Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rachel Merrill for June 08, 2017

This conversation is very disjointed. Gil hasn’t even mentioned a placard.

P2: “I wish it were that easy,” Mrs. Van Auken said. Added her husband, “Please don’t squeeze the Charmin.”

Gil should turn and leave. I’m pretty sure the black stripes on the window means someone who lives there has the plague.

I admire Mrs. Van Auken’s eclectic home decor, especially the living-room sculpture of “old guy in armchair”.

That was a nice Mr. Whipple reference, ChipHilton!

Nice home. Ah, the lifestyles of the rich & privileged. Mrs. VA looks like she could be DD’s mom.

P2 Yeah they are both defiantly DD"s!!! Google Kingsbrook, it is a private school with annual tuition of $35,000. Leads Central City in teen pregnancies

In all reality , Look Gil you seem like a nice guy but we’ll handle our own problems ! Now get the F out of here or Sign Man will be making one with your picture on it . Say Hi to Mimi and thank her for the pool boy recommendation , now Git .

I don’t know about everyone else, but I think this story is better — maybe far better — than the ones we’d been getting over the last 2-3 years.

What a nice house. He must be an actuary. You know they make a lot of money.

Oh Gil, just cut him from the team and start mentoring the junior golfers.

That is one huge as@ black onyx ring Mrs. VA has hanging around her neck.

P-1: Gill’s supplementing his income by selling World Book Encyclopedias door to door.

P-2: “I wish it was that easy” refers to holding her head at a natural angle. Apparently, it much harder o do after someone snaps your neck.

P-3: He “tagged” her before she could holler "Aly, Aly, Allyssa Free.

Ellis, here’s an obscure reference: This story is sponsored by Frank Ifield

Today’s guest star (and I can’t believe I never thought of this sooner) is a young Tina Louise as ‘Alyssa’.

Seems like Gil’s been making a lot of house calls lately. Has anyone out there actually had a coach visit his home, or a teammate’s home?

Gil, you not only missed Ryan after the game, you missed the game.

For someone who’s own children have been missing for years, Gil sure likes to help parent his players. Guilty much?

Are we witnessing the extremely rare 2 parent household in Milford? I know Tru(E) supposedly had 2 parents but we never actually saw his mythical mother.

Frank Oz makes an appearance in P2 playing the role of Mr. Van Auken.
