Annie by Jay Maeder and Alan Kupperberg for May 12, 2010

Whew! That was a close one for Annie!

Good morning early birds!

What a great relationship those two have…. Good morning, all you Annie fans! Leaky is away, so I have to do his job for him. Hope he gives me some of his winnings.

GM VistaBill…………..

I see your’e back to Ole Walter again…. what a comfort!!!

Mornin’ Bill (& all the rest of the insomniacs).

Well, what is PaPa’s agenda with saving Annie from Junior??????

Yep! I was using Kong to drive the bad guys away. G’morning ML. Like your avatar!

It must have worked, VB, he hasn’t bothered us for a while.

Hey, the old guy has a pretty good right hook!

GM, LS, Marg, MLady, VBill, LordD, WW, Floyd and everyone.

Well, GM to ALL, I’ve just hit the wall, need to refresh……

see y’all in the a.m.

g’night…

Papa, why hit you me, Papa? You spy Papa, I kill you too Papa. Oy Vey!

Goodnight everyone, or the one of you.

BB

BB, it is only one of us, pulling the strings behind the scenery.

Oh gee, Jr is stoned again.

I’m a little surprised Jr even noted.

and

I think Papa’s life expectancy may have shortened a little.

\\//_

Caught within his crushing grip Annie’s feels her life begin to slip Foolish she was to sneak about Now her future is in doubt But papa calms sonny down With a blow to his crown Though his head is thick and hard The rock proves harder in this regard And while papa is having his say Now would be the time to run away But Annie seems to want to stay and talk Maybe because papa still has the rock

Good morning everybody. I’m on vacation. Anyone ever been to Petit Jean State Park?

Great artwork today!

G’Mawnin’ Marg - So that’s why Leaky hasn’t told anyone my deep dark secret.

Lonewolf - Ha! Anybody would have a good right hook with a brick in his hand.

DKram - I’m surprised he didn’t just shrug it off.

WW - Another good one, as usual.

For cryin’ out loud, Annie, run girl.

Most unexpected, I figured Sandy would come sniffing around with Daddy or someone in tow.

Missed talkin’ last night but I was beat, and I’m off again today. Gettin’ too old for all this runnin’ around.

Oh well, At keast I can still run (walk actually) around.

Well I wake up in the morning, time to face and other day. And I get up in the morning Knowin’ I’m gonna Pay. Ain’t nothin’ I can do aboutt it, You know times’ gonna have it’s way. Oh, I thought I’d last forever, Then I started gettin’ gray.

first verse of “The Geriatric Blues”

Rock and Roll?

Good song, Floyd H., I can relate. Another wonder from Wonder Warthog!

Good morning davidf42 ! Where is Petit Jean State Park?

N7325 saio: Rock and Roll?

It says “The Geriatric BLUES”

margueritem said: Nice song Floyd H, I can relate

Thank you. I figured there would be a few out there who could. I wrote it for my birthday show in ‘02. Here’s the second verse:

When I was a young man A long long time ago, When I was a young man I was always on the go, Lookin’ for a good time, Treatin’ life like a holiday. Oh I thought i’d last forever, Then I started gettin’ grey.

Had a good crowd that night, B’day #71

Geriatric? Now I get it!

Sock puppets pretending to be a bunch of old women.

“Good morning, blah-blah-blah.”

“Hi, blah-blah, how’s blah-blah-blah.”

“How’s the knitting going, blah-blah-blah.”

Floyd H. said, “Missed talkin’ last night but I was beat, and I’m off again today. Gettin’ too old for all this runnin’ around”

Know the feeling, Floyd. I’m nearing 76 and live on the east coast so I don’t get the new comics until 1:15 am. Sometimes I have a hard time staying up until then.

Doubloon said, “How’s the knitting going, blah-blah-blah.”

Actually, I prefer crochet work, Doubloon!

Hey Doubloon, we thought we had lost you! Welcome back, our day is just not the same without you.

Marg, it’s in Arkansas. It’s a very beautiful place, a green canyon with a waterfall and hiking trails and great history. But we’re not there now, we just drove up to Mountain View, home of great ol’ mountain music. The WIFI here in our motel is as slow as Christmas Molasses.

Great lyrics Floyd. Thank you margueritem and davidf42.

Well doubloon has come back today Insipid blather is all he has to say Lashing out and snapping at any fun he sees Trying to stem the hurt that brings him to his knees Pathetic little child who is bereft of any friend Crying from the torment that never seems to end Doomed he is to a life filled with fear and hate If he doesn’t take the steps to alter his tragic fate So hate him not nor curse him in his plight He is to be pitied as he rails against the night.

Awesome X2, WW. You are tops in that department!

Outstanding (as usual) WW!

What is your new avatar. margueritem? I see some gemstones, I think. My eyes aren’t seeing very well today.

VistaBill, I don’t think I could stay up thal late. I’m lucky to last t’i; midnight and my jaws are starting to ache from so much yawning.

Verse three, of four tomorrow. I will do, if ot nobody has any objections, yje lurics to a song I started in the mid-70s and how it came to be.

.

Been a looonnng day for me. I’m gonna try to lasy until 10:15.

VistaBill, I’ll be 79 come September 10th.

I might not make it tonight, Floyd.

“Verse three, of four tomorrow. I will do, if ot nobody has any objections,”

No objections from me. I’m enjoying it.

“Been a looonnng day for me. I’m gonna try to lasy until 10:15.”

This is addictive, Floyd!

“VistaBill, I’ll be 79 come September 10th.”

I still have a (short) way to go!

I have a feeling that doubloon dresses up as Jack Sparrow a lot….

Morning, Anniephans!
