Joe's In-laws
I found this in my saved email today. A little stroll down memory lane. Dig how Joe waxes all romantic about Mrs. Mama at the bottom. Where is Shakespeare when you need him to chronicle this stuff?
Stupid In-law quote of the day...

Last night, while eating the Linguini Chicken Tetrazini from East Side
Mario's one of my inherited family members quipped:
"Is that garlic in there?"
Way to pick up the subtle undertones of exotic spices that made East Side Mario's so famous, you fucking brain surgeon. I know, I know...you thought maybe you detected some saffron, perhaps a hint of coriander, but alas...you got it! This average-at-best Italian food actually *does* contain some garlic. Sooper fucking genius.
Needless to say I'll be going to a bar to watch tonights "big" game. I simply can't take any more witty banter with the in-laws. I'm mentally drained discussing such topics as:
Eating Roadkill - in their piss-ant hick town, people will actually go out at 3 in the morning to find a moose someone just hit (they pick it up on their scanners!)
Fishing - my father-in-law was unimpressed with my description of the $50 Chilean Sea Bass I'd enjoyed the night before at one of the country's better restaurants... he'll only eat what he can catch. Way to expand your horizons big guy.
International Affairs - Very opiniated for a group of people who avoid the paper, avoid the news, and have never been anywhere in their fucking lives.
Sports - Her father is a Notre Dame fan for no reason other then being Catholic. Also, everything was better, apparently, 30 years ago.
Wine - When I offer them a glass of wine, her father has to tell me about how the wine I've bought is shit compared to some wine his neighbour makes.
Yes, I'm certain Ernest and Julio secretly wish they had your neighbour's sooper special secret. That'll always be their dream. BTW - for $12/bottle (fake money) the E&JG Turning Leaf Cab-sav rocks...it's fucking gulpably good and cheap as hell!
Oh ya, the fact that I've never run anything over and then eaten it makes me an oddball in their eyes. If their daughter wasn't so sexy, loving, kind, funny and sweet, along with giving me anal and making 6 figures, this family might be the breaking point in my relationship.
Let the good times roll!
