Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rachel Merrill for March 10, 2022

And “Blowtop” Maddie Bloom, you are in exile.

Hollis’ college sports future has “intramurals” written all over it.

What the h*ll kind of coach speak logic is Mimi spewing in P3? Did you mention the position change to Cami, much less practice so she could get acclimated? You covered who the backup guard will be but who is the starter? Will Milford be playing four on five for portions of the game whenever the backup guard is on the bench? How is this all about Talley(Ho) again? How are there more than two (Hollis and her bestie) girls left on the team after all the captain’s petty, self-centered antics? Does Mimi even have a clue that she is getting played like a fiddle? Where are the strings?

P3 Who is Hollis getting ready to make out with in the background? Bestie’s going to be “Blowtop” mad too when she sees that action going down on that end of the bench…errrr…chair that is slightly away from the bench

Wait, he admits to running a gambling ring and trying to hire a hit man to collect debts and he’s still on the team?

Yesterday, a high five. A minute later, in real time, a fist bump. Tomorrow, a handshake?

Mimi can’t play until Gil can look at her so she practices with Pedro.

Removing your captain from the starting lineup? What say you, readers?

Beer gut Jimmy is who should get stuffed in a locker, in all reality

Wànt to see when Gil stuffs Pandora in a locker .Gil has stuffed him in the showers but in all reality this will be a first.

I’ve never heard of any future cadet who comes off the bench.

P1: “Coach says I can practice with the team, but I probably won’t get any playing time now that I’m 4-feet-10.”

Perhaps Mimi is actually the one pullin’ a fast one on HT…“…what a ‘small world’!…..good idea Hollis!…you should play guard!…” and then keep her on the end of the bench and not play her at all.

3/10 seems about right.

The Gilfather collected all of Pranit’s IOU’s and bought Pedro a new pool skimmer.

Monthly 3/10 comment

P1- What color should I use for…..Oh, never mind.

P2- Rock paper scissors?

P3- Shortest girl on the team at forward. That should work.

I guess Pranit’s basketball career is over, based on Gil’s statement. Because none of us can ever stand looking at him. But that’s been true all season. And speaking of true, it’s true that today’s Mopped Up Thorp is available.

Two of the players better hope David Seville stays away.

Oh, and everyone in the hall, including the one Gil wants to stuff in a locker. Who changes color by doing a fist bump with the other guy who also changes color. I guess they have nothing to worry about.

P3: Is it smart to wear earrings while playing? Sounds like a good way to get half a Van Gogh.
