[LOBO]

“Look, I couldn’t help it,” explains -eh- Shiftless, my oldest son. “Practice went over forty-five minutes. You know I can’t call.”

I scowl as he fastens his seat belt. “Well that’s just great,” I says. “It’s midnight. You know mom will think I was at a strip club or a bar or something if she wakes up.”

“What should we do?” asks Shiftless.

And that’s when I tapped the transparent cylinder into my palm, and blew glitter all over him.

"I'm way ahead of you,” I reply.

You know, if your kids make it through alive, they'll either hate your or love your desperately. Maybe both.

If your going to get in trouble for going to a strip club... you might aswell go to one.

Stephanie: That's a big "if."

Lunatron: My catlike fibflexes are legendary. Rush Limbaugh is my apprentice.

Alex: I always wondered that about guys that are mercilessly henpecked by their wives. At some point, wouldn't you just say "ah, screw it" and go?

Terri: I told you we were at church.

-Doing crafts.

Kathcom I carry an "Emergency Terri" kit in my trunk.

But it smells funny now. I keep forgetting to feed the alabis.
