After Tru(e) flunked out of Wake he was at the Diner working on his new career as a professional competitive eater. He’s working with Joey Chestnut on training tips, and is going for the sloppy joes record next!
Tru(e) looks rather determined, upright purposeful walk, grim expression, clenched jaw. I think he’s going to deck Gil! This could be the best summer ever!
And speaking of best, today’s Mopped Up Thorp is not the best. But it’s also not the worst.
So no guesses as to what brings the semi-famous Tru(e) Standish back to Milford, seeking the advice of the semi-famous absentee “Coach” Thorp? Trying to decide between football and baseball? Knocked up a cheerleader? Nephew wants to transfer? maybe after a horrendous, waterlogged experience trying to drive to Hawaii? Trouble with the annoying Dad Standish? Wants to go into coaching or maybe study history? Oh, right, already used those…
