325 Grand?! Woo Hoo, Dusty is buying all of us breakfast!

Good Morning Tribe!

Good Morning/Late Evening Tribe!

Great breakfast, Woodeye.

I’ll have scrambled eggs and a bloody mary. Thank you very much!

Good Morning WoodEye! Sorry, we must have cross posted. We’ll let Dusty buy us breakfast another time.

Good Morning Marg!

HI MARG!

Man they got ripped off! Dusty, for shame on you dude!

WoodEye, I’ll have the french toast and the bacon if it’s turkey bacon. Got Milk? Strawberry milk would be nice.

Bless you Woodeye! I so did NOT want to make breakfast two days in a row! I’ll take whatever, I’m hungry man!

Hi Carmy, girlfriend!

Carmy Of course you can have turkey bacon, and we can have turkey sausage too! And we have all flavors of milk.

Oops - left on the last page. Thanks for breakfast Woodeye, I’ll have the french toast, bacon and coffee, of course.

Hola Dry! Thank you again, WoodEye! You are too kind!

Good Morning, ALL!

Woodeye, what a great breakfast! I’ll have french toast and turkey bacon and a bloody mary.

Good morning Dawn.

Good Night Tribe

P&L

G’night all.

Goodnight from me, too!

Good morning and Happy Friday!! woodeye thanks for breakfast.

Good Morning Tribe

Good Morning, Tribe

G’Morning, Grog! Man, it seems like sunrise came earlier this morning.

It’s getting earlier every morning, Lonewolf. It was a very pretty drive into work this morning, topped of with the usual light Friday rush hour.

Oh, I just love the bright sun now a days, Grog! Before long, I’ll be complaining that it’s too warm. I can’t wait!

Lonewolf, I bite my tongue when it comes to complaining about summer heat. I think about how much I loathe winter. The cold bothers me a lot more than the heat. Also, with summer comes the longer daylight hours that I like, too.

Good Morning, Doctor Toon

Good Morning Doc

Grog, as we get older, the cold bothers the body more. Like I said, before long, it’s Texas, here I come!

The long days are great for me because I get more done with car repairs in the summer!

Glad your night went well, Doc. Enjoy the night off!

GROG You gave me a great revelation. People hate sunrise cause they are driving TO work and love sunset cause they are driving FROM work. Poets be damned.

Good morning TRIBE! Breakfast looks so good that I’ll break my diet.

Lewreader, Then why does it seem to me that everyone is in a hurry to get to work, but not in such a big hurry to get home? They must all have little Calvin’s running round the house! It always takes me much longer to get home.

You’ve got me stumped on that one, Grog. Maybe running late in the morning, but I can’t explain after work. I was always in a hurry to get home after work!

Good Morning Lewreader!

I think it’s because there a bunch of people driving slowly, yapping on their cell phones on the way home. I don’t know why they can’t make these calls from their office.

Howdy Yappers! Lewreader, are you saying that the workers are vampires? Doc, I saw OBH earlier, Ruthie’s a trip. Grog, or wait until they get home.

In Houston, Carmy? That’s too long a wait. I don’t do more than 10 1/2 hour days unless I have to.

Morning all!

I forget who said it, but I liked the line: “It’s not the commute to work that I mind so much as the 8 hour wait for the ride home…”

To all those that have arrived……Good Morning!

I’m off for at least the rest of the morning. Catch y’all hopefully early this afternoon. P&L

Good Morning All.

Yep Courtney Love would be the one interested in Dusty’s “talent”.

Good Morning DFrog! Grog, I meant that the people should wait until they get home to make their calls, instead of from their cars on the ride home.

Good Morning, Digital Frog, Carmy & cleo

Hello Grog.

I had a busy day yesterday. I am hoping to be much more sluglike today.

Good Morning Cleo! No doubt about Courtney ;-)

Hey, the week-end is almost upon us, cleo.

Cleo, I was really busy yesterday too. I had to take a long nap to recover from it. I don’t have too much to do today, YEA!

Good Morning Carmy & Doc.

At least it is going to be another sunny day here.

Grog, yes the weekend. It is now starting to mean something to me. Ever since my wife decided to go to work, it is the two days where I know she will not have to leave, but… that also means that she is home to think up projects.

Oh, no! Not the job jar, cleo!

Yed Grog and it’s a seemingly bottomless jar too.

Doc, if your view resembles the last couple of Yenny cartoons, I am thinking it must be tough to concentrate on typing.

Ahem! You’re bordering on TMI, Doc.

Good morning folks. Whoever said Happy Friday, I concur. I simply cannot wait for this weekend. I like my job, but …well, Happy Friday :-)

My weekend starts every Friday! Yeah! And it’s a beautiful day, supposed to reach 50 tmr. and Sunday! Still have some snow in my yard, but it is disappearing quickly.

Yes Doc really, what Carmy said, LOL!

Thank you, Doc Good Morning MisngNOLA and Dry!

Good Morning Everyone!

Doc T new message at Fort Knox.

I don’t have time to visit this morning so:

Have a Good Day, Lot’s of Luv

Good morning again, Doc! And I guess I missed MisngNOLA and Cleo. and Grog

Good morning LuvH8 & Dry (Fellow baby)

Hi Grog! I’ll catch up with you yappy nuts later, I’ve got some errands to do.

Yes Doc, distracted! :-)

HEY THERE FELLOW BABY!

Hi Carmy (again?)

Maybe, Doctor Toon. I’m sure I said hello to Carmy a little earlier

Yup, I did.

And good morning to you as well Dry.

hi DocT, Grog, Dry, & Carmy (it seems to me that’s who is here at the moment.) looking at doing a fly through the toons so i won’t be saying much. it’s too busy a place for me to keep notes on who’s here - i prefer to wing it anyway. as for the strip, 325 G’s to buy a sweaty dog collar is God’s way of saying you have too much money.

Hello Grog & Doc T

hi LuvH8

Cleo we don’t count to UncleWhy. (fake crying)

Foozle It! Your greeting posted before my fake crying! How are you UncleWhy?

Hello yyyguy and hello (again), LuvH8

I know! I know! I am supposed to be cleaning. Blechy! Blechy! Blechy!

i’m okay, LuvH8 and missed cleo by accident (and your post said something about leaving so i didn’t think you were still here to say “hi” to).

Yes, I wasn’t supposed to be here to greet.

I just wrote a letter to GoComics asking them to consider deleting comments where people use technical terms (psychotic, psychological problems, mental illness, bipolar, depression, schizophrenic, etc) to insult others. I really don’t like seeing that, and mental illness is a recognized disability for some. So please flag those comments, if you don’t mind. (Also, please don’t make those comments because I really don’t want to flag people I like.)

Welcome Back Doc!

It would appear, Doctor Toon that we are not on an equal playing field. JAD appears to be given a lot of lattitude, which is another good reason not to mess with him other than to flag him where appropriate.

Well, it’s Friday and I’ve got to get out from behind these 4 walls. I’m going out for lunch today.

BBS

the clock on the wall behind me says i’m late (if my watch hadn’t stopped i’d have noticed sooner) so it’s time for me to bid adieu. have a good day Tribe

I didn’t know CA_QUERCOS had lost his/her account. I don’t read all the comment sections, I know that one person at least makes worse comments on a comic I don’t comment on. If anyone sees a comment that needs multiple flaggers I am fine with checking out the comment section for myself (although we may just want to point out the comic title not the offender/s) I am mainly concerning myself with people who use the technical terms for mental illness because sometimes people don’t mean to offend when they use the other terms. BTW you might want to see C & H.

Good afternoon, tribe. TGIF!!!

I don’t read every comic, but if you see someone who insults you, let me know and I’ll flag it too.

Hello & Thank you Saucy1121

I am still planning on skipping over those people whose comments regularly offend me, because I want to enjoy the comments and not what was it someone said, “play mommy”.

Prejudice is a big deal to me though, so I don’t want to ignore it. Especially for the mental illness, because so many people seem to think it is okay. 90% of all successful suicides are committed by people with mental illness. I plan to slip in facts periodically to educate ( :

Bye UncleWhy & Grog!

Doc T - Some days I only read short comments unless it is by someone I ‘know’ fairly well. And sometimes I only read comments by people I like. But if I wanted to go on a flagging parade all I would have to do is follow the comments of the people who are often offensive and see who they compliment. LOL!

This guy comes home from work one day to find his dog with the neighbor’s pet rabbit in his mouth. The rabbit is very dead and the guy panics. He thinks the neighbors are going to hate him forever, so he takes the dirty, chewed-up rabbit into the house, gives it a bath, blow-dries its fur, and puts the rabbit back into the cage at the neighbor’s house, hoping that they will think it died of natural causes.

A few days later, the neighbor is outside and asks the guy, “Did you hear that Fluffy died?”

The guy stumbles around and says, “Um.. no.. um.. what happened?”

The neighbor replies, “We just found him dead in his cage one day, but the weird thing is that the day after we buried him we went outside and someone had dug him up, gave him a bath and put him back into the cage. There must be some real sick people out there!”

Oh no offense meant to Bunnyface, I hope it wasn’t one of your relatives.

Lot’s of Luv!

I will clean. I will clean. I will clean.

Have a Good Weekend Everyone!

A quiet work day for me. A nice change going into the weekend. cleo, I’m serving Bookers in 45 minutes!!

Hola JFri!

I always skip those long posts because to me it’s just blah, blah, blah.

Hi, Carmy!!

I hear you on that. Long usually equals BORING!!

HI JFRI! HI CARMY!

Hi Dry! Have a nice Friday! Weekends are not much different than the rest of the week for me.

Hi Doc Say hi to Wildcheetah for me

To GrandmaT too

Hi to everyone else, lurking or not, as long as you are friendly.

Sorry I missed you Hymenoxsis!

Hi, Shika!

Hi JFri

What’s new?

Not too much. Sounds like you are running true to form…

BUSY!!!

JFri That’s not going to change anytime soon. Busy is what my life is at the moment. I miss hanging out with the Tribe, but I do my best to keep in touch.

Well, you’d better, Ms. Shika!!

Hi Shika! I was here and then I wasn’t. I had to pick up the youngest from school.

Carmy, I’m going out on a limb and predicting you picked her up for the last time this week!! Am I psycho or what??

JFri, you most definitely are psycho. You might have ESPN too!!

Carmy, you made me

SNERK!!

Carmy Magic! Here I am. Here, I’m not! lol

JFri You are psycho in a nice way. Pyschic too. :-)

Well, I’m finally back. It wasn’t a long lunch. We’re having some server problems so I can disappear again at any time.

Yea! Success!!

Say Mr. Wayne You all what I call a fine gentleman too. Thankee!

Grog Your waiters are giving you problems? What kind of restaurant did you go to?

Hi, Grog!! What’s shakin’?? Thanks, Shika!! Oh, yeah, psychic!!

Shika! you came back! It’s like presto-chango!!

The computer servers at my office. When they go down, we lose Outlook and internet access.

Good afternoon all

Hey there, Grog

Hi Shika!

Hi JFri & Shikamoo & Carmy (yet again)

Good afternoon Shika, JFri, Carmy, and Grog!

When did BT become a lecture class?

Hello Lonewolf. I figured you were lurching around here somewhere. I just saw a recent post elsewhere.

Grog, do they let you all go home then? They let us leave the building I worked in when I was in Chicago because the Chicago River was leaking into the lower level of the street.

So you regret stopping by the “Dinette Set” today, Lonewolf? Heheh!

I see you caught that, Grog. LOL

I’ve been working on the computer since I got done with that auto appt this AM.

Grog, you’re making me think that when you say “Hi” to me it’s like “Hello Newman!” Say it isn’t so!

No, we’re still here, Carmy. But they let us go a few weeks ago when there was a chemical leek here. The wind was blowing the right direction and they let us go right about my normmal quitting time. If I hadn’t taken that opportunity, my next chance to leave would have been when they signaled the “All Clear”, which was somewhere between 2 and 4 AM from what I was told.

Hi Carmy. When I reappear, I’m just being Shika. With you, it is magic! lol

Hi Dry! I am just about to run out to run some errands and then run back and do some homework.

Who says TGIF? LOL

Grog I like my leeks to be natural. I’d go home if they gave me a chemical leek too.

:-D

Hi, Dry!! I was munching my lunch!

BBL

It was the 3rd greeting today, Carmy. You sort of have to follow the post pattern since the first time around the 7AM hour, I think - perhaps a little later. Sort of amusing, really.

I love Leeks! Roasted with butter, or cooked in soup, or, … . I just like leeks!

Dry, I quit listening to lectures when I graduated!!

Grog, I know, I thought it was amusing too. hee hee!!

I’ll BBL too, I have to make some bread and it’s not the spending kind.

Did I get my leeks and leaks mixed up?

Grog, you’ve got leaky leeks???

Uh yeah, it’s getting to be a real problem. Everything leaks down here.

What cha’ having for lunch JFri?

I don’t know Dr. Fever. Did you get your leaks/leeks mixed up? :-)

As long as they aren’t squeaky, leaky leeks!!

SNORT!! (instead of a SNERK)

I’m sorry I missed you, yguy!

Being good…..had a grilled cheese semmich & tomater soup.

OK,Maybe I should join Venus in peeling some potatoes.

Grog, as long as you don’t do a live turkey drop!!

Yea, Gordan! That would be helpful! And yes, I know to which episode you are referring.

JFri do you dip your semmich in your tomater soup?

Hey we all make mistakes!

But now you know why Les is a three-time winner of the Silver Sow. What a field reporter!

Dry, why else would you have the tomater soup??

Grog, I was always partial to Jennifer!! What a …..never mind!!

JFri yes we know . . Jennifer.

Well, I agree JFri, with your method of eating tomater soup, but another good way is with OYSTER crackers! Yes Sir!

Grog you beat me! When I came back I was going to post something about the Silver Sow!. :-P

But, Dry, with oyster crackers I can’t whistle at Jennifer!!

SNERK!!!

Yeah, JFri, but as a tandem, Johnny & Bailey after the failed Watergate attempt to get Jennifer’s nude photos.

SNORT!!!

*JFri that would a sight to see! LOL!

Hah! I saw the dead bunny story. It was funny when they did it on Dickie Roberts. Remember, “demon rabbitt.” That was hilarious. That was the same lady from Planes, Trains and Automobiles. She’s nutty. Okay, now I have to say it, “those aren’t pillows!”

You want to see JFri whistling with crackers in his mouth? You better stay far enough away then.

Grog ROFLMAO! And of course, Herb failed a few times too, trying to get Jennifer to go out with him! And she went out with Les to the Silver Sow awards! Poor Herb!

Yeah, Bailey Quarters wasn’t hard on the eyes, either!

*Carmy, I believe you are talking about Edie McGlurg, Lucille on WKRP and the reservations clerk in P, T, and A. What a laugh riot, still is. And I’ve seen it multiple times. Finally own it!

Dry, do you remember when Herb was giving Les pointers and was trying his moves on Jennifer for Les’ bennefit? “Why not go for a little gusto?” She responded “I don’t go with ‘little gustos’, Herb”

Yea, I do!

JFri where’s my sammixh and tomater soup?

Oh yeah, Dry! That’s the lady, Edie McGlurg, thanks!

Grog remember the episode with Hoyt Axton where Johnny and Jennifer pretend to be married?

Vaguely. I haven’t seen that one in a very long time.

Well I guess I’ll have to start rooting through the tribal refrigerator for some food, SINCE JFRI WON’T FEED ME!!!

I hope Doc has some stuffed peppers in here somewhere!

What about “Little Ed”, the wrastlin’ preacher?

Dry, look for some ice cream too.

Dry, you didn’t order any! Here you go! Watch the soup, it’s hot!

About time, JFri! I could have withered away to a frail scrawny little thing waiting for you!

Carmy I found this big container of vanilla, and another of Pocono Paws!

Hey, I just found out, I’m not the only one who snorts. BIG PINK MOM does it, too. Is she Miss Piggy in disguise?

With that, I’m packing it in from the day job for the week-end. Catch y’all later.

Shoot, it has been such a beautiful day, I have spent it outdoors. I am now halfway through draining and cleaning my hot tub. Thanks for the Booker’s JFri. It makes cleaning the hot tub a little less precise, but who needs precise when you are retired.

HEY CLEO!

TABBY IS TOTALY COMPLETELY AMAZINGLY CRAZY HAPPY RIGHT NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! NEVER HAVE I BEEN THIS CRAZY HAPPY EVER!!!! AHAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!HAPPPPPPPPPPPPPYYYYYYYYYYYYNEESSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Tabby, are you CRAZY HAPPY? Good, you must have had a good day!

Hey Cleo! See you later, Grog! Tabby, how crazy happy are you? Is it contagious?

Dry, I forgot to ask you to toss the vanilla ice cream over this way. Thank you.

Good ‘noon, ya’all!

I think I noticed that Tabby might be a little happy at the moment? Yes, is it contagious???

Watch it Carmy, it’s started to melt!

Oh dear, some of that landed in Cleo’s hot tub. Sorry, Cleo!

Hi Mr. Bunny, sir!

Hi Mr. Bunny! I’m sorry but I think it is contagious. Be careful!

Okay sport fans, I’ll catch up with you all much later. Places to go, people to see, yada yada yada.

Tabby are you happy?

Hello Carmy and the troublemaker Dry. I actually have a hot tub story. When we first had the tub put in we were also rebuilding and enlarging our deck. The very first time we used it LilG’s son got in with a White Russian he had made. LilG wanted a photo of the two of them in the tub. I went to get the camera, he put his drink down on a little ledge meant for glasses. I began to focus, he went to put his arm around his mom and knocked the mixture into the tub just as I tripped the shutter. They both were laughing in the image. There should have been a camera on me. I had been the one to fill the tub and add the chemistry. LOL

Just in case someone is reading this and doesn’t know what a White Russian is…it’s not a person.

I’m already crazy–I don’t need contagious happy too!

OH YES IT IS SO CONTAGAIOUS MAINLY IF YOU KNOW THE STORY! AHHHHHHHHH HAPPY AND these crazy people here are trying to get me down and its not gonna happen bc i am way to INSAINLY CRAZY EXCOTICALY HAPPY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

cleo, I MUCH prefer Black Russians!! Here, have another Bookers!! Dry, I was just trying to help you maintain your girlish figure!!

Yep, I definitely detect a certain joy there…

I wish Joy were here.

Thanks JFri.

i got the number of my crush

OOOH Tabby!!!!

BTW, Grog, the easiest way for met to add ♠Lonewolf♠’s little ♠s to the comments is by using copy and paste. (like here).

Is that really contagious? If I get too near Tabby, will I get the number of my crush? Will I get the number of her crush? Congrats, Tabby!

@Shika, about NFs being inscrutable: it’s because the SPs are all into action and impulse, SJs into rules and getting things done, and NTs are into knowing things and being skillful. They can all understand the others, even if they have different goals themselves.

But NFs are into being meaningful and having a meaning in life. Which strikes the others as being pretty nebulous.

cleo, looks like we need to get out our shotguns and start cleaning them…..just to keep *”the crush” in line!

JFri maybe it’s an Orange Crush, but I doubt it, no other pop would dare move in on Dr. Pepper. Yes JFri we can be his official greeting committee. If he can stand up to John Wayne and The Incredible Naked Man, he does indeed have honorable intentions.

And we can have Dueling Banjos playing subtly in the background!!!

Thanks JFri!

Good story Cleo! I’ve never had a White Russian, but I do like Black Russians! Hven’t had one for awhile.Sorry I disappeared. My ham hocks were done in the slow cooker so I took them out, took off the fat, and shreded the ham. Put it in the fridge for overnight so all the fat and grease turns solid. I’ll make that (ham pot pie) and also stuffed shells for Sunday and have leftovers all week then.! Go me!

Dry’s cooking TERRORISTS!!! She’s got Hmas hocks on the stove!!! RUN!!!!

*Way to go Tabby! No wonder you are CRAZY HAPPY!

YES CLEO! I WISH OUR JOY WAS HERE TOO!

JOY, GET YOUR KEISTER OVER HERE NOW, LADY!

Yeah, JOY!!

OOPS! I ate a piece of ham when I was cleaning it! I’m sure God forgives me, though!

I thought Dry said that her ham socks were done in the slow cooker.

Cleo do I have to go back and check my typing? Oh who cares, they were in the slow cooker, so if they were socks, they’ll still be tender! :-)

@Dry, those disciplinary rules are the least important religious rules to observe. OTOH, maybe you will burn in h€||…

:-Þ

No Dry, it is just these old eyes of mine.

bunny yea I know, but that Catholic School training stays with you you know! The purpose is to give up something you really like as a sacrifice during Lent, or to go the extra mile so to speak, during Lent.

I have a friend who has given up ice cream! Good thing Carmy isn’t Catholic! LOL!

cleo I hear ya’! I have new glasses to see better, sometimes I see better without them, sometimes I see better with my contacts in! Go figure!

And sadly, I have to enlarge A@H and Bewley to read the print!

*Dry said, 5 fasts ago

”bunny yea I know, but that Catholic School training stays with you you know! The purpose is to give up something you really like as a sacrifice during Lent, or to go the extra mile so to speak, during Lent.”

[sigh]

[heavy sigh]

[really heavy sigh]

I prefer not to start with something “to give up” but to go more with the sequence of Matthew 6: 1-18. We begin with giving alms: what can I offer from my gifts, especially giving myself, my personal gifts, to others with a claim on them? Next comes prayer: what do I want to offer God by way of attention and time so I may hear his call?

Only then comes fasting: what needs to be let go so I have room for these positive things? I find this is a much healthier way to go about it, and encourages us to continue after Easter comes. After all, why spend 6 weeks building up new habits and (we hope) improving our life, only to quit cold when the time we celebrate our new life with God comes along?

Sorry for the sermon–[sigh again]–and we wonder why there is so little effect in our lives.

bmonk, not bunny, now. I call you that now out of respect! Thank you! Of course, you are correct!

Finally done with refilling the hot tub. Now nothing can get between me and my Booker’s except making dinner. Groan, why am I not more like Andy Capp?

Dry, you typed “hma hocks” so I added the “s” for Hmas!! cleo, another Bookers for you and one for Dry, as well.

sneak peek

Hi Guys!** I’m supposed to be doing homework for tomorrow. Shh! Don’t tell.

I LOVED the duelling banjos.

EEEEEEEEEEEEKKKKKKKKKKK!!!

Shika, next time KNOCK for Pete’s sake!!

Dear Dry If you ate socks, I’m sure that God understands. He may be shaking his head though. If you ate ham, on the other hand- there’s no hope for you!

;-P

cleo I’ll have some Bookers after I finish my Booker’s report.

Book report. Ahem!

KNOCK, KNOCK

Peek!

tee-hee!

Hi Shika!

What movie was that from? Looked like a young Burt Reynolds there. Who was the guy with a banjo? He was good.

JFri, I’ll take the Bookers, and I misspelled

HAM did I? Oh well, Turd!

Hi Dry I’m playing hookey. Don’t tell!

YEEEEEP!!

Dang, she’s sneaky!!

I love the conversation this last page or so, nice and easy. Entertaining, as you often are, I might add.

Shika, the movie was Deliverance and not for the weak of heart. Thar was the best scene of the whole movie. No idea who the kid on the banjo was.

Dry, here’s your Bookers!

cleo So they ended up with a milk bath, or do I guess right about a White Russian.

Bunnyface Nebulous is about right when I see the look on people’s faces when I try to explain intuition.

One professor said, “Well, if it works for you…””

He was my academic advisor too.

Shika & cleo, what’s for dinner??

Dry, is this your new job???

Dry Your asking me what’s for dinner? Better hope that cleo is cooking tonight- I forgot!

Back to homework. I’ll open up a can of tuna and have that. Want some?

Thanks JFri I won’t watch the movie. Just the clip, thank yuo. I don’t have a stomach for violence these days. Never did, come to think of it.

What was the “yeep” for? You were decent! Or is it the surprise when I suddenly appear here like I do?

BBML

JFri my new job? If you only knew! LOL! Try settling a dispute between Amish and English!

Shika yes these last few pages have been nice, eh? And no, I’m not asking you to cook, I know better!

Shika move

I like the rat better than a Walmart greeter. At least he’s honest.

Well, jaaaaaaaaaaaa I was decent!! After that first surprise visit!!!

JFri if I remember I believe that kid was actually from the Appalachians. Haven’t seen the movie in a LONG time, but I think I remember reading that somewhere.

Did you ever see “Southern Comfort” with Powers Booth?

Another Shika move.

Dry said,

And no, I’m not asking you to cook, I know better!

What’s that mean? It better mean you know how busy I am and wouldn’t presume to ask me for one of my delicious culinary inventions.

Or you don’t like tune in a can for dinner?

;-P

Love ya all. Bye! Again.

Sigh. Hopefully the last time for a few hours.

Dry, I believe you are right about the kid. I don’t think I ever saw Southern Comfort.

Shika, What? Yeah, that’s it ! You’re too busy to cook! I know that! (Think she bought that?)

And I love tuna, so out of a can is fine!

JFri * you should try to find “Southern Comfort”, THE ORIGINAL WITH POWERS BOOTH. I KNOW YOU WOULD LIKE IT!*

Howdy Shika.

JFri my wife made homemade ricotta cheese, so we are using it to make ricotta dumplings with homemade tomato sauce and my baguette.

Dry, she said ”TUNE in a can!!! Dueling Banjos maybe??

cleo, NICE!! I’ll be there in a bit!!

*JFri yeah, I guess she did! * Told you my new glasses are worthless! LOL!

Cleo homemade Ricotta! Count me in! JFri can you give me a lift, I’ll pay ya’ for the gas!

oh, yeah, Dry!! It’s right on the way!!

Thank you sir!

cleo, GREAT NEWS!! Dry & I will be there for dinner and we can repair the drywall while we’re there!!!

Cleo we are glad to do this for you, since you are serving us dinner and Bookers! What are friends for, if not to help each other? No worry, friend, we have had a class in drywall!

Dry, we have class?? WHO KNEW!!

Of course we have class, JFri! You mean you didn’t know? Well you know now, bud!

JFri & Dry, dinner is served and it isn’t class that you have so much as gas.

Dinner is served.

Knock, Knock.

Cleo since we have gas, you sure we are still invited? :-D

WHO’S THERE?

FELLOW

I’m afraid to ask, but

FELLOW WHO?

FELLOW BABY, BABY!

JFri how’s your Bookers? Mine is delicious, served by the perfect host, even though he doesn’t trust our drywall work! We had a class in it Cleo. We do know something about it, something! ROFLMAO!

Grog Boy I walked into that one!

**Dry, you didn’t walk, you ran!

Writing that I felt as though I’d been posessed by Austin Powers.

Hi, Dry, Shikamoo, JFri and cleo

Hi Grog!

How are you doing this evening?

Pretty good Lonewolf. I thought I might check in before turning in. It’s been a pretty busy week and I’d like to get an early start to the day tomorrow.

Grog, I have a pool league tomorrow. But do to my present sleeping habits, it’s up in the air whether or not I make the turnover. I’d prefer to be asleep by then, but unfortunately it doesn’t always happen that way for me.

Grog it is supposed to be beautiful here tmr. and I plan to take advantage of it!

I know what you mean. Usually, I have difficulty sleeping, during the work week. Unfortunately I tend to more than make up for it on the week-end. I really don’t want to do that this week-end as I’ll be in Dallas for a few days on business next week and there are a ton of things I’d like to do before I leave.

Lonewolf, I loved your counter to my comment on the Flying McCoys.

It was supposed to be beautiful here today, too, Dry, but the afternoon was a lot cooler and breezier than my expectations.

I love today’s Dilbert.

Grog, I figured you would understand what I was referring to.

Dilbert was a good one today, Grog.

Grog, In thinking about what I wanted to post at the Flying McCoys, I just figured time was on my side.

Not really, since they were doing a rain dance… but perhaps a good counter would also have been “You Can’t Always Get What You Want” OR “Gimme Shelter”

Can you tell I like the Stones?

How about “I’m Just Waiting On A Friend”?

Grog, That makes two of us on liking the Stones. I mean it’s only rock and roll but I like it.

Dry, I saw your comment over at Winnie the Pooh. Yes it is great to see all the old ones again, but Hedgehog2 makes similar comments on almost a daily basis and it’s just not sinking in.

Ah yes the Rolling Stones. I really enjoyed Martin Scorsese’s movie.

That pretty much sums it up, Lonewolf

Hello Cleo.

Hello Terry, dinner and dishes are done and I am just awaiting my sweetie to arrive to watch a movie.

Cleo–We are getting ready to watch “Most Haunted”.

I also liked that Stones concert film/movie.

Grog I don’t see him much, but he has been around a while. I’m just glad to see the old strips again. Our local paper used to carry WTP and I always read it. Was so happy to see it here. I loved Eeyore and my kids had the 100 Acre Woods toy when they were little. I gave it to a friend when they had outgrown it but I kept the little Eeyore figurine! I still have him! Yea, I guess that’s good, I still have the kid in me! LOL!

Yes Dry, you still have the kid in you. Want me to turn you over my knee and give you a little paddle. :-D

Dry, I never really read the cartoon until I saw it here. They never had it in my local paper when I was growing up. Can you believe that?

But I could see the TV cartoon on Saturday mornings along with the Flintstones & Jetsons.

Terry I am not familiar with the show “Most Haunted.”

Cleo I don’t think LilG would like that! LOL!

We are going to watch a 1945 British or Scottish movie called I Know Where I’m Going. I don’t know anything about it.

Grog I forgot about the cartoon show for WTP! Geez I feel old now! I watched that with my kids! I hope it was reruns we watched! LOL!

I always felt sorry for Eeyore because he has a nail holding his tail to his hiney. Ouch!

Hello Carmy. I have never had much to do with WTP and I don’t know why. I guess because it has never been featured in any of the comics that I read.

Cleo, it’s a “Paranormal” type program. I don’t fancy the people on this particular show, but the places they “check out” are very interesting. It’s on the Travel Channel.

Programs on…………………..BBL. Maybe during commercial breaks…………….

Terry, interesting premise for a travel channel program. I can just feature… ” Come to Ireland and haunt the ancient castles.”

While it crosses my feeble mind,

@CARMY, have your girls ever watched “Little Bear” or “Franklin the Turtle”? Those were great kids cartoons! And my one son has most of Franklin’s books, which I have kept for him for his own kids someday, if he wants them, and Franklin and Snail are tucked safely away for future use.

Hi Carmy (x 4 or is it 5) Maybe that’s why Eeyore had such as sunny disposition on life.

Hi Cleo! I never really read WTP in my comics either, but my girls do like to watch the DVDs with WTP. I really dig Kipper, that would be Kipper the Dog.

Dry, my girls love Little Bear! We have some Franklin books. I really like the Dumb Bunnies books. Grog, I’ve lost count. ha ha! Poor Eeyore!

I guess not having kids has hindered my comic development. I seem to know way less about the different comics than most of the rest of you. Or maybe I am just stifled in my comic development, or maybe more oriented to a certain element of comic.

Carmy would those be the dumb playboy bunny books? I am hip to them.

My older sisters joined childrens’ book club right after I had my first daughter. They have sent us so many books, we’ve had to give some away. Some of them got too old and started loosing pages. We did keep some favorites, I put them away for safe keeping.

cleo, I may have one or two of those hangin around here, too

Movie time.

Cleo, it’s probably the certain element and no, the Dumb Bunnies are not from Playboy. LOL

Oh Grog! You too?

(blush) Yeah, me too. But I’m sure that cleo and I aren’t the only ones keeping Hef in the Playboy mansion.

Grog What do you have hangin’ around? Hmmm?

Cleo was saved by the bell!

It’s a big house, Dry. I’ve got a lot of stuff “hangin ‘round”

Among my various art and movie and TV show and record collections, I have a weakness for certain Playboy issues.

Grog, I guess those girls do need somewhere to relax. I mean all they do is lounge around Hef’s mansion all day. Hey, did you see The House Bunny with Anna Faris?

I also have almost every original Star Trek Novel published, a few of the earlier B.C. and Peanuts paperback publsihed.

No, Carmy, I didn’t see “The House Bunny”. Googling it now.

I didn’t even know that there were Star Trek novels. Did you see the recent Star Trek movie? I have some Bible Collection tapes and DVDs. In “David” Leonard Nimoy was Samuel. He did a great job, IMHO.

Carmy, I’m not THAT up on Playboy.

Grog, my older girls wanted to watch that silly movie. They think Anna Faris is very funny.

Carmy, this make come as a shock to you, but there are well over 80 novels based on the characters on the original series. There are also novels based on the characters in succeeding series, which I have not collected.

Oh, and I have not yet seen the latest movie, but based on the trailers I’ve seen on TV, they looked sooooo young.

Really? Wow! i can’t believe I’ve never come across at least one of them.

Movie break while my wife brushes her teeth. I had a subscription to Playboy for decades and let it lapse just over a year ago. One of the things that made my wife decide I was the one for her was when she asked me why I had a subscription to Playboy. My answer… the pictures.

In the movie they were very young. It is interesting on how they all met and joined up together. I thought I wouldn’t like it, but I really did enjoy it.

Cleo, honesty is the best policy!

Carmy, there was a time when the science fiction isle at the book store used to be fully stocked with them, with their own fully stocked shelf. But if you go to a Barnes & Noble now, you’ll be lucky to see the latest releases, which no longer include anything from the original series unles Shatner has written it.

Carmy, I dropped Playboy a few years into our relationship, when I determined it was no longer necessary for any reason at all. I married the love of my life. :-)

Grog, maybe you would have better luck at a used bookstore.

Carmy, having said that, there is still room to bitch. LOL

Cleo, you are so sweet! LiLG hit the jackpot with you.

Carmy, I hit the jackpot with her as well.

Oops! My last comment should have been before your last comment, Cleo.

Carmy, no need to go to a used book store if I already own all there is to own in that particular area.

cleo, I don’t think you’re missing much. They’re starting to get rather skimpy on the playmate photos. I’m going to be thinking it over before I renew my subscription.

Well, see there? You are both winners!

Carmy your last comment is fine. I just point out that life always has its little moments. LOL

Movie time.

Grog, I misunderstood. I thought you were still looking for some of the novels.

Yes, I hear you, Cleo. Enjoy the movie.

Carmy, perhaps I should also rephrase what I initially said: I own all that I want to own from what has already been published. There are really no new releases to collect.

ever been to excited to sleep?

More often than not, Tabby.

am i going crazy?

Outta here for the night! If one of my buds gets breakfast, I would love a BLT with mayo!

Goodnight Cleo, Carmy, Grog, and Tabby!

HI MARG AND JFRI!

Hardly. Sometimes the mind is a hard thing to turn off, like a light bulb. I need something to distract me from what’s on my mind.

Hi Tabby! No, you’re not crazy. Try reading a book, maybe that will make you sleepy. Grog, I hear you. Goodnight Dry!

I’m trying to make it to the turnover, but I’m getting pretty tired. Maybe I can manage a really quick toon run.

im tired now. lol night all

Tabby, I am glad that you are excited. Just be careful sweetie. And this is advice from the number 1 letch of the 60s, 70s and 80s.

Goodnight Tabby! Sleep well, Sweetie Cleo, LOL, very good advice!

Did I have a hand in putting you to sleep, Tabby? Works all the time without even trying.

Goodnight Carmy.

Grog, I think she just have may needed a distraction. Goodnight Cleo! Hope you enjoyed the movie.

Carmy, I tell you, if I don’t fall asleep my wife does.

Goodnight all.

Nite ALL

Cleo, if your wife is like me, she’ll be falling asleep before the movie is over. Although sometimes I see the beginning and the end, I just snooze through the middle.

Goodnight Cleo and Grog! I’ll see if I can hold out for another 20 minutes or so.

Carmy here is a song for u to listen to while holding out

Good Night Cleo & Grog

(sweep, sweep)

Thanks Tabby! Hello hymenoxis, Long time no see!

Howdy, Carmy.

(scrub, polish)

How’s Texas? Did you celebrate Texas Independence Day?

Yes I did. I had a marguirita.

Texas seems to be fine, so far as I can tell. Governor Haircut was re-elected, so I can sleep safely tonight.

Excellent! Has it started warming up yet? My Mom said that it’s been colder than usual down in the Valley.

Up in the sixties today, south of Ft. Worth, and I’m expecting to see canna sprouts soon.
