Back to floating hell. Derek went on and on about Esme all night, and now Katie is going to go on and on about her all morning. What a great relaxing getaway, huh?
Derek, she's going to keep harping on you until you fix that attitude of yours, mister. In other words, the beatings will continue until morale improves.
What is Katie about to bite into? That's an odd way to hold a croissant. Actually, it sort of looks like a small raw sweet potato. Maybe she should go to the cooking demonstration, too.
@fauxprof, Katie has her eyes closed, so maybe she's about to chomp on the seashell table favor instead of her croissant. Is there a dentist on board? Maybe he's a hottie, and Katie can have a fling with him to retaliate for Derek's fixation on Esme. Now that would be worthy of boldface type!
M. Wanders, it appears you may have been checking the www.roadsideamerica.com site for fun stuff to see on your trip. You might also check out the SPAM museum when you get to Minnesota (if you haven't already).
The tension grows. Will Derek give in to the temptation of a cigarette? Will he give into the temptress Esme? Will Katie throw herself overboard in despair? Karen Moy has hit a home run this time.
Mary’s Helpful Hint #32 (for MONDAY): To find out the latest about current events and the political situation in various Caribbean nations, read the travel brochure that the cruise activities director gave you! It is sure to have the most up-to-date political and socioeconomic analysis available on board!
Mary’s Helpful Hint #33 (for TUESDAY): For those of you who ENJOY making yourselves MISERABLE, remember to dredge up yesterday’s passive-aggressive conversation points about how MUCH your husband LOVED the lounge singer! It will make you REVEL in your own SELF-PITY! ... Plus, your husband will just think you’re a dork.
Mary’s Helpful Hint #34 (for WEDNESDAY): If your wife’s conversation turns into NAGGING and HARPING about how she’s jealous of that really HOT singer ... and dancer ... and all-around AMAZING talented person ... and beautiful ... and probably NOT a nag ... well, get yourself a fresh CIGARETTE ... and a fresh new travelling companion, too!
Oooooooo, not a smart move, Derek. Referring to her my name as if you know each other, defending her entertainer chops. This is not the way to get Katie to climb down off your back.
Go hot rod a cigar to calm down, and if she asks you if you've had a cigarette, you can honestly say No.
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.
ReplyDeleteHa haaaa, a VW bug!

A beetle-spider! How hilariously creepy!

ReplyDeleteOh, Wanders. You are the Perfect Travel Companion.
ReplyDeleteToday's Boldface Haiku is titled "There's Way More Wrong Here Than The Way Katie Is Manhandling That Croissant".
Enjoyed--you!
I--on, on, singer!
Dancer! Didn't!
Geez...cigarette...
Is there a cigarette vending machine on board?
ReplyDeleteYikes. I think Derek needs to fake his own death and start anew somewhere far away from Katie.

So glad that you're having a much better time than Derek is having, Wanders!
ReplyDeletePoor guy, trapped at sea with this seashell eating shrew. If there's any reason to throw yourself overboard, this is it.
ReplyDelete"Esme's a dancer as well!"

This conversation would be a lot more fun if we could go back to imagining Derek with a lisp. "Ethme’s not justh a thinger. Thee’s a danther too!"
ReplyDeleteThe bug spider picture is nice.
ReplyDeleteThe bug spider picture is good.
I enjoyed the bug spider picture.
I love the bug spider picture.
Have a great road trip Wanders - the best way to travel around the US.
But ... but beetles have six legs! That sculpture is seriously triggering my ocd.
