Mary Worth 1,280

No, Toby, wonders never will cease. Because you live in Santa Royale, California, the most wonderful place in the whole entire world, full of expensive shopping districts, and magical hobos! Now run along and paint a picture of a magical hobo would you?

You know what I didn't see coming? That Mary and Toby would have a gossip session to talk about Nola. Will wonders never cease??

Will Nola's honest work include testifying in court when Dan Smithers sues her for defamation of character and their company for wrongful termination?

heydave said...

Maybe she'll just tell those honest lies now.

Note to Toby: you weren't quite so forgiving back when you were gossiping about man-eating Nola at the Charterstone Pool Party, were you? But I guess you can finally unlock Tubby Hubby from the Chinbeard Cabinet, now since Nola has reformed her ways and is (presumably) no longer on the prowl for your catch of a man.

Hold it. Does Moy know the meaning of the word "irrelevant"? Because I don't think it's relevant to the story line.

And "honest work"? Where was Nola working? A call-girl operation that sent out business-attired women?

Geez...

But wait?... Was Nola's man cheating on her - or not???

I hate it when we don't get answers... Heeeey - and by the way- where is the $50 Grand from Ted Confey?

(Fifty Grand)

Mary said...

Did anyone else watch General Hospital in the early 80s? There was some nurse (Anne?) who had this really annoying son whose name I can't remember. He was awful, and his hair was always greasy. One summer he went to sleep-away camp, and the character NEVER CAME BACK. No one ever mentioned him again. He just up and disappeared from Port Charles.

I think that's what happened to Adrian.

Just wait one cotton-pickin' moment, Mary - "She acted as she did because she was afraid of becoming irrelevant"!?" Say what??!!

What an odd power-walking duo Toby and Mary are, with Toby's purple romper (note those short shorts), and Mary's black jumper over a long-sleeved shirt. I guess Mary is not planning on working up a sweat. Even a brief stroll in that outfit would be stifling.

Wonders will never cease... just like this storyline.

Mary was busy making another casserole when Toby asked if they could go walking together, and she forgot to take off her black apron.

With all of these unexpected plot twists, how could we see any of this coming? What a roller coaster ride. If Moy keeps this up she may one day rival The Family Circus for unpredictability.

I wonder what is the Mary Worth record for "talking about an event"?

Right now it's been 3 weeks since Nola interacted with a homeless man. I'm also guessing we have another week of Mary talking to Toby and then Dr. Jeff about it.

Meanwhile, the magic hobo continues his blue & red bottle-scouring in the park, pushing his STOLEN grocery cart! Wouldn't it be quite ironic if Nola became a cop and busted his behind for theft!?

I think Toby meant to say "Will Wanders never cease!"

Sandi Ego said...

Toby's eye is seriously freaking me out.

Wanders said...

@pat p. hahaha. Never! This blog is about to turn 5 years old!

I want to sit with Mary and Jeff in Mary's hallway and watch TV for a week while Mary tells us of all the interesting things that have happened recently in Santa Royale.

You've got to hand it to Mary. Not many women of her age can rock that prison matron/cafeteria lady style like that.

And if she were to wear a little babushka, she would look like a Communist-era Russian factory worker.
