It's hard to get over your 14-year-old crush, isn't it? Who among us hasn't looked back on that innocent time of acne and hormones with a sweet longing that throws us into a tailspin or self pity and despair over Fate's cruel blows, driving us to share our heartache with any passing stranger to the neglect of Table 7. My 14-year-old crush was Jenny Johnson. How I pined for her, until Fate's cruel blow... wait a minute. No, I moved on. When I was FIFTEEN.

Do you think Moy has an editor? This stuff reads like she cut up a bunch of words, threw them on the floor and glued them back together.
I also think it's time for a NYC Cameo.
Gina & Bobby " I love you, I love you, I love you"
Guest Star #1 "To love is to suffer. To avoid suffering one must not love. But then one suffers from not loving. Therefore to love is to suffer, not to love is to suffer. To suffer is to suffer. To be happy is to love. To be happy then is to suffer. But suffering makes one unhappy. Therefore, to be unhappy one must love, or love to suffer, or suffer from too much happiness. I hope you're getting this down.
Guest Star #2: Thank you for not smoking"
Gina & Bobby: "Woody Allen and former New York City Mayor Ed Koch !!!?????!?!?"
The text balloon made me laugh. I guess Bobby and Gina are just saying "I love you I love you I love you I love you" either in a creepy chant, or they are talking over each other. Either way, hilarious.
So this explains the woman sitting next to me on the bus yesterday, who was wearing green glitter eyeshadow and Smiley Face t-shirt, chanting "I love you" over and over. She wasn't crazy; she was pining for her lost teenage crush.
Wanders, I read your comment yesterday about why Gina kept her ponytail and almost did a spit-take with my hot morning coffee! Thanks for the belly laugh.
Dave in Parma: Congrats on the new family member! Perhaps we could add "Having My Baby" to the jukebox. (Mary loves Paul Anka, I hear.)
Some days I really shouldn't read this before breakfast.
No thanks, just lost my appetite.
This is the stupidest story ever in MW.
Gina, my darling, you are my sunshine. When we're together I feel fine. Your smile is so lovely, your hair is so clean. You make me feel that the whole world is mine. Gina, Gina, Gina, Gina, Gina, Gina, Gina, Gina, Gina, Gina, Gina, Gina, G-I-N-A
Why? Because you're Gina, Gina, Gina, Gina, Gina, Gina, Gina, Gina, Gina, Gina, Gina of mine. Mine, mine, mine, mine, mine, mine, mine, mine...
(Inspired by the Kelly song - Cheers)
Gina is free to search for Bobby. If the mob was after her, she would really have been attached to that tree by her ponytail, as she appears to be in the second panel.
I assume that Witness Protection people don't get to have long goodbyes.
I think this was all a complicated ruse by her father to keep her away from Bobby. I really don't blame him.
How painful and sad--and Gina had just gotten over the (innocent) love she lost at age 4 when her mom had seen the gangland murder forcing them to move and change their name while leaving their forwarding address.
(Thanks Peggy and Wanders for your thoughts as well--hopefully everyone comes home today so our now 4 kid asylum can get in full swing).
Hmmm...Having to move away from one's childhood boyfriend / girlfrield is always so traumatic that one grows up certain that love is not for them. Kind of like the time that bad weather forced my family to leave Cedar Point early. I knew from that point forward that amusement parks were not for me.
Sir Paul McCartney called; he wants his lyrics back.
(That's all I want to say-until I find a way)
@Birdy: hmmm, to get Gina away from Bobby! Dad is pretty clever!
Mary must have fallen asleep listening to Gina's increasingly boring story.
This is all a clumsy ploy to make me say something rude that will get me banished from this family friendly blog, ain't it?
Well, I'm not going to say it, just squint my eyes and think reeeeaaaal hard:" "
There, take that Gina.
Why is it that Mary never advises those she counsels to seek out a mental health professional? Better yet, perhaps we should attempt an invervention for Moy and Giella.
I think that witnessing the mob hit was just a clever ruse for Mr. Baroni to get Gina to give up the ponytail. Boy, was he disappointed when they moved across the country, just to see that the ponytail remained (to this day!)
I hope that next week, something happens. If I have to read another week of "Oh, Gina, I don't know how to live without you? And where's my deflated basketball?" I might have to switch to Marmaduke
@Robert: how awesome would it be to have a panel with Mary waking with a start and wiping drool off her cheek?!?!

mackerse (I got nothin')
"Something neither of us could bear"?! Could Gina and Bobby have made a suicide pact but Gina botched her end? Maybe that's how fate delivered the cruel blow.
Dave in Parma: Best wishes to your family!
The cruel hand of fate was dealt to the couple at table fourteen. They came into Diner HAPPY, because that was the only way they knew to be! (Well, that, and a little bit hungry) They had the highest expectations that breakfast would be forthcoming. But alas, they waited, and waited, and waited. And waited. Their waitress never came...and they starved.
Enough with the PDA already, you two!
Whoa, major "Singin' in the Rain" flashback! "I love you [kiss], I love you [kiss], I love you . . ."
Gina- I thought I was old to make a My Belle Michelle reference!
:-) What can I say, I'm a diehard TCM fangirl.
