April 12, 2009: Sunday Showdown!

(Click to enlarge)

Clockwise from the bottom left:
  • I must commend Leroy on a quality double dose of disrespect to kick off the showdown. Not only is he flagrantly insulting his wife by going out of his way to be chivalrous to the impossibly proportioned model type woman in front of her, the real kicker that he is using her very coat to accomplish it. Nothing like ruining your wife's self esteem and her clothes at the same time. It's almost worth two points for Leroy all together.
  • Calling the mother-in-law a straight up bitch, crude but still quite effective. You better believe Leroy intentionally said it as loud as possible so Loretta's mother could hear it as well. Loretta is angry, Loretta's mom is angry; it's another quality double play. Leroy storms out of the gate with some of his most effective points yet.
  • Based on the facial expressions, I think I may have to give this one to Leroy as well. Loretta really must have had her heart set for a nice evening out to the concert hall, getting her hair all boxed up and puting on her most elegant mauve muumuu. However she should know better by now that bringing Leroy along to any cultural event automatically ruins it. Leroy clinches.
  • I always wonder what Leroy must be talking about that causes so many frequent angry moments and conversations at these dinner parties. Is it his bitterly pessimistic view on marriage? His cold nihilist view of the world? Perhaps maybe some outdated racist comments? Whatever it is, it keeps Loretta rolling in the points.
  • Looks like the Lockhorns are turning their trenchant, topical, wit away from each other and really socking it to the American Healthcare System. This totally would have been funnier if the carriage van said "morgue". With that push, Leroy official wins the day with a commanding 3 to 1 margin.
Official Count:
Leroy - 28
Loretta - 39
Push - 35
