The old gang is back for basketball. Parker “Gil Jr.” Bowen, Lini “The Green Wave” Verde, and Cortez Beecher. I guess Parker is still an idiot.

Ah, Milford’s most exciting platonic couple are back at it again, cracking wise like…um some wannabe fashionista high school wise crackers. You know those two are just a scream. I wonder if they’ll make the scene at the Fart Dance?

What kind of code are they talking in? Never mind, I can’t take my eyes off the three legged fan who nobody wants to sit next to.

I’m fired up for the opener and so is this freaktastic levitating forearm. Look it can hardly contain itself. Down boy! Now don’t get some rest and don’t go and do anything completely ridiculous.
Meanwhile Parker Bowen does something completely ridiculous. That has got to be about the dumbest thing one could say under the circumstances. It’s a tattoo, genius. If I were a tattoo artist and someone walked into my shop and asked me that, my answer would be: How about the word TOOL on your forehead?
yeah I go first! The 3-legged fan has a coat next to him/her; I do the same thing at games, its always stuffy in those gyms.

I finally thought of who Lini and Kayla remind me of: Jon Cryer and Molly Ringwald in “Pretty in Pink,” but with basketball instead of ’80s music bringing them together. I guess that means that someday Lini will get to play the socially maladjusted brother to a famous scumbag in a hit sitcom and Kayla will never be seen or heard from again once she passes puberty.

Going from daily close-ups of Lini Verde’s grinning mug to daily close-ups of Ray Parker Gil Jr’s dumbfounded mug is not an improvement. Even worse, it’s not worse either…

I’m just pleased that finally, finally there is a cartoon prepared to deal with the tough issues. And tattoos.

All of this week’s action fades into obscurity at the sight of that mutant forearm in 12/17 panel 1. Looks almost exactly like the alien bursting through John Hurt’s abdomen.
But wait, that’s only my second=most-troubling thought about this tableau. #1? “The opener” is some kind of Suburban Dictionary slang for fisting. And Gil’s all fired up for it! Tumescent forearm and all.
And it looks like everybody but Christian Cortez is up for it. Smile, kids, and relax those sphincters.

The Newton Railers? Soulds like a semi-pro baseball team from Pennsylvania. I don’t recall Milford ever playing Newton in the past.
The women’s games are still attended by only a handfull of people, I see. If the guys knew that some of the crowd wear bikini tops, like the lady behind Kayla in 12/16 p3, maybe attendance would be better!
Parker Bowel-dump has an amazing resemblence to President George W. Bush in 12/17 p2 – and the same stoned look in his eyes!
For $30 bucks, you get the used needles…..

During their 8 years at Milford High, no one has ever seen a tattoo? Now one kid gets one, and by the time they miss the playdowns, they’re all going to look like Allen Iverson? Except for the one with HIV and the two with Hep C. They’re going to look like long distance runners from East Armpit Nubibia.

Is that Steve, the Disco Referee, in 12/16? You can tell he’s a ref by the way he walks. He’s a women’s ref, no time to talk.
Fart Dance Saturday! Hronk!

For $30 bucks you can go in the back room and get a happy ending from my assistant.

Summing up this latest stinkpile of a plot: Tat’s all, folks.
Anybody else fired up for the opener? Anyone? You, guy with the “M” shirt? You, Rubik’s Cube fan? Uhm, anyone?

Milfordian – The Newton Railers? Soulds like a semi-pro baseball team from Pennsylvania. I don’t recall Milford ever playing Newton in the past.
The only other mention of a Newton I can find in the record book comes from the 2009 football season, where the “Newton Railroaders” beat Milford 31-17.
