With the special, Pedro shouts "Move [insert name here]!!!" twice as much and louder.
I wonder if Iris will borrow money from newly rich Zak to ship Wilbur home. Or maybe Wilbur can make Venezuela his next stop. There should be plenty of survivor stories to find there.
Wilbur has had his mouth gaping open for three consecutive days. The fact that his "Amor" couldn't spend a minute with him after he bought her a $20,000 emerald somehow didn't tip him off. He'll be on a plane back to Santa Royale by Monday and sobbing over Mary's muffins by Tuesday. Romance with one of those Anarctic penguins would probably have been more satisfying than enduring Fabiana's fling with his wallet.
I forgot to include this in my previous comment: KM is still cribbing from Peanuts. "What a fool I've been!" is what Sally laments when she misses trick-or-treat because she waited in the pumpkin patch with Linus for the Great Pumpkin
I gotta hand it to Pedro, he keeps his cool and doesn't miss a beat. Caught in flagrante delicto, he calmly pitches his black weekend doorbusters special with friendly aplomb.
Anyway, maybe this is the day that Wilbur finally achieves self-awareness.
LOL Scottie, was thinking the same about Black Friday specials. Pedro knows that as clueless as Wilbur is, he can make a quick buck off of him. "This weekend only Senor Wilbur, we are offering a Black Friday two for one dance especial."
I still hope that Wilbur will do an Aldo and we can segue to a pool party with Mary comforting the now orphaned Dawn.
The next survivor story Wilbur wires will be his own, survivor of a broken heart.
The only open issue is how long this plot thread extends, given we're only in Act 4 (Wilbur is a Fool, preceeded by Act 1: Love is not for Iris, Act 2 Wilbur Falls for Fabiana and Salsa--thinking it was food, and Act 3: Iris Falls for Money). We still have Act 5: Wilbur Returns, Act 6: Iris Gets Dumped for Zak's Work, and Act 7: Iris and Wilbur Realize they have no Better Options and Reunite). We have until Mother's Day.
Shucks. I was so looking forward to family double date dinners (the Fabiana/Wilbur father-daughter and the Iris/Zak mother-son combos) back in Santa Royale.
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.
I wonder if there’s enough available credit left on Wilbur’s card for a ticket home. Or is he expensing that to the Santa Royale Weekly Shopper?
ReplyDeleteToday's Boldface Haiku is titled "It Isn't Over Until Pedro Says It's Over".
ReplyDeleteSurprise salsa lessons!
Can! Special!
While? Fool!

Also, was Wilbur so stupid that he thought Fabiana wanted him for his good looks and charming personality?
ReplyDeleteYes; yes you have Wilbur.
