The Born Loser by Art and Chip Sansom for October 22, 2021

Making the best out of second choice

Well, if the evening is already ruined, he might as well go out with Gladys.

My cable has been “out” since 2014 and I don’t miss it!!! Besides, I’ve been saving about $120 per month!!

/SHMIRK/

Oh, Brutus, yon mouth of yourn….says one thing too many yet again!

These are days of switch-off Tv to new DVB-T2 standard here in Italy and I need more drops of Serenase.

Actually a hockey game with beer and a pizza sounds good to me.

Gladys knew Brutus was up to something.

I like to spend my Friday nights watching Ancient Aliens on the History channel if its on that week. I don’t know about the rest of you.

Bummer, man. (No we don’t have cable either. Downstairs has streaming TV. I have a wired computer and use an antenna to try and get TV.)

Aww, who says romance is dead?

If you had a decent DVD collection, you’s never have to go out for dinner and a movie again.

And he forgot where he stored the rabbit ears.

Brutus only goes out with the cable.

Ulterior motive…

the cable being down is probably a blessing…

i never have a problem finding something good to watch on cable.i love the DVR.

ha!

Millions of people would go crazy if the cable goes out for a long period of time.the sports fans would be really angry.especially if it happened during the super bowl.

Now’s not the time for complete honesty, Brutus. But, if she’s smart, though I’m not so sure with Gladys, she’ll take up Honest Man’s offer.

Brutus, you just destroyed all the good will you generated in the first two frames.

Baby steps Gladys. But this is your time to shine! Seize the opportunity

So that’s why Gladys was at the hardware store buying cable cutters.

I think it’s nice that he phrased it as his idea to take her out, even if the motivator was suspect. Honesty is maybe a bit overdone, but so what?

Cables out is an incentive for Brutus for a night out with his wife!

Let’s go out to dinner

And see a movie

I haven’t had a TV in my house since 2007 and I don’t miss it either (although I will admit to watching documentaries and nature shows online on my computer).

He’s taking you to a pizza parlor that has TV’s for customers to watch..

Brutus, honesty is not always the best policy. You just blew your chance to score some points with Gladys.

How does it feel to be an alternative.

Carpe Diem Gladys. Enjoy that Lobster. Some people will find a fifty on the streets and complain because it wasn’t a hundred. Be grateful, thankful. Brutus intentions may not be 100% but the invite is still valid. Oh, yeah…. Put on your red shoes baby…

Brutus takes her to a sports bar. " I thought they showed movies here".

As she said in The Big Lebowski…”You can imagine where it goes from here”.
