Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rod Whigham for February 20, 2015

Nothing like making the connection right out in the open. On the other hand, the hallway is oddly deserted.

GREAT job mopping here, Steve! Talk about a person for the milk cartons… When did Milford renovate? Haven’t seen a hallway like this one before. Anybody?

The placebo theory espoused earlier is sounding more and more likely here.

Max notices that the A from the aspirin that Coach Bobby gave him was scraped off but buys the reason for it. Idiot is right, Bobby.

If Bobby really wants to cover his tracks, maybe he really will kill Max.

Is the pill wadded up in an old rag? I can’t work out the “art” in P2.

It probably had “BE MINE” or “CRAZY 4U” on it.

I think in P2 Bacon is holding the pill in his hand, along with the remnants of the balloon that the stash was concealed in by BDrugMule when he pulled it out of his nethers.

good’n, morgil

Please be an X-Lax for the Stooge!

In all reality , the alleged pill is in fact one of those stickys that you put on the legs of furniture to keep it from scuffing hardwood floors , good luck swallowing it Max . Great job on the floors Mop , any word on the Head Custodians job you applied for at the Magnificent Milford Outlet Mall and Casino ?

Or else … maybe he filched one of Liesl’s birth control pills, as MUT inferred she might be using! Max Achin’ is about to become Max Estrogen!

Coaches Held Hostage: Day 23 for Gil and Kaz; Day 57 for Mimi. I’m going to have to quit my day job to keep track of this.

collared dress shirt, sweater vest & sneakers? He’ll never make it pushin’ pills in the hood, you know, back by the tattoo parlor.

Hey guys, I just had a crazy theory. What do you think – maybe the pill is a placebo?

Judging from his hand in P3, Bacon (can we stop calling him Max?) has just dropped whatever it is on the floor. Luckily, thanks to Luhm obsessive cleaing, the 5-second rule is actually the 7-second rule.

When I first read “What’s the scuff mark?” I thought Max was referring to the floor. It’d be right in character for these two fools to mess up Mop’s handiwork. And I’m voting for aspirin, since Max’s middle name is apparently Dumas.

has to be a placebo …

Fast Breaking Bad. Next up, the bald look.

If the basketball thing doesn’t work out, there may be a future for Max in the music business, where nobody much cares what drugs you take.

If this helps Bacon’s game, it sure is a lot more convenient than a visit to a peacock farm. My prediction…he’ll fade again after halftime…low blood sugar perhaps.

I hope Bobby is smart enough to give him a placebo…..

Back in the day, this would end with Max dead of a heart attack and BDruggs serving life at Milford State Pen.
