HI, MARG!!

Good Morning JFri

Good Morning Marg!

Dry did NOT beat me, she jumped the gun by an HOUR!! Read the posts. She is NOWHERE on this page!! :-P

Roger that! Easy, man…………………………………….

Hey, Lonewolf

Good Morning Big G

Help yourself to all you want sir!

Goood morning Tribe,

Can I just grab a quick bedtime snack? Eggs, sausage, bacon, hash browns, pancakes and Rolaids ought to do it!

Good Morning Steve R

Help yourself!

Good morning, boyz! Breakfast looks good, Terry.

I’ll have eggs, pancakes, bacon, and some o’ them ‘hash borowns’.

HI, JFRI!!!!!

Alright you beautiful people, I am out of here for the night.

Good Night Marg, JFri and Big G!

Good Night All

Peace & Love Tribe!

Thanks Marg!!!

Help yourself to whatever you want, dear!! Even hash browns!

Good night, Tribe.

Mornin’, Akenta!!!

Good morning and Happy Thursday!! How are you doing, JFri? lonewolf thanks for breakfast - and since no one has mentioned it, you’ll be hearing from my lawyer shortly - now pass me some more pancakes, bacon, and eggs :-p

Good Morning Akenta & Mopar

Good Morning too, Akenta & Mopar. Oh, to answer your question yesterday about my “new job” Akenta, well now it’s just a “job” and it’s been four (or five) months since I had it, and I’m doing swell! The hours are from 9 A.M. to 2 P.M. Monday-Fridays. I can tell that I work at retail store in Fayetteville, GA.(not S.C.). Internet protocol prohibits me (or us) from giving street addresses or anything else that could threaten our security.

What’s wrong with the couch, Wink?

Morning Terry, I’ll have blueberry pancakes and OJ please

Akenta you’re a riot!

Steve remembers, don’t eat too close to bedtime, trust me, you’ll have h e LL to pay in the middle of the night! And the rolaids won’t work. Someday I hope I remember that! Geez!

Hi big and marg

**and JFri, I did so beat you! :-P

Coming right up my dear Dry.

Good Morning Doc

31 degrees here! Mid 50’s and sunny today and tomorrow. Good enough for me!

I have a couch I’d like to sue the MFG of! haha

Wow … the “Crew” is now the “Tribe” haha … how many other ‘groups’ have you made up Dry, Doc, Lonewolf, JFri, Akenta etc etc? :P

That’s funny Doc–Thank you for the morning laugh!

Good Morning Allan!

Good to see you over here.

Hi Allan with an A! Welcome!

*Hi Doc! I’ll take your 70’s and you can have my 40’s!

Good Morning Lonewolf, JFri, big G, Steve, Marg, Akenta, Dry, Allan and Doc!

I think Wink needs to sue Idaho, that’s where the couch potatoes come from.

Good Morning All

I’ve got errands to go do so I’ll see you all later. Have a great day everyone!

Good Morning all. Terry I will have eggs over medium, links, hash browns and fresh fruit with the nuke please.

Hey, this breakfast is making me fat. Oh well, it’s not my fault. I’ll sue Lonewolf. That way I can be both fat, rich and lazy.

Hi Carmy, DF and Cleo!

Howdy Dry. And how are you this fine, soon not to be fine, morning?

Good Morning Carmy, Cleo & Digital Frog!

Terry have you heard from my lawyers yet? snerk

They are telling us to prepare for flooding today. Fortunately, even though my house has a lake in front and a creek in back, it would take rains of biblical proportions to cause flooding around my house.

Good morning all, I can tell I’m getting better as I actually got out of bed in the morning.

Cleo–You would need to deal with my complaint department. I’d give you the phine number, but this is a public site. The person in charge at that number is Wolfangil and she has a hotline to someone that wields a machete. Whenever the complaint line rings, she mumbles something about calling this hotline and borrowing some old machete. I don’t know and don’t want to ask! LOL

Dry–Dear lady. I served breakfast when you asked but in my rush, I do believe I forgot to wish you a Good Morning.

So, with my sincerest apology…………

Good Morning Dry!

Good Morning Johnny

Good to hear your on the up & up!

I’m keeping my weather here. It is going to be a perfect day!

Glad you’re feeling a bit better johnnnyd.

Terry - In that case, I guess I’ll have to find someone else to blame. LOL

Hi johnny, glad you’re felling better.

good morning again, Terry.

I’m sorry I forgot to say it Dry. ;-(

Doc - Left you a gift suggestion at Cul De Sac.

Oh, Doc, there are a few good comments I could make over there!! LOL

BEFORE THE TURN DOESN’T COUNT, TURDETTE!!!

Morning, everybody!

Hi, Carmy!!

SOMEBODY had better ‘splain the rules to Allan!

Good Morning JFri

I’m going to regret this, but I have to agree on “cheating” before the turnover.

That would be like putting up the breakfast menu before the turnover. Not right!

Good morning to you too, TURD!

**and it counts because it was early, before the turn, :-P

So there! That’s my story and I;m sticking to it!

Heh, heh–I know Doc!–I’m getting better at it I think?!

Oh, oh, oh………………………………………………Leave sports alone!

Doc–Yes, I know!

(innocently whistling and rubbing foot back and forth on floor)

No! Sports talk never goes awry…

Well doc, too bad about the sports, yeah that’s just too bad! (you know I ain’t gonna stop, :-D!)

I may be the quiet one here, but I’m with Johnny & Dry on that one Doc!

*quiet? Oh please!

I plead the uh…………..yeah, the fifth. I think that’s the one.

Oh, yeah!

Doc, the only time your quiet is when Wildcheetah has your attention!

I guess I’ll have to plead on that empty bottle!

Somebody here must think I am the quiet one.

Any new posters on here?

I see how ya’all are gonna be………………………..Good thing I can’t take a hint!

Doc, I don’t know what you are talking about. I have bruises on my chin all the time from it dropping! LOL

as much as i’ve been around lately (Hi Tribe!) i must be the quiet one (and my family will never believe that hi Terry, DocT, Dry, JDoc, JFri, Cleo, & Carmy, & Allan. as for no sports, i’m with the majority. yes to sports. as for trading temps, i’d trade, but we aren’t lowest with a forecast high equal to about 50F. and as for DocT being accepted by the A-Team, you are my friend. of course our rules there are even simpler than here. say “A” when you leave a comment on the strip, and be nice. if you don’t want to be a member, say so.

(((Tribe)))

as for “jaw dropping” my definition for “drop dead gorgeous” was a woman so good looking that, when you told her she was gorgeous, she would reply, “Drop Dead,” and get away with it.

Hey, Lonewolf. THANKS FOR BACKING ME UP ON THAT OTHER THING!! And YES on sports!! Dry???

:-P :-P :-P :-P :-P

Harsh, yyyguy, lol

I got my bike ride in before the promised deluge.

Hello Yguy

That’s the most I’ve heard about the “A Team”.

JFri, Your welcome.Just calling it as I see it! LOL

yyyguy - Good Morning.

My solution to a bruised jaw was to grow a goatee. It doesn’t work, but at least the bruising doesn’t show.

Hey yyyguy!

Cleo, that’s a good idea!

Hey JFri, have I called you

**TURD LATELY? NO, WELL, TURD! ;-D

We got too many already!

I’ll have a full breakfast while I contact my lawyer (Japanese: Sosumi Areti) to file virtual papers against gocomics.com, UCLICK, and ♠Lonewolf♠….

Edit: And,

GOOD MORNING, TRIBE!

Howdy bmonk

Doc - If you are offering me your weather, I will take it.

Good Morning BMonk

I’ll just point him to “Lawyer Row” out in the back forty. Most don’t come back up to the house. I have Doc’s coffee waiting for those that do and then it’s a final return trip to the back forty! This keeps up, I’ll need to purchase more land!

DocT i saw a dialog between EMET and bmonk about religion which was civilized as opposed to what normally passes for discussion. later, EMET decided to start an A-Team on the strip and i was one of the first invitees (much to my surprise. he thought i had a sense of humour - go figure). the membership seems to have dwindled, i don’t even see much of EMET there any more.

Doc, it’s a special mixture. They NEVER return………………..

Maybe they would just get radiation poisoning… (sinister grin)

good thing. i always agreed in principle with Billy Shakespeare about the legal profession. they perpetuate their own existence by making it impossible to deal without them.

Yeah, what Yguy said!! LOL

How come proctologists always get the butt of the jokes?

because it’s such a large target?

as Bart Simpson, said. ”My ovaries!”

Doc I’m still FHIG, don’t worry!

That was good Doc! Now back to the Gynecologist……………………LOL

In the words of Shakespeare, Henry VI, Act IV, Scene II: “The First thing we do, lets kill all the lawyers”

I have a nice Tshirt from the PA Renaissance Faire with those words on the front which I proudly wear in public!

FHIG leaves are itchy, especially Feisty Hot Italian ones.

I rather see a mortician that not see one.

Cleo yes those hot peppers can burn if you aren’t used to them!

Dry Is our resident little red hot chili pepper.

didn’t they perform naked? or nearly so? i seem to remember something about gym socks…?

yyyguy - Every chance they get they play naked. Good band too.

Well, I guess that I better get outside and try to do a little work before the rain comes. I will turn on a fan and try to blow it your way Doc.

MoPar many thank yous! i hadn’t seen the answer before. i heard the song once, back in 1975, on a casette recording someone had made of it from the University FM station one night. it has stuck with me ever since. i’m going to have to see if it’s posted on you tube, when i get time.

and speaking of time, mine has expired. i need to get ready for work and will bid you all adieu (that’s French for “see you in the funnies” - loosely translated).

((((Tribe))))

See you later Yguy!

See you later also Mopar!

I also need to get some things done out in the garage. BBL

Gamble gamble for me, I will be heading out to my first class in three days. If all goes according to plan, I won’t die!

Stopping in at lunch from cleaning out the storage shed for my business. Not that it needed it……..price lists from 2004, catalogs for products I haven’t repped for over 5 years, demo equipment I thought was lost……nah, really didn’t need it…….

The back forty with the swamp and mutated snakes & ‘gators???? And they don’t come back??? Wonder why?

johnny, that which does not kill us, makes us stronger.

JFri I could say something, but I won’t!!!SNERK!

Hola Dry and everyone! I got my errands done, but now my husband is driving me crazy. He got some days off to help me out. Helpppppppppppppp meeeeeeeeeeeee! At least it’s almost Friday! BB when I can.

Nothing like extra help do cause terminal insanity!

Hi Carmy, bye Carmy! Hi bmonk!!!

Ooooooooooooo! So THAT’S where that old shrunken head got off to!?!?

Poor Uncle Franz!!

Hello Everyone

I didn’t get everything done, but it is good enough for today.

No it’s not Terry, get back to work!

JFri, I’ve found the opposite to be true.

Quittin time, BBS!

Oh yes it is, Dry!!!

Did you do school this afternoon Johnny?

I did, and barring the journey to and from, it went well. I’d say I’m operating at around 65%, ideally I will be 100% by Saturday or Sunday.

Johnny, Glad to hear that you are progressing.

Slowly, but most definitely progressing. This was the worst I’ve ever been sick, that was annoying.

I’ve got pool league tonight so I need to start getting ready. I’ll try to check back before I leave. I’ve had this song on my mind all day long and don’t know why!

Where is everybody?

**ALRIGHT DOC, WAKE UP I NEED SOME COMPANY!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gX2JCdgDXvU

Hi Dry

Will I do? I’m awake!

♠LoneWolf♠ You better get that song out of your head. What about wolfangil?

TOOT! WAKE UP!!

ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz…………………………..

**…………zzzzzzzzzzzZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ

zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz………**

*Sorry Shika, I got called away! How are you? Hi MoPar

WILDCHEETAH SNORES!!!!

Snoring, I woke you up with a very nice big band sound! Who woke you up? Is JFri correct, wildcheetah snores? OH MY, LOL!

OF COURSE I AM RIGHT!!!

Oh good lord, Doc! COULD YOU POSSIBLY GET ANY SAPPIER??? ROFLMAO!

JFRI, THERE’S ALWAYS A FIRST TIME! :-P :-P :-P

BAD? BAD? GO TAKE A COLD SHOWER DOC, NOW!! SAVE YOUR SOUL, MAN!:-D

Okaaaaay, here comes the hiney pinching.

At least it’s just Dry this time, docT!

PINCH, PINCH, PINCH! AND ONE EXTRA FOR CARMY! (I LOOK OUT FOR MY FRIENDS!)

HERE’S A COUPLE MORE DOC! PINCH, PINCH, PINCH, AND THIS TIME, TWO FOR CARMY! Man, you’re going to have some ‘splaning to do! ROFLMAO!!

A dear friend of mine is without their tv tonite, so I have agreed to give the details of the program on here, so they can at LEAST READ what happened on CSI tonight! SNERK! :-P :-P :-P!!!*

So i’ll be back in a few with the ending! :-P :-P :-P

hi all whats up?

Doc, wildcheetah has her own moniker! You can’t fool me! I have to have a talk with that lovely lady!

So where is my friend who wants to know how CSI turned out? Don’t worry TURD, I won’t tell you, but I WILL TELL YOU THIS, NEXT WEEK IS A TRILOLGY, MIAMI, NY AND VEGAS!

oh that is going to be a good one DRY i wish i could watch it. tell me how it goes.

tabby HI Girl! Why can’t you watch it?

Dry it has been SOOOOO SOOOOO SOOOOOOOO Long since i watched csi its crazy. like the last two seasons i haven’t seen it. it sad. dad and bro dosent like it. so i cant watch it and they have the power of the tv

Well hello, I have been without power for hours and am now online. It is amazing how much one depends on electricity. I feel suddenly enlightened.

Well Tabby the only things I watch is my soap which I record, and watch when I get home from work, and my CSI’s, certain news programs, FOOTBALL, the weather channel and somethng else every once in awhile, and when I want the TV I just tell everyone else TOUGH SHITSKY!

Come back JFri, I won’t tell you about the show! I promise!

This is turning into one turgid sexual power pumping zone of humpness.

CLEO so dont laugh but this last week or two i have been thinking of you ALOT lately. sigh our lovely art class has been showing ALOT of naked men statues. lol i know thats bad but funny. her curent two have been the davids.

David by michelangelo and david by donatello

Dry - Come on, you watch it all. The chippendale 24 hour channel, the mens beach volley ball channel, the men’ s rodeo channel. Men’ s surfing channel and men’s nude fishing.

Art class has a lot to do with nudes Tabby. The nude body is one of the most difficult things to draw. I have never felt comfortable with my abilities to render a good nude. Pay attention Tabby. It can be a very informative class and help tremendously with drawing other things.

Cleo No sorry dude, I don’t! Your avatars give me enough enjoyment that I don’t need those other channels, in fact, I THINK YOU ARE MAKING ALL THAT UP! FOR SHAME NAKED MAN! Have you run thru a car wash naked at 2am lately? roflmao!!

sorry my computer freeked out on me took me almost 20 mins to post that last post.

i have a test tomorrow. sigh.

Tabby - A lot of the actions of drawing a body revolve around drawing circles. If you need explanation let me know.

watching house love it

tabby, watch it on your computer! HELLOOOOO! I’M AN OLD FART AND KNOW THIS JUNK! YOUR SURE OUGHT TO!!

lol thank God im not drawing them. we are just doing over the history of art. it sucks big time i have history of art then right after it is history class. it sucks man. lol i wish we were drawing or painting or anything but we are just sitting there doing nothing. its bad bad bad.

Carwash at 2AM. No, I have been concentrating on bakeries.

jfri no time lol i take my very little free time and come here. duh i love you guys to much.

Art history is a bit annoying, even if you are into art, as I am. Well, just hang in there. Modern art, I found, is much more interesting than the art of the past. Tabby, it is hard to explain, but the older that you get, the more interesting history becomes.

I like history Cleo its just the teacher i guess. idk its just anoying. i want to learn about it but she makes it boring as heck and i just dont get it anymore. its crazy

Bakeries? Tell me where you go so I make sure I DON’T!

Tabby - I know what you mean. Some teachers can know a topic extremely well, but do not know how to deliver the information in a way that is easy for someone else to understand.

Tabby, teachers can make all the difference in the world. If you have a good teacher, you find yourself becoming interested in things that never interested you before, because they make the subject fun and exciting. And other teachers make it so boring that you do what you have to do to get by. One of my teachers in junior high school was a spinster and very strict, but she made history so exciting for me. She was my history teacher in 8th grade, and to this day I remember her so very well! Most kids made fun of her, but I liked and respected her very much!

Dry i had a teacher that i loved to death and respected her and still do. she was my 8th grade teacher as well science. i hated it till i got to her class. loved it then i had an art teacher in 9th grade that made me hate and i mean hate art. he sucked. so its so amazing how teachers make a class or break it. i want to be one of the great ones

Dry - How rude. I only go to bakeries where they are hoping to get a rise out of their product.

ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ* *

Huh? Sorry if I woke you Doc. You really should lock your door. You have women snoring in one room, pinching you on the hiney in another.

No wonder Wildcheetah gets ticked off! I know she used your computer to warn us too!

:-D

Cleo You are right about sketching humans. I’m no good at it. I prefer painting.

Who drew on you? Neat tatoos!

Tabby- the key is to rise above your teachers and just put all of your skills and learning into the class. If yo feel that you have put your all into the subject than you can feel like you have done your best despite the results.

hey SHIKA how you doing

cleo You go for the buns. Admit it.

Hi JFri! Long time no see.

Shika - How you doing girl? I go for hot cross buns baby.

I’m sorry I’m not on much these days. I’ve been pretty busy, and today I think I’m getting the stomach flu. so I’m off to bed again. I need to keep well for the semester.

Doc’s buns sure are cross! (pinched) I’m sure that’s not what you mean though! :-D

Hi Tabby Not bad apart from feeling sick.lol

i love the chase cormicials with the song

Im not superstices (sp) about you…. something along the lines. i just love the song

This talk about bakeries is making me hungry. I can’t be too sick I guess.

Tabby I don’t watch TV, so I have no idea what you are talking about.

Anyone want a hug before I go to bed? Last call!

*Tabby, the way you care about people, YOU WILL BE! THAT’S WHY YOU HAVE TO STICK WITH IT! *A lot of teachers today are in it for the all the wrong reasons!

Shika - If you feel like you are getting sick. Stick with us. If nothing else we will be your source of in the moment awareness. By following us you can be informed of my next nude sighting or Doc”s * next freezer stocking, or *Pirates next plunder. But by all means watch out for FHIG.

Hi, Shika!!

Hey you see me? Are you peeking?

Good Night then!

Peace and Love

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

(group hug)

Of course I’m peeking! I’m Shika. I am NOT addicted to this place at all.

Just the people.

i wanted a hug shika but got distracted. love you

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

Dry Are you going to let cleo get away with that?

Don’t worry Tabby, I’m still here. You should know that by now.

((((((((((((((((TABBY)))))))))))))))))

Dry couldn’t possibly be insulted by what I said. She will look upon it as a compliment.

Where is Pirate anyways? Off with Joy again?

Regarding earlier posts about history: I love history, which is funny considering I am a math/science type of guy.

yea Shika loveing you.

sorry i keep missing u.

by the way

shika

how is your week?

That’s right cleo That why we love her. Feisty Hot Italian Girl.

If she had my mom’s maiden name, she’d be a FHIG NEWTON. :-D

FHIG Newton! Priceless!

Busy Tabby Lots of work to do. I love it though.

Now my head hurts. Sorry guys. Gotta go this time. See you all tomorrow.
