Clockwise from the bottom left:
- I noticed that after the previous two weeks of novelty and experimentation, the Sunday Showdown seems to have returned to its usual five random panel format. I have to admit it does feel comfortable. As for Leroy it seems that he can get away with rampant leering and even close quarters dancing with the young bimbos, but apparently he crosses a line with Loretta when he starts jitterbugging with them. It may be understandable since this is the closest I have seen Leroy with a lady. Weirdly in nearly all these bimbo situations the girls all seem to enjoy or at least not object to Leroy's advances. Perhaps he has some hidden charm that he only breaks out when he's with women that aren't Loretta. Loretta gets the point and jumps ahead to a 1-0 lead.
- As a leaf blower owner myself, I can totally relate to Leroy's petty frustration at trying to blow away every loose fallen leaf. An obsessive compulsive urge to keep everything spotless and tidy comes over me when I'm clearing out my driveway. My personal advice to you Leroy is to upgrade from the electric blower you appear to be using to a gas powered model, the increase in power is well worth it (also the backpack makes you feel a little bit like a Ghostbuster). Perhaps it may also prevent future frustrating situations like this for Loretta to capitalize on. Loretta gets another point and leads 2-0.
- They say a new car loses value as soon as you drive it off the lot, so at least Leroy's got that going for him. One might consider Leroy allowing Loretta to be the first to drive the new car out of the dealership as a massive lapse in judgement. I think he deliberately let her drive with the expectation that she would quickly wreck it (although he may have been legitimately surprised at just how quickly she managed to crash). That also may explain why he would have agreed to purchase such an ugly looking car. Leroy gets on the board as Loretta leads 2-1.
- As of this post there is only one Major League Baseball game being played and it's in San Francisco. I am assuming that this scene was from last week for either Game 1 or 2 of the ALCS at Yankee Stadium. If that is the case then Leroy's complaint about the high ticket prices have been echoed by many; though on the other hand prices are generally higher for a playoff game. I'm sure his complaints about the ticket prices here were nothing compared to what I assume to be his later anger at the lackluster Yankees for being swept by the Tigers. It's a push as Loretta stays on top 2-1.
- This is definitely the strangest cameo I have ever seen in a Lockhorns panel. Somehow Counselor Pullman has brought in three frequent panelists from ABC's Sunday morning political affairs program "This Week" (I personally would have preferred an appearance by the pundits of "The McLaughlin Group"). I guess Pullman will be playing the George Stephanopoulos role as presenter. Why any of these people would agree to randomly show up at marriage counseling session to have a round table discussion about a couple's marriage is anybody's guess. Maybe this is some weird publicity agreement between the show and "The Lockhorns". Thanks to baffling efforts of Pullman, the panels ends in a push and Loretta manages to hang on for the 2-1 victory.
Official Count:
Leroy - 104
Loretta - 118
Push - 73
