Read the story and got a pretty good idea why the babe broke up with this fruitloop.
Do you have a citation for that?
I immediately threw them away. I know something like that is poison to a relationship.
I always thought the series should have ended with Stottlemeyer being Trudy's real killer. He could have been wracked with guilt all those years, and completely destroyed when Monk finally finds out.
They could even have planted clues over the years, that the great observer Monk ignored because he could not handle the psychic trauma of what they might indicate.
Now that would have been an ending!
Why would he have killed Trudy?
Going to be difficult to cash in that dinner for 2 at Howard Johnson’s certificate.
Oh, some kind of police scandal. He got mixed up with it, and they threatened his wife, or something.
That is why he always looked after Monk and advocated for him. The guilt.
Yeah...my wife would have either opened it or thrown it away (probably both) in year 1.
I have a box in the garage filled with my “old stuff.” Every time I drag it down from its shelf it gets culled a little. Mostly Boy Scout stuff now.
There is a ritual to purging all of the ex’s stuff.
Trudy was about to expose the conspiracy, so she had to be silenced. Stottlemeyer got the job...
Maybe it is eight of his favorite albums on 8-Track Tape...
He was a smart guy. Well, I would have mailed her crap to her. I meant that I got rid of the pictures and gifts and all. I even changed my phone number and closed my last email account she contacted me on. I even still really liked her at the time, but there are certain things I wouldn’t forgive. I would forgive cheating, before I forgive someone who dumped me (without cause).
Like the FedEx package in the Tom Hanks Movie.
But Stottlemeyer wound up married to Trudy, albeit a different Trudy.
All the more the tragedy.
It would have been legendary television. Instead, they introduced a character in the second-to-last episode to pin it on.
Wimps.
The article was about rental storage units being used by criminals for all kinds of things. I wouldn't be surprised if it came out in the year after the OKC bombing. It started with the story of two young men who bid on the unit's contents in a white elephant sale, where bidders aren't allowed a peek inside, and the only info given is how long someone's paid for the unit & the date of last visit. Since this one had been diligently paid for so long, they figured they'd get a good ROI, but were severely disappointed to find just a lot of junk & low value furnishings. Then they finally unrolled a suspiciously heavy rug buried under the biggest junk pile.....
They might not confess to trashing it. (No, honey, I have no idea where that old present is. Did you check the box with the lights?)
Ha!
Thanks for that.
:)
I like that concept.
Monk at least ended up resolved.
More often than not, I can relate to Adrian many days.
<y brother and I have been gifting the same fruitcake back and forth for 27 years. It still seems to be good.
