Mary Worth 2035

You're my guiding light... and my meal ticket. Now that I'm so focused on us, I can't do anything else, including work. You won't mind supporting me, Terry, because I'm focused on us!

Today the role of Adam will be played by Family Guy's Glen Quagmire.

Adam has switched to using an umbrella instead of his cane.

I never saw a sea anemone flourishing on dry land before.

Today's second panel made me almost lose my breakfast..."You're my guiding light now..." EW!!! He's like a love-struck pre-teen. This is just too stupid.

He's so focused that he's unaware of placing his hand into his plate. Soon, he'll be doubly disabled...because he will have sawed off his fingers with his butterknife.

Let's hope that Terry Bryson comes to her senses and rejects Adam "The Way I Am, Disabled By Love" Miller before dessert.

Can someone wake me when we get to a Plot?

Someone please tell Terry that it isn't polite to scratch one's armpit with the cutlery at a fine restaurant.

Terry: "Adam, you can be a fundraiser for Congressman McDugal's SuperPAC. My friend Mary Worth can introduce you to her boy toy, er, gentleman friend, Jeff Cory. He's always online, raising funds for Peace Village. (At least that's what he says he's doing online.)"

Nance, I'm afraid Adam's sawed off more than his fingers. His whole lower body must be gone as his torso is sitting on the table!

Nance said...

Wanders, is Robert Palmer's "Addicted to Love" on the Charterstone Jukebox yet?

We can change the lyric to "Disabled by Love" when we sing along.

Adam: Note to oneself: Loose the orange suit. Okay, if that's the only suit you own, at least don't pair it with a mint green shirt. Okay, I understand. That's the only suit you have, and your one white shirt was dirty. Well, then I guess it's okay to wear that to dinner with Terry considering she's still wearing the same white scrunchy she's been wearing for the last 8 years. But what's up with wearing your dad's face?

Sorry... lose; not loose...argh...

Does Uncle Joe think that we might not recognize Terry if she were to show up at dinner with her hair undone?

Anonymous, re: your comment on Terry's hair, absent a plot, it seems time for a retrospective on "ponytailed protagonists through the years" . . . Perhaps M. Wanders could supply some. Who remembers Gina of Bobby and Gina?! It seems the more anxious the heroine, the tighter her ponytail. .. How about a nice young MAN with a ponytail? A ponytail would go nicely with Iris' son Tommy's job as a janitor. . .

"You're my guiding light. You're my 70 plus year running soap opera..our lives will be a seedy hotbed of tangled relationship problems, unexplained superpowers, time travel paradoxes and evil long lost clones, and estranged lovers, the pressures of which will eventually dissolve our very Heteronormativity."

Wait. That could never happen. This is Mary Worth.

Thursday

What in the world is on those plates? Ravioli? Clams? Pierogi? Whatever it is, Adam's cane is moving in on it. Maybe Chin Napkin and Cane will tangle!

Okay, LouiseF - you now owe me about 1/2 hour of your life. I just spent that much time going through the archives looking for ponytails. Yes, Gina, but also Jenna Thomas, Vera Shields, Lynn Griffin, Shannon Brown, and Tommy's potential girlfriend at Jerry's sandwich shop. There was also a child "Cathy" from 2004 or somewhere around that time. I would have pursued that further, and also might have tried to find out what Gina's last name was, but I didn't know if you'd be willing to give me a whole hour of your lifeblood.

Love the way the table is wrapping itself around Adam.

Peggy Olson said...

Wanders, you should add a new label: Ponytail.

KitKat said...

Adam and Terry should go to New York City. If they can make it there, they'll make it anywhere.
