Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rod Whigham for March 12, 2022

P1: “‘Asserted’. Note the prefix. ‘Asserted’. Get your mind out of the gutter."

P2: “I liked the way she handled herself on defense. OK, it was kind of awkward watching her handling herself out in the middle of the court during the game, but she did it very well.”

P3: “We need more of her up front. It will be fun to watch her develop.”

You still need Hollis up front? For what? It’s mid-March of her senior year. The basketball season should have ended a month ago; even most state championships are over by now. You shouldn’t still be playing, let alone developing a senior benchwarmer on a new position.

Didn’t the Celtics do something of the same thing with John Havlicek? And on the 1990s Bulls wasn’t Scottie Pippen characterized as a “point forward”?

Wait? Mimi has an assistant coach? Is her name “Todetta”?

I also like watching teen girls develop!

C’mon Rubin…get to the point already and move on to the next story

P4- ….and while you watch your Senior Super Sub develop Coach, I have a meeting with your Cabana Boy. He said he can tutor me in the breast stroke.

I am amazed that Mimi has on the same color jacket from 2 days ago.

What a disappointment. The game has only been over five or ten minutes and no players are walking around with fists in the air.

P 1: “… great game ‘bro…”

P-1: Disappointed to see the art work metaphor. R&W think this story is “Over the Top”.

P-2 &3; T-Ball for newer Bloggers.

Mimi and Heather are doing their version of “Less filling!” “Tastes great!”

P3- I love this black lipstick. It even works on my hand.

P4 Smell my fingers

Hey, what is hanging from the wrist of unknown player in P1? Is that toilet paper stuck in her wristband? Must be a benchwarmer who thought she could sneak off to the locker room during the second half. That seems worse than having it stuck to the bottom of your shoe.

And speaking of the bottom of your shoe, if you check yours now you might find something stuck there that’s the equivalence of the quality of today’s Mopped Up Thorp.

Two weeks after the State Title game, Coach Mimi changes the lineup.
