Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rachel Merrill for August 31, 2012

I predict a bromance.

Nice touch having the moving cartons around for a family that has just arrived, but the movers did a lousy job — all the "This Side Up’ arrows are pointing to the right.

Those arrows are the printing company’s fault. The box shouldn’t be able to be opened with the arrow pointing horizontally, LOL! Maybe we’ll see a “chip of the ol’ mountain?” …a big kid? So what country is someone from if the term “junior” needs to be explained?

“Dat’s me husband Tum and me lad Terry.” Watch out for that hair in the bisquit. Doubt young Terrance will be the answer at QB. Could Brody lose his PK job?

I see a Chip vs. Lini battle coming

“And that will be Terry, an IRA fugitive on the run….”

Uh oh, I’ve seen that P3 MILF look before (on late night Cinemax I think), and as for P1, the Dick Van Dyke show is going to need that furniture back for the big reunion show they have planned for MeTV.

Anita Visci rhymes with I need a biscuit

Has Thor P every had gay students before? Perhaps this is going in that direction… although I do like the naughty neighbor angle a little more.

Perfect! So’s my son Chip. Perhaps you can walk to school together. I’ll make cookies!

Can we get to freakin’ football? Our first game is tomorrow. Terry probably plays rugger or possibly Australian Rules football and will think our football gear is for wusses.

chiphilton, those boxes were salvaged and used to contain “Look Right” signs like you see all over London.

Hasn’t she introduced herself three times now in the same conversation?

@Wooderson: I thought so at first, too, but I think it has only been twice. Going back to earlier in the week, we can piece the conversation together this way:

ANITA (standing at front door): “I’m Anita from next door. Welcome to Beech Street.”

ANITA (apparently trying again): “Anita Visci. My family lives next door.”

MAEVE (roused from her stupor): “I’m Maeve, and I thank you for the biscuits.”

MAEVA AGAIN (now standing in the living room, introducing Anita to Tom): “Anita Visci, my husband Tom, and that’ll be Terry.”

Then we hear from Terry, presumably after Tom grunted some form of hello. Like all things in Milford, the whole interaction seems a bit awkward.

Mimi is now with the missing Thorp kids!?

Max, I think you’re on to something. Maybe they’ll keep them around for when they feel homesick. (Lots of Irish in London.) I suppose at some point they’ll fill us in on this family’s last name.

How long before Chip and Terry are breaking into houses and stealing cars? Terry is not sure what a "junior’ is because he’s already 19, and missed 3 year of school while in reform school. I think Gil can make a linebacker out of him.

@kdizzleLini never was never mentioned as openly gay, although it is a pretty safe assumption.

With all that traffic and debris in the house, I’ll bet those floors could use a professional cleaning. Maybe ol’ Steve should stop by with some biscuits of my own and try to sell my services.
