Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rachel Merrill for October 11, 2017

Come on, this is Milford. Substitute Frankie Avalon for Ed Sheeran.

It just hit me — Uncle Gary has been watching Ozzie and Harriet and sees Rickey Soto as the next Ricky Nelson. And from the way those girls are reacting, he might have something.

Right you are, ChipHilton, Frankie, for sure!

He’s gone from Mack the Knife to Rick the Spoon – too bad Ellis forked out all the bad cutlery jokes yesterday.

In all reality , whose Mom is it with all the bracelets swooning over Double R , Rockin Ricky Soto ? Isn’t Mrs Bracelet too old to be hanging at the Bucket ? Inquiring minds want to know .

Who knew? Uncle Gary knew

I’ll admit it. I had to google “Ed Sheeran”.

A Spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go downThe medicine go down-wownThe medicine go downJust a spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go downIn a most delightful way!

Doing his Bond improve, Ric retorts, “Andre, I must pass the shoe, err, spoon.”

P4: The Bucket is closed by police as they do not have proper licensing for operating a cabaret.

MHS fight song: “Hail to the Valley’s second place victors!” sung to the tune of U of M fight song

So, are we going to crowdsource the Milford fight song, or what?

Hail Milford, hail to thee,Champions ever we shall be,Conquering with speed and power,Just don’t talk about the shower…

For his grand finale he’ll break into the old Steppenwolf song “The Pusher”.

P1, Rick(ey) stares longingly at the coke spoon.

P2, Well, I’m really disappointed. I was so looking forward to this fight song.

P3, The girl with the 3 sets of handcuffs on looks to be all googly-eyed over Rick(ey). This could be interesting, which would be a first for this story.

The black girl has a face like Mick Jagger.

So according to Mick Jagger lady in P3, Ed Sheeran recorded the Milford fight song? He just played in concert here the other day. Wish I would have went, would have liked to have heard the song.

“That’s the Sound of of the Men Working on the O Line”

or “Fwee Widdle Fitties in a Iddy Biddy Poo”

Is that one of those mini spoons in P1, like the soda jerks give out when you want to sample a flavor?

P4: “he’s just so dreamy”

So many possibilities for MUT today….

Is that spoon handle broken or is it embedded in his palm/wrist? And speaking of broken, I don’t want to sound like a broken record but another version of Mopped Up Thorp is online.
