The Dinette Set by Julie Larson for March 25, 2014

!. Those other people have personalities.2. Those other people have intelligence.3. Those other people aren’t your family.

And since they always have food in their mouths,,,..They gobble as fast as they can, and cram in as much as they can, its a wonder they don’t choke!

Just what they need: A food shovel! thats right a shovel that replaces a fork!

Again, the wood chipper scene from the movie “Fargo.” Or one of those lion videos on the National Geographic Channel.

Patty looks different… this may be a scene from when she still lived at home, and ate Mom’s “cooking” every day.

A steady diet of salty Stauffer’s and Marie Callender’s entrees, Twinkies and Ho-Ho’s might have given her those rounded cheeks….. but she’s slimmed down since she started living on her own.

The other people stop to talk between bits. Not the Penny’s .

What??!! And let something as intrusive as language (intelligent or otherwise……) get in edgewise and crowd out all that needed space for the constant intake of grub?!? Why, they wouldn’t dream of something so crass and undignified!!

Patty’s hair is longer when we usually see her. Here, see looks like she got it trimmed up to just off her shoulders.Don’t do that, Patty. I hate seeing you get too much like your mom too soon…………….bust outta PennysWorld, while you’re still young!!

Must be a semi-classic eatery. Burl is wearing a shirt and tie instead of a tee shirt. And I see Verl is wearing Joy’s GWOF blouse.

Slow down, they are like pigs at the slop trough, worried another pig will get an extra bite if they don’t get it first. And Joy obviously doesn’t mind talking with her mouth full, the problem is every word spoken is a missed opportunity to bite, chew and swallow. .And like pigs,a lot of their food ends up on the floor. Burb…belch, pass the rolls. No box needed to take extra large servings home from this table, they will even finish off anything Patty doesn’t eat. After all, it may be a couple hours before they get to eat again.

Patty is probably happier she no longer looks like that.Back in 2002, I weighed 156 (and my old BF was at his heaviest too) for my daughter’s 2nd wedding.

I take it Joy and Burl have never heard of napkins?!
