The Born Loser

I’m finding I just can’t hate Les enough. “I won a trip to Kilimanjaro? Why does everything always happen to me?” He even echoes Funky’s “hoping for Disney World” riff from last week.

I was sure that the “Blue Valley Country Club” would turn out to be a Real Place in Ohio. I was close: a Google search for “golf medina ohio” turns up the Blue Heron Golf Club in TB’s hometown. Intriguingly, there is a real-world “Blue Valley Golf and Country Estate“…but it’s in South Africa, a good few thousand miles away from Tanzania.

Coolimanjaro

Les is less than thrilled to learn that his “mystery” destination is Kilimanjaro, but he is cut off in mid-whine by wild-eyed Summer clawing at his shoulder.

In the interview I referred to a few posts ago, TB gave away some previews of FW’s 40th anniversary year. In addition to Les and Summer’s Kilimanjaro trek, he also cites “a storyline in May when a same-sex couple wants to attend the prom together”. Given Summer’s masculine attire, I wonder if she might be one half of that couple?
