Ahhhhhh!!! I’ve read this far just to find out this is a CLIFF-HANGER?? Nooooooo0ooooooo!! Must. Have. Daily Fix. Of MC Thread. I think the fact that MC had to ask whoever she was with if there was a Western Union “here” tells me that she’s in a place that is too small or too remote to have a Western Union. A foreign country maybe? Just trying to add a little international intrique here…as if this thread needed any more intrigue. ---

EEEEK!! I’ve finally figured it out!! The villain is **DA DA DAAAAAAA** **Skip Magic.** He used MC as a way to throw suspicion off himself for when he goes after his actual target, **auntie em**! Getting her to up the insurance policy money, after which he bumps her off, runs of to Sweden, has a sex change operation (see above post re: Boobies), and comes back as a CINEMAX SOFT PORN ACTRESS!!! ---

I mean, really, if motive is what you’re looking for here, I think you’ll need to focus on what’s important. Which is: a Batgirl suit. With a cape. As tempting as a Swedish sex change operation sounds, it has nothing when compared to Yvonne Craig’s inspired wardrobe. _Fly little Batgirl, fly!_ ---

Auntie em = Halle Berry. It’s true! But Auntie makes better burgers (yeah, I’ve tried Halle’s. Prove me wrong!) This has been one wacky roller coaster. I laughed. I cried. I threw up on myself on two non-consecutive occassions. Fun times. ---

Never, ever have I seen a thread that had Dopers getting up early and gathering around like a crowd on the street waiting for the next update with fish breath – I mean, “with baited breath” – I mean, “with BATED breath.” Gah! I can’t believe I have to wait until Friday afternoon or maybe even Monday!!! Hey, CGI technology is pretty good these days. Can’t we cast the whole movie with dead people? Then we can have Bogart as the detective. ---

Another lurker checking in… Here’s my theory: Creepy exboyfriend _The Trucker_ had something **big** on MC… he forced her to marrier him, then made her run off with him and is making her call all her friends to get them to WU her $… Whaddya think? ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Brynda \* > **Ok, I gotta know–what was the original title of this thread?** Trivia note about the board: The title of the thread is copied as the subject of the OP. Therefore, whenever the mods change the thread title, you can (almost always) see the original title as the subject line over the original message. In this case, that would be “**OH MY FUCKING GOD!!! (Missing Coworker, Part II)**,” which was leading many people to think the missing co-worker had been found stuffed into the cardboard crusher or some similarly lurid development. ---

Speaking of Work My boss who was away all week comes back just in time to see me posting like a manic. Thank god I had a bunch of work done and on his desk and only got a weird look ``` ***Note**** ``` ## ALWAYS keep a work related webpage open to alt+tab to in a heart beat. > [@](#): > > - Originally posted by Bad News Baboon \* > > Here is a shot of us dopers. Listening in anticipation. (the famous MonkeyMule playing himself is circled) Pure Genius. Tips hat to The bad News Baboon! Us Simians have to stick together. **SkipMagic** should be played by None other the Matt Damon. He’s a good looking white guy _this does not make me gay_ with broadish shoulders. He can dye his hair as needed. I also feel that tongue lady should be played by any one of the Golden Girls, or _Chris Farley_. I for one am happy for the break from this thread. \*\*I CAN GET SOME WORK DONE NOW!!! \*\* And as a last treat, let me say that the 2 threads (at the time of composing this post) have a combined view to post ratio of 31.76 to 1. We really need to get lives/laid. Well at least Skip get to have the heroine, I am not so lucky. Damn it, I should have held out for script approval :smack: ---

Now, figuring that MC will come waltzing in acting like nothing ever happened and then say “Whaddya mean, fired?!”, perhaps we should help plan a suitable reception for her return to the office (a scenario I’d much rather see than the one I painted in my earlier post). Maybe tell her she’s been reassigned to the Elkhorn, Wisconsin branch. ---
