Mary Worth 2560

Many of you will probably think I should add YMCA by the Village People to the Charterstone Jukebox, but here's the thing: I actually listen to the Charterstone Jukebox. A lot. And there's no way I will ever put YMCA on the Jukebox. So stop your begging.

At this rate Derek Hoosier won't be smoking until Memorial Day.

Perpetrators of heinous crimes should be sentenced to this cruise.

Why isn't Mary singing "In the Navy"?

There's always that one perky positive person in any exercise class. Sing out loud again, Toby, and, well, accidents have been known to occur whilst at sea.

Today's Boldface Haiku is titled "This Haiku Doesn't Mean What You Think It Means".

Love!
It's fun to stay
at the Y-M-C-A!

One good hard-to-port and those folks will be stepping hard on bar bells.

I've done a lot of calisthenics, PT, and whatnot in my life, and I have never smiled while doing so or ever seen anyone else smile. So maybe these people are just doing the happy mannequin challenge or something.

P.S. I don't know if I can respect anyone who doesn't like Y-M-C-A. How can you not love that song?

This reminds me of the absolute worst cruise we ever took. Towel animals, yes. And every morning, aerobics by the pool. We weren't participating, just trying to get some deck time, but the music (from a boombox) was the same Abba tape. Day after day. I still break out in hives when I hear Dancing Queen. Carnival, by the way, just that once and never again!

I wonder if those gym potatoes are on a giant treadmill or something.

I'm reminded of this clip from Russell Peters:

(The bit I thought of starts at 1:47)

Will Toby start making the letters Y - M - C - A with her arms, then be caught off balance and catapulted off the treadmill into the unwitting arms of the dude in the white T-shirt behind her ... leading to marital mayhem when they fall in LOVE? ... Wait, that might be interesting, so ... NOT!

Mary's Helpful Hint #12: If you're dying to escape the rat race of your day-to-day life, go on a CARIBBEAN CRUISE! where you can ... power walk around the decks, not noticing anything around you (panel 1) ... or wait, you can have a gym workout on a treadmill in a tiny room rank with the odor of sweaty socks and armpits (panel 2) ... or wait, no, maybe you should take in the sea air and wax contemplative about the meaning of life with your cruising companion (panel 1) ... where is Mary's companion again?

This Caribbean cruise is basically a floating version of the Pax Wellness Resort.

It's nice that Toby and Mary were able to take a vacation and escape the day-to-day demands of ... um ... what exactly does each of them do that is so exhausting?

"I LOVE the sea," Mary says. Hearing the proper form of the incantation, Neptune rises up from the foam and carries Mary away to his wedding chamber. Will Dr. Jeff risk his very soul to bring her back?
