GENTLY, Brad, gently!You know she doesn’t want to be ‘pushed,’ just keep letting her know you’re ‘interested’ and that you’ll be there when SHE decides it’s time.

I think she know he’s “interested”. The time will be soon I suspect.

Brad and Toni are a nice couple. When she decides she’s ready to become his wife, it will be even nicer. They look great, BTW.
barbarasbrute about 12 years ago
Only the ones who were raised right.
wiselad about 12 years ago
wow, Toni is already given hints of a promise of sharing their lives together

I expected Toni to say “You’re not housebroken… Yet"
barbarasbrute about 12 years ago
Gee, you don’t suppose she’s wearing her uniform, do you??? DUH!
imbaldeagle about 12 years ago
But “yet” shows promise. I think Evans make take us into Toni’s marriage concerns before long – this Fall?

@..said – If a guy opens a car door for a girl, you know that either the girl is new or the car is new.

@brian fink and .. – I still open my wife’s car door and we just celebrated our seventh wedding anniversary. If my daughters ever bring home a guy who doesn’t do that they will be leaving solo.
Bender_Sastre about 12 years ago
I open doors now as a matter of course. When she leans across the car to open my door for me, that’s a keeper.
Ottodesu about 12 years ago
Not housebroken? Is she all over the place like a madwoman’s p … forget it.
riverhawk about 12 years ago
I always open the door for my old lady.
SwimsWithSharks about 12 years ago
I see a pet in Toni’s future. A trial “baby” that is a great source of tension between Brad and Toni. They can get married when the dog behaves.

Greetings -This may sound like a cliche but it is true - I grew up in the South. Young men/old men and anywhere in between open doors for ladies, stand when they enter the room, assist them with their chairs in restaurants, help them with their coats (on/off) and help them out of vehicles. My children still say ’ma’am and sir’. That’s probably not taught anymore but it is proper etiquette.

Behave, Brad, behave.

I always did. Even when I was in my teens.

I’ve been WAITING for this for over a month! It’s about time he got back to the truly interesting story going on in the strip at the moment.
saturnsport8k about 12 years ago
he’s going to propose.
johnrussco about 12 years ago
Women in neckties? It just looks ..a .. a .a well lets just say not too ladylike. Dignified ? Maybe. But now-a-days anything goes. I guess.
kenvilkid about 12 years ago
Brad take the hint, its a test … at the event ask Toni which pet she wants to adopt, initiate the adoption, it proves your ready to commit for long term love. Plus if Toni never makes up her mind and least you’ll have a loyal pet.
ACTIVIST1234 about 12 years ago
Something’s going to happen tonight! A puppy brings out the nurturing side of all of us.BTW: Heard on the radio AE is going to be in a movie to be released this fall. Well, anyway, the announcer said it would have “Franken Weenie”.
MDeB about 12 years ago

I used to say I wanted a daughter but wanted he to be between ages of two and twelve. The idea was that she already be housebroke but not yet grouchy.-It turns out they don’t come that way, so I had no daughters, just the two sons.-What’s worse, THEY didn’t come housebroke either and we had to keep them even when they were in middle school. (A trying time indeed.)-I loved nearly every minute of it. (Those who tell you they loved EVERY minute of it have poor memories.)

Oh please, a wedding would be grand. And about time.

I have always appreciated a door opened or help with a coat etc. However I walk fast and move fast, so have adopted the ‘whoever gets to the door first’ rule. it has always seemed ludicrous for me to get to a door and then stand there while he catches up. I’m not interested in shuffling along, he can keep up or not. Or hey want me to slow down? Hold my hand, or talk to me. I hold a door if someone is right behind me. If someone is struggling with a jacket, sweater, coat; I help. And when a passenger, have always leaned over in the car and at least unlocked the door for the driver. These are common courtesy and really, the gender of the recipient just doesn’t matter.

@ Night-Gaunt49
I agree on both counts. Last year, everyone in my section of the marching band had to wear neck ties, and we’re wearing bow ties this year (Including us girls).
I hold the door for anyone who needs it or is close behind me, and try to remeber to thank the person who does that for me, but if a guy tried to open the car door for me, I would get annoyed. I don’t know if guys still do this, but I think its ultimatly the woman who decides if she’s going to put up with it.

Opening the door for your significant other is a sign of affection and respect for her. My father told us boys that 50 years ago, and it’s still true today. If a guys just honks the horn for her to come out, she should tell him to hit the road.
linsonl about 12 years ago
If I had a date that looked like that, I would open the door for her, for sure!!!
kenhense about 12 years ago
Yeah – A pet will be their “first baby.” Definitely a bond and a move toward increased intimacy. However Shannon will bite the dog.
marvee about 12 years ago
Brad’s suit looks like a regular suit, not a uniform. Is the fire department helping support this event?
marvee about 12 years ago
Just noticed the stripe down the leg for both of them, so I guess it is a uniform.
SailFree about 12 years ago
What I want to know is when are we going to see Tony Daytona in the buff? Or at least in a diaphanous negligee… When are Tony and Brad gonna make out? I’ve been waiting for years…
Chocoloop about 12 years ago
Ready for a Brad/Toni storyline. Greg’s on a roll!

“No, not the inane and clumsy. Since both genders are involved “fire fighter” and “police officer” sound better and just as sensible.”-I’ve usually used the term “fire fighter” but I just realized how violent that sounds. FIGHTER. Perhaps, “fire suppressor”? No, that sounds somewhat repressive, like someone who suppresses bad memories or thoughts or the desire for freedom.-“Fire quencher” might do it, after all, quenching a thirst is a good thing. Quenching heated steel improves its properties.-Hmmm, still seems too narrow even if no longer sexist and violent. Still not considering the many other things they do such as provide first aid after wrecks and falls, manpower assistance for medical calls, tree clearing after storms, cat removal.-I just don’t think we can come up with a sufficiently inclusive term to cover all they do in the course of their work.
