Transcript:
Gunther: "We haven't budged in 25 minutes!"
Luann: "We'll miss dinner!"
Quill: "Maybe the worst is over"
Quill: "Ok, NOW maybe the worst is over"
Luann: "Maybe you should stop saying that"
I guess when they were hoping to make an impressionâŠâŠ they didnât mean this ! â An impacted structure? Looks like they now have a dent-al appointmentâŠ
âA Bad Case Of CongestionââHit AndâŠ.StayââAppetite For DisruptionââItâs A Nice Day For A âŠWhite LimoâŠââLittle Things Mean A Lot (Of Waiting)ââFender BlenderââIâm So Hungry And Thereâs Nothing But Jamâor âAll Dressed Up And Nowhere To Goâ
Did they have dinner reservations before the dance? Is Gunther calling the restaurant to cancel? Itâs time to raid the mini-bar in the back seat of the limo. Small candy bars cost only $10 each, so chow down!
And we still donât know anything about the accident up ahead that caused the traffic jam, so the welfare of Delta and Bernice remains an open questionâŠ
LOL!!! I was wondering what was going on with your roses! Iâve managed to fertilize mine and spray them for Black Spot and other diseases, bugs, etc. (I donât have much luck with Lady Bugs and such). So far, my French Lace Floribunda is putting on enough leaves that I think I actually might let it keep its buds on (last year I wouldnât let it bloom at all in an effort to encourage leaf growth). Anyway, I can hardly wait until they begin blooming! The first bloom always seems to be the best! ;) And now my Iris are coming up really wellâŠmy daffodils and tulips have put on a good show this year! ;)
âBrought to youâ by⊠â Dent-y More Meat Substitute⊠"For people tired of always âbeefingâ!" â Traffic brand Jams⊠âGreat for âRock and Roll Stewâ, and when youâre hungry, leaves you âFeelinâ Alright!â⊠â and by..Plotzâ Convenience Stores, featuring Plotzâ Devices⊠âWhen you need us, weâll always be still up ahead!â
"LOL! âHouston, youâve got a problemâŠâ^Even their best engineers have been working on it⊠if you notice, thatâs why the space program has been âstalledâ.. they even had to move some people from Florida over to TejasâŠ.
ââIs there any other point to which you would wish todraw to my attention?ââTo the curious incident of the dog in the night-time.â âThe dog did nothing in the night-time.ââThat was the curious incident,â remarked Sherlock Holmes.â
My IS just went nights in her kennel, so I guess she is doing nothing now, too! âNite all! ;)
I dk, not into gaming. Rosaâs dress just looks like a disney princess theme gone wrong. Maybe her unique dress would look better in real life? Most dresses look great as long as they fit correctly.
I am just growing canna lilies for the first time this yearâŠI have found a place for them in a border area. Iâm already dreaming of next yearâs Spring bulbsâŠBreckâs has a tulip variety that looksjust like an ice-cream cone! Last Fall I was in a double-blooming Iris mood, especially for ones with spectacular colors, and so am now waiting to see which color Iris is blooming where (I want to be surprised, so I didnât write down what each color was, although I did arrange them in compatible groupings). I just Love Spring! ;)
" I remember her. Donât Mario and Luigi save her on pretty regular basis?"^LOL!! No, you must be mistaken⊠the princess (you are speaking of) is in another castle!⊠(from the disheartening line Toad says, after you thought you just finished up at the previous castle)
So now theyâll phone Elwood Druitt, who will airlift them to Pitts High in his private helicopter. Hilarious hijinks will, unfortunately, not ensue as he and the Q compete for Ms Inner Beautyâs affections.
Hush, Quill! Luann is right; it could still get worse.Just imagine how much worse it would have been for you all in the pre-cellphone daysâŠ.The girls still look great, and Gunther with his phone may be working on an extraction plan, even if not âhis private helicopter,â to save the day (or evening and night).
Once again, this gang of comic strip characters cannot get some measure of happiness without drama. Umm, what were they doing on the HIGHWAY anyway? Is it really that long a trip between their homes and the school? Soon this strip will start looking like Funky Winkerbean when the cast starts dying off from cancer and car accidents.
If everyoneâs been sitting in traffic for 25 minutes, it takes a real maroon to rear-end the vehicle in front of them.-ââââââââââââââââNow to walk âXâ number of miles in prom shoes.(Is Gunther calling for air support?)
Now if only B&D appear in their tempearmental tiny Toyota, I can see âtold yaâ!â.
*Kids, you donât realize it, but THIS is the kind of thing that makes events memorable. Forget the glamour, the fine meal, the gorgeous gownsâ itâs the problem that gets us emotinally engaged.*BTW, it looks like theyâre the only limo in the traffic snarl. Other kids must have other rides.
The skirt lengths & shapes of the dresses keep changing! Either the dresses are bewitched, or they having an amazing tailor. Look at Luâs dress on Apr. 14.
Well, its not the Atlanta ice strom! So what gives? I thought Pits was a small town. Why are they in the country on a four lane divided highway? Why is traffic stopped in both directions? WHY???
I like the idea of Gunth having his chopper come get them⊠But Iâd bet theyâd not be allowed to leave the scene until they were interviewed by local PD investigating the accident (material witnesses). Plus, I donât see where the chopper could land without them having to take a hike to get to it (and, perhaps very dangerously, having to cross the other side of the highway).
âHighways are usually fast. But just take one or more lanes and it backs up for miles whether a chemical spill or road work etc.â^Youâd think that, huh? âAshburtonâ and I live in the same general area (but in different states), and both of us can tell you allllll about Interstate 95, I-83 and quite a few others. Once you get into the âcityâ portions of an area, you are under the âmercyâ of the current weather/traffic situation, or any construction⊠the buildup and standstill turns into âbottleneckingâ, and it occurs often and routinely, in some areas of the highway, and especially on certain daysâŠ
Until many there realize itâs mostly âcelery sticksâ and âcucumber sandwichesââŠâŠwho wants a cucumber sandwich when youâre stuck for a couple of hours? Now if a Pit BBQ truck was there, people would probably be âgladâ to stop for a few hours and have a little âshindigâ, Lol!
Yeah, it seems so! â Itâs funny where I live, because every time they say: âHereâs the traffic reportâ, I almost tune it out, because itâs so frequent throughout the dayâŠ
Lol! That would be a night that Lu will never forget! -Wonder too, though- we saw the shakiness Quill had when TJ handed him the apron and ran⊠he was greener than the avocado dip! Maybe now, though, heâs got some prepping experience under his belt⊠-But if he makes one more sandwich with Vegemite on it, and it was stopped along the highway, do you think then that the van would then qualify as a âfried out Kombiâ?
Has anyone noticed that Rosaâs dress matches Quillâs cummerbun and Luannâs dress matches Guntherâs tie? I donât think that bodeâs too wellâŠ
Again, they arenât going to Pitt HS (yet). They are going to have dinner in a restaurant first, and then theyâre going to the dance after that. Sure, they could have gone to Weenie World or Burger Box without getting on the freeway, but they might have intended to go to some place fancier downtown instead.
Re: my commentingâŠI have a regular tower that I use exclusively. Donât have a Clue as to why Comics has this glitchâŠand its always with an IJB post⊠Doesnât happen very often, but when it does, it is aggravating⊠;P

Didnât expect the limo itself to be part of the problem! I forgot they were having dinner, too. Things are going from bad to worse⊠;)

Quill, thatâs right up there with ânothing else could go wrongâ for things you should never, ever say.

hankgillette almost 11 years ago
They havenât moved for 25 minutes yet someone rear-ends them? Yes, that always happens.

Great observations and humor this morning.
