This Week in Milford

Don Ducking Gil?

Filed under: Gil Thorp, huge earrings — nedryerson @ 10:01 am

The Mayor is getting acclimated at his new school. He’s got a crew now and he’s trying to guess why they’re there at Valley Modified. It’s a tradition not to ask.

What is foreground girl doing there? Did she set fire to the cafeteria at Tilden? Did she pull a gun on her trigonometry teacher at New Thayer? Was she slinging disco biscuits at Madison? Don’t ask. She’ll tell you.

Back at Milford High, Don Rooney has been avoiding Gil. Most faculty at Milford avoid Gil because he usually approaches them for favors that involve them doing Gil’s job for him. Don seems to be avoiding the wrath of Gil over the butter knife incident. HE really thinks he’s on Gil’s “list” because of that? What a joke.

Maybe if you read between the lines, Gil is a little steamed that Don Rooney didn’t nip The Mayor’s stupid antics in the bud by shutting him down before the butter knife appeared. Maybe I’m inserting that myself because I think I kid sitting in class and pulling bento boxes and tea services out of his backpack is disruptive and shouldn’t be tolerated. The absurdity of the zero tolerance policy just makes the situation too messy to really assign blame to anyone in particular. I blame the system!

  1. Good point. If Kenny Rogers Rooney had put this kid in his place on day one, his balls wouldn’t have gotten any bigger to keep pullin shit in class. That being said, gil could tell Rooney that he did him a favor by getting rid of a cocky, mouthy, annoying pest.

  2. Just when you think Gil couldn’t be more of a pud… Why don’t you take him out to dinner, Gil? Absolute turds.

  3. On this Memorial Day, I would like to remember my grandfather, Leonard Thomas Hardin, a WWI Army Veteran as a cook and in whose footsteps I wish to follow as a cook myself and my step-father, Gabriel Feltner, Jr., a WWII Navy Veteran who essentially fought in 2 Iwo Jimas and received a VERY generous GI Bill package as a reward for his sacrifices. Without their services, Freedom is up for grabs and America is less of a Nation. God bless them both and ALL Veterans this Memorial Day.
    Lest we forget.

    Funny stuff today, Ned. And in P2
    “Ifffffff you see me coming, better step aside/A lot of men did and a lot of men died…

    You load 16 tons, what do you get?
    A trip to a school we would like to forget
    Say, Gilberto, don’t you call me cuz I can’t go
    I owe my soul to this alternative show”

  4. Gil really has sold out, hasn’t he? If ever there was a perfect test case for appealing a stupid law…
