I went back and checked: the last time anything happened (they found her lost dog) was nineteen days ago. Since then, it's been wall-to-wall talking about how much they love dogs, and there's no sign that it's about to let up.

Following standard Mary Worth scheduling, we've got to rehash this entire ordeal and talk about what we've learned ("Mary! Dogs...good!") and have Saul effusively thank Mary for...something. My guess is that on Friday or Saturday we'll see Mary taking a victory lap with her "special friend" about how SHE solved THIS one, which will probably bleed over into Sunday. (Though my fingers are crossed that Saul will casually mention the "...and then her husband tried to murder her!..." stuff and we'll end on a freeze-frame of Mary looking horrified, like the announcer watching the fatality-heavy "Baseball bloopers" reel in The Naked Gun.) Monday we'll start a banal new "adventure."

This seems more like an old person's idea of what a viral video would be.
This is kinda surprising coming from someone as Online as Jules seems to be. Right ingredients(lots of songs go viral on tiktok but only in little snippets), wrong arrangement.

I was really expecting Axa to leave Dirk behind in the last story, only to find a new man. Her thing seems to be hooking up with steamy jerks, seeing them for what they are and then hooking up with a new steamy jerk.



:lol: It looks kinda bad, but they're flying over a forest, not an ocean, so I think it's just a cartoonish escalation of tossing the rabbit from the car earlier.

When I was a kid we'd trap critters who got places they shouldn't (squirrels and rabbits, general population of both was low enough in our area to bother), drive them about 10 miles outside of town and release them. Bit of a futile effort, we joked that they'd get home before we did, but I just automatically parsed that as what was going on here instead of murder attempts.

Classic Kevin & Kell (May 8-12, 2000), in which Rudy does a really lovely thing.








Reminder: by this point, the social stigma associated with domestication is similar to being gay or HIV positive in the late '80s - early '90s. (Also, please note that apparently everything Vin did was posturing, to hide his insecurity as being domesticated.)

So basically Rudy just outed Vin to everyone (there's even a newspaper article about it!), ruining his reputation and future prospects. Our hero, folks!

Other people have been thrown from helicopters (it shows up in the de Palma Scarface, for instance). I'm speaking from ignorance, but maybe the Japanese far right don't talk about Pinochet's use of it as much as the western far right does. It's just cartoon violence, not politically coded cartoon violence.
