People listen to radio broadcasts of HS wrestling matches?

Lauren wrestles for Tilden? She doesn’t look very intense in P2. That’s a sickly color green she’s wearing, enough to Ralph on Inma.

Inma already has three. Wouldn’t she be getting her fourth win ?

They do have weight classes in Wrestling, inma looks about 20+ pounds bigger than the other Wrestler. Plus to get 3 points you need to have your opponent in a Near-fall situation. You take them down 2 points, you the turn them to break the plane and expose their back to the mat, you then hold them there for 5 seconds and you get 3. If you put both shoulders to the mat simultaneously you pin them. Guess this is “Rainbow kick” move in wrestling

That’s supposed to be green???

Kudos to the writer for recognizing that a wrestling takedown is worth 3 points now! As much as I like to complain about Gil Thorp these past few years, he actually got something right …

Lauren’s manager will need to distract Inma more sooner than later so she can clobber her with the hidden roll of quarters.

Back to no backgrounds :-(

Mmm… Jackie likey.

P-1: Which leaves the question – Who’s curious Yellow?

P-2: Inma is angered by her opponent’s cultural appropriation of a Man Bun.

P-3: Inma wins this hand of Milford Hold ’em!

Tomorrow, Peanut forfeits her match. Too weak from lack of proper nutrition, to stand up much less wrestle someone. Gil and Mimi too busy pointing fingers at each other and oblivious to her problems, (and Jami’s too for that matter) as usual.

Mr. Clean has a side hustle as referee.

Inma gadda da vida, honey / Don’t you know that we root for you / Inma gadda da vida, baby / Don’t you know that will always be true

And speaking of true, it’s true that today’s Mopped Up Thorp is now online.
