	Well, I think we've cleared everyone out of
	Budapest, so let's go to a PV only update!
	


	Hey, anyone tired of this custody battle yet?
	
	Snooz-a-cuda rating: 3 (1 = Santa is coming tomorrow,
	10 = worse than taking Benadryl)
	
	I had a few distractions while watching, so please
	feel free to fill in any gaps I left.

	Two major and 2 minor storyline(s) today.
	There were so many core dumps today that /tmp is full.

1a) Ed clears out of Tempoland, maybe?

	We see Edmundo clearing out his desk at Tempo.
	Everything should fit in one box, since he was never
	there, anyway. Brookster pops in and asks what is going
	on. Ed says he's outta there. Brookster says not so fast,
	fast Eddie, if you can maintain a professional additude
	(i.e., don't chase me, no kidnapping on company time, etc),
	you can still work here, since (of course) Ed is Tempo's
	best writer. During this, Feebs comes in and says to Ed
	"If you cause us any more hurt, I'm going to cut your heart out
	and have Mrs. Valentine serve it on a silver platter."
	[Ed note: Perhaps Langly is hanging with Hannibal Lecther?]
	
	After this, Terrance pops in for advice from Brooke on his
	Letter to Ed. on the race problem at PVU. Brooke says she is
	busy, but refers Ter to Ed.
	
1b) Derick and Mimi do what comes naturally.....

	.....and that is fight. Mimi comes in to the Frye headquarters
	and asks what they want to do, Hang out, rent a movie, or
	"head straight to bed." Derick says wait a minute, you are just
	trying to patch things up. He's still upset by the rejection.
	The whole thing degrades into a huge fight and Mimi storms
	out.
	
2) Doesn't really matter what side you're on.....

	.... especially Haley, who gets a visit from Braindead
	first thing in the AM, thanking her for playing Adam Jr's
	livery driver. She does not want to hear it. Bri leaves,
	Adam arrives, rails on Brian and Dixie, to which Haley
	says she has had enough of this stupid custody battle
	[Ed. none: Ms. Vaughn, you are not alone in this one!]
	and asks Adam if he tinnks about anyone else. She heads off
	to the prepetual PV Hospital AA meeting. Of course she runs into
	Dix there, and Dix asks her to testify for her. she says no.
	
	There is other various custody stuff, nothing new.
	
3) Two men and a Nurse

	Glo is still mussing over that kiss from faux stewart in her
	mind when realStewart (tm) shows up, painting in hand. Lets go
	to our art critic for a review of "Happily ever After"
	
	Happily Ever After is a simple watercolor painted by the
	well known Pine Valley artist Stewart Chandler. This painting
	contains the Artist, seated with a blonde woman (who I think
	I've seen on videotape somewhere). This Blonde woman appears to
	be holding a large persian cat, and off to the left there is
	what appears to be fried egg sandwiches. There appear to be
	wedding rings on both subjects left hands. Strangely, Chandler's
	adopted son, Scott, appears to be nowhere in this painting.
	Well, in this critic's opinion, it's a nice painting, but Mr. Chandler
	is no Jeremy Hunter.
	
	Stewart asks for no answers right now, but is happy to wait.
	
	Next we see Gloria arriving at the Chandler house o' horrors.
	Adam and her exchange insults over that custody thing, than Adam
	forces a kiss on her. Glo responds with a right cross. Adam
	keeps insisting that Glo wants him. She runs out, Adam in persuit.
	
	Haley arrives to find Stewart waiting for Adam. Stewartis looking
	for Adam to give him H-E-Double bamboo poles over TCT
	(That Custody Thing). Haley decides to nap (In the main room
	of Chandlerland), and Stew goos a lookin for Brother Adam.
	
	Meanwhile, Gloria has run into the boathouse (AKA "The
	Boppin' Palace"). Adam chases her inside, kisses her, and
	well, the cliffhanger had those two heading for the cot.

Comments:

	Line of the day goes to Stewart: "Lots of people
	mistake me for Adam and want to remove one of my
	major limbs."
	
	Is it just me, or does it seem like the writing
	has improved over the last 4 months. There seem to
	be lots of killer lines in almost every episode.
	Whoever is responsible for Haley's stuff is on a
	roll, keep it up!
	
	OK folks, I just want to cringe watching the
	Adam, Stu and Glo triangle. You KNOW Stewart
	is gonna have his heart stomped on, and I'm sure
	almost everyone (probably everyone) knows how
	bad that feels in real life. It's just that he
	has no clue, and you know he's going to find them
	doing something he would rather not think about.
	
Unanswered questions:

1) How many times is Adam Chandler physically assualted every week?

2) Why doesn't Livia just subpoena Haley?

3) Has Gloria given Dixie any underwear tips?

4) Has Brian even been to a class at PVU yet?

5) How many dry cleaners are there in PV?

6) How many people have used the Boathouse for a little
   more than storing boats?

6a) Is the boathouse where Dixie lost her virginity?

7) Would Brooke hire any ex-con to give him a second chance?

8) Will Tad say "Not a day goes by that I don't remember how
   Craig Lawson loved a good con?"

9) Did Erica fly back from Budapest First Class or coach?

10) What is on Timmy's Christmas list?

Have Fun! Mary Allison will be filling in for me next week.
