Iris certainly took the high road by ignoring Wilbur's snide "boy toy" crack. Pity. It would have been great if she had leveled old Tubby with a withering put-down.
And okay, I get that this encounter is a little awkward and that maybe Wilbur's not great a small talk, but the only thing he can say about Estelle is where they're going to eat? Sheesh.
I hope both couples go to the new Thai restaurant on Elm Street at the same time so that Iris and Wilbur can stick it to each other by engaging in inappropriate and conspicuous public displays of lust with their partners and that their partners, particularly Estelle, are completely appalled by it. Come on, Moy, we need some truly spiteful drama between these two.
Wilbur: "I'll have the Pad Thai, THREE stars!" Iris: "Wilbur, did you take your Nexium? You know spicy food gives you gastric reflux. Waiter, I'll have the Pad See Ew." Wilbur: "Really, Iris? I'm surprised. Doesn't oyster sauce make you pass gas? I didn't see you buy Beano at Palgreens."
Zak (who of course can eat anything): I’ll have the sai mu thot, Five Star Native Thai style.
Estelle: WOW, Zak, that was my late husband’s favorite, too! In fact, that’s what he ordered on the evening before his untimely death. Make it two, server, and don’t spare the hot chilis.
Meanwhile, at a nearby table: Mary: I’ll have the chow mein and egg rolls. Jeff: Is the salmon fresh? (So fresh it’ll slap yo’ Mama!)
Wow, can't Wilbur have a smug conversation without bringing food into it? I can see him at the Thai restaurant, asking why a mayonnaise sandwich isn't on the menu.
I was hoping Iris would come back with a snappy comment with Wilbur's "boy toy" comment, but as usual, KM disappoints us all.
Wilbur says he's glad that Iris is still with Zak and rubs it in that he's seeing someone, as if Iris is going to take Tubbo back. I mean, what woman WOULDN'T want him? Thinking back to Fabiana, that poor woman EARNED that ring after having to put up with Wilbur.
I think Palgreens is trying to tell Wilbur something. Perhaps they noticed his combover was looking on the little greasy side and are giving him a subtle hint.
Tim - Good point about Wilbur's height. If the foursome do have dinner together, Wilbur might not want to bring attention to himself by ordering shrimp.
They should invite Dawn, and she can bring her laptop and have Hugo join them via Skype. He can introduce himself all around and tell everyone how the Thai restaurants in Paris are so much superior to those on Elm Street.
we missed the obvious pun --a nightmare on elm street? Wilbur slashes at Zak with his freddy Kruger persoma --and embarrasses hiimsekf --zak gets the ménage a trois
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.
Great comeback, Iris. We're all impressed by your quick-wit.

With! Pharmacy.
Oh! Glad, new...
Great! Estelle Thai restaurant!
Zak try!
“And that’s not all - Estelle has a cat that sings with us!”
ReplyDeleteAnother BFH home run, Nance!
I wonder if they've nailed down which day next week or if it's still just some vague plan.
ReplyDeleteOh, this could be hilarious! It won’t be, of course, but isn’t that our job?

Please please please take Libby to the new Thai restaurant on Elm Street. She'll be surprised at some of the items on the menu. And not in a good way.

I hear the tahini sauce at the new Thai restaurant on Elm Street is great!
ReplyDeleteJudging by the second panel Repulsive Wilbur, who still thinks Iris belongs to him, can't be more than four feet tall.

ReplyDeleteI'm still struggling to move past the orange safety cone shampoos. Not ready for that new Thai restaurant on Elm yet.
