P4 “Let me ask you this fellas, have you ever taken a shot in the nuts?”
Wow! Gil must have blown all of his Lift-a-thon earnings to bring the big guy in to help coach. Too bad, Dr. Pearl will have to spend the rest of the year slinging hash in the school cafeteria.
“While coaching the Falcons, I learned peyote sells a lot faster than those vapes you’re pushing. You need to up your game Gil. Tomorrow we’ll be having my special friends Beyonce and Rick Soto for a big pep rally, after that we’ll have Drag Show Basketball Hour, featuring a Dennis Rodman dress-alike contest.”
My mom was born in New York Nursery & Child’s Hospital , the hospital which was later turned into Power Memorial, the high School Kareem graduated from.
I’m a little concerned with ToBe. It looks like he has a blatantly obvious crush on Kareem. Not sure if that age gap can be overcome. And speaking of overcome, you might be overcome with emotion after reading today’s Mopped Up Thorp. I don’t know why you would, it’s rather bland. But I needed to play off of some word in that sentence.
I think todays drawing of ToBe makes him look like a teenage girl. But that’s how my old eyes see it. P.S. Mop today comic was not bland. It was funnier that $hit.
Meanwhile, back at the Batcave, er, Glenwood Cruise Across The Bay of Pigs, Fred & Wilma, after weeks of deliberation over whether Truck and Wanda will save it for the time when they get to the Justice of the Peace and whether Wilma could handle a stick shift when driving to the cruise ship, we find out today that Mud Mountain Murphy will indeed be part of the set list, playing behind Gary Puckett & The Union Gap. Kareem’s shooting clinic has been pushed back to tomorrow an hour before the Cruise Brunch. Gil and Mimi will redeem their rain check tickets after months in the Lazy Susan.

Kareem coached Alchesay (a high school on a Native American reservation) way back in 1998, 25 years ago.

Alcindor averaged 32 minutes a game at UCLA. Coach John Wooden was quoted, Lewis does a good job of pacing himself.

Kareem’s going to spin some jazz records for this crowd. Not sure that will help, but it’s going to be good to hear.
