Doesn’t CK even get a phone conversation (or even better, Zoom chat) with Debbie? Or with any of CK’s prospective teammates or roommates? Let alone a campus visit or Zoom tour? Anyone else agree this procedure has crossed into arranged marriage territory? And after looking at P3, anyone know any blonde jokes that can be posted without us all getting arrested?
Meanwhile at the Marine recruiting office Corina signs her enlistment papers. Gunny Pyle tells Corina " You’re going to be a fine Marine" and Corina stands at attention and shouts IN ALL REALITY SIR YES SIR !
P1 a boy on the team, ummmm what year was that, a nod to pride month?
P2 mmmmmm…nothing like shotgunning Manhattans on a Saturday morning at home with you honey, I think (other) Pedro will be here at 10, can you run out and pick up a few things while he’s “skimming the pool?”
P3 how are your wrists healing from your latest attempt at slitting them? Nice try, you don’t get out of this Strip that easily, do you want me to kiss them and make them feel better?
P1, So, Mimi had a boy playing on the girl’s team before Gil made Heather Burns his tight end? Mimi really is the brains of the outfit.
P2, Mimi must be a real lush. I’ve known quite a few women who were told by their doctors to stop drinking or they’d die and every one of them switched to wine on the rocks like Mimi.
P3, Actually I told her I’d burn the house down if she didn’t leave and she knew I was serious.
FREE CORINA! FREE CORINA! Rick Soto is coming to town for a huge concert to raise money for the CK welding school fund. To spite Mimi, Gil is considering making a wrestling comeback to help raise serious money. He’ll take on the winner of the Library Board fiasco, and Vito from Goshen has Gil as the prohibitive favorite over any opponent.
IMVPO the last few story arcs have been getting worse. When was the last time we actually got an ending? Not the kid with the grandpa van, not the library board and I do not see any ending to the will CK go to college or not. Question is, why is she going off to a Juco when her grades are about a B average? If she is going to a Juco, then how is she getting roommates who are in college? And if they are not living in a dorm. then how does CK pay her share of the bills? Does CK mom and Mimi expect her to get student loans to pay for it all?
I wanna go back to that diner, have slice of pie, and vote on the dang library board vacancy! I hate having stuff just hanging out there with no conclusion. It’s unsettling!
It’s always convenient that Mimi and Gil know what every single person who ever played for them is doing, and where they’re doing it. Their undercover network is most impressive, the CIA can only marvel at their operation. But hey, how else can the Thorps maintain their empire and control over the whole town?
And speaking of control, you can control when and where you want to read today’s Mopped Up Thorp. But I assume you would prefer to read it right now.

So you’ve never seen her call you on your bluff before, eh, Mrs. K? Yeah, as I said yesterday, good luck on ever meeting your grandchildren.

After yet another “second in the Valley” finish for Mimi, in P2 she ponders her future as a ventriloquist, speaking while sucking down a Mudslide.

Did we ever find out CK’s mother’s name? Blaze? Sparky? Inferno?

The coach of the softball team in spring of 2004 when a boy (Joe Clifford) was on the team was Coach Jensen, not Coach Mimi Thorp.
