Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rod Whigham for December 30, 2017

Ricky won’t be singing, he’ll be performing an interpretive dance based on the veer offense.

TWO MORE games? Plus playdowns?

Roundball tip-off starts mid-February!

They lost to GOSHEN. No playdowns here!

I know, kiddo. And that almost makes me want to barf.

So he flew home from Dubai because Gil told him his brother-in-law was interfering with his son’s desire to play football. As others have noted, they must not have heard of the telephone.

Okay, so now we know that Rick(ey) will get that long-awaited concussion and it will cause him to miss the talent show.

P3, It would be better if it made you want to shave.

In all reality , P 1 are those warmup pants Rick and his Dad are wearing and why ? Why does Connie Soto now have an artificial leg ? What song will Rick sing at the Talent Show and finally will it be a tribute to or a duet with his Dad ? Inquiring minds want to know!

Another talent show? How lame can this get?

The over/under for the 2 games and school talent show is 1.5. This isn’t like True’s endless Senior baseball season. There are apples to juggle, veg-o-matic hairstyles to trim and all night raves in Central City to attend. With Big Ken Brown graduated, who will make things happen? Not for the team, but us, the loyal fanatics.

And what about Uncle Gary? Is he homeless now? And why was his law license suspended? So many questions to which we’ll never have answers.

When was the last time anyone has been or was called kiddo? C’mon, Skippy!

Dad will stay for the talent show, because he used to be in show business too. He was Eddie Munster.

So this must be a new Gil Thorp record. Basketball practice starts on New Year’s Day!

Two more games AND a talent show? Allow me to clear my schedule for both.

Why does he have to go back after 2 weeks? That building isn’t going anywhere, as he said.

This is Ricky’s selection for the talent show.

For a frequently referenced “Gil Thorp Commenter’s Association” topic see today’s “OVER THE HEDGE”. (Saturday 12/30/17)

And thus ends the important concussion topic. From this heartwarming story, we learned absolutely nothing as they really didn’t even play into the story. And starting with those baseline tests sure turned out to be important. On another note, I’ve finally caught up on Mopped Up Thorp, strips available through the end of this wonderful arc. Can’t wait for Monday’s basketball practice!

In all reality , New Year’s Eve at the stroke of Midnight as fireworks explode, gun shots ring out and church bells clamer,Gil blows his whistle to start Milford’s Midnight Madness basketball practice . Meanwhile , Rick wows the revelers at the Elks Club with the Rick Soto New Year’s Eve Show ,
