Mary Worth 2796

Ted Miller sounds like quite a character! In fact, he sounds like two characters. I'm thinking of Ted Confey, and Adam Miller. I'm wondering if there's a relation, or if the NameCranker 2000 just has a very limited data source.

What’s Mary planning for that big bowl of unsifted flour? Looks like 4 to 6 cups, at a rough guess. Maybe she’s planning a really massive Yorkshire pudding to go with the roast? Maybe Jeff and his friend should stay home and have grilled cheese sandwiches.

If anyone here hasn't done so already, I would strongly suggest clicking on Ted Confey under Wander's list of labels. His comments and secret messages throughout the demise of Ted's relationship with Adrian have got to be Wander's best work ever. I don't think I've ever laughed as much since.

I'm not sure how I feel about Dr. Jeff's lamp. It's admirably out there, but I'm not sure I'd ever find space for it in my home.

That lamp is from the Dollar Store. Isn't Dr. Jeff a medical doctor? He can't afford better than that? Migawd.

And wasn't he gray?

Another story without a pool party. Maybe Karen Moy is worried she might be criticized for celebrating the unnecessary use of California water during a drought. Time for Mary to head to Pax Wellness. It's in the desert...

Now, now, let's give Dr. Jeff some credit. It's not every guy who can make a lamp out of wadded-up used bubble gum.

Old-school Mary is mixing up a big bowl of DIY wallpaper paste. She'll re-paper her living room while the rib roast gets well done, i.e., burns to a crisp. I hope that in addition to being quite a character, Ted Miller is a vegan. Ha ha, won't that be hilarious?!

Aren't we forgetting the most important thing here? We're onto a new storyline!! Hurrah!! One where we're not likely to see Wilbur in a speedo anytime soon!

Hey, this is great. Good ol' Ted will show up half in the bag with a hand buzzer and whoopee cushion, and for a hostess gift he'll hand Mary a suspiciously unrealistic looking can of "peanuts." Hilarity ensues!

What is that next to Lumiere de la Bubble Gum? Is it a video of Army Men’s Health that Dr. Drew left there? And doesn’t Jeff look pathetically eager at the possibility that he’ll be at the center of a ‘plot’ again?

Today's Boldface Haiku is titled

"...And By Character, He Means He's The Decorator Who Picked Out That Lamp".

Ted Miller. Soon.
Dinner? Rib roast!
Great! Like! Character!

But...but...so many loose ends that were not tied up! Can Wilbur not call his credit card company and have the $30K disputed? Call the police?

And now we are onto Ted Baxter visiting Mary all the way from Minneapolis. I hope he brings Georgette along for the ride!

KitKat said...

All of you people have me cracking up today! And Nance, I'm awestruck!

I'l be so disappointed if Ted doesn't look like Ted Knight!

Maybe Jeff just made up Ted Miller to get some alone time with Mary where he can propose to her again. After another rebuff Jeff can ask the same questions that Wilbur has been asking, "What is love, anyway?"

Nance said...

@KitKat--Bless your heart. Thanks everso.

@LouiseF: I'm really disappointed, too, about missing out on a pool party at Charterstone! An ancient tradition is falling by the wayside.
BUT ... we get a brand-new character! I can't contain my excitement!!!
Please, oh, please, Mary Worth goddess, please let Ted Miller be an off-the-wall character in the same league as Nola Wolvenson! I can't wait!
