Scott's wanting to stay local obviously is a signal that he can't afford an exotic locale honeymoon and, male traditionalist that he is, he doesn't want Adrian to pay. Thus setting the stage for the failure of the typical Santa Royale (aka 1950s) marriage. In fact, I'll go out on a limb and say the wedding will never take place.trixietrudynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1370484496614447605.post-59673776059199038282010-11-05T15:28:00.892-04:002010-11-05T15:28:00.892-04:00@ birdie - If the people of Santa Royale were at a...@ birdie - If the people of Santa Royale were at all capable of open and honest communication, especially with loved ones, they'd have to rename this strip.duckdgnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1370484496614447605.post-57315785283164496262010-11-05T14:51:57.808-04:002010-11-05T14:51:57.808-04:00Adrian must be driving to England; notice the loca...Adrian must be driving to England; notice the location of the steering column in Friday's strip!
