London U
Okay… there is a real Goodenough College in London… and I couldn’t pass it up for a funny! It’s probably not pronounced Good Enough… but, again… too funny. Gah, I love the Brits and their funny names!

I found two different pronunciations for Goodenough, so I gave up 🙂
What I did discover, though, is that Goodenough College is not a college…
Poor, Rye-bread. He’s discovering there’s a price to be paid for this romance. And that’s he’s going to be WITH Em, but IN her shadow.
I liked the name Wossamotta U, the ficitional Rocky & Bullwinkle university.
Yah, poor Rye, he may be committing to a lifetime ride on the multi-tasking Em rollercoaster.
What doctoral program? Can’t she telecommute?
Is Rye doomed to be known as “Em’s Hubby” to all of her ambitious, motivated friends?
Seems like Rye’s gonna need to multi-task also to fill many empty times to come.
Lucky for him he’s got Randie.
Sad for Em too, you’d think with her smarts and wealth that she’d hear from Bestof U.
…or maybe this signals the death knell of Ryan and Emily’s whirlwind romance.
Another good university name for the elite, Betterthan U.
I’m not sure that Ryan and Emily will give up that easily. For one thing, why would Ryan pass up the chance to craft long, highly-literate love letters? 🙂
But long-distance relationships definitely aren’t easy. Trust me on this.
Randie graduated from Slug U. (or UC Slug… appropriately named for the cuddly little yellow creatures that can be found on campus)… those other universities make me chuckle. They remind me of the names on the Big Thunder Railroad ride at the House of Mouse in Anaheim. I.M. Bold comes to mind.
Emily’s research has to do with her book. She is becoming a leading expert on Jack the Ripper (cheery comic subject, eh?)… but it is a side note to her writing her novel based on the time period. Think big ol’ fat epic novel like Anne Rice’s Vampire stories…. (Interview with a Vampire, etc.)
As far as Em & Ryan and their relationship… the story continues…
I feel kinda bad, the first thing I thought about after reading this was how surprised I was that Randie owned a watch.
Brig,
Wow, so Em’s another one of those women fascinated by and sending marriage proposals to the likes of Scott Peterson, Charlie Manson, and the like? Good thing that Jack Da Ripper is long gone and, uh, no longer available. Funny, she does not seem like the prison yard conjugal visit type, but it is said that “still waters run deep.” Does she see something, ala serial killer…ala that Showtime Dexter series, in Ryan that all the rest of the world seems to be missing? Well, she is supposed to be an expert and all. Or maybe he’s a pawn.
Hmm, so bodies are going to start popping up in the bay. Who will be responsible? Clues may point to Ryan. Meanwhile, Emily will be doing research in London…or is that just a cover?
Max,
(chuckle) Hey, wadjaknow, she’s a leftie also.
Stick: Are you and I reading different versions of the comic strip? If so, I think Brig is being somewhat unfair by not sharing the other version with the rest of us… How can you possibly infer from Emily’s interest in the Jack the Ripper events that she’s someone who’s interested in dating murderers?
I was going to make a comparison to ram the point home, but restraint kicked in.
Astra,
Just reading between the lines and filling in the spaces.
She wouldn’t be the first, and she wouldn’t be the last.
Sorry that you’re not finding any humor in my ponderings.
Ram the point home, you say. Ouch, I say.
