Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rachel Merrill for November 26, 2022

FINALLY!!

Happy birthday, Sparky!

Who is Sparky? Sparky Anderson (who died in 2010) would have been “only” 88 today.

OK, we’ve gotten some sports action, no more whining lack of it for another month now

Good luck with this one Mop.

Don Salvatore (“Sparky”) from Goshen, revolutionized the collection industry by using blowtorches and flame throwers. Happy Birthday, since we’re giving shoutouts to friends and relatives.

Is this an in game commercial of the VT vs Milford 1987 game tape? Charlie Brown tastes some kindness and becomes a huge success? This is the monster created by GilPa?

Finally something that makes sense!

Charles Schultz’s birthday today. He always worked, took maybe one vacation his career. He thought he might run out of ideas if he took time off. Peanuts is 8 or 9 years older than Gil. That strip generates millions of dollars of revenue.

P4 “Ummm Tobias…I need to talk to you about our kicking situation…”

Well, the kick may have been good if the field goal was from 4 yards out with a CFL goalpost placement at the front of the endzone.

Charlie Brown’s life is tough enough without playing for Gil.

Coaches Held Hostage: Coach Kaz, Day 46. 46 is the name of the defense that Buddy Ryan created and employed to lead the ‘85 Bears to the Super Bowl Championship. It was named after safety Doug Plank’s uniform number. It was a big deal back then when offenses used two running backs and two wide receivers, but it’s no longer effective with the greater number of receivers used today. 46 is also the number of chromosomes in the human body — 23 pairs. And Joe Biden is considered the 46th president of the U.S. (Grover Cleveland counts as two presidents because he served non-consective terms.)

Gil is nicer than b**** Lucy

Now catch it and run with it to complete the rainbow kick!

Nicely done, Gil Thorp. ’

Of course there’s a huge question… where the hell are they going to find a helmet big enough to fit the bald kid?

All these tributes and no mention of Charlie Brown’s baseball player idol. Good Grief

A nice tribute. Hopefully Henry marks his calendar for a September 22, 2023 100th birthday shout-out to Jack Berrill.

Good job today Henry!

Well that was nice. But now it’s time to learn, “the rest of the story”. Only available in Mopped Up Thorp.

BIRTHDAY

An excellent tribute to a great man.

In all reality , good job today Hank

that’s a nice kick Charlie Brown, glad you were able to do it finally

If anyone can reply to me with the web address for Milford’s one and only Mop Man. I had a serious crash of my email—lost it all—and among that was my link for Mop Man. Thanks in advance

So sweet!
