Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rod Whigham for January 16, 2013

Haven’t seen leg-warmers like Mimi’s wearing since my daughter had Barbie dolls about 20 years ago. And don’t look now, Gil, but your whole house appears to be going up in flames. That is one hell of a fire in that fireplace.

Wine glass lodged into left leg in freak domestic accident. Surgery tomorrow.

Not only are the Thorp kids missing but their photos are too.

Do all high school kids wear sweat pants/suits when they exercise or is that only in Milford?

Leg warmer are starting (or trying) to come back in style (for real)!

I thought the flames were some cool retro design on the side of the Thor p’s couch.

If Boo really wants to help Mia’s game, he shouldn’t take her to the reoreation center. He should take her bird watching. Eithe that or turn on NBC. They show a peacock all the time.

P1 – practicing bounce passes? She should be past that stage by high school!P3 – that’s considered “working”?

Welcome to the 21st Century Gilford. A lot of us work on the weekend so, like John McClain famously stated, “Welcome to the party pal!” P2- Mimi WILL NOT find that option in the giant flask she swiped from Marty.

Gil Father’s Yule Log is still burning, I see!

Find a life? How about finding your kids? That would keep you busy once in awhile, even if they’re grown up and having kids of their own now. Maybe you could spend some time with your grand kids.

All this talk of the kids, and no one ever talks about the dog, Fang. He too has been missing. So desertdwlr beat me to the punch, but boring weekends + busy workdays + Shelby Hunter + no kids at home + leg warmers in a pile on the floor = Happy Thorps.

I fear that the fire is raging high because the Gilfather is “disposing” of unfortunates in Milford who have crossed him one way or another. Chopping them up in the Gilotine, then burning up what’s left in the fire. Mimi tolerates it because of the affluent lifestyle Gilfather provides her and also because she fears a similar fate if she objects. The fire is almost as big as the preseason “pep rally” at MHS.

How about Shelby Hunter for a threesome?

I’ve often wondered how Gil affords such a large home on a coach’s salary. Now I know. He got it for a song because like the home in Amityville, it is a gate into the bowels of hell.

Yea Dweller, Kaz, Davison, they knew we’d go there. Especially with that look in Gil’s eye. Probably got Shelby Hunter on speed dial.

Is Mimi drinking a jack and coke and chasing it with a glass of Mad Dog 20-20?
