Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rachel Merrill for June 09, 2017

“Heel of the hand?” That’s one of my favorite strikes to recommend to folks for self defense.

Hmmm.. I’d like to hear Alyssa’s parents’ version of this incident.

Starring Pat Morita as Mr. Van Aiken…wax on, wax off…

Ok, so that’s what he said happened, it isn’t necessarily what happened.

In all reality , G Gordon Liddell aka Mr Van Aiken says Look Gil Ryan knows over 1001 punches and strikes. I taught him myself . The Three Stooges taught him the 2 finger eye poke. Pick 2 Gil !

Mrs. van A demonstrates using the “heil” of the hand.

If this was a talk show, someone in the audience would be shouting, ‘’PUSHING AND HITTING ARE THE SAME THING’’

Mrs. VA has aged dramatically since yesterday. She went from Yvonne Craig to Patricia Neal. Agree w/ Mr. Reality. Mr. VA is more Liddy today versus yesterday’s Whipple.

So he broke her orbital bone or something? Did she have to walk around wearing special glasses like Moses Malone when the same thing happened to him?

Looks like Gil is in the chair Mr. Van Auken was occupying when Gil arrived. It would have been a nice touch for Mr. Van Auken to go all Archie Bunker and tell Gil, “No, no, not there.”

“She tried to run at him, but as he defended himself by putting his hands up, he caught her with the heel of his hand. There was no truth to the witness rumors that he ‘accidentally’ caught her again as he tried to help her up…twice.”

Hey; if Dr. Phil says he never broke her nose then he didn’t. After all it’s his show.

Question: Ryan, Mr. & Mrs. Van Ryan are all standing at the top of the stairs. Allyson is lying at the bottom of the same stairs. Who pushed her?

Answer: No one, she fell.

Ah, so that thing we thought was a birthmark on Alyssa’s cheek was really the remnants of her injury?

The Van Awkward’s appear to be pretty well off but even they can’t evade the Milford ant infestation.

He was trying to push her out of the way but she repeatedly rammed her cheekbone into the heel of his hand. But he didn’t hit her.

This reminds of the time Mike Tyson was asked about the best punch he ever threw. Without hesitation, and with a big smile on his face, he replied, “The one I hit Robin Givens with.”

No, he didn’t hit her, she walked right into his hand. Doesn’t matter if it is a push or shove. He raised hands to a woman, and that just isn’t right.

Palm strikes are generally recommended as a self defense move for people who don’t know how to make a true fist and land it properly.

And where is young Ryan. If he’s out brooding, how soon til we see Brenda Starr-wannabe DD try to push him into “pushing” her away so she can write her exposé?

He didn’t hit her. It was more of a bunt.
