Good morning™, buckle lovers!

So, yes, she did ask where they got the key and Shaky quickly came up with an excuse. That’s impressive under the circumstances. Now, what about the arm?

By the way, avenger09, now the cloth that was resting on her wrist has slid down to the crook of Crystal’s elbow. It didn’t disappear after all.

Crystal is playing coy. ✨

And that’s why you always change the locks when you move into a house.

Good morning™, quick thinkers !

Nice and smooth guys and you’ll sail right through. You just need a another believable line to clear.

I can’t stop seeing Crystal’s nostrils as her eyes.

NOW I no what she was polishing! A belt buckle collection-interesting!

How is Shaky going to explain the arm? Should prove interesting!

I like the fact that the only one whose eyes can be seen is Shaky…

How will the belt buckle and/or collection figure into the rest of the story?

Ghost of Christmas past? Coming into Ghost of Christmas “Yet to come” Lie, upon lie, upon lie. Shaky’s world is crumbling now. How will this end?

Riffin’ Without A Script gets bawdy

1-WHATSRNAME: Jay’s pee pee is only this big.

2-CRYSTAL BETH: Maybe this magic amulet will help that. I was given it as a toddler and ever since then I’ve grown larger and larger!

3-JAY: I think you should wear it under a hat because your brain hasn’t kept pace.

CRYSTL BETH: Fine. Ignore empirical evidence. Your loss.

WHATSRNAME: Sigh. And mine…

meanwhile Tess lies near death

Yeah, where’s Tess. Are we looking at a potential Rex Morgan crossover to save her?

Are we heading to a Once Upon A Time In Hollywood climax here?

Oh the arm? Hunting accident….

Silver polish will surely play an important roll in the breaking of this caper.

Crystal is very direct and honest, to the point of being blunt. I think that is throwing Shaky and Edison off balance….

Behind every bumbling con man there’s a reasonable woman.Edison knows how to cool down boiling hot water.Hopefully,Crystal is just PLAYING dumb.
