Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rachel Merrill for April 13, 2010

That’s right, Mimi! Never let go!

The Thorpes have their “A” game on today. Gil appears ready to pick the kids nose and Mimi is just plain catty.

Yeah Cassie is back, woo hoo!

It’s called tough love luke and razor.

Maybe Steve will graduate to lawn boy, and start picking off bases with Cassie.

Ok, so let me guess. Cassie will play 2nd base and lead off. Steve, aka Janitor in a Drum, will now be lawnboy as grshprnh has stated. But lawn boy will not settle for 2nd base as he goes for them all with Cassie. Stay tuned as Cassie will be pregnant, complete with morning sickness as the tournament comes up. It turns out that Lawn boy also has softball coaching skills as he helps Cassie bunt and steal bases. Should be an exciting Spring!

OK, so let me see if I’ve got this straight. Derek is channeling Tim Lincebleeep (haircut and all), while the Gil salivates over the prospects of having a nightclub hopping country music star wannabe as his 5th starter. Mimi, in her best bleeep pose, challenges Cassie to, among other things, grow her freckles back before she can even think about rounding second base with Lawn Boy bleeep Jani King.

I feel like Al Pacino. “Just when I thought I was out of it, they drag me back in!” Is it too early to start thinking about Spring football practice?

Hokey smokes, Bullwinkle. The comic Nazi doesn’t like the “cee-yoo-em” word. Not no way, not no how.

Since when does delivering pizza for a buck make you a low-life?

Ahh, never mind - Mimi’s back!

Derek and Gil are sharing the same hair oil from the 50’s what was that called “vaseline hair tonic”?

Thanks Browns44, that’s what I used… made famous by Joe Willie Namath, my dad used the vaseline. Those were the days!

@grshprnh

“Brylcream, a little dab will do you, Brylcream,the girls will love to run their fingers through your hair”

Is that the stuff your thinking of? Cause if it is, it was the main reason for the oil shortage in the early 1970’s!

How can that kid be country when he is rocking the Mike Score “Flock of Seagulls Hair’?

P1: “…now pull my finger!”

Poor Mimi. Every time she sees a girl like Cassie, it reminds her of how she got taken in by a smooth-talking lowlife…named Gil Thorp.

Mimi Spank!

Browns44, you’re thinking of Vitalis.

No way will Cassie be a pitcher. Everyone scores on her.

Cassie sighting! And yeah, I remember Vitalis – clear oily liquid that I used to apply liberally to my Roger Maris flattop when I was a kid.

Burn! hisssss

Derek’s face in P1 says it all, “F**K YOU, Thorp!!

“I don’t know if we can use you Derek, but perhaps you can sing the national anthem.”

Cassie, they typically don’t need anyone to mop the softball field, so you’re chances of seeing Steve are slim.

Grrrrrr…. you go Mimi! If looks could kill! If not, those karate chop hands will. And finally, we’ve established that Steve isn’t a lowlife. Well, he’s kinda low.

Brown 44: At a distance of 50 years, with your leave, I offer the Bryclcream commercial:

Bryclcream, a little db will do you Bryclream, you’ll look so debonaire Bryclream, the gals will pursue you Simply rub a littlein your hair!

I’m not going to oferf the Vaseline Hair tonic commercial, but will comment that it promised “double care, check dry scalp, have neater hair.’

I believe ‘play softball’ is code for ‘date other girls’

My Mom used to drown my hair in Vitalis until it was hard enough to deflect small arms fire. Once I got old enough to dodge her (not an easy task), I never went near the stuff again.

Hey, the wet head is dead…

Browns44— you’ve got your hair tonics mixed up. Don’t you mean Wildroot or O’Dell’s Hair Trainer. That goes back away don’t it

Ok, it was a long time ago, back when I was my dad’s channel changer, back before push button phone dialing and only about 5% of tv broadcasts were in color. I remember Vitalis was a liquid like after shave, Bryclream was a like thin, oily like white tooth paste. While I recall Wildroot I never heard of O’Dell’s. Mundoi has the jingle right. Thanks! Looking back I have to wonder what the flash point was for all those products and how many men lost their hair while lighting the then acceptable cig? Maybe when we follow Gil in the Rexall Drug Store we can look for men’s hair products.

Ouch! That’s gonna send her to the Mop man, for a shoulder to cry on.
