Someone take care of my WINK! Dusty, I’m surprised at you!

Somebody please put a PFD on Wink!

Woodeye, what’s a PFD? Hi Woodeye!

Oh Great!

Now Wink’s going to be a soggy bear. we’re going to need lots of towels, and a hair blow-dryer.

HI DRY AND WOODEYE!

I made some brownies today and put 1/4 cup of Godiva liquer in them….heaven!

Good night TRIBE.

HI, MARG!!!

Dry, it’s a Personal Flotation Device!!

Good Morning/Late Evening Tribe

Good Morning Marg!

HI JFRI!

DRY, thanks for the omelet!

Marg!! You gonna eat all those brownies by **yourself?

‘Morning Terry!

Ooooooooo, anchovie pizza!!

JFri Thanks for answering for me.

Please excuse WoodEye from class for the last couple of days. Work has been eating him alive… and he’s supposed to be retired.

Howdy, Dry & WoodEye!!

WoodEye, no problem! How long were you tired before you got REtired?

JFri I was tired from 32.5 years at the same place, (various jobs). I finally made my escape and took a year off for golf and sailing. I went back to work doing something I really enjoy. The only problem is, they enjoy me too. Part time turned into 55 hours a week…….. (Sometimes) I’m tired…. going to bed now………

Goodnight Woodeye! Hey they enjoy you! Good for you!

DRY I love what you made for everyone else except me. I guess I’ll go to the breakfast bar. Maybe I can find some stale cornflakes and skim milk. Oh, that’s just a peel. Yeah like I thought you’d leave me a banana.

Morning TRIBE! Sorry about the mood.

JFRI, plenty of brownies to share! (In actuality, there are only three left)

Goodnight, ALL!

Good Morning, Lewreader.

Good Night, Marg!

Lewreader what would you like? I’ll be happy to make whatever you want, sir!

Lewreader you’re on a diet aren’t you? How about some yogurt with FRESH fruit?

Good Night All

P&L

Taking care of his baby sister one day while his parents went shopping, young John decided to go fishing and he had to take her along.

When his parents returned later in the day, John told them, “I’ll never take her fishing with me again! I didn’t catch a thing!”

His mother patted him on the shoulder and said,” Oh, I’m sure she’ll be nice and quiet next time and not scare away all the fish.”

John replied, “It wasn’t that. She ate all the bait!”

Good morning and Happy Friday!! Dry thank you for the grits.

LMAO - luvH8

Good Morning Tribe

Good Morning Rac0308

Good morning Lonewolf and Rac0308*

Heeee!

Gotta run - have a chiropractic appt. I understand painkillers.

Heeee!

Good Morning Celecca.

Have a great day!

Morning, Lonewolf Happy Friday.

Good Morning Grog & Doc.

Happy Friday, Doctor Toon!

Doc, they have us slated for 65 degrees & sunny today and tomorrow a high of only 38 with rain/snow mix.

Grog

And a Happy Friday back atcha!!!

Same here, Doc. High in the 40s Sunday and into the mid to high 50s during next week.

It certainly does to me, too, Doc

I don’t think it will even leave any snow accumulation on the ground tomorrow from what they are saying.

Got anything exciting planned this weekend, Grog?

Good Morning All. Wink, I’ll take your flirtini.

I will have a slice of JFri’s pizza. I love anchovies.

Not much really. I’ve been sitting here at work on these beautifull days and tomorrow’s looking like a washout with a cold front moving in Sunday. I think I’ll just clean up the house & watch a few movies. I’ve got a plumber coming in Monday. Hopefully, he’ll be done early so I can go to Kemah or something. It’ll start warming up by then. When I get back to work, the temps will be moving back into the 70’s (figures).

Happy Friday, cleo!

Good Morning, Cleo!

Doc & Grog, good day to you gentlemen.

Yes Doc, a day off with your sweetie. Not much can top that, except a million bucks dropping your lap.

Hello everyone on this site. Weatherman says snow for Saturday and here spring is coming at least it will melt. The one who said they work pt working 55 yours in not pt. I’ve been and still am pt not allowed over 1,000 per year. And I can change positions since I’m not a speed typer. I happened to be in a wrong department and no ones friend.

If I not suppose to ask the following question since I don’t know you please ignor. Has anyone had a torn ligament and if so can an arm be raised? I through MRI shows no torn ligament but degenerated disk and A word. I have a lot of popping a very sore Rt shoulder. Hurts to raise my arm. It’s mid morning here and nice and sunny. Yesterday was glorious near 60 degrees.

And what do you have planned for today, Cleo?

Good Morning Kab2rb.

70’s here all weekend! ♪♫♪♫♪♫♪♫♪ Zippity do dah, zippity aye! ♫ ♪♫♪♫♪♫♪♫♪♫

Hello, Fellow Baby!

Hey FELLOW BABY!

Thanks, but no thanks, Doc!

I’m having a busy morning but it’s a very quiet day here. In the Admin building where I work there are 24 staffers. We started the day with 4 and now we are down to 3.

Terry to answer your question sir, I am going to make bread. It is a nice day so I will spray some noxious invasive plants and then whatever else LilG manages to cook up in her busy mind.

cleo, How did the Irsish soda bread work out?

Grog I work pt else where but there are some taking part of spring break as a vacation. Me I’m not allowed off and if I do without pay. I am majorly scanning documents for on-base system. Takes a while to put files together less time to scann. The system will sometimes upload before I can check over and delete what needs deleting. But that’s okay I go on-base to do that. Dr. Toon I know you base yourself through comics. My question was in general and only a Dr. can answer. I have come upon people in real life who had the procedure done.

Grog, the bread was wonderful. I made two loaves, one with currants and one plain. Both were delicious. Everytime someone new eats the breads I make they like them so much that many have begun to make their own breads as well. It is tough to buy bread as good as what you can make yourself.

cleo, even my Mom didn’t make breads, but she was partial to the French bread in the markets. I have admit that freshly made French bread went well with a bowl of pea soup on a cold winter day.

Now when I eat bread & sandwiches, it’s the high fibre stuff. Yum!

Later, Doctor Toon

Hello Everyone!

Kab2rb ~ Ouch! Sorry that I can’t help you, but if you go to your library a librarian may be able to help you find some useful books. Also there are web sites such as WebMD that make general information available. I hope you find something that helps you.

: ) ~ Rac0308

Good Night Doc T

Good night Doc. Hello LuvH8.

Hello LuvH8

Re: last night’s posts. I thought you might take another spill doing your Happy creek dance. That’s why I said watch your behind.

Hi & Lois is a spin off of Mort Walker’s Beetle Bailey. Lois is Beetle’s sister.

At one time my former local paper carried both Walker strips but later dropped Beetle Bailey and kept Hi & Lois.

Grog we have my homemade baguettes several times a week with our dinner. We also eat healthy breads. I make many of them as well, but not all of our bread is made by me, but more and more of it is.

Hello Cleo ~ I never want to try your bread! I already have to make my own cookies because I don’t like the ones in the store. I am not ready to be spoiled by homemade bread.

Well it’s time to split this morgue for lunch.

BBL.

Grog!!

All future Happy Creek Dances will take place with feet firmly not moving! But fortunately when you fall in cold water, if you stay down you don’t have to ice your backside.

Back In The Day is scary today!

Cleo, No Pick Up Lines For You!!!

I have to start my weekend now.

Luv & Happiness Everyone!!!

LuvH8, yes the same thing is true of cookies. My wife’s and mine are so much better than most bought ones, but my wife is the only one eating them these days. She eats way more than me and stays thin. I watch what I eat to stay at the weight I wish to remain.

Fortunately, I no longer need to practice the fine art of the pick up line.

I’m about to go out into thie beautiful sunshine, but I have one thing to say about today’s strip.

WHATEVER HAPPENED TO LIFE JACKETS??

By the time I figured out what a PFD was, poor Wink had gone under, although not for the last time, I am sure.

Dusty! I’m ashamed of you.

Hi Shika

kab2rb, I have messed up my rt shoulder twice. First time was a major separation, no surgery. Second time I shattered it, had surgery. After the dislocation, I experiences everything you described. After the surgery, no more problems.

from the horses mouth! SNERK!

JFri you know I love ya’ Turd! :-D

Turdette????

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

Turd, :-P :-P :-P :-P!

Let the week-end begin!!!

*Waaaaahhhh! It’s the weekend. That means no more vacation….

Not that I have had what I consider a vacation. Busy Busy Busy. But the space is ready for my son’s stuff, my desk is still a mess and surrounded by boxes I need to sort and toss (hopefully more tossing than stashing).

Good news is I sold a necklace and eyeglass leash, $38. Whoo I’m rich!! Sorta. Kinda.

Got to boogie on. Got my hubbie’s bed yesterday but forgot the mattress pad this morning. Going to go out when traffic’s not so bad and grab it.

Oh, yes. There is a baked potato bar in the BT eating area. All kinds of toppings for the imagination. Even salsa (I’ve discovered peach/pineapple/chiplole salsa).

Hello TRIBE I’m just checking in for the moment and thought I’d ask how you all were today.

A slow afternoon of posts. LilG’s son is stopping by for one night and so I made lamb shanks with orange and olives. I am about to put a graham cracker crust in the oven to brown and then the shanks and finally some baguettes. Had a nice ride around the lake in the sunshine and I did laundry. The last two days have been busy.

cleo, sip this Bookers and chill!! It’s Friday afternoon and time to relax!

I’m getting ready to prepare some lamb ke-bobs.

It’s almost time for a bloody caesar. After dinner, I’ve still got a couple Smithwick’s left to suck on.

Thank you JFri. Grog ALMOST TIME, ALMOST TIME!!! It is always time for alcohol, unless you are driving.

cleo, I have to finsh off a Pepsi first. Then, it’ll be time for alcohol, because I’ve got no intention of going anywhere tonight.

All right. Let the Happy Hour begin.

Be back in time for DD&D.

Grog I know Bloody Mary, what is a Bloody Ceasar? Now I’m thirsty for a Bloody Mary, I love celery, tomato juice and horseradish to start with! I remember many moons ago when I was pregnant and couldn’t drink, I had several Virgin Mary’s. First and ONLY time horseradish gave me indigestion! And man, did it EVER! LOL!

Dry a Caesar is more popular in Canada than here, it uses Clamato juice instead of tomato.

Dry, indigestion came from the baby, not horseradish. LOL

CLEO ALRIGHT! I LOVE CLAMATTO JUICE!

Cleo I beg to differ, the horseradish is what I tasted! LOL! Wasn’t funny then, but it is now!

Doc you’re in your element and I’m in mine! 67 degrees in March! * LOVIN” IT!* Going to plant my spring onions, some radishes and lettuce tmr.! Yes sir!

Doc good for you. Man, you are in a different world than me. I rode my bike in shorts and a T shirt and everything is in spring mode here. I am glad you are happy, because I am happy with my weather too.

Me, too, cleo! Hi, Grog!

Hey Guys! Good to see you. How’s everyone enjoying this fine spring weather?

Doc The snow couldn’t have happened to a better man!

Dry Ain’t it grand? Birds singing, flowers and trees are budding.

We will likely have a blizzard next week though, so I’m not putting my winter clothes away just yet.

Hello Shika & JFri.

In case anyone wants to join Dusty…

Flirtini

2 pieces of pineapple 1/2 oz orange ligueur 1/2 oz vodka 1 oz pineapple juice 3 oz champagne

Grog I never knew that about Hi and Lois. Where did you read that?

Years ago, I got a Beetle Bailey book signed by Mort Walker for my dad, who was a fan, and also in the hospital at the time. That was over twenty years ago.

Doc I love the weather channel! I guess you don’t get it, but you would enjoy some of the shows they have. And that was very nice of you to shovel the neighbors sidewalk!

Doc I agree. I love storms. Strange, eh?

cleo I’ll have one flirtini. It sounds good. But I think that Dusty should cool it.

Hi SHika yes it is wonderful! Tmr. is the FIRST DAY OF SPRING!

Hi, Shika!

Hi JFri!!!

Yeah! First day of spring. Whoo-hoo!!

I like your avatar JFri

Yours too Dry That’s a great photo!

I’ve had dinner, dessert, and will soon hit the books again.

cleo where’s my drink? Do I have to get Dusty to bring me one?

Shika that’s me and my alter ego! LOL! get it?

Dry I get it! LOL

Doc You were smart to fish like that. It may make you rich some day.

I just like the memories attached to my signed books. And the look of pleasure on my dad’s face when I gave him the book.

Back to work I guess. It’s been nice chin-wagging, even for a few minutes friends! See you later.

Before I disappear: Doc Who or what is that in your avatar? I missed seeing it somehow before.

Poor Kitty. I didn’t recognize it as a cat. I hope you feel better now.

Shika

Yes it looked like a fox at first, but I knew it was a cat because that’s what Doc does!

Doc yes you should! You are half off! LOL!

Good Evening Tribe.

Quite a long day for me here.

What’s happening?

Dagnabit Doc. Just a little on the late side for me.

Have a good night off, sir!

Good night Doc. I am skittering about doing this and doing that for dinner.

I’m back. I’ve got DD&D on the tube and a Smithwick’s in hand.

Hi, Lonewolf & Shika Sorry I missed you Shika, but here the link that’ll tell you a little bit more about how the strip began.

http://www.seattlepi.com/fun/comic.asp?featureid=HiandLois&info=1&featuredate=2010-03-19

Hi Cleo & Grog!

Well that didn’t work. Shika, when you get to the strip, click on the “About” link.

Hi Shika!

Bye Shika!

Grog, long url’s will not work in these envirorments. When it is that long you can go to tinyurl.com and convert it for these places.

Hello Terry. I may dash off without warning. Dinner is nearing.

Hey JFri & Dry

Dry, it was a number of years ago that I first had horse raddish in my drink. I’ve had both Mary’s and Caesars on the local bar scene, but ended up preferring the Caesar because it was so much smoother. But the bars never did put horseraddish in their drinks.

It wasn until my 30’s when I first had it. I was staying at my buddy’s place who was temporarily staying at his parents’ place between girl friends. His Dad saw us the afternoon after one of our benders and said “Looks like you guys could use a Caesar.

When I took my first sip my, my eyes just bulged. It was the best Caesar I had ever tasted. His Dad told me that it was a secret ingredient but later told me what it was.

Even though I don’t eat Roast Beast as much as I used to, I always ensure I’ve got horseraddish in the house for just the Caesars alone.

Try this, Shika http://tinyurl.com/HI-Lois

Thanks for the tip, Lonewolf.

Enjoy your dinner, Cleo. Catch you later! I think I am here for the evening, now.

You’re might welcome, Grog. Always a pleasure to help.

Lonewolf, my parents never let the kids dictate what would be shown on the tube. I’m glad my Dad liked to watch Star Trek & Rat Patrol.

I actually watched Dinasaurs because I liked it. I also liked Alf. Surprisingly, so did my Mom.

Same here. I was able to use the kids as an excuse for me watching Dinosaurs. Alf always had me laughing my tail off.

Hi all! I have been a wallflower for almost 1 year now!(clap-clap-clap) okay, hold the applause…i envy your friendship yet drool over your breakfast every morning around 7am the “real breakfast hour”..but being from jersey I must ask, where the heck is the pork roll on your menu? it ain’t breakfast without pork roll, egg and cheese on a hard roll!!

(sweep, sweep)

(dust, polish)

Good Evening Hymenoxis

How are you this fine evening, sir?

Good Evening and Welcome, 80’shairnomore!

Enjoy “the ride”“. It’s a lot of fun!

Good Evening, Hymenoxis

Grog Just watched “The Man Who Loved Cat Dancing” Haven’t seen it in years! Remember that one?

Hy It can’t be that dirty yet! Goodness sakes, I just got here!

Where’d my Turdy Bird JFri get to?

Hymenoxis, if you see an leftovers from pepper & egg sangwiches, that be me sir! Sorry about that.

Thank you Lonewolf! I’ve been following your on line’s for awhile now and went through all the trials and tribulations with you all…it read like a true novel…thank you for the “ride”

Welcome 80’sharemore! I have to admit I’ve never heard of a pork roll. But then, I never heard of kolaches until I moved to the Houston area. They are a very popular item down here.

Dry, I don’t believe I’ve heard of it. A musical? Who are the stars?

Dry, don’t know! What’s he look like? SNERK

Grog, kolaches, the pastry?

Hymenoxis, you must have the cleanest house in the West…and the East….And North & South for that matter.

Grog Burt Reynolds and Sarah Miles, a western? Musical, NO! You are thinking of Paint Your Wagon with Lee Marvin and Clint Eastwood!

commic what’s he look like? Geez he’s hard to describe! I’d know him if I saw him, though!

Lonewolf, they make them with a variety of fillings. Someone will often bring boxes into the plant for meeting etc. Those are usually filled with sausage & cheese. Some with have jalapeno, also. But having been in the area you are probably already familiar with it.

I occasionally stop by those places in the morning when I want a quick bite on the run while doing errands.

Grog, just making sure they were pastries you were talking about. Being of Slovak ancestry, I know them very well, In fact, it’s one of the foods I myself excel in cooking. My favorites are poppyseed and apricot filled ones. We spell it kolacky. I just wanted to make sure before I rambled.

Grog, thank you also for welcoming me…i don’t normally hang out this late on-line but i figured hey what the heck.

Dry??? I asked if it was a musical.

One of my good buddies loves Paint Your Wagon. I can’t stand it. I’ll take Calamity Jane any time, with someone who can sing and dance.

Just the thought of Eastwood and and Marvin singing makes me shudder and cover my ears.

80’shairnomore–Just come by anytime you are free and feel like yapping. We come and go most hours around here.

Grog and I said “A western? (As in ” A western, you didn’t know that! LOL!). You should check it out.

Has anyone ever had Gunite? I had Gunite today. My ears are still ringing. I have to get up in the morning and water my Gunite. I have to water my Gunite several times a day for over a week. My life will be consumed with Gunite for the forseeable future.

What the &#^% is Gunite?

Lonewolf, I’m sure it’s a different variation adapted to the local tastes. I haven’t seen anything with that kind of filling.

At least they can be eaten on the run without having a mess in your lap.

80’shairnomore, I take it you won’t be hanging around for breakfast at 1:10 ET? Either way, good to see you. This is also a good place to check out any other comics you like and comment on them.

Hello again all. Horseradish is the one heat that disipates upon contact, unlike a pepper. I am a horseradish snob. Originally on the west coast Maries made the only hot horseradish, then suddenly it was not longer available in the cooler section, even though their salad dressings are. The replacement, which can be hard to find is Marina and is only found in the cooler section. Beaver and all the other brands including Bubba’s, which is also in the cooler section, all lack heat.

Grog, there are many variations of the fillings and yes it is according to regions. But they are basically the same thing.

I’m with you Hymenoxis. What is Gunite?

Hello Cleo.

Hello Terry. Gunite is a mix of cement and sand which is very durable and used a lot with pools.

hymenoxis is going to be very popular with the Tribe once his pool is in.

“Gunite” is a component of swimming pools. It is strange and unexplainable. Not liquid, not solid, and apparently requires four hopefully documented workers about a half-day to apply. The various bits of machinery required to apply the material are designed to emit noise approximately equivalent to an aircraft test facility. It is brown.

Cleo we don’t have those brands of horseradish around here. How hot are they? The hotter the better for me. Of course, you know that! LOL!

Hymenoxis, If you ever need help cleaning, I’d be willing to lend you a helping paw.

So then, it is a “Western!”, Dry. You made it sound like I asked if it’s a western, which confused the heck out of me. I thought you were combining my post to Hy with the one intended for you.

I think you’re just trying to foozle me up.

Ladywolf-

Your help is welcome. I will provide beverages.

Good Evening, Lw18

Spring Break Begins?

Dry, Marina is nice and hot. You must have Beaver brand, which is a shelf brand as opposed to a cooler. If you don’t have it, take any shelf brand and multiply the heat by 3.

Yeah! And despite work, I will enjoy it.

Thank you hymenoxis.

Cleo No we don’t have Beaver brand. I did find that one brand of mustard from out your way, remember?

It is funny how tastes develop. I love horseradish and use it liberally. In the last 10 years I have gone from using horseradish, tabasco and lemon on raw oysters and wasabi on sashimi to using nothing. I have gotten to the point that I do not want to mask the flavor of the fish or oysters with anything.

(vacuums, empties ashtrays)

Hi, LW18

That cleaning can get dangerous with all bio hazards and all. Hymenoxis has all the necessary clothing to be worn while cleaning!

Vague memories Dry, but no, I do not remember the horseradish.

Oh Cleo I still love the horseradish, tabasco, wasabi, etc. I think it enhances the flavors, but I guess each ones tastes are different. I would miss those flavors if I could never have them anymore! :-(

Cleo-

I must agree. The subtle flavor of an oyster, or a bit of sashimi, shouldn’t be altered. I’m still guilty of dipping the fishy bits in soy sauce, just for the salty flavor, but I’m working on it.

Hello hymenoxis, cleokaya,lw18,dry and all I could not remember..also goodnight

Don’t you ever relax, Hymenoxis? You’re making me feel guilty for just watching a movie at this late hour.

Yes it is all what one wants to experience, no right or wrong way. I am into the fresh clean flavor of raw fresh fish. By the way, I didn’t realize it, but Marina horseradish is out of Seattle, so you couldn’t be expected to find it back east, to bad. It is potent.

Good Night 80’shairnomore.

Catch you later!

Good night shairnomore, drop by again.

Cleo It was Ingelhoffer’s.

Good night 80’shairnomore

shairnomore makes you wonder at the number of readers of Big Top that read all the comments but do not comment themselves. After all, look at the subscriber numbers.

Yes Dry, Ingelhoffer’s is a pretty good mustard.

Cleo, I’m showing 19943 subscribers. Do you get the same number when you scroll over it?

Ingelhoffer makes a horseradish, which I have not tried, but as I have said, I have never found a non-refrigerated horseradish that had any heat. And, most refrigerated ones do not either.

Grog, I was checking out those pastries on Wikipedia just out of curiosity. They are basically the same, but there are many more variations than I was even aware of. Pretty interesting!

See you later 80’shairnomore.

The pool cleaning uniform is as follows-

-a small bit of cloth above. -a small bit of cloth below. -sunglasses. -a straw cowboy hat. -green Wellington boots.

Applications available on request.

Terry, that is the number that I get as well. LilG is approaching, I may disappear without warning in seconds.

Hello!

Has anyone tried making their own horseradish? Apparantly I used to eat straight horseradish when I was around 4 years old. I can’t imagine it now. I guess they had to hide it from me.

Good Bye!

It certainly is Lonewolf. I’ve never heard of any such thing in Canada. I’m surprised that I didn’t encounter one of those places while in Dallas.

To my knowledge, no one even brought any to work, but then there was the company-funded cafeteria that served breakfast and a diner next door. Neither had kolaches on the menu at any time that I can recall

The places I’ve encountered that sell kolaches down here sell kolaches & drinks only.

Grog, I see them all over here in the Chicago area, but there are so many Slovaks here, so it makes sense.

Good Evening LuvH8!.

That sounds about right hymenoxis. Okay I’m all for it.

I love horseradish. That is some good stuff.

Hello & Goodbye LuvH8 Hope you can stay a while next time.

I never tried to make my own horseraddish, but I’m sure it could be better than the store-bought varieties down here. There’s not much to choose from and most of what’s available comes in the creamed form. Bluck!

It’s wonderful to see you again Grog.

Grog Making your own horseradish requires you to be prepared to have tears streaming down your face as you make it, but well worth the effort.

Cleo There was a couple vacationing in Aruba and snorkling and taking photos. It seems they MAY have found Natalie Holloways remains. Not sure yet, but legit enough to warrrant further investigation.

Hola Dry!

Good evening, Carmy

Hi Grog I’m on page three now. Thanks for the link! The first one worked for me, because I figured it out.

Thanks for the tiny url too. Fascinating story. I just never connected the two strips somehow.

Hymenoxsis (sweep, sweep) How are you?

I just finished watching Goodbye, Mr. Chips. Can you believe that was the first time I’ve ever seen it?

Hi, Shika. Glad you enjoyed it.

I never connected the 2 until I read that. I never saw the Beetle strip with Lois in it.

Hi Shika.

Grog That was a good movie.

Hymenoxsis I think “Gunite** is a cute way to say Good Night.

Hi Grog, Hi Shika

Grog did you like the movie?

comicaddict! Sorry I missed you. Pirate, that is! ARGH!

Hi Carmy

Hi Dry

Hi all

lazy, lazy me.

Grog, I’ve never seen Goodbye Mr. Chips, but I’ve read the book and it was a long time ago when I read it.

Shika, you are NOT lazy!

Hola Carmy!

Grog and Dry, I saw Kelly’s Heroes. I love Clint Eastwood, but yikes, he’s as old as my Mom!

Dry, there you are!

LW18 yes I did. Very nice movie. This one was the original made in ‘39. It was remade again in ‘69 with Peter O’Toole. My movie guide does not rate it as high as the original. I never liked Peter O’Toole anyway.

Shika, you spoiled my surprise exit line.

Hee-hee Carmy yes I am.

Watch:

“Gunite!”

See? Saved four letters. Or is that three? I’m too lazy too count. Giggle.

Love your avatar Dry

Nope, you’re not lazy, Shika. Understood.

Grog I was setting myself up for that line. In fact, for real, I must say:

GUNITE!! GUNITE!! GUNITE!!

RL calls! Be back at the turnover. You can run…………………….but you can’t hide. :^)

Drat! Drat & double drat. Foiled again!

WOOOO!!!!!! I’ll see all you Weekend Warriors in a little bit.

Goodnight Shika! 1 2 3

Could it be for real this time?

Gunite Carmy! (wink: got me!)

Gunite friends!!

It’s for real Grog Just watch me.

Going,

Going………..

GONE!

A Montreal baseball commentator used to say that. It meant that the batter hit a homer.

LOL Shika!

I’m afraid must depart as well. Wifey Bits has offered adult behaviour, and I have accepted.

(sweep, sweep)

Good night, Hymenoxis

Uh, Goodnight Hymenoxis!

Just caught the tale end of a wild movie called “The Fourth Kind!” Wish I had seen the beginning, kind of. It’s pretty freaky and supposedly based on a TRUE story!

I’m now watching A Yank at Eton starring Mickey Rooney & Edmund Gwenn.

Rooney’s doing his tough guy from Boy’s Town act.

Dry, freaky? you talking about here or the movie? Grog, I like Mickey Rooney. (Boys Town)

Grog, he’s good as the tough guy.

Boy’s Town was good, Carmy I also liked Spencer Tracey & the kid who played Pee Wee.

Carmy as in a documented UFO freaky! I was talking about the movie, but I guess that would qualify a couple of our posters of late!

Pee Wee! Dry, yup!

Dry

it’s a true story?
