Hey, didn't we estimate Fabiana's emerald ring to be about 10 grand as well? They both like music and laughing, and they've both been scammed out of $10,000. So much in common.
Maybe Estelle’s “bad past experience” (and @Scottie McW. is correct - redundant!) was at Aileen’s House o’ Fish, where the “catfish” is Fancy Feast Cod & Shrimp, molded into the shape of a cat.
I expect Mary has moved to an adjacent table and is hiding behind one of those peculiar menus (huge pictures and tiny text) to more closely monitor the Silverdaters.
I don't entirely get the point of KM's spending a whole day on Wilbur and Estelle's menu choices unless it's to show how totally different they are. Kind of like Patty Duke and her Identical Cousin. I can actually SEE a hot dog making Wilbur lose control...
I actually researched minimum ages on senior dating sites. Minimum age ranges all the way from 45 to 70 (45 is a senior?!?) so I guess Wilbur qualifies.
What will Wilbur talk about, his survivor trips? Almost dying on a cruise ship? Or will it be something incredibly boring?
I can't wait for their honeymoon, when they are both in the shower together, singing love songs, with strategically-placed clouds of steam covering all their adult bits.
@LouiseF - I think KM was just looking for a way to cleverly work the word "catfish" into the conversation so we could all sigh "Oh, geesh", accompanied by a unison dramatic eye roll.
Thanks, Steve G for the lead on the definition of "catfishing" in reference to a dating scam. Leave it to KM to seize on the most esoteric and probably least useful piece of information one could pick up about dating scams..Apparently Estelle's love of cats does not extend to being fished for as one.
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.
Today's Boldface Haiku is titled
ReplyDelete"I'd Like To Paraphrase Benjamin Franklin When I Say That This Plot, Like Fish, Begins To Stink After Three Days".
Catfish! I'll. You?
Er...Quiche.
Pass. Bad!
Wilbur ordered fish, but passed on the chips. Bad experience with salsa.

ReplyDelete"I had a bad past experience with it."
"What do you mean?"
"I was conned out of ten thousand dollars. I'm so embarrassed. I was so incredibly stupid. Anything like that ever happen to you?"
"Uh . . . no . . . heh-heh. . . . Uh . . . you know, I've changed my mind. I think I'll have the Triple Mayo Burger instead."

BTW, "past experience" is redundant.

@Nance, you’ve done it again - bravo!
Nance, your BFH title had me do a spit take. Bravo!
ReplyDeleteI've been to burger joints that have fish on the menu (I live in Maine, so fish is ALWAYS on the menu) but catfish, no.
I wish KM would stop using Google Translate with the dialog. "Bad past experience" is something no one would say, ever.
Estelle: "Wilbur have you ever seen the movie "The Wizard of Oz"?"
Wilbur: "Not recently. I've had a bad past experience with anything emerald".

ReplyDeleteKM sneaking in a reference to "Catfishing" - a person creating a fake personality a running a scam, often dating related.
ReplyDeleteFrom the movie, then an MTV show.
@KitKat, @Regina Wolfe-Parks—Thank you! I had a few ideas; glad I went with that one.

ReplyDeleteDumb and Dumber.
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure who is "Dumb" and who is "Dumber."

ReplyDeleteLooks like Estelle and Wilbur opted for small plates and jigsaw-puzzle beverages. They’re also unaware that a UFO is RIGHT BEHIND them!
