"I thought the marshmallow thing was getting old," he explains, andrecalls announcing, "Next week I'm bringing fish and putting an end to all of this." The most refreshing thing about this story, in the Gipp' s opinion, is thatthe fish-tosser' s 11'1-I i creative spirit continues to thrive. At the Il next game he plans to unleash a brand new m secret weapon in his war on marshmallows, though he won't say what. Bring your rain­ coats, folks. The Gipp will be wearing his.
