I was going to suggest the line “Woman of the house, I have brought the son in law home for dinner”, but you beat me to the reference. Of course Kiko will have a vote in the “in law” business.
And with that, we have a new member of the Day by Day family. A man who’s not afraid to carry his own weight, and then some. Looks like he’ll fit right in
Great piece today, but I find it hard to believe Zed didn’t know that was coming and deflected it followed by a right-left-right combo putting whippersnapper on his back.
Not lethal. Far from it. More of an attention getter. Gotta strike a balance between that, and remembering what this boy means, or could mean, to his daughter.

Sometimes you don’t know how late it is until the other guy gets up. Darn left cross used to work much better…
The Ladies better have ice ready. Communication is easier if the swelling doesn’t get too bad.
Now that you mention it, there is a striking resemblance to a certain former CinC. Coincidence or just another well played CM hand ? Asking for a friend……
Meet the daddy…not The Duke, sure as hell not The Donald…
And all the boy’s got left of him is a raggedy ol’ ’64 Caddy ragtop.
And a smart mouth. And a fist.
Come to think of it, bears a striking resemblance to your hair too NotYet…Paternity test in order?

Not with my mother. OH! You mean me.
I My hair is better than Donald’s and the old Caddy’s driver.
The kid’s, oops, young man, hair matches a few periods in my life. I sport a better beard than Nick in Angel is Down and his other new movie. Robert Redford didn’t have a better one as a mountain man either.
I’d take the kid, if he were mine. He uses fewer words than I do and he also can give and take a punch. he doesn’t stand down, which has cost me some pain. I never lost, but I did not always win. I never started one either, and that involved at least 20 on one, and 20 on 2 in two instances. The 20 on 2 this group was about to demolish some guy after enticing him into a one on one fight in the middle of the road.Their cars were there and when the guy accepted, the apparently partisan crowd swarmed around him, and as i was crossing the street I then seamlessly stepped next to him and put my back to him with his Jeep to my left. Now I think it was funny, even hilarious. Mayhem ensued. The kid was knocked down several times and his clothes ripped, the shirt mostly gone. I knocked down several and pushed or punched others off. I ended up giving up territory until I was backed into a Volvo and climbed up on the trunk. It ended when one of friends pointed out to he male friends that I was in the middle of the melee. From the Volvo’s trunk. I watched one of my friends enter the street. imagine a barracuda or other predator entering a large school. The crowd opened up and stayed yards away from him. The Volvo owner was unhappy. Another friend came over to the Volvo and asked the attackers what’s going on in Spanish. He calmed them down and I stepped down into the crowd next to them with no further problems. I am glad that my very large and strong friend and I have never had an issue. I am sure that I would not have stood a chance. My friend had gone to Miami High with the lead cop who showed up. We explained all. The kid was tended to by the EMT, and the school of others mingled in with the crowd and slipped away. My friends and I all went on to have dinner. No real harm. No real foul.
That’s a good memory.
And unlike the young man, I can talk too much.
Darn. I am laughing at this memory. Ah! Youth.

Thinking Zed had to know without a doubt the newcomer would and could fight.
Zed said, “I understand you’ve been seeing my daughter.”
Translation: Have you been fucking my little girl?
Jack replied, “I ain’t the president.”
Translation: I’ve learned enough about you to know you still think of Kiko as a little girl. Unlike Biden, I’m an honorable man. I don’t mess around with little girls, even in this situation where she’s not actually a little girl. So you have nothing to worry about.
Zed didn’t pick up on that. He said, “The president’s a child sniffing pervert who jumped a barrier to fondle Gretchen Carlson’s kids right after signing an anti-child molester bill.”
I blame Zed too. The young man could have gone for the shotgun, told Zed to get off his land and told him who comes on his land is strictly his business and not Zed’s. If Zed has a problem with that, he should speak to his daughter.

Sort of an homage to John Ford’s “The Quiet Man;” John Wayne and Maureen O’Hara.
That’s what I thought too!
Throwback to The Quiet Man?
Zed knows better than to ask a question to which he doesn’t already know the answer.
Guess who’s coming to dinner?
Sean.
Which one is that?
I was going to suggest the line “Woman of the house, I have brought the son in law home for dinner”, but you beat me to the reference. Of course Kiko will have a vote in the “in law” business.
To be honest Kiko’s vote is the only one that counts since she is 18.
Seems a shame, I have a policy of not asking questions I DO already know the answer to. How’s a man expected to learn, hereabouts?
And with that, we have a new member of the Day by Day family. A man who’s not afraid to carry his own weight, and then some. Looks like he’ll fit right in
Damn if he doesn’t look like Nolte…
Well, there was that old sky blue Caddy shown earlier………
Well met.
Coulda tried this answer, but I don’t think it would have worked out very well.
“Sleep. Not much.”
Might not have made it to dinner . . .
Did the young Donald have that hair color?
Much darker. There is a resemblance, though.
Great piece today, but I find it hard to believe Zed didn’t know that was coming and deflected it followed by a right-left-right combo putting whippersnapper on his back.
Fist was a poor choice of weapons for hand to hand combat, and the jaw was an even poorer choice of targets.
UNLESS, you wanted to ensure your first blow was NOT lethal.
Not lethal. Far from it. More of an attention getter. Gotta strike a balance between that, and remembering what this boy means, or could mean, to his daughter.

Looks like Zed and the boy took each other’s measure….and decided on a draw, for now….. What IS IT
with Texans, hurting your hand with his face?
Now that you mention it, there is a striking resemblance to a certain former CinC. Coincidence or just another well played CM hand ? Asking for a friend……
This is not what I expected but good turn of events.
She got a guy just like dear old Dad.
They are both real men, and both speak the truth. They’ll be fine.
OMG! A “Natural” Blonde at DBD???
Who’da thunk it?
He can throw a right cross … that’s for sure.
Zed needs to stay frosty when he asks him to pass the potatoes …
It’s a very direct way of introduction but effective.
So what happens when Cates gets a good look at Sam?
A realization that Kiko has great genes and will continue to be beautiful like her mother for decades to come.

Both of the Cates and Donald bear some resemblance to me.
They’re lucky.

Just wondering… why does one have to ring the doorbell to your own house??
Surprise the gals.
The question was asked and answered yesterday.
Zed said, “I understand you’ve been seeing my daughter.”
Translation: Have you been fucking my little girl?
Jack replied, “I ain’t the president.”
Translation: I’ve learned enough about you to know you still think of Kiko as a little girl. Unlike Biden, I’m an honorable man. I don’t mess around with little girls, even in this situation where she’s not actually a little girl. So you have nothing to worry about.
Zed didn’t pick up on that. He said, “The president’s a child sniffing pervert who jumped a barrier to fondle Gretchen Carlson’s kids right after signing an anti-child molester bill.”
Translation: Biden’s a pervert. Are you?
Jack replied, “Like I said.”
Translation: No.
Zed didn’t pick up on that, either.
So I blame all this on Zed.
I blame Zed too. The young man could have gone for the shotgun, told Zed to get off his land and told him who comes on his land is strictly his business and not Zed’s. If Zed has a problem with that, he should speak to his daughter.
