That video is terrific, Wanders. You made my day! I doubt Wilbur’s coconut is up to this task.
All right, this HAS to be a dream or a drunken fantasy/hallucination. If KM thinks she can have Wilbur Weston climb a palm tree, retrieve coconuts, shimmy down, and open the coconuts, she’s either gone off the deep end or she’s pranking us. That being said, this has been the best plot in ages. Just look how many readers of this blog are weighing in every day!
BTW, a big shoutout to @meg, who predicted Wilbur retrieving coconuts in her comment yesterday afternoon. Yay meg!
Thanks for that video, Wanders. I'm still laughing!
Maybe Wilbur should look around a bit before climbing that tree. He might run into Amelia Earhart. Sure, she was born in 1897 but that still only makes her about the same age as Mary.
Wow! Wilbur is thinking ahead? What next? Does he get a personality? Does he realize the error of his ways? Does he reform? Does he atone? AAAAAAAAAAAWWWWWWWWWW! What am I thinking? I need a break and return to sanity.
First he survives falling 100ft into the water. Then he doesn't drown. Then he lands on an island and still has his glasses. Now he's gonna climb a palm tree? Moy is laughing at us and having a wonderful time.
What of the following possibilities could rescue this story?
1. Weelbur is hallucinating, and those tables and tourists he sees are all in his mind.
2. Those are real tourists, and Weelbur is so shocked at his own stupidity in not having explored the island earlier that he resolves to throw himself into the ocean.
3. In both 1 and 2 above, trying to scramble down the palm tree which he somehow managed to climb, he loses his grip, falls on his head, and dies/develops amnesia.
4. Eshtelle is in one of those tourist chairs, talking to the captain. She looks over his shoulder, shakes her head, squeezes her eyes shut, and takes another peek. “What’s wrong, my darling?” the captain asks her. “I just thought I saw the ghost of Weelbur up in a palm tree,” Eshtelle replies. Poor dear, he must be trying to climb up to heaven. Sigh.”
Whichever answer you prefer, it’s certain Moy and Brigman will do the absolute opposite.
By the way, someone conveniently husked those coconuts for Weelbur! How kind!
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.
Weelbur climbs a palm tree.
ReplyDeleteHe falls from it, on his head.
Readers: “Yay! He has to be dead by now!”
Comics Kondom: “Buy this print of Weelbur falling off the tree! He’s dead this time! We promise!”
Weelbur (wakes up on a Pyongyang street): “Why did I climb the tree? I shouldn’t have fallen off the wagon! Again!”
(If Weelbur gets hold of a coconut he's going to open it with his spectacles.
What? They're indestructible!)
I have coated every trunk with a patented mixture of petroleum jelly and cat urine so there will be no grips to be gotten.
ReplyDeleteFeline revenge!!

Surely he'll get lucky and find a pair of ice skates.

love the video; now all Wilbur has to do is to jury-rig a WiFi receiver and he can pull the video down from the internet
ReplyDeleteWilbutt gonna die.

ReplyDeleteRemember this classic Yosemite Sam bit? Yosemite Wilbur and his coconuts!

@tkraft, that clip made me laugh so hard. Thank you!

ReplyDeleteNow Wilbur is channeling “The Little Engine That Could.” KM has to be pranking us.
I hope Wilbur is allergic to coconuts.
