We have our first ever Mary Worth Copycat Crime! I hope the weight of her responsibility in this case doesn't discourage Karen Moy from pursuing more exciting crime stories.

"Better Buy." Get it? It's word play on the popular retail chain "Good Buy." Sadly, "Good Buy" was run out of business by "Better Buy." And soon, "Better Buy" will close its doors when that well known retailer "Even Better Buy" comes to town.

There's nothing I find more exciting than calling my credit card company. Well, maybe watching someone call their credit card company. Or reading a story about it.

"It's my incantation for Substitutiary Locomotion. Treguna Mekoides Tracorum Satis Dee. With this, I'll be able to turn all the zoo animals into soccer players and they'll beat the living blazes out of the New York Blazes. Gina is going to regret skipping town without so much as a thank you note."

Bedknobs and Broomsticks. Anyone? No? Okay... When I post late at night, I get a little obscure, I guess.


Speaking or witchcraft, for your viewing enjoyment, here's a link to the pilot episode of "Once Upon a Time." I've been watching this new series on ABC with my kids and we've been loving it. A lot.

This is exactly the kind of publicity the Lemon Wedge doesn't need. But thank heaven Toby is such an expert on personal security. She'll be a great help to Mary during this time of crisis.

This looks like a job for Chin Napkin! Fortunately, Chin Napkin has not been so bored by this conversation ("I've installed the latest security software. It was an automatic upgrade. I clicked on Approve.") that he missed the two suspicious lowlifes passing unusually close to Mary Worth's purse on their way out of the restaurant. He also observed that they left only a 10 percent tip. Scum bags.
