Can't Terry track where the $10K went to, instead of blabbing away?
ReplyDeleteI prefer Mark Trail's naturalist platitudes over Moy's PSAs any day. :/ Besides, Trail always resorts to violence. After getting bushwhacked by Arther/ur while creeping round his trailer, Mark would punch him out then call the Sheriff.

Stop, Nance - you're killing us! Brilliant today, as usual.
ReplyDeleteI have to admire KM for looking up this info on Google. Usually she has the characters say something that's way off base or totally insane: (Example the Ted "WHat a character" Miller resolution.)
ReplyDeleteHow could have you protected yourself? Well stupid, you could have FaceTimed with your
"beautiful man" and not send ten grand to someone you don't even know, just because he read you a bunch of cornball poetry. Libby is thinking that she's smarter than you and she's just a cat.
The three women and Libby lined up is hilarious. Instead of random MEOWs, we could have used thought bubbles from Libby wryly commenting on the humans and their deficiencies. Of course, KM is not capable of wry commentary.
ReplyDeleteIf Estelle hadn’t sent the 10 grand to Artie, she could afford a second pair of earrings.
@Yahoonski--No, YOU stop. LOL. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteYou know, all Estelle has to do is watch Dr. Phil, which my husband does faithfully almost every Monday through Friday. Dr. Phil has had this particular topic on for discussion at least ten times in the past four years.
My husband, by the way, watches Dr. Phil because (a) he is endlessly fascinated by the fact that people are so willing to parade their dysfunction on television; (b) it makes him feel so superior; (c) it gives us an opportunity to play Dr. Phil Bingo, a game I invented and made cards for.
@Nance I visited my 92yr old mom the other day and Dr Phil was on TV. My mom, apropos to nothing, declaired "Dr Phil is an ass."
ReplyDeleteI'm disappointed that Terry Bryson is throwing a big ol' wet blanket on this exciting plot with her statistics and PSA speech. It really was a thriller till now.
This other day someone wrote asking if there are still quotes at the beginning of Mary Worth on Sunday.
ReplyDeleteHere is the first panel from Sunday, May 19, 2019:
Truth is everybody is going to hurt you. You just gotta find the ones with suffering for. - Bob Marley

@ BNance: Another great one! Missed you. Thought you had run out of steam with this banal plot.
ReplyDeleteDr. Phil airs before Judy Judy here in Maine (and in NY too!) ANyway, I despise him. He seems to have this "I'm so smart and you're so dumb" attitude when he talks to people. Everytime I see him talking I say "Shut up baldy". (When I was a little girl, I watched Amos 'n' Andy with my father all of the time before they took it off the air. One of the characters, Sapphire's mother use to tell her son-in-law, The Kingfish "Shut up Baldy!"all of the time and it stuck with me all of these years.)
I watch Maury all of the time with my husband and like your husband, I am fascinated with these people who embarrass themselves on national TV, bringing lying husbands and multiple men who could their baby daddy for the world to see. Alas, Nance, we don't have Maury playing cards, but I jokingly tell him that my niece is our daughter (She looks more like me than she does my sister.) and I'm taking him on Maury to prove it.
@Nance: Just when I think you can’t top yourself on BFH titles, you come up with one that has me helpless with laughter. As to Dr. Phil, I despise him so much that it’s deleterious to my blood pressure to even hate-watch him anymore. However, Estelle would deserve to be taken apart on air by that smarmy phony.
ReplyDelete@fauxprof, @Regina Wolfe-Parks--Thanks, ladies. Truly. I've just been taking a breather while Wanders does. Sometimes it does me good to unplug.
ReplyDeleteAs for Dr. Phil, who my husband calls Dee Are Phil, pronouncing the letters of his title rather than affording him the courtesy of his profession, he has become a bizarre caricature of his former self. That's why I came up with the idea of a bingo game. Each square contains one of his oft-repeated axioms, declarations, or corny fake self-deprecations. Or, one of the many things and people he shills for. It's more fun than just rolling our eyes and making fun of him.
@Nance et al: Mary Worth Bingo would be an awesome game! It would be hard to limit the number of platitudes to a single card.
