Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rachel Merrill for August 16, 2013

Regarding yesterday’s late post about music, Gil should be entering to “Dandy” by Herman’s Hermits.

“Jim Dandy” Black Oak Arkansas. Looks like somebody is live tweeting the match in P3

C’mon, Gil, blade for the crowd!

just when you think this strip can’t jump another peacock . . .

Oh, c’mon fellow commentators lighten up…this is the best summer story line in years.

I thought Johnny Rodz had a trademark on the unoredictable

This should knock Marty off the wagon.

The sad part is Herk thinks this is real and Gil doesn t realize he s in grave danger. Whose the referee, he could be Gils only hope of not being crippled.

Oh, if only we got have got Slim Chance (I think that was the performing name of the pitcher a couple of years back) to play a warmup song before the match.

How did the entire crowd get included in Gil’s plan…………whatever it may be……….

“Tweet”?

Two days ago, I wondered if the Dandy ensemble would include a top hat and cane. Maybe a Singapore cane. Thank goodness Kaz is the ref. If it were MacDonald Carey, Gil’s lifespan would be like sands in the hourglass. Moonpie NEEDS this gig. Bad Summer at Milford Downs.

Entrance song should have been “Gil (Jim) Dandy to the Rescue” Go Gil Dandy ! Go Gil Dandy !!

“Hat’s off” to Marty for stepping up and doing the job well. He should revert to character and pounce on Gil later about this.

Marty will soon be sharing his booze with Jake The Snake Roberts

I thought Moon was describing himself….

I had the same thought!

Vegas has Thorp as a 9-1 underdog. But it might be a fix. According to vegasinsider.com, all the money is coming in on Thorp.

I agree. This episode should be The Beau Brummels “Laugh Laugh”!

BOOOOO, BOOOOO, YAAY, tweet?

Kind of says it all for me!!

Meanwhile, Mimi is making plans with Rusty the pool boy just in case Gil does not make it out of the ring. “Children?” said Mimi when asked by her pool boy. “I’m too young to be a mother. Of course I don’t have children. … Oh by the way, don’t go down into the basement…”
