Mary Worth 1,686

Yes, but, Wilbur... what would Mary do if she suddenly had a lot of time on her hands? Please don't take this away from her. Who knows what could happen.

Donate to Mary Worth and Me today and help save Mary's job! (Actually, I have no influence, but maybe I could write a letter to the editor about what is write and what is wrong. Ha ha. Get it? Write? It's a little wordplay.) Today is the last day of our fall fundraising campaign, and I do appreciate all the gifts that have been given. Thank you all very much!

I see, said the blind woman, who picked up a sammich and saw.

This is the Sandwich That Never Ends for MW. It's a Regenerating Sandwich. She could feed the world with that one sandwich.

Who is that chimpy-looking guy/boy in the grey photo? And why does Wilbur have a robotic hand?

@Nance at 9:53 AM, it may be Buffalo Bob Smith in the photo. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buffalo_Bob_Smith

I realize applying real-world principles to the Worthiverse is foolish, but wouldn't the editor and/or syndicate that publishes "Ask Wendy" decides who writes the column?

There is no other word for the look on Mary's face except "crestfallen"--unless it's "CRUSTfallen". . . Get it?? Like the CRUSTS of Mary's sandwich, which is looking might wilted, just like her. I have to admit to getting way too much enjoyment from seeing that look of disappointment on her face. It's not every day one gets to disappoint Mary Worth. . . .

Poor Wilbur has no idea what he has wrought. You don't fool with Mother Worth.

FINALLY! It's about time Mary got knocked down a few pegs. And by Wilbur, at that! The fall is always greater from a high horse, Mary.

Wow! I'm just Like Wilbur. In addition to a love for Ham Sandwiches (proper noun, treat them with the respect they deserve) I have people at work trade jobs with me for months at a time too. They're crestfallen when I tell them I want my job back because I have so much free time on my hands.

Oh, pul-leeeze! As if Mary truly needed the virtual soapbox provided by "ask Wendy" to trot out her own magnificence.

Mr. Editor, fire these two!

Jack Worth said...

I'm surprised at this turn of events. Wilbur strike me as someone who would not want one job, much less two.

It seems to that both "Ask Wendy" and the survivor column don't require to much work, so maybe Wilbur can also take up writing "Mary Worth" too!

"Karen, I don't know how to tell you this, but I'd like to take over 'Mary Worth".

Vicki said...

Even the guy in the photo is thinking, "you've GOT to be kidding me, buddy! You don't cross Mary Worth and live to finish that sandwich!"

Dawn Weston's Evil Twin said...

Come on, folks, who are you kidding? Mary isnt' really crestfallen (or "crustfallen"--that was brilliant, LouiseF--she's just pulling her typical passive-aggressive guilt trip schtick. Mary will get the column back, believe you me.

Can we add Styx's "Too Much Time on My Hands" to the jukebox? (This scene immediately took me back to the music of the roller-skating rink after elementary school!)

And the powerful lyrics that are Worthiverse-worthy:
"...Well I'm so tired of losing I got nothing to do/ And all day to do it...Now, I'm a jet fuel genius I can solve the world's problems
Without even trying..." Like a certain someone who might be losing her Ask Wendy gig!

"CRUSTfallen" was brilliant indeed, LouiseF!

Remember Fauxprof's song from several months ago: "Mary the White Haired Meddler"... and why is it that I can't get that song out of my head just now ?!? It's time for the poisoned Kelkies, Mary!!

Tony said...

Is anyone else having trouble viewing "Today's Full Strip?"

fauxprof said...

Wow! Thanks, Anonymous, for remembering my little "Rudolph" parody.

Chester the Dog said...

Mary can always hang out at Santa Royale Mart and pretend to be a greeter.

SUNDAY

Iris?! That was two years ago. This is a blast from the past for sure. A new Meddle Project begins in five...four...three...two...one....
