiser dinner at the Bum Boat. It's been oh-so-long since we've seen any action, eels-on-the-walls, or any other crazy hijinx at the Bum Boat.

LiZa, after the month or so which has flown by quickly (who would have thought?!), learned that being a salesgirl wasn't her forte and now, she's working as a serving wench on the Bum Boat. Frilly frock, eye patch, fake pegleg, the works. "Arrrr, I be LiZa. Would you like some complimentary salmon squares?"
