Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rachel Merrill for August 21, 2013

It’s a lead-pipe cinch that this story has kept us all guessing. Not sure what the Fugitive hit Hairy with, though — looks more like one of those giant Christmas candy canes.

Who’s Gil? It should say Beau Dandy prepares to charge.

Lead pipe? Naw, just plastic drawn like lead to fool us. We know “wrasslin” is real, though!

The classic lead pipe knock out, oh the memories.

47 comments yesterday…is that a new record? Someone out there must have nothing better to do and has kept track.

Right on it Chip! Thanks to insomnia, I’m up wondering how long before Kaz calls it a double disqualification? Does Gil/Beau get closelined as he “charges” across the ring? And good first call yesterday by Tawson on The Fugitive jumping into the action. I’m wondering if there is a single arm sleeper hold? Actually, I could really go for a sleeper hold for myself right now!

I sure would like to be a cardboard paper salesman in Milford. At every single sporting event, someone is holding up some kind of sign.

Is Kaz on Slimfast? He looks puny. Gramps will GORE Dandy for the 1-2-3…with Kaz occupied by Hairy, The Fugitive will “save” Beau with a pipe shot.

Agreed Bear. Gramps victory on Friday with Subwich celebration on Saturday. This absurd storyline has certainly gotten my interest.

The Fugitive gives him the old one-tw….well, the old one!In P3 is Gil about to say “eat my shorts!”?

In all reality, can anyone predict if there will be an abrupt or seamless ttransition to the football storyline ?

Okay, what exactly does that sign say in P3? Rock Coach? Rock It Guy? Rock Cox?

My favorite comic has finally jumped the shark.

Oh My God, in P3 he’s going for the Beau Dandy Pelvic Thrust Crush. That’s a move that has been banned in every state.

And when this battle ends in 2015, it will be on to 2013 football I hope.

Looks like some kind of pipe being wielded by the Fugitive, but at least he grabbed the end with the rubber.

Maybe it is the fugitive’s prosthetic limb, looks like an elbow joint. Oh the humanity! And for all the haters of this storyline, it is probably the best one in a couple years, proof by the interest of the commenters.

This storyline is whack…err…wack…err…wait! In P1…WAK!

CLUE: It was the Fugitive with the Lead Pipe in the Wrestling Ring. I sure hope there is a cage re-match.

Disclaimer up front … my 89-yr-old father is developing memory issues, so there has been a degree of poignancy in all this.

That said, I’ll have to admit I’ve been drawn to this whole cockeyed story line like a moth to a flame … like rubberneckers to a car wreck … like Marty to the hooch … like Mimi to the cabana boy … okay, enough, sorry

I predict that Beau Dandy will win the match, but Herc and the Mauler will attack him and “knock him out,” leaving him “unconscious” in the ring.

Time to deliver a Flying Fred Curry drop kick!

Herk the Mauler pins Beau Dandy with the help of a quick count by Kaz in what will be forever remembered by wrestling fans as the Milford screwjob.

I bad mouthed this story line earlier, but I be lovin it now. Please don’t let that peacock jump on Beau’s back or maybe that’s not such a bad idea. Feel sorry for Have Mop as he has a heavy night ahead cleaning up the mess this crowd is going to leave.

I’m sure student volunteers and the Booster Club will cheerfully clean up. Good chance to log those service hours.

Chip. Service hours have been ruled an involuntary form of servitude and soon will be banned in most if not all schools.

Could be something for the golf camp kids to do tomorrow.

Do ya’ll remember when the Clampetts ‘rassled’ that family on the Beverly Hillbillies? This made me think of that series of episodes.
