    I watch a fair amount of basketball, but I’ve never heard “racks it”. Granted, I tend to mute the sound a lot to stop the constant blather.

    It’s so fine, his 4 of 9!

    P1: who gets credit for the “monk”? Milford or Madison?

    P2: in my day, getting racked was a painful ordeal…Flagrant foul! And throw that beach ball back, Len!

    P1, Chris Schuring drains his lizard then gets a layup blocked by the ceiling.

    P2, So, is he retrieving or racking that oversized ball?

    P3, But the good news, Chris is you’re first up in the showers!

    On 1/4/2020, GilPa told Chris when the opportunity arises, he should pounce. Schuring doesn’t have to carry the scoring load. 44.5% shooting percentage isn’t bad for high school. Chris and Alexa have one thing in common. They are both their worst critic.

    This storyline is about as fast moving and exciting as watching a valedictorian contest in real time.

    On to the girl’s. Maybe they will be less boring.

    It’s time to refer to the very first archived strip once again.

    I want to call a quick time out to announce my imminent departure to a land of warmer climes and spotty internet. I hope by the time I return in 3+ weeks, Chris and Alexa will have stopped their silly focus on academics and realize that all that really matters in life is their high school scoring average.

    P1 – Maybe if he wasn’t attempting a two-handed layup it would be harder to block.

    P2 – That’s the worst dunk attempt ever! How do you entirely miss the rim?

    P3 – What the heck? 4 of 9 isn’t bad even for the NBA. Maybe he expects his shooting percentage to match his test percentage, in the high 90’s.

    And speaking of high, you’d have to be high to bypass the chance to read today’s Mopped Up Thorp.
