And so it begins. Welcome to your new life, John Dill. Or shall I say, welcome to Mary's life, for your free will has been purloined by the craftiest of fiends. Don't let the apron fool you. This is truly hell's kitchen.
Speaking of Mary's apron. I kept feeling like her monogram was a cattle brand, and now I know why. I've attended a few work events at the Marriott Ranch in the Blue Ridge... and I've seen Mary's brand there. Check it out:

And so the lessoning begins, John Dill. You do NOT say "I don't want to..." to Mary Worth. Because whatever it is you don't want to do, you must do it since It Is For Your Own Good, and This Will Build Character.
You are now ten years old again, Mr. Dill, and Sister Mary Mary is in charge. (Yep, that's the cold chill of Catholic school in the 1950's whistling through my psyche.)
Mr. Dill has surrendered his free will to the devil incarnate.
The design John Dill has in mind involves a model car plunging off one side of the cake and decorative icing spelling out, "...oh, no..."
Oh, John dill. You are so funny!
You had a little idea all by your ownsome?
Cute.
No.
Good call on that monogram, Wanders. Perhaps Mary stole that apron from Marriott because the corporation refused to change its name to "Mary Ought [to be in charge of everything]." She's already putting the screws on the hapless John Dill.
@fauxprof at 7:27 AM, I too recall those school nuns. Mary brandishing that kelk-coated spoon reminds me of Sister M. Bonaventure and her wooden pointer.
"You should enter the contest" actually means "You should be my puppet as I enter the contest because I have been banned for life".
You're my b%$#@ now Dill!
Uh-oh, dissension in the ranks already? Maybe team Dill/Worth should split up now so Mary can enter the contest herself, and prove to John that she, and she alone, should be crowned the "Cake Designer Supreme" of Santa Royale.
Wait a minute... Is this cake design competition in Santa Royale so popular that the local station produced DVDs of previous contests? Or has Mary been videotaping the programs on VHS for her own private collection?
Poor John. This is just how it was with Eleanor. She badgered him and bossed him and commandeered his dream until he couldn't take it anymore.
Why do you think his cakes are so big?
Just sayin'....
Once Mary Worth has entered your life there is no returning to the beginning. John Dill needs to run away as fast as he can before he gets turned into one of Marys many sycophants.
Hang up now, John Dill. Just hang up.
I for one am looking forward to watching re-runs of the competition on You Tube. Mary must know that the new union contract only allows 1 full pad cake practice session a day, but that the team is eligible to have all the chalk talk and film reviews they want. Maybe we can get John Madden to run the tele-strator.
@KitKat: Mary Ought. Perfect. So wish I'd thought of that!!
