Mary Worth 3396

I won't be able to call, or write, or email, or Zoom, or Facetime, or anything else, so I'll see you in September. Good luck.

September!
Hold.
Again!
Yep.
(Regret!)

Lyle: “September 2021, that is. See ya!”

Look for me on YouTube during my trial for espionage! I'll be the one handcuffed and blindfolded.

I think the second Lyle left, he immediately blocked Mr. Wynter's phone number, saying to himself "sucker!"

I'm betting he never comes back. I can't wait for Madi to burn down Charterstone. Mary will definitely have something to say about that at the next condo board meeting.

Right now Madi is going through "Uncle Saul's" medicine cabinet looking for Vicodin and Hydrocodone to sell to Tommy for cigarette money.

Hollywood Comes to Santa Royale


The whole town is buzzing with the news that another film in the “Chucky” series is being shot in Santa Royale. The new movie, to be called “Second Cousin of Chucki” features a gender-switching twist: the new “Chucki” is still the same crazed red haired doll, but now she’s a girl doll, who has come to live with her elderly uncle.

Casting is continuing, but a stunt double is being sought for dear old Cousin Sol- he’ll need to be stout and clumsy, with a distinct resemblance to Spencer Tracy. Similarly, an elderly woman with white hair and a smug expression will appear as Chucki’s nemesis and battle rival in this picture. (Doll vs. Battleaxe? Can’t wait.)

There are rumors of a star turn for dogs in which dozens of the little critters will feature in ‘The Running of the Dachshunds’ set piece, but the context of the Run is not yet known. It is, however, believed that only dogs who Woof! will be considered for parts, no yappers or yippers. (Springtime for Wiener Dogs? Stay tuned.)

We don't get to see Madi snarl at her father as he leaves? In fact, she has been absent since appearing at the front door with her suitcase. Just keep her plugged in, Saul, and you'll be fine. Nice job, Nance! "Muffins" works particularly well here, especially when "again" is uttered with a shouted question mark.

@meg, you win the Interwebs twice today for "The Running of the Dachshunds" and "Springtime for Weiner Dogs."

WOOF!

@Louise, yeah, so much for a touching, tearful goodbye hug and kiss between Madi and Lyle, along with whispers of "I'll miss you so much" and "I'll call you as often as I can" and "I'll count the days until I see you again."

These two clearly have no use for each other.

How long before Madi runs away with the first slacker dude she meets?

Saul has unwittingly broken the 11th Commandment of Charterstone: he has failed to inform and involve Mary in his business. When she calls on Saul with a pail of steaming hot Mary-slop, she is surprised when Madi opens the door and walks away without speaking. Mary immediately and delightedly assumes the worst. “Saul, dear, isn’t she a ...little YOUNG for you?”
