CrackHo received the news from Mr. Dazzle on Saturday night that he wished to choose the “Release” option under CrackHo’s Catch & Release program (CrackHo runs this program to audition her eligibles). The Catch & Release program’s bylaws state clearly that CrackHo is the one who determines when the “Release” option is triggered, so she was understandably consternated that Mr. Dazzle made such a request.
CrackHo’s theory for this bizarre behavior is that Mr. Dazzle was frightened by the opera they attended this weekend (La Bohѐme). Perhaps Mr. Dazzle became concerned that he, like Rodolfo of said opera, might fall for a blue-eyed lovely who turns out to be ill and then, like Rodolfo, himself turn into a self-absorbed jerk and dump the lovely blue-eyes. Oh wait! Silly CrackHo! That is exactly the way life mimicked art. But we will stop the analogy there as the rest of the plot is Not Applicable.
Needless to say, Mr. Dazzle has been released into the wild where he will have to fend for himself. It’s really more humane that way.
RIP Mr. Dazzle. "Too fast on the river, too slow in love."
No longer Dazzling, he is merely
