Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rachel Merrill for January 08, 2021

Based on the last two days, is that Vic’s shtick, or does he have trouble with his "M"s? And he’s had at least two EES outbreaks already. He should have that looked at.

And speaking of looking at, you should be looking at today’s Mopped Up Thorp: https://moppedupthorp.wordpress.com/

P3 Are these guys trying to buy some air time with the Vicmeister??? Let’s see if he gets a free milk shake tomorrow, he already has earned his hot dog and large drink.

P2 Doug – we’re all headed to the locker room & showers, see you there. Vic – Um…sure!

P3 Player on the left – Vic, sit down over here if your backside isn’t too sore. Player in the center – Vic, you really got some mad skills, are you sure you that was your first loofah experience? Player on the right – Don’t feel awkward about it, we all felt cheap and used the first time, but you will learn to enjoy it. Welcome to the team!

In all reality , notice how bright and shiny the table everyone is sitting at in P3 , is Mopman moonlighting at the Bucket , inquiring minds want to know . Hey Mopman go home and get your shine box .

“Vic, here’s a list of approved nicknames for each of us and five bucks. Make sure you use them next time you have the mike.”

Oh, by the way, it’s tradition that the PA announcer picks up the check

Time for a Vic-tory lap chowing down on some lamburger with his new bros. “At 5 feet 6 inches, Vic the Schtick, picked to click with his new release Mudlark Shuffle”. "My name is Doug, dig? My game is “A”, hey …"

P1 Hey everybody, second in the Valley is still in play!!!

Are we going to hold hands like in P2?

P1, Vic shows off his giant h-h-h-h-hand.

P2, Nice, you can’t offer the kid a ride, Doug?

P3, Hmm, they’re in a booth but it looks like they also wedged a chair in there somehow.

P1- The Ol’ Ball Coach said you can’t spell Citrus without UT. Well-lllll, you can’t spell victory without VIC.

In what high school do the jocks hang with the AV dweebs? Sorry, not buying it.

Vic must run the scoreboard and keep the scorebook on that laptop. I do like the way they draw turtleneck sweaters. Milford end up .500. Losing every reoad game without Vic to fire up the crowd.

Team officially anoints him the 6th man.

This entire situation is highly unlikely. Milford players would still have all their arms raised in celebration in P2.

P 4: " so, Vic….have you ever been in a high school boys shower room before?…"

Vic, do you like gladiator movies?

They will stick Vic with the check for the food.

The character of Vic in this story line is being played by Paul O’Keefe. (I bet even Ellis has to look that one up.)
