    Hypothetically, I’d have to pass it along or go to the slammer.

    Ok, this is too much. Aaron is supposed to be flaky but sweet. Now he’s suddenly twice as bitter as Boo Radley ever was. No teacher or coach would stand for being talked to that way.

    If Gil wants to know what to do he should consult his library of Betamax copies of The White Shadow on the shelf in P1. Maybe he should get Detectives Salami and Coolidge back on the case.

    Looks like Sign Man is just phoning it in now. At least use a ruler, man.

    The hell with his mom, Gil, Get this kid to the Golden Corral and fill him up. Where are your priorities? The playdowns are coming, sometime in late May and this is your ticket in. Think of the marketing opportunities that come with another State Championship.

    Finally, someone agrees with me….forget about mom..get Aaron ready for the playdowns….by him a gift card to Sonic or some other place with enough dough to take him into June

    P1, Ahmm, A Quad, you just told the system. You must be delirious from lack of food.

    P2, A Quad must have threatened to talk to Marty about the Milford shower culture. Now what, Gil?

    P3, Hypothetically, if word got out about what goes on in the showers, how bad would it be for the un-named coaches?

    A Sonic gift card? Sitdown at Golden Corral? GilPa has Pedro, the finest Cabana boy/ short order cook in Milford. A more economical way of feeding this walking erector set.

    Just because his Mom is a pill popper shouldn’t affect him every other week.

    Poor Gil, all he wants to do is just win some basketball games this time of year.

    As I recall, Gil’s best recourse would be to send AQ to Tru’s QB camp. More food than a Caribbean Cruise

    Hypothetically, it sounds like you’ve got a sweet Blackmail set-up to me. “Uh, Mrs. Aaaa….”

    Question: At the end of the story, will all his teammates put little fast food franchises in their yards?

    I guess it’s easier to just put a black mark through photos of your former children than to replace their photos on your office wall. The third photo is probably the old family dog.

    Pass the information on to the Milford PD Vice Squad. They set up a sting in room 727 of the Milford Hotel. They get her on tape taking the drugs, and when they come to bust her, we can chuckle as she screams “The kid set me up!” Then after serving her jail term, she gets elected to another term as the mayor. Wait, I’m getting Mrs. A-quad confused with Marion Barry.

    In all reality, does anyone think that the counselor knows the answer to Gil’s hypo and even if he does he want to give it to Gil ? Hypothetically Coach, you could eliminate the Mom with extreme prejudice and say it was a drug deal gone bad .

    “You’re the wise adult, coach. You figure it out.” Rather than being critical of this teenager, I find his comment to be one of the more profound lines ever in Gil Thorp. 58+ years of this comic strip have just been explained succinctly by the wise A-A-ron.

    and then Aaaa quits the team because the coach made his mother cry. Aaaa then climbs to the top of Milford’s Gasoline storage tank, takes out the track teams starting pistol, aims a the roof beneath him and screams a St. Patrick’s day greeting: “Top of the Morning, Mom!”

    or we waist another month mulling this over when finally Gil makes Mrs. Aaaa realize she’s got a pill problem when he steals her stash and she spends hours on a Thorpian Easter Egg hunt find one pill here and one pill there (Prenatal discretion is advised).

    Yeah, that’s realistic dialog in P2 all right. Now if you want realistic dialog, just visit Mopped Up Thorp. It doesn’t get any more realistic than that.

    If some kid had said something like that to Coach Thompson when was still around they’d have had to scape what was left of the kid off the floor, the walls, etc. He’d have looked like Beetle does after Sarge gets through with him.

    Marty Moon misunderstood you. What’s this about holding the Bar Bill?

    “Yeah, that’s realistic dialog in P2 all right. Now if you want realistic dialog, just visit Mopped Up Thorp. It doesn’t get any more realistic than that.” Dude. Mopped Up Thorp is stupid. It was sort of cute at first. Sorry, it had to be said. Written, whatever.
