Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rachel Merrill for February 23, 2023

In P3, how heavy is Gil’s dumbell? What’s your over/under? Over/under on the winning life contest score? As for age, Gil should actually be around 90 — came to Milford in 1958, after high school (18) followed by a stint (2 years?) in the army, 4 years college, and 65(!) years at Milford. Guess those ARE good genes.

So their just.. confirming that gill is immortal at this point? I mean i’m not against that, i’m just assuming he is.

GilPa used to work out with Hans and Franz. Even though he welcomes failure, he ville pump you up.

The kids call him Coach Swole.

You have to be a special kind of stupid to forget to breathe.

Good thing Willie Mays Tays reminded everyone to breathe. It could have been a very short demonstration otherwise.

P1: “While you’re at it, make sure your heart is beating.”

P 1 & P 3: Gil only cares about curls for girls

P 2: “…let me try…”, like she’s never been in a weight room or done any kind of exercise before

Gil’s been watching Muscle Beach Party again.

P-1: Snowflake P.E. 101

P-2: Use Menen!

P-3: Tobi, the former kicker, and star HB, is impressed by 10lb. Curls. Now, just how impressive was Luke’s victory over Milford?

If these kids are just now being introduced to weights, the Lift-a-Thon is not going to go well. And speaking of going well, you’d be doing well if you were going to read today’s Mopped Up Thorp.

Tobe is emasculated as the girl volunteers first for weightlifting.

Hmm, maybe Tays—clean and jerking 225lbs—instead of Gil—curling at best 10 lbs—should represent MHS in the ’thon!

So, I guess Gil is going to participate in the liftathon,

P4- “And you’re pretty mouthy for a %!@*&)$.”

The excitement is killing me.

Being Non-Binary, Keri is disqualified from both events.

P 2.5: It’s twuu, it’s twuu!
