Ok Keri — my prognostication is that the placebo will give Max a mental lift that will help his game, and Bobby will keep up the subterfuge through the rest of the season, telling Max the truth at the end.
Today’s (actually yesterday’s at this point) Mopped Up Thorp. Looks like I wasn’t the only one to notice Bobby’s sudden growth spurt.My predictions – Bobby gave him a placebo (DUHHHH) and Max will play a great game. They’ll keep it up for a while and then either Gil or Kaz will find out about the pills and raise holy hell until they find out they are fake. But then Gil will still ream out both guys. There has to be some excuse for Gil to make an appearance by the end of the season.
Now that’s some funny stuff, MOP! But has anything ever been funnier than this.

But Bobby, how am I supposed to take the pill with my mouth shut?

John Pascoe used to have a t-shirt just like that. (Speaking of keeping your mouth shut.)

Just as well Milford isn’t in Massachusetts: even for a placebo, Bobby would get expelled. Frigging zero-tolerance nonsense.

Adderall possibilities=heart attack, need for a little blue pill… So when will someone need to call 911?

I’m not saying they’ve telegraphed the placebo twist, but even us way out here in the hidden corners of Asia know it.

Keep your mouth shut and pop that ZZ Top song in your 8 track., “Mellow Down Easy.”

In all reality, how is Bobby going to fit through the door in P3 ? Maybe he should pass out some of the growth pills he’s taking.

One pill makes you larger annnnd one pill make you small, and the ones that Bobby gives you don’t do anything at all.
