Cheer ap, Keptin; n' baw ya flahr orf a pore gel.


Here comes the bride, all orange and wide... And here comes the partially decomposed corpse of the bride and groom's father. While the police puzzle over how long Den's been dead, the rotting having rendered his zombieflesh more like that of a human than when he was alive, upstairs the fallout begins.
Observe the happy couple. Observe Dennis pace the floor obviously straining to demonstrate what a hard man he is by ranting about how he doesn't care, but keeping his "marf" shut for Sharon's sake. Observe Sharon trotting out all the old lines about losing her father twice. See how devastated she is.
But what is this? Dennis suggesting they go on their honeymoon to get away from all the horror, Sharon mutely shaking her orange jowled head and gripping an old picture of Daddy and Princess from the mid-eighties, looking at Dennis like he's just suggested they serve the corpse at the wedding reception. Can this be the first sign of trouble in Incest Paradise?
And as the days and weeks pass, what then? Can it be that Sharon is scarcely any less catatonic than when the body was discovered? Can it be that her failure to recover in any way is beginning to grate upon her new husband? Is it in any way possible that Dennis can't begin to understand why she's so upset, given that Den drove her mother to drink herself to death, abandoned Sharon and let her think he was dead for years, then did his level best to split Sharon and Dennis up?
Do you think there's even the slightest chance that we shall soon hear Dennis cry out "Even dead he's coming between us!"?
Is there remotest possibility that Sharon will be forced to choose, let go of Den or let go of Dennis?
In an infinite universe is there maybe a theoretical probability that Sharon lays a single flower on Den's grave then leaves the square alone in the back of a black cab?
Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.

More importantly why does my header only work for five minutes at a time?
