    Then there was the Christmas Sue and Bob brought a gift but no food!

    Give the Pennys a big break, right here!

    Oh, X …. what a lovely cover.

    I don’t suppose it actually has any content?I mean, all the social graces of Crustwood would fit between page 1 and page…um…1.

    I’ll give it a quick read (I doubt one can give it a long read) so I can review it…

    With a press run of 10 copies I’d better call the bookstore fast before there isn’t one left that the Pennys didn’t sign.

    Reading is one thing, catching Penny cooties is another.

    Wow… Joy’s going to wear antiperspirant AND air out her girdle?For the same night???

    Holy Toledo… if she’s rinsing her bra, as well, it’ll be the trifecta!

    Why would anyone invite the Pennys to a black tie dinner?

    Or a hot dog cook-out?

    Or anything in proximity to food…. or even to themselves?

    Man, the Pennys must have something juicy on them…..

    Oh… and sorry I didn’t get back here in time to say “Congratulations, 2Old!”

    So I’ll say it now:

    “Congratulations, 2Old!”

    Hostess doesn’t start production until next month. Are you sure you have enough Twinkies to spare?

    Plus it will cost you some money, you cheap things.

    If it’s a black tie affair, Burl must either own a tux or plan to rent one…or he’ll borrow Jerry’s, which no doubt hasn’t been dry cleaned in 20 years and smells of mothballs.

    While they muzzle their generosity to prevent embarrassing others, has there ever been a situation that might embarrass them? Of course not, they are so thoughtful and wise, they never make a social foo paw.

    The event I have this coming Saturday has a potluck; I’ll make a full container of my bean salad (because that’s good to share even with folks not on a vegetarian diet) and I’ll take a glass of soy milk and a sliced apple to eat with my portion. I MAY partake of something else too, but I never count on it.

    The event is our annual “Fabric War” where everyone takes their unwanted fabric and related stuff. I have done much sorting in advance and have 2 laundry baskets full of fabrics that no longer interest me. There is also an arts and crafts contest, but I’ll skip that this time as I’ll be busy in the selling room.

    If we get to SEE Joy and Burl at this gala event, will Burl actually BE Black Tie? or by some other definition in their book of Graces.

    Plus the only Hostess gift they would bring anyway if they did would be a box of Hostess Twinkies

    Sue and Bob are having a Black tie dinner? At their kitchen table? Wow! The social life in Crustwood is booming. And I want to be there when Joy’s girdle gives up the ghost and explodes. (little bits of latex everywere)

    I just realized I would already be embarrassed to be at any event that included Burl and Joy, as that would mean the host and hostess considered me in the same grouping. I would become a hermit and go to the store only at night in disguise.

    SUE, this is JOY….. We like Twinkies, HoHos, anything from Taco Bell or McDonalds…. Stoffer’s Lasagna.. and BURL is allergic to cheep wine and paper napkins…….. Can dinner be early because we have to go at 7:00 to BINGO…… ? ! ?
