Mary Worth 3025

Just for laughs, I ran today's Worthy-Speak through Google translator into Korean:

Jeff: 고양이 알레르기를 수락 해 주셔서 감사합니다. 네가 리비를 좋아한다는 걸 알아.
Mary: 그녀는 지금 에스텔과 함께 있고 모든 당사자는 행복합니다.
To get a sense of how much Google Translate struggles with Worthy-Speak, I then translated it into English.
Jeff: Thank you for accepting allergies to cats. I know you like Libby.
Mary: She is now with Estelle and all parties are happy.
Color me impressed.

As I read today's strip, I thought, "Jeez, no one speaks like this. This dialogue sounds like it was generated by unintelligent artificial intelligence." Wanders, you were inspired with Google Translate - thank you.

Did Food Team have a sale on lamb, or is Mary going to recycle last week's meal? That would be the roast lamb Libby licked.

@kitkat, I was thinking the exact same thing with the dialogue and the lamb roast. No way Mary is going to use her muffin money to buy another lamb roast.

Mary wasn’t that fond of Libby because she dumped her on the first chump she ran into. I would have told Jeff to get some Benadryl and deal with it. This is the last we will ever see of Libby and Estelle. I wonder if Mary ever contacted Animal Shelter to let them know she got rid of Libby.

Mary is despicable.

What if Mary isn’t getting legs of lamb at Food Team? I fear she may have decided to “foster” an orphaned baby sheep.

Today's Boldface Haiku is titled

"What Cat?".

Lamb roast! Come over?
Yes! Pleasure!
Cat allergy. Fond.
All happy!

Love the passive/aggressive hint Jeff drops here...Thanks for Accommodating my cat allergy, Mary, because we all know you care more about a one-eyed cat you just met than the guy who’s been trying to make time with you for the past 30 years... Come on, just admit it..

I can't imagine cooking 2 lamb roasts in such a small period of time. Unless Wilbur is making sandwiches out of the last one, she'll just have to pull the previous one out of the fridge, and say, "it'll be ready in two ticks of a lamb's tail, once it comes out of the microwave...I cut off the part where Libby licked it, and managed to brush off most of the fur..."

When was the last time Mary got on Jeff's boat and she didn't get a free meal at The Bum Boat?

Considering Google translate is usually pretty weak for Korean ...
