(Click to enlarge)Clockwise from the bottom left:
- Loretta brings on a full force smackdown on Leroy. Not only has she thoroughly emasculated him by besting him at the links, she then calls out his pathetic attempts to cheat on the scorecard with a sharply placed double entendre. Blowouts don't come any bigger than this. Of course Leroy's real best lie is when he tells himself every morning to get out of bed: that his life is worth living. Opening point goes to Loretta.
- Leroy takes spiteful pleasure in flaunting to Loretta that despite her best efforts to poison him, he remains unscathed. It's one of the few things in Leroy's wretched suburban existence that actually brings him joy. Every horrible tasting, oddly colored spoonful he manages to choke down is an indictment on Loretta's failure at mariticide. Leroy comes back to tie.
- Since the electronic automatic teller machine was introduced around the late 60s, it appears that it is just another piece of new fangled modern technology that the Lockhorns are woefully unfamiliar with. They'll no doubt afterwords look for the pneumatic tube where they can send a message to the operator on the otherline. Also, shouldn't three cherries indicate that the machine going to give the Lockhorns a bunch of money or something? A bewildering push.
- Shouldn't the phrase be more like "it was like every waking moment of our lives together..."? How was this experience different from all the other moments they've spent together? At least we now know that the Lockhorns marriage didn't gradually fall out of love over the years but that they hated each other apparently since the moment they were inexplicably married. Leroy gets the lead.
- Is this a case of Leroy's trademark toxic personality alienating the Lockhorns from the local "Cost Mart"? Or is it a cleverly planned ruse to prevent another Loretta shopping spree at a store? Perhaps a little bit of both? Now Loretta could have scored herself a point by exploiting this embarrassing social incident, but she just objectively comments on her observations and keeps the whole thing a push. With that Leroy turns in a solid performance and takes the day 2-1.
Official Count:
Leroy - 31
Loretta - 40
