After several weeks of not changing her clothes, Dawn is off to purchase the next season of King of Thrones. Or is it Game of Thrones? Whatever. I certainly won't take the time to Google it.
Fortunately, the Video Store is on the Pier where she will find Jim facing his demons. The suspense is killing me.
Dawn IS off to The Pier where she will have a brief ceremony and toss in a wreath shaped like a prosthetic arm.
ReplyDeleteInspired by the brilliance of Dave from Parma, and with apologies to the late Mel Torme:
ReplyDeleteGhost Pies roasting on an open fire
Bloggers laughing up their nose
Charterstone sinking into the mire
And girls dressed up
In purple clothes
Everybody knows
Some cliches and some platitudes
Help us all to see the light
Surly folks with bad attitudes
Wait for one to make things right.
They know that Mary's on her way
She's loaded big gray books
To quote from on her sleigh
And all the Worthiverse
Is gonna try
To by the first in line
To ask the reasons "why?"
And so I'm offering
This simple phrase
To Wanders and his happy crew
I doubt it's been said
any time, any way:
Mary Worthness,
Mary Worthness--
To you!
Brava, fauxprof!
ReplyDeleteContributors like you are why I get up in the morning!
Ditto what mike said!
ReplyDeleteBravo, fauxprof! My favorite part is the second verse.
ReplyDeleteIs Dawn going through an interior or exterior door? Will she leave for THE PIER, the hospital, Jim's school, or just her room to hop onto Netflix and stream "Game of Thrones"?
And how dumb is it that she hasn't just gone to her volunteer job at the hospital and seen him there? In "several weeks" he would have had to show up for therapy.
I know, I know. What am I trying to do, apply Real World Logic to the Worthiverse? Duh. How dumb is it that...sigh.
Does this mean that we missed Dawn texting and voice-mailing Jim over and over for the past several weeks without getting a response? Did Dawn think the friendship was still intact as long as she was pinging Jim? Did Dawn forget to check his facebook/facetime (or whatever Moy called it) - wasn't she addicted to it at one time? I feel we've missed so much.
ReplyDelete@fauxprof - very nice lyrics
Isn't this how the story began 7 months ago?
ReplyDeleteFauxprof, that was great. And Dave's, 12 Days of a Karen Moy Christmas (they just last and feel like 25) was, too. Wanted to tell all you commenters here how much I enjoy what you write. You make me laugh every morning. I read many blogs, but the only 2 I also read the comments on are here and Ysac.
ReplyDeleteBless you, Wanders, for your sense of humor and for letting these people have some free rein. I think there are sometimes comments that make you uncomfortable, but you let them stay, for the humor. And the wisdom.
Bless you all. May you live long and prosper. And keep on writing.
I just posted this in yesterday's comments, by mistake, because it's today. Cheers!
No Hermite. I will delete things that are not family friendly enough. But thank you for your encouraging words.
ReplyDelete@Nance from yesterday,
ReplyDelete"Kelk" was a product name printed on a box on Mary Worth's cupboard. No one knows what it is. We suspect it is some kind of ground grain. She probably bought it from the same store that sells "Flak," another mystery product she has been seen to use.
I'm at work right now, so I can't research it further, but if anyone knows what episode number (Wanders number?), help us out...
Wilbur, Dawn is in mourning. You should cheer her up with a vacation! Cairo is lovely this time of year. Museums, cafes, a walking tour of Tahrir Square...
ReplyDeleteKelk and Flak must come from IKEA?
ReplyDeleteWell versed Fauxprof!
ReplyDeleteI'm pleased we are able to fast forward through 3 weeks of texts and voice mails, but our progress reminds me of the scene in Monty Python's Holy Grail where the troupe storming the castle perpetually seems across the field.
There IS a Kelk webpage:
ReplyDeletehttp://www.kelk.com/Pages/home.html
And their slogan is:
Good, Better, KELK!
@fauxprof: brilliant! Makes me forget the pain of circling the Drain That Is Dawn, seemingly endlessly.
ReplyDeleteSunday - after several weeks Jim regenerated his left arm?!?!?
ReplyDeleteI've been away from the blog for a couple of days, so I just caught up on everyone's comments from Friday and Saturday. What a talented, hilarious group you are, from Wanders on down! Thanks to all of you.
ReplyDeleteOn to Sunday's strip - what a treasure-trove of unique MW moments, beginning with Jim's head in a bubble, the Seagulls of Love, pointing fingers, etc. Dawn's daisy looks like one of those novelties that spray water into the face of an unwitting person. Too bad she threw it so forcefully over the side of the pier before Jim's entrance.
Anyone else wondering at the significance of Jim's sleeve not being pinned? Is this a metaphor for his emotional healing, or did his arm grow back?
@KitKat: unpinned sleeve = lost wallet
ReplyDeleteIn a burst of speed therapy, both mental and physical, in a matter of mere weeks, the following has transpired:
ReplyDeleteJim has overcome his phobia concerning THE PIER.
He has been cured of his mood swings, anger issues, feelings of inadequacy, and (ahem) sister fixations.
He has been fitted with a prosthesis, hopefully bionic.
And is now ready to be a docile, just-friends Dr. Jeff clone.
Can we have a new Dawn-free storyline now, please?
Is it psycho Jim...or is it Dave? I can't tell them apart now that they each have two arms.
ReplyDeleteAnd I thought that "Here's looking at you, kid" meant goodbye. Is Dawn about to sleep with the fishes?
Dawn hasn't heard from Jim for weeks because he has been focusing all of his time and energy on regenerating a new arm!
ReplyDeleteMaybe you shouldn't be so hard on game of thrones for making a cameo at Dawn's appartment
