Mary Worth 1,134

If there's one thing a professional sports management company can't stand, it's the fans! Fortunately, this is soccer, so they don't have to put up with many of those.

See this Facebook photo of Eve.


I've never really heard this cliche made gender specific before. I'm glad Gina is not being confused with Eve, but I really hope she is not being confused with Adam.



Oh, I don't know. Your job is to serve Diner patrons, but that doesn't seem to keep you from doing other things... in fact, it's the one thing you don't seem ever to do.






And thus, a stalker is born. Again. Another stalker. Aldo Kelrast. LiZa. Now, Gina.

Thank you for noticing that "Especially the women!" remark! I guess a story on the male soccer groupies is too interesting in the world of Mary Worth. Perhaps we'll spot a few in crowd scenes as Gina inches closer to Bobby but is held back by conscientious soccer security guards.

Robert, I've always found that the male soccer groupies are much nicer. The women keep whipping their ponytails around, whining until they get next to their favorite KickingIt centerfold.

I have to give Gina a bit of credit - she actually has enough brain power to realize that just maybe her message will be consigned to the "crazy" pile. But damn - she looks like the freakin' Terminator in the final panel today! I feel sorry for Coach Hamfist when RoboGina shoots her way to Bobby Black.

Yep, it's Mr. Hamfist Christy's job description to protect his guys from these pesky women groupies. ESPECIALLY the women! And he's gooood at it. Let's not forget -- he has a First Place Certificate and gold trophy cups!
Oh, WHAT is Hina to do?

"Bobby's soccer team's management company" - what unwieldy phrasing. Karen Moy is phoning it in. However, this may explain Mr. Hamfist. I think his company also handles a solid waste management outfit.

Now i'm about as big a fan of American soccer as is our host Wanders, but I believe Ms. Moy has made a big switcheroo, mid storyline. Back on Wednesday, Hina was specifically placing a phone call to "Bobby's team manager." As in: Joe Girardi. Tony La Russa. Terry Francona (oops, sorry, Red Sox fans). And now all of a sudden she's instead calling "Bobby's soccer team's management company"? Since when is a pro team's manager part of a "management company"? It's not just awkwardly phrased, it's inconsistent and confusing.

I found it h-i-larious seeing Gina pontificating about jobs. Meanwhile she's in the background and people are getting woozy due to starvation.

Did anyone else find themselves yelling "Yeah, Gina!" when she came to her senses. No way would she be so naive to think that Chris Christie would pass on her message. (And did anyone else think of Dr. Drew when thinking of male soccer groupies?)

I can picture the cruel hamfist of fate saying "you got a nice soccer team here; be a shame if anything happened to it"

Great hidden messages Wanders!

Gina is also an anagram for "I nag". Buyer beware Bobby Black.

Was anyone else disturbed that the lady at the booth (I'm presuming it's a lady) also is growing a beard? Maybe Moy fell asleep reading the plot too and smudged it.

Santa Royale has a Hilton?!

heydave said...

Wait, there's just layers and layers here...

Coach McHamfist put his cap on... to sit down and read a magazine??!?

Gina, I know you from Eve.

Eve is an African-American singer that has two paw prints tattooed on her upper, well, chest. She did a great duet with Gwen Stefani."Blow ya mind"...

You, ma'am, are no Eve.
