The Dinette Set by Julie Larson for August 30, 2020

The star is well hidden, but don’t give up.

It’s there…. I found it.

Burl always thinks he’s the star… or at least the most interesting or valuable person in the room.

He can make all the noise he wants … everybody else must be quiet.

I have a neighbor like that… I can hear his TV from my living room, for hours, late at night…

Comes to his door and yells at me, if he thinks I just threw one small can in the recycle bin… sometimes I’m not even out there.

Some sort of glorified self-importance syndrome.

I can’t imagine why the Pennys are even interested in someone else getting an award….

or in what the senator has to say about it.

Did Bob and Jill… or some of Bob and Jill’s friends… invite them to a party at the end, with refreshments?

Nah… who would invite Burl and Joy?

There must be SOMETHING they hope to gain.

I hate when folks bring snacks into a live theatre type environment. No surround sound explosions to hide the crinkling of a Doritos at.Oh and Susan Sunshine is correct, it is there.

That’s a bag of Doritos sitting between them…. They will be gone as soon as it’sempty…!

Actually she has a good point. If she is unable to hear the speaker, it is likely the septuagenarians (likely with 50 years of volunteer service) have a hard time hearing him as well. It would depend on if those 50 years were cumulative or individual accomplishments. And found it.

If there was really a God, the lights would go out for about ten seconds. Have to clean up all the Doritos but worth it.

Amazing that no one in their community has given blowhard Burl an attitude adjustment yet.

Hit him upside head so hard he see stars Like one I found

Next time Burl, bring a bag of pork rinds, I think they crunch a bit louder.

Should we explain ‘eavesdropping’ to Burl? For one thing, it doesn’t involve yelling.

Found the star
