Alexa short changed The Teddy Demarco bunch on Saturday, implying they have no fun, they are little and they don’t like Chris Schuring. Will we meet Demarco’s vertically challenged toughs or will they be a figment of our imagination like Pedro the Poolboy?
P1 – Finally they’re on the court. Too bad none of the coaches could be bothered to show up.
P2 – Do I have to complain almost every day about the lunacy of thinking high school kids would be making fun of her last name by comparing it to an IBM supercomputer from a decade ago?
P3 – So Phoebe bet that nobody would make fun of “Watson” today. But someone did so she lost. Now she thinks she won because Alexa also made fun of “Watson”. BUT THAT’S AGAINST WHAT SHE PREDICTED! Phoebe obviously is not a threat for valedictorian.
And speaking of threats, I don’t need to make any threats to get you to read today’s issue of Mopped Up Thorp. I hope.
Due to popular demand—OK, one person—the decade in review continues with the most momentous year and season of the decade: winter 2010. It is all downhill from here.
Winter 2010: As Gil and Kaz sort out the starting five, ex-Milford point guard and former Trumpet editor Steve Luhm pops in. He has dropped out at State, just credits shy of a geography degree, and is now the MHS janitor! The main action is with Mimi’s squad, as guard Cassie Corman has a 22-year-old pizza-flipping boyfriend, Ray Richie, whom her parents want gone, and her odd hours are hurting the team. Though the floors are the shiniest ever, Luhm has time to give b-ball tips and is pegged by Mimi to coach Cassie. She starts playing well, dumps Ray in front of the team at the Bucket, and takes a shine to the janitor, kissing him, much to his ambivalence! A conference with Kaz let’s Luhm know that dodging inappropriate advances is a 24/7 issue for him, while Gil works on getting Luhm into Valley JC to finish his degree. The girls are one victory over Tilden away from conference champs and playdowns. With Cassie’s parents missing the game due to a previously scheduled trip, at tipoff time Cassie is AWOL! Luhm susses out that she is headed to Vegas to elope with Richey—she has pulled a fast one on everyone!—and confronts them at his apartment. Richey sucker-punches Luhm’s glasses right off his goateed face, but Gil intervenes and soon MPD has Richey cuffed for assault/battery, ignoring Gil’s breaking/entering. Without Cassie, the girls lose, but she apologizes to Luhm and they are friends again. Presumably Gil gets Luhm back into school, as he is never heard from again, except for authoring a better version of this strip.
Who is valedictorian will come down to extracurriculars which will look good on her college application. And if she is a senior where was she the last 3 years if she is 6’1"??

Again with the fancy practice uniforms that presumably have to be laundered every day. What ever happened to handing out mesh pinnies when needed?

P1, So, is Phoebe phoning it in to Alexa?
P2, Fifth hour? WTF? Must be another one of those Canadian things.
P3, If you were really lucky, Phoebe a quick exit from this story. Sadly, you only get a burger at The Bucket. My condolences.

Because that’s what counts with supercomputers these days, the “wiring”.
Fortunately, The Professor managed to salvage enough wire off the wreck of The SS Minnow to build it.

If the story deals with the battle to be valedictorian, does that mean it will run until the end of the school year? So long, baseball.

Alexa is wired? The only logical date is with Hymie.
