Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rachel Merrill for January 11, 2022

Nothing hits the spot after a hard workout like a nice piping hot cup of coffee.

Good lesson here. Success in life comes easier to those who network (at least occasionally) after business hours.

In all reality , I bet everyone would have come if they knew we were buying coffee . Hey, what’s with we ? Do you have mouse in your pocket ?

They say “y’all” in Milford?

She said, “got off” huh huh, huh huh, huh huh huh huh huh, huh huh huh, huh huh…

Snore. Time to go back to pranit

Make that five if they want to pickup giant hand’s refill request.

Coffee? What is it with this strip and kids favorite drink being coffee?

After Milford clinches second place in the Valley, the kids will spray coffee all over the locker room.

P3- Check out the evil eye and star tattoos in the window. Ho, ho, ho Green Giant?

And now, thanks to Hollis’s “captain-ish leadership”, they will run off a bunch of wins, using slick screens and backdoor cuts that would take weeks to develop, even though it was only one extra hour or so of practice and a free cup of coffee

After school practice, then stay late for more practice, then hang around the diner. So lucky they all have cars, and no classes or homework to mess up the storyline.

I’ve figured out the problem: they’re dehydrated from all the caffeine. Stock up on the Gatorade at game time, ladies!

Hollis must be a Southern lady Y’all

The whole team would have showed up for a bottle of Hoo

P-1: that’s what he said

P-2: after a Politically Incorrect slam on both the South and American Indians, Hollis makes a Groucho Marx quip with both normal and Snarker meanings.

P-3: In typical R&W misunderstanding, Hollis thinks the number of teammates staying late is the important thing. How many of those were starters? I had a coach that always had the 1st team practice offense against the 2nd team. We had one squad that couldn’t defend and another that couldn’t shoot. Talk about perpetual Second place!

What’s with Milford athletes abandoning The Bucket for The Copyright Cafe? I’m waiting until a certain gentleman from Goshen shows up at The Cafe inquiring as to whether their fire insurance premium payments are up to date.

P 1 has much potential for MUT too

P2: “… ok… thanks… Ellie-May…”

Wow, she’s gotta be tough to live with. “Hey everybody, how about we all stay after practice and work extra? Who’s interested?” “I’ll stay!” “Geez, whatever, you don’t need to announce it.”

And speaking of announcing it, I’m announcing that today’s Mopped Up Thorp is online.
