Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rachel Merrill for July 23, 2022

Emmitt’s parents bludgeoned Gil’s family, I guess.

Why can’t we have a basic storyline about high school sports?

Because the new writer’s gotta make his mark…

So did Mimi leave him and take the kids with her?

Gil leaves his trophy behind. That probably wasn’t in the script, either.

So is Tays on the Milford coaching staff or faculty? Or can anyone buy those M polo shirts at the school bookstore?

What’s up with Gil?….it’s almost like someone new is writing this mess…

P 4 Kaz ,in all reality , my life’s a mess. I’m going to try to get my family back.If I can’t do that I’m leaving Milford to start a new life. You’re the new AD and Coach of Boys Athletics .One last thing, someday when the team is down and the breaks are going against them, huddle them up all ask them to win one for the Thorper !

P4- Dr. Pearl: I know it’s late in the day Gil. You shoulda had a V8. Here, take a couple of my Geritol.

P 1.5: “… but coach, them’s your family…”

What just happened?

P-1: I’m sorry…so sorry…please accept my apology, but Ego’s blind, and I was too blind to see.

P-2: I must be going. I must be going. I really cannot stay. I must be going. I’ll stay a week or two. I’ll stay the summer through, but I am telling you, I must be going.

P-3: Gil gives up thoughts of show biz.

Maybe Gil’s family was killed by a drunk driver as they pulled out of the Swif-T-Mart. In all reality (apologies to Mr. Reality) this storyline makes no sense. Just about a week ago Gil and Mimi were in the kitchen happily making dinner and we haven’t seen the kids in years. Now they are all mysteriously gone and we haven’t heard a thing about it until now? Inquiring minds want to know!

Gil Thorp; “The Days of his Life” The Musical

Vito from Goshen is taking action on whether Gil pays the ransom to get the family back or works on his juggling for the next talent show. The blue hair dye is finally causing migraine headaches for Coach.

What’s going on? What is he apologizing for?

P 2: yeah, Gil… I agree

P4 “I think I call Marty Moon and have a drink with him to ease my pain, what could go wrong?”

Is Gil so emotionally shattered after blurting out in his acceptance comment…errrrr…speech that he wished his family were there, that the pain and anguish, not to mention actually carrying through on his threat to Jami and Keri to put them on a slow boat to China if they didn’t eat there vegetables, has become so overwhelming Gil can barely function?

“I’ve got to go.” You can tell Gil is really getting older. He had to cut his speech short due to needing another bathroom break. And speaking of breaks, as long as you’re taking a break, take a look at today’s Mopped Up Thorp.

Things were going great for Gil, until he came home early from a conference one night to find Mimi was the middle of a Moon-Kaz sandwich…

And ,in all reality , Gil wakes up and tells Mimi , you won’t believe the dream I just had. Don’t worry Gil a nice hot cup of Ovalteen will make you feel better. Mimi you’re the best !

Monday, we hear Mimi say:“Was that last night?”

Everyone missed it. Turn in your Jr. G-Man Badges. Gil is humiliated because Mimi stole the tablecloth, the silverware, and all the dishes except Gil’s water glass. Now, everyone will know…Gil doesn’t drink City water!

P3: But I was a big hit with my water dousing joke….

Gil’s kids got memory holed years ago and NOW they are going to do an arc about his family? What the heck is going on here?
