Mary Worth 2550

Let the meddling commence!

"Did you say this is your first cruise? You'll love the amenities and the entertainment on board. Cruises offer something for everyone. You'll see foreign lands in an easy way. And the food! You'll enjoy not having to cook."

    Today's Boldface Haiku is titled "Why They Call It The Poop Deck".

    Big! Lost!
    First-time--allowed!
    ...First?

    “Did you say this is your first cruise?”

    With all the aplomb and know-how of a veteran angler, Mary cast the bait before the unsuspecting fish. She had a good feeling that the saps would be biting today.

    I hope Mary will find more to meddle with than Derek's nicotine addiction. Nobody hates smoking more than I, having lost both a husband and a father to lung cancer. But a four to six month anti-tobacco PSA would be excruciating. Maybe there will be other passengers with issues for Mary to address. Let's meet Ted and Sue Buckeye, Phyllis and Mike Cornhusker, and Jeanne and Rashad Sooner.

    Fauxprof, don't forget about Ima and Will Volunteer! An easy meddle for Mary. And I am very sorry to hear of your losses. You're in my prayers.

    Wouldn't it be great if the Hoosiers just snapped back at her: "We weren't talking to you. Mind your own business."? Wouldn't it be great if everybody she encountered reacted like that?

    I don't know - Mary changed her ways with Iris. Mary may just respond, "Good luck with that!" and park herself at the buffet.

    June is as inconsistent as Joe Giella was. The past two days, Katie Darling was about half a head shorter than Derek. Today the top of her head barely scrapes his earlobes.

    Mary's meddle-detector has been ACTIVATED!

    Also, where's the purple people eater when you need it? That would make the line move a lot faster, and Mary could get down to "observing how the Hoosiers interact" (as she once did to her victims ... er, "friends" ... at a dinner party).

Don't be shy! I'd love to hear what you have to say about Mary Worth. Just keep it clean, that's all I ask. This is a FAMILY FRIENDLY blog. I don't want to moderate comments, but I will if I have to.
