Rainman came bustin' in, spouting the same old, same old. Going on and on about some issue from 2003.

So, CT4 reaches over and slaps him upside the head. GC cheers for her, and she takes her bow. She is inspired so much by this, that she writes the new #1 bestseller. And then....

She is hit with a lawsuit from Rainman saying that he suffered permanent neurological damage from the slap. He is also suing for the royalties from her book saying she defamed him.

CT4 ponders this, wondering what she should do. She could certainly agree to a settlement for much less, but the desire to finally expose Rainman for the ahole he really is is overwhelming.

Finally she reaches the decision to...

...settle outside of court. Rainman received a whopping $5,000 to move on with his life.

Meanwhile, Tony B calls BTB to remind her to RSVP for his wedding that is approaching in the next three months. BTB tells Tony that she won't be able to make it, but she will be sending a gift. When BTB calls Delph998 to see if she's coming, Del has a fit because she wasn't invited...

Del hangs up on BTB to call TonyB. Before he can finish daying hello Del lashes out So you're getting married and didn't invite me? I thought we were better than that. It took TonyB a minute to figure out who it was, since Del is usually so cool, calm and collected.

Um, uh, aw, Del stutters TonyB I don't know what happened. I know I put you on the list . Then Tony realizes he really did forget Del's name and why...

Anyway, Tony scratches his head and goes to the phone to call the senior senator from the state of Minnesota to lobby for increased mental health funding because his friend del998 is sorely in need of such.

He calls Del back, apologizes for saying she needed mental health counseling and tells her the reason he didn't invite her. Del calms down and responds...
