    “Hi! I saw this girl, dressed in a super hero costume, stabbing at a sign advertising your storage facility. I instantly thought.. Hey! I should store 4 pool tables with you! Can you take them??”

    This arc has officially crossed over into Fantasy land!! LOL

    Where is Tiff going to store 4 huge pool tables that each weigh a ton?

    So are we to assume Bets had a change of heart, and now wants to help Tiff win the bet?

    Bets and Ox! That would draw attention!

    We haven’t been privy to the answer to Gunther’s question from yesterday.

    Does Bets really want to lose? To room with Stefi?

    Speaking of Stefi. How’s her dance camp going? Will she come back a changed woman?

    It looks like Bets has indeed decided to take Gunther’s suggestion and join forces with Tiffany. So my questions from yesterday remain open: (1) what will they do about Stefani, and (2) who/what will throw a monkey wrench into the business plan? Re (2), to the previous list of possibilities (legal issues; neighbors; Tiff’s dad; burglars; partiers), we can now add a mishap involving pool tables and gravity.

    Two birds. One stone. Good job, Bets.

    (At this rate, a real warehouse would be advisable, though. Even mansions have limits.

    According to my buddy, Google:

    Nowadays, most real estate agents consider homes larger than 7,000 sq ft to be mansions whereas the average American warehousing unit is larger than 25,000 square feet. Only an estimated 35% of warehouses are smaller than this, and about half of the current existing warehouses are 50,001 square feet or larger.)

    Must be tough to be a Bets hater. Gun(ther) appealed to her better spirits, friendship, not competition, and she combines her schtick with Tiff’s placard, helpfully held up by Ox, really pepping up Tiff’s business. There is still the misdirection play waiting but this is evidence of what I say is the beneficial spirit of Luannverse, new characters get improved, for want of a better word. Oh and by the way Bets is drawn to be the hotter babe in Luann, in love with the nerd, and even listens to and admires him!! So hard for anti-Bets haters.

    Well now.

    Bets DID listen to Gunther, and weighed his words carefully.

    And Look! She’s helping her friend, Tiffany!

    As the great Dionne Warwick once sang, ”THAT’S what friends are For!”

    Good show Gunther. Now stay hidden. Because any minute the authorities are going to show up, and shut Tiff’s little “operation” down.

    Somebody is liable to go to jail. So get ready to post bail, Gunth. And maybe (predictably) share some “blame.”

    Hey.

    When the dust settles from this fiasco, maybe the the four you can make a few bucks by starting the “Psychic Friends Network: The Next Generation,” or something.

    Nice to see Bets decide to help Tiffany. Now I wonder, this is happening because Gunther was able to make her understand that they need to collaborate and help each other or that was Bets’ idea from the start? Gunther’s opinions are certainly important to Bets! Very nice to see Tiffany happy. Also, it’s interesting to know that she genuinely thinks Ox’s booty is sweet.

    I stand corrected. Apparently, Bets does want to make it a horse race.

    I still question Tiffs’s business model. Why would people want their stuff stored in “luxe”? I’d think they’d prefer security. Plus, four pool tables would almost take a whole garage.

    Bets needs to be careful – waving a sword around in public can get you shot by the police! And here’s a thought – maybe it’s just as important for Bets to get away from Dez as it is for Tiffany to get rid of Stephanie.

    Bets needs to be careful – waving a sword around in public can get you shot by the police!

    First, as I’ve said above, all Bets needs to do is show the “sword” to the police, and they’ll see immediately that it isn’t real.

    And second, as I also said above, I’m not seeing a “George Floyd”-type scenario happening. And I don’t think Greg would dare to put something that explosive in his strip. He wouldn’t want kids seeing such a scene in the strip.

    As many people ask. How will your Dad feel about his mansion filled with other people’s stuff? And is there a possible zoning issue? This is a residential area. Honestly though, I hope those question don’t arise. I don’t want Tiffany to be dealt a setback. It would be nice if she just got a win.

    While I am glad Bets has had an apparent transformation of her attitude to being “helpful” instead of “competitive”….. I am still worried and concerned that Tiffany is not thinking this through well at all….

    1. Why would she want to store more people’s junk in her “Manse”? It just seems like it would be an annoying mess to deal with, even if it gives her a bit of extra cash. I would think all the dorm kids stuff would have been more than sufficient.

    2. I still have a lingering worry that there will be a dangerous and very problematic break-in at the “Manse” due to the social media presence.

    3. It just FEELS to me that even if there isn’t a robbery….. something about all this is going to go incredibly wrong somehow.

    Agreed. In fact I don’t think there will be much to winding down this story at all. No one will win the bet, in fact the bet will go down the amnesia hole as so many Luann details do. Tiffany might mention her dad making her abandon the warehouse business and Gunther might tell Bets she’s great, but it will all be very anticlimactic.

    Things are so frustrating, it’s time for a Rip Van Winkle/Bobby Ewing moment. A confused Tiffany goes to Dez who brews up an enchanted rain forest cocktail for Tiff who promptly falls asleep. When she wakes up an undetermined period of time later, everyone has changed, and Tiff can’t believe what she sees. Luann is carrying her new baby, Bernice has been married and divorced 3 times, Kip got a football contract , “discovered” Bets, and they moved off to Denver, Broken hearted Gunther was seduced by the rejected Stef and they rushed off to Las Vegas to get married.
