Brad: "What's all this?"
Mom: "We're buying the old warehouse and turning it into a hapenin' arts scene!"
Brad: "Ha! Good one! No, really. What are you doing?"

This could be a pretty good segue into Brad “slipping” the idea of the “$60,000 question”… in reference to TJ’s “seed money” for the place…. – Wonder if between the three of them, the idea of a possible wedding venue for Brad and Toni would bubble forth? As long as it could possibly take for them to get the place built, it’ll probably take as long for the wedding, anyway… – (The “royal” Degroots, in response to Brad’s laughter:) “We are not amused!….”
Please get married already, Brad. Just wear Toni down until she agrees on a date. It would at least give your parents time to come up with a new hobby.
When even Bwad laughs at your idea it’s probably time to realise you need to step back while you still can. This being Evansland, of course, this’ll just join the unending series of unresolved plots while next week Ms Inner Beauty goes back to Tiff-humiliation, to the loud approbation of the Trufans here.
“Okay Son, You GOT Us. “WE” are going to PRETEND to Build an Art Museum/COFFEE/Mud Wrestling/Strip Club using Old Smiley’s Money. THEN, “WE” Are going to have the place Burned to Ground and Collect the Insurance Money and FRAME TJ for Starting the Fire. And Then While “HE” is spending the Next 25 Years in Jail (As “HE” So RICHLY Deserves), “WE” are going to Retire to the Beaches of Rio, Where “I” Will spend the REST of My Days Eye-Balling Topless, Bountiful Babes, While Your Mom’s is NOT Looking. Are You WITH “US” Oh Fruit of Out Loins???" – Frank DeGroot
That brings to mind another one: “Total Eclipse Of The Art”…– Looking at Brad’s reaction, he probably takes it as more of a “Hullaballo”, than a “Happening”, right now(Heh, heh!)….– I’m hoping that somehow, tomorrow, between them, it’ll be enough to power the collective “light bulb” so that they can go about mentioning how they made a deal with TJ, which would lead to Brad’s revisiting his previous suspicions….
I still haven’t figured how Frank’s mid-life crisis “dream” (has he ever had it before?) has roped Nancy into the idea that their entire life savings and house (as collateral) should be risked on this venture.

And if you look closely at the “tickler file” in the last panel, it suddenly becomes a “good question”…. (“IDEAS?”)

maybe they will have the reception of the wedding at the new place since it allows TJ to cater food

Yep, I saw that. Sometimes there are good ideas, sometimes there are bad ideas..Hmmm – Is no idea better than a bad idea?

If their warehouse idea is a success, they will have no problem buying T.J. out. His $65,000 isn’t that much when buying real estate.

Right, Brad. I’d probably have the same reaction if my parents announced such a dubious intention. Help stop the madness! Don’t send TJ to them!

TJ didn’t burn the truck on purpose. He just exulted when the insurance paid for the loss. That’s why Brad thought he did it on purpose.

Shows how well Brad was paying attention back at Haloween.
