At first, I thought Cassie just couldn’t wait to rent a car to elope like her mother did (you need to be 25 to do that). That was before I thought about last week’s strip. This is Cassie’s great plan to make Steve ask her to the Bucket on Saturday night?
We also see Milford trying to catch up against Tilden for the conference title. We know Milford’s not winning. How would Mimi blame Cassie for making her go with Tracee Hamilton who’s (blegh) 5’1” and losing the game for them? If Milford came back and won, that would not only mean all those point guard training sessions between Cassie and Steve were absolutely pointless, thereby making this entire storyline pointless, but it would mean Mimi is a horrible coach and judge of talent for trying to make what in her mind was an undersized small forward into a point guard in order to expose matchup problems that probably didn’t exist (as evidenced by the New Thayer game) in just one season.
At least they got some good material for the Girls of Milford Athletics 2011 Calendar out of it.
How did the writers come up with this scenario? They aren’t running on all 6 cylinders. The next thing is she says I’m pregnant with your baby Steve, because I kissed you.
And I’d rather be married to a pizza boy loser than a mop head loser. Or maybe Cassie is bipolar and just needs some meds. Yah yah thats it. Whew I thought I was losing it for a second.
Oops! An uncomfortable alternative scenario has just popped into my head. Cassie and Ray have actually Done the Dirty, and Cassie believes she is pregnant with Ray’s baby. She doesn’t want to burden Steve with the situation, so she’s trying to be noble and stick with the father of the child. But is she really pregnant? Will we find out before she says “I do”? Tune in again, tomorrow, for another episode of “As The Floor Gets Mopped”.
Does Gil go to Ray Ritchie’s crappy apartment himself or does he send Kaz over to give him an ease up friend followed by a right hand to the chin. He better get there soon, the only move Steve has is his elbow sucker shot and that’s not going to cut it.
Gil Thorp has been jumping the shark for more than a decade now – that’s what makes it such an engaging train wreck to watch. With every new storyline you just wait for the point it unravels down some idiotic trail.
I am in agreement with BearWauk & Jerry P. Another sign when a shitcom has jumped the shark is when they reley on “alunmi” to intervene, in this case look for Wally & Bitsy Lamb to step in. Same line of thinking… it is good to see Tom Hanks sidekick resurface in P. 1 my hunch is that it will hook up with Steves faithful Droid.
Sheeeeeesh!
Luckily for this storyline, Cassie is an old school pen & paper girl and not current on iPhones and such. How else would Detective Janitor Luhm cracked this case?
Now for the real question: how pissed will Wilson be when they see the quality of the product placement in Panel 1 for which they paid so handsomely?
We haven’t see pizza boy in a couple of weeks and Cassie wants to seduce Steve Moppley, yet now she wants to run off to Vegas and get hitched with Pizza Boy. Is this just a ploy to get MopBoy to come around
Are those girls trying to block the shot standing in a hole or are they only three feet tall? Milford still can’t get a lead.
Mimi, quit thinking about how many guys will make it rain at your second job later tonight and start coaching this Cassie-less team. Also, get that girl going up for the basket to shave that landing strip in her armpit at halftime.
MilfordMountain……Good one. Steve has put his two years of juco to work to get all of that out of the letter t. Give him a full sentence and he could probably solve world hunger.

Repeat after me … Cassie is OF AGE IN EVERY STATE IN THE UNITED STATES, wherever Milford happens to be.

Is there more than one Cassie here? That’s the only explanation I can come up with.

So much like Arthur Fonzarelli skiing and “jumping the shark” in “Happy Days”, sadly, so has this timeless classic cartoon.

Better listen to him Cassie. He’s not only a janitor, but he’s the Head Janitor with a few hours of junior college credit.

I don’t know how they’ll do it, but Cassie gets to the game in the closing moments and scores the winning basket.

Great call lukebunkin, Cassie has to be the love child of Dr. Wally Lamb and Bitsy! Take a good look at her, it’s Wally & Bitsy Jr.!

As others have said, this storyline is tiresome and, apparently, pointless.

And Cassie’s freckles have mysteriously reappeared! They must show up only when she’s lying. Oh, wait a minute, that would be all the time then.
