Excuse me, my story is not parody.
It is a serious attempt at fanfiction.  Which bits did you find so funny that you assumed it was parody? ???

A man is in a coma.  That's not funny.  Show some respect.

On with the show folks ...
A little featurette I like to call:

Being Dupree ..
(yes, I am obsessed, you gonna tell me you aint?..  ;D)


The life of Jeremy Dupree must be heaven.  Think about it!

He gets to have




for a boss!  AND he gets to have..




for "Dear Abby" and all-round best-buddy ..


The fact that Jeremy looks like this



and like this




.. when relaxing at home ain't exactly hurting him either!
 
He manages to keep the boys at the Stallion drooling!  Can't say I blame them!

Jeremy is a regular hero, risking his life, saving people from



.. Fighting the boys from the



("Red Bandana Gang" .. the puppy is just modelling it for us) ..

.. Always thinking on the wellbeing of others, that's our Jeremy!

So, everything is peachy in Dupree-ville, right? Wrong!
Matters of the heart, they weigh him down..

First there was Tatiana.



.. Sharp, smart, pretty.  But one bedroom malfunction ended that chapter for Jeremy. (tsk tsk, some people ..)

Then there was Janice, blonde, leggy and quick-tempered ..



..No luck there either, she drew fast conclusions about Jeremy too, especially after she saw him with



.. a new-found friend of Jeremy's and his not-so-secret admirer!


Where does that leave our poor Dupree?  Struggling to balance on a



.. trying to check out the pastures on either side!
Will the grass be greener on one side and not the other?  Remains to be seen!


While we wait for Sanchez to hook him up with a tortilla-making, hot mamacita ..




Or for a greasy (not in character but in appearance) mechanic to make a move ..




Or for a beautiful stranger to enter his life and sweep him off his feet ..




We can all agree that Being Dupree is definitely a hoot!


The End  .. (for now) .. 8)

sorry I didn't see this post earlier, Bob:

What surprised me most:  hm.... I would have to say, Dupree becoming a sleeper Main Character.  He was supposed to be a minor sidekick!

Minor sidekick??   :o  No way Jose! 

gn411:
Louise,  As you know I am a big fan of Ennis and Ellery,  And like Leslie the characters have really become a part of me (to your credit).

I am pleased that the saga succeeded without a soap opera storyline. (important)
I am suprised that after BBM, the way the saga healed me.
I am entertained in the way these characters have become real.
And I am Thankful to Louise for all the above.
