witness protection?

Fatal Attraction?

In all reality , did you ever see the TV or movie the Fugitive ? Maybe Greg’s Dad is on the run or seeking the One Armed Man here in Milford ? Tomorrow at lunch I’m standing on a table and ask for help in solving this mystery

You know… If your face is so recognizable that you worry about an amateur doing a fast pan shot across a crowd in the bleachers might ID you, you could never walk into a store, or restaurant, or down the street without fearing recognition. If you’re walking around with your face hanging out in public this having your wife throw herself on your face only invites people to ask who you are trying to hide.

What!? The strip is now part of the comments…how ingenious!

P3.5 “Now you’re looking at my finger, wanna pull it?”

….even weirder that some of us may care about this season’s plot. Whatever it may become.

Keep your eyes on the field, scrub! After all, baseball is a sport of non-stop action!

What’s really weird is that there would be an actual crowd at a high school baseball game. The games I covered had two or three dozen people, tops.

Poor kid is probably going to be out with whip lash. He’s busy checking out Heather (believable), but then turns his head 180 degrees to see what she’s filming (yeah, right) and does it so fast he:1) identifies where see’s looking; 2) is so quick he catches Mom’s quick response; 3) identifies the couple in the stands; and has an epiphany that the reaction was intentional. Junior G-men unite!

I could use a rally hippo, a TCFS button, a Tat Slap, or a Hraaaking peacock right about now.

Manual scoreboard in P3? It looks huge for the small town of MILFord; hope they have enough innings to keep track of Mimi’s scores!

P2: Secret what agent?

P 4 (much later, in a sparsely populated parking lot): 2 or 3 goons approach Heather, take her camera, smash it, pull the tape out of the VHS or Hi-8 cassette, throw a couple of 20s at her, and tell her “…Mr. Hamm don’t like getting his picture took….next time, it won’t just be the camera that gets smashed…”

Weird is not the word I would use. Stupid; maybe.

Milford spares no expence to keep the players safe with fencing all around the dugout while the fans sit in front of the backstop.

Oooo, a secret agent….cue Johnny Rivers: Givin’ you a number and takin’ away your name…

Kid can’t see, dad can’t be seen…

P3: As testament to Big Eldrick Boston’s power, he pokes a bigger hole in the chain link fence with his massive digit.

The Burns family has been in Milford for years. Maybe we now know what happened to Judge Crater.

Mr Hamm is really Gil’s missing kid with premature gray hair

I’m wondering what happened to the kid talking in P1. In P2 he apparently fell to the ground, based on where the speech bubble is coming from. And speaking of where things are coming from, hilarious(?) dialog is coming from Mopped Up Thorp. At least occasionally.
