Mary Worth 3480

We were all different in the past. Tommy used to be a stupid loser:
And Brandy wasn't always white:

Today's Boldface Haiku is titled

"What Allen Ginsberg Left For A Tip On A Napkin In The East Village In 1994".

Tainted...the past!
Said...Not.
Me!
Hard!
Nothing you!

Hahaha Nance. Home run as usual.

I see Babe and Tommy are still on the "it's not you, it's me" conversation. Just break up already. Tommy's a loser whose goal in life is to be a stock boy forever and as with Babe, like Dilbert's boss said "I don't know what her defect is". (I have that comic in my office at work. That line cracks me up.) I'm sick of these too. Tommy has the same look on his face that my niece had when she was little and my sister wouldn't give her a cookie.

Tommy looked better with his hair stuffed under a hat. He should go back to that look.

I recall that after Tommy became enlightened while serving his time in the slammer, he found religion and led Bible study groups for his fellow inmates. Maybe he can accompany Mary to St. Ann’s Church (which was shown exactly one time, I think when Mary was shoving her muffins off for a bake sale). The n the way to church, Mary can explain to Tommy how she and Jeff came to have such a satisfying relationship.

Argh, my last sentence got garbled: “Then on the way....”

I love that BFH title, Nance!

What, Tommy used to look like Jeremy Renner? KM used to have a sense of humor?! These characters seem to take themselves a lot more seriously than they used to. To the point of soap opera. Oh, yeah, I forgot that MW has soap opera roots, roots that not even Allen Ginsburg could overcome. Love that reference, Nance. Now I'm going to go watch the documentary about Ginsburg that came out in 1994.

Thanks for the flash back, Wanders. Didn't Uncle Joe love his pony tails? Was there ever a woman he drew that didn't wear her hair in a pony tail? And Tommy too, in his drug dealing days. And the pony tails were always pointy at the end. We miss you, Uncle Joe!

Thanks, everyone.

If this is an indication of your salesmanship skills, Tommy, maybe you ought to reconsider that sales career. You're trying your hardest, but Babe isn't buying.

Tomorrow, Brandy will have to wash her hair.

FRIDAY

Seems to me that Babe's been giving Tommy some mixed signals. A few days ago, she was telling him how much she loved him and couldn't imagine life without him. Tonight she's giving him the bum's rush. Could it be that an old boyfriend has suddenly turned up and is causing this change of heart?

Brandy dear, after a minute back with you and Tommy, we ALL have a headache.
