Big Top by Rob Harrell for June 11, 2009

Throw your tighty-whities. To me they will be forever thongs.

Eggs Benedict, country fries and light wheat bread with orange marmalade.

Sounds perfect, Cleo - thanks.

Don’t think I’d want to go back on that stage either!

Hope you find a job soon, Rad. I’m sure you will. Until then, stop in from time to time.

Sounds good to me, Cleo. I’ll have some of everything.

Okay my dear ladies. Breakfast coming up.

And with that, I bid you both good night. Cya tomorrow. If you are there, JFri - a demain (‘til the morrow)

I’m stuffed, Cleo. Goodnight.

Good morning and Happy Thursday!!

I guess tabby didn’t come on again last night :-( I guess we can take all our bets and add it to the party fund.

RadK good to see you again. Good luck with the job search

It looks like this story arc is about to end. I’ve been enjoying it. Can we still keep being Le Tribe?

Just for fun I decided to look up the word tribe in French - should be la tribu

Good Thursday morning Akenta, Doc, and Cleo! I prefer to call this daily gathering “Under The Big Top”.

Cleo, I’ll have double on the eggs benedict! I love it!! First time I had them was in Canada.

Akenta, I’ll bet tabby did come back, but when she saw what we were doing, she didn’t sign on. Does lurking count in the betting pool?

I’ll have to go back and read last night’s comments. Don’t know what’s going on yet, but

good luck Rad!

I must be losng my touch!! Doc, you got up again without my help! :-(

Mornin’ Josh!

Morning all.

Morning.

Good morning everyone. Give me coffee please.

JFri - Good luck and wishes on your long day.

doc, what nonsense???

i started to say hi doc, now I see JFri is here too, about an hour ago, but one of our directors came in and sat here and talked and of course, I’m out in the open, so I had to be a good girl while he was here!

So #MORNING GUYS!!!

Yea, doc, I mayy hurt myself lifting all those band instruments!!!

My mom used to say, “There’s no percentage in being good!”

and before Risitas says it:

DAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH STRIP

Send Manfred out for the encores. This was his dumb idea! Let him get hit with rotten turnips!!

ladywolf continues to get lambasted. On Calvin & Hobbes, she made a simple personal comment an got tied to the rails for it.

Bummer! A rotten turnip and some skivvies. What to do now?

Good Morning All! Tabby is okay. She was upset because the chicken lady did not phone her as she said she would. Hopefully she will call Tabby today. Thanks for breakfast. Rad, good luck, I’ll be praying for you too. Akenta, I like Le Tribe too. BB in a few.

doc, earlier you said you wondered who all read this nonsense. Us people here are perfectly sane and normal!! Nothing wrong with us, not one thing! Duh, what was I saying… . my mind tends to wander!! LOL

Morning Le Tribe!

MMM, Smells wonderful Cleo. Dish me up some of everything.

Coffee too Doc, if you are there.

Tighty -whities? What the h eck are those? (Just playing it safe.)

morning carmy!

Cleo, re last night, “Planes Trains and Automobiles” - How could I forget one of my all time FAVORITES!! I loved John Candy, what a loss that was! Broke my heart!

And “Summer Rental” and “The Great Outdoors” - bear, big bear as he runs into the cabin slamming the door behind him!

“Groundhog Day”, love it!

I’ve seen all those movies more times than I count!

docT

COFFEE! NOW!

Dry - Yes, me too. I can watch those movies over and over again. Oh, and also “Christmas Story”.

Hey RAD Sorry to hear. I hope you get something soon. Don’t forget us, even if it is to withdraw from our Tribal bank. Lot’s of Goodwill to go around. Prayers too. (Opps- there’s that word again, sorry guys.)

Morning La Tribu Do you mean we’ve been a female Tribe all along? Jeepers, hope the Tribe doesn’t get a complex about being called “Le Tribe” in the strip, not to mention by us.

Rotten turnips? How low can you get? Oh yeah. Whity-tighies! LOL

WINDMILLS EVERYWHERE!!! I’M SURROUNDED!!!! AAAAAAAAUUUUUUUUUUUGGGGGGGG!

DAAAAAAHH Strip:

Something fetid this way flings…….

Lots of good movies out there. Was I mixed up about Key West? It’s Key Largo? Never was good at names.

Doc: Anyone who watches us deserves what they get. As long as they leave peacefully.

Mornin’ Joy!

Cleo, and “Home Alone” the first one! ROFLMAO!

JFri Quiet down will ya? I’m re-routing Doc’s coffee to you. Sheesh! Windmills- GO AWAY!

*JFri *

*COMING RIGHT UP MY DEAR!!! CREAM AND/OR SUGAR WITH THAT?

Jfri Make that “coffee served with a smile” : )

Peace, okay?

Dry mocha-ize it, please?

doc, For shame!! wink!

Hi Dawn, Ready an reporting for a day’s work aas an adoring fan. Weel, my day got off to a rocky start, but I’m here for you.

Morning Akenta, Josh, Carmy, DRY, and JOY.

DAAAAH Risitas! Morning!

Miss anyone? I think I included everyone under the umbrella “La Tribu”

JFri, windmills everywhere tells me one thing!!!

*STOP TEXTING WHILE YOU’RE DRIVING!!!!!

Light sabers & the new power generating windmills……the new Don Quixote?

doc, Red Dawn, that’s going back a ways, wasn’t that Patrick Swayze? If its the one I’m thinking of, good moive!

DRY: Just make a recording of your band and sneak in and play it #####REALLY LOUD!

And take care of your back!

Say- They’ve fixed editing your comments. Thank Kenny and the gocomic IT team!

Dry….OOOOOOPS! BUSTED! WHERE’S THAT MOCHA???

JFri: You can’t drink, text and drive too! Especially Doc’s coffee. Careful now!

JFri - I deduct that you are east of your domicile.

doctortoon - I too like “Somewhere In Time.” Also, “Same Time Next Year.”

BBL Going to make my rounds around toonville.

Speaking of, why can’t we see on our collections the comments we make? That was a nice feature, because you knew which strips you had commented on and could go back and see who responded to you. We can’t do that anymore!

KENNY, ERIC IS ANYBODY SEEING THIS I HOPE!

Road House

JFri, didn’t you get the mocha? I was standing there on the corner with it! I thought that was you, buzzing by over the speed limit with one hand texting on the blackberry!!

cleo far east end of the gorge!

Dry you were supposed to run alongside and hand it off like a baton on a relay race!

Morning Yappy Nuts! I slept in, then had to run to the PO, but I’m here for rest of the day. (I think). You have really been yappy this morning - page two before I show up.

I’m only 9 over the limit so OSP is leaving me alone! Seen 3 so far!

Dry I can find what I’ve commented on, by clicking on RRAmom, and then when it takes me to my page, just scroll under the comic I’ve favorited. Hope that helps you!

Vanishing Point!

4 F-15’s just came from 4 directions, formed up & took off! Very cool!

HELLO????

4 OSP!

RRAMom yes I know about that, but I have a collection I read everyday, all those comics on one page and when I would comment on whatever strip, the comment would appear right under the strip on that page. I didn’t have to play “hunt and peck”.

:-P

NOW HE’S LOOKING AT THE SKY, TEXTING AND DRIVING AND DRINKING COFFEE!!!!

JFri - I to like Vanishing Point, particularly the nude blond cyclist.

Jane Seymour is scrumptious. doctortoon, it’s a good thing we are in different towns. We’d always be after the same women. LOL

Of course I am married now, so I would no longer be pursuing available ladies.

Silent Running.

Silent Running - Clark Gable!! Bridge on the River Kwai - William Holden Stalag 17 - Ditto

doc, he’s drinking mine, but swing some of yours by me and I’ll try to catch up with him!!

1 WSP

Cleo: That “deduce” I believe : )

You and Doc just egg each other on don’t you? Good thing we know you are kidding- you better be!

JFri: What’s next? Rummaging in the back seat for some food? While driving with a coffee, blackberry and watching the sky? LOL

BBL. RL beckons again.

Cleo, I thought Vanishing Point was an Alfred Hitchcock film! I don’t remember a nude blonde riding a motorcycle!

Speaking of Alfred hitchcock, “The Birds” another movie I can watch over and over again!

DRY: I heaard the woman actor in “The Birds” had a nervous breaksonw after that scene in the attic. The birds were just too realistic. Saw it in an interview years ago.

“Psycho!”

Dry no, it was about a maniac racing across the West in a ‘70 Challenger eluding numerous policemen. Wonder why it’s one of my favorites? Shika nah, it’s buried on the passenger’s seat!

JFri - I was always disappointed in the ending of Vanishing Point.

So are you racing across the country in a muscle car?

Dry - nope. Silent Running stars Bruce Dern. Maybe you are thinking of Run Silent, Run Deep with Clark Gable.

1963, The Haunting.

And I’ll bet the Challenger is a bright red!!!! What is 1WSP?

I won’t even comment on the maniac part! LOL

Dry WA State Police! Challenger was white. xcleo used to….’69 Firebird 400! Now it’s. Turbo Subaru Baja or V-10 F-250.

cleo, yea that’s right, saw that one too but don’t remember much, it was SciFi wasn’t it? I’m thinking of the part where Clark Gable says to rig the sub for “SILENT RUNNING”

Shika - shame on me. deduce is indeed correct. Just wrap me up in deduct tape and put me in a corner. :)

JFri, you are doin’ some traveling!! PLEASE STOP TEXTING! :=(

*Dry *- yes Silent Running had the cute robots Huey, Dewey & Louie.

Well, I am off for a bike ride with my sweetie, than a trip to town. See you all later.

cleo, must be nice! It’s raining here, to rain all day all night, flash flood warnings out, humid as H E L L!

I’m going to lunch. BBL. Maybe now someone will behave “hisself”!

Help, I’m in Othello! Look that up on a map, Dry! And, yes, I am stationary at the moment!

Joy I saw him & he said to get provisions for another cruise!

okay i am just about finished my work for the day, but figured id drop in to see how that bet was going. lol I saw todays “2 cows and a chicken” lol very funny. left you all a comment. and Jfri :P

so what did i miss?

Funny Quote of the Day Never have more children than you have car windows. Erma Bombeck

Doc and Jfri and Cleo well all you dirty minded people. here this is for you.

Man vs Pregnant Lady From an actual trial in London …

A young woman who was several months pregnant boarded a bus. When she noticed a young man smiling at her she began feeling humiliated on account of her condition. She changed her seat and he seemed more amused. She moved again and then on her fourth move he burst out laughing.

She had him arrested for harassment and when the case came before the court this was the man’s reply when asked why he acted in such a manner:

“When the lady boarded the bus I couldn’t help noticing she was pregnant. She sat under an advertisement, which read “Coming Soon The Gold Dust Twins”;

then she moved under one that read “Sloan’s Liniments remove Swelling”.

I was even more amused when she sat under a shaving advertisement, which read “William Stick Did The Trick”.

Then I could not control myself any longer when on the fourth move she sat under an advertisement, which read “Dunlop Rubber would have prevented this accident”.

He won the case.

i fill yucky today… :( my tummy hurts and when i think about eatting it just gets worse. if i disappear without letting you know, no need to worry i went to bed.

Hi Tabby Good to see you - we missed you last night ;-(

Hi Le Tribe or should I say Yappy Nuts!

DocT, I won’t mention your wandering hands - Oops - just did.

I’m with you Dry, “Planes Trains and Automobiles,”“The Great Outdoors,” “Groundhog Day” as well as anything else John Candy was in. I also enjoy rewatching the “Vacation” movies, some more than others. I’m a comedy addict although I enjoy a good action film. Now where do the “Bond” films fit? And then there is Robin Williams.

Tabby hope you feel better soon!

Do i want kids?? lol

One day, the phone rang, and a little boy answered.

“May I speak to your parents?” “They’re busy.” “Oh. Is anybody else there?” “The police.” “Can I speak to them?” “They’re busy.” “Oh. Is anybody else there?” “The firemen.” “Can I speak to them?” “They’re busy.”

“So let me get this straight – your parents, the police, and the firemen are there, but they’re all busy? What are they doing?”

“Lookin for me.”

thanks dawn i dont know what is wrong. i havent been hungry all week just making myself eat here and there. my nanny made biscuits this morning and had me eat. :(

A group of 4 to 8 Year-olds was asked “What does love mean?” The winner was a four year old child whose next door neighbor was an elderly gentleman who had recently lost his wife. Upon seeing the man cry, the little boy went into the old gentleman“s yard, climbed onto his lap, and just sat there. When his Mother asked what he had said to the neighbor, the little boy said, “Nothing, I just helped him cry”

okay this is the sweetest thing every. aww. kids have this way of knowing things that is amazing.

guys??? come one im back and no one is around? is this what happens when i dont come back, when i just leave you guys hanging? im sorry guys i love you!

A small boy is sent to bed by his father. Five minutes later…”Da-ad…” “What?” “I’m thirsty. Can you bring me a drink of water?” “No. You had your chance. Lights out.” Five minutes later: “Da-aaaad…” “WHAT?” “I’m THIRSTY. Can I have a drink of water??” “I told you NO! If you ask again, I’ll have to spank you!!” Five minutes later…Daaaa-aaaad…” “WHAT??!!” “When you come in to spank me, can you bring me a drink of water?”

tabby

Dry will yell at me!

Jfri well then is there anyone else out there? you dont want to make Dry mad at you. lol be safe Jfri

Joy, Like I told RRAMom I know that, but that is an extra step I didn’t have to do before, and now I do. Call me lazy!

I must have missed a post between now and when I left for lunch!

JFri, Why am I going to yell at you now? What are you doing?

I see now, because Tabby wanted you to come back? But you did when you said I’d yell at you! So now I have to

YELL AT YOU!! And I’m typing big so you can see it on your blackberry, cuz I know you’ll look anyway!!

Tabby, good jokes!!

Joy are you calling me lazy?? :-D

Dry and Joy the list is longer… i miss the old way of things on here… well some of them. lol

Joy wow. well im glad you didnt die. :D i have asthma also… mine is a coughing asthma it sucks. i get hot over heated and i start a coughing and it dosent stop and the med i have for it causes yeast infections in your thought. that is crazy.

from two days ago…

A shaman, a monk and a lawyer waked into a bar…. everyone laughed.

Do you get it???? do you do you????

Joy lol your going crazy in your “old age” lol i think its Dry and that pirate making you crazy.

Dr. Dry added her two cents worth at Stone Soup! LOL

Joy, yea I guess I did!

I see you’re going with the big words too! No sense in making JFri STRAIN HIS EYES, EH? ROFLMAO

Joy, In the corner, in the dark, with a rum and coke? LOL

Joy thanks. wow i never knew that an ibuprophen or aspirin would work. i take …..Advair… stupid stuff dosent work…

lol Dr. Quack Dry do you feel the love? ((((hug)))

Hello! It’s very hard to catch up on these comments. Joy, Dry and Tabby, you all are really quick with the typing!

I had to go to the dentist for teeth cleaning. It took a long time. I had missed my last 2 appts.

carmy how are you today? Dry and myself have to be… we never know when joy will just vanish. lol (((JOY)))

“How you live” Point of Grace :D

Wake up to the sunlight With your windows open Don’t hold in your anger or leave things unspoken Wear your red dress Use your good dishes Make a big mess and make lots of wishes Have what you want But want what you have And don’t spend your life lookin’ back

Turn up the music Turn it up loud Take a few chances Let it all out You won’t regret it Lookin’ back from where you have been Cuz it’s not who you knew And it’s not what you did It’s how you live

So go to the ballgames And go to the ballet And go see your folks more than just on the holidays Kiss all your children Dance with your wife Tell your husband you love him every night Don’t run from the truth ‘Cause you can’t get away Just face it and you’ll be okay

Turn up the music Turn it up loud Take a few chances Let it all out You won’t regret it Lookin’ back from where you have been ‘Cause it’s not who you knew And it’s not what you did It’s how you live

Oh wherever you are and wherever you’ve been Now is the time to begin

So give to the needy And pray for the grieving E’en when you don’t think that you can ‘Cause all that you do is bound to come back to you So think of your fellow man Make peace with God and make peace with yourself ‘Cause in the end there’s nobody else

Turn up the music Turn it up loud Take a few chances Let it all out ‘Cause you won’t regret it Lookin’ back from where you have been ‘Cause it’s not who you knew And it’s not what you did It’s how you live

‘Cause it’s not who you knew And it’s not what you did It’s how you live

I am doing okay. The girls and I may be hitting the beach later this afternoon. It won’t be so hot or crowded.

Tabby, glad you are feeling better.

carmy take me with you? its been so long since i went to the beach. I love the sand i could sit there and build sand castles for hours and be happy. lol im still a kid at heart. they are just the collest things.

i hate going to the dentist…. what took so long??

Tabby, You are most certainly welcome to join us! It took long at the dentist because I have gum problems. When I get a cleaning, it’s a deep cleaning and it takes longer than usual.

Joy and Dr. Quack.(if i may call you that) lol

i always find the best med. is to wash your hands like crazy. not use that germ- X junk. it is just something your body gets used to and wont work when you need it to… soap and water. is the best.

if you wouldnt be so far away i would come.

i see. that has to hurt. i have such crooked teeth and with the braces it makes my gums bleed when i brush them and stuff.

Dr Quack, eh? I resemble that remark!

I’ll be back in a few min. i need to go change and find the sun block. to get ready to cut the grass. i made my nanny mad bc im not going to wash her car but i will cut the neighbors grass. lol im such a terrible godchild i know.

I’ll BBL too. I never finished making my comic rounds.

BY JOY SEE YA SOON

Dry love you. lol

okay guys well gals bc we are ruling the place here. i have to go cut grass. i got my sun block on. nice and shinny now. i will have a hat on so no need to worry i am protected. see you all when ever i get done. wish me luck its been a while since i cut this much grass i have water dont worry. im going to be fine… i hope..

i smell yummy like baby powder great sunblock.

I don’t often read the comments on this site (feels a bit like crashing a party), but I’ve just made the mistake of reading the comments at Calvin and Hobbes and needed a strong dose of gentle good humor and camaraderie. Thank you all!

Well the heck with all of youz guys! :-(

JFri, I take it you’re done texting now that you’re done driving!!! I have Othello googled for ya’ What do you want to know? I found you a McDonalds where you can have supper LOL!!! Let’s see I get paid how much an hour to sit here and not do this!!! LOL

See ya all! I’m actually going to work for a whole 40 mins!!!

Anyone know of a effective remedy to trap/kill/prevent wasps inside a house? I’m sure the wasps have built nests in the attic, and any place else, but I’ve had 4 wasps in the house this week, and since I’m allergic to their stings, it makes me VERY uncomfortable. I’ve got cans of wasp spray around the house, but I’d rather find another way, since that gets kinda messy.

You’re welcome to join us, AbbieT as long as you stay away from arguing politics or religion. We have fun here!

Thanks, RRAmom. Alas, RL limits the amount of time I can spend here, but I’ll drop by when I can.

not back yet. welcome abbie t

SHE CALLED ME!!!!!!!!!!! I AM NOW 100% BETTER!!!!!

bbl still trying to get lawn mower out its stuck im week whatever. love ya

Tabby, what did I tell you yesterday? I’m glad she called. AbbieT, Welcome! We are just a bunch of nice, yappy nuts.

RRAmom, My Papa Daddy used to burn the wasp nests that were on the outside of the house. I don’t think you should try that on the inside. Can you call an exterminator?

Joy yes i am rinsing and not swolling thanks. carmy thanks for the prayers.

on the phone with the stupid licens place let you know later how that goes. bbl

Good afternoon everyone! Got some catching up to do. BBL

Abbie, Heck RL calls me all the time, but I find time for this! I think I’d be lost without all these YAPPY NUTS!!!

And welcome!

carmy Problem is, we live on 5 acres on in the country. An exterminator couldn’t possibly kill them all. Plus, service calls this far out are expensive.

RRAMom, do you know where the nest is? Does your hubby smokes cigars per chance? If you could, you could until night when they quiet down and blow smoke into the nest and then try t plug up the nest. Otherwise, CALL AN EXTERMINATOR if you are allergic!

I like a lot of those movies you guys were talking about. There were also some good anecdotes today, especially from Tabby.

Joy what kind of fun can you have on a dead man’s chest? He has to be alive girl for the real fun to start!! LOL BAAAAAADDDDDD JOKE, SORRY!

Dry Nope, no smoking here.

There are probably several nests around. We have a variety of stingers, mud-daubers, paper wasps, yellow jackets. I’ve tried a few wasp traps, but they don’t seem to do too well, in my opinion. Anyone know what is their predator(s)? Maybe I’ll check with a county extension office, and see if they have any ideas.

RRAmom, I would check with the county extension too.

Okay, I’m getting a lasagna ready so when we get back from the beach we can just put it in the oven. See you all later!

(((JOY))) Thanks ;)

I don’t know how the winter gets over there, Rmom, but in Michigan we had a beehive right outside our back door. We kept spraying it with Raid or something that kept the Bee’s quiet until winter when I went out with a golf club and knocked the hive down. Solved that problem, but I don’t know if it can fix your problem. Hi AbbieT, this pleasant nature of this place is what drew me here in the first place.

Good afternoon/evening everyone!!

Abbie welcome to the group. We do talk a lot, so just read what you want and join in whenever you have time.

tabby I’m glad you heard from your friend. You were worried about nothing?

Some GA news which I’m sure will excite everyone as much as Josh and me - We are officially out of the drought we’ve been in for years. Still have water restrictions, but more rain is expected over the next few weeks.

Hi Abbie and welcome. This is a great group. I am a fairly recent member of Le Tribe and am already addicted!

RMom, *Joy’s suggestion is just what I was going to suggest. It works extremely well. My cousin also swears by the paper nests they sell. Works for her. We purchased a wasp trap that did work. A plastic bottle (about 3 inches across) with a 1/2 ” plastic straw “bridge” across the middle. Filled it with pop and it collected hundreds in a very short time. Hope something works for you. RL calls. BBL

Joy, JOY, Joy Three times you’ve said goodnight, then you come back, and I miss ya each time cuz you say you’re leaving for the night!!

Have a good one! If the scurvy stands you up, we’ll all go after him, LOL!

Akenta, we’re under a flash flood warning here in PA It pours for hours, then stops, then pours for hours, then stops again! And of course the last time it stopped it started again just as I was leaving work!!

@Dry, sounds a bit like here today: Bright sunshine at 9:00, 10:50, and even 12:30 when I was outside. Warm enough the last couple of times I couldn’t even use my coat, so I left it in my room when I was going back to work at 1:00. Walked through the cool drizzle.

By 2:30, it was coming down hard enough that a co-worker who went outside to finish a conversation had to duck back in not to get soaked!

By 3:00, the sun was back out again; 3:20 or so was another downpour, but then it cleared up again.

Dry try and stay dry (it was funny a second ago when I thought about it, but you can go ahead and just groan)

I’m going to check out C&H and see what happened and then finished my comic’s round. I woke up late this morning and only got to the O’s, so I’ll see what happened to Stone Soup when I hit the S’s.

johnny - The winters are cold enough here. The problem is that it isn’t just one big nest. It is more like a dangerous Easter egg hunt. I’ve found nests in all sorts of places. Under the deck, between studs in the garage, on stuff in the garage…

JFri I just got back for the day, and I’m catching, on PAGE TWO! Please tell me, “WHAT IS BURIED ON THE PASSENGER SIDE??”

Joy - I use the wasp spray like crazy. But it gets messy inside the house, cleaning up all the surfaces where the spray has landed. I definitely like the long-range ability of the cans!

Dawn - “paper nests”? I’m familar with plastic bottle traps, but what are the paper nests?

Tabby Now I’m on PAGE THREE, and I think that story about the pregnant woman on the bus is hilarious! Sometimes those ads are funnier when you read them with people near by….!

Yeah I guess Raid is all I can suggest for now. I wouldn’t spray that stuff inside though, it is harmful to more than just Bees.

Dry that was *so* this morning! I’m in Spokane fitting apprentice linemen for pole climbing gear! Another 2 hours, then a 6 hour drive home!

DOC: Still on PAGE THREE. I like your typo: “I was going to stay up and get some more work around HER… but I changed my mind.” What work were you going to do around HER, and why?

Okay! so now I get to page FOUR and everyone is gone, except JFri, who can’t answer unless he is stopped somewhere.

JOY: I’m sorry I missed you! It seems we never are on the same page together. ☺ I hope pirate lets you use a Blackberry, that is, if you ever stop having fun on a dead man’s chest1 Hope it’s not Pirate’s chest! : )

Tabby: I like your joke about the monk, shaman and lawyer. Very good! And I’m glad she called. It’s never worrying about nothing when you feel as bad as you did.

shika I’m still here - just finished the Z’s :-)

Dawn: We like the same kind of movies! I always knew we would make a good team. and better still, we belong to the amazing Le Tribe, or La Tribu. We’re all just Yappy Nuts who like a good laugh (or Cry) together.

actually, I like mant of the movies mentioned today. Good omen, I think.

BBL Off to look at Stone Soup, and then have dinner.

just got finishe cutting grass. watering and feeding chickens and watering garden now i have to wash my nannys car. ill be back some time tonight maybe. i hope so. peace and love.

Well I am back. I am still absolutely dumbfounded at our weather. they called for a chance of rain today. Instead the clouds burned off and it is another sunny day. After running my errands I have been doing more watering. My wife keeps expanding our yard and I keep ending up with more areas to water. Safe drive home JFri. I will be thinking of you. Hey, maybe I’ll have a little cocktail in your honor.

Double Indemnity. Crash. The Usual Suspects.

A cocktail sounds good - might get a glass of wine and join you.

Shika the food you said I had in the back seat! :-)

AAAAAAAARRRRRRRRR,Joy, me luv! I be coming up ta th’ pier! Don’t be killin’ th’ pirate! I know ye can have any man ye please but I be th’ one what takes ye cruisin’!

Pirates Of The Caribbean

JFri: How could food be buried in the front seat? That’s what I’m trying to figure out. : )

Akenta and Cleo Sorry about disappearing just when you both show up. I’m glad you had cocktails together. Next time I’ll join you.

Tabby: You sure are a busy young woman. I’m glad you are feeling better. I must be better now too. I walked two hours today, and spent two or three hours cleaning and raking more of last years oak leaves form a friend’s back yard. Those things never decompose. The just sit there year after year if they aren’t raked. The two mallard ducks were back in the pond.

Good one Comicaddict- Pirate, that is! Any other movies of pirates? We could make a movie about you and Joy, but no one would believe your escapades, you rascal!

I guess he sailed off into the sunset again. Well, it seems to be a good time to catch up on things here and then join the crowd later.

Later Alligator!

Shika I’m on a ROAD TRIP! Everything is on the passenger’s seat!

JFri,

*DON’T TEXT AND DRIVE! *

IT WILL BE DARK SOON EVEN OUT THERE! SAFE TRIP HOME MY FRIEND! BE GOOD, FOR ME PLEASE!!

I’ll bet the pirate would like a rum and coke. Sail on up to my dock and I will pour you a strong toddy.

JFri, thought you were in Othello? What are you doing in Spokane now? Did you check out the MickeyD’s in Othello? LOL

carmy, how was the beach? You people eating your lasagna yet?

IF I disappear its because my kids home and will want the ‘puter for awhile!

cleo, rum and coke please, and another round of eggs benedict in the morning for breakfast! PLEASE!

Othello is one boring little town.

Dry I just had to make a stop in Othello on my way to Spokane!

cleo, small town but they have a Mickey D’s!! The older I get, the more I find that stuff lays more in my tummy! Still like those Big Macs, though!

Dry dark isn’t for another 4 hours!

Dry - a rum and coke is at your side. I can not guarantee an early enough presence to guarantee eggs benedict.

i can get sucked into Michey D’s as well, but I am purposefully ignoring the call and I feel better for it, but I still crave the food.

I think i’m going to say good night. I didn’t get a chance to get some wine, but I’m about to fall asleep. See you tomorrow!!

JFri, It’s 9 here, so 6 there. It doesn’t get dark until 10 out there? No way! You be good on your way home!!

My kiddo wants to use the ‘puter! Seriously, just drive and watch the road, okay?

Cleo, If you’re late with the eggs bendict that’s okay! I’ll eat them for lunch!!!!

Raining again! I’ll never get my beans and carrots planted!!

Akenta, Sweet Dreams!

Where’s Doc? Getting off now, P & L Doc!

Dry, I guess I just missed you. The beach was very nice. The water temp was perfect. We already ate lasagna too. YUM! Cleo, I love The Usual Suspects I found a DVD in the bargain bin. It has 2 movies, The Fugitive and U.S. Marshals. Oh, everyone says that it is a terrible movie, but I really like Fun with Dick and Jane with Jim Carrey. and Tea Leoni.

im back for a few min.. just long enought to tell you all i wont be home tomorrow. ill be babysitting out of town. :( so i will miss alot. i got all the stuff done that i needed to get done. my dad is home now so i have to go see if he needs anything. bbl sometime. i hope. peace and love.

commic I think you would like Muppet Treasure Island.

Hey all, 2nd to last stop here tonight. One more round to make and then I will pop back in.

Erroll Flynn was known for his swashbuckling movies, and then there was Hook, and The Princess Bride with the Dread Pirate Roberts.

Doc did u sleep well?

did anyone else but shika see or get my joke about the shaman, monk, and lawyer??? let me know. brb need to check out stone soup.

I saw it, but not sure I got it… :-(

I saw it, I’ve seen it before, but it is still good for a chuckle. I think I commented on it earlier.

Pirates: How about Sinbad? Treasure Island in various remakes? Ummmm….Blackbeard or something like that? Long John Silver

bmonk…. they walked in to the bar… not a drinking bar but a post bar.. the ran into it. lol it was funnier then..

akenta your joke to dry to stay dry had me rolling. lol you always make me laugh…. well you all do. :D thanks

Ok, kids, I have to get to bed. One more day ‘til the weekend. Good night all!

See, that sophisticated humor goes right above my head! Now, how about the dyslexic person who walked into a bra?

lol bmonk he walked in to a BRA?

Night Jdoc

wow it is only 9:03 here and im falling asleep at the computer if it wouldnt be for the pain shooting up my back when i leaned forward i would be out. and i still have to eat supper. may not be back tonight to tired.

Doc lol i know what you mean. :D okay getting off now.

DOC: Don’t you just wish you were going to bed now, instead of getting up? LOL

bmonk: They walked into a bra and each got a cup. :D :D

ba-da-boom!

(ok- pretty lame, but I just got here.

Cleo, I’d offer you some wine, but you are already having a rum and coke, and my wine isn’t as good as yours, so….may I trouble you for a glass of wine? You can have a whole bottle of what I have in exchange!

Tabby: What is this with shooting pain when you lean over? You mowed one to many lawns, washed too many cars or fed too many chickens, or cleaned the house too much…or…

Glad you don’t have to cook tonight. Take it easy girl.

Back from dinner. Still sunny here. :}

Doc: Do you have airconditioning? I don’t- I hardly even use a fan.

It’s chilly here today, but it was perfect for raking and tidying things up outside. Not to mention walking for two hours, but I already mentioned that. I love walking, especially in the country or in a park.

Cleo: Send some more over here. “Tis more blessed to give than to receive! : )

I gave you a bottle of wine. Did you see that?

How was your dinner Cleo?

Bummer. Hard to decide what to do on the hottest days, I know. Thankfully, we don’t have them too often. At least, not lately.

How’s Titten and Boots DOC? Mua says “meow” He’ll look for them in the Cat Room tonight.

Where did Cleo go? He said he finished dinner. Cleo- are you helping with the dishes? It’s late here for me, can’t stay up too long.

Guess Who’s Coming for Dinner?

To Sir, with Love In the Heat of the Night (Sorry Doc!) My Greek Wedding

What’s a mouse bong Doc? They can’t be a bad influence for Mua. He’d sleep through the excitment, wake up, yawn, and ask them to feed him.

That’s what he does with me anyways.

For bmonk: My Geek Wedding

Ha-Ha! Mua does that with catnip.

He once caught a mouse in my living room (don’t ask). He was so proud, he couldn’t wait for me to wake up and see it. Didn’t eat it- just played it to death. When I went to take it from him, he hissed at me- only one of two times he has hissed. Oh, 3 times.

@**Shikamoo, why for me?

Mua thinks that any mat he finds is his (see avatar). so when I let him out in the apt. hallway, he scratches everyone’s welcome mat to claim it as “his”. I haven’t broken the news to the owners of those apartments that Mua is now their landlord!

Because you like sophisticated jokes!

That’s My Greek Wedding with a computer nut who specializes in typos!

And I haven’t told Mua that he has to collect rent from them. that’s next!

Another bad joke:

An anthropologist goes to an island to study a primitive tribe. On the second day, he is awoken by loud crashing drums that go on all day. Getting tired of this, he asks the chief, “What’s with the drums.”

Chiefs nods his head, looks at the ground and says, “When drums quit, very bad.”

This goes on for several days, and each day he tried to pry information from the chief about the drums. Each day the chief says, “Drums quit, very bad.”

Finally at the end of the third day, the drums quit suddenly. The silence is deafening. The anthropologist runs to the chief and asks, “Is this the bad thing? If so, what is it?”

The chief says “Yes, very bad thing now. Bass solo.”

Doc I know. BTW, I use the toe of my stockings for catnip. Mua loves it! He’s not dumb.

What do you mean “purt near confusing as wimmin”? Titten has beer taste, but Boots is gourmet- the real thing, fresh will do!

BA-DA-DUMB-BOOM-BOMB

Moths taste good!

Is that the drums starting, Shika?

@Doc, moths have good protein. And they’re fun to catch too!

YES!

I hope they don’t quit too soon then!

Boom-bitty-boom-bitty-BOOM-BOOM-BOOM!!

I think there may be two trains of thought here on a collision course!

Moths will also put out a candle in an empty room, like a sanctuary lamp…

Are they poisonous? Mua likes moths too, and c-ck-roaches, ugh, again, don’t ask how I know that.

He was an outdoor cat before I got him- could account for his taste.

He also loves chicken! Don’t tell Tabby or her neighbour that. I swear he was indoors all week!

Or a ghost…..BOO!

Sorry, just realized that was in bad taste, considering the room. i just noticed it1

Our cats used to go bonkers when the 17 year locusts came out. Crunch until you drop!

I have to get to bed. Tell Cleo that next time he finishes dinner and announces that he’s back- to stay here. Very confusing.

Jfri: #DON’T READ THIS WHILE YOU ARE DRIVING, BUT GOOD NIGHT EVENTUALLY. Safe trip and sweet dreams.

Night doc and bmonk

Night everyone! Le Tribe, Yappy Nuts all! P & L

Rum-titty-rum-dum-BOOM-rattamattama-chang! Ting Ting Ting Tang Rum-titty-rum-dum-BOOM-rattamattama-chang!

Good night to RAD too. Sending good vibes and wishes.

Nighty-night all for me too…

Bmonk aka Gene Krupa Good Night! Ba-Boom.

doc, you and I could never live together!! I love the rain, rain on the roof when I’m sleeping, rain and thunderstorms in summer, but I LOVE THE HEAT AND HUMIDITY of summer, makes me feel ALIVE!!

And by the way, I didn’t wake you up with my brass band tonight because it’s raining so hard here, I didn’t want to rust my instruments! LOL

Only 170 to go!

Red & blues in mirror but went by! Not dark yet!

100 to go!

That’s TIDY whities!!!
