Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rachel Merrill for February 08, 2023

Gil looks like Norm MacDonald in P3.

Who’s going to tell Tays that he’s getting paid half of what Kaz made?

Why does Tays get a white shirt instead of red?!?

So does Tays report to Head Assistant Coach Cami? Quite the hierarchy for a 3 person group. Is this to provide Gil more time to teach quantum theory or to mop the floors?

Please remind me, why is Tays overqualified? Lots of years in the NBA?

“Who’s ready to dominate?” Next thread — S&M?

Back in late November, Henry had Tays as the big deal Milford football player in 1987 tackled by Luke Martinez in the next-to-last play of the state championship game, which turned Martinez into a nutball. Maybe Luke will tackle Tays again on the basketball court. when Milford plays Valley Tech.

“head assistant coach” ? What does that make him ? Assistant assistant coach ?

Tays what?

P1 Cami, like the ants, appears ready to swarm all over and have her a big, heaping helping of ET for herself.

P2 Cami flirts while at the same time asserting what the hierarchy is, reminding Emmett who is (or will be) on top.

P3 After a moment of awkward silence, the “Fellas” break down in side-splitting laughter knowing “Coach” Thorp doesn’t know jacksh*t about dominating anything, having just looked at Mimi’s MILFs of Milford page and saw the pictures of her spanking Gil as she was telling him she was going to Scottsdale.

P3- Mimi’s and Mrs. Lark’s favorite question.

No way!

With three coaches, at least one of them has to show up at games- right?

Who the heck is this guy, and why is everyone so in awe of him?

P 2.5 (Tays): “….I’m looking forward to coaching basketball with you too!…”

Don’t Tays me, bro!

P1: Cami Ochoa welcomes E.T. by puffing up her chest and rubbing it against him.

P2: Cami reminds E.T. of the correct terminology for addressing each other.

P3: Get ready for Fifty Shades of Milford.

So, they bring this guy in on the day of a game?

P-1: From Oliver: Consider yourself, Hanks Tool!

P-2: At the mention of her title, Cami lets it be known it should be reciprocal.

P-3: The slow ball is hit. It’s a looong flyyy baaal to deeep, deeep….

Well, it’s now been almost two weeks since we’ve seen actual basketball game action — in the middle of basketball season, in which Milford has played (checks notes) three games by the second week of February. At this rate, basketball season won’t end until the school year does…which is fine, because it’s doubtful the author knows anything about baseball or softball, either.

welcome emmett tays who may or may not ever appear again

Next game when that is ,Gil asks the refs in all reality to throw him and Cami out of the game . As Gil leaves the court he says Takem home Tazzer .

“Looking forward to working with you Head Assistant Coach Tami” A cumbersome sentence, for one, and, two, can you be a ‘Head Assistant Coach’? You can be an ‘Assistant Head Coach’. Then again, as Brent Musburger once famously said on the air… “Every assistant is always on the lookout for a head job somewhere.”

P2- Shouldn’t Cami be the “Assistant Head Coach”?

Tays????You can call me Emmett.You can call me Emmett Tays.You can call me Assistant Head Assistant Coach TaysYou can call me Assistant Sanitation Engineer Reporting to Dr. Pearl When She’s Not Moonlighting As a Bartender At Milford Lounge Assistant Head Assistant Coach Emmett Tays.But ya doesn’t got ta call me Tays.

I’m not a long time Thorp reader. Am I supposed to know who Emmett Tays is? Or just assume he is some former basketball great within the strip’s universe?

It’s 3:04 PM. Do you know where your MOP is? This has been a PSA. Had it been an actual emergency, you would have been advised to turn to your local CONORAD station for further instructions.

P-4: After hearing Gil’s insensitive comment about White man’s domination, the Amerind, the Black kid, the Arab, the Asian, and the Latino quit the team.

Wow, I don’t often toot my own horn, but that floor shine is some of my best work ever! And speaking of my best work, today is not my best Mopped Up Thorp work, but it’s not bad.
