Big Top by Rob Harrell for August 16, 2009

Am I first?

It is a bad scene when you are heavier than the diving board. Time for a fruit diet.

Aw, and he looks so sad too.

Cleo I knew what you meant! And I saw the hugs on the second post! ! THANKS MY GOOD FRIEND!!*

I could have been first, but didn’t feel like it!

I hope someone makes scrambled eggs for breakfast for a very special person I know and love!

I am sure that serena has a breakfast all planned out , but I will add hangtown fries and country fried potatos. I also have homemade bread and homemade strawberry freezer jam.

Oh geez Wink, get in the pool and swim, have fun and IGNORE Dusty!!!

Dry - For you, scrambled eggs are available along with my homemade wheat bread. For you Dry, I will bake what ever you wish.

cleo since serena isn’t making breakfast, could you please do some scrambled eggs, just plain with ketchup on the side? I know you will, my friend!

Time for a diet and exercise there, Wink! I’ll add the scrambled eggs with a little cheese (or not if you prefer, Dry. They’ll go well with Cleo’s bread and jam. Picked up some oranges, so will have freshly squeezed orange juice. And remember, Quaby left some Krispy Kremes.

Cleo I know you will! And strawberry jam on the wheat toast? YOU’RE THE BEST!

Thanks Bigg. I knew we missed a few things - good additions!

bigg, cran-raspberry juice sounds really good right now! Thank you. I’ll get some breakfast much later.

Oopsie…

Good Morning Happy Yappers!

I’m with you, Carmy, I’ll have some cran-razz, and some pecan cinamon rolls with scrambled eggs, yum!

Hi I’m here. I just had to leave for a few minutes to take the dog for a walk. Today I made western omelets with red or green peppers, onions, mushrooms and shredded cheese. Or any combination thereof. Also your choice of ham, bacon or sausage. French toast with chokecherry jelly, honey or marmelade. And of course fruit slices and juice.

Good morning Cleo, Carmy, Dry, Dawn, and bigg!

Okay, I am tired, and saying goodnight, esp. to my TRIBE members, some of who are missing,* but you know who you are!*

P & L

Oh Serena, the omelet sounds delicious. Now I have to choose. Mind you, I guess since it’s virtual, I can have both! ;>) Morning Bigg, Carmy, Cleo, Dry, Marg and Serena. And a fine good morning to the rest of the Tribe as you come online. I really hope your computer problems are solved, Shika.

Good morning Tribe. Just dropping by to say hi, and now am going to read the comics. See you later.

I don’t type very fast so there are usually a few comments added between the time I start and the time I hit the post button. So please be patient.

Not a problem, serena. I don’t type very fast either.

((((((((((CARMY)))))))))) ((((((((((DRY))))))))))

Aw, thanks JFri!

☺

Good Morning from the enchanted meadows just east of “The Big Top”. Normally I’m not awake until sunrise, but I had enough sleep, so I figured I’d fly over here to see you. Good thing I’m a mystical being that can glow in dark. There are but few road lights where live.

Good morning. Hope everyone has a good days. The breakfasts all look yummy.

Good Morning to all.

Wow, we have a gigantic spread for breakfast. If I eat all I want to I will look like Wink on that diving board!

Hi Akenta.

Off for a trip on my toonland merry-go-round!

Hi Doc. Feelings are definitely mutual on this end!

Good Morning all.

Serena - I can not resist chokecherry syrup. So I will have the french toast and some of doctortoon’s coffee.

TOOT-TOOT-TOOT

(takes his first sip off of the pipeline valve)

TOOT-TOOT-TOOT

Good morning to the morning group, Akenta, Terry, Doc, Cleo!

((((((((((((((JFRI))))))))))))))))

back at ya!

Whether you were there or not, can you believe today is the 40th Anniversary of Woodstock?

Hate to say it guys, but there’s a s h @@ load of us under this Big Top that are getting old!!

Good old Max Yasgur!

JFri, who is Max Yasgur?

All those toons mentioned yesterday & I don’t believe anyone said The Roadrunner!

:-(

And what about Beanie & Cecil, a Bob Clampett cartoooooooon?

Doc I answered you at C & H!

The diving board can’t bear the load.

Doc, don’t know if you follow “Two Lumps” nice strip about two cats, but thought you might look at their latest post - warning:bitter sweet with touch of humor.

http://www.twolumps.net/

To all you nuclear coffee drinkers, do you drink it straight or add milk/cream/sugar?

Been curious what kind of reactions adding those might cause.

Shot my mouth off at OB!

Dry - Age is a state of mind … or somedays a state of body.

Akenta with doc’s coffee you’re already bouncing off the walls, you don’t want to add a sugar rush yet!

Do you know if you accidentally hit escape while typing in the comment section, you totally erase your post and have to start over?

JFri you won’t here so without my fierce competitor, I didn’t think of it! :-P

Dry - Max Yasgur owned the farm where woodstock was staged.

Doc and JFri, commented back at C & H

Cleo True, true, but even so, wouldn’t you like to be a young cleo instead of a middle aged cleo? LOL

Sorry about that, my mother called and at 78yrs young, likes to yak a lot. No comments about where I get it from, either!

I’m baaaaaaaaaack!

Tomahawk missile acquiring target. Target acquired (picture of docT shows up on screen). FIRE!

Duck THAT, mister!!

Hi Dry, Carmy, Cleo, Doc

Doc, looks like you’re in trouble come the witching hour!! LOL

Hi Serena, JFri, and anyone else I might have missed!

HI Mopar—

The “rant” was justified yet reserved! I took it well, but that’s my opinion and I’m allowed my opinion…………….Ooops, wrong site. LOL I’m glad *we* don’t do that here!

I never expected that on Overboard!

Doc You’re right the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree, but I think I got too many bruises from the fall!

Morning Tribe!

Mmmmm……chokecherry jelly - and the fun part is it makes your eggs turn green :()¦

Doc–I don’t have to worry about burning my lips on the pipeline. I’ve installed a spicket/valve. You just stand underneath the valve and turn it on. Next on the project list is to make it like the flexible shower wand, just in case I am crawling through the yard from the previous night’s party and can’t stand up.

Good Morning/Afternoon DF.

BBL lunch time, and today it is just lunch, homemade chili and a tomato salad.

JFri don’t forget, the witching hour!!! BWWAAAAHHHH! Doc!

Chili, now I’m hungry!!! With these steroids, I don’t need to be eating all the time!!! Thanks Dry!

Dud, docT? That isn’t drizzle you’re feeling! Look abouit 20’ up the silo where the seam on the unobtainium is leaking!

Added my 2 cents worth at Overboard as well.

Sounds like it might be interesting at Overboard by the time I get there (only on the C’s) - maybe I’ll take a sneak peek.

Unobtainium? XD

BTW—I apologize for not returning last night when I said I would. I thought I’d lay my head down for a few minutes after my RL issues and next thing I knew it was 3 in the morning and my laptop went into standby mode. I went to refresh and next thing I knew it was 6 in the morning. I gues I was tired!!!! LOL

Even Red and Rover!!! What is it with these people posting today?

And Adam@Home!!

Self repairing? That’s good cause I couldn’t find any. XD

How can someone say they don’t like humor in a “comic strip”. Is ther not something wrong with that sentence? Or am I missing something?!

Unfotuntely, docT, they have yet to perfect unobtainium welding sticks!

RUT ROH!!

BTW, it’s hard doing this from a VERY remote location! Yes, I am once again broadcasting from the boonies on the Blackberry!

Terry wondered where you disappeared to. Now we know! Uh huh? Yea, sure you were tired ;>) You and Mitch will be interested in what we’re doing today - riding into Victoria for an antique car show. Always fascinating! Cars here just do not rust away. Last week we saw a Stanley Steamer in perfect condition.

Good morning Tribe. Imagine waking up, turning on the computer and reading the comments (like I do) to find out from some friends that there is a comic that is reflecting your abilities and imagination.

My friends over at Pibgorn told me to check out Non Sequitur, so I did and……… that is so like me! it gave me a laugh.

Hi Dawn–I haven’t conversed with you in a while. How are you? I’m sorry, but where is Victoria? Oh and from yesterday, I’ll be nice and agree, from what I’ve seen on this site, yes you’re stubborn. And me being who I am I would know!!! LOL

And yes, I do like antique car shows to the max!

I know!!! British Columbia?????

Yep, on Vancouver Island. Our weather is similar to Cleo’s - about a week of winter, rain in November and great weather the rest of the time. Only thing missing is my family.

Mr. Harrel, Why did you steal a pic of me at the pool and put it on the internet for all to see?

Dawn What do mean the family is missing if I may ask?

Doc–Mississippi squirrels can be fun to watch though! LOL

Hey Terry did you know that where I live, here in San Diego, they have a car show every Wednesday during summer, and all I have to do is walk up the street to see it, because it is right near my house.

Doc–I’m done with the comics and I never even finished reading them. I’ll wait until tomorrow when the “Sunday Driver’s” are not commenting! I have a hard time ignoring. I can do it on 1 strip site, but two strip sites is asking too much of this big mouth!!! LOL

Terry, We retired out here and the family is back in Calgary. We go back often and they come out here, but after living there all my life, this is a change. The life style is very laid back here - a very welcome change.

Dawn—I know what you mean. I’ve lived in laid back areas(where everyone knows when you flush your toilet-LOL) before. I’m here for my mother(78), but eventually I’m off to a laid back area again for the “golden years”.

Doc—I don’t know my friend! I saw the same ones and bc13 even surprised me.

hi tribe: just got on, and have read the posts about OB though i have yet to visit there. i hope “the guy with the aaaaaas” is not one of my fellow members of the A-Team. i’d be disappointed if it was, but i’ll check for myself in a bit. Serenasakitty: Thanks for breakfast. I’ll have the omelet with everything (kinda like Dennis the Menace - I’ll have everything on my hot dog, including a hamburger), with bacon and sausage, and i’ll put a pot of Early Grey tea on the table after a pour myself a cup.

Good choice, Terry. Nice chatting with you. Well, I’m off for RL time. Cy’all l8tr

Every town around me has a car show on a different day of the week. You only have to visit one to see the all the cars. Some go to each show with their car all five days!

Good to see you, Dawn.

Hi there yyyguy.

catching up from yesterday’s cartoon/kid shows posts. i need to thank Quaby for reminding me about Red Skelton (a real favourite in my family). i also need to remind shika of Mr Dressup (the late Ernie Coombs, who briefly worked with Fred Rogers before coming up to Canada and becoming a beloved Kid Show Icon), and Chez Helene (who tried to teach anglo kids a bit about our French neighbours in their own language). I, too, remember the Friendly Giant (with his “rocking chair for those who like to rock, and a big arm chair for two more to curl up in”). All these gentle, slowly paced shows were, i think, far better for kids than what passes for kids programming these days.

@DocT: i’m glad i tried some of your nuclear coffee, yesterday. the super power i was granted must have had something to do with making me able to golf wrong handed. I won a bottle of Crown Royal at my friends stag by winning the putting contest using a right handed putter. Since I’m a lefty, it was an additional handicap (on top of the beer consumption). Just figured you might be curious (and wanted to say thanks for the taste.)

time to check out the other strips. ciao.

doc I woke up to quite a bit of attention today, and all because of the Non Sequitur comic. I didn’t ask for it, it just happened.

Doc or yyyguy–Where does the A-Team hang?

Hi all. Tink you are a bear, no diet will make that not happen.

Good Morning/Afternoon Johnny

Wait a second! Hold everything! There are two Tink’s here.

The bear on the swimming pool diving board and that little fairy from the Enchanted Meadows.

I shall say no more on this subject, and will just accept it.

Good Night Doc—Cya!

doctortoon- Once again I show up and you disappear. This is becoming a habit.

I step away to do a little painting and come back to lots of comments. You guys are some

Yappy Nuts!!!

Might be Wink, I am not too good with names… Afternoon here, Doc and Terry, have been busy moving the past couple of days. Probably won’t be around much today either. Doc, I can fully understand, I am the only seasonal at the factory who hasn’t requested any days off, and might be the only one who’ll work into September. I too am fond of money, LOL

I think I learned from you and the others when I started Cleo!

It is Wink, Johnny.

And I knew you were located in MI, but thought maybe you were out of town after I saw Doc’s greeting. That’s why I gave it the either/or.

Hey guys! as I was skimming the comics and comments I came across a comment over at Rabbits Against Magic. It wasn’t aimed at me, but I found it disturbing and very troll-like none the less. I had always promised myself not to flag anybody but right now i’m very tempted to do so because it is like a hate crime.

Lonewolf- We teach by example. LOL

That’s the best way, cleo & I’ve loved every minute of it. Thank you, Thank you Very Much. (just couldn’t resist that one)

I can’t bring myself to do it! Even though I hate the comment, it is not in my nature to flag.

You all must think I’m weak! But I just can’t break my promise.

Good Morning Tribe. I hope your day is going better than mine…though it wouldn’t take much to be better.

I managed to hit the concrete flower pot at church swinging a bit too wide to turn—and it was just right because moving 5-10 mph I have managed to break my axle, suspension or both. Sigh….our good car and I broke it. It’s sitting out in the church’s parking lot waiting for the tow truck. AT least I don’t have to worry about getting it towed this very moment, it’s fine where it’s at and if a car thief can drive it off more power to him. I have my insurance claim #, my dealership is on the insurance preferred shops list and I happen to have vacation next week so that saves car rental charges. Of course I still have the high deductible because I did the wacking at a stationary object but it’s better than the entire enchalada. We still have the tank (‘98 Saturn wagon) which is running well. IT is old enough for the Clunker’s program…..but the milage is still about 25mph..better than the newer Focus!! IT’s a good little car.

Meanwhile, back to comments….I went to Overboard and found the huge posting, but didn’t seem to find the other items which were really bugging the Tribe. Guess they were pulled. By the time I get to them they ususaly have been pulled.

(((((((((TRIBE)))))))))

Thanks for clearing up the name of the bear Terry.

Sorry about the mix up Tink1300.

Quaby–Yes, they pulled the comment at overboard. Not even worth rehashing!

Quaby–How are you this fine Sunday afternoon. It’s raining here in the Chicago suburbs but sitting on the porch with my laptop listening to and smelling the rain is nice!

Quaby - Sorry about the start of your day. Accidents happen, but it still doesn’t make you feel any better.

Quaby—The car can be fixed. It is only a minor setback. You wouldn’t think it should/could happen where it did though! I have a high deductible also, so I know that digs a little.

BC13 has been around a while, the other 2 I haven’t seen before. Must be the heat making people tetchy. Ignore and flag if necessary is my preference. Too bad there’s no way to mute certain posters. It wouldn’t hide their comments for everyone, but only for the person muting them.

Ice cream and cookies for dessert if you’ve eaten all your lunch.

I have broken my promise and flagged that nasty comment that was bothering me to much.

Hi Saucy–I know I’ve seen bc13 before and never saw anything wrong. You’re right, maybe the heat! lol

sadly (at least from my perspective), bc13 *is* a member of the A-team. i left him a gentle reminder of something he said earlier, and i hope he holds true to his vow to stay away from strips he no longer likes. time for me to interact with real life, now (laundry waits for no man!), so i’ll have to leave real soon. just have time for the crossword puzzles, though i’ll keep this tab open and peek in again before i leave for good.

In case I miss ya, see you later yyyguy.

*Terry, Cleo, * thanks for the kind words.

I’m already feeling somewhat better, though I haven’t checked ye old credit cards for available room. $100 here, $50 there, it helps. If Michael was employed it would have been an “Oh SH–, bleep bleep bleep moment, but right now the $500 hurts badly. Most of our food budget $$ for the week comes from my plasma donations.

Oh well, excretement occurs, oscillating blades turn, and for every door closed one opens. Mebbe I should check out my Powerball numbers

There has been to much bad stuff happening to too many good Tribe members.

Seems that way doesn’t it cleo?

(((Quaby)))

it sure does. definitely going now. see you terry, cleo, and ((Quaby))

got some kind of funky error message when i tried to post. oh well. it either worked or it didn’t. gone.

Hi again. Saucy1121 did you say you had ice cream? And cookies? I ate all of my lunch [even the veggies] so may I have a LARGE serving of ice cream. Don’t pay any attention to anyone who tells you not to let me near it with a spoon. I promise to leave a little bit for the others. I would love some ice cream with chokecherry syrup.

But I can resist ice cream.

I can.

Really.

Sure I can.

Hi Serena.

Help yourself Serena. We need to beat the heat somehow. So sorry to hear about your oops Quaby. If it isn’t one thing, it’s three (as my grandmother used to say).

For us up in the Pacific NW, you can tell fall is in the air. The evening s are cooler and the sun has really shifted. We live in the foothills and have many fir trees, so it is easy to tell that the sun is now lower in the sky.

We can sure tell our SHORT summer is winding down. During the summer I drive to work at night and home in the morning and it is light. But that only seems to happen for such a short time and the it is back to driving both ways in the dark.

I will be out for a few hours. It’s Wolfangil’s mother’s B-Day today and we’re going for cake and ice cream. BBL

Lonewolf - Enjoy yourself and since I have changed my eating habits, have a virtual piece of cake for me.

Hi, Tribe… Just pandering thru again. I saw several sites had a little activity today. It’s not my place to comment but I think that to preserve what we have at this site, we must refrain from engaging unfriendlies at other sites. No acknowledgements or reference to behavior. We know the drill. Flag only. We are NOT the Internet Police.

I may have found my outlet in a blog. It is becoming apparent that the new generation of (this does not specifically indicate young) commenter on Comics.com and Gocomic.com, is using…

If I don’t have that much to say, I take a page out of Dry’s book (whether she realizes it or not). I type the comment then hit ESCape. I also am not the conscience of The Tribe and not trying to be. Just a little food for thought. I’ll shut up now and go stand in a corner.

Where’s the corner in this tent?

serena - It’s a drag when you have to spend all the hours of sunlight working. Hopefully you have windows at work. I could not take working in a windowless environment and both arriving and departing in the dark. The closest I came was working in a photo lab that was in the mall. The saving grace is that just a few steps from our store was a giant skylight, so for lunch I could go outside the store and at least have natural light.

Rad - I agree. I have pretty much decided that I can not change someone’s opinion and save myself the effort of even trying.

BRAVO RAD!!!!

Dry - How you doing lady?

Rad there are a lot of us out there like you. Don’t become cynical!

Hey yourself, Cleo!

Oh Rad there is no corner! If you want to hide, go under that big picnic table, the one JFr fell asleep (snerk) under at Carmy’s party!

Under the table is fine so long that Winky isn’t On the table (SNERK!)

Rad* He’s still swimming so don’t worry!!!

JFri No one mentioned the Roadrunner because he’s here a lot anyways. Why state the obvious?

I remember Beannie and Cecil! I liked them, but forgot about them.

:-(*

Wow! you all made it to page four while I was doing what I do best - writing a story that I believe is beautiful. Pibgorn page six if you want to read it.

Speaking of old tv shows, not a cartoon though,

Ernie Kovacs! And the Nairobi Trio! There is one particular tribe member, in particular that I KNOW remembers that!

Shika I remember Beany and Cecil!

Hey, Beany Boy…

I’m on page two and working my way up.

GOOD AFTERNOON!

I’m here, have no fear My backup is kaput But I’ll tell you what:

I DON’T CARE!

((((((((((QUABY))))))))))))

Dry Are you feeling better today? I’m sorry you had a difficult day yesterday. Me too.

I even chewed out the checkout girl, and her supervisor over what I thought was a stupid policy. That IS NOT LIKE ME AT ALL. I felt lousy afterwards, but I was so hot and tired, with the condition I mentioned the other day and then to come home to a computer that had control of my life….

Well, I understand why you ragged on me, if you had a day anything like that remotely.

I got home today at 3:30p.m. and have been cleaning up files and trying to do a back up- I had to UNPLUG the dar*n thing this morning. I turned it off last night and it was STILL logging off when I woke up.

I still can’t complete a back up, and I can’t try any more. :-(

Okay, SHIKA’S back!!!

:-D

Well, Shika’s back, and everyone has left. That’s what I get for talking so much while on the wrong page.

Sorry of my life!

:-/

BBL ♥☺♥

Thanks for the huge hug, Shika* I was cleaning the top of my refrigerator and felt the vibes., it made the stool vibrate.

Yeah, I’m cleaning now. Blech. I just want to crawl into bed and ignore the world, but the pesticide company is coming tomorrow and I have to have the apartment ready. Last time they claimed I had garbage (lie) and ‘signs of insect activity’,,,Comeon, this is cockroach country. If they’re not out telling you what they want for supper then they’re under control. But I know what bugged them, the boxes of stuff in the dining area. Yeah, it was pretty bad. But I’ve put up/got rid of 75% of it and working on the rest. I can’t do it all at one time. Sigh. I am really beginning to appreciate a Kindle…..

I am here. We have company, but I try to get back whenever I can. I too really liked Beanie and Cecil.

Dry, did I send you that Nairobi Trio video? It’s one of my favorites.

The aaaaaaaaaaaaa troll just joined GoComics today. How wonderful for all of us. Oh yes, Ash is back, making comments that seek to irritate people so that they’ll respond to her. SIGH

Quaby sorry for your troubles with your car.

(((((SHIKA))))) There, I hope that helped.

Thanks Margueritem, it could have been worse but it’s bad enough. Oh well.

I do the kitchen in bursts, conserving energy. If I keep going and going I totally poop out—which is not good. If I do it in 10-15 minute bursts I get more done by the end of the day.

NO MARG, YOU DID NOT! GET ON THE STICK WOMAN!!! roflmao!!

Cleo, still here? The bike riding is getting more challenging since the school buses started running again.

Dry I’ll remedy that immediately, if not sooner!

Quabydo you store your food stuff in plastic containers with tight sealing lids?

Shika I was kidding you know!

If that dang JFri doesn’t soon git here, I’ll have to start the show by myself!! DOC, ARE YOU LISTENING???

Forgive me for not being so chatty today! I want to just relax and take it easy today. So I’ll leave all the yappy stuff to you guys today.

Dry yes, I do. I was sick the week before and it wasn’t up to total snuff, but the stupid form letter made it sound like I was living in filth, etc, etc. I watch How Clean is Your House? on BBC America, and believe me, I can’t even come close to those places. And it’s never nice to be reminded that part of the lease agreement is keeping the place clean. I agree about that, but I ain’t Martha Stewart, and I don’t sit around all day eating bon bons. I work for a living. Sigh They’re suddenly switching pest control people in September…..I get the feeling some of the other residents got a love letter, too, and were able to prove it was bogus. With the three tubs and all the boxes of stuff in the dining room, I knew it was better to call and say ‘I got it and I’m working on it’.

Marg - I just picked up my bike yesterday. I basically replaced just about everything but the frame and wheels to a tune of $276. Yikes, but it beats car repairs and is cheaper than a gym.

Cleo, amen. Always be good to your bike.

A new gym has opened very close to the house, but I haven’t gotten over there yet to check prices.

Marg - Is it to hot for kayaking?

Quaby I’ve done what you are doing today. It’s no fun. One year, I had to clean out my cupboards three times in three months for them. I felt like crying. It’s an older building, that’s all.

Thanks for the hug marg I needed it. I just made the rounds of Toonville. That’s a weird group of people out today.

What’s gotten into everybody?

Doc I left a reply to your question on Little Dog Lost.

I found it hard to comment on many of the strips today, but managed to make my mark anyways.

Hi cleo I’m glad you can post once in a while. How’s the weather today?

Dry I knew you weren’t really ragging on me, but I suspect you had a rough day nonetheless, or was that a joke? I don’t think so.

:-)

TOOT!

DRY! Did you do that? Tsk. Tsk.

Leave doc alone! ROFLOL!

What? Did I do it again? I’m talking to myself here.

BBL

Shika - It is sunny and fall like. A high of 70 degrees or so, so about 22 celsius, but a cool breeze. It is supposed to get warm again this week. At this time of year though, you wonder if the warm spell is the last of the season. We have nice weather in September, but you can tell it isn’t summer. But we are heading to Washington DC and Virginia for just under three weeks and it stays warmer later there.

(((((Quaby))))), I know that feeling too well! Sorry for your bad luck!

(((((Saucy))))) Can I have some ice cream, too? (if Serena left any???)

JFri Ready to do the nasty deed to doc?

JFri -Welcome sir. Care for a cocktail with that ice cream?

DRY!!! I’M HERE!! PANT PANT PANT I had to paddle my kayak 6 miles across the lake then get packed up & head home but I’m HERE!!!

Paddling a kayak with one hand holding an ice cream bowl is an amazing feat.

been a busy day here. I’ve missed some of the comments, but seen enough to leave a big deposit in the bank.

Cleo, JFri is our man of steel! Are you surprised? I’m not!!! ROFLMAO

Hi Akenta About time you show up!

JFri is our man of steel. Do you think he will mind if I call him Rusty?

doctortoon - Is it smootchy time tonight?

Doc do you think we’re going to TELL YOU when we are going to attack?!! Get real, man!!!!

Cleo I don’t think steel RUSTS!!!

And it’s ALWAYS SMOOCHY time for doc!!

(Dry, tell him it’s high chromium content stainless steel!!)

((((((((((DRY))))))))))

I know you needed that!

My last two comments have not appeared.

Anyways steel does rust and if :Jfri wants to be Mr. Chromedome, that is okay with me. LOL

Cleo STOP picking on JFri! Whatever the heck double chromiun content stainless* steel is, he must know what he’s talking about!!! ROFLMAO!!

Doc you’re hopeless!! UTTERLY and COMPLETELY HOPELESS!!!!

(((((((((((((((((((((JFRI))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))

My hug was so BIG it went off the page!!! LOL!

Doc, You won’t know when and you WON’T know where, but JFri and I will get you with our DEATH RAYS and MISSLES**!! BE AFRAID, BE VERY AFRAID!!!!!!!

CLEO if your last 2 posts didn’t appear, they must not have been very IMPORTANT!!!! (SNERK)

Stainless steel comes in different calibres. I understand that Jfri is made of very high calibre stainless steel.

We used to sell very expensive cutlery made from him. LOL!

(((JFri)))

JFri & Dry - I sense a little hanky panky goin’ on. After all, Dry when have you ever stood up for JFri. (snerk)

And they say I’m not the sharpest knife in the drawer! Thanks, Shika & Dry!!!!!

If JFri is stainless it won’t matter if he spills his cocktail.

Good evening gang! Just got back in from a road trip across the state. Just in time for bedtime, I will ignore it briefly, but I should probably get some stuff taken care of. Now… must… get.. up… sigh FAIL

Just like Wilkinson Sword JFri!

Or Sheffield!

I log on to find poor doc caught in trouble again. I don’t know why, and don’t care either since it is none of my business.

DOC! THAT’S ANOTHER FINE MESS YOU’VE GOTTEN YOUR SELF INTO.

Shika, what is your avatar a picture of?

cleo Are you still offering cocktails? Could I have an old fashioned made with Royal Crown? I can fly it down to you if you don’t stock it.

I can’t make Old Fashioneds myself though.

Wildcheetah IF THAT WAS YOU, he sent you to do a man’s job??!! LOL Remember Doc you won’t know where and you won’t know when, Right JFri?

HI johnny!

My avatar is a photo of Mua levitating!

:-D

Hi JFri. I hope you noticed that I did leave some ice cream. A little bit.

Cleo I stand up for JFri all the time!! Well, a lot anyway, well, sometimes, well, once in a while! Well …

Shika - For you my dear it will be a pleasure. One old-fashioned coming up.

Well Tribe, I’m gonna sign out for the evening. I still have some stuff to do in the kitchen, but it’ll be ready and, as for the rest of it, I have vacation this week, I intend on working on it.

See you sometime tomorrow.

Hi johnny*

Shikamoo pardon the interruption on my part but is your avatar a submarine?

johnny It’s a photo of a Mua lookalike on a glass coffee table. I just adjustest the tint on it to make it more visible.

Like it?

Thanks cleo! (sip) ah, just the way I like it.

Levitating you say… you’ve given me a lot to think about. lol Welp, I’m off to bed, 5am comes pretty early in these parts. Good night all, and Peace & Love!

JNJ2tinydog- See my posts to johnny. Take your pick. It is not a submarine! LOL

CLEO, MY DEAR DEAR FRIEND, I hate the Family Guy! Lose that avatar, please, PRETTY PLEASE!!

:-D

I thought it was a submarine too, JNJ2. Or a UFO. It is very nice, an optical illusion in more than one way. Hi Dry. And now I’m off to bed.

Oh now I see it I recognize the cat’s head, silly me for thinking it was a submarine.

It was kind of like an optical illusion, Shikamoo.

The photo is taken from the underside of the table, for those who are still straining their brains over this one. LOL I can see the white couch behind in the original, before I tinted it blue.

I just wanted something different, and we were talking about circus cats- a flying cat sort of fits the description, doesn’t it?

I’m baaaaack from the B-Day get together.

Cleo–I’m not big on sweets, so I don’t eat the cake much. I just had some ‘nilla i-cream!

Good Night Johnny & Quaby–Sorry I missed you guys!

Doc—I wasn’t sure if I should say good night to you or not. I don’t want to be caught by a stray shot! LOL Oh what the Hey, Have fun!!!

LOL johnny!

5:00a.m. comes pretty early in most parts of the world1 What the heck did that mean? hee-hee!

Hi Serena, Shika, Dry, & *Jfri.

(((DRY)))

BTW Good night Quaby, if I didn’t say it already.

Dry I’ve seen you defend JFri LOTS of times! Like, ah, er well, there was the time- no, no, that was someone else.

And then when he- nope. You scuttled him pretty quick that night.

Alright! What’s going on? LOL

Shikamoo you cat must be pretty affectionate. In the Spanish language Mua is the sound of a kiss.

Shika I hope you can decipher [my big word for the day] what’s going on with everyone here.I got lost somewhere along the way.

JNJ2- Mua means “to lift up” in swahilli, but I like what you say it means too. He is very affectionate.

He not only kisses, he hugs! Who needs men? LOL

Okay, forget I said that, I still prefer human hugs, but don’t tell that to Mua, okay?

Hi Terry! I missed something Who’s birthday was it today? Your’s, or wolfangil’s?

Hi Serena! It depends on where you got lost? lol

What are you wondering about?

That’s a relief, I thought that I might have embarrassed you, which was not my attention.

I think there is a war brewing between Dry and JFri and Doc.

There’s talk of weapons of mass destruction, lol

But now they’ve disappeared. JFri and Dry and Doc, I mean.

Along with everyone else!

Shika–It is Wofangil’s mother’s B-Day. If it was her’s or mine, it would have been party central here and all would have been invited!!!

tinydog (You don’t mind that I’m trying to settle on a short version of your name, do you?)

You didn’t embarrass me. It takes a lot to do that. LOL!

never vanished just eating steak.

Is that your dog in your avatar? He/she is cute!

If I can call you Shika then you can call me tinydog.

I should have figured that out Terry!

It’s good to see you. How do you feel tonight, Terry?

tinydog MMMM. Steak! Can I have some? LOL

Never mention food you aren’t willing to share here. After all, it’s virtual food, so you can’t go wrong.

yes that is my dog, of course she is full grown now. Oh why did I name her Tiny?

Yes, everyone calls me Shika. If they call me Shikamoo, I figure I’m in trouble, LOL

Like your mom uses your full name when you break something:

Henry Fredrick McGillicutty! You get back here right now, or I’ll whallop you.

Or Henrietta Freida McGillicutty, in my case! hee-hee!

Help yourself there is plenty.

Is she a border collie? How big is she?

Terry Is you MIL visiting with you now?

Tell her I say Happy Birthday if she is.

She is a border collie / Australian Sheppard mix medium height for a 40 pound dog.

tinydog, Are you eating late, or are you on the west coast, like some others here?

It’s 11:00p.m. here, almost time for me to go to bed.

Shika Today was a good day(health wise), but tonight I am feeling the effects.

How about you, Sweet Thang!!!

That’s a nice mix, tinydog But she’s not tiny, as you say.

Mua is a big white cat, Turkish is the nearest I can find, they are white. He’s almost 20 lbs, and quite long for a cat. He fills a doorway when he lies in it.

Shika, No need to fear,Doc, JFri and I are the BEST OF FRIENDS!!

West coast near the Oregon border right now, but also have a house in Los Angeles.

Terry I had an okay day. Yesterday was worse (see last night).

I’m have effects from various medications myself, so I can sympathize. But life is good, over all!

Hi Dry! I know you are, LOL! But you must admit that WMD fit some of the arsenal that you guys employ! LOL

Yes, Serena, I noticed you left me one tablespoon of ice cream!! Dry, you stood up for me, uhhhhhhhhhh. What *is* going on?

All in fun, Shika, all in fun! We wouldn’t hurt each other for the world! We are part oF THE TRIBE!

During the summer time I go to Northern California, Tiny likes it there because she can run and play. I also like it there because it is beautiful and because I like to fish and hunt. Plus it is where I was born.

tinydog, pardon my ignorance, but were is Oregon, relative to say oh, anywhere? LOl

I’m Canadian, and can’t picture half the States, even though we had to learn them in elementary school.

It sounds wonderful, Tinydog. I’ll bet Tiny loves it too.

That’s what I love about the Tribe, Dry1 We can kibbitz and no one gets hurt.

But where did Doc go?

An idle thought: IF SOMEONE WITH MULTIPLE PERSONALITIES THREATENS TO KILL HIMSELF, IS IT CONSIDERED A HOSTAGE SITUATION?

Shika–We went over to her house. My husky, Doc, scares her with his blue eyes and his size. She’s not my MIL and I honestly think it works better that way!!! LOL

About you and yesterday

((((((((((SHIKA))))))))))

MARG, ROFLMAO!!!!!!!!

And it’s Not Doc, like DocT, it”s short for “Doc Holliday”.

De Debbil made me do it….

Oregon is the state,

You see let me make myself a little bit more clearer, Have you ever heard of Mt. Shasta, it is in Northern California, not far from the border to go into Oregon.

Thanks Terry I’ll get over it. But my computer may not. :-(

marg? what are you saying? Is there something we should be prepared for? LOL

JFri I ALWAYS STICK UP FOR YOU, MY BEST BUD!!!

So you see I have West Coast time.

Terry I love it that your husky’s name is Doc. How did you come up with the name?

I love Husky’s BTW. they are gorgeous.

Let me guess ! doc went to work, while we got caught up in the yapping. (Lucky guy).

Hi Marg

I mentioned that multi personality thing on another channel today. It might be considered a double suicide.

tinydog Like cleo and doc and I think JFri too.

anyone know who aaaaaaaaa is?

Terry I think I remember you mentioning it once, now that you mention it (again, LOL) That’s super.

marg If it’s someone named Cybil, it may be a mass murder!

Yep! doc drowned us with his nuclear coffee and quickly flew below the radar to avoid detection.

I’m going to say Goo Night.

My eyes are falling shut.

I hate to love and leave you guys, but try not to miss me too much!

:-D

PEACE AND LOVE!

Shika, you are correct!

Make that Good Night.

Jdog, which end of Oregon do you live by? California side?

So they were born in Northern California too! I thought that they were Canadians (honestly I did).

TerryLonewolf, I’d say it was more of a Sybil thing, like Shika said.

Shika, Guten Nacht!

Guess I should go too. These dishes aren’t going to clean themselves you know.

Good Night Sweet Thang!!!

(((((SHIKA)))))

Marg–What’s Sybil?

Good Night Tiny

Guten Nacht Marg

Bye Tinydog

Night Terry

((((((((((TERRY)))))))))) (((((((((((DRY)))))))))))))) (((((((((((((JFri)))))))))))))

(((((((((((((THE REST OF THE TRIBE))))))))))))

See you tomorrow.

((((((((((Shika))))))))))

(Will she pull a Shika?)

Terry, it’s a book about a woman with multiple personalities. It was made into a movie starring Sally Fields.

Hi, marg!!!

Are you trying to ignore me?

Dry, I haven’t ignored you! (Like that would be easy to do!)

Dry, where did your post go??

HI JFri, Marg, Terry and Dry (?)!

Hi Carmy. How are you feeling today?

(((Carmy)))

((((((((((Carmy))))))))))!!!

Marg—I know of the movie. I wasn’t sure if you were referring to that or not.

JFri—I know what you mean about not being able to ignore Dry. LOL

Hi Terry. I took a really long nap and I’m still tired. It was really hot here today. I think the heat drains my energy. How are you doing? (((((Terry)))))

JFRI?!? You’re here?

Hi, Carmy!

(((((JFri!)))))

Shower time, people were starting to talk. BBL.

Dry! We’re invisible!

Carmy

Today was good, but feeling the effects tonight. Same thing, I seem to tire easily some days.

Dry - Only for you would I search out a new avatar. I am on the prowl as I speak.

Are you outta here, Marg?

(((((Hi Marg!)))))

marg, I’m not supposed to be here?

DRY!!!

CLEO, THANK YOU!! GOD LOVE YA!

JFri you have sharp eyes!!! LOL

((((((((((((((((((((((((((((CARMY)))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))

OFF THE PAGE AGAIN!! LOVE YOU GUYS!!! SEE HOW IT SHOWS?

MARG You don’t SMELL!!! COME BACK!!!!

Well, Terry, I’m being ignored by Dry! She even deleted her post to me!

:-(

Okay, tribe. I FINALLY get my comic rounds made, and read the first 6 pages, go to read page 7, and my filter pops up! Guess I’ll have to do the 1, 2, 3.. until it gets to page 8.

(((((((DRY)))))))

JFri

Everyone is acting vewy strange tonight. Oh, that’s right, that’s normal for Dry!! LOL

DRY

;-P

CARMY ROFLMAO!!!! :-D

Anybody miss me?

Right here, Dry!!!!

Is the counting done?

JFRI Bookers, where’d I miss the part about drinks being served? YOU WHO, CLEO? ME TOO!!

Hi RRAmom

I didn’t even have to read your first post to know what problem you were having! LOL

I’m going back to page 7 to see what I missed. BRB

CLEO, MUCH BETTER!!! THANK YOU, DEAR!!!!

I’ve got Rum, Jack Daniels and mixers if needed. Let me know what you prefer.

Cleo, is the the “Operation” dude? Dry, now I got the ROFLMAO. Who’s pouring? I don’t even drink, but I think I need one.

Terry as soon as RRAMom starts counting down, you know her filter is working way overtime!!! she needs to change her programs around.

So, Lonewolf - have you figured out what was said that upset my filter? If so, maybe we can figure out another way to state it.

cleo announced serving drinks clear back when I was being steel! I need a drink after this weekend! I’ll bet you do, too!

Dry - I can’t change my filter. It is one that the filter company has to do the unblocking. With 2 geeks in the family, they would figure out how to circumvent any other type. Sorry!

RRAmom, your filter is psycho. If what we post doesn’t trigger the gocomics nannybot, I can’t see why your filter has a problem.

Cleo START SERVING MY MAN!! EVEN CARMY IS READY!!!

carmy - Since I can’t see what it blocks, I have no idea exactly why it finds something offensive.

Terry, what type of Jack Daniels do you have?

Pour me a Shirley Temple!

RL has been extremely busy lately! I’ve made two trips to CO, plus worked a couple of days at my husband’s plant in between. (Doing a little painting - hope the boss will at least give me a gift certificate for a steak dinner for all my hard work. If nothing else, I guess my husband got some “brownie points” for my labors.) I just got all my comics read, but didn’t take the time to read any comments on gocomics that weren’t today’s. Whew! I’m hoping life will get back to less hectic for a while.

Carmy, “Animal crackers in my soup….” There’s a Shirley Temple for you!

Cleo, JFri, Carmy

Do you think Marg is done getting cleaned up? we should roust her out!

animal crackers in my soup, makes my belly go poop, poop, poop! Sorry, I learned that in grade school!!! :-D

Sorry I can’t stay longer tonight, but I need some sleep. I haven’t had a full night’s rest in about a week & a half, because I just don’t sleep near as well (or as long) when I’m not at home. Good night!

Dry, should I look in on marg? Noooooo, I think maybe you should do that!

Yea JFri I best do that! :-)

LOLs Dry! I never heard that version. Is it too late to change my drink order?

JFri—Single Barrel & Tennesse Whiskey.

Oops! Sorry, JFri. I just saw my drink, Thank you.

RRAmom—I’m trying to figure it out.

Give it up Terry. I tried that once, it’s impossible!
