Big Top by Rob Harrell for November 21, 2009

Breakfast?? Beach Boys Jan & Dean Kinks Dave Clark Five Herman’s Hermits And a side of Beatles!!

How about a side of Crickets? But I’m older than you are…

OK, how about: Seafood Omelet (crab, shrimp, oyster & clam) Bloody Marys Grits (for Akenta since it was missed this morning!!) Sausage Bacon Ham Hash Browns Butterhorns Krispy Kreme Donuts Grands Cinnamon Rolls Assorted Juices Assorted Teas (for Marg) Eggs Benedict (for Dry) Pirate Coffee

You want that with the Buddy Holly Special JPSteve??

Good Morning JFri, Steve and Dry! A cinnamon roll and some milk for me please. (I was still posting on yesterday, duh!) Toon Tour>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>BBL!

SNEAK! I had no freakin’ idea it was 1:23 AM! TGIS tmr., I mean TODAY! I’ll have Bloody Mary’s, Eggs Benedict, Pirate coffee, and oysters, just the oysters, and they better be RAW oysters! ROFLMAO!

Thank you kind sir!

OK, you Sleepyheads MADE me do this!!

**WAKEUP CALL!!

HI MARG!!!

Beat ya!

Raw with red sauce LOADED with tabasco sauce!!!

NOW THERE’S A MAN WHO KNOWS WHAT GOOD EATING IS! YOU SIR, KNOW HOW TO PLEASE!

Carmy, don’t feel bad! I looked at the clock on my computer and just about had a hissy! I’m not tired now, but in the morning my a@@ will be dragging!

And if someone attempts to wake me with his wake up call at 6am, he’ll be VERY SORRY! And I don’t mean Doc! He’ll be next on my hit list!

Her Chariot? Oh Pete, you had it made until you did that!

Wow! Pete That is kind of a small car. What’s the mileage on that thing?

goodnight JFri! Loved the oysters and eggs benedict, and the bloody mary’s! “I’ll see ya’ when I see ya’! (Not if I see you first! LOL)

Goodnight Carmy and JPSteve!

Goodnight Dry!

I wonder how many clowns are already in the car. They’re brave to let Stucco do the driving too!

I once had a girl in the back seat of a VW. She screamed, “What kind of girl do you think I am, a contortionist?” She didn’t make me breakfast.

..but it gets 40 miles per liter…

Good Morning all! Today is the big day, and I’m heading out “early” so to speak, likely won’t be on again tonight, so peace and love all!

Good Morning all. I will have a seafood omelet and a Bloody Mary. Thanks JFri.

OOO a chauffeur driven clown car. Pete’s the man.

The Bloody Mary should do a good job of loosening up The Kinks.

OOOH….I will have a dozen oysters on the half shell. No sauce, I like them plain thank you.

Happy Saturday all. Mid-30s and very sunny in my neighborhood. I’ll just grab a Krisy Kreme with my DIet Coke w/Lime to tide me over on my toon rounds. Laters gators.

☼

Good Morning Mopar, Doc, Cleo, Dcguys, Johnny, 3hourtour & Lewreader!

And a fine Saturday Morning it is!!

I need coffee!

At least Andrea has a good reaction to the small car! That’s all that counts.

Howdy dcguys & Doc. It is 38 here and some blue sky is actually peeking out from behind the clouds.

Tribal Anthem? “Spending time with paradise people….sunshine forever……”

(((((((((TRIBE)))))) Good morning.

Things are much better on this end, though. Tuesday my spouse went and camped out on the Employment Agency’s doorstep until someone was able to assist. Things are straightened out and Friday we got the ‘catch up’ check. That’s good because insurance is due on the 27th and I was looking at selling my engagement ring…..

Wednesday my Pastor asked me for my car keys during choir practice. I knew he was going to drop off a bag of foodstuffs like peanutbutter. I got home and I had an overflowing laundrybasket of groceries to bring in. I’m set for the next couple of weeks, including Thanksgiving. That gives breathing room as I try to knock the finances back into a semblence of order.

Next week is a short week, and I’m on vacation the following week. My karma overfloweth today so I’m putting a large deposit of karma in the bank. Take what you need, today it’s good karma.

Got to run, Hope to be checking in later!

Good Morning Quaby & JFri.

((((((((((Quaby))))))))))

Man JFri, what made you think of that on a Saturday morning? lol

Morning everyone! What makes my mind do ANYTHING on a Saturday morning, Terry? Apparently………not much!!

Maybe it was a tune hangover from last night??

Good Morning Terry, JFri & Quaby. I wish you even more good luck Quaby.

Good Morning! Just to report on my worries yesterday - Things are selling today!!!!!!!! I have sold enough so far to pay for my doctor’s appt. next month!

Celecca in Great Mood!!

YAY, ((((((((((Quaby))))))))))!!

Good Morning Celecca

I hear you JFri

Headed out to get my hair cut. BBL

congrats celecca.

Two more hours of selling, then i can get some sleep. Thanks everyone who listened to my worries yesterday. I promise I won’t overdo the niceness if the Tribe.

Cleo - how was your dinner last night? SOunded good.

celecca dinner was so very good. We had a great evening.

YAY (((((((((celleca)))))))))!! Good news abounds!!

JFri and Cleo, left you messages at Bound and Gagged!

Morning Doc!

Never heard that song JFri, but it’s catchy!

WOW!!! VENUS RISES & GRACES US WITH HER PRESENCE!!

Our new neighbors have a redbone. He howls/barks like my Charlie Girl that I lost 3 years ago. Sounds just like her! Every time he barks, my first instinct is to go and let Charlie in!

Answered you at B&G, Dry.

JFri answered you too! (BTW Smartie! If you hadn’t kept me up so late last night, I would have been here sooner!)

Good morning everyone.

it sounds like everyone is having really good things happen for them. ((((((((((((((((((((((((All Tribe)))))))))))))))))))))))))))

Doc love your avatar this week. Are you sure you didn’t sneak in a get a picture of my cats? The color is not the same but sometimes they liked to tangle themselves up like that.

Good to know you pay attention, Doc!

Hi serena

Hi. I’ll be in and out all day today. Today I plan to do something I’ve been meaning to do for years. I’m going to go through all my magazines and books and force myself to pass most of them on. Not easy to do when you’re an admitted packrat [especially with books, magazines and videos] but I’ll try. Wish me luck.

Or I might just stay on here and keep them all, but most of them I haven’t even looked at for months or even years. HELP!!!!!!!!

Back for a little while before I go to pool league.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Good morning Serena & Dry Good luck with “passing on” your books and magazines Serena. I too, am an admitted “packrat”!

serena I have magazines I subsribed to, Backyard Living (finally let the subscription lapse after I saw I had at least 7 issues still in the wrapper), subscribed to Family Circle because 2 years were only $5,99, have at least 6 still in the wrapper! Now I just throw the offers in trash without even opening them!

Where did you go Cleo?

Celecca I do crafts, too. Jewelry (mostly necklaces and bracelets), small artworks, and snowflakes. Man I do snowflakes. I have 2 patters I really like and two that are ok. I have 98% of my stuff in a craftstore in Ladson, and in the past 3 months nothing has sold. Hardly anthing of anyone’s has sold.(there are about 8-10 featured artists), I have a necklace which is getting lotsa complements but no buyers….and it’s only $60, very cheap for the type and work. Ah well, like you said, keeps me off the streets.

Anyway I hope you do well at your craft sale. Take care!

Getting ready to head out to pool. See you all later.

P&L Tribe

Whatever you do Doc, never get rid of it!

Doc, Not sure if you’re kidding or not, but I know NOTHING about ebay. I should learn though, I have enough good stuff here I could sell instead of going thru an antigue dealer. But consider this, if you get rid of it, you may regret it for the rest of your life!

howdy all. good to hear the better news from Quaby & Celecca, and best of luck to serena’s attempt to lessen the clutter. i have first hand experience of what she speaks as well. i have 10 boxes of comic books in my store room taking up space, unlikely to have any value in particular, and i haven’t got around to dealing with them - and i stopped collecting over 20 years (and 1 move) ago. so i can relate to pack rats.

((((Tribe))))

for those in need…

hi yyyguy! I’m popping in and out because I’m too lazy to do the things I SHOULD DO!

Dry re: DocT’s archive. You might well be correct.

as for being “too lazy to do the things i should do” - i’m very familiar with that too.

yyyguy I think so, and I think he knows it as well! :-D

i should be at least trying to put together the bookshelves i bought almost a month ago, but can’t face the thought of forcing my creaky knees to the floor to do the assembly. should have thought of that before i went to IKEA. oh well, sooner or later.

going to tour toonland a bit, since i missed yesterday. btw: thanks for the AC/DC wake up call last night. i spent the small amount of time i had listening to them instead of visiting. (i figured there was no point in just saying good bye.)

DRY

Took me a while to recognize who was in your avatar. Boy, does he look disgusted with someone! LOL

JFri I always wondered what that song said! Yeah, I think it fits us: Paradise people in Abergevenny♪♫♪♪♫

HELLO AND GOODBYE TO THE REST OF THE TRIBE. I just got in and now I have to finish my second paper and memorize something for tomorrow.

Shika, it’s a catchy little tune from the 60’s and VERY obscure!!**

I still think this one fits us!

Try that again,

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

Where did

Shika

get to?

holy mackerel!! 2 hours to tour? i was farther behind than i thought. bbl. Dry Stampeders were the openers at the first concert i ever saw. (Guess Who at Maple Leaf Gardens in Toronto in around 1974) all i remember is partying up in the nosebleeds, and again on the bus ride home - since it was a school function (barely). what a blast! Guess Who are my favourite band ever, though the Beatles, AC/DC, and Zep follow close behind on my personal hit parade.

Good afternoon all: I can never look at a Smart Car without thinking clown car.

I have gotten through some of my mags. I made 2 piles, one to keep and one to go. Now I just have to keep from putting anything from the to-go pile back on the keep pile.

Doc selling your archives on ebay might work. I am always amazed at the stuff people are trying to sell. But if you are serious [you’re not, are you?] make really sure or you’ll want it all back as soon as it sells. Maybe it would just be easier to add another room?

Where is everybody?

i’m still here serena just bopping back and forth between crossword puzzles and BT. i have at least one box of books to get rid of which is still on the floor of my library (and, as noted above, went out and bought more shelf space), so i know what you feel.

Saucy i thought the smart car was an interesting principle when i bought my last new car in 2005, but had to pass on it when i saw that it wouldn’t even hold my golf clubs (unless i put them in the passenger seat - which wasn’t going to happen). “clown car” seems an apt description. and for what you’d pay for one you could have a full sized car (or any way, a compact).

yyyguy with all the big rigs on the highways these days, I would be terrified to take a Smart car on the open road.

with all the driving vacations i’ve done in the last four years, i’m very glad i bought the Malibu. on my trip through western Canada, i got almost 33 mpg - which included a week of driving in mountains - for a trip of over 6800 miles. it’s a bit thirsty in town, but it’s built for highway cruising and i can actually stretch in it, so it’s very comfortable to drive. and i’ve seen smart cars on the highway and think the drivers are insane, desperate, or both.

took me 5 minutes to type the last post because i had to convert from km to miles and to mpg from L/100km (which i think is a stupid rating so i usually think in terms of km/L) and US gallons instead of Canadian.

DRY

Where are you?

I can’t stay. See ya!

SHIKABOO!!

cannot stay any longer either. Leafs game starts in 10 minutes and i need to make supper first. by to Dry, JFri, Shika, and others i may have missed. it’s been fun. (((Tribe)))

*HI*

Quaby - this is the best year I’ve had. I think people may be starting to think a little more positively - at least in this area.

I thank y’all for your congrats and well wishes. I’m going back to bed. Nap wasn’t enough.

Go Buckeyes!

Haylo Tribe

Back from pool. Early night! Started feeling shoddy again. But I did win at pool. And more important, my team won!

What’s happening. Awful quiet today!

Penn State won and Northwestern beat #16 Wisconsin!!!!!

WhooHoo!!

Is anybody around right now?

Wow, it is slow here today. I spent all day in town running errands and get home to find maybe only 30 or so comments since I left.

@♠Lonewolf♠, no.

@ Bmonk, Why?

Cleo, All the noisy yappers are off doing other things!

Because we weren’t around?

We were busy?

Hello Doc, Cleo & Bmonk!

So was I, what’s your point? HUH?

Hello, and Goodbye, ♠Lonewolf♠, Doc, & Cleo!

Adios Bmonk! LOL

Howdy everybody. thanks for timing all your posts for when I can finally sit at the computer for a bit.

Point was, you asked if anyone was around. It was an hour before I saw it, so I answered. Tongue firmly planted in cheek.

(I always do enjoy comments that deny being a comment. From my days studying metaphysics.)

You’re alright Bmonk

Just messin with ya! Remember?

Glad we could oblige Cleo.

Doc - Good evening. Shopping puts me into a trance. That’s something like sleep I guess.

RL beckons, be back in a bit.

Doc - I have a cousin like that. Fortunately, she has plenty of money, but she feels guilty if she leaves a shop without buying something. She has clothes in her closet that she has never worn. I think it’s got to be some kind of sickness.

Have a good night Doc. And I am off to help with dinner.

Hope to be back later, but you never know. For now, toodle loo.

Good Night Doc!

See you later Cleo

I am between dinner and a movie. Hello MoPar. Wow, until you post it’s been two hours. Hellooooooooo.

Hello all

Or none whichever the case may be.

Hello Mopar & Cleo, I am between programs and the hockey game! Be back during intermissions and commercials.

I am here. My wife got tired watching the movie and went to bed. It is pouring outside. At least it held out all day and waited until tonight.

Wow I haven’t seen it this dead around here in a long, long time.

Cleo

I am in and out at the moment. How are you doing my friend?

Terry I’m just hanging out surfing the web.
