I had teenage daughters once upon a time. Occasionally they would use a phrase I wasn’t familiar with, but not nonstop. This is the equivalent of Greg Brady with his constant “groovy” and “far out” utterances just to make sure the audience knew he was a teenager.
I Googled TTRP and the two top results were “Terrorist Threat Response Plan” and “Take the Red Pill”. I don’t think either of those is what Jami means, but they would certainly spice things up.
Coaches Held Hostage: Coach Kaz, Day 90 of 95. Ninety is the number of feet between bases in baseball. Whoever decided on that distance did a great job or more likely was just plain lucky. How many plays are bang-bang at first base? Ninety feet seems to be the Goldilocks distance — not too big, not too small, but just right. Speaking of right, 90 is also the number of degrees in a right angle, which of course is how the bases are laid out, along basepaths that are at right angles to the next one.
Is Gil trying to do that trick where you get the cup suctioned around your chin so that you let go and it just stays there? He seems a bit old to be playing that game. And speaking of games, I’m not playing games when I tell you that today’s Mopped Up Thorp is online.

That meal looks… monochromatic. Since she’s not coaching, Mimi now has plenty of time to prepare a huge pot of green fungus.

Why is Gil talking into his cup? And his gives him EES (Exploding Ear Syndrome)?

D&D sessions are like dreams: often fascinating to experience, but nobody else wants to listen to you describe them.

I love Gil’s befuddled look as he tries to bite into that concrete burrito.

“Jami, LANGUAGE” is a pretty hilarious line.

I remember when I didn’t need to read the Urban Dictionary for 20 minutes just to figure out what the hell was going on in this strip.

I have no idea what’s going on with this strip. Shouldn’t Gil be coaching football? Who are these kids?

What happened to the storyline about Gil and Mimi’s strained marriage? Too many different strings here…

Isn’t Jami young to be rolling dirty? BStat Whiz (Bobby Howley) has added young Thorp to his distribution network.

Looks like the Thorps are having piles of mush for dinner.

It probably doesn’t say good things about me that I understood exactly what he was saying.

He just had to throw the “ junior” word in there

Gil missed the opportunity to use the empty cup for a “Luke; I am your father”. Instead we just got “…”

I need someone to explain this to me, because I seriously have no idea what any of this means.

I notice the comments count is down recently….today it’s at 51. It was over 100 on multiple days just a week or two ago. Sign of flagging readership?

Hey, it’s been a while since I had to take a “woke shot”. My liver is starting to go through withdrawal.
