Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rachel Merrill for June 09, 2021

What, me worry? I’ve heard that somewhere before…

P3: Triple checking to ensure the line item for computers has been removed. He’s nervous because he has to be better than a 15 year old.

Scary proposition in P3. Thank goodness there is no P4. I’m afraid for tomorrow.

P3 BurritoMan is clueless, he is getting a strong buy signal from the misses. She won’t wait too long.

Does anybody have an idea how big the Milford Library budget is likely to be??? If he wins his obsession with the numbers will be like trying to kill an ant with a sledgehammer.

P1.5 never mind that, how are you feeling about being the lead off loofah today?

When this plot started, wasn’t Barely Able freshly unemployed? His obsession with this Library Board position doesn’t pay the bills. Get a haircut, get a real job and be somebody.

Zane’s platform (as if anyone running for library board had a platform) is “Expand community access.” Mr. Burrito promises to slash $150,000 from the budget by closing the library with the fewest number of visitors, selling off the computers, and closing early.

in P2, Zane missed a good chance to quote Mr. T. I pity fool

P1, Gil’s showing his age by repeating himself today.

P2, Gil, “Better you than me.”

P3, If only Mrs. Brito had spoken French Gomez Addams would have come right to bed.

In all reality , Abe thinks and surf some Porn after I lock the numbers in . Good night dear ,don’t stay up too late I’ll be waiting .

“Tell me, Mr. Brito, if we implement your plan to cut back to a single computer and reduce the librarian’s hours by 90%, just what would we do with the money we save?”

“Well, I was thinking that maybe we could use it to buy better desserts at the library board’s lunch meetings.”

“You’re in!!!!”

Once again, Gil shows what’s on his “worry” list when he queries Zane about the idiotic library story

Oh man, Un-Able turns down tonight’s menu of stuffed Burrito as he tries to find a way to slash another $2.43 from the library’s annual budget. And speaking of slashing, you should slash over to Mopped Up Thorp and read today’s episode.

Slash over? That’s not a thing.

P1: Yeah, I think we wrapped up 2nd in the Valley with today’s loss so I won’t be needing you anymore Zany. Time for a quick shower and off to MCC for some golf lessons and some MLF gazing.

How much does Abe think he can get for those 2nd generation computers? Probably replace one Mackintosh, If only budgeted for better wi-fi service in the beginning we wouldn’t even be here

I’m sure that the current pie-huffing board members will appreciate Burrito-boy giving them a budget he spent all night “locking numbers in” the minute he walks through the door.

My daughter teaches at an elementary school, and she sez the that parents who happen to be the biggest pains in the a$$ are the dads who happen to be “between jobs”, sort of like Burrito-boy is

Un-Abel thinks bragging about slashing the library budget will win over the library board. Most likely filled with die hard library lovers.

I’m just looking forward to the return of Ed Asner now since the base/softball teams are out of it.
