Meanwhile on Main Street U.S.A


Yea, you probably should forget the whole thing.  The money you were going to spend on this shindig is much better spent getting Margo to an orthodontist.   She's going to need a bite corrector and braces.  Not that I'm intimately familiar with correcting horrible overbites or anything.

I stand by my previous comments that they're in front of Mr. Rogers's house. Let's hope this is the episode where Mr. Rogers tried to make peanut butter out of peanuts and butter. Margo needs more butter in her peanut butter, if you know what I mean.

Of course Martin and Gabriella aren't the problem, the problem would be Margo.
Meanwhile, in a new level of racy for A3G, Pervy McPurpleman gets a little gropey with Ms. Purpleton's bottom, using the old 'conceal it with a file' trick.

Ha ha, here we are, chatting away, like I did not just go through a psychotic episode... "Oh, mama, that Diane, she is a problem! Martin loves you! [devil's voice] GIVE IT UP, NO ONE CARES! THAT'S A HECK TO THE NO!!!!"

When the heck is this wedding supposed to happen? has anyone done anythng except wander around the city, grumbling about it?

I have another question. Why does Margo repeatedly call her father "Dad" sometimes and "Martin" other times? And why does she call her mother "Gabby" and "Mama"? It seems kind of cheeky to me!

That's a Heck to the NO said...

Hey, I googled "heck to the no" and its a real expression.

Molly: Did you ever see The Brady Bunch Movie? Because you're right, Margo is acting like the new Jan Brady.

True Standish: that's an excellent question, deeply ingrained in A3G lore!

Margo's father Martin was largely absent in her early life, always working to avoid his unhappy marriage with Bobbie "the Bobble" Merrill, fracturing their relationship for years, which led her to impertinently refer to him as "Martin" for a long time. They're mostly pals now though, so she calls him Dad sometimes.

Meanwhile, Margo was raised by Bobbie, but her birth mother was Gabriella, the Magee's pseudo-ethnic housekeeper! Which of course didn't help Bobbie and Martin's marriage, or Margo's relationship with her parents, or anything. Margo didn't know Gabby was her mother until adulthood, and of course in typical Margo fashion it took her a really long time to see Gabriella than anything but a skanky ho-bag maid.
