Luann by Greg Evans and Karen Evans for April 12, 2013

Way to nip it in the bud Brad!

Yup.

TJ will be allowed to stay until shortly before the wedding.

Ummmmmmmm TJ sounds like you will need to find a new place to live.

Wedding?…..there won’t be a wedding……..one of them is gonna die in a fire before the wedding.

Time to toss TJ’s grinning mug out the door!

Suuuuuuuuuuure COOK for Three.

Why Not FOUR?

Hell, Shannon’s going…..,

Don’t call me “Sweetheart” before we’ve fallen in love Donny. It’s not appropriate..XOXOXOFauxy

Ok – Got it done! TJ will move to an apartment. AE will be the manager – or live next door???

As I said yesterday, “Move out, TJ!” Two is company, and you as three is just plain creepy!

Time to start apartment hunting, TJ.

Yes, TJ must go………but this does raise an interesting point- who IS going to do the cooking? Toni sucks at it, remember?

Maybe TJ can talk his way into rooming with our friends in Apartment 3-G!http://www.comicstripfan.com/newspaper/a/apartment3g.htm

Yep. This’ll be hard for TJ, since he is expected to be glad for B&T (and he genuinely is), but at the same time they’re going to kick him out of his home, and surely Brad wouldn’t expect TJ to be OK with that. It’s not that TJ can’t afford to move, since he can. He’ll be losing his current home, his good buddy housemate and the social structure/support that entailed, and so on. Further, he just plain will lose his current relationship with Brad. When people get married, all kinds of things change with their friendships and so on. TJ will be all right—but a lot’s going to change for him, not all of it good.

*

I bet, like others here, that he’ll take over Toni’s lease. Or maybe he’ll live above his restaurant. Would Frank and Nancy offer to take him in temporarily while he looked for other housing, or would they think it wouldn’t be appropriate with Luann there?

*

Perhaps his business will finally provide a venue where he could meet a woman his own age and start something cooking there.

come and knock on our door…

TJ must move along! I was pretty sure his cafe would have an apartment for him above it, but maybe not. No matter. He’s out of the house as of the wedding!

Clearly ONE of them is going to have to move out. And since Toni has a place, I don’t think it should be an issue. Either T.J. takes on her apartment, or Brad moves out of the house. Of course, it’s getting clearer and clearer that Brad and Toni will likely end up with the responsibility of raising Shannon. (Which is completely unfair to them. Newly-married saddled with a kid? No way.)

TJ will leave, and I agree with Kenhense, it would be ahoot if AE managed by TJ, w long term lease. This couldbe good. They say payback is what??

Nothing happens to Brad, or Toni. They live long and. prosper, are terribly happy, and have two small children wholook just like them.There is a story about Shannon and adjustment to her newsurroundings. A little nervous about sharing Toni withBwad, but Brad is patient and it turns out fine.

A promotion is in store for Brad,.with new training andresponsibilities. He is juggling this w being newlywed,andfather to Shannon. Also learning to stay neutral in wife and Mother.But it is good. He is with the love of his life, and very happy.P.S.TJ’s restaurant goes big, he gets famous. Uhhhh, he alsoburns the place down, has to start again. But that’ok, he’sT.J. You will be amazed at how he restarts. Off the charts.

…..aaaand there’s twist one: ’ how to remove the third wheel"…. or, alternatively: “how to know when someone doesn’t need another wing, man!” Maybe: “wingectomies made simple”…..

Awww, poor TJ! He hasn’t fully understood everything that this change means. I hope he’s still happy once Brad explains.

Shannon is #3 so He have meant it that way & him #4 But, Brad won’t accept that. No way Jose.

Surprised to see that many didn’t notice TJ was teasing Brad. He knows he has to move out.

Good for you, Brad.

And..it starts.

Awkward with a capital “A.”

I still think Nancy will have a hard time with this, even if Brad thinks she won’t

Brad has gained wisdom.

Do not let TJ in the house with your new family.

I’d take Vegas odds that Brad and Toni don’t tie the knot for at least 5 more years.

Which is, like, 1 more boyfriend in Luann years.

I agree with the consensus here. It makes the most sense for TJ to take over Toni’s lease.

Nancy & Toni buried the hatchet? I wanted to see that.

I’m with the “Take over Toni’s lease” crowd. I doubt AE would magically appear as the new property manager. Now, whether or not she’s the property mgr. for the cafe itself might be interesting!

Anyway, “Full Steam Ahead” Brad. Gotta get Frank/Nancy notified so they don’t hear it 2nd hand. And I’d also be curious as to Shannon’s reaction. Wonder if she’s already painting “her room” in the house. :)

Hopefully T.J. is just making one of his jokes.

Rent Brad’s old room from the DeGroots.

THAT would be a FIRST!

THIS I Gotta See.

So, I’m gonna BREW a Fresh Pot ‘O COFFEEand put out a Pile of FRESH DANISH (ENOUGH for Everyone, Ya’ll) and WATCH.

T.J. creeps me out. So much common sense and so little common sense.

If he holds his peace, he won’t get much chance to hold his piece.

Maybe he’ll be confined to the kitchen.

“Just Toni AND Me!”“And Old TJ Makes Three!”“We’re Livin’ in MY – BLUE HEA-VEN!!!!”

Aj, there’s the discussion we’ve all been expecting. So Toni is going to move in with Brad

Obviously, TJ has never seen the film, “You, And Me, And Dupree”

Why would Brad tell TJ the news before he tells his own parents?

Ahhh, this is what I was talking about regarding T.J.‘s reaction to Brad’s announcement. His eyes didn’t have the look of someone who was thrilled at the news because he’d have to start looking for a new place to live.

So the upshot of this is we are going to have to wait at least another week before we can see the DeGroot’s reaction.

“They would be insane to allow TJ that much into their lives.”

Well Lev, the DeGroots have done it BEFORE, remember?

Remember when TJ burned the Horner House down and the DeGroots, for some strange reason felt sorry for him and took him into their home for a couple of months?And when he got there, remember how he barged in on Nancy while she was taking a bath, and made inappropriate passes at Luann?Yep. SWELL Guy, that TJ. So, I wouldn’t put it pass the DeGroots to welcome him back into their home with open arms all over again. The Saps….,

HA . . . Mr Evans is at it again . . . .Nice . . . .

A bit off topic? TJ gets his cafe started and it’s a huge success until… the Heath Department inspector shows up.. Ready? Because of her food serviceexperience, Ann Eiffel rears her attractive,if reptilian head.

hit the bricks good buddy

I’m more than a little embarrassed to admit I was a follower in my mid-twenties.

I was wondering when that issue would arise

Don’t worry TJ It’ll take them 5 years before they get around to getting married. Toni is hot but she has alot more baggage than meets the eye.

I think BT will have to step lightly with TJ so they can call on him as a backup babysitter. Maybe they have it in mind to use TJ to teach them basic cooking skills. And it’s always a good thing to have a guy you can call on for moving & stuff.

Strictly from Toni’s perspective, it’s good to keep your friends close but your enemies closer.

“…not certain about Brad’s statement that there are no more issues between Nancy and Toni. The ladies did go shopping together, but the ice between them could have been cut with a chisle. I do not recall any strip where Nancy said anything about liking, much less trusting Toni.”.Agree. Since Nancy dropped the “MIL refrigeration bomb” on Toni there’s been no warming of their relationship. In a recent strip Toni impressed upon Brad the importance of family relationships when he last mentioned the “no problem” thing. It was during that conversation that she alluded to the strained relationship twixt she and Nancy. Although Brad is blind to it (as most men are), there ARE issues..That said, I can’t wait to see the look on Nancy’s face.

TJ is just yanking Brad’s chain.

Three’s a crowd

Let’s see…TJCafe…TJ’s Monday Cafe…T’s Good Tuesday Cafe… TG’s It’s Wednesday…TGI Thursday’s… Oh, forget it!.Reminds me of the soft drink entrepreneur. He invented 1 UP and it failed. Then 2 UP – same story. Tried 3 more times with resounding failures & finally thought he had it with 6 UP. But having failed that one, too, he quit. Think how close he was to success!

“Fauxy:
I’m told that everything I do on this board is inappropriate and I tip in quarters so it is what it is. But while we wait for the arc to wind-up in it’s foreseeable, what is the # CFAA?”
.
.Hi Donny. #CFAA: https://www.eff.org/issues/cfaaIt’s important that we all pay this site a visit.
.Donny, maybe everything you do on the boards doesn’t have to be inappropriate. Nobody means to dislike you; it just sorta’ happens.Maybe if you had a place where you could write something to blow off some steam and have a second look at what you’ve written BEFORE you post, your contributions might be better received.
It would be like taking your brain out of the bumper car for a couple of minutes..
To make it a better world for us Donny, I’ve created a gmail account where we can quarrel privately and you can blow off steam before you post.
.
It’s a win-win Donny.

Feel free to write whenever you feel the need – especially if you’re feeling the urge to offer another 10,000 word comment. Help us all out and I’ll promise that unless you give me a really, really good shot I’ll stop trolling you. ’k?

Or, he and the Eiffel Tower could hit it off and move in together.

Only in fanlit would that happen.

I told my friends that even if I do get married they are welcome to stay as long as they please, they are my friends and I treat them like family. Period

exactly why can’t TJ continue to be their room mate?

I’m sayin; T, you got to GO ..

I done had ‘nuff of our Donny when his posts approached 1,000+ words AND it was all incoherent. He was leaving himself wide open for potshots so I didn’t mind takin’ em..I don’t know what I was thinkin’ of him prior to reading one of his missives from start to finish yesterday. Then I started perceiving him as one person tryin’ to drive a track full of bumper cars all at the same time. After realizing that’s the case I was just going to disengage but he started that “Sweetheart” thing this morning and, well, that set me to up & runnin’. I gave him the email address tongue-in-cheek, really hopin’ it was going to tire him out or make him skedaddle..If he gives me an opportunity to stop interacting, I’m all over it. I have so “jumped the snark” that it’s been more than enough for me, us and for them.

“Fauxy::I hate to tell you but I’m like MJ, I freeze when I meet girls…”.Shouldn’t be a problem Donny – I’m not a chick..xoxoxoFauxy

so why do I need a couple of hours to kill to read all of these comments? oh, yeah. Brad and Toni finally got engaged. ....drama drama drama … .and then there’s the comics.
