Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rachel Merrill for January 09, 2025

I have a feeling she will be joining Gil and Beth for some “lemonade.”

P3 is giving off some Gil Thorp, PI vibes.

preach!

The ever-changing face of Gil Thorp. I still have difficulty figuring out which character is him from day-to-day.

So… We the Snarkers are Bucko*, while the Milford coaches are Henry and Jackie is Rachel…

Well played, Henry, well played!

[* See 1/8/2025 for a reminder of who Bucko is!]

P3- Your team just won their opening game Coach. Why the long face? Care for a bucket of oats?

I only saw one guy. Is calling them some sort of sex identity thing?

Thorp. Gil Thorp.

P4 “Thanks Coach Thorp, but I’m going to lawyer up instead.”

P-1: So much for a special post game game.

P-2: Jackie and Rachel share their aversion to males, leaving Gil clueless.

P-3: Ever the egomaniac, Gil has business cards printed, showing High School COY as his occupation.

P-4: The snarkers roll over in their sleep.

P 3: “… thanks Coach but no thanks…keep it…”

jackie asks if i use this card ten times do i get a free pizza ?

bucko the ghostly trio and spooky will come back to beat down luke

P 2.5 (Toe): “…well, I heard that when they shouted your name in college, guys got what they wanted, so why would they stop now?…”

I’m surprised that this announcer wasn’t still on the radio hosting the post-game call in show for the next five hours.

P4:“Doesn’t he know that I can find his office number on the net? Wait, what is this? ‘Ask for Mistress Pearl?’”

Jackie is ready for her next shift as a Cookie Monster performance artist on the Milford strip, but she can’t drive with the head on.

P1&2- If #FireJoeMorgan with thousands and thousands of hits didn’t get Joe fired, why would one guy yelling “Bring Back Marty” convince Mr Leland to fire anybody?

P3- If I want to talk to my kid’s music teacher, why would I call Gil?

And, in the real world…no HS announcer would need a “coach’s card” as they would have all of the contact info for all of the schools they cover. And the coaches would know that. More of Henry’s lack of knowledge on the subject.

Sure. Marty’s job on the other hand… Oh, well.

That guy yesterday was the main character in the movie “Big Fan”.

P4: Gil: “Wait, you may want this instead [slips Jackie Marty’s AA chip]”

Last time we saw the school it was a detailed version of New Milford, CT High school.This one is something brutalist from northern Minnesota.What’s next, Manaus?

I like that jacket. What is it, dyed polar bear? And speaking of bear, most people can’t bear missing their daily Mopped Up Thorp.
