So Larry was without girlfriend. While I had not expected him to be single for long (what a change from the beginning of the year!) I had NOT expected Bob (the baseball captain) to be the next one to ring the bell and ask for Larry.
- Hi, Bob. So you’re taking Larry for a date? Well, you know the rules. Have him back by midnight.
- Eh, Mrs Wilson. Hrm. You misunderstand the situation. I’m only here to pick up Larry since he has no car of his own and we are double dating two cheerleaders tonight. Please be assured Mrs Wilson, I have absolutely no interest in Larry.
At that point Larry came downstairs. I was really not happy that the head cheerleader pushed Larry into being more girly but I had to admit that Larry was gorgeous in that lilac dress.
Looking at Bob I saw that he apparently agreed and I had some doubts about his earlier assertion.

Curb Appeal
Some homes don't sell that well because they have no curb appeal for a number of reasons. Our Larry has been spruced up and the wall flower now has eye appeal. Still no solid leads on where you're going with this puppy? At this point I can't even hazard a guess. Unless...., your choo choo has jumped the track and you're wandering and wondering aimlessly in the wilderness hoping for an inspiration.

Governments toss a lot of money at a problem. Individuals pour a lot of sweat and sleepless nights into a problem.

The End is Neigh
At least that is what my trusted steed claims.
The end is written and will appear (after another short posting) on Sunday. Then you will be able to decide for yourselves where the choo-choo has ended up. Will Bedlam be an appropriate description? And in that case what sense of word?
Larry may have been spruced up but he is no Lärchen Tannenbaum.
Did you swallow the dictionary as a child?

Sometimes I worry about you and several others here on this channel. When I'm not worrying is when I am too busy to think about all the ummm...., unusual people? who populate this scene. I have an excuse for my lack of sense. I fell out of the barn loft on my head.
Hugs Lady, go steal some more military and state secrets to keep your devious little mind occupied.

Maybe I'm bit like an old king
In older schoolbooks he was descbribed as
"Insane himself and surrounded by bad advisors."
Too bad I don't have a pirate sister like he did.
Bob
"...I had some doubts about his earlier assertion." Apparently, so did Bob then. Maybe the four date as a quad.

Inertia
Bob is not ready - yet
I think the appropriate maxim for Bob’s assertion . . .
. . . is the eternal caveat, rebus sic stantibus.

Well, the corally to that is
mutatis mutandis. (In a wider sense than you legals usually use the phrase)
