What do we have to do to ensure that this story line has died the death? Sacrifice a goat? Bury printouts of the strips at a crossroads with a stake through them? TAKE PITY ON US!
So the valuable lesson is that parental discipline is all that is required for kids these days to behave themselves? That merely trying to buy their love with Jeeps and gas cards isn’t enough? Boooooo
Mop, a while back I mentioned Ground Hog Day and 6 more weeks of this story. Well, it looks like we’re less than half way there and we still don’t know if the girls won the valley or how they did in the playdowns. At this point, I don’t care anymore I just want this to stop. Please!
He’s on the left, he’s on the right, he’s back on the left, while the Fist Pump Man family waits in the back round to salute the big make out scene that results in. . . A high five! Oh the humanity!
In all reality , " How do I feel , like I’m going to pass out . Ever hear of deordorant , True ? Put your arm down , get your baseball buddies and hit the showers . See you on the links this afternoon , Mommy and Daddy will be playing with us ."
Would it be heretical to suggest that being grounded for two weeks will not resolve the issues between Boo and her mother, or in any way make her a better person?
I know my job here is to keep track of how long the main characters have been missing from the strip – for Kaz it’s 43 days and “Coach” Mimi, it’s 84 days, which means she missed the entire softball season – but True quoting Boo inspired me to collect the Best of Boo Quotes. I tried to make it a Top Ten, but there are just too many, so I went with my Favorite Fifteen. It’s hard to believe that these weren’t written by Mop:•If you need to ask, little fella, you don’t deserve to know.•Parental guilt would be a terrible thing to waste.•Ladies, I think I’ve found the upside of divorce.•I know it’s not Wednesday, but it’s ok if we hug, right?•Great. She’s false and I’m multiple choice.•Read a book sometime.•Don’t forget Miss Smart Mouth – you still have to take batting practice.•Not bad. Get yourself a coffee.•Here’s the part where you kiss me good night.•I’ll knock down the third batter in the third inning, just for you.•I’ll leave a mushy note in your locker instead.•Read the context clues – if you can read at all.•Does your parole officer know you’re here?•These guys won’t take “buzz off” for an answer.•Care to translate that into logic?
Gee, why all the negativity? The moral of the teen lesson is that even totally unattractive girls can win the heart of the State Champion QB if they share mental insecurities like defensive acting out. Theme song: If you want to be happy for the rest of your life never make a pretty woman your wife.
Two hands slapping front and center in P3! Updating the count for Random Hand Gestures we now have:One Hand Out – 18Dramatic Finger Point – 8Two Hands Up – 7Random Hand Gestures – 6One Hand Stop (Talk to the Hand) – 3Two hands up doesn’t apply, that category is for one person going, “whoa, slow down” and such.
So we depart the hallowed (and very clean) halls of Milford High and traipse to Milford Country Club, where Gil (sorry, STATE CHAMP COACH GIL) attends to his cushy no-work job while Kaz maps his course for his car trip to Hawaii and Mimi attends a summer-full of “Basketball Camps” with her faithful pool boy, whom she claims has a camera hobby that earned him the nickname “Tripod”

The real breakthrough will be starting a new story. Gil Thorp fans will be high-fiving all over the country.

“We’ve had a breakthrough” sounds like it may be a story-ending line. Then again, as Boo pointed out, it’s not the first time we’ve heard it.

I’m not sure, but doesn’t something bad happen when the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers bang their bracelets together like that.

True solved Boo’s issue with her mom without Gil’s help. I think True’s has the stuff necessary for a 70-year career as a high school coach.

If today didn’t close this out (and honestly who can tell from what we got today?) the writers sure missed an appropriate anniversary for it.
