(Click to enlarge)Clockwise from the bottom left:
- It's a refreshing sight to see the Lockhorns taking a rare trip out to the great outdoors to shoot a round of golf, free from the the usual stark monochromatic surroundings of their home/prison. However it appears that even a relaxing round of golf does little to assuage their simmering marital tensions. It's doubtful that they even take traditional score. I think they just tally up their continuous taunts and insults at each other over 18 holes and decide on a winner (I like to call this scoring system "spite play"). Here we see Loretta (in a sharp golfing ensemble I might add) going one up on Leroy.
- I'm not really familiar with the workings of the F.B.I., but I can't imagine there to be any department over in Quantico that would concern itself with cracking secret dinner recipes. Unless of course Loretta's food is so terrible that it is considered some sort of chemical weapon or national security threat. Its consistent gray composition and lumpy texture seems to indicate some sort of plastic explosive. Leroy ties it up.
- A simple turn of a phrase is all Loretta needs to irk Leroy. This sort of deadly efficiency is just another reason Loretta currently enjoys a double digit lead in the year long tally. She better open her eyes up quick though, it looks like Leroy is just about to slug her right in her smug, misshapen face. Loretta takes the lead 2-1.
- Apparently the Lockhorns have become victims of every facet of the recent economic recession from potential layoffs, credit card debt, toxic home mortgages, and now the failing stock market. I'm just waiting for the upcoming panel where it turns out the Lockhorns invested most of their retirement money with Bernie Maddoff. Alas, it's just a push.
- It's a rare panel of the Lockhorns at the airport that does not conclude with a joke about over zealous personal searches. I would think Loretta would be flattered at Leroy's comment about her sharp tongue, but the brow remains furrowed. Is it me or this the third cameo by the same mysterious black suited man in today's showdown? If I were speculating on a story, I'm going to say that he is a close personal friend of the Lockhorns. Over the course of the strip he comes over for dinner, he helps them with their portfolio, and eventually joins them in fleeing the country to avoid their numerous creditors. It looks like this Sunday will end in a 2-2 tie, which means an overall push.
Official Count:
Leroy - 26
Loretta - 37
Push - 32
