Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rod Whigham for June 06, 2016

Will this keep Del from getting that big order?

“What’s this mushy stuff I feel? Can I still pitch with my fingers embedded in my cranium?”

I think Del’s got to worry more about the Big House than the Big Order. Get ready for BUBBA, Del!

How about a Milford version of “Topper,” in which Boo and Del haunt Gil and Mimi?

Well, this is disappointing, We’ve waited so long for Boo to go down in a fiery crash and it looks like she made it. And we have another year left of Boo and now that she’s relatively nice, she’s nowhere near as interesting.

P1, Del, you’ve got a lot of ‘splainin’ to do to the cow judge and your lawyer. Oh yeah, and your wife. And why, oh why, did you not have one of the Takata airbags.

From the background of P2 that must have been one helluva spin. Either that, or she was driving to Hawaii cause that sure looks like the ocean behind her car.

P3, most of Boo’s inventory is intact except for the birds nest.

In all reality , I came out of my coma yesterday . Where’s the sound effects ? P 1 = W HUMP P2 = SCREECH P 3 = SIERENS WAILING

How long after the ambulance will Knox Foley and his dad arrive?

Delbert gets bagged and Boo nearly T-boned. I expected an old fashioned Batman graphic “OOOF!” After a wild spin, Boo’s freckles are intact. Good job Neal & Rod. Got us all worked up like a few years ago when Chip Visci and Hamni Gaines where in an auto accident near The Bucket.

Del waits for cops to arrive, chugs a fifth of jack in front of them because he’s shaken up, and then uses Knox Foley to get him out of a dui by saying that they can’t prove he was drunk before the crash.

Looks like Del hit that airbag pretty hard. Could snap a neck.

Could Barry blame Boo for his dad’s paralysis/demise and claim that she was preoccupied with calling Tru(e) to pay attention? That would lead to dissent on the baseball team, forcing Gil to end his early summer vacation to actually offer a life lesson to appease everyone.

Boo was making a left turn across Del’s lane so she will be at fault. The cops won’t notice that Del’s headlights were not on or that he was drinking.

@Irish53: but, the Cops still get him: Lights out, face in the airbag = Driving while Pillow Talking = DUI + DPT = double D’s. Try explaining that to the Mrs.

P-1: Asleep at the wheelP-2: Better call MACOP-3: Fingers, toes move. OK. Then she looks in the mirror…

Sorry for hogging but…Judge to Del…You’re OUT!!!

We can always hope.

@BitstyWill@Gilfan79Does this mean even after the ice incident the other owner hasn’t upgrades his parking lot?

Curious. In a situation like this, how would anyone know that his lights were out? I’m sure that will be one of the charges against him, speeding, no lights, drunk, but since his headlights were smashed, how would you know if they were on or off? No explosion? How disappointing. And it will be extra disappointing if you don’t check out today’s Mopped Up Thorp.I see some of you had similar thoughts to what I ended up doing in MUT today. Great minds and all that. Although I didn’t think of the broken eggs idea, that is pretty good.

It will be hard to prove that Del was driving with his headlights off. Boo will simply claim that she didn’t see him, as she pulled out in front of him (and he had the right-of-way). This will lead the cow judge to slap a DUI on Boo, for driving on a sugar high brought on by too many milkshakes.

I’m guessing Del won’t die, since he will have to face someone’s wrath. I’m sure this development will force Mimi and/or Gil to come back into school to deliver some life lesson or whatever. Curious what will happen with Master Bader now too, since he disappeared after Big Ken Brown yelled at him. Or maybe not, maybe that side story will never come up again either. They’re taking tee times at the country club, I bet Gil is back at the course this summer.

Yeah, it looks like everyone comes out of this reasonably alive, so we’ll have them to kick around for awhile longer.

@seismic-2

If the taillights on Del’s car are intact (very likely), the police might be able to show that Del’s lights were off. Hot filaments almost always break during violent impact. Cold filaments might survive intact, implying that his lights were off.

I remember that a few years back, Gil was coaching a kid from another school whose golf game had fallen apart because his Mom was a lush. Gil told him to enroll in a support group for kids of alcoholics, and apparently his Mom enrolled in AA too, but we really don’t know whether the kid’s golf game improved, because by then the summer was over and so that was that. Maybe Gil still has a copy of that talk in his files so he can just pull it out, hand it to the Bader family, and head out to PUB.

I suspect the people who flashed the brights at him will show up and testify that a car with no lights was driving on that road.

@ MUT: She’ll get her freckles back. The aliens will perform Cosmic Surgery.

Young Bader tries to ease the dugout tension by pointing out it was only his dad’s second infraction and, as Mr. Peabody would say to Sherman: “Everybody knows you get three outs”.

The most ironic part of this tragedy is that Tru(e) had for so long desperately wanted to hear Boo utter just what she is saying now, in P3.

Big Bad Bader approves of new Charmin Pillow-Soft Airbags – he go sleep now
