Mary Worth 3055

Poor, Ian. The only student he ever loved, turns on him like a weather vane in Kansas. I really, really thought they had a future together.

And when he gets home, his jealous wife will have packed her bags and left again.

Mary Worth 3054

"Certain things are meant to be overlooked. Like your obesity, and your chin beard."

Mary Worth 3053

Do you kiss your economics professor with that mouth?

Mary Worth 3052

"After all that time I put into buttering him up, I could have been working on my assignment instead! And believe me, flattering Ian was a lot more difficult than the assignment!"

Mary Worth 3051

I'll be late for work if I don't stop laughing.

Mary Worth 3050

Of course, I can't be certain, but I believe his exact thoughts are, "Thank heaven for our tiny little utensils! Portion control is the only way I'll get the body Jannie craves."

Mary Worth 3049

I don't recall seeing Jannie in a turtleneck sweater before, but I'm glad that when Ian imagines Jannie in the privacy of his own brain, he dresses her in additional clothing.

Mary Worth 3048

That look was cute on Libby the One-Eyed Cat, but on you it just looks strained.

Mary Worth 3047

We get it, June. Kids today spend too much time staring at their phones, making them as cold and detached as Medussa's statuary.

Mary Worth 3046

I fell in love with June Brigman this week. I wonder if she'd like to hang out and smoke.

Mary Worth 3045

Awww, Afficionado - the new cigarette for femme fatales. It's like smoking cotton candy through a knitting needle.

Mary Worth 3044

The audacity, making all his students think that he's an easy A, and then, wham, Expectations! Helicopter parents must hate him.

Mary Worth 3043

Jannie is an Ice Princess! The only thing that keeps her warm at all is her Virginia Slims cigarette. This woman is pure evil. You can't even sign onto the Virginia Slims website without certifying that you are over 21 and already a smoker! Stir clear, Michael, my boy. Stir clear. You're better off joining the hiking club.

Mary Worth 3042

How can Hey-Mickey-You're-So-Fine Boy even hope to compete with the beguiling Quaker Oats Man? Clearly, Jannie has Ian enthralled. He can barely contain his lust.

Mary Worth 3041

I don't know who concerns me more: Toby and Ian unable to communicate about a certain stalker co-ed, or Mary reading Outlander and thinking about her friends.

Does that melting candle symbolize something waning?

Mary Worth 3040

Will she, or won't she? I hate these cliff-hanger endings! The suspense is KILLING me! Or maybe it's just gas.

Mary Worth 3039

Suddenly, Toby is worried about appearing petty and selfish. Who says Mary Worth characters can't change. And to prove it, she's suddenly in mourning for Bella the dog.

Hey, everyone, thanks so much for making donations after the Worthy Awards yesterday. I can't tell you how much I appreciate it! And I hope you enjoyed the ceremony.

Eleventh Annual Worthy Awards

Ladies and gentleman welcome to the 11th Annual Worthy Awards!

It's a grand night for celebrating all that is Worthy of celebrating. Don't let that mob of #MeToo protestors outside discourage you from enjoying all the excitement inside Auditoreum.

Muffins are available in the lobby for $1. All proceeds support Local Animal Shelter.

To get us started, here is the lovely Patty Page with her beloved, "How Much is that Doggy in the Window?"



Generally, it's been a wonderful year in Santa Royale, and everyone has been over the moon about all the great stuff that has happened. But there has been sadness and loss too, so we want to take just a moment to present the annual Aldo Kelrast Memorial Award. Each year, one lucky recipient who has died receives this coveted prize. This year, the trophy goes to Bella!

Congratulations, Bella. I'm sure you will never be replaced!

Our first award is for outstanding pefromance by an inconsequential character. This year's nominees stirred up some controversy because some voters felt Wilbur's Therapist was ignored by the condo board because he is black.

The condo board has issued the following statement: "How can you call Wilbur's therapist inconsequential? He cured Wilbur in one session. So, despite his brief appearance, Therapist, did not qualify for this award. The condo board is eager to recognize all outstanding contributions to the Worthiverse, regardless of race, religion, gender or how embarrassingly cliche he or she may be."

And now, on to our first Worthy Award:

The nominees for OUTSTANDING PERFORMANCE BY AN INCONSEQUENTIAL CHARACTER are:

Santa Royale Gothic

Claudia the Cat Woman

The Widow Estelle

Father Therapist

George the Agent

Brony

And the tropy goes to...

Brony
