Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rod Whigham for January 26, 2012

Is this all leading to a product placement for Brut grooming products? “The Mudlark Brutslap”. Brought to you by Brut – The Essence of Man.

Still don’t know where Bowen’s panther tattoo is. If it’s on his chest, I guess the uniform is hiding it. Or did we determine it was on his leg? Still laughing over the comment about the Richard Simmons workout clothes the other day.

Note to Parker Bowen: Some Head and Shoulders or Selsun Blue might take care of that itch. Or do you have lice?

Slap My Milford Biotch Down!

It’s Hi Karate night in Oakwood. Coach Tod Andrews and the Oaks intend to “erase” any hope of a ’Lark victory.

Oh yeah, well he who slaps last slaps loudest.

Hepatitis really has a way with jump shots

Is that a billboard the basket is attached to in P1?

not to be racist, but P2 looks like the student body of Oakwood is heavily Asian! Bet their math team kicks ass!

Was that Barney Stinson holding that sign. Does he want to start a Slap- a – Fest?

P1 – What is the Oakwood player doing? Based on the position of his hand he is shooting a hookshot away from the basket. Is he attempting an extremely difficult full court shot?P2 – Oh c’mon, how could another school know about the “tat slap”? Was it featured on ESPN?P3 – I thought maybe Bowen was doing one of those Mission Impossible “pull off the face mask moves” to reveal he’s really…..ME! That’s where I went!

Now Parker can get a hot air balloon tat for the other calf. Or maybe a zeppelin.

@cutter – Oakwood’s student body stricken with grief in P2 as the death of Kim Jong Il hits home.

Have Mop, I think you’re just jealous of whoever has been doing the shining job on Oakwood’s billboard/backboard.

Now I guess Parker’s gonna blame Lini’s lack of esprit de corps for his air ball.

Bench his tattooed butt.

Are we still talking about basketball here? Being down 5 at the half, although worse than being up by 5, is hardly worth pulling out ones hair. Parker needs to take a few deep breaths, stare at his lame panther tattoo, and be inspired to throw the alley-oop to Kareem. That will be slap-tat worthy. Maybe even inspire Lini to change his mind.

I think I see where this is going. Milf struggles for a coupla games, players regret the tattoos, Throp weighs in with some “words of wisdom”, players en masse begin removing the tattoos, then the Mudlarks go on a run deep into the playdowns. They get to stay at Motel 7 while playing in the playdowns.

Love me a Motel 7! Almost as good as a Horrid Johnson’s.

They need the tats to signify because the lettering on the jerseys is the smallest I’ve ever seen.

Doubt many Thorpalcholics recall the good Dr. Dunkenstein, much less saw in perform in person. Griff from that position woulda taken it up 2 handed, reversed in midair and tomahawked that pill home. Donnie Russell calls it a jam job.
