Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rachel Merrill for July 12, 2012

Gil looks like he’s dressed for basic training circa 1962.

Yep, it’s the length of those shorts. Rather dated, eh?

Oh come now. They were wearing those shorts in high schools into the late seventies, anyway.

So Steve is a typical Kent grad……

Gil, you can run and workout all you want, but your hands will never be as big as your wife’s.

All of you are jealous of Coach. He looks pretty good for a guy over 70 with the shorts pulled high, much like the way Fred Mertz wore his trousers on “I Love Lucy.”

I for one am jealous of Gil. I’ve got weight around my belly that I can’t lose, hair that’s beginning to look like those before pictures on the coloring commercials, and my kids won’t leave home. I don’t even have a coffee mug with my name on it. From where I sit, Gil seems to have it all.

P3 – He’s a great speed walker apparently. Mimi (or his girlfriend of the day) has to run just to stay even with him. But I don’t think it’s very smart of them to be running in the street during the night.

Steve majored in PoliSci and now he can’t go out until his hair and beard are down to his waist.

I know that it is a long running joke about the missing Thorp kids and dog, but if that is Mimi and Gil running, who is watching said missing kids? As I recall, they are pretty young. I would not go out for a jog with my young kids at home by themselves, and I would doubt they hired a baby sitter to watch while they jogged. They are without a doubt too focused on other people’s kids and completely forgotten about their own.

Hey Steve, how is that Occupy Milford protest going?

Mimi has a great rack . . . and to think “the girls” are being supressed by a sports bra too.

How’s that meal taste, Steve? Those McNuggets look soggy & your face seems to agree.

@wmac8898And neither will his spindly arms. He needs to mix in some weight training with that cardio. The part of Steve is being played by post-plastic-surgery Kenny Rogers.

I’m thinking Steve is going to be a new Unabomber, targeting Gil and all the other techno-fascist advocates. Gil is using a pealess whistle, by God and he must be stopped!

Is Mimi played by that girl that was Playmate of the Month for January 1962?

I’m still going with the aliens kidnapped the kids and erased Gil and Mimi’s memories. Steve’s troubles are the result of his own alien abduction while at Kent State.

Is that the smell of Sandusky wafting thorugh the Boone home?

A couple of days ago, the mom said what Steve needed most was time. Yeah, he needs time to finish writing The Milford Manifesto.

Oh, now I remember him. Steve’s the one who led Kent State to that memorable 1-12 record.
