Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rod Whigham for January 28, 2012

Nitwits hate No-Tats.

Maybe it’s me, but I’m having trouble seeing the tattoos as causing this much dissension. When I played in high school, the big issue was always who’s hogging the ball. We had players in honors classes and players who weren’t, we had smokers and nonsmokers, drinkers and nondrinkers, blacks and whites. No one cared about any of that stuff. The factions were based on whether you thought our star player was a ball-hog or not, and how to get the team to play unselfishly.

I’m so happy so see Gil coaching now, sending in the right palyers, winning ! But he has missed the growing tat-no tat division that is eating away at the heart of his potential championship team.

Hope the tattoo situation is resolved before football season.

The no-tats are a definite threat to team cohesiveness.

Infection should be setting in by now for those with Tats.

In my high school the team was close. They all had a shop lifting ring together. When the police arrested them all it pretty well ended the season.

There have been multiple exploding eyes this week with Lini dropping dimes for Cortez deuces and nailing 15 footers. Sooo…Cortez is now The Pittsburgh Platter? Cleveland Steamer? Milford Mudpie? Ever since Lini has come into Bowen’s life he has lost his girlfriend, received some lame tats and suffered a benching from Gil in crunch time. Where does Bowen get the dough for these craphouse tats?

Is this tit for tat?

Hmmm, Oakwood must be having some financial problems. They don’t have any extra towels stacked up on the lockers.

Bowen’s tat doesn’t bother me, in fact it appears quite tasteful and pays homage the school. But his haircut is atrocious!

Gilfan, maybe that’s just one of their intimidation tactics—only one towel for the visiting team.

It’s amazing that Coach Kaz’s anti-tattoo speech from a couple of weeks ago has been ignored by almost all of his team.

The writers have managed to capture the pettiness of the high school mind.

Oh c’mon, this is getting ridiculous.

Hmm, the no-tat heroes don’t sweat, while the tatted guys who almost blew the game are drenched. Maybe it’s the hepatitis kicking in. Does Cortez wear his goggles 24/7? The game’s been over for a while and he’s still wearing them.

Yeah, if tattoos are the strip’s biggest problem this basketball season, let’s just play ball and forget the ‘drama stuff’.

Cortez & Lini also going to prom together.

Oh Lureman we cant end on that note,

Reminds me of Dr. Seuss and the Star-bellied Sneetches!

No Tat Twin Powers ACTIVATE . . . form of a, queen . . . wait, I’m already that . . . make it a Super Twink.

Maybe Cortez and Lini could start a band. “The Golden No-Tat Twins” would be a great band name.

Players getting angry about the non-tats doing well… it is almost the definition of “jump the shark”
