- I'm not really sure where the joke is. Don't you have to actually pay your tax preparer to prepare your taxes? Since I've never really made enough money in my life to require expert tax preparation, I'm not sure how this works. Is there something all that ridiculous about having to pay them prior to preparing your taxes rather than afterwards? We all know the punchline is supposed to be that the Lockhorns have comically mismanaged finances, so I guess this is what happens to those people? A completely underwhelming push to start the day off.
- Amazingly enough this is our first disturbing peek into the Lockhorns bedroom. I found it down right shocking that, given their hateful disposition and characteristic outdatedness, they don't have separate 50s sitcom style beds. While still highly doubtful, the bed sharing still raises the terrifying possibility of activities approaching intimacy. Now that thought will keep me from falling asleep or staying awake (whatever that's supposed to me). It's another befuddling push.
- Of course the Lockhorns being the Lockhorns will, when approached by a poor beggar, instead of sparing some change, use them as a prop in their eternal domestic war of spite. Loretta may have belittled Leroy about his work and won this day's battle, but it seems like merely a matter of time before his bosses realize how useless he is and throw him out on the street and you're out of shoes. Until that day comes, it's Loretta with the first point.
- It seems that counselor Pullman has finally grown weary of the futile exercise that is counseling the Lockhorns. His choice of referrals seem to indicate an excessive level of physical fighting in the marriage. It would appear that Pullman has realized that his weak physique and freakishly shaped head stood little chance in restraining the violence. Of course there's only one ref that can handle a situation like this. It's another push on this push heavy day.
- It's bad enough that Loretta tortures Leroy on a daily basis with her borderline fatal cuisine, their poor friends have to hold back their gag reflexes and choke it down at their dinner parties. While it's nice to see that Leroy is keeping up with relatively current events, one wonders if all this pro-ethanol talk means that he's firmly in the pocket of big corn. Pretty soon, he'll be dropping truth bombs about high-fructose corn syrup on us. Despite the corn message, Leroy salvages the day and manages a draw. It looks like the overwhelming winner today is the push.
Official Count:
Leroy - 21
Loretta - 34
Push - 26
