Morning all! Shoes are the way to many a woman’s heart. Tabyy, read yesterday’s last few comments, please.

BBL

Marg* is this what your talking about?…Tabby: Cleo is right. They are your special feelings and no one can take them away from you. if so i responded on it… i think… to tired to think strate right now.

Okay my lovely people. it is WAY WAY WAY past my bed time. it is now 12:38 over here. i need sleep my eyes are supper heavy. i may not be around much tomorrow. it is my day off from Ana and i have a lot of work to catch up on. i may stop in to say hi or something, who knows. thanks for all the kind words you are all great. peace and love. dont stay up to late. :D

Nite, tabby!

good night tabbylynn. Hello marg.

Tribe Toon Daily Post Early edition: In a stunning turn of events it appears Carmy is now missing! Once again the pirate, commic addict is being held by authorities for questioning. When asked what he was feeling, commic addict had this to say: “I jest be tryin’ ta get back ta see the fair Joy. I am not now, nor have I in th’ past, been involved in a kidnappin’!” It was observed that the scalawag had his fingers crossed (on his GOOD hand) at the time of his statement. Search parties have been organized to look for Carmy or clues to her whereabouts. If you have any information regarding this case please call 1-800-555-CLUE.

Calling in with a hot tip: Carmy has been working on her girls’ computer, trying to fix it most of the afternoon. The Pirate is innocent.

Cleo: I left you a comment on ‘Doonesbury’.

We need some food here. I’m hungry. How about some bagels and cinnamon rolls?

Cleo: I just read your comment on the May 12th board. I would have gladly held hands and stepped into May 13th with you and Tabby.

Tabby: Congratulations and much love on your graduation day!

Hello? The stage is empty, it seems. Goodnight, everyone.

Not so fast marg, the stage is NOT empty quite yet! The pirate will appreciate your testimony, I’m sure!

marg, I checked your doonesbury post. Quit trying to hinder my action.

Hello JFri. I have a feeling we are it my friend. And, just as we retire to bed doctortoon will probably arrive.

MMMMMM, marg I’ll take 3 of those cinnamon rolls! I have coffee, orange juice and milk! I’m staying away from docT’s coffee today!

Cleo…Big Top, the strip that never sleeps! Can I be on the BT Chamber of Commerce?

JFri you are the Mayor as far as I am concerned. I am off to bed. For those of you who remain up. may you sleep the sleep of angels when you finally retire.

Cleo, left you a post at C&H AND Pooch Cafe!

Last one standing! AGAIN!! JFri’s Last Stand?? Nite, all! ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ

That actually is a pretty decent list.

Morning all!!

Really, shoes? I don’t know many men who’d even notice the shoes.

Happy day, all! I have some raspberry/cream cheese coffee cake to add to your buffet Marg & I felt like having Earl Grey today. Plenty for everyone.

Owlsy As one of the newbies, I can vouch the this group is here for each other. I agree with Cleo that you need someone to talk to that will help you keep your strength, sanity & specialness.

Drum roll CONGRATS, TABBYLYNN! Have a special day!!!

Oh and I’m watching for the latest report on Carmy. I thought I saw her late yesterday evening but realized it was earlier yesterday evening so I can’t contribute. ‘You out there, Carmy?

Is she saying “Take me, I’m Yours” or “take me out of here”!

I’m with Dry on this one. Which take are you referring to lady? Morning Everyone! I am okay, please cancel the search party. I got too busy over here and I’m sorry, I should have checked in. All is well, thank you. It took me forever to read all of yesterday’s comments.

Doc, “take me I’m yours” is music to mens’ ears.

Hello everyone. In case you all wondered about me, sorry about my disappearing act. I just go thru these stages where I religiously read the comics then give it up for a while. that’s pretty much how I live my life. Inconsistency is my game.

carmy if you had been here yesterday, just think of how many more posts we could have gotten! Glad all is well!

carmy what did you mean “What am I doing” over at 2 cows and a chicken?

Nozzi, Welcome back! Dry, I don’t know what I mean, I haven’t had enough coffee yet. If I had been able to yap with you all yesterday, we might have hit 500!

Nozzi My consistency ratio is similar. Glad as is well, Carmy. I agree with DocT’s interpretation on this one.

500, 500.

Doc, I have unscrewed my head, you may commence coffee pouring. Thank you!

carmy loved your reply to gmartin at Overboard! Good zinger!!

I’m, I’m up and feeling like a pup.

Dry, do you think that was enough “chat”? I wanted to fill the green box but, it would have been overkill.

My last day with my sweetie before she goes to the coast for her girl’s weekend. Five days of batching it. Our longest time apart since we began our life on the lake.

Good Morning All! . Wow 337! I assume that is the record now? . Owlsly I agree with the others yesterday, find some professional support for both you and your wife. I wish you both the best. . Tabby Good luck with your graduation day. It’s a gigantic step, both intimidating and liberating at the same time. My best advice - stay sober so you can enjoy and remember it.

cleo yes, and you behave yourself mister!!!

I see you survived work doctortoon. It seems like your job would aggravate your condition.

clique |klēk; klik| noun a small group of people, with shared interests or other features in common, who spend time together and do not readily allow others to join them.

Doc, where’s my coffee?

Well nighthawks that would not apply to our little tribe or you and I wouldn’t be here.

doc I meant to behave AFTER she leaves, you silly!

Tribe Toon Daily Post Update: After the sudden reappearance of Carmy the notorious pirate, commic addict has once again been released. BT District Attorney Drystyha was quoted as saying: “I KNOW that filthy pirate is guilty of SOMETHING and it is only a matter of time until he swings!” BT mayor cleokaya echoed a similar sentiment which cannot be published in a toon paper. Commic addict was heard to say he was beginning to understand how Roger Rabbit felt. The missing Nozzi had been thought to be a victim of commic addict but with the weak explanation of his disappearance authorities now believe he has been secretly aiding the pirate behind the scenes.

docT happy National Night Shift Worker’s Day!!! Nooooo, I did NOT make that up!

JFri ROFLMAO!!!!!!

I couldn’t believe how many posts were added after I went to bed last night! Owlsy, I agree that if you can’t get her to go to counseling, you need to go anyway, because you might find out ways to cope without enabling her to continue this destructive behavior. That said, I LOVED hearing about your “hot balloons” experience but I’ve got to make sure my teenaged sons don’t read it!

Mayor cleo can you hear me backing my trailer down your driveway??? Beep, beep, beep, beep…..

JFri, I love your Daily Post. If Cleo is Mayor and Dry is District Attorney, I guess I am the Secretary of the Toon (?).

Carmy I believe you just volunteered for that position so it is yours!

doctortoon, I told my husband recently about what Jeremy from Zits said, and he just gave me a BIG grin. (Knowing there was probably nothing he could say that wouldn’t get him in trouble.) :)

@tabbylynn, their nannybot can be a bit infantile at times. But that’s why it’s a nannybot rather than a real person.

JFri, Thank you, actually I think I volunteered for the secretary job several days ago. ;)

Okaaayyyy, BT dwellers! For lunch today I have a very special treat, bacon explosion! http://www.bbqaddicts.com/blog/recipes/bacon-explosion/ It’s 100% nutritious!

Doc, WHEN!!! I guess I won’t be sleepy for a couple of weeks or so.

JFri Can I be the anchorman? I have just the right outfit!

And, tabbylynn, congrats on graduating! May your life truly commence into bigger things now.

Carmy I guess you did at that, huh? D.F. the job is yours! How can I pass up a spiffy dresser? docT? Sorry 1/2 time! But if you whine REAL purty maybe we can negotiate!

OK, Joy, I’ve seen you out there! Come back to BTville! Bet you are relieved that pirate was proven innocent…well, of THOSE crimes anyway!

JFri I do believe that I suggested that you be mayor. I already have a position that I share with doctortoon. We are the tribe’s resident dirty old men. And that is a full time job in itself.

JFri OMG that looks delicious!!! Is there any magic pill out there that wipes away the cholestorol if you eat that? LOL

Sorry, cleo, you snooze, you lose!! You didn’t even hear me backing down your driveway (sorry about those rhododendrons!) The job is yours, deal with it!! :-)

yea cleo but doc’s not old!

Dry, cholesterol?? In BTville? What ARE you smoking? (can I have some??)

JFri I just looked at the link and YUM! I sent the link to my hubby, hoping he might decide to make it!

RRAmom is IS delicious! And here’s the perfect cocktail to go with it! http://bakonvodka.com/

Oooooooooo, cleo! From the mouths of babes!

JOY, Where are you? Yesterday while I was at the doctor’s office I read all about your city in a magazine. They did a very nice write-up and the pictures were beautiful. Do you ever go by the burger joint that was formerly a gas station?

JFri I heard you backing out on your way to take care of your duties as mayor

bacon flavored vodka? Ah I don’t know!

RRAmom, What are you trying to do to your husband? We may have another case here, Mayor Cleo but this time we can’t blame the pirate.

AAAAARRRRRRRR, Joy where be ye? I need ye after me recent ordeals! All in favor of cleo fer mayor say AYE!!!

marker 89, already!

carmy Joy is about and doin’ fine!

AYE

AYE!

tabby of COURSE you have a job! I need you as a columnist at the paper……Ask tabby!

HEY loo 100 post

Doc i think i did will go back and check. also left you a message on WTP. going see page one then brb

Doc i did see it. thanks. D.F. no need to worry i dont drink bc i dont want to turn into my mom….

tabby I sent you soemthing!

AYE

Somebody better get a fire extinguisher and keep it handy! We’re liable to set the gazebo on fire! It’s a wonder it didn’t go up last night!

Dry thanks i got it and i sent you something back. :D

okay so i have bad news…. i must be going…. i have alot of house work to do and i dont have ana today so it is the day to do it. i will be back later when i can you all know we are addicted no matter what we say. so peace and love till i get back. dont go to crazy on here.

Good morning all! I have to leave shortly, and won’t be back until much later. Cleo: We will be keeping an eye on you while your wife is having her girl time, so just watch it, ‘kay? ;-)

Doc lol rotflmbo

okay that look stupid.

JFri - I gained 2 lbs just reading about the BACON EXPLOSION!

BLOOP!!!

Doc, muy caliente! (very hot!)

Oh doc :-}

(that’s supposed to me blushing!)

cleo where did you go? Look, you are the people’s choice for mayor! We NEED you in that position & I promise it won’t interfere with your duties as dirty old man czar!

EEEK!!! to many ayes. You all sound like pirates.

Dry, doctortoon has a 23 year old son. I’d say that makes him qualify in the age department to be a dirty old man. Besides, it’s all about attitude and imagination.

Joy we need you as Fire Chief, a need pointed out by Dry! I figure you have lots of practice hanging around that scoundrel commic!

marg you are needed at the paper as Outdoor Editor! Say you’ll take the job!

Rad we need you as Chief of Police! Your first assignment is to investigate that large gas cloud about 8 posts back!

if ya vote for fire chief…leave me out…my experiebce goes the wrong whey….also…in the imortal wordes of Homer Simpson “bacon yuummm….drool” good mornin tew awl…thanx for the encouragement…it was well received

Good morning Owlsly. I hope today brings you some peace.

Wink is such a cutie. All girls should be hoping for a hug from the big fuzzball.

hi Joy

now back to work i go. lol

that’s right, how could I exclude commic from the list of dirty old men. Especially since he’s got such a big cannon.

Aye, Joy, fire away!!!! (don’t forget to vote for mayor!)

Joy, I haven’t a clue where that burger joint is. I read about it and know it’s there but, exactly where I know not. If you will be firing the cannons from now on I will definitely feel safer. Commic certainly does have bad aim.

AAAAARRRRRR, cleo, I be pleased ta help ye with them thar dirty ol’ men chores!! Be needin’ any help with th’ mayorin’? Jest show me ta th’ petty cash drawer! 0:-) Joy ye be givin’ away all me secrets, fer sure!

cleo I still maintain doc is not a dirty old man! Dirty young man, yea! LOL And I’ve got a 23 year old too. Are you sayin’ I’m a dirty old lady! Hmmmm? :-)

so i have gotten the kitchen swetp, rooms vacumed, clothes in the washer, living room picked up and desk is clear again. called my granny to tell her to be here earler the 4 bc we need to leave at 4:15 and now it is lunch time.

Joy and Pirate you better invite us to that shotgun wedding. lol and it better not be like pirates of the cairbean. lol

Carmy good day my dear friend. have a wonderful day.

doc Pleasant dreams!

JFri you’re pretty slick trying to pass the major duties over to me, but I can’t be mayor. Nobody wants a nude dirty old man in office. Think of the scandals. Hmm, maybe I could have a whole staff of Playboy bunnies for my cabinet. I’m sure you fellow tribe members would be happy to chip in to cover their salaries and I be happy to uncover their…

Dry I can see that you are setting me up for trouble. LOL

cleo, I can’t be mayor….I’m busy running the paper & PASSING THE BUCK!!!

Hey, there’s some bacon explosion left here!

Geez cleo your wife didn’t even leave yet. JFri we gotta get back up to his place with a huge load of ice and set him in it! Can we find enough to keep him cooled off for 5 days?

Hey #1Redskinsfan is stuck in the muck over at SOTU!! We may need a rescue team to pull him out and get him back to the party! And just WHERE is jdoc????

Dry trust me, “we don’t need no stinkin’ ice!!!!” We’ll just put him in the lake!! It’s as good as melted snow right now and a LOT easier!

I just had to print out the recipe for bacon explosion but I don’t dare make it until after my next blood pressure and cholesterol test…

It looks like #1Redskinfan and RogO have both been removed from SOTU. It’s the “ear” I tell you!

Thanks Tabby, you have a good evening and an excellent graduation!

JFri & Dry, you both forget that I can tolerate cold better than any “normal” man and I have gone swimming in our lake in April. Bring on the dames and the booze. I think I” throw a “lack of toga” party.

docT & bmonk looks like you two will be spiritual advisers of the realm! cleo you may tolerate the cold but NO MAN escapes……shrinky dink!

Cleo your wife is still home and your on here. GET OFF and go spend time with her! and behave your self will you.

Carmy how are you today? im waiting on the dryer to finish.

Doc i have something about a cat that i may send you…. better yet i will try to post it on here. wish me luck.

so im so stupid. i keep walking on pickers. the little brown ones that stick in your feet and you have to peel them out. you would think the first time i would learn. but nope. they flipen hurt. gosh….. ouch!!

this made me laugh so hard i was crying and holding my tummy.

dont get me wrong i am a cat lover it is just funny. sorry.

How to wash a toilet

This was simply too much of a time saver not to share it with you

Put both lids of the toilet up And add 1/8 cup of pet shampoo to the water in the bowl.

Pick up the cat and soothe him while you carry him towards the bathroom.

In one smooth movement, put the cat in the toilet and close the lid. You may need to stand on the lid.

The cat will self agitate and make ample suds. Never mind the noises that come from the e toilet, the cat is actually enjoying this.

Flush the toilet three or four times. This provides a ‘power-wash’ and rinse’.

Have someone open the front door of your home. Be sure that there are no people between the bathroom and the front door.

Stand behind the toilet as far as you can, and quickly lift the lid.

The cat will rocket out of the toilet, streak through the bathroom, and run outside where he will dry himself off.

Both the commode and the cat will be sparkling clean. Sincerely, The Dog

Tabby, my girls are on the way home from school. I got to make it look like I did some housework real quick or else I’ll get busted!! BBL

cleokaya says:

“EEEK!!! to many ayes. You all sound like pirates.”

It’d sound more like pirates if they were all, “Arrrgh!”s.

Tabby, that is hilarious, LOLS. I wish we had a cat.

Carmy it makes me wish i still had one. hurry and get that work done. i am caught up and ahead. go me.

Ifn youse guys want, I can be the token wise man/sage. And the rest of the time, I can easily be a wiseacre.

And tabby, that’s funny! I hope the rest of my family (all cat-people) will laugh too…

hey cleo the lake was Joy’s idea! Sounded pretty good to me!

Bmonk i am a cat lover and i thought it was just great.

Okay my fellow people. i am finishe all my work for today, just in time to get ready for graduation. keep me in your thoughts and prayers today. i just want to make it throught it w/o triping. have a great day the rest of the day. God bless. Peace and Love all.

Great comments at Overboard Joy! How do you come up with them?

JFri, Dry & Cleo You folk like swimming in the cold? I did my scuba certification dives in Lake Minnewanka in Banff Ntl. Park in the Alberta Rockies. It’s a glacier fed reservoir, we did the dives in late September in plain 6mm wetsuits and it was snowing.

Have a great time tabbylynn. Today you will be living future memories. So enjoy.

So Joy, I hear tell you were the one who suggested dumping me in the lake. It wouldn’t work. I would just have to start looking for someone to cuddle up with to make me warm.

Joy I LOVE the way YOU got blamed for the idea of putting cleo in the lake!! 0:-)

tabbylynn I took your advice about spending time with my wife and we just returned from a nice bike ride around the lake.

D.F. my SCUBA cert card has a sticker on it that says COLD WATER diver! :-p

Where IS jdoc? He’s too young to be all worn out!

Aye, lassie, and a promise be a promise indeed! AAAARRRRRR but ye DID tell them about me poor aim!

After I have had my lunch I am going to have to go down to my dock and check the lake temp. It has been pretty cold the last few days and I have seen steam coming off the lake. My guess is that it is 60 degrees. So for me, that’s swimmable, particularly if there isn’t a breeze. We almost always get a breeze off the lake in the afternoon.

Chocolate sodas for everyone except Carmy who gets vanilla! It will help settle the bacon explosion!

wow Cleo That was a quick ride. Only one minute passed between your posts!

WAKE UP DOC!! You’re going to have a lot of reading to do!

Thanks Jfri that’s right up my alley, but you are unraveling the conspiracy between comicaddict & me. you know too much. uh oh, that’s not good.

57 degrees.

Nozzi Uh oh!!! :-0

Marker 182

Achiote-Roasted Pork Tacos with pickled red onions and Mexican “Pot” Beans for dinner tomorrow night. My first night as a 5 day bachelor. Tonight I am cooking halibut on the grill. Both tonight and tomorrow are available for Tribe drop ins. The Halibut is marinated in olive oil, lemon, parsley and basil. Just bring an appetite.

JFri - Cool - do you still dive? I had to give it up for good when they put me on blood pressure meds :(

Hi everyone. 337 last night?! I didn’t see that, I left kinda spur of the moment yesterday to visit some family who don’t have internet. I will probably be busy tonight which will limit my posts here today too, if I get back at all. ciao mi amici. Oh yeah. AYE!

YOU WHO DOC! WAKE UP!!!!!

I was gonna say hi Johnnydoc until you posted that aye. You aye voters don’t know what you are getting yourselves into. I believe you are being overly swayed by a conniving JFri. I’m not cut out for public office. Actually, I shouldn’t even be released into the public. I’m a public menace.

Dry don’t bother doctortoon. He is probably involved in some “dirty old man” routine.

cleo well I don’t want him complainig when he has all these posts to read!

And save me some of that halibut. The marinade sounds delicious! Gee, I’m sorry I missed all the hub bub over at SOTU. Looks like the good comments are gone!

I looked at this cartoon again. Wink looks sooo cute in that first panel!!

D.F. yes I still dive but less & less in the cold murky crud! I like diving the Caribbean & Florida Keys MUCH better! HEY it’s a beautiful 47 degrees & RAINING!! cleo I’m in for halibut, if I’m still welcome :-(

JFri you’re welcome, but when you arrive I’m keeping a close watch on you. With your smooth tongue you’ll probably even have my wife voting for me as mayor.

I don’t think it matters much if I say Aye or not, did anyone else get nominated?

marker 191 comin’ up!

johnnydoc No one else was running for the position.Cleo left the room for a minute and you know how that goe! LOL

Be back in a Jif! I’m going over to Calvin’s to borrow his horn so I CAN WAKE UP doc!

Uhhhh, cleo, about your wife’s vote…….(geez, gang, do I tell him now or wait until she comes back & he’s all missing her???)

Whattaya think, guys?? Is Dry missing docT or WHAT???

Yep, I do believe there is more than meets the eye with Dry.

Yep, I do believe there is more than meets the eye with Dry.

JFri tell him when she leaves so hs has time to simmer down! LOL

I got the horn but Calvin wants it back for tmr. LOL

Okay, you motley crew of reprobates what have you done to my poor unsuspecting wife.

JFri Not to worry, I don’t have too many screws loose! Just a couple! :-D

She’s probably out with commic inspecting his cannon.

I see we’re almost at the end of page 4. I just finished reading page 1. Had to check out the comments on Overboard. Yes, I do enjoy that strip and well as many others that I see the tribe post on.

Today’s Frazz was good, I’m glad DocT gave a link to it. I was tempted, but didn’t really fit with this group.

Nozzi glad you’re back!!

Taking a break and then I’ll be back to read page 2.

cleo, 0:-X

Cleo, I want some halibut too!!!

I guess old JFri isn’t getting any halibut tonight. I hope you like your can of Van Kamps pork n’ beans.

Carmy we ALWAYS save some halibut for you!!!!

JFri, thank you so much for the vanilla soda. I can have it with my halibut. Hey, did you all like Tabby’s cat washing story? Ugh, RL is calling. BBL

carmy you are most welcome. And stay clear of Dry & JFri they are beyond redemption.

Got a Cache story for y’all! When my son was home last week, he was playing Cache’s a$$ off before the reception/party for him & his wife. About 15 minutes before everyone was due to show up I look around and the whole house is covered in bloody paw prints! Seems he cut his foot on something. My son decided he needed to get him: http://www.ruffwear.com/Barkn-Boots-Grip-Trex?sc=2&category=11

I assume that your dog’s name is Cache JFri. My cousin has tried little booties on her dog because of the snow that balls up between his pads. The first pair wore out almost immediately. I am not sure what has been the result of the second pair, but I think Cache would look stunning in red currant.

Yea and I’ll bet Cache sits patiently while you try to put them on his feet, too! :-D

What does O:-X mean? My lips are sealed?

I hope Tabby’s graduation is going well for her!

JFri says:

marg you are needed at the paper as Outdoor Editor! Say you’ll take the job!

I’ll do it. Uh, what is it I have to do?

cleo I think that’s why Carmy likes us so much, ROFL

Dry that’s the ANGELIC my lips are sealed! Actually, Cache IS pretty patient but he still walks real funny!

Dry quit trying to corrupt carmy. Pretty soon I am going to be the only straight arrow in this unholy tribe.

♥♥♥♥*Congratulations*♥♥♥♥

**Tabby Lynn**

You’re #1 in our book! ♥♥♥

Bad move marg You should have asked for the job description first before you accepted! “You’ll be sorry!” (as that suspense music plays in the background!) LOL

Marg, that is so nice! Tabby is going to love seeing that.

Dry: I realized that I probably spoke too soon… =:-O

Thank you, Carmy. I was trying to make big bold letters, but it didn’t work. At least the hearts came out OK.

I like everybody so much and I will not be corrupted. So let it be written.

Carmy The question is not whether you are corruptible, but whether you would do it just for the halibut…

DF, just give me the halibut and no one will get hurt. ;)

JFri Angelic? You?? Oh lord, give me strength!

JFri If you want an unusual cold water dive, do a search for Operation Habbakuk - it’s an aircraft carrier that was built from sawdust & ice during WWII in a mountain lake near Jasper, AB.

Alright I’m bringing out Calvin’s horn!! Get the H E L L up Doc! We’re at 227 and counting!

Joy said she’d pop back! Guess that scurvy old pirate got there early tonight! (snicker)

@Carmy, you can have my halibut (if I get any), as long as you hand over the chocolate. Be nice and slow, and nobody needs to get hurt…

carmy says: DF, just give me the halibut and no one will get hurt. ;) . Don’t give in Carmy you cod lose your sole!

All these fish puns are starting to stink! I’m going to try to tuna them out.

I’m a sucker for seafood. I had salmon for lunch and halibut for dinner. Life couldn’t be to much better.

bmonk, take the chocolate, I just want the vanilla and your portion of halibut. DF, I don’t really like sole so that’s okay. Hey, cod is good too.

I like chocolate to bmonk. Dark and bittersweet. Last night I got carried away with a bittersweet bar with ground peppermint. Oh so tasty.

bmomk your comment/joke was so lame! :-D

It’ll be a cod day in Hakes when I give up my halibut!! (except for all you ladies! ;-))

DrystyhaPro says:

JFri Not to worry, I don’t have too many screws loose! Just a couple! :-D WHO are YOU tring to kid???

Hey JFri just heard on Fox news a blurp about Dr. Pepper and somebody finding the original recipe. Apparently the original recipe had RUM in it!

Jfri you can always kid a kidder!!

Awww JFri, come down off your perch and stop being so shellfish…

Wow, Dry too bad they CHANGED the recipe…..wait, I can ADD it myself!!! cleo, puhleeeze, I am a full blood German so don’t EVEN get me going on chocolate..there are only 2 kinds: excellent & OUTSTANDING!!

Page 4 comments:

tabby I liked that “how to wash a toilet” - step 3 is going to be harder than it sounds. Hope you have fun at your graduation!!

dfrog a lady that I work with gets a page a day calender every year. This year she got a survival one. Today’s topic was how to survive if you tank suddenly fails deep underwater or something like that. We looked at each other and thought - just don’t scuba dive. Some of the other ones we figured we might need to know if we ever got kidnapped.

JFri thanks for the chocolate sodas - it really hit the spot.

I guess I better do page 5 before I watch the tv show I taped last night…

Ja, schön ist die alle Schokolade. Marker 245 or you could say, Ja, Schokolade ist wunderbar.

Rad What are you talking about? Translate please.

I agreed that chocolate is wonderful.

Sorry Dry, I’m a little slow getting around to answer your question ”RRAmom, What are you trying to do to your husband?” He’s been on a low-carb diet, and other than the BBQ sauce, that’s a pretty low carb dish. Matter of fact, he was just looking at it, and liked the idea, so there’s hope the next time he’s grilling…

A few words of wisdom: “Clothes make the man,” said Mark Twain. “Naked people have little to no influence on society.”

RadK do you speak German? I don’t, but the new computer system we have at work hasn’t been fully translated yet. Every once in a while, we’d hit something and an error message would pop up in German.

Rad you gonna take the job as Chief of Police?

Rad you gonna take the job of Chief of Police in BTville? Und du hast rechts! Schokolade ist ganz wunderbar!

Okay tribe, I’ve got a problem. Someone wrote something on page 3 of BT today that my internet filter doesn’t like, so I can’t read page 3. I’d really appreciate it if whatever upset my filter was edited out, so I don’t miss out on the fun. Thanks!

oh JFri you know German too - who else here speaks German?

RRAmom you can’t see any of page 3?

I wonder if it’s one of the ads, can you try it again. The only thing that stands out on that page is RadK’s Bloop.

Nope, the filter pops up the “has protected you from a potentially harmful site” - sigh..

marg that is what I like about nudity. Let me escape under the radar. That makes me happy. That is why I wouldn’t make a good mayor. I don’t like the lime light. I like limes okay though. They go so well with tequila, vodka, gin, etc.

RRAmom I think it’s one of the ads - they used to do that to me once in a while. The reason I switched to Firefox. I don’t trust this site.

cleo has does nudity help you hide - would think you would stand out more.

holy moly, i’m gone 20 mins. and we’re up to 260! What have you been up to? I will read the comments and see! LOL

Is that doc up yet?

RRAmom, I checked page 3 twice and I don’t see anything wrong.

RRAmom yea, my husband is on a low carb diet too, off and on he goes with it, and he is overweight! He loses, then he gains it back. He sort of follows Aitkins. But our hubbies are eating so much BAD things on this diet, sausage, hot dogs, bacon! I love that stuff too, but rarely eat it. But I can’t tell him how much cholestrol he’s putting into his system! I stopped telling him!

alright JFri quit showin’ off and translate please!

Share time, BBL!

Dry I said Rad was absoultely right. Chocolate is truly wonderful!

Dry, unfortunately you can’t get someone to diet. They have to want to do it. My wife is the perfect motivator for me. A spinal cord injury and she is all muscle, plus she is devoted to being as mobile as she can be. I actually used my recent 24 hour flu to lose some weight. I was far from overweight, but chocolate and alcohol are two things I enjoy. I lost 5 lbs in one day being sick. I decided that was my motivation and changed how I ate breakfast and lunch and how many drinks I consumed and have lost 3 more pounds. I kept dinner the same. That is the one meal I eat with my wife and you do have to have something to look forward to.

I’m using firefox also, and if it was an ad triggering the filter, it would just block that part of the page. Oh, well. If someone said something to me on that page, please repost it, or understand why I’m not replying.

I am a firm believer in eating fruit. I have upped my intake of fruit considerably in the last couple of weeks. Apples are a good fill you upper.

doctortoon, Dry has been frantic to get you back. She has been trying to save you from catching up on our inane drivel, but no, you must wade through the mire of our existence.

Doc, Welcome back. Cleo, you are so crazy.

Carmy, CLEO is CRAZY??

So, tribazoids, how am I crazy? Is it because I advocate healthy eating; is it because I eat fruit? Or is it because I invite you ungrateful curmudgeons to a halibut barbecue? LOL

cleo I was questioning why Carmy thought you are crazy :-P

And, above all. You do not want a crazy mayor. It would be best if you make JFri your official to serve you.

I apologize JFri I did not see your question marks when I read your response. I still think that you have a mayoral look about you.

*Cleo, I said you were crazy (and I meant crazy-funny) because of this comment you made to Doc: doctortoon, Dry has been frantic to get you back. She has been trying to save you from catching up on our inane drivel, but no, you must wade through the mire of our existence.

cleo BUZZZZZZZ WRONGO! The people have SPOKEN! BTW, I accept your apology! Let’s have a drink & a seegar! (Celebrating your victory!)

Cleo, P.S. you are still the mayor.

RRAmom there was a lot of talk about roles:

cleo is the mayor joy is fire chief marg is outdoor editor rad is chief of police doct is shaman jfri runs the paper bmonk spiritual advisor

plus all the usual food and nudity talk

If I am the mayor, you guys have no taste. I still will join JFri for a cigar on my cigar deck. I still will cook halibut for carmy and I still will give Dry, Joy and the rest of this looney bin a place to hang their hat, but I have lost some respect for you folks. If you could sink so low as to make me mayor…then, you are one desperate group of people. I do promise, as your mayor, that I will proclaim a day of nudity for all and will banish clothing stores in our fair community. I will raise a flag on my staff and wave it proudly before you. May the breeze be stiff, my constitutes.

Thanks Akenta - probably had to do with the nudity talk. Goodnight tribe!

As chief of police I get to ride my motorcycle and eat donuts.

YO, docT! Wanna be mayor?

Good night everyone - for all those running for and from offices, good luck.

yes JFri. I thought that you would finally see the light. Give the mayor’s job to someone not already wrapped up in a cause, like me. As soon as the national nude for all seasons gets rolling, I may be available for consulting work.

And I thought when I was invited to tag along with this tribe there was no talk of politics. Oh that’s right, you’re not running for office but being nominated & summarily elected. Hear, hear for this dominatr … errr … democratic group.

That said, bon soir mes tribe. A bientot.

You are so right dcguys. End the bleeep politics.

OK, so who wants to be or is willing to be mayor of BTville? jdoc? dc? Anyone? marg?

I forgot what I said, but it was bleeped. They haven’t bleeped my name yet, but it has to be coming soon. I am feeling feisty. I am going to test the censor. bleeep, bleeep, hell, bleeep,…

You are not going to believe this. I typed in several cuss words and they bleeped them all except for hell and the f word. I could not sit here and allow the f word to be out there for all to see. So bleeep and bleeep are verboten but F is okay.

doctortoon how appropriate that you should make a post in the midst of my inappropriate comments.

JFri you are a natural as mayor.

Oh heck JFri, if I can be myself, I will be mayor of this group of funky sailors.

cleo nah, don’t worry about it. You & dcguys are right. No politics allowed on this site.

Wow, almost at 300 comments.

I was wondering if Tabby was going to come back on here after her graduation. It’s only 10:30pm for her. Oh well, it’s 11:30pm for me so I off to bed. Goodnight JFri. Goodnight Cleo. Goodnight John-boy, wherever you are.

Marker 301!

oh God i as scared of this. also sorry i didnt tell u guys i was leaving. lol.

I will be MIA Thursday through Saturday for a trade show & probably be busy most of Sunday. SO NO SEARCH PARTIES!

okay guys not even funny i left on page 3 this is crazy shows me to leave and go graduate with out saying by. i will be on as soon as i can. i also have Ana so it may take longer to get it all read. :(

RAAmom Akenta forget to mention that I am the DA! So watch yourself!

Geez I’m away for 2 hours and all H E L L breaks lose, and I don’t think anybody even missed me! :-(

I feel like I am alone here.

Dry you SAID you were going bye bye for a while :-P Besides, docT was looking for you!

JFri now you tell you’ll be gone for awhile! Thanks, Pal! How am I supposed to keep this group in order? Yea, DUCK AND RUN Mister!

Have a good trip and stay safe my friend! :-)

tabby how was graduation?

Dry call in commic for backup?

still reading… Marg i just saw your post with all the hearts. thank you so much. it means a lot to me. thanks.

Jfri and all else who wonder graduation was great. the only down side was that Ana’s father was there, (some may know why that was bad) i mad it w/p triping and i had didnt cry till the end when they plaed our class song. and i huged all me teachers bye for the last time. i zoned out and did not here anything when i walked across the stage i did not hear anyone shot my name like they all said they did. idk i zoned out. lol all i know is that i made it acorss w/o falling and i didnt cry till the end. i did good. after i wen out and had Pizza hut and came home and ate cake. i got a bollane and roses. and a few cards and some money.

Tabby: I’m so glad that you liked the card. And that you made it across the stage without tripping. ;-)

JFri: We’ll miss you. :-( Don’t mess up your hand again.

hi marg how was your day?

I’m going to Lost Wages next Monday and Tuesday, so I’ll be scarce for a while, too.

Tabby: It was good. My dog and I worked at the hospital, and then I came home and trimmed cactuses for a while.

glad it was good. what kind of dog do you have? i have a black lab/ pit mix. he is about 3 now. also have a 2 1/2 year old child in my lap right now who wont go to bed bc her mother did not set her a bed time when she was younger. sigh how did i get stuck with a kid??

Going to hang out at Pibgorn for a while, BBL.
