    There isn’t a lot to like about the latest reboot of Gil Thorp, but I do like this Mimi. The Animal Farm reference will fly above most of their heads, but it was good…

    George Orwell? I think he’s that sophomore who’s been in 42 of the 50 states. Not cool enough.

    P1, You. . . You mean that’s not cool?!?

    P2, That’s what I say, how can we snark on something that’s already so stupid?

    P3, Mimi’s going to bench them and make them read?

    Thanks, Coach, those pigs were so cool, walking around on two feet and all. Do you think we can sell any of these non-cool kids for alcohol?

    I still don’t understand why the girls don’t wear caps or at least visors to keep their fricking hair out of their eyes. It just doesn’t make sense and every team I see pictures in our local sports sections shows girls wearing visors. Of course we still don’t know what happened to the Thorp kids so I guess some mysteries are never solved.

    I worked while home from college with the lead singer of a world champion barbershop quartet. Still have an LP in the basement.

    I don’t mean to be unkind, but Chief Lind should arrest all guilty parties for holding the Gil Pa readers hostage with this travesty of a storyline. To quote the great Monte Brewster, “Send ’em to the showers.”

    It’s not possible to see if that comment caused some EES with their backs turned towards us.

    George Orwell? Let’s see if this is some of Mimi’s finest work.

    George Orwell? I sense an “Animal Farm” reference approaching.

    “All animals are equal, but some are more equal than others”?

    I suppose it would be too much to expect something from “Shooting an Elephant” or “Down and Out in Paris and London” or “Homage to Catalonia.”

    I suppose that this supposed to be a lead-in the Mimi finally sayin’ “…I’ve had just about enough of this childish bu**$h**…” and “….give me those stupid pins…NOW….and I want all of them too….go get them back from all the kids you’ve passed them out to….”

    P3 – “Whoa! We were having a conversation in the outfield, and as you replied to my last statement we were somehow transported to the school greenhouse!”

    And speaking of transporting, you can transport yourself to today’s Mopped Up Thorp by going to the following link: https://moppedupthorp.wordpress.com/
