I always figured Marty lived in a boarding house. If that’s his own place, not bad for a guy who announces high school sports, not to mention surprisingly well-kept.
They haven’t even started 2 a days yet, but Marty’s already in mid-season form.
Two things I never thought I’d see in the same sentence, Kardashians and IQ points. One other thing I thought I’d never see was the end of that last story line. Now why are we in L.A. again? Could Marty be going big time?
Clearly, the waiter throwing his voice through his armpit is a ventriloquist looking for his big break in the City of Angels. Can’t wait to see where THIS plot line is headed.
In all reality , welcome back Bitsy but I worry that this story line might lead you to depart again. P 3 Note the leisure suit on the wanna be producer at the table and the alien spacecraft .
Eh, I’m sure the story lines from the end of last football season on drove a LOT of folks away. God knows why we’re still here. (Possibly if it wasn’t for MUT’s humor, I wouldn’t be.)
Sorry Bitsy, did’nt read prior comments after my initial scan!This thing has “evolved” light years from the old Rockin the Armory, Waxing Nostalgic efforts. Like watching the VMA’s.
Moonpie must have had a successful summer at Milford Downs. The rent and loansharks are paid. Marty…..it’s better to be a fish than to sleep with them.
We haven’t had a “poor Marty” story in a long time. Maybe Marty goes too far with his drinking and joins AA. Has Gil ever slugged Moon for saying something?
“I’m the only fish. Here’s to me.” For those who keep track of such things, this is another entry in the Gil ThorP favorite lines of all times. (My personal favorite is still, “I need to meet the peacock” from January19, 2013)
WAIT – So the “college recruiting process turned upside down” is over? WHERE’S THE BIG PAYOFF FOR SITTING THROUGH THAT CRAP ALL SUMMER?SERENITY NOW! SERENITY NOW!
Now Rub-Ham are taking away my ability to paste in alcohol for Marty by just having him chug away. Between that and the non-stories they’re trying to drive me out of business! And speaking of driving, you don’t have to drive anywhere to see today’s Mopped Up Thorp.What scares me is that every story seems to get worse, and in a couple of years we’ll reminisce about missing the good stories from the past, like this summer’s.
Sadly MOP has completely nailed the coming story line. Of course there will have to be another guy involved to complicate Marty’s moves on the “new girl in town” (gratuitous cue for tomorrow’s theme song. Which will then evolve into the ever popular “three little fishees”.
TV show angle? how about Undercover Writers? Rub-in and Whig-ham pose as ‘the next disposable asst coaches’ to find out what really goes on in their strip.
Good to see Bitsy back from her self-induced exile! Sure have been a lot of dud storylines. If this was a fireworks show there’d be a lot of booing.“Tru(e) wears #7, it’s part of his brand. It’s non-negotiable!” “Nope.” Never mentioned again, the end.“No – don’t ask her about her nickname!” Someone asks, she answers, the end.“Tru(e) and pals have a brilliant plan to upend college recruiting!” Tweet choice, the end.Etc., etc., etc.

Omg, is that other “story” finally over? I’ve never been so happy to see Marty Moon getting drunk.

…agree with Bitsy, never has a Marty sighting been more welcome!
Is he drinking in a library or maybe a law office? Loks like book shelves behind him

Polonius should say, “To thine own self be……Tru(e).”
Whether it is nobler in the mind to suffer the slings and arrows of an outrageous plot line, or take arms against…..ah, the hell with it.

The Kardashians with IQ Points? That’s a contradiction if I ever heard one.
