Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rod Whigham for August 10, 2024

Nothing is over until we say it is.

WHACK! Oh wait – the Gil Golf saga is over.

With that attitude, you’re going to end up living in a van down by the river!

Yes Yogi (Tobe). It aint’t over til it’s over and the Fat Lady is singing

Rod should get on with his life — time for college, the military, vocational training, a wider social life, GROWTH outside of basketball. Maybe Gil can help.

Presenting Elmer J Fudd on vocals.

You’re riding in my car

I turn on the radio

I’m pulling you closer

But you keep tellin’ me no

You say you don’t like it

But I know you’re a liar

’Cause when we kiss

Ooh…Fire.

Look son, in all reality, when the going gets tough the tough get going. Now git your sorry A?? out of the rack and join the Marines ! Maybe they can make a man out of you .

P 1.5 (Rod): Yes, I can. I thought you were sleeping and now you’ve ruined my concentration.

Rod sounds as if he’s going to the bridge. I volunteer to give him a ride. Just doing what I can to get him out of this train wreck he’s made of his life.

If his best isn’t good enough than how can it be good enough for two?

Great. A month of ToBe training Rod. First up: kegels

P1- (ToBe): “They told me to quit collecting rocks under my bed. They sent me a cease and desist letter because the walls are cracking from all the weight. But that letter is fuel for the fire, and I’ll never quit!”

Geez… what kind of dump does Mel live in with cracked walls?

rod go live at the rez you get your own teepee and all the booze you can handle

gil on phone call to chef tobe uh beth wants toast you have a recipe

send rod to live with jun jun that will knock him out of his stupor

I like how ToBe apparently stood on the chair so that he could yell directly into quitter Rob’s ear. And speaking of yelling, I’m yelling from the rooftops that today’s Mopped Up Thorp is online.

Gil: “There is no I in quit!”

Where’s the film crew for all of this?
