Dead Ringer? That's awesome! Why didn't one of us think of that sooner??

Karen Moy is still a genius.

"Dawn, does this ghost pie batter feel alright to you?"

Guess who has electricity this morning?

Definitely don't look back. If you do, you might realize that Dave, with two arms, broke up with Dawn over five months ago, leaving Wilbur to ask, "How long will this go on?" as Dawn watched Game of Thrones over and over and over and declared, "Life is Brutal."

You might remember that the entire month of June was spent making arrangements for Mary to take over Wilbur's column so he could cash in a favor with Giorgio and take Dawn on an oppressively expensive Italian vacation. Because Dave, with two arms, broke up with her.

July, unfortunately, was so full of action that it was very disconcerting for all of us. From Michelangelo's David, with two arms, to Wilbur and Dawn experiencing an international maritime disaster ripped from the headlines... and all the text, word for word, that followed the headlines.

If you look back, you'll remember that in August, everybody looked back and repeated Dawn's adventure over and over and over again, and Dawn regretted missing Dave, with two arms.

In September, Dawn met Jim, with one arm. Last week, suddenly, there seemed to be some real dramatic tension building. Dawn wanted to walk along the pier where Jim had lost his other arm, and where his sister Merry somehow lost her life. She thought taking Jim to the pier would help clear their heads. Jim's reaction, was strong and upsetting for most of us. But fortunately, this happened today:

Dawn, you always know how best to help people. The hospital ought to pay you for your awesome skills as a social worker. After all, you have finished an entire year of college, haven't declared your major, and have overcome an addiction to the Internet using the controversial Kite Flying Method. You're exactly the kind of professional the hospital staff wants working with their patients.

Enjoy the Pier.

You know how when you take an English sentence and you put it in Google Translate, and then translate it back to English, the results can be hilarious? I did that with Dawn's sentence and got this:

"I like to walk along the pier. Let's go together later."

Hmmmm.

Google Translate: 1. Karen Moy: Zero.

You can't stop living! Let's walk by the water. You know, where your sister stopped living.

Ah, Mountview Hospital. So many special memories we've shared together. The cafeteria where we met. The cafeteria where we ate food. The cafeteria where I reached into my pocket for my wallet to show you this picture I still haven't shown you. Yes, we'll always have the Mountview Hospital Cafeteria. No matter what happens.

Of course, this implies that something could happen. Which would be a real change of pace.

Dawn is mortified to discover that not only did Jim lose his left arm and his sister in the ferry accident, but he also lost his iPhone and is now forced to carry photographs in his (gasp!) wallet!

If Dawn and Jim were really all that comfortable with each other, Jim would be all like, "Hey, check out McBeardy over there... He shaves off his sideburns. It must be a lot of work just to shave your sideburns and still grow such an awesome beard." Because that's what real friends do. They make fun of people who are different from them. It builds unity and group identity.
