Today's Borefaced Haiku is titled

This conversation gets weirder by the day.

"How have you been, Brandy?"

"Oh fine. I have this boyfriend named Tommy who asked me to marry him, but I don't want to. And you?"

"What a coincidence! I asked my girlfriend to marry me but she doesn't want to. So how long have you been working at Freda's?"

"About a year. I'm a cashier there."

"I work at Freda's too. I stock shelves."

-- Scottie McW.

P.S. Great secret message, Wanders!

Wait a minute. Yesterday the city skyline was to the south of them, today to the north. Is the city of Santa Barbara Royale so huge it wraps around a spacious bay?

June, it would be a happy holiday season indeed if you could draw some horses. Just randomly drawn in any panel is fine, thank you.

KitKat said...

Boffo comments by everyone today (another home-run title, Nance!)! Wanders, the secret message prompted me to guffaw out loud.

Tommy: “I know what we should do! Let’s jump in the water and swim to Metropolis over there!”

Wanders, I hope Mrs. W. had her reading glasses on this morning. Why is June so good at drawing close-ups of hands but every shadow hand looks like a lobster claw?

Nance, you're a treasure, and everyone else, I am honored to be in your snark-eriffic company! Hope you all have a great day.

How long has this been going on?

Nance said...

@LouiseF--I'm getting business cards printed up immediately that say

Nance
Writer*Editor*Treasure

followed by my phone number and email address. Thank you.

@KitKat--If only I got paid the big bucks like the MLB professionals do. Sigh. Truly, however, your praise is worth millions. xo

Nance, perfect Haiku, loved it! My only interest in this story at this point is how KM will include Mary and will Mary be serving her muffins or banana bread?

FRIDAY

We now return to today's episode of "Deja Vu Theatre."

"I love you, Tommy!"

"I love you too, Brandy."

[deep kiss]

"Brandy, I know I don't have an onion ring on me right now, but will you marry me?"

"Uh, Tommy, we've been over this already. I can't."

"What do you mean, you can't?"

"Tommy, it's not you, it's me."

"Harrumph!"

-- Scottie McW.

Scottie McW., you’ve captured all the subtle nuances of this drawn-out take perfectly. So much for the hoped-for action on the boardwalk! These two could have stayed at that unnamed greasy spoon if they were going to repeat the same drivel.

We’re still overdue for a victory lap by Mary. I fear that will go on for a week also. MDMaryTed, I predict she’ll serve banana muffins.

Yahoonski - Maybe that's a revolving boardwalk. Sorta like the restaurant at the top of the Space Needle.

LouiseF said...

Or maybe that boardwalk is like the one George Jetson walks his dog on...If only.

SATURDAY
Tommy decides that half an onion ring is better than none.
