Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rachel Merrill for August 26, 2022

Ha. I mean, ja. I guess Gil agrees with my comment yesterday about the term “old lady”.

So, instead of “BWA-HA-HA!” we’ll be getting “BARA-JA-JA!”

Time for a beat down!

Driver as pugil stick?

I can’t remember seeing a golfer wearing two gloves. I, like most folk, wear one glove (on the weak hand).

P 4: “… after that shot, I should be calling you ‘ old lady’… hahaaaa…”

You know, Gil, he keeps turning his back to you, and you have the club.

Real men wear two gloves in The Valley. Anyone notice how short Lukewarm is? He must have been the Mugsy Bogues of the Pac12.

The only remaining question is whether this most unlikable GT character in years gets his beat down at MCC or on the gridiron when Second in the Valley is on the line. I’m going to have to check with Vito but I’m leaning towards Gil losing on the 18th hole and then pulling out a last second victory with a trick play in the fall.

Ploop! Was Gil taking notes during the recent summer story with the golf hustler?

The double entendre continues with the reference to “show you the ropes” ; just sayin.

P 3: “…don’t call her that….pendejo…”

P2.5 “And the riding crop and the blindfold…”

“…the sun was in my eyes…”…sure it was, Gil

C’mon man! You’re the Gilfather Club this *sshat and put him to sleep with the fishes and the golf ball you just sent them.

I hate it when the sun gets in my eyes while I’m looking at a ball on the ground.

Again with the LatinX stereotypes…

Don’t talk about my old lady that way, Martinez.

Meanwhile, the Milford, MI Mavericks lost their non-conference opener to the Huron Chiefs 31-24. Their odds for second place looking as good as always.

Why is Martinez laughing in Spanish? Will he sneeze in Spanish? Burp in Spanish?

Sun in your eyes??…..l’ve heard every excuse on the golf course but that one, even the golfers with tons of excuses know you are suppose to keep your head down and looking at the ball….

P 4 (Mimi’s voice from behind Luke): “…yeah!…don’t call me that! (slaps Luke)…”

Headline the next day: “Milford coach Arrested for Aggravated Assault with a Golf Club”

Gil, Gil, since when did you start making lame excuses for your shortcomings? I’d expect BHHL to say something like that. But what’s going on in the background? I think Mimi and Francesca are in the midst of a catfight while Pedro tries to break it up. Why aren’t we focusing on that! Come on cameraman, get over there! And speaking of getting over, you should be getting over to today’s Mopped Up Thorp.

Tomorrow Gil pulls the, "Ooh, my arm!” trick so that he doesn’t have to finish the round and lose. Danny Noonan takes his place.

Gil should take a whack at that ball on Hairy’s hat
