Cul de Sac by Richard Thompson for September 16, 2009
Transcript:
Alice: Mom! Guess what! Miss Bliss got engaged! Mom: Oh, no. Is it to Timmy Fretwork again? Alice: She'll need a flower girl soon. I'll have to practice throwing flowers at people. Mom: They were engaged when Petey went to Blisshaven. Alice: You aim for the face, right? Mom: I really don't look forward to going through that again.

Miss Bliss seems to be the Miss Havisham of Cul de Sac.

Given what’s been said about this guy, Mom should tell Alice not to waste her time practicing.

Aiming for the face it the only thing that makes sense.

So Petey is also a product of Blisshaven. Mom has the inside info (they usually do).

Perhaps a federal investigation of Miss Bliss and her preschool operation would reveal some very disturbing things.

Alice, have you forgotten? You can’t tie a banjo man down…

I think Mrs. Otterloop may have painful memories of a Banjo Man in her OWN past. That’s why Miss Bliss’s engagement to Timmy Fretwork distresses her so much.
By the way, Steve Martin will performing (music, not stand-up) at the Hardly Strictly Bluegrass Festival in Golden Gate Park next month. At least, he’s EXPECTED to appear, but who can say for sure? You can’t tie down a Banjo Man.

If Timmy Fretwork has used the same engagement ring over and over, maybe he’s just “being green” and recycling — ok as long as the ring doesn’t turn Miss Bliss’ finger green :)
And Alice, go for the face – I mean people will really remember that!
