Who is The Joker?
The Joker is a guy who isn't going to use his real name. Why? I'm in a position of authority and I want to stay there. I'm just pitching in while our sweet Rosie takes some R&R. I've known the Esmays for many years. They're good people. On first impression, most people wonder how the hell these two ended up married. I'm not joking. Personality wise they can't be more opposite.
Here is "The Joker's" take on the Esmays:
She:
Naturally funny, witty, outspoken, she oozes personality. She can't tell a joke for crap. It makes no sense, she is normally so funny. What she does to punchlines, it's criminal. Never let her tell you a joke.
He:
Quiet, sensitive, deep thinker, he doesn't ooze anything unless he's infected. He can tell a joke which is odd because he's not funny. His personality dramatically improves with beer. Heh. More beer more personality. He's a fuckin laugh riot after a couple brews.
You know that show Dharma and Greg? That is Rose and Dean with one little title change. Their show would be more like "Dharma and Greg...Greg's been sedated, again."
Once you get to know them, you understand why they're a couple. Except for personality and she's way too good looking for him, they have everything else in common.
That's my take on the Esmays.
P.S.
I'd like to add a couple of warnings. Things you'll want to know if you meet these two in person. Looks are very deceiving.
1. He looks like the kind of guy you wouldn't want as a bunk mate in prison. Unless, you always wanted to be a prison bitch. BUT...He's gentle as a lamb, unless you mess with Rosie.
2. She looks like an angel. BUT...Her mouth should be registered as a lethal weapon. She goes off like a Tommy gun and I've got the wounds to prove it.
So you're not Rosemary in disguise? Dammit. You had better be Howard Dean or someone else equally amusing or I'll throw a fit.
I'm pretty damn amusing. As far as I know, Rosie isn't even reading this blog. I'm only gonna be here a couple weeks, I don't think she'll stay quiet longer than that.
As to who the Joker is, I believe he is a smoker and a midnight toker, who gets his lovin' on the run.
I think you may be right, Jerry -- although his descriptions of Dean and Rosemary aren't quite lovey-dovey lovey-dovey lovey-dovey all the time <synthesizer wolf-whistle>.
Kevin McGehee,
Um, it wasn't a synthesizer wolf whistle, it was a the Joker himself using a slide (probably glass) on his guitar.
Okay. So how would I fit that conveniently between two pointy brackets, you're so smart?
Okay, Joker. Have it your way. Mean time, I'll imagine your real name is Jack Napier. Or maybe it's Joker Ramos.
