Big Top by Rob Harrell for July 02, 2009

FIRST!!!!!!!

What was that you said

JFRI

Get a grip PETA lady and leave the circus!! Get a life!

Woo Hoo! Yea Dry!

French toast, fresh blueberry syrup and Vermont maple syrup, poached eggs, orange juice, or V8, canadian bacon, fresh cut pineapple and/or honeydew melon. Also Vanilla Lates or Earl Grey tea.

MAn I was way ahead of you guys. It changed over about 1:08!!

Hey PETA lady, listen to Wink! No flogs! Sheesh, maybe she doesn’t understand circus talk.

Thanks for the support

Carmy

I’d thank JFri but he must be busy elsewhere or else he left a long time ago!

Hey, Dry, I was rooting for you!

Dry, yummy breakfast! Ooh vanilla lattes, YES!!

BBL, making rounds. Oh, and I will be back for a refill very soon. :)

So how’s my breakfast sound?

Dry

????

i’m here

I’ll have some of aeverything! Can I have a *mocha?

For a minute or two, where are you? JFri???

You can have anything you want! ;-)

My ?’S were for you thought I was gone? I’ve been here all along!

Oh Dry, YUMMY! I’ll have pancakes and poached eggs and honey dew, and Earl Grey tea, please.

wait, was DRY asking where I was or commenting on my breakfast?

comin right up , marg!!

I am heading out guys!

night carmy, JFri, and marg

Dry,

is there another one of you?

Yeah, Carmy, I was confused by that, too! Are there 2 Dry’s?

JFri, I don’t think we can handle 2 Dry’s! LOLZ!!

Goodnight Dry! Peace and Love!

BBL, still making the rounds.

Wow, Carmy, what a night owl you are tonight! No, one Dry is enough! LOL Good night!

JFri, I took a late nap and it was a long one too. I’ll be hitting the hay soon. Goodnight! :)

Goodnight, all, sleep well. Tabby is doing fine, she is just busy in RL.

Good night, ladies!

Perfect breakfast dry. Everything is absolutely delightful.

Gmartin, the PETA woman is probably vegan, and won’t wear leather or any other animal product. Probably wears 100% organically grown cotton.

Good morning and Happy Thursday!! Tomorrow our office is closed, so I’ll be grabbing some breakfast this morning. Will bring grits, biscuits and gravy for the tribe.

Good morning, group. I brought you the all-time breakfast favorite, Bacon & Eggs! Enjoy! Buy the way, I read yesterday’s comic this AM and I notice below it (get this) 368 comments! Wow! That’s more than there is days in a year That’s gotta be a record! Or maybe tied with the comments on Pibgorn. I stop reading it, of course.

Josh good to see you again. 368 isn’t a record, I think we got over 400 the other day.

Morning Tribe. I had to stop checking for a long while, it was interferring with my work, life, etc.Missed seeing you people. Where is Joy? I can quit any time I want! Anybody care for some fresh peaches?

Good morning all!

My theory - the PETA lady only wears cotton & synthetic clothing made by underage workers in 3rd worldsweatshops.

doc, left you a message at overboard!

Let me clear up the “DRY” comment! I have a twin, didn’t ya’ all know that??? SNERK?? Actually I was asking if JFri was asking for where i was or commenting on my breakfast being Dry! Get It?

yea doc, think how much noise a TWO woman band could make!!!! BWWWAAAAAAHHHHH

Good Morning All!

donkeymom, good to see you!

doc, left you a message at housebroken!

JFri

Left a comment for you at Calvin! LOVED YOUR COMMENT OVER THERE!! ROFLMAO!

Good Morning all you Yappy Nuts. Dry, you are getting to be quite a little night owl. Thanks Dry & Josh for breakfast.

We had a great time last night with our guests, but preparation can take so much time. With our unbelievable weather, we once again had dinner on out deck. I like eating outdoors.

Hey all, I took Joy’s advice and have checked out “Joe Vanilla,” pretty neat little strip, go have a look see for yourselves!

morning cleo, well I go back to work next week, so I have to grap the glory while I can!! LOL I love to eat outdoors as well!

BBL

MORNING ALL!!! so i am playing catch up on my sleep game. i slept till 10:30 when my phone rang. :0( stupid phone. na it was okay it was a good friend just calling to check on me…. but like the wonderful marg said i am fine im just so bleeep busy now i can’t think straight.

i have bad news…. i have to get off for a while and get some house work done… im gone two days and it looks as if a tornado has passed in here. :0( guys! i swear. lol no offence, just the guys i live with right? lol bbl

DAAAAAAAHH Strip:

They enjoy lightly poking him with sarcastic jibes, but that only serves to harm the fluffy fella’s delicate psyche………

Just checking in. No Flog - just water fights! And what a fight!!! Hope everyone is feeling better and good jobs are found for those who were so affected. A big helping of energy to the Bank today!

Morning Tribe!

It a very Dry morning after our big water fight. LOL

Dry- I’d love some French toast with Vermount maple syrup, Canadian bacon, pineapple, melon, orange juice and Earl Grey tea this morning. Er, this afternoon.

Where does time go?

I was rooting for you Dry! Bet you didn’t think I was still up, did you? My sleeping habits are getting scre*wed here.

Morning JFri, Doc, Marg gmartin andcleo- and everyone else! I’m on page two and there’s just too many to name in one post.

donkymom- I don’t believe we’ve met. I’m Shikamoo, Shika for short. I do happen to be short as well.

Thanks for indulging my Canadian pride Tribe. I’m just grateful to the country who shaped who I am. I’d feel the same about whatever country I was born in. We Canadians don’t seem to appreciate our country the way you guys appreciate yours, so I like to sing her a love song sometimes.

Don’t worry- I won’t sing today! I promise.

Hum, hum, hum, huuummmmm♪♫♪♪

However, I can’t promise I won’t hum!

I guess everyone is off in Toonville or RL. I have to go out, so I’ll see you all much later.

Doc- You dry yet?

If it weren’t for johnny’s chivalry, I’d have pueumonia by now. LOL

So all you water blasters…have you managed to lose the water wrinkles?

It was nice of the ladies to clean up your laundry room for you doctortoon. They are always so thoughtful.

I’m putting a large deposit of good karma into the bank today. Any who need it are welcome to it.

Hey Tribe

I’ve traded the tank in for something to help with the drying off process. Check the avatar. LOL

Marge I like your avatar!

Shika You might be short, but you are 10ft tall in the sweet department.

Hey to all who have stopped by and to those I don’t know yet.

Doc Have a good nap!

Don’t anybody believe what Doc says! His place was Soaked floor to ceiling!!!

Cleo I came out fine in the water fight also except for explaining to my military “friends” why the tank is beginning to show surface rust!

cleo, I didn’t help doc clean up! I hit and run! LOL

Dry, chill out, sweet thang!

I’m off for the toonland M-G-R. BBL

Only for you Terry, cuz you know how to sweet talk a girl!!

I checked out the black box on the tank and it shows that the alarm was never violated so SOMEONES* story is all wet!!!!!!

((((((((((((((DRY)))))))))))))))

Terry, I told you I found away around that so it wouldn’t show anything. you would never know one way or the other!

Hey you don’t play fair!! Now since you hugged me I can’t give you a raspberry!

you guys are great. lol i need to figure out what you are all talking about, but its not going to happen right now. i need to clean the house and i have a kid right now. lol so it may be hard. lol

i learned a new trick….. all kids love mac and cheese. even baby ones and ones who dont like cheese. lol go me. i need to get off and do work bbl

Dry Dear, that is playing fair. I’m fair(ly) certain you’ll be nice after a hug as sweet as you!

JFri Yes that was an awesome comment for EMET.

Sometimes I’m afraid he doesn’t realize he’s got that kick me sign on his back. Each time I want to tell him he has another confusing comment that just makes me not want to tell him!

Hey Tabby

Back to toonland! BBL

Hey all, I got out of work early today. Now I get a nice long weekend for America’s Birthday. In fact, it is the first time in three years that I have had the 4th off. I shall thoroughly enjoy it. Tabby, it is all related to the water fight from yesterday in which I did not participate. Shika, you are welcome.

johnny, wow you hae a nice long weekend coming up! Great! Enjoy it!

Have a nice long weekend US tribe members!

Thanks Dry and DF, I will, and I shall start with a nap. BBL.

Hey johnny How ya doing. I always seem to miss when your here.

Hey DF You have a great one too!

okay you guys i need help. i am babysitting and they want Wall-e crafts to do and guess what, i cant find any on google. i need help he dosent want coloring sheets but puzzles or things like that mazes and such but it has to have Wall-e on it or building things. im going crazy here. help.

Terry - Glad you faired well in the water battle.

Dry - Good job on wash job at doctortoons.

I will be in and out as we are having dinner guests again tonight. Anyone who is interested in a vegetarian Indian dish is welcome to drop by. I am off to water plants, make spicy Indian tomato sauce and naan.

Cleo, I forget, what is naan? I know I know but it slips my mind at the moment!

Tabby, never heard of Wall-E. Do you mean Waldo?

Dry nope i mean wall-e its the little robot thing. http://images.google.com/images?hl=en&rlz=1T4GGLL_enUS328US329&q=wall%20e&um=1&ie=UTF-8&sa=N&tab=wi

Dry!! Slipped your mind??? ROFLMAO!!! SNERK!!!

Tabby, well he’s cute!!

JFri

#***:-P***

JFri

:-P

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

JFrii, you know that I am sitting here freaking out as you are sitting there laughing your A S S off!

Why does this always happen to me? Is there some computer god out there that doesn’t like me?

Dry - Naan is an East Indian flatbread. Traditionally it is cooked in a clay tandoori oven, butt my recipe is done in a cast iron skillet.

Dry - Naan is an East Indian flatbread. Traditionally it is cooked in a clay tandoori oven, butt my recipe is done in a cast iron skillet.

DRY :-P :-P :-P :-P :-P ROFLMAO!!!!!! SNERK!!!!

JFRI :-P :-P :-P :-P :-P :-P :-P

SO THERE!!!!!

CLEO, I’m in an ornary mood, so I’m sorry, but I just can’t resist this! ”Butt my recipe. ..” I won’t even go there, I’ll just point it out to you!! Snerk!

WOW, SHE FIGURED IT OUT!!!!

Dry, don’t pick on poor cleo!

NOTE TO TRIBE I will be scarce all weekend and almost invisible from 7/10 - 7/27, so no search parties……..Dry!!

*JFri *what do you mean, I figured it out! You’re lucky you’re not in front of me bub, I’d shake the sheiz out of you! I am doing nothing wrong!!!! It messes up on its own.

JFrI If you don’t stop telling me this is my fault, I wouldn’t have sent out a search party anyway,

so there!!:-P :-P :-P

Dry - Must have been a Freudian slip, as it is so warm, I wish my butt was bare.

JFri - Are you going on vacation?

Well that was nice, I need to do that more often.

donkeymom great to see you again. I think we have our whole GA crew on today :-)

cleo, It’s been raining here most of the day!

johnny, what was nice? I forget, did you take a nap?

johnnyd & Akenta - Hello, you two.

Dry - You’d never believe this was the PNW. Less than 3/10 of an inch of rain last month.

Hey Akenta and johnnyD

Dry

Looks like ol’ JFri has got you razzled.

Hey Cleo!!!

Dry :-(

Terry -How are you feeling today?

Hi to everyone in the tribe. Hope everyone is doing well. Will make a deposit in the bank, just in case…

Terry, not to worry! JFri and I have an ongoing razz battle! We are however, the best of buds, aren’t we JFri?

Hi Akenta, got a long weekend coming up huh?

Dry sure is. Hoping to relax and play games. Maybe even help out in a water fight or two.

Hi Cleo, Akenta, and Terry! Cripes, Cleo, we got more rain than that today, and the summer months are supposed to be the dry ones. Dry, yes I did take a nap, now I am going to wander off for some food, bbl.

Dry,

yes, we are good buds! cleo, not exactly a vacation but sort of…….I’ll still be answering calls & e-mails for work.

We had a 40 + degree swing in temp today…started at 52, now at 90 something!

Akenta, that would be fun to have you on board for a water battle! That was hilarious the last time!

Well my vacation is winding down, but I got more work done than I thought I would and still found some time to relax!

dry I got to see the video of it - was very entertaining.

Akenta, I wish we had a video!! We could have all made millions on the best comedy show of all time!!! LOL

I’m sitting here after midnight, telling my son he can get online soon to play his game, I keep bursting out laughing to the point I’m losing it and he keeps coming in to see if his mother has lost her mind!

JFri- Our temps are a little more comfortable, for me anyways. Today started out at 49 and got to 72. It’s cooler here on the lake then in town and we always have a wind off the water.

Oh I shouldn’t have said that out loud! I just set myself up for a zinger from

JFri

MIND, DRY?? WHAT MIND??? SNERK!!!!

ZIIIIIIIINNNNNGGGGGGGGG!!!!

Weather here hasn’t changed recently, weird I know. Started the week cold and rainy, and here is the weekend- cold and rainy.

Just looked at the temp reading outside under the eaves

101

Jolly Roger is now up! Rum & Cokes being served on the deck at cleo’s place! (Too friggin’ HOT here!) Sorry, cleo but you shouldn’t have bragged about your great weather!!

I think we drove hymenoxis off :-( I saw he posted somewhere today but he hasn’t been here!

So, JFri how’s things?

Ohhhh, not bad. How about you, JFri?

Well, to tell the truth it is* beastly *hot here, JFri!

Do tell, JFri! (See what happens when I get bored or lonely people????)

Quite so, JFri, quite so! Been on safari lately, JFri?

Oh, yes, indeed! Just last week I bagged an elephant in my pajamas! How he got into them, I’ll never know!!

Oh dear, the sound of silence and the heat have driven our friend batty. JFri, we need you here in reality.

JFri I think the heat fried what is left of your mind! LOL

I know how you feel, don’t I Mua? When everyone goes outside to play, leaving me, myself, and Mua (Terry, are you reading this?), I just talk to the most intelligent of the three. Which, of course, is Mua.

Hi johnny- That’s what I say! You are smart to take a nap when you can BTW. It’s sweet in the summer time, isn’t it?

Alright, where did all these posts come from??? I was only gone 10 minutes!!!

I just popped in briefly while my dinner was heating. It’s ready now.

Roast pork, baby carrots and sweet corn and rice n’ black-eyed peas. I’m hungry!

BBL

JFRI, ROFLMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!

you should be bored more often! :-D

And while I still have the magic in my fingers:

WAKE UP DOC!

Next visit will be from me and my evil twin!! BWWAAHHH! And the two woman band!

Man here’s a song I haven’t heard in ages “Fresh” by Kool and the Gang! THAT WAS A GOOD SONG!

Drat I missed Shika, well, enjoy your dinner. Summer time naps would be nice outdoors, but it is too wet and that makes it chilly outside. In time though…

johnny, we’ve had more rain and cool than heat and sun. We had a week in early spring that was gorgeous, 80’s and humid! Loved it! I love summer and I love the heat and humidity! I would love some of JFri’s temps.!

I relish the 60’s, but it would be nice to see the sun every so often. I do not like the humidity, it makes too hard to play sports.

JFri =J Fried.

I will try to post a few more times. My cooking is done, my watering is ongoing and dinner guests could arrive anytime. If i can come back I will, if not carry on. As, if that were ever an issue.

Have fun tonight Cleo!

I’m back johnny, for now. I like naps indoors or out. I have a sound machine that sounds like waves lapping on a dock. Close the curtains, close my eyes and drift off to sleep with a breeze blowing in the window- if I’m lucky. AAHHH.

Outdoors, nothing beats a hammock. Where I garden- they have a hammock and pool in an oak and willow and maple tree shaded back yard. Bliss.

That does sound very nice, my goal is to someday own a house on Lake Michigan. Then I won’t need a sound machine.

I suppose with all my comments, I might as well acknowledge this fine strip: Give it a rest lady!

Hi Dry! Poor JFri can’t take the heat, I’m afraid. I don’t mind the heat either, as long as I’m dressed for it. It’s been cool and rainy this week though. Last night was almost chilly with the window open.

And, NO, Doc and JFri, my place wasn’t wet! If you remember, I scotchguarded everything so the water ran off.

But that wasn’t the case of my fellow tenants, who are still looking for you. I don’t even want to mention what they said they’d do when they find you too.

You too cleo- You diverted Niagra Falls back, so they blame you.

And Terry.

But not johnny, who just watched. =D

johnny; My cousin just moved to Minnestota. Which lake is that on? I know he’s close to the Canadian border. He’s Canadian, but married an American, and he just became an American citizen last year, age 59.

I have to say this, I only nap when I am sick! I know a lot of people like to nap and even a 30 min nap recharges their batteries, but I hate to take naps. I just feel like that is wasting my life away!

uhhhhhhh, cleo???? wait for it……..

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

I have two Canadian cousins (they are brother and sister) who moved to the States in their teens with their parents. It’s funny to me to hear their American accents. Their other two siblings, a brother and sister, stayed in Canada. But they also have a slight accent from staying in Cleveland in their earlier years.

Shika?? Let ‘em come! I have a nice surprise for them! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F6KYK16zjb4 (converted to fire water balloons, of course!)

Well, what can I say, I am a pacifist… sometimes… Minnesota is partially touching Lake Superior. Lake Michigan is a smaller more placid lake that borders Wisconsin and, oddly enough, Michigan.

Dry Different strokes for different folks. I don’t nap every day, but when I do, it’s often on a Sunday, which some how seems like a good day to rest. I grew up with parents who napped on Sunday.

I’m also part of a contemplative group that practices a rhythm in life of rest and movement. It just suits my personality.

But I like people with high energy like yourself. It takes all kinds to mke the world go around!

johnnyd -Thanks, I intend to have fun. I got all my cooking done, now my wife takes over.

Dry - You’re delusional. I saw Niagara Falls strike. It splashed those Canadians hard.

JFri- back at you buddy.

:-P

I can’t nap. I feel miserable when I wake up.

cleo You always mix me up with someone else. Dry has a double- but I’m not it. LOL!

johnny Go figure! Michigan is actually on Lake Michigan. Where’s Lake Minnesota? LOL!

Ontario is on Lake Ontario! I see a pattern here. So Erie is…

Shika - I do not know why I do that, but you are right. I thought Dry made that comment. Sorry.

Shika, what do you mean double butt? For a lady my age, my butt ain’t bad, kiddo!

Shika - I see a little of Niagara Falls dripping down your back. It is quite becoming actually.

HEY DOC!!

I should figured that one out myself. Thanks for straightening me out. I guess that your dream is something like a lot of people, myself included who dream of owning property on Georgian Bay. That’s the closest to the sound of the sea- any of the Great Lakes. We used to have a cottage up there, but mom sold it a few years ago.

Don’t know if there is a lake Minnesota, but here is an interesting one: Michigan City is in Indiana… Go figure.

Dry That’s “double-but” you silly! Your butt must be very good, considering Doc’s leers last night, LOL!

Cleo: I don’t know whether to thank you for that last remark, or to clobber you! Hec*k! I’ll do both!

THANKS!……….BONK!

cleo- For someone who wears no clothes, you sure change alot. Nice pose. You’ve tanned.

Get your eyeballs back in their sockets. Doc!

johnny I was kidding about Lake Minnesota, but there likely is one.

My cousin lived in Huntington, Indianna before he moved to Minessota. His wife’s name is Joy BTW.

Hello Everyone! I just mowed my front lawn and 5 minutes after I finished, Kaboom! It started raining.

DOC Who do you think you are, King Leer?

Dry Get your double br*ass band out here! (Pardon me, I mean, Please.)

Hi carmy That’s telling Doc!

Good timing carmy! I’m glad you came inside before it started.

Want a celery stalk, Doc?

Dry, where did you go?

Stop it Doc! You won’t like it when I’m angry!

Rooaaaaarrrrrrrr

Well, I must step out for a bit. Doc, you behave! Hi, Carmy, nice timing with the mowing.

Ask Dry if you rubbed her the right way, Doc.

I used johnny’s towel, remember? Knowing you, you used a hand towel to dry Dry! LOL

Carmy Don’t leave me alone with Doc, okay?

Bye johnny. Stay cool and dry!

Shika - Since I wear as little as possible. I have a tan in April. Everyone always comments on it. Company just pulled up the driveway. Sayonara Le Tribe.

*Be careful Doc! Hell hath no fury like Carmy scorned!! *

Sayonara cleo, obi-san.

Shika, you just have to know how to handle doc! It’s not a skill that is learned overnight! (Did I say that out loud? Oh dear!)

See ya Cleo! Have a nice time, bring back some leftovers.

hi all im here for a little while. whats going on?

Doc, I knew you would like those towels.

Shika, I hate that song! Think of another one.

Doc I had to check out The Dinette Set before replying.

:-P!!!!

Did anybody notice hell wasn’t bleeped in my last post?!

Carmy, I agree!

Shika, LOSE THAT FREAKIN’ SONG!!

Thank you Dry!

Doc, you got that, you have been warned!!! Rrrrrrrrrrr. Can you see my jaw clenching?

or this one dry. lol go you. so shika are you scared of doc? im so lost still need to go read the other things.

I notce that Fred is languishing in a coffee can. I left a comment on it there. I liked the candle holder.

Those ladies towels are hankies!

Hi Tabby!

Shika, duh?? LOL

Golly Dry and carm! don’t get your bloomers in a knot over it! I deleted the post, okay? LOL

How about ♪♫♪In the jungle, the quiet jungle, the lion sleeps tonight?♪♫♪

I have a feeling you’ll both hate that too, but it’s staying. Dry isn’t the only one in an ornary mood tonight, hee-hee.

Flashback That song reminded me of another one. I think it’s called “Leave Me Alone” by Helen Reddy. When I would get in a bad mood, my mom would start singing that song. Made be totally bonkers!!

Dry What’s the “duh” for? The comment about the hankies? LOL I think I got the joke. The men’s towels are mercifully large. LOL

im hungry feed me. ;0(

HI CAMRY, dry and shika.

sorry caps got turned on and did not know it till i fin typing carmy her name is not in bold bc i love her more or anything like that it just happened. :D

Oh, I forgot to mention that she would ask me what was wrong and I would tell her, “nothing, just leave me alone!” THEN, she would start singing.

Shika, it’s not our fault that you’re picking played out songs. Pick something lively and pretty.

carmy I’d hate that too! Nothing worse than a mother singing when you’re mad at something. Especially that song.

Sorry to disappoint Shika, I love the “Lion Sleeps Tonight”! One of my faves!

carmy I worked 27 years in malls. what else do I know but mall music? LOL I don’t listen to music at home because of the mall music. I listen to classical, West Indian or whatever.

Tabby, we got some meatloaf, broccoli, mac & cheese. Shall I fix you a plate and send it over?

Shika, I was going to suggest, “I Feel Pretty.” but I like “There’s Gonna Be A Rumble Tonight!”

Dry I can’t win. ;-)

tabby I’ve got food! What do you want?

TABBY?

carmy yes food is good fill up the plate. please.

i like the lion sleeps tongiht and i feel pretty.

i got a cut on my finger it hurts dont know what happened and i have a head ache. going find dad to see if we can eat and then im going to go for a walk… hopefuly. i will be back later.

carmy I know “I feel Pretty” but not “there’s going to be a rumble tonight” Are both from Westside Story? I loved that play/movie.

Shika, I worked at the mall too, but all I heard was muzak. Then that song, “Short People” came out and the short little manager across the aisle played it to DEATH! I was SO tempted to break her stereo.

Shika, yes, it’s from the same movie. The guys sing it.

Tabby, here’s your dinner plate.

BBL

carmy The last mall I worked at played mostly Classical music. I was the only one in the store who liked it. But when they brought music into the store, we played everything, and I just am not into loud music of any kind- especially all day, every day.

But when I do like a song, I love to sing or hum it- quietly to myself.

I’m a dork, I know! LOL That’s also Little Old Lady by the way.

Bye carmy and doc and who ever else has left.

BBL

Thanks for the smile in my mailbox CARMY !! you are sweet !!!

Shika - I will protect you from doctortoon. I am sweet, innocent and respect your privacy.

cleo, sweet, innocent ????? We are talking about the guy who ran around naked in the car wash, are we not?? ROFLMAO

You’re welcome, Owlsly!

BBL around 12M EST if anybody will be here!

Have a good night doc! Hope RL is well!

Dry Hell was not bleeped in your post because it was part of a well-known quote. At least, I’m assuming that. Maybe it depends on who’s manning the comments at the time.

Heck, that blows my theory!

Hey, you guys asleep at the post? bleeep it all, where’s my bleeep? LOL

cleo You are so sweet. But it’s alright. Really- I’ll just take my chances by myself! =D

But if you ever are around when we have a water fight, I’ll reconsider as long as you offer me a BIG fluffy towel, and kepp your eyes averted.

Like THAT will happen! LOL

Hi Owlsley. Welcome to the Yappy Nuts room. Always good to see you.

CONGRATULATIONS MARGUERITEM! I left a note on Frog Applause too. Great work.

It’s 11:00p.m. here Dry. but I think I’m Central, if there is such a thing.

I’m about to wind down for the night. Notice I didn’t say sign off, so don’t talk about me behind my back- yet!

carmy? I’m doing dishes, if you were wondering. Just, you know, letting you know where I am….

Just looking at that last bleeping post of mine. If I didn’t know any better, I’d say someone is having fun here tonight. Hmm?

Can I bleeep my socks? When hell freezes over? The heck, you say!

LOL!

You wish Doc, you wish!

I’m doing my dishes, and then getting to bed. What time do you go to work, so I know when it’s safe to relax?

Shika, what were you trying to say? Those last few posts look inappropriate. lol

Shikamoo said, about 3 lazy, hazy, crazy hours ago

“johnny; My cousin just moved to Minnestota. Which lake is that on? I know he’s close to the Canadian border. He’s Canadian, but married an American, and he just became an American citizen last year, age 59.”

Yes, Minnesota is on Lake Superior, but it also has 10,000 or so lakes (according ot Wikipedia, 11,842 lakes of at least 10 acres (about 4 hectare). So when I read your question about which lake that’s on, I almost ROLF.

okay im back… just to say goodnight. sorry guys im tired and had a long night. see you all tomorrow. peace and love all.

Shika, washing dishes, was that a hint? It’s not my dishwashing night, but I can try to sneak your dishes in with ours. Hopefully #1 daughter won’t notice but, if she does, I don’t know you.

Shika - You are perfectly safe with doctortooon. If you feel at all nervous, I can help you out.

Goodnight Tabby! I hope you enjoyed the food I sent to you. Peace & Love!!

carmy My dishes are done now, except for drying. Doc’s good at drying, but I certainly won’t ask him! Can I borrow a big fan to dry them? LOL

bmonk, Michigan has more lakes than Minnesota, but we already had the Great Lakes State nickname, so we gave them Land of 10,000 lakes. Good night Tabby. Cleo, says the guy with all the naked avatars…

johnny Which posts do you mean? If referring to those directed to Doc- I wnt to know when it is safe to put my guard down to go to sleep. Of course, asking him is like asking a General for the other side what his battle plans are. LOL

Don’t worry carmy- I’;m just kidding about the dishes. I just like company when I’m working.

Also, can you guess which lake Superior, WI is on?

Other trivial facts of interest (well, to me at least):

The ocean ports furthest inland in the world are Superior, WI and Duluth, MN.

The total shoreline of the Minnesota lakes gives the state more shore than California, Florida, and Hawaii combined.

If Michigan and Huron are considered one lake, then it is the largest freshwater lake in area in the world. If they are two, then they are forth and third respectively, and Superior is the biggest.

The largest volume of fresh water is Lake Baikal in Russia; the second is Lake Tanganyika in Africa, then comes Superior.

Lake Baikal is so deep that its deepest point is below sea level.

Good night everyone!!

bmonk Just over 11,000 lakes? Pish! Georgian Bay has over *30,000 Islands!

Well, I guess I’ll never figure out where my cousin lives until I get his new address. He just said it was on a lake. He didn’t tell us there were over 10,000 bleeeping lakes!

Well doc, I’ve got a whole rack of cute little dishes to dry! Here, catch!

Good night Akenta.

Good night Tabbylynn! Have a good sleep. sorry your days and nights are so long. We miss you.

@johnnydoc, near as ‘net research tells, Michigan claims 11037 lakes; Minnesota 11,842. On the other hand, Michigan touches four of the five Great Lakes; Minnesota only one. Gripping hand, Alaska claims some 3 million lakes.

Good night Akenta Have a good night at work Doc. You’ll get through it! Shika, I mean the posts at the top of the page with all the bleeps in them.

Thanks Doc. (Sweep, sweep, sweep) I should have known better.

Sure cleo I feel MUCH safer now. ;-)

I know I can trust you Doc, and cleo too. After all, this is just a computer, not a transportation machine.

Right?

Just teasing you. I’ve got Mua here to growl at anyone who try to splash me.

@Shika, “Why keep a dog and bark for yourself?”

Ancient proverb I remember from some long-ago read work of fiction.

Thanks for the info bmonk, Minnesota can have their lakes, we got plenty, and Alaska has A LOT!

Time for bed. I’m really not making any sense here, and that’s saying a lot. so you don’t need to ziinng me, okay?

Good night Doc, Cleo, johnny and bmonk- anyone left?

Peace and #♥♥♥

You’ll just have to imagine those are red hearts, luv.

Good night Shika.

jdoc, yeah, Alaska is like that.

Story goes that when Alaska was applying to be a state, the Texas congressional delegation complained because they wouldn’t be number 1 in area anymore.

Alaska delegate replied that had a simple solution: split Alaksa in two, and Texas could be no. 3

No more was heard from Texas against the statehood of Alsaka.

bmonk You just don’t want me to sleep, do you?

!. Mua is a cat. He growls, he doesn’t hiss. Don’t ask why.

2Are you saying I am barking?

GRRR. I’m leaving. I expect a reply tomorrow. I know you’ll have one. :-)

OPPs Sorry johnny- can’t have you wondering why I started bleeeeping. If you read the posts on the previous page, you’ll see a reference or two to hell that wasn’t bleeped. so I tested the waters with hell, heck, and darn. Only darn was bleeeeped. Hence the funny looking sentences.

Small things amuse small minds, I guess. LOL

OUCH!!! POOF KA-POW! POOF!

nyah! nyah!nyah!

No, but like any wisdom saying, you must adapt it to your own circumstances. For you, it should say, “Why keep a cat and hiss and spit and growl for yourself?”

On the other hand, it sometimes is fun to hiss and growl like a cat, especially when some animal deserves it. On the other other hand, I don’t have a cat (or a dog either), so I am justified in barking or howling or hissing or any other dang-blasted sound I care to make.

So what if Alaska is bigger in area? Texas is like a whole other country. Goodnight All! I might be back, but most likely I won’t.

Ah that explains it- HEY wait are you saying I have a small mind? I have half a mind to be angry with you… as soon as I find the other half, then you’ll get it. lol.

Company has left and now it is movie time. You ladies are all looking hot. And by hot, I mean sexy, not all steamed up… Ooh, I find that hot.

bmonk, I’m going to jump to the bottom here, so I may be asking a question that was already asked, but didn’t the Edmond Fitzgerald sink in Lake Superior? You know, the event was made famous by Gordon Lightfoots ballad.

And on that happy note, I am off to bed. Good night all!

Yes, if I recall, it was not too far from port when it sank. 13 miles?

Back when the politicians from around Lake Champlain were petitioning for Great Lake status for that lake, some wags from the real Great Lakes offered to sell an ore boat to the locals around Champlain, which they could then use as a bridge!

I don’t know how far it was from port, and I could be wrong, but I don’t think they ever found the wreckage, which seemed strange to me, since it was a lake, yeah a big one but still? I’m not familiar with what you’re saying in your 2nd paragraph.

cleo, if you’re that HOT, you and your Mrs. should have a LOVELY movie night!! wink ;-D

Dry, I don’t remember too well, but 10 or 20 years back, some pols from New York and Vermont wanted to get Great Lake status for Lake Champlain on their border. It grants some relief from tarriffs and the like, I think.

Anyway, the pols from the real Great Lakes, in which you can run boats like the Edmund Fitzgerald, were making the point that Lake Champlain is a bit smaller and (especially) narrower than even Erie or Ontario.

I think I hear my bed calling. It’s starting to get quite insistent even!

299 posts? I have to make it at least an even 300. Now to read today’s comments :-)
