I'll call him Ed the All State Ins salesman, a real life Al Bundy.
My track /football team buddies would often stop by and talk to him when I was in high school.
Ed was a damn good HS athlete but was beat down by life in his late 30's.
He had 3 kids, a ranch style home ( and mortgage) in the a decent neighborhood and drank like a fish.
His wife had aged poorly and smoked like a chimney as she constantly bitched at Ed whenever we saw them together.
Ed was only in his late 30's, but had the deep receding hairline and portly body of an old man.
He had those dead, kinda yellowish fish eyes , and looked like he was sleep walking thru life.
Ed had an All State Insurance kiosk in a hardware store n a strip mall in the NH town I grew up in.
After going to get a burger, we would stop in and talk to Ed when he wasn't busy.
He was a funny bastard with a dry sarcastic wit and very self deprecating about his own life.
Ed would often say to us ; " Enjoy life now boys. After the wife, kids and mortgage, you'll be locked into a lousy, job and drink yourself to death."
He had this really funny Sam Kinnison/ Lewis Black, angry sense of humor and cracked us up.
In turn Ed loved hearing our youthful tales of adventure and sexual exploits

Did you ever approach good ol' Ed with a picture of your mom and ask, "Rate my mom" or "Would you have sex with my mom." It was obviously way too early to show him a picture of your 78th wife.

Wow!
Does your wife know you write very scary stuff on the internet?

If she is anything like Howard, they probably wrote it together. :-\ :-\

LOL, no I never asked him to rate my mom.
But Ed would often comment about the sex appeal of any female who walked by his kiosk.
After seeing any sexy looking woman walk by he would often declare ;
" Please GOD, let me have one time with a babe like that and you can take me. That witch I'm married too can have the life Ins to take care of those no good brats she popped out. If you can't do that, at least hit me with a lighting bolt and put me out of my misery."
Ed is the first guy to show me that staying in an unhappy marriage with kids, sucks.
He had the best reply about having children; " Kids just suck the life out of ya boys. I'd rather take places with a neutered dog."

Your story reminds me of the Different Strokes episode, where the "Bicycle Man" was trying to molest dudley and arnold.

lol!
But he seems to be an alright guy.
Not a bully that's for sure more like old school.
Like retirement old

I bet he never scored 4 touchowns in one game like Al did at Polk High.

Oh......I'll bet he did.
(45 to go)
-

No, but he did score 42 pts as a basketball player in HS.
Ed was around 6'4" and we saw some of his old paper clippings from his glory days.
He played 1 yr of college b-ball, and dropped out when his wife got pregnant and they got married.
Poor Ed seemed to live a life of quiet desperation.
I liked the guy, but vowed I'd never follow in his footsteps.
Any others know an "Ed" ?

was he adressing our howard? with wife #78?
Maybe the MOB is the reason howard gets divorced so many times?
He say "Tell the wife its over" :o :-X

yes, he was addressing our howard.
it is possible that MOB has been pulling the strings all along and has been influencing howards love life, thus leading to wife #78. this could be a major conspiracy.

You cracked the case, nobody else cared to solve :D

I think there is an Al Bundy in many of us. High school was a time of excitement and adventure. Every party was the next big thing. Life was full of promises with more fun ahead. I remember feeling like the top of the world on many occasions. At some point in my late 20s things really began to loop around, and repeat. Life got predictable, routine.
I sleepwalk my days through work. My job does not stimulate me at all. I get along with my co-workers but could care less about any of them, except a couple of close friends. All the bullshit doesn't bother me usually. My saving grace is sneaking off to the building with the gym (there are 35 buildings in the medical production complex), and doing some giant sets for 45 minutes. Going home, repeating. I see my kids experiencing the highs of youth, and remind them to pause once in a while and soak it all in. They are doing very well.
At times my wife nags me and the kids are exhausting, but I wouldn't have it any other way. I may bitch to co-workers from time to time about how I wish to be single again, but in the end my family is all that really matters to me.

I like Howard. An example of a childless happy person (what a surprise :O) who's looking young, feeling great and (probably) has a great sex life with his 105th wife. Keepin' it fresh, that's good. Obviously - not for everyone.. many look washed up by age 35 and are hopeless at finding a somewhat decent partner to spend time with, while some - are able to do that at whatever age.. A lottery in gene department. Oh, and many are hopeless at earning good money (it enables you to have wider choice range too).
I know an "Al Bundy" in a making.. actually a few.
-
Can we all stop with Howard stuff and discuss this video?
Ive never seen this fucking thing before but its gold!
Im familiar with this schmoe mayor but is he joking when he talks about "kicking" someone off a machine? I mean, his speech is like something out of a 14 yr olds wet dream...the one where he confronts the bully and all the girls love him for it.
Who uses the term "pencil neck" anymore?
Is this legit?

Hahaha pure gold. Before viewing this vid, I used to think he was just a fruity, old schmoe, but now I think he's hilarious and the closest thing to a real life gimmick

The Mayor is a real dude and pretty down to earth in "real life"
He's not a schmoe and simply enjoys bodybuilding and the atmosphere of the gym or major contest.
Too many within hardcore bodybuilding not it way too serious.
For example, look at the fin and games ARNOLD had with original Venice Beach Gold's gym bunch of characters.

Thanks.
I think the world needs people who love being parents and those who never wanted kids and don't.
I know what's right for me , but I can understand why others get joy and meaning from being loving parents.

The dude seems pretty hilarious. In an era where bodybuilders seem like lifeless blobs with no personality unlike the old days, characters are welcome.

Great advice so he can again masturbate looking at Howard in posing trunks.

Is this an excerpt from The Catcher in the Rye??

Wow! I was reading that book in high school English during the same time frame I interacted with " Ed".
"Ed" the All State Insurance dude, was a real guy, we actually talked to ,in HS.
Catcher In the Rye is a great coming of age book where Holden Caulfield questions "conventional life" thinking.
I suspect that reading it combined with my own, unique observations helped form the views I still hold on
marriage, family, having kids, jobs, etc.
I thought being a hippy bum was a waste because we all need to eat, pay rent and pull our own wt.
BUT, I also thought living like " ED" was a life of quiet desperation.

Howard's good people. And I enjoy his posts. Reminds me of an old friend of mine.
Wouldn't mind picking your brain sometime, Howard. Maybe through a pm one of these days.

Small , strip mall with the old "Pic and Pay" Grocery Store on Islington St in Portsmouth , mid -1970's.
