Oh, don’t give T.J. any ideas, Mr. DeGroot.

So the settlement wasn’t due to any votes, but just so that TJ could have a run in a story.. – It seems appropriate (although probably not deliberately done for this), that TJ’s jacket is “chequered”… as in “a checkered history”… – This story plot potential seems like a volleyball score, also relating to TJ’s specialty- a “set-up” and “serve”!

Crazy?Like some of the car dealers of my youth?

Mr. Degroot, you have just channeled the POWAH of the Dark Side. You shall live to regret it forever.

And yet another warehouse in the run-down district will get torched for the insurance. Maybe Dez and her friends back at Moony are having a Halloween celebration that’s not centered on planning a felony. Let’s go see, OK? Enough’s emough, of this same old crew.
LeoAutodidact over 10 years ago
I smell a “Dinner-Theatre” in the budding!
Who do you have to bribe to get re-zoned in this town?
Meh~tdology, fka Pepelaputr over 10 years ago
This old warehouse has the potential to never pay for itself.
ORMouseworks over 10 years ago
Its nice and comfortable to see the old crowd interacting with each other… I really did not care for Dez and company… ;)
JayBluE over 10 years ago
A slight “Charlie Brown return”, in the form of Frank’s sweater….

The graphpaper jacket would also blend in well at a “square dance”……
JayBluE over 10 years ago
“Plotting.” ^
Ha ha ha ha ha!!!!
ORMouseworks over 10 years ago
“Plotting” …you know, I wonder if Greg had that in mind when he drew TJ’s clothes… =-O
Meh~tdology, fka Pepelaputr over 10 years ago
Knute : “This place needs snacks.”Tiffany , wasn’t that YOUR department?
ORMouseworks over 10 years ago
Graph paper and “‘square dance’”…Hahahaha! ;)
JayBluE over 10 years ago
LOL, True!!!
ORMouseworks over 10 years ago
Hehehehehehe! ;)

A sure fire way to not make money: Open up a live theater place. Totally a Labor of Love. Also I’m not sure TJ can get insurance…
peanuts511 over 10 years ago
PLEASE DON’T TELL ME TJ’S THAT CRAZY ENTREPENUER WITH MONEY!!
ORMouseworks over 10 years ago
Hahahahahahahahahha!!! ;)
ManateeGag over 10 years ago
Great, another place for TJ to burn down when it runs it into the ground.
ORMouseworks over 10 years ago
Gosh, you two are on a Roll tonight! ;)

I smell a TJ-themed plot coming up

Works for tea parties!

Well, as much as I am enjoying the heck out of today’s comments, need to go as company is coming over later on in the day (Saturday). ’Nite all! ;)-——————————————————————“My heart leaps up when I behold A rainbow in the sky: So was it when my life began; So is it now I am a man; So be it when I shall grow old, Or let me die! The Child is father of the Man; And I could wish my days to be Bound each to each by natural piety.”(William Wordsworth, 1770-1850)

Buenos Noches everyone!

Nancy’s got her (sorta adoptive) Mom radar going – she’s looking at TJ and thinking “oh no… not again.”

after all, there can always be a fire in the theater’s future

What light through yonder window breaks? It is the east, and Juliet is the son..Funny, I always thought Juliet was a girl..Well, probably not in the early days…“At the Restoration in 1660, Shakespeare’s plays were divided between the two newly licensed companies: the King’s Company of Thomas Killigrew and the Duke’s Men of William Davenant. The licensing system prevailed for two centuries…innovation was the order of the day for Restoration companies. John Downes reports that the King’s Men initially included some Caroline actors… Perhaps most noticeably, boy players were replaced by actresses.”

I like how Mom DeGroot already has figured it out.
JimT8 over 10 years ago
TJ can lease it, requiring the owner to bring it up to code.
StoicLion1973 over 10 years ago
TJ has the mind of an entrepreneur but not the drive of a business owner. But, with the right incentive (and partner(s)) this could be interesting!

Can we put this “TJ hatches another scheme” story on the shelf now and finally see Luann in her community college next week? Or was her answering a role and sitting on wet grass all that we’ll ever know of her “college experience”?
vldazzle over 10 years ago
I agree- good to see that Dez and friends were a no-show. Of COURSE, T.J. will invest his insurance money in this enterprise and use it for a party and theater place.
I have to share my Halloween photo (taken by a neighbor last night):

seismic-2, you take this strip WAY too seriously… lighten the hell up, man.

Leo autrodidact asked: I smell a “Dinner-Theatre” in the budding! Who do you have to bribe to get re-zoned in this town?
answer: Tiffany’s father.

I think TJ could handle all their ideas.

Seems like everyone is overlooking the unseen Dez!What can happen when Dez meets TJ?Taa Daa . . . . .

How long before he gets bored with it and the building mysteriously burns down?
Sheriff Mordecai Premium Member over 10 years ago
Why would you jump on a poor misunderstood kid like TJ who has many more demons to overcome than your beloved Tiffany? All Tiff needs is my recommended dousing of assorted coldcut rejects and she learns humility and empathy for the downtrodden. Whereas TJ has clinical needs to scam and speculate in order to learn the Path to Enlightenment. Your recommendation to incinerate is harsh.
muneflauer over 10 years ago
Go T.J. Go!!
Sisyphos over 10 years ago
Oh, geesh!It looks as though TJ has already found another way to lose other people’s money! Frank, you have cursed this crew! Too late, Nancy, too late!Okay, everbody pitch in; TJ, take credit for the brief initial success and then duck aside when it all goes south and let the pies hit everyone else’s face….I give it half a year.

Don’t knock the Knute………..he’s the guy with the girl with the cleavage.
boldyuma over 10 years ago
He;s right..Hot tub for the youngen’s..Sitz bath fer the Elders..
David Rickard Premium Member over 10 years ago
I’ll place my bet: I say it takes TJ 6 months to convert the theater into a restaurant, drive the business into the ground, then suffer an ‘inexplicable’ gas leak/explosion.
thefloyd over 10 years ago
YES! TJ will rock this place. This is just the kind of thing he needs.
RonBerg13 Premium Member over 10 years ago
Crystal’s costume is awesome.

What can happen when Dez meets TJ?Wen the insufferable force meets the invisible object?

As the bowl of petunias said, “Oh no. Not again.”

I’m so square, if I took LSD, remember? I’d see nothing but Guy Lombardo and the Royal Canadian’s.

Better choose a different insurance company, TJ, cause, well, you know…

Knute also has “the eternal sunshine of the spotless mind”.

I think Dora needs an intervention… – Anytime she asks someone a question, and then she ignores it and does what she wants, anyway… Plus, anyone who runs into foxes, cows, plus umpteen mountains, talking trees, talking maps, etc. has got to be helped…
