    For a girl who’s supposed to be on the short list for valedictorian she sure seems, how you say, dumb?

    What sort of logic is that? Why wouldn’t the defender try to take another charge? Why wouldn’t the ref make the same call?

    P1 What is with the fake mustache? Or is it real and she forgot to wax?

    P1, Alexa Watson attacks the basket in spite of her left hand being attached to her right arm.

    P2, For reasons known only to R&W Britney Spears shows up in a referee’s costume and breaks out in a dance routine.

    P3, Phoebe’s plan to get Alexa to foul out before halftime is working so far. She put a bundle on Jefferson.

    This (alleged) plot is certainly offensive and foul. P3, it appears Salvador Dali did the numbers on the back of Alexa’s jersey.

    Ahem, I believe I was one of the rare, 98% of the readers who predicted a charge. I like the ref though, who looks like she’s posing for a hair shampoo commercial while she makes the call. The other ref must have a portable high speed fan pointed at her.

    “Personal foul! Number 33 called me something personal and foul.”

    These guys just can’t seem to draw running back on defense. At least they get to defend that peach basket in P3.

    I seem to have missed something here. I thought the problem with Alexa’s performance was that she didn’t take shots when she was open, rather than that she didn’t force her way to the basket.

    How is it charging when the defender is hanging on her arm? These refs suck and Mimi sez nothing.

    about that ref………

    Well, I’m not the world’s most physical guy

    But when she squeezed me tight she nearly broke my spine

    Oh my Lola, lo lo lo lo Lola

    Well, I’m not dumb but I can’t understand

    Why she walked like a woman but talked like a man

    Oh my Lola, lo lo lo lo Lola, lo lo lo lo Lola

    Come on, ref. You can’t wear a watch during the game! You’d penalize the players if they had one. What if your arm catches someone in the mouth?

    And speaking of catching, let’s see if I catch anyone as lame as me to be on the Gil Thorp comment section on a Sunday when there isn’t even a new strip. If so, you may as well take a minute to read the latest edition of Mopped Up Thorp.
