Good Morning, Tribeandall!

Breakfast Menu:

Eggs, your choice Bacon Sausage, patties or links Honey Ham Grits Texas Toast English Muffins Asst Fruit Juices Asst flavored teas. Decaf, Regular or Doc’s World Famous Nuclear Coffee Cinnamon Rolls w/Frosted Icing Johanan’s CocoMocha Bloody Marys Chocolate milk Chocolate cake

Order as you wish and enjoy, everyone!

Where did you come from?

Hi LuvH8!

Dagnabit, it’s good to see you!

Well, I just thought I would check one more time. Of course I am not sure I would have posted if I had to supply breakfast. (giggles)

I probably would have posted another desert menu.

Mendasock! I felt like lemon meringue pie! Can you fix my eggs in a lemon meringue pie?

I like that! I think mendasock will be my newest naughty word.

Thank you, LuvH8.

I’ll do what ever you want for breakfast as long as I don’t have to look at it or eat it!

You don’t like lemon meringue pie? Wait! you will make whatever I want? Oh! This could be interesting!!!!!

Easy now.

How do you feel about making a Nuclear Chocolate Pie from scratch? I’m sure it won’t do anything bad. (whispers under breath ~ of course I won’t be there when he makes it just in case)

Real nice! Leave me hangin’, why don’t you!

Well, that way I can be outside the Big Top to call the ambulance and fire department if ………

Uh-oh, was that my outside typing?

I am going to call it a night.

Good Night LuvH8

P&L

Good Morning Lewreader and Rac!

Good Night Lonewolf.

LONEWOLF How good it is too come back after a day of grumbling to see such an appetizing breakfast. However, just as I was making up my mind over the delicious assortment, LUVH8’S inspired suggestion caught my eye. I would love some NUCLEAR CHOCOLATE PIE that is if you have the culinary expertise to make it. Not that I doubt your cooking ability for a second, but I think LUVH8 does.

Morning TRIBE! Sorry ‘bout yesterday but somehow I forgot that the end of the rainbow is BIG TOP.

Good Morning Lewreader, I think he was afraid to make it.

Lewreader, I caught your post as I was about to shut down for the night or morning, however you want to say it. Whatever you want you may have, but certain items come at your own risk……………………..sir!

I’ve been doing breakfasts here for a while now though not as long as some of the older folk and I think I have a pretty tight handle on how it is done, my friend. Here is your NUCLEAR CHOCOLATE PIE and a special napkin to wipe the residue from your face and hands!

ENJOY, SIR!

Now I guess you were wrong, LuvH8!

:^)

Outta here for real this time!!

I want some! I want some!

Hey, the tent is still standing, imagine that.

Morning Lonewolf, LuvH8, Lew and Tribe

Looks like the last day of the World Famous Doc’s Nuclear Coffee arc. It sure was fun while it lasted.

Hope you’re sleeping fast, wolfie.

I hope Lew’s still standing. I’d wait for a bit to see if Lew starts seeing faces in BT before I’d try the pie Luv

And the final hope of the day… that everyone’s safe and healthy….((((((tribe)))))

Gotta roll… we’re leaving….BBL Poof Poof!

Cmon lets go

Oh Poop! Does thant mea everybody’s gone?

Good Morning, ♠Lonewolf♠, LuvH8, Lewreader & rac0308!

For shame Dusty!

Mornin’ Fellow Baby! Off to work I go, because I owe and owe and owe!

Ping

Nope - Good Morning Grog

Hey Doc and Dry

Good Morning, Fellow Baby & Doctor Toon!

Good Morning Everyone!

Another beautiful day.

Hope everyone has a great day!

I have to wonder about that nuclear chocolate pie thing! I can understand nuclear coffee cake.

Doctor Toon: Evidently so. Aaron had these suggestions (as you must’ve seen) over at Adam@Home:

Doc’s Nuclear Minty Fresh Mouthwash?

Doc’s Nuclear Coffee & Tea Stain Minty Fresh Toothpaste?

Incidentally, Doc, the ripostes over at my blog about your noble product are hilarious (at least to me). Thanks to you and everyone else who participated.

Good Morning, Johanan

Doc, I think I just lost my appetite. Please don’t let me loose any more than that.

Ohh! a dance-off! How exciting.

Good morning TRIBE & Big Sister.

Please save me some of that Nuclear Chocolate pie so that I can have some when I get home.

See you all later.

Have a good day, Ladywolf.

Good morning all. LW, may I have 3 eggs over easy with sausage, bacon, ham and grits, please. I’ll as usual supply my own Cokey Cola (never ask me about the flavoring I put in it).

That’s it! (runs to washroom while trying to hold on to his cookies for as long as he can!)

Move over Fellow Baby! I’m right behind ya’!

Just made it. Doc, next time give a fair warning. It’s a long haul to the men’s room. In my mad dash, I had to knock down a couple co-workers in my path to get there in time.

Morning Doc, rac, Misng, Johanan.

Yeah, but we don’t want any recordable injuries on our safety record. We take safety very seriously down here.

Cash works for me, Grog. Keeps it off the safety report everytime.

Yay! I get to do my favoritest thing!

I gotta go yell at a dumma$$ vendor.

BBL

Good Morning! Doc, you trying to turn the Big Top into a vomitorium? If you are, I’m telling Rob!

Good morning, Carmy!

We don’t want give Hy any extra cleaning duties.

You’re pouting? Oh please! That will only work with Wildcheetah mister! Grog, I agree, Hy doesn’t need any extra work, but Doc does!

Fellow Baby still hasen’t returned from her meeting with Ralph!

I’m sure she’s okay, Grog. She’s pretty feisty, you know!

Irish Nuclear Eyeball Stew Marinated Nuclear Monkey Meat Raised in Nuclear Grounds Dried Worms

Good Morning Everyone!

Doc, ha ha! Yea wildcheetah, she’s definitely a smart cookie!

Good Morning Doc!

Well you are an influence! I am pretty sure that I will still get the blame though.

Plus, I’m hungry! Just thinking about what to make for breakfast. Hmmm……….. maybe Nuclear Cocoa Oatmeal with Raisins & Rotten Apples?

Fellow Baby I’m back, someone had to clean up Ralph when you were through!

Doctor Toon said, 15 minutes ago Carmy - It doesn’t work with wildcheetah either darnit

Doc, have you tried begging?

Luv I think it was blowing cookies.

Good Morning, LuvH8 I don’t think you want the “cookies” I was offering up.

I would let it go at influence, Doc.

Well of course, you are a good influence.

Rac, why would anyone want to blow COOKIES? COOKIES are Yummy!

Soggy morning, tribe! Cleo - What did you do? We’ve got more rain here than we need! Guess up by KC they got a lot too, according to this news story: Flash floods and storms are wreaking havoc in Johnson County tonight, cutting down communication, closing roadways and prompting a water rescue — of a fountain. After 5 p.m. this evening callers reported a small car submerged in water in the area of Roe Avenue and Tomahawk Creek Parkway, across the street from the Town Center Plaza. When divers went in for the rescue they discovered that the two small lights shining through the water came from a fountain that callers had forgotten was there.

It’s better than effluence, Doc

Good morning, Rmom

We got that rainy day feeling again as well.

Rmom Good morning.

comment on the story - oops, sorry

Hi, Grog! - They’re thinking the rain may end this afternoon. The river that our house overlooks is predicted to rise above flood stage today. But that happens frequently, so not really that big of a deal. A few roads get closed, some fields have temporary rivers, but nothing horrible.

Good Morning Rmom We don’t have rain (yet), But it is extra gloomy with a chance of more gloom.

Well Doc is a good influence on me. Hmm…. that doesn’t say much for me, huh?

Yeah, we’re expecting some flash floods here too, particularly to the west, but things should be ok by drive time.

I am getting sick of this though! I wish that low pressure system would move off already.

Good Morning Grog

Were you offering up oatmeal vomit cookies soaked in Pepsi?

Hi, Doc & rac!

Rac - Glad you liked the story. It made me smile. (Probably because I wasn’t the caller!)

Grog - Do you have a boat to use for commuting?

Off to another meeting. Hope this won’t take long.

Hi, LuvH8! You know, you could help a person lose weight by just thinking of your foods. New diet plan!

Rmom ~ Do you think it would work? It made me hungry.

LuvH8 - Let’s just say that you have a very unusual appetite! For those of us who are more picky eaters, we won’t be asking for dinner invitations from you.

Hey! Does that mean I am excused from making breakfast?

How about having breakfast catered?

Do you think I could find a caterer with a recipe for banana slug pate?

Bring your own coffee, Doc.

Good morning Luv. Rmom’s right. Your menus would work well at an Addams Family Reunion.

Gee, I hope no one is eating when they read this (giggles).

Good Morning All. Bring on the noise and funk.

Good Morning Cleo. Ya missed all the funky food talk. LuvH8 really gets into it.

Hi, Cleo! Seems like your cloudy, rainy weather has been spreading its misery.

LuvH8, I don’t have a boat. I should tell you about my pre-move visit to the Pasadena plant. That was fun!

Good Morning Doc, rac, Rmom & Grog. Yes my cloudy weather often spreads misery.

Good morning all. We here to have a lot of rain. Our street flooded but we have drain down the street. Before we bought the place two years ago we asked the Realtor about flooding and since this is a bi-level the lower level showed no signs of ever being flooded. All a small ditch compared to the big ditch. I think the small ditch drains into the big ditch and the city keeps cleared. Rmom from the sever thunderstorms your way did you lose power there at your location? Here we did. Day before 1 1/2 during the night. And yesterday 1 hour.

Heads up spammers have not quite I wish they would. Flagged on couple of strips. Or am I waisting my time. Since they feel they have a right to post and make our lives miserable.

Hi Cleo, rmom and Kab! It must be raining everywhere today! I wish I had taken time to put my porch plants out in the grass for a good soaking. It has been pouring. Until I get home, it will probably be done. My plants could have had a good drink!

Hi, Kab! We’ve only had short power outages - less than 10 minutes. I read a comment on a story in the Eagle about the rain. “All in favor of moving the River Festival to June, raise your right oar!”

I get those annoying split-second interuptions - just enough to reset all your clocks. I hate that!

Good Morning Kab & Dry. How thoughtless Dry, you should always have your planets well being forefront in your mind.

Grog - I try to get battery backup for all our clocks. Cuts down on that problem, but of course, that’s not always possible to get. Our house thermostat’s clock does okay for those split-second interruptions. But for anything longer, I have to reset the day & time, or else it goes to their pre-set defaults, which Doc would like, but freeze me! With a laptop computer, the short power interruptions aren’t too bad. But my sons’ desktop computers aren’t happy when that happens.

Dry - Are you now Queen of the Universe?

Cleo said a few posts above: “How thoughtless Dry, you should always have your planets well being forefront in your mind.”

Sweet dreams, Doc!

Rmom, I try to do the same too. Unfortunately there’s the toaster over, microwave and and stove that need to be reset each time. The toaster oven is the biggest P.I.T.A. The microwave is easy.

Good night, Doc. May you dream of some of those menu items you were dreaming up this morning.

Grog - Our toaster oven doesn’t have a clock on it. Microwave’s easy to set. I ignore the stove’s - it is analog. I do use analog on battery powered wall clocks, but the stove’s is located where I don’t look at it often.

Rmom I think the reason city of Wichita wants to move the Riverfest to June not sure when rain and school being out so more kids can go. They lost a lot on attendance in past and this past Riverfest. Us here we don’t go. Well I have sorta different news here. You knew what I let you know about my surgery when was in April now therapy is almost over and getting to the joint in my shoulder. Now my husband has his turn he is 64 our primary sent him to a heart specialist 2 or 3 years ago well next Thurs. gonna be a long day for both of us he receives his first heart catheterization using dye. Only two hospitals does this one in Wichita the other in Andover. Wichita is Galihca

Kab - I’m surprised St. Francis or Wesley doesn’t do those. Maybe the heart docs that did that all switched to the new hospitals. I think the heart doc that did my Dad’s at St. Francis went to Galichia. I’ve never been in the Andover hospital, although I’ve driven past it.

Rmom my hands have minds of their own and often type things I never intend.

Cleo - Maybe Dry utilizes telekinesis to get your hands to do her bidding?

Rmom to answer your question? Yes I suppose I am!!! At least all the PLANETS contained therein!!!

And tell me rmom, what is a toaster OVER? Apparently, my Fellow Baby owns one!

Cleo’s hands have always been a question for debate!

Good catch, Dry! I should have noticed Grog’s typo, too. I’ve had headaches for the last 6 days, so I’m not up to par.

@LuvH8, every time I see your avatar, I can’t help but think of this.

If those toaster overs work well, I’ll have to get me “one of them thar bleeep new contraptions!”

If Cleo hadn’t put that part about typing in his comment, I could have had real fun teasing him! Can’t think of anyway to make something funny out of a toaster OVER right now, but maybe you can, Dry.

Hi bmonk. You never did send those liturgical notes, maybe you missed my reply to your question.

I must remember to stop using that sewing term that means to sew a sock! Maybe if I used the term for a beavers home, the nanny bot might not notice!

Dry - I think LuvH8 came up with an acceptable substitute for “darn” - it is “mendasock”.

Grog said, about 16 treks ago

And I had to walk 10 miles uphill in blizzards to get to school.

Are you sure that wasn’t uphill…both ways?

The only thing I don’t like about DVDs: it takes so mendasock long to rewind them…

bmonk - Maybe you need to re-read the DVD instructions…

Rewind a DVD? OK..

bmonk I didn’t want to over-exaggerate - like my old man.

Fellow Baby I like my toaster oven. I don’t have a toaster, so it comes in handy there and to re-heat meals. I prefer it to using the microwave to reheat meals.

I only use the microwave when I’m in a hurry or to heat frozen meals like healthy choice.

Yeah, probably so–but the DVDs never have any printed on them! ;-)

LuvH8 will probably change her avatar after watching that video. It’s been many, many years since I’ve seen that - unlike the Smothers Brothers “My Old Man” video.

I don’t know–it talks about love and fun and joy. What’s not to like? And Ernie is sweet.

Unlike party-pooper Bert.

Good Morning & Afternoon Everyone!

I see…….

Good Afternoon, Everyone!

Quick stop once again today. How is everyone doing. I hope those that can are enjoying the day.

Hello, LuvH8 & ♠Lonewolf♠

Hello, Grog!

I’m running again! Catch you all later! Have fun everyone.

P&L

Hello Grog,

Is it a busy day for you?

Hello & Good Bye Lonewolf

Not as bad as yesterday, LuvH8, but yes it is busy.

Well, at least the work day is more than half over. I will be back this afternoon. I have to go to my meeting and do some stuff. Do you want anything at the grocery store?

I’m good, thanks.

bmonk yes you do, and I as well! Thanks!

K see you later Grog

Bye Everyone

Well, I have had my bike ride and lunch. Now what mischief can I get into?

I don’t know, cleo. Just don’t make us sick like Doctor Toon did with his morning menu suggestions. You’ll have Fellow Baby and I running for our respective toilets again.

Well. I’ve just been told I can go home now, so…..

♪♫♪See you later, Aligators….♪♫♪

See you Grog.

And it’s getting a little quiet now.

Did you get home, Grog? Hi Cleo you’ve done much more than I. I did sweep some spiders and their webs from the porch swing. Masses of tiny little spiders. Guess it’s the season. DocT I guess the arc is coming to an end on A@H but it has been fun. Don’t think I’ll try the mouthwash though. I want to keep my teeth. LuvH8 and DocT I had to stop reading while I was eating my lunch - the conversations were just not conducive to digestion. Hey, Terry and Dry, where did you disappear to? And Hi Rac, Kab, Ladywolf, RMom, Carmy, Lew, Misng, Johanan, BMonk I really hope I didn’t miss anyone today. I do miss Quaby’s Krispy Kremes.

Dawn I have had masses of those same little spiders, clinging to my hot tub cover, clinging to the door of my mailbox, back on my hot tub cover. I am a sweeping fool.

Hi Dawn. Yes, I’m home now. Traffic is so much better when I can leave at 2:45. Took me less than a half hour as opposed to the usual 45+ minutes.

Hi, Dawn! Just busy doing Algebra. I’m on a 5 minute break, will have to return to it soon. :(

RMom somehow i thought your youngest had graduated or is that this year. Grog I know what you mean. I used to live across Calgary from where I worked, then I transferred to where I could walk to work (well - a long walk - three miles - but I did it sometimes) It sure made a difference. Instead of fighting traffic, when I drove, It only took ten minutes. Cleo I am so tired of those little blighters and the wasps just don’t seem to be interested in them. Do you know if they get big or do they stay tiny?

I just made a marinade for some fajitas and am now making almond biscotti.

Yummmm - may i move in with you, Cleo? *LG* wouldn’t mind, would she?

Dawn - My youngest should have graduated by now, but with my mom dying, and me having to spend a lot of time cleaning out her house, working on estate stuff, we’re running behind schedule. So, it is summer school for us.

Well, he’ll get it done soon enough - as will you. He’ll also be more ready for post-secondary, if that’s in his plans. Then what do you plan to do with your time? Take a well-deserved break?

No LilG wouldn’t mind Dawn, but she would probably do with you what she does with me…put you to work.

LilG asked me this morning what I thought of making an easy 500 dollars. I said, “Doing What?” Apparently there are a group of road cyclists that are riding through from Portland and need a place for ten cyclists to spend the night and they are willing to sleep on the floor, plus a catering service will provide a gourmet meal. I said sure, why not. We aren’t sure if it is going to happen yet, somebody could have responded before us.

Gotta go - BBL

See you later, Dawn! Cleo - Does that mean you’ll have to wear clothes while the bicyclists are there?

Rmom only if they insist.

LOL! Are they all male?

Good afternoon, everyone.

Got done early for a change!

Hi & Bye,Dawn. Sorry I missed you! :^(

Hello again, ♠Lonewolf♠. Good for you. So did I.

Hello Terry. Rmom, no clue as to what sex they are but would expect both males and females.

I saw that you got done early too, Grog! Cool.

How are you doing, Grog?

Hi, Terry! Glad to hear you’re done!

Hi, Cleo. I take it you are ENJOYING the weather today!

I had no clue what your avatar depicted Terry until I clicked on it. I figured it was wolf related but could not make it out when it was small. It’s funny how once you have seen the image even the small image seems obvious now.

Hello, Rmom!

Cleo - I would think LiG wouldn’t be thrilled about you going without clothes around female cyclists, but whatever.

Terry it is raining and gray. Does that answer your question? I have a friend that is from San Diego, but lives just ten miles from me. He hates gray rainy northwest days and longs to be back in San Diego. He gets very depressed with the days we have been getting, especially when they become a regular day to day experience. LilG called his wife today on a business matter and asked how things were going and was told “not…well…at…all” So, I called this afternoon and left a message inviting them to dinner this weekend.

Just had a good laugh at the Cheers Thanksgiving food fight.

I’m doing good, **♠Lonewolf♠……and you?

I think I’m going to walk out to get the mail. BBL.

No LilG would be fine Rmom, but I was joking when I responded to your inquiry.

That must be a long walk.

Grog that was a hilarious episode of Cheers.

Cleo, I am sorry. I thought last I heard your weather had become sunny and nice.

Yeah, cleo. We all think we’re finally going to get to see Vera…..until Diane throws a pumpkin pie in her face. Another scream.

I doing fine, Grog. Thanks for asking.

Terry it was nice for most of yesterday then turned in the latter afternoon and rained all night and today has been pretty sad, we did get our bike ride in though.

Grog, that episode is one of their best and that is saying a lot because they have so many. Another great one is the one where they go snipe hunting.

I seem to irritate JAD. I have repeatedly stuck up for him when I see him being ganged up on, but he likes to challenge me regularly and did so today at Citizen Dog.

It seems as if he gets angry when some of us stick up for him, Cleo. He’s acted that way with me, too.

I’m sorry to hear about your weather, Cleo. I love to sit on the porch or the patio and watch the rain sometimes while drinking coffee, but it can get old when it is day after day.

This is a comic site and it should be reader friendly. It’s hard sometimes for certain people not to take things that are said too seriously here. Especially when you can not talk face to face with that person.

Don’t Worry, Be Happy!

Terry, if I got offended by people getting on my case I would have been gone long ago. I have met so many good people on gocomics that make the daily ritual a true pleasure.

cleo, I think your his flavor of the month.

I’ve been picked on and congratulated by him on the same day on different strips - and on others just plain picked on.

I know Cleo. I feel the same way, but I sure wish I had your patience, sir. I t sure would help me at times! lol

Same here, Grog.

Cleo - The driveway is fairly long. But I dawdled too - checked the rain gauge, dumped out 4 inches. Looked at the gouges in the driveway caused by the torrential rain last night, and tried to figure out how to drive out without damaging the car until we can get them filled in. Had to stop and remove Osage Orange thorns from the Crocs I was wearing. Climbed back up the stairs (2nd floor) and rested in the recliner until my bp came back up to normal. Opened & read the mail. It was pretty nice weather, so no incentive to rush.

Good afternoon, Doc!

I’m sure Cleo can send those clouds to you!

Fraid not, Doc. I’m not sure where the rains were, but they certainly weren’t in Pasadena or League City. My house was the warmest it’s been so far this year when I got in. It was a lot warmer than it was supposed to be out there due to lack of cloud cover.

Hi, Doc! We’ve got a few clouds left, but I’m sure Cleo’s got more than he needs.

We got dumped on yesterday, but today was sunny and mid 80’s.

Doc, I have sent clouds special delivery and it worked as it is clearing up a bit, which it tends to do most late afternoons. Rmom, getting the mail is quite an adventure for you.

Once again, those are some great pics you put up, Rmom. I first now got a chance to scope them out.

I forgot to take a look. Thanks, ♠Lonewolf♠. I still have to check out Adam@Home, too.

Glad you liked them Terry! I just happened to run across them, and decided to upload. It is difficult to take bad pictures of the Grand Canyon, in my opinion.

Everything is still damp here, but is pretty pleasant right now. Cool enough that the humidity isn’t stifling.

I have central air, too, Doc, but it wasn’t set to kick in until my normal arrival time. I don’t have it cooling the house all day. Electricity is not cheap down here.

Rmom, the one thing that is hard to do at the Grand Canyon is to convey the sheer enormity of what you are looking at in a picture. The views are so jaw dropping when you experience them in person.

Depends on the humidity and the type of system. Our geo-thermal system works best if it doesn’t have to do extremes, so they told us it was better to let it run 24/7.

Rmom & Cleo, I believe you are both right about the Grand Canyon.

Rmom. I would have to agree with you. It is hard to take a bad picture of the Grand Canyon, but it is possible for Thomas Kinkade to paint a hideous likeness of it. His heart certainly wasn’t in it.

Cleo - I agree! That was the main reason I thought it needed to be a “must see” for our kids before they leave home. A lot of tourist attractions can be reasonably captured on camera, but not the Grand Canyon.

Very nice photos, Rmom!

Grog, are you talking about the one entitled “The Grand Canyon”? Or is there another one?

Thanks, Grog! I’ve seen several Thomas Kinkade’s paintings, but not any of the Grand Canyon. The pictures I put up are just like I took them - no editing. The only pictures I didn’t include were close ups of my family’s faces.

We are very lucky to have the National Parks. A few years ago I heard talk about letting them be run by private businesses. To me that would be a mistake of enormous proportions.

I by no means am trying to start a political discussion here but, if we can’t fund adequately for National Parks we had better cut spending elsewhere. They are our most precious resource.

I also heard that, Cleo. I hope it never comes to that!

♠Lonewolf & Rmom♠, this is the image. He did no other, but he did one of Sedona Cliffs I believe, which was equally unimpressive.

http://www.thomkinkadegallery.com/#/content/p/9/pid/2217/catid/1031/TheGrandCanyon

Let me see if I can do something about that link.

http://tinyurl.com/The-Grand-Canyon

I agree, cleo. The Government wastes enough money as is on useless projects & studies. Let them cut those budgets.

Yep, that’s the one I was referring to, Grog.

Hideous, isn’t it, ♠Lonewolf♠?

Yes, it is Grog. Being a fan of T. Kinkade, I have seen it before and wondered why. With all of his beautiful paintings, it doesn’t make sense how that one came out.

Good Night, Doc. Catch you on the flip side, my friend!

I miss your more lengthy visits Doc, but that is life. Have a good one.

That one and another hideous one, Radiant Surf have been on display at my local Kemah Gallery since I moved here. As I understand it, no one’s expressed interest in either. And they have 2 of Radiant Surf

Good night, Doc!

I’m sure that doesn’t surprise you, Grog. lol

Not a bit, ♠Lonewolf♠. I may have different tastes than the masses, but not that different.

The Blackhawks game is starting. One more, just One More!

I think I’ll do some housework, but I’ll check back in occasionally.

Yes!. Game Time!

But we’re watching different games, ♠Lonewolf♠

Are you watching baseball, Grog?

LilG is on her way home. I wandered around the yard as I smoked a cigar. I am sipping a Booker’s. Life is good.

New or old shows?

Yes it is, Cleo. :^)

I’d settle for a beer and a smoke, but that’ll have to wait til I get home Friday.

The original Longest Yard with Burt Reynolds, Eddy Albert and Bernadette Peters among others.

But you said Mean Machines, Grog.

Sure, ♠Lonewolf♠ the cons were the

If you haven’t seen it, ♠Lonewolf♠, I highly recommend it.

Grog - Wasn’t there a movie called Mean Machines about the con’s playing the guards?

I’ve seen The Longest Yard. Burt Reynolds was one of my favorites at one time.

This hockey game is very fast paced. End to end constantly!

I don’t think so, ♠Lonewolf♠. The only other reference to Mean Machine appears to be about soccer. Of course, Montreal once had a team called the Machine in the WFL.

Grog, try this one.

WooHoo!!! 1-0 ‘Hawks!

♠Lonewolf♠, read this paragraph, from the review, which I find highly insulting - especially since I find soccer to be a snooze and Rugby to outclass it by a country mile.

In this remake of 1974’s ‘The Longest Yard’, the V-Man plays Danny “Mean Machine” Meehan, the one-time England football captain now serving time for drunken assault on a couple of policemen. The film’s already got one-up on the original version (which had Burt Reynolds in the lead), thanks to its decision to replace American football with a proper sport. But it does little else to alter the formula of a picture which was fairly well-received Stateside, if relatively unknown on these shores.

I wouldn’t watch this if it was the last film on Earth. I’d rather go to a Attack Of the Killer Tomatoes marathon.

I agree with you Grog. I just remember somebody making mention of a film called Mean Machines. I don’t even know if that was the movie. It’s the only one I find with that name.

ROFL–Attack of the Killer Tomatoes?!

Hello TRIBE.

Sorry that I missed you last night Lonewolf.

Hi, Ladywolf - I was wondering until I went back on the posts.

Hello, Ladywolf It was strange not seeing you in the turnover posts and stranger still seeing you in the morning hours.

I was feeling aggravated last night and it put me in a bad mood. So I just logged out and went to bed. I feel pretty good tonight, and hope that the Blackhawks win.

I was on very early this morning for a short time.

Me, too!!!!!!

Grog I wanted to make up a little bit So that is why I logged on this morning.

Well it ws nice seeing you around the time I normally log in, Ladywolf.

Where is LuvH8 at?

So how about that Chocolate nuclear pie. There should still be a piece left with my name on it.

We left a piece for you in the BT refrigerator, Ladywolf.

♠Lonewolf♠, I’ll have fried eggs, cloudy side up and bacon please.

Ladywolf ~ Over there on the table that thing on the plate that is glowing neon orange and sort of black around the edges.

Be careful I cut my cheek trying to eat my piece.

Have no fear, LuvH8 is here.

Looks delicious!

Hello Grog, Little Sister, Lonewolf, Cleo & Rmom

Kind of late but coming right up, Grog. Enjoy!

♠Lonewolf♠, I have breakfast for supper on occasion - particularly if I go without bacon and eggs for a long time. I like to see those 24 hour breakfast joints, too.

You people must quit complaining about your sunshine!!!

Heheh! I too eat breakfast for supper occasionally and I hit the breakfast joints after pool once in a while if Wolfangil doesn’t have work in the morning.

I’m definitely not complaining, LuvH8.

Munch, munch, munch,……….Burp!

Wow! that is a good piece of pie.

(Blows smoke from mouth.)

Big Sister! I only complain about sunshine because I want some of your rain.

They just called a bad penalty against Chicago and the Blackhawks score anyhow!

Hey Fellow Baby!!! Yes the Longest Yard was a GREAT flick. Did you know Burt Reynolds and James Hampton were very close friends in real life? The remake of that movie stunk!

I’m surprised in all your talk about movies you haven’t mentioned “Deliverance” or “Southern Comfort” or don’t you care for those types of movies?

I’m happy with my cloudy side up eggs.

Is this going to be one of those games of ”You score, I score, and we’ll see who can score the most?”

I with you on that one Grog!

It just might be, Ladywolf.

Good evening, Fellow Baby! I don’t care those movies, but don’t take it personally. There are plenty of classics I won’t watch either, whether it’s because I’m not crazy about the story or the actors.

I scream, you scream, we all scream for ice cream?

Way to go, Blackhawks*. Take no prisoners.

Lonewolf, has Wolfangil ever watched you play pool, and please tell her that I said hello.

Fellow Baby! at least my version of The Longest Yard is not edited for television. I just passed the *”I think he broke his bleeepin’ neck” scene.

Grog, I am not fond of those types of movies either.

Ladywolf, yes she watches me play sometimes. Mostly at tournaments, not so much at my pool leagues. I have had her on my teams some in the past.

I do have a lot of rain. There was a brief shower today followed by a ray of sunshine. Everything was all sparkly and bright for about 3 minutes!

She says “Hello” back at you, Ladywolf.

Fellow Baby what classics don’t you like? There are some I don’t like, and frankly, I’m not crazy about silent films, even though they were the first movies ever made. I imagine back in the day, people thought they were fantastic!

I have seen both the original and remake of The Longest Yard. The original is indeed the best. Especially the end of it.

Hello Wolfangil!

I have a copied unedited version of TLY, Grog.

Only 3 minutes! 3 magical minutes. :-)

Grog do you watch any cartoons? Which ones?

What year was the remake of TLY, Grog

:-)

3-2 ‘Hawks!!

Philly can’t keep up with the Hawks, Grog. Just too fast. Philly looks tired already.

Well it is about time that a visiting team won anyways.

Doctor Zhivago, The King & I, A Streetcar Named Desire are few I can list off the top of my head. I am not a fan of Steve McQueen, Richard Burton, Elizabeth Taylor, Anthony Quinn and Marlon Brando to name a few.

2005, ♠Lonewolf♠ The Flintstones, The Jetsons, Scooby Doo, Johnny Bravo & Rhen & Stimpy, LuvH8

I also don’t like silent films, Fellow Baby…or subtitled films, unless it’s something like The Longest Yard.

Fellow Baby I agree with you on all those except for Steve McQueen. Loved him, and you SURELY must have enjoyed the “Great Escape”!

I won’t necessarily like an Academy Award Winning - or nominated film either.

Fellow Baby, there are exceptions to the rule, like The Longest Day & Where Eagles Dare.

Did you know in the first season of Scooby Doo several of the episodes have a noticable thing weird with their coloring for a second or two?

Grog, I usually don’t watch remakes unless someone has seen it and highly suggests seeing it. Very seldom is it as good as the original. But there are exceptions to that rule!

They did seem magical Little Sister.

And, yes, The Great Escape, but James Garner was my favorite actor in that one - not taking anything away from any of the other fine American and British actors.

They were all good in that! That was quite an ensemble they put together for that movie! One of my all time favorites! And based on a true story, did you know that?

They were all good in that! That was quite an ensemble they put together for that movie! One of my all time favorites! And based on a true story, did you know that?

Nor I, ♠Lonewolf♠. I can’t wait to see the original The Man Who Knew Too Much again. I have bother versions.

At least for that moment in time Big Sister. Something that should be cherished.

Yes I knew that Fellow Baby.

Bodanski just got nailed the first time. Shall we go for two?

Grog, that is one of my favorites!

The movie was true to the book, which was the writer’s stipulation for making the movie - none of that Hollywood embellishment.

I love Hitchcock - but I would not want to see any of them remade!

I have seen quite a few things in my life that I consider special. The last one was very early one morning when I saw a green leaf from a plant. It had some dew drops on it, then just before I looked away I saw a small spider that looked completely transparent. ( Kind of like a crystal. ) It was very beautiful.

Ooooh, Hitchcock. Now you’re speaking my language, Grog!

Speaking of great ensembles, Fellow Baby, did you ever see “It’s a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World”?

It is one of my favorite things the weather does.

A long time ago, Fellow Baby!

It’s still as funny as it was then, just saw it again about a month and a half ago.

Stick this in your trophy case!

The Stanley Cup Trophy is so beautiful………………….

What’s that, Grog?

Stick what!……….Do I dare ask?

The “Game ball”. Crew to the Warden.

Aha! Gotcha.

I love that movie!

Grog, you like Ren and Stimpy? I loved Powdered Toast Man!

Hang in there tough Antti Niemi. I hope that I spelled that right.

(Giggles!)

Yep, you did, Ladywolf.

6:39 to go Grog!

8th page already. Wow!

Hey Carmy! Ren and Stimpy too, huh? LOL!

It’s Log for Grog.

Oh, darn!

Dry, yes, Ren and Stimpy. I’m over at youtube and they have a lot of clips. Hilarious!

Oddly enough, I didn’t get to see those episodes, Carmy He doesn’t ring a bell - and I haven’t seen the show in such a long time.

I have to add Futurama to the list of cartoons I watch.

Futurama is good. :^)

O.T?

Thanks, Carmy, that was good.

I got to liking King of the Hill for some odd reason. I can’t stnad most of those cartoons, got tired of the Simpsons, Family Guy turned gross, but I did like Futurama.

Where did Big Sister go? I didn’t see her poof!

Not yet, Grog. 1:45 left in regulation.

Grog, there’s a clip of “Happy, Happy, Joy, Joy” on youtube.

Same here, Fellow Baby. I liked Stewy, but Peter wore thin on me very quickly. I also watch King of the Hill on occasion.

She is still around I think. Maybe not into movie/TV talk?

OT, Grog!

Grog, here’s Powdered Toast Man. You can see more if you want to on youtube.

Where did you get to, LuvH8. It’s a full intermission.

Yeah, Peter is a real jerk!!! Even for a cartoon character!! LOL! They should have cancelled that instead of King of the Hill.

Carmy, I saw part one of Powdered Toast Man. He’s rather unconventional isn’t he?

I got one for you Grog.

WARNING, JOKE AHEAD!

At a game between Montreal and Toronto, a spectator suddenly found himself in the thick of dozens of flying bottles. “There’s nothing to worry about, lad,” said the elderly chap siting next to him. ” It’s like the bombs during the war. You won’t get hit unless the bottle’s got your name on it.” “That’s just what I’m worried about,” said the fan. “My name’s Johnny Walker”.

Grog, I didn’t see part one of Powdered Toast Man. Was it bad? Sometimes they got a bit too risque.

That one was funny, Carmy. As I stated, I didn’t recall seeing Powdered Toast Man on Ren & Stimpy

Dry, i didn’t know they canceled King of the Hill.

Well I for one love the Simpsons.

Heheh, imagine that, Cleo!

No, it wasn’t Carmy, but his method of saving a cat was unconventional (using a plane to stop an oncoming truck)and once he had another emergency to deal with he tossed the cat aside. He saves a Bishop or something and gets an emergency during his flight. He then parks the guy on his @ss on top of a pointed peak. OUCH! End part 1.

Carmy, Yes, it hasn’t been on for a while now. I got to watching it, and started to like it. I really liked Luann and that boy, what was his name? I forget now.

Grog, did you used to watch any of the other Nick shows? I liked Kablam!

I can take it or leave it, cleo.If there’s something I like better, I’ll watch it, but I eventually got tired of The Simpsons

Come on Blackhawks! You need to establish puck dominance and get into a formation that will score.

Grog, LMBO! Yep, that’s Powdered Toast Man! Dry, I think I may have only seen an episode or two. I don’t recall who Luann was. Hey Cleo!

Grog maybe the reason I never got tired of the Simpsons is that since I have no TV I only get to see it on occasion. I know that when we travel and have a motel or condo with TV I lose my patience very quickly since suddenly commercials have become super annoying. It’s funny when you are used to it how everything seems normal, but once seperated from TV the annoying aspects seem to be very much in the forefront.
