Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rod Whigham for March 05, 2012

This is probaly the end of the basketball season, and we’ll never find out what happened to Ransom, Kitten and Parker, or what Lini’s sickness was.What come after basketball in America? Is it Football or Baseball?Whatever it is, I hope Marty Moon plays a bigger part than usual.

The same pride that’s tattooed on Parker Bowen’s left biceps? I can’t believe this is the end of this story. For one thing, it’s only March 5. If the baseball story starts tomorrow, that would be too much in line with the real calendar. Sports seasons in Milford always start later and end much later than they do in the real world.

If it is baseball season, will Slim Chance be back, singing on the mound? I can’t recall if he graduated. How about Al-Jo, the activist softball player?

There should be the playdowns left to play,maybe basketball season will end here. Slim Chance was a senior. Al-Jo was a sophomore from what I remember last year.

What exactly is a “sophomore?”

Thanks, cretta.

Tat Slap Pride.

To quote Reece Bobby….“If you ain’t first, you’re last.”

End of the basketball (and tatt!) story line? Won’t Gilfather confront Ransom? I know Gil will be coach for life at Milford but after the horrible football season, won’t someone be calling for Gil’s job soon?

“When you look back at this season, be thankful you got the cheap tattoos that wash off.”

If you are “looking back”, there is no more basketball. The Ransom story will probably blow up quickly & end. How about a Parker-Kitten hook-up to enrage Ransom?

I guess no playdowns since they haven’t mentioned them at all. But what state only has “playdowns” for the conference champions? And it seemed that this was the year MILFord would go far.

Story can’t be over yet, Gil hasn’t taken care of tattoo man yet.

I’m sure Lini appreciates Gil’s pride shout out.

When was the last time we had a riveting girl’s volleyball storyline anyway? It’s been years.

Breaking news. Thorp fired.

Thorp fired? Will the strip be changed to “Mimi Thorp”? Or “Marty Moon”? Or how about “Kaz”.

I keep telling you guys, it’s HOCKEY season next (couldn’t be otherwise, what with Neal Rubin being a Detroiter and all).

I can’t imagine that this story line is over. As others have posted, the Gilfather still has to make Ransom an offer he can’t refuse. (Might involve a clandestine “date” with Kitten.) I have to agree that it’s crazy that Milf apparently will not be in the playdowns. Under Jenkins and Berrill, it wasn’t just the conference champs, right?

Playdowns? Is that a term from England?

…P1, didn’t know Sanchez was Jewish, but he is sporting a yamulkhe!Thorp again looking like Carl Betz as Dr. Alex Stone (Donna Reed Show) in P3…..

With the direction Gil is looking in P3, I thought he was going to take a quick time out to wish us a happy Casimir Pulaski Day.

Great. Now when you look at that tat, for the rest of your life, you can fondly remember the time you were No. 2!
