Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rachel Merrill for April 10, 2017

No one saw this coming.

No one saw…..oh, never mind.

Someone should tell Van Auken not to worry about Pete de Windt. After all, he was replaced by a 150-pound girl on the football team.

Hm, this story line has interesting possibilities.

P. 4- Now shut the “F” up and bring out the gimp!

In all reality , Meanwhile , the school secretary Mrs Mole informs Gil that a FOIA Request has been filed for the last ten years of the Athletic Department’s financial records .

Ooh, the life of the party.

You are like a hurricane, there’s calm in your eyes.

RVA suddenly looks like Pelwecki in P3.

P1, Book ’em Cano wants you!

P2, I told you to back away the other day, but nooooo, you wouldn’t listen.

P3, “I’m pitching batting practice and you’ve got the helmet on, looks like you’re up,” smiles Book ’em Cano.

Between BKB and this guy, Young Master Bader is gonna be in a lot of trouble in that locker room.

Van Aukin Caine is the name, and I control an anger strain

‘Till Central City’s players came and tore up my tact again

In the winter of ‘65, AQ was hungry, just barely alive

By May the tenth, Jefferson Highschool fell, it’s a time I remember, oh so well

The night I knocked the batter down , and the bells were ringing

The night I knocked the batter down, and the people were singin’ they went

La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la

So Bat Man vs. the Joker?

Do you think I’m funny? Like I’m a clown here to amuse you? JUST WHAT THE F*** IS SO FUNNY ABOUT ME?

p4…I’m just messin with you, ya’ stutterin emmer effer…

Ah, the old Joe Pesci in “Goodfellas” routine.

Tomorrow, he’ll be overheard saying he’s bringing Molly to the party.

Now go get your shine box de Windt

We all know what happened to the last angry pitcher who managed to handle their anger problem.

So today we have ‘jock’ jocularity? (Wasn’t that a Mr. Haney word?)

Ah, nothing like getting both the dramatic finger point and the shot up the nostrils in the same day. And speaking of nostrils, hopefully you won’t be turning up your nose at today’s Mopped Up Thorp.
