Big Top by Rob Harrell for January 14, 2011

That’s it, unless someone comes in with the main menu. It’s self-service until I return in the morning (or send someone to do so). Good night, one and all.

Your’s Looks good Johanan We will overflow with wonderful breakfast choices for all to select from the buffet self-serve is fine.

ZZZZZ

Thank you Johanan and HopeandJoy♫!

I’ll get Steak, hashbrowns, eggs, a chocolate covered donut and carrot cake.

Wow…..2 menus to choose from. You are both too nice!!!

Mmmmmmm…..Lox and Bagels……my favorite!

Serve that up with a cup of decaf Doc’s Nuclear coffee, and a generous slice of CHOCOLATE cake. Yum!

Good morning All.

Good Morning Montana Lady!

Good morning, Sojo

Time for my zzzzzz’s.

♪ P&L ♪ ≡≡ POOF! ≡≡

YAY! DWFNC is back!

Doesn’t Decaf kinda defeat the purpose tho?

Never had a dog with that bad a breath, but I did have a dane that could peel the wallpaper from the other end.

GM TRIBEANDALL and Grog!

Play NICE and stay safe…. long weekend

POOPH

“”JOHANANLast week when I ordered a case of unobtainium collectors mugs filled with **Doc Toon’s WORLD FAMOUS NUCLEAR COFFEE, they unexplainable all got smashed while washing them in the sink, Wat’s wid dat? Don’t even try to blame it on “side effects”.

Good Morning, Johanan, Hopeandjoy♫, Sojourner, Montana Lady, Lewreader and…

Plods with Beer!!!

Both breakfasts sound yummie, still deciding….will have some DTWFNC, no decaf please. Why bother. Morning everyone. Have a great weekend!

Morning, lakesnake (why did it have to be snakes!) You too!

Good Morning, Tribeandall

Good Morning, Grog, HopeandJoy, Lakesnake, Plods with Beer, Johanan & Sir Lew

Great Menus, Johanan & HopeandJoy!

Good Morning, ♠Lonewolf♠!

Jus a tad nippy this AM, Terry

Good Morning, Montana Lady & Sojo

Yep! Just a tad, PwB. And I am doing some work outside this morning.

Good morning Grog. I’m not fond of snakes either. My husband and I own a marina and for ad purposes we didn’t want anyone wearing our stuff with the usual “bum” on it. In Austin they used the term “lakesnake” so…………….. I know, not very original, but couldn’t think of anything else at the time. Suggestions welcome:)

And all this time I thought you were talkin water moccasins… silly me.

It’s ok, lakesnake. Don’t change a thing. I just had to throw in my favorite Indiana Jones line.

It’s intereseting how people decide on their online ID’s actually.

Morning All!

Good Morning, DFrog

Good Morning, Digital Frog

Are you getting out early today, Grog. Or is it the Tech Center today?

Uncanny, ♠Lonewolf♠. I am going to the Tech Center today. I won’t get out as early as i’d like, but the drive home will be much shorter at least.

Goodmorning Again Sojo, Grog, Lonewolf, Dig Frog, Lakesnake, Lewreader, Plodswith beer and those who are checking in later

Johanan and I surprised each other and posted in the same minute…it is unusual for me to be up to do a menu.

Heheheh—–Must be the Wolf instinct in me, Grog. I do remember you saying it was a shorter drive, too.

Note Celestial Seasoning on Johanan’s menu We toured the factory on a recent trip to Colorado and it gave us a new appreciation of tea processing or production.

The samples were fun and the gift shop (gotta go to a gift shop, you know) had interesting items related to tea.

My husband isn’t even a tea drinker but he enjoyed the tour.

Hi, HopeandJoy. It is a great looking menu. I had also planned to do one, but I have been crashing earlier than normal lately.

Hi Montana Lady What is the train story?

Lonewolf are you referred to as Terry or is it Grog Just curious. Wasn’t there a comic called Terry and the Pirates?

HopeandJoy, I am Terry. I started out with my ID as Terry and some of my friends have continued to address me by that. It is my real name.

≡≡ P O P ! ≡≡ ♪ Good Morning TRIBE! ♪

Hello to all those here!

Belated Congrats to Doc on Thom’s talk of him yesterday!

There was a strip called Terry & The Pirates.

Good Morning, Doc

Good Morning, Sojo!

Good Morning ♠Lonewolf♠!

If I had to fix meals here would be late. And we changed way we eat, I don’t think most people would like what we have. I have asked a few some use of this type of meat others not.

I like Pickles though no one I know is as goffy as Earl. My dad used to be stubborn but helped with household stuff when he was alive. Hubby here does the cooking and dishes bless him. I heard from instructor I have to wait until Tuesday for course #. I will let her know this is right since class started previous Thursday. I hope something simple.

Got both medical tests done the 2nd one lab work, Part 2 is Monday dread that one, as long as I come out okay I will be fine just want to get it over with. With no one around I took a chance and weighed I’m not sure I might have lost a little for me that is major I have a very difficult time with weight problems. One pound of loss is major for me.

Good Morning, Kab. Good luck with the medical tests! :^)

Good Morning Doctor Toon - Thank you.

Good Morning ♥Kab♥ - I hope everything goes well,

Doc, I have gotten to know Thom and he is such a down to earth person. A very nice person to know.

Thanks Lonewolf

Good for you Kab Tests are an inconvenience but I guess they are necessary. My ob-gyn doctor had funny pictures of Garfield on the ceiling which made me laugh. It’s all in a days work.

Congrats to you Doc Toon (sorry, I forgot)

Good Morning, Hopeandjoy, Doctor Toon, Sojourner & ♥Kab♥

Good morning, everyone. Slept in late ‘cause I couldn’t get to sleep until almost 2!!! Ugh!

HopeandJoy….no story. I just love trains. This one was shot up at the “High Line” in plains of northern Montana. Still get a kick out of the crew waving back to people like me.

Lonewolf….I didn’t know the same about the use of your name. I like knowing a little bit about our “family”.

Good Morning Grog and Montana Lady!

Hi, Montana Lady. - - When anyone here calls me by my first name, it’s fine with me. You’re all my “friends” and I am happy to be part of this “family”.

Good Morning, Montana Lady.

Have a good rest, Doc. Catch you later!

Good Night Doctor Toon.

Sleep well, Doc

Headed out to repair a van door that won’t open from the inside. BBL

P&L

I think there is a pediatrician that treat children at a different location same building. The building is not very big.

Hello all from Tribe I will find out Monday results. I finish with those exams also Monday. I will have to tell doctor about Garfield toon on ceiling that would be funny might lessen the tension and give children something to laugh out or children see Garfiled up on ceiling they may get scared and take off.

I will see all later I leave in 25 min. I am working on files, dept doesn’t do everything electronic, I suggested this, not interested, there are files that have copies have to be dumped, then sorted and ready for future scanning. I am the only one who scans. Please dear Lord let me pass subjects so I can leave for a better job.

I know I broke your rule that that has been my prayer for a long time. A lot of people have moved around in this mass dept I haven’t.

Have a great sleep Doc Toon.

Time for me to pack it in.

See y’all tonight.

Whoa! Grog leaves and everyone gets quiet……………………..

Aaaaaaaaaagh!

Just because…….

Hello Ooops!!

Hello Sojo

Do you think if I poured Nuclear Coffee on the dishes, they would clean themselves?

Ooops! - It wouldn’t hurt to try. Would it?

Good Afternoon!

Especially: ♠Lonewolf♠, Ooops!, & Sojo!

Oooooooops!, the dishes might clean themselves, but would probably not want to be used as dishes after that.

When the cow jumped over the moon, why do you think the dish ran away with the spoon??

Today’s strip reminds me of this add from a while back.

Huh. When I looked for it, I saw it was from 1999.

Remember that old series, “Space 1999”?

[Someone stop me–I could go on free associating forever…]

I don’t know. Maybe I should just put them out in the rain? I am not sure I want to chase them down if something goes wrong. (sigh)

Hello bmonk!

Ooops! - Is there a car was near to you? The wand sprayer would wash them quickly.

Hello Bmonk

Stop Free Associating!!!

Sojo, wouldn’t it be easier to just toss them out the window? Whatever I do has to be less work than actually washing them.

Ooops! - Out the window might work. If it’s raining that might clean them.. If it’s not raining are there animals aroumd that would lick them clean?

@Oooops!, hmmmm…You could fill the sink with water and let them soak themselves clean. Eventually they might evolve enough to clean and dry themselves and walk to the cupboard.

Or just keep buying new dishes.

Could get expensive.

A friendly dog?? (Oh, please no) Find a friend who owes you and put on a sad face, Ooops

I had some low back therapy this afternoon (deep massage) and need to get to go lie down and take advantage of the general quiet stupor I feel.

Peace to all especially Ooops, Sojo, bmonk as they are the only ones I know are around.

Hello HopeandJoy♫ - Have a good rest!

Hi, Hopeandjoy♫–and bye! Rest well.

Also–my first thought was a dog too…but the friend is a better one.

Remember:

Give a man a fish, and you will feed him for a day.

Teach a man to fish, and you may never see him again.

Maybe if I soak them in bleach? Yes, there are animals, but now I wonder if I want to feed them that close to the house? Gee, if I have to think too much…….. Buying new dishes, you still need to clean them before using them.

@Oooops!, but new dishes are easier to wash than ones with food on them.

New paper plates don’t need washing–but are very evil ecologically. Not at all green.

What’s the opposite of “green”?

”Black” (as in Black thumb)?

Have a nice rest HopeandJoy

Ummm….. most likely the animals cleaning my dishes would be oppossums, coyotes, raccoons, rodents, deer or the like. I think I will just do the dishes myself. Besides, I have a feeling slug slime doesn’t rinse off in the rain.

Hi, LuvH8, Bmonk, HopeandJoy, Sojo & especially LuvH8, Bmonk, HopeandJoy & Sojo! :^)

Hello Lonewolf

Wait! They taught me to fish (maybe), I never caught a single fish. If I had to rely on fishing for food, I wouldn’t have any dirty dishes.

Did everyone else leave, LuvH8?

Yes, I forgot–Hi, bmonk!!

I almost forgot that it’s………………………………

PIZZA NIGHT!!!

@Ooooooops!!, but I like a nice, fresh, fried fish. Especially with a bit of onions, mushrooms, and wine. Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm! Nom nom nom nom.

Hello ♠Lonewolf♠ - Done for the day?

You’re catching on, Bmonk! lol

PIZZA!!!

Yes, Sojo, I am done for the day. Waiting for Ghost Adventures and the Bulls game to come on the boob tube!

(Did I mention that it’s PIZZA NIGHT?!)

@♠Lonewolf♠, I think I did catch a hint that it’s

PIZZA NIGHT.

I’d have greeted bmonk, but he seems to have snuck in while my back was turned…

:-(

Just checked out the weather–the next week is all “Wintry Mix, Snow, Chance Snow, Snow, Snow Likely…”

Snow and freezing rain tonight.

Good thing I have at least 24 hours before I have to go anywhere. I hope.

Wine, you get the fishy drunk, then you fry it? Poor fishy.

Bulls? Is that a Foo Ball team?

Bmonk, is pretty sneaky. I found out …….

Bmonk, that other one sneaking in and out is nothing but an impostor!

No, LuvH8. A Bee-ball team.

Is Bee-ball where they use bats to fly around the bases?

Okay………………………………

But if you strike a bat with a ball, you have to walk, or something like that…

Are you outta here Bmonk, or is that the ball?

bmonk or someone told me where to find cookies, but when I got there………    

Well, Bee bat tomorrow. (Assuming I survive the walk home through the weather.)

Don’t worry. I know that the Bulls Bee-ball is played with hoops in the lane.

I’m outta here–assuming the gocomic servers don’t get me so mixed up that I leave before I log on…

Is not nice to hit bats with balls!

Bye bmonk.

Good evening, tribe.

Yes, bmonk I remember Space 1999. Loved that show.

Hi, Saucy!

Take it easy, Bmonk!

Hello Saucy!

Good evening all.

Hello ♠Lonewolf♠ what type of

PIZZA

are you having?

Bye Bmonk

You and Everybody be careful in that cold, icky dangerous weather!

Hi Saucy!

Hi, Kab.

Starting off with a pepperoni & mushrooms on one, sauasage, olives & green peppers on another & a straight cheese on the third one.

Taking requests for any other combinations.

Big Sister only icky here is side streets some are clearing.

♠Lonewolf♠ you wouldn’t like mine at all. Mine would be too wimpy for you and too healthy.

Thanks, Kab. Mine is healthy enough for me.

♠Lonewolf♠ you sound like my son he only likes pepperoni.

Well, I made it home–had a nice dinner of salmon, with carrots and peas–and am (unexpectedly) back.

Hi, Saucy & ♥Kab♥!

OOoops!, I’m not surprised that the dark side would lie about NOT having cookies.

They never want to share–and their cookies tend to have lots of chocolate. (They are dark, remember…)

♠Lonewolf♠ - I’d like thin crust, Canadian bacon, pineapple, mushroom and black olive!

It’s in the pizza oven as we speak, Sojo!

Dept where I work at pt had a birthday for the month for employees and there are three employees have birthday for January. Sadly I could have any but sorry I couldn’t bring any home for you ♠Lonewolf♠ go with your

PIZZA

The cake is dark chocolate with chocolate chips and fudge icing.

The Sojourner How did you know that is close to what I have, I do add and take one part away, cheese I leave out, I add chicken, tomatoes. I told you wouldn’t like mine.

@♥Kab♥, we’ve had lots of earth-moving equipment pushing snow around here this winter. Seems nearly constant.

Of course, some weeks the snow seems constant too.

I heard that in Wiliston (average annual rainfall about 10 inches) they now have about 42-45 inches of snow accumulation on the ground.

Your pizza is up, Sojo. Enjoy, sir!

Thank you ♠Lonewolf♠ - Looks great!

Any other pizza orders??

It’s pizza time……………………..

bmonk wow that is a lot I knew from news reports east coast got socked. Here in parts of KS not near that much. Though people live further north and northwest may wonder if they received that much. They always get more then we do. Main roads are clear side streets down to ice and part of ice is melting.

Bmonk you must live in an area that geta a lot of snow.

Well, it came mostly in little bits, 1-3 or so inches. But none of it has gone away. And it seems to come at least once per week.

Normally we don’t get that much, but we just handle it when it does come.

all enjoy! :()

Okay I still don’t know how to make above picture smaller.

Thank you for the cake, Kab. The bigger the piece, the better!!!

I want a vegetarian pizza with extra garlic, please?

Today we didn’t have rain so much as constant gloom. I think it may have reached 55°, probably our ice has melted off.

I am out of clean silverware…. well, I do have one big spoon and three small ones left. I suppose I will wash at least part of the dishes. (BIG SIGH)

Hello Sister Kab!

Now that I can get back on my laptop, I should work on that. I am doing dishes now though….. no distractions. Uh-Uh No Way!

Thanks, ♥Kab♥! Nom nom nom!

Oooops!, I didn’t even need to borrow a spoon! ;^)

Your pizza is in the oven, LuvH8!

LuvH8, your pizza order is up. Enjoy!

Space 1999???

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH!!!

Hated that show!!!

Unfortunately I had pizza for lunch today. My Subway was closed for maintenance, or so they say.

Chili was the order of the evening….by popular demand.

Good evening, Doc. Grab some pizza if you wish. There’s plenty here! Have a good night off.

Wow, did those last few posts change places!

Good to hear from you Doctor Toon.

Yay! Vegetarian Pizza! Those rotten teens! Not even the vegetarians liike vegetarian pizza. Noooo, they want cheese pizza.

Okay, I washed some of the dishes. It is good enough for tonight. I think this headache is not going away. I don’t feel like cleaning, and no one can make me.

Good evening, Doctor Toon, ♠Lonewolf♠, Sojourner & Ooops!

Good Evening Grog.

Good evening, Grog.

Do I smell PIZZA or am I dreaming?? I saw a cool-looking spaceman and a guy named Gort was with him wearing a rubber suit and a diving helmet….must be dreaming.

Hello there LoneWolf, Grog, Sojourner, bmonk, Ooops and Kab Think I will eat a Hamburger, mushroom, onion pizza with some Canadian bacon and climb back up in bed.

Strange evening for me but basketball watching tomorrow.

Hopeandjoy♫, you were watching The Day the Earth Stood Still. I caught the end of it after watching my Avengers DVD. AMC is showing The Day the Earth Stood Still again right now. I have that movie on DVD.

Hello all what a tasty meal. I left to catch up on tape’s. I have no date night and to cool. So far this is only place I can use ° I like learning something different. I believe I will call it good. Saturday a different day. Off Monday. Doctor Toon enjoy your evening. Good night all.

Good night, ♥Kab♥

Hi, HopeandJoy.

Good Night, Kab.

I think I’ll turn in too. Been a busy week. The week-end I get to catch up on my zzzz’s so I can do it all over again.

Gunite, Tribeandall!

Good Night, Grog.

Hello HopeandJoy♫!

Good Night ♥Kab♥ and Grog.

I like that movie Grog TDTEarth Stood Still.

Night and rest well everyone.

Good Night HopeandJoy♫.

Good night, HopeandJoy.

JOHANANLast week when I ordered a case of unobtainium collectors mugs filled with **Doc Toon’s WORLD FAMOUS NUCLEAR COFFEE, they unexplainable all got smashed while washing them in the sink, Wat’s wid dat? Don’t even try to blame it on “side effects”.

Thank you for sending a sample back to us of the fragmented mugs according to warranty. We find that the manufacturer mistakenly used not unobtanium (atomic number 120) but undefinium (atomic number 119) as the base material. Undefinum is a completely different class of element and much more brittle than unobtanium.

We are sending you a new case of ubobtanuim mugs, which we have double-checked to make sure they ARE unobtanium. We are also sending a miniature otherspace closet generator, which contains the Nuclear Coffee separtely and safely. New USPS and Intergalcode regulations (per the Marcus IV Treaty) forbid us to ship such hazardous materials by other means.

We apologize for any inconvenience (including mutations).

Hello Johanan!
