One season the suburban loser decides to renovate his living room. None of the showrooms in the local furniture stores quite capture the feeling he wants to convey, so the suburban loser goes direct to the tile and fixture wholesalers, picking out the exact texture of shale to cover the fireplace and measuring the exact dimensions of the display cabinets so they’re perfectly proportioned for his replica busts, vases of bamboo, and porcelain sculptures of safari animals. Whenever either of his sons has a girlfriend over, he asks if they notice the color coordination between the carpet and bronze water feature hanging on the wall, if they are familiar with the painting technique of chiaroscuro, or if they'd like to see the certificate of authenticity for the wooden temple duck that came from Thailand. One day, when his youngest son digs through the suburban loser's desk drawers looking for money and weed, he finds a notebook that has various sketches of restaurant logos that say things like Eat at Pete's, Good Food and Drink. Some of the pages have poorly drawn sketches of corner booths and decorated dining rooms. His youngest son puts the notebook back where he found it, but he laughs to himself whenever he goes out to eat with the suburban loser and notices him looking a little too closely at the lamp shades or plant stands in the corner.
