Mary Worth 3528

Yes, Tommy was promoted, and Brandy was overlooked once again. It's difficult being a sometimes-Black woman in the workplace.

Today's Boldface Haiku is titled

"Tommy Thinks He Might Be Pregnant".

Thankful...together.
Too!
Good news. Wait!
Is?

Hahahahaha @Nance, that was my immediate thought too! My runners-up:

“Babe, I spray-painted chunks of Mary’s awful cobbler and glued glitter on to make ornaments for our tree!”

“Babe, I used my employee discount to buy seven cases of Freda’s smoked salmon. It’s the best in town!”

“Babe, I got myself a Christmas t-shirt - it’s green on the front and on the right sleeve and red on the back and on the left sleeve!”

BTW, are they at Brandy’s place or at Iris’s abandoned apartment?

"Mary got me a job with Amway! And you'll be my first customer! Isn't that exciting? I'm an Associate!!! Here are a couple of catalogs for you to go through. I know you'll find them really useful because, let's face it, you could use some beauty products. And here's another catalog for housewares that you can buy for me for Christmas since all I own is a bowl and spoon. Boy, isn't this going to be the best Christmas ever?!!!"

Great comments, everybody, as usual.

Here's my 'Tommy newsflash':

"Bossman wants me to stack a tower of brussels sprouts and cranberries! Now I understand what Mom meant when she told me 'rack 'em, whack 'em, pack 'em and stack 'em!'"

Tommy proudly shows off his new 'Brandy 4-Ever' tattoo with the colorful stylized onion ring artfully and tastefully encircling her name.

Great news, Brandy. The network has greenlighted a new sitcom "Brandy loves Tommy", the ultimate show about nothing. They have signed on Betty White (Mary Worth) and Danny DeVito(Wilbur Wesson) in recurring roles. They will cast Brandy once they figure out what ethnicity you are.

"Boss was so pleased with that olive oil display, he gave me my Christmas bonus early this year. Thirty whole dollars! Now that we're back together and we aren't broken up anymore, we can take that trip to Goleta that we've always dreamed about, seeing that we're together again, and even though it's late, it's still better than never or being broken up and not together anymore, right?

KitKat - For some inexplicable reason, the Babes appear to be setting that tree up at Mary’s apartment. Unless, of course, every apartment at Charterstone comes furnished with a brown couch and orange striped pillows.

Shout out to Regina Wolfe-Parks – haven’t seen you around for awhile, kiddo. Everything okay?

Assuming Tommy and Brandy do, in fact, go on to get married and live a long and happy life together Tommy will say the words "now that we're back together" on their 25th anniversary.

Think I'm losing it... I looked at Tommy and Brandy's bare Christmas tree and thought, "Ooh, I have some ornaments I could really get rid of and give to these two!!". Reality checm, Louise: They are COMIC STRIP CHARACTERS!!. Guess I'll have to have that yard sale after all, once we have a vaccine for COVID 19.

Early Wednesday comment: (Not even getting into the issue of a known addict working at a school) but, "Fantastic" really sinks down in the world when applied to "work at school in the morning and the grocery store in the afternoon and evening!" But maybe the use of "Babe!" bumps it back up. :)
