July 13, 2009

I’m not sure if I even know Andrew’s motivation here.  But it could come to light before this story ends.

    nice with the “thimrod” thing, if he loses a kid tournament, what makes them think he will win an adult tournament, i mean, college students can eat!
    … Yay first post

    (on last panel) So it’s like with Cuban baseball players, but in reverse?

    ZT107,

    Your comment about the prodigious eating habits of college students kind of reminds me of the line from “The Producers”:

    “You can’t just go out and shoot all the actors! They’re human beings!”
    “Oh, yeah? Did you ever eat with one?”

    I have managed to graduate two of my three kids from college (the third is a junior now). When they came home, it was kind of like a horde of locusts descending on a fully ripened field of grain.

    Now that you officially picked up on “Thimrod” you realize everyone will go back to calling him Thurman :P

  6. Dee says:

    Thurman is now available with more zing.

    The ‘bigs’? Since when are there ‘bigs’ for weiner-eating contests?
    Also, a grown man saying he’ll stuff a nine-year-old full of weiners just doesn’t sound right.
    Also, I’ve always called him Thurman, just so that when the Thimrod thing dies out, I can be smug. (And not just uncool).

    Who started the thimrod thing anyways, … Wasnt started by alex? So why would it die out?

    I think the first thing Andrew needs to do is teach him where a headband goes, right now it looks like a very patriotic hair tie

  10. Nurian says:

    Hehehe, as I said before, Thimrod suits him better :D

  11. I never thought that the words ‘begging to cram you full of wieners’ could ever be so persuasive.

    I’m only nine I don’t know if you know that.So what kid papers are easy enough to fake. lol thats hilarious i can see it now for wenddays you should have him at the major league eating contest with papers written in crayon and pasted on picture of thurman and the name written on it should be Thimrod beckett lol

    “Begging to cram you full of wieners”

    ……THURMAN IS GETTING PICKED UP BY A CHILD MOLESTER!

  14. Chibiman says:

    Wow. And I thought “Swallow that beef you man-cow” was a gay porno line.

    Thimrod was first mentioned in the Karate Bullets arc, by that crazed commander. Didn’t realise it had become a “thing”, because he was always referred to as Thurman until this point…
