Big Top by Rob Harrell for August 15, 2009

Joy LOL I think the guys were trying to get me to post first.

That breakfast sounds great. I’m about to go to bed anyways. Doc’s coffee is too strong at night.

How are you JOY?

Wow! Hi Joy!!! Thanks for breakfast! Shika, I am still here.

Joy! Don;t go! I wanted to say HI!

Hey Joy.

Good to see you.

Scrambled eggs and sausage patties with toast is perfect. I’ll pitch in with breakfast burritos and assorted juices and of course Doc’s Nuked Coffee stright from the pipeline.

Good Night Joy

Okay johnny I didn’t plan to stay up this late.

Where did Lonewolf go? I should say good night, but I’ll finish this beer (ale) first.

I’m not usually up this late. Do you guys have a routine, or does everyone do their own thing? I don’t think I’ll make the rounds tonight, unless that’s what you do first.

Good Morning bigg.

Shika, I am rarely up late anymore these days, I think I may head to bed soon though, but not quite yet. Hi bigg

I am about done also you two. There’s a show on about Yellowstone National Park and the part about the wolves is on. I’ll watch that and probably doze off. It’s been a really long day. Boy, has it ever been a long day!!!

Good Night Shika(You Sweet Thang You!)

Good Night Johnny

Peace and Love Tribe

I didn’t mean to feed the Trolls tonight, but I can’t just ignore people. It’s not my nature.

((((((((((((((((((TERRY))))))))))))))))

That was my cue! No crying tonight, ya hear? LOL!

Glad you pulled a Shika JOY! I miss your sweet face around here. have a good sleep!

I guess I am pulling a Shika also!!! LOL

Hi bigg.

Good Night bigg.

:-D

Joy, that will be just perfect! Good morning Joy, Terry, bigg, Shika, and Johnny!

Good Morning Marg!

Hi, Joy!!

Good Morning everybody!

Don Laramie is starting to creep me out.

Since today is change your avatar day i put this one up, but only for the weekend.

WOW JOY was first

Scrambled eggs are fine, lady! Good to see you! Doc will have a kaniption because you were first!!! LOL

Morning JFri, Marg, Terry, Shika, johnny and bigg!!

Good morning!! I see things picked up last night, right shika and lonewolf

Joy thank you for the breakfast

Dry

Good Morning Dear.

JFri

Good Morning and I’m sure I’ll see you later.

Off to my toonland mery-go-round. Be a poppin’ in and out!

And now I’m popping in! Morning everyone form the enchanted meadows just east of us here. Sorry I didn’t say goodbye to everyone yesterday. But now I’m saying hello to you this morning. The Enchanted Meadows is my new home now. I no longer live in Never Land.

Morning Terry!

Doc

Wake up! I need for you to check the output pressure on the silo. We’re having a malfunction on this end. The Nuclear coffee is slow comong out of the tap.

This could be a catastrophe. I might start seeing double or something worse…………..I might turn into one of those……………no, I can’t even say it…………Aaaiiiiieeeee!!!

How are you doing this fine Saturday morning, Dry?

Good Morning Doc!

Thanks again Doc. I found out when I don’t get my fix just how bad I can be.

Or is that how good I can be. Well one way or the other anyhoo! Back to toonland……

Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzing

Let me tap the reactor with my magic wand and hope that the radiation from it doesn’t turn me into some gross mutation!

Doc

Nice avatar! Each day for me is a new day. Today is gorgeous here in Chi-town. And my day is awesome. Wolfangil is at my side, the kids are healthy and I’m conversing with my friends.

Tell your kitty to spit them out this instant! One of them might be my boyfriend!

You too!!

Tribe

I’m losing track of all this. I think we need a program and a score sheet here.

Good morning Tribe

I have brought the Krispy Kreams, a wide assortment of the creams and jelly filled ones, too. Scrambled eggs w/cheese sounds wonderful….but just smelling Doc’s nuclear coffee has sped up my heartrate…that’s some powerful stuff Doc.

I’m gearing up for another week off. Gonna try and get the house in order this time. Last time…some may recall…I was sick most of my week off and didn’t get a lot done (and not because I was yacking with the Tribe all the time). So far so good…at least I didn’t come home sick.

Got to scoot for now…catch you later

doc I like the avatar, though I had to enlarge it to see what was on the head. Not sure how my cats would react. Otto likes to act tough, but he’s a very jumpy cat. Flora would probably help Boots corner it.

Good Morning Akenta.

Good Morning Quaby

Quaby–Glad that your week off looks promising this time around! I remember you being sick last time.

Good Morning all. I have another day of painting ahead of me and company is coming so I will probably be scarce later on today.

Good Morning Cleo.

I’ve got league pool and my kids football scrimmage this afternoon and early evening, so I’ll be scarce also.

Doc mine are indoor too. Hopefully if a mouse does get into the house, it will find the catnip first and then the cats will know what to attack. For your house, I hope the mice don’t get to the coffee first - that battle could destroy everything.

lonewolf good luck with pool and enjoy the scrimmage.

Thank you Akenta. I will do just that!!!

Nothing wrong with Doc’s coffee. I only stutter for the first 15 minutes now. After that I’m fine!! It used to take 30 minutes. LOL

DOC I’ve mentioned before that I was conditioned on military coffee at an early age. That’s why I don’t understand what all the hullabaloo is over your delicious brew!

Hey Doc–Have you seen this? I just found it by scanning the blog site for gocomics.

http://blogs.gocomics.com/video/

I need to go workout for a while. Still trying to train that bowflex of mine. I think that as soon as I start lifting, it adds more weight!!! LOL

BBL

Good Morning Tribe! Happy, happy, joy, joy! Joy made a great breakfast! Thank you, Joy!

Oh, the poor ladies…Don is on the prowl. RUN AWAY!!

Doc, I dig Ren and Stimpy too! I love Powered Toast Man!

Morning Tribe, sorry about bugging out the way I did last night. I was getting ready to do some serious commenting but wifey wanted to talk for awhile and after that I forgot what I was gonna say and went to bed. Hope everyone is well.

I saw some Ren & Stimpy stuff on TV, never heard of Power Toast Man; wasn’t quite into that type of toons. Forget Spongebob or Cow & Chicken, I personally avoid it, not my idea of entertainment. Johnny Quest, and Bugs Bunny is more my style. I may have outgrown most the TV toons and Nickleodeon stuff but still enjoy a cruise around Gocomics.

I’ve been working on Outlook signatures that refuse to organize for me and why gocomics won’t accept some pictures as avatars. My brain hurts, I’m gonna cruise the toons.

Whooosh!!!

Hi Carmy. Hi Doc.

I heard that Tribal horn while working on the bowflex. Done with that. Now to get ready for pool. I’ve got some time to chill for a while.

It is quiet today.

Rad, I made a goof, it’s actually Powdered Toast Man. He would come out on Ren and Stimpy, kind of like a commercial. Oh, like Log, it’s better than bad, it’s good! I liked Johnny Quest too.

Hey Rad.

That’s what I’m talking about…..Johnny Quest, Bugs Bunny, Roadrunner(where is JFri anyways), Yogi, Mr. Magoo, Speed Racer, Flinstones………. all the good ones are becoming just memories.

Terry,my husband has all the Speed Racer episodes on DVD.

My favorite as a small(4-5 yr old) was Huckleberry Hound. My mother says she caught me painting our dalmation with blue water colors. LOL For those not familiar with Huckleberry Hound, he was a blue dog.

What about… one banana, two banana, three banana, four, la la la, la la la la. The Banana Splits! I also liked Archie’s Funhouse.

Carmy—That’s pretty wild. I liked it quite a bit also.

How are you today? I’m actually having one of my better days, but it’s only half over. I have toned down my workouts, too!

Topcat, Heckle & Jeckle.

Ha-ha…….You’re making me laugh out loud now, Carmy!!

Uh, hello?! Little six inch child-like elf with the pony-tail and wearing a green mini here?! Well, you can’t see much of my green mini because of my close-up in the avatar here (in fact it looks as though I have on nothing!), but I’ve been trying to get your attention all morning and now it’s afternoon (at least in the eastern part of North America it’s noon). Now is there anyone out there who’s fully awake and ready see me, hmm?

Terry, I’m doing okay for now. My husband is trying to force us to go on a road trip tomorrow.

Snagglepuss - Pink Panther

Real Cool, Man, Real Cool.

I’l do the thinnin’ around here.

Exit stage Left e-ven.

Hey Mister Ranger!

Which way did he go, George?

I SAY, LISTEN UP, BOY!!!

Does everyone recognize those few famous lines?

Droopy, Bugs Bunny

Chilly Willy

memories ge t t i ng f u z z y …

Tennesse Tuxedo-Mr. Peabody&*Sherman

It’s Faaaaaaaaaaaaaat Albert!!!!

Ah, a stroll down memory lane…

Josie and the Pussycats!

OMG—-HR Puffin Stuff-The Jetsons

Yes Rad, I recognize those lines!

Rocky&Bullwinkle-Magilla Gorilla.

OK, my mind is in overload now. Memory lane has a lot of pot holes now, doesn’t it! LOL

I worked with a guy named Charley Blakeley who had a natural country drawl like Huckleberry Hound when he talked. It was hard to listen to him without smiling. I’m still trying but just cannot get the right drawl. “Real cool, Man, Real Cool”.

Nope, just can’t do it.

I need to hop in the shower and get ready. I’ll see you all tonight after the FB Practice.

Peace&Love Tribe!!

Terry! I can’t think of anymore…WAH!!!!!!

Mighty Mouse, Underdog

P&L, Terry!

hi tribe. late today, due to donating blood first thing in am. i’ve had breakfast, but i’ll try some of Doc’s nuclear coffee to help rebuild my corpuscles. if i’m not too late to add my faves to the list… Flintstones, Ruff & Reddy, Quick Draw McGraw, Augie Doggie & Doggie Daddy… I am a huge fan of Jonny Quest (the originals, especially, with Tim Matheson as Jonny’s voice). Race Bannon was the first left handed person I ever saw on TV. I also like the original version of George of the Jungle (with Tom Slick and Super Chicken). I’ve mentioned my love of Warner Bros. cartoons and Rocky & Bullwinkle, before. it was good to see that Joy showed up, if i remember correctly, she spoke very nicely in answer to the one time i ever made known my attitude on God and religion (which i know isn’t allowed here, so i’ll say no more about it).

peace and love to everyone here (earlier as well as currently) and i’ll pop back later.

i’ve heard that, it’s what i was hoping for. especially since i’m going to a friends “stag” tonight. i don’t want the alcohol to have more of an effect than normal. here’s hoping it helps.

Good morning Tribe!

Tom & Jerry!!! c’mon people! What would life be like without being able to watch all that violence as a kid? lol

Naming cartoons I see , okay I’ll pick Dudley Do-Right, Woody Woodpecker, and Popeye the sailor man.

It was. Well, I got to getting out. bbml

Tabby I don’t know if you’ll come on today, I just thought I’d take the time and say that I hope you feel better. This forum is not the same without you.

………………………………………………………………………………………………….

Hey doc that’s a nice avatar you got there.

Do we need to form a search party, to find Jfri

HOLY SHOOT !

I come on and everybody goes away.

Well I’m wishing you all a happy day today, Take care, and be safe. I’ll see you all later.

Hello everyone. I won’t try to name all as there are too many . (((((((((((((ALL)))))))))))) You know who you are anyway.

By the way Doc some of your coffee must have escaped and melted a hole through our roof. It has been raining for 2 days and we have to swim through the kitchen. It has been so dry here but now I guess we’re getting all the seasons rain in one weekend. Rain can get tiresome very soon, especially through the roof.

That is a very nice avatar you have Doc He looks just like a cat that we used to have. Not the mouse though. This was a tranplanted barn cat and a hunter. Though he is long gone now, I still miss him. I don’t have any cats now and our dog is getting pretty old too, though still healthy. I am not looking forward to a home without animals. So can I have him back when you’re finished with him?

RAD: I SAY, LISTEN UP, BOY!!!

Foghorn Leghorn?

Hey Mister Ranger!

Yogi Bear?

**I SAY LISTEN UP BOY, I AIN’T TALKIN’ JUST TO HEAR MYSELF THUNDER!!

Rad, It wasn’t Foghorn?

Once again I will mention Hector Heathcote, one of my favorites Plus Tennessee Tuxedo.

It was Foghorn Leghorn…

Time to get some more pickanic baskets.

Heavens to Mergatroid!

HERE I COME TO SAVE THE DAY!!!

yyyguy - I too liked Jonny Quest and also the Thunderbirds.

Morning, Ralph! Morning, Sam!

That sounds logical.

Now hold on there, Boss!!!

Just throwing out some of the more rememberable toon lines from the Good Ole Saturday Morning Toons.

*RAD says, remember these?

Real Cool, Man, Real Cool. I’l do the thinnin’ around here. Exit stage Left e-ven. Hey Mister Ranger! Which way did he go, George? I SAY, LISTEN UP, BOY!!! Does everyone recognize those few famous lines?

? Dezi aka Ricky Ricardo Uh, Bugs? (Numb brain today) Yogi bear or Boo-Boo Droopy Foghorn Leghorn, or vice versa Radical-Knight.

Many of these just don’t go over too well without the voice inflection.

There’s no neeed to fear, Underdog is here.

What about Touche the turtle, Top Cat, or even Droopy

I’m up Doc! I’ve been up quite a while, but my computer is doing a backup now, so I’m here until I can get back to catching up on “puter things to do here.

What happened to summer? RL suddenly has speeded up. :-(

And now everyone has gone.

Oops Droopy was taken, my bad!

Real Cool, Man, Real Cool.

Huckleberry Hound

I’l do the thinnin’ around here.

Quickdraw McGraw or El Kabong

Snagglepuss

Hey Mister Ranger!

Yogi Bear

Which way did he go, George?

Big cat from Bugs Bunny

I SAY, LISTEN UP, BOY!!!

Foghorn Lrghorn

Wiley Coyote and the sheep dog, Ralph

Hi Rad!

GOOD MORNING TRIBE!

IN CASE YOU MISSED MY ARRIVAL! LOL

I think you are right RAD. Although I’m sure that Ricky also said “I’ll do the thinnin’ around here to Lucy”, but then he’s not a cartoon.

Gold stars for Shika… Sam was the sheepdog and and Ralph was the coyote I think.

The funny thing is, I can here those voices in my head, but I couldn’t remember the names. I’d forgotten about Snagglepuss, for instance. I remember Sylvester more.

Summer has gone by quickly, next thing I know, it’ll be back to school as well as work. Yes I’m keeping my job and will switch to part time. And with school and work, I won’t have much time to write stories except on the weekends.

Main thing I remember from Ricky Ricardo is “You got some ‘splainin’ to do, Lucy”

DOC I *Am* a Looney Tooney. I sing in a choir and I’m nuts!

Gosh, if I could afford cable, I’d sign up for the cartoon station and leave it there. I LOVE cartoons!

Does it show?

I’m embarrased of my own Father. Oh, The shame…

Jabberjaw remember him he sounds like Curly from the three stooges.

Real Cool, Man, Real Cool. I’l do the thinnin’ around here. Exit stage Left e-ven. Hey Mister Ranger! Which way did he go, George? I SAY, LISTEN UP, BOY!!! Does everyone recognize those few famous lines?

okay shika, here are my guesses.

Benny, from Top Cat? (not too sure about this one.) Quick Draw McGraw. Snagglepuss. (caused me no end of trouble learning left from right.) definitely, Boo Boo. (Yogi usually put a “Sir” on the end of it in his best Sgt. Bilko voice.) the abominable snowman from Bugs Bunny and Daffy Duck cartoons. (i remember only a couple of them.) Foghorn Leghorn.

Sylvester’s son, uh Jr.?

With a bag over his head! LOL Just like Mua in one of my avatars!

Hey Terry, and Mopar you guys like cars right! So how about Speed Buggy, see I even thought of you guys and didn’t want to leave you out.

Whoa camel, Whoa Camel!!!…When I say WHOA!, I…mean..WHOA!!!

yyyguy You’ve got a good memory! These go back a long time, don’t they? I would have watched them in black and white even, if I had to.

Yosemite Sam??

WOW a lot of posts in the time it took me to type up my guesses. good for a chuckle. anyhow, time to check out the EPL Soccer before my MLS game starts. Might make it back late tonight, might not. Depends on how good the party is (in RL). TTFN.

Ladywolf–I don’t know those, I’m afraid. Maybe they are newer? They sound good though.

yes Shika. Yosemite Sam. (One of my favourite foils for Bugs EVER)

Thunderbirds are GO!

Here’s an easy one:

THA, THA, THAT’S ALL F-F-F-FOLKS!

I need to go now! Before my brain goes on over-ride so I’ll catch up with you all later.

I used to live for Saturday morning.

Sufferin’ sucatash! Awright you wascally wabbit! I tawt I taw a puddy tat! I yam what I yam.

one more thing before i leave. cleo mentioned Thunderbirds earlier. I watched a bit of that as a child, but much preferred Supercar, Stingray, and especially Fireball XL5! (now i’ve got the theme running through my head. “I wish I was a Spaceman, the fastest guy alive. I’d fly across the universe, in Fireball XL5….”) really have to fly now. bye tribe!

Sylvester Elmer Fudd Tweety Popeye

HMM. I must have taken a left turn in Albuqueque.

What did that funny little alien with the helmut used to say, Rad?

one for RAD to try. “i feel like pesky little beevair, ha ha ha.”

Remember the Tasmanian Devil? He didn’t speak, but I remember he got married to

Marvin the Martian? …Oh, drat, I’m afraid I’m going to have to disentigrate you.

the illudium Q36 explosive space modulator! that earth creature has stolen it!

or perhaps, you’re making me very angry. very angry indeed

Radical-Knight said, 2 minutes ago I used to live for Saturday morning.

Me too Rad, me too.

Bye, yyyguy! Have a good day.

last one. what were Bullwinkle’s school colours?

Tasmanian Devil talking to Bugs Bunny. That not rabbit, YOU rabbit. Why you try to fool me?

is this what the tribe means by “doing a SHIKA?”

LOL, You guys are great. I’d forgotten those lines. Marvin the Martian, LOL

Be vewy vewy qwiet… I’m huntin bunny wabbits Hahahahaha.

Hey, did you pull a Shika yyyguy? :-D

Rad Will my back up take longer if I am on here?

I don’t remember Bullwinkles favorite or school colors but his almamatre was Whats-a-Matta U.

UH, gold and purple? (School colours)

Pesky little beaver…. I’m drawing a blank on that one.

Ah, Tasmanian Devil did talk, just not in full sentences. LOL

Elmer Fudd again.

yyyguy Yes. I usually say I’m going and then I come back as though I never left. So much, that is now called, “Pulling a Shika”

Don’t even ask about a “Shika Curve” LOL

@Rad: for the “beevair” quote, he was a French Canadian version of Yosemite Sam, named Black Jacques Shellac, (the roughest, toughest, muk luk-est canuck in the whole North West!) in the cartoon where Bugs kept trying to shower under a waterfall while Jacques kept damming the river. Bugs (of course you know, this means WAR!) then built a series of dams, ever farther up stream as Jacques kept destroying them, until he fired his cannon at “Grand Cooler Dam” and was taken away for a 30 year jail term.

Beaver, me too, except for “Leave it to Beaver”- not a cartoon though.

**WHATTSA-MATTER U” LOL

I went ot HEY! U

the school colours were only mentioned in one episode, and are my all-time favourite trivia answer! are you ready?

Pomegranate and Puce

definitely bye, now. P&L All.

I really wish I could watch some of those old cartoons again. The new ones just aren’t the same. Does anyone else wish they could have wandered around in the Flintstones house?

serenasakitty, since i’m almost a dead ringer for Fred, the answer is, “Yes.”

OMG yyyguy! I’d forgotten Black Jaques Shellac, the Quebecois addition to Bugs Bunny. How could I forget him? LOL

Pomegrante and Puce? Well, Purple and Gold aren’t far off, LOL!

More like Red and icky, dirty gold though.

I liked teh flintstones kitchen and household appliances. Critters that talked after being used as a can-opener, vacum cleaner or trash-compacter.

Rad- I guess, I’d better get going. This backup is going to take a while, and I should get out and run errands before the day disappears. See you later tonight maybe? Much later, I’m afraid.

It’s been fun reminiscing though!

Have a good day!

BBML

Remember when Fred and Barney would sit out back near the fence smoking Winston cigarettes for a cigarette commercial?

Darn- Hi Serena!

Did you have to mention the Flintstones? LOL I loved them. I think I watched them at noon long into my 30’s whenever I was home. Until they stopped showing them anyways.

Yes, I’d love to be in their home.

Doc- What were you saying about cartoons, LOL?

yyyguy , go to your home page, and click on profile. Click on edit profile. That should give you a box where you can remove yyyguy, and put in something else of your choice.

Yeah, rad Remember Betty and Wilma shouting, “CHAR-R-RGE IT!””

And all the movie stars that came to visit, expecially later?

Rock Hudson, Cary Granite, that female singer, Olivia-Newton John.

Hi Marg I love your avatar today.

How has your day been, marg?

I haven’t watched TV on over 6 Years. I have no Idea what is or isn’t on TV anymore. The closest to TV I get is what’s at the restaurant up in the corner or on the wall.

Rad Now that I have a computer, I’m glad I don’t watch T.V. I’d never get anything done. LOL

I never thought I’d see the day that I’d eat in front of a computer, but, living alone, I either do that, or read something while I eat. I get bored just eating with nothing to occupy my mind. don’t know why.

when I’m with friends, of course, I don’t need to be entertained, LOL

Well, I’m going for another toon cruise

ABudeh-ABudeh That’s All Folks!

Bye RAD I’m heading off, and I won’t pull another Shika, I promise!

Actually Shika! the cartoons I listed are not new at all.

Hi, Shika! Thank you. I joined Akenta’s football league today. :-)

It’s a slow day today, so I think that i’ll sit back and read a book for awhile.

Just a fly-by.

Maybe they aren’t new, but we didn’t have them in Canada. I only watched Canadian channels, which carried Warner Bros., Hannah-Barbera and MGM- maybe one or two other cartoon productions. And Walt Disney, of course.

The rest may have not made it up here, I don’t know.

BBL

Have a good sleep DOC !!

Sorry I missed you marg

BBagainL

To quote Woody Woodpecker, “Guess who?!” That’s right, it’s me!! With some great news!

What’s the great news Josh1360

You don’t have wait until the holidays to see me! I’ll be here on the weekends. My boss at the retail store told me starting next week that the store I work at will limit their business days to five days a week instead of six!

That is indeed great to hear Josh.

As for me I come on when I want to.

That’s great Josh!

Hi Tribe,

I have been reading the posts and doing some reminiscing today.

Does anyone remember these?

Howdy Doody, Tugboat Annie, Roy Rogers and Dale Evans, I Love Lucy, Ozzie and Harriett, Lassie and Maggie Muggins were not cartoons but they were children’s programs that showed after school when I was a child. My sister and I would walk over to my aunt’s home to watch since she was the only one we knew who had a tv set for the first year or so when tv came to Calgary. Before that we went to the movie theatre on Saturday and, for a nickle, saw all the old series - Texas Rangers, Buck Rogers, The Lone Ranger, Captain Marvel, Three Stooges, Mighty Mouse, Bugs Bunny, and others at the matinee.

Those were the Days

Hi DAWN I can’t stay, but I remember most of those.

THOSE WERE THE DAYS, INDEED! My sister didn’t watch as much as I did though. I loved the childrens shows.

Did you ever watch the Friendly Giant, or Captain Kangaroo? I think I had a crush on those guys, LOL

I thought Rusty and Jerome were so smart too. How about the Polka Dot Door?

Got to get back to RL for a few hours.

BBL

ZZZZZZZZZZZIP!!

So talking about cartoons then and now? Don’t bother to ask my cousin Tink any old cartoon shows, She was born in the early 1990’s She only know cartoons like “Ducktales”! Me, I’ve seen cartoons like “Milton The Monster”, “The Mighty Heroes”, “The Super Six”, “The Herculoids”, “Wacky Racers”, you name ‘em, I’ve seen them! Over a half century of toons I’ve watched and I haven’t stop yet!

dawn the only one I don’t remember is Maggie Muggins. Do you remember Sky Ranger? or Flicka? Rin Tin Tin? The Hathaways?

Yes, Shika, I do remember the Friendly Giant, and Captain Kangaroo. I even watched them with my kids until they went off the air. The Friendly Giant was Canadian so I imagine the others won’t know it - except perhaps DF. And Dry, I also remember Sky Ranger, My Friend Flicka and Rin Tin Tin? In fact my eldest son watched Rin Tin Tin in French when we were in Quebec. He couldn’t understand French but sure understood the program along with the Australian Skippy le Kangaroo.

Maggy Muggins was a very early tv program - probably before you two were born - I don’t know if it was Canadian or not but I do remember the little girl skipping around the Mr Magillicutty’s garden. I used to remember the theme song. Maybe it will come back to me.

Oops - it was Mr Magarrity’s garden and it was a Canadian show put out by the CBC - just looked it up. Now, who was Mr Magillicutty?

And Shika, my sons both loved The Polka Dot Door! It was a good children’s show too.

Most of the cartoons that i have seen , were from my dad’s old vhs collection, and also from watching the Boomerang channel on cable tv.

how about Flipper or Gentle Ben great classic shows that don’t come on tv anymore.

Those were good shows too, *LW* and your recent low keyed on topic comments are appreciated.

Josh I was born in the early 1990”s as well but can remember lots of those shows due to the good old days of the vhs tapes that my dad has. There buried now in our attic somewhere in boxes.

Josh does that mean that Tink would remember cartoons like Pokemon. That was so popular when I was little.

I can remember collecting the Pokemon cards as a little girl, and battling with my friends with them. That’s why I asked, Josh.

Thank you Dawn.

Dawn I remember Maggie Muggins, and I read the books too. Mr. Mcgarrity was a neighbour, I think.

How about Mr. McGOO? With the big glasses. He was almost blind.

I remember a Mr. McGillicutty, but from where, I forget.

Was there a farmer Brown on T.V? Or is that just in Peter Rabbit books.

Yes, LW. I agree with DAWN You’re showing good social skills. Takes some of us a lifetime to learn, so you are doing well.

Blu Falcon And Dynomutt, and Captain Caveman, Oh and also The Pink Panther cartoons.

And come on guys! how can you forget about Betty Boop.

I remember the Pink Panther cartoons.

Wow. Betty Boop’s OLD, isn’t she? My mom remembers her! ;-D

Dawn, and Shika your words are very encouraging and well appreciated.

Oh, she used watch “Pokemon” until she got sick of those idiots on that show called “Team Rocket”! We watched mostly Disney. Nickelodeon, and Time-Warner shows. In the old days of analog TV, we only had three networks and PBS (NET in the early days).

I hate to have to leave! but I got to go and feed my pets because there giving me that solemn I’m hungry look.

RAD You mentioned Fred and Barney smoking near the fence for a cigarette commercial. They cut those segments out for Canadian T.V.

One funny thing I remember is tuning into an American channel several years ago to watch Bugs Bunny and Elmer Fudd. They censored all the violence out, so there was hardly anything left. Good thing I knew the original cartoon. Our’s weren’t censored, from ehat I recall.

I mean, what they have now is far more violent and realistic.

But the intention was good. Just misguided, in general.

BBL I have some calls to make.

Well that’s it for me. It’s been a pleasure strolling down memory lane with you all. See you again sometime.

I’m Baaaaack!!!!

Hello Tribe

Football practice is over, our team won at pool. all I need to do is eat and spend the remaining evening with some friends!!

You guys went totally yappy while I was gone. My, my! And all the old cartoon titles. Brings back all kinds of memories indeed! We were doing that when I left!!

I’m back! I sure have missed those today that had to leave early or have not been on today. My heart goes out to you all and hopes to see you well.

Did you have a nice nap doc!

We missed you Terry! welcome back.

Doc—As usual, if I miss you when you leave, have a good evening. I will have to step out in a little while, so just in case?!

Wow we are all busy, and yet can still find time to communicate. Life sure is good when you can manage to sit back catch your breath and mingle with friends.

HEY DOC sorry I missed your wake up call!! Bet you missed me, didn’ you?? :-D

Hey Terry What’s shakin? LOL

I have been getting my files backed up since before noon. Is it normal to take so long? This happened last time and it was on all night. I finally stopped it- and it said that the backup was interrupted.

I want you all to know that I’m grateful for all that you’ve done for me.

You help encourage me to stick with my writing.

And you helped me realize what a total ditz I was, when ever I was way out of control.

You could have easily flagged me, but you didn’t. That means a lot to me. You all are truly wonderful people, and even though this is an internet forum, I am truly blessed to have friends like you.

I’m on the phone with my mom, so I can’t chat, but I’m here.

shika you may have too much stored on your computer. Check how much disk free space you have.

Shiaka You also may have some unnecessary programs on there. I had the Weather Channel on my desktop and my son told me to get rid of it. My computer was much faster after that. I bookmarked it instead and can go there to get the weather. I thought it was a neat little gadget so I installed it, ended up uninstalling.

Dry–How are you, beautiful

Shika–Hey thare, Sweet Thang!!!

Shika this is only a guess, but being that a computer has a lot of files and also depending on it’s speed it would probably take all night for it to complete the back up files.

but then what do I know, I’m not that well educated on computers yet.

’puter problems? Yeah we KNOW doc!

DOC- It sort of goes chunka, chunka, ping, ping, kerputz.

Hey Terry!

Doc–I looked up Looney Tooney in the dictionary. There were two entries.

Looney Tooney– (1) See Dry (2) See Shika

Dry welcome back I missed you.

Be back in a bit! I have an IM popping up.

(((((Dry)))))

Backups on ‘puters should not take all that long. When I back up mine it takes about 10-15 minutes but I don’t do anything else during that time. Everytime you do something it is a new entry that the backup needs to configure, so to speak.

Terry Shika I like you, but I don’t post one word posts. Now that is LOONEY TOONS! ROFLMAO terry cut me a break, PLEASE!!! LOL

doc I’ll grant you that, I could do it if I took the time to figure it out!

Doc—LOL I second the “we love those those loony toony girls”!

What?

When?

Where?

Who?

Oh where oh were can my UnderDog be?, Go, Go Gophers watch them go, go go. Here come the Cornael(sp) and his Sargent both are a Roaring and a’charging *Kill the rabbit! Kill the RABBIT! KILL THE RAABBIIITTT!!

That’s the only ones which come to mind which I don’t recall from the last 5.5 pages. I lived for Saturday’s too. I’m always humming theme songs.

I agree totally about loving girls Doc, that’s what has always got me into trouble!

Dry What do I do at this point? I have 857 gb free of 8.72 gb on the factory image. I have 213 GB free of 289 GB on my compaq “C”.

Doc We Canucks have Looneys and Tooneys! That’s why I’m a Looney Tooney!

:-D

Terry I asked Rad earlier if being on here was slowing the backup down, but he didn’t answer!

Now you tell me.

Should I log off?

I was off the computer for 30 hours after the walk down Looney Lane.

That’s Microsoft-speak.

Walk SOFTLY and carry a BIG MEMORY STICK! LOL!

Hee-hee. Sometimes I kill myself.

Peanut gallery anyone?

Hi Quaby! I saw you earlier, but forgot to say hi.

Doc Is Titten okay? If she sounds like that when she’s backed up, that’s not a good sign! LOL

I’m back! And come to think of it the abominable snowman that always wanted a rabbit for a pet and ended up with Daffy Duck for the most part or should I say George as he would love him, and hug him and squeeze him an those petting that he gave to poor Daffy which would shoot Daffy’s neck out. You all know what I’m talking about right!

That’s okay Doc Mua’s a big boy. I don’t even want to tell you what he sounds like when he’s backed up! LOL

Okay, enough childish humour here.

What about Casper, the Friendly Ghost? I liked those cartoons too.

Saturday morning, Test Pattern, First show? Kaptain Kangaroo!

Did I say hello to you Terry?

Hi Terry!!

Well as they say in broadcasting way back when, the old clock on the wall says it’s time to go. So Until tomorrow at somewhere around the early AM, this Josh1360 saying that all of my time. I thank you all so much for your time. Happy trails to you (Until we meet again).

Oh my. My memory’s gone like my computer.

It’s my turn to go again because I need to work on a continuing story for Pibgorn tonight. So thanks for having me here.

bye bye, and see you later.

Sorry Shika I was stuck on the other page, Didn’t see where you asked me a question. If you’re doing anything on a computer, making backups, updating a screen, typing, etc… you’re using memory. shut downeverything you don’t need to make you’re backups run faster with less interruption. I run mine at night when I’ve gone to bed.

Ditto on that ‘puter sense, Rad

Rad Early Morning Test Pattern? YOU REMEMBER THAT? YOU’RE OLD MAN!!! (I REMEMBER THAT TOO!!) ROFLMAO!!!

“IT’S A BEUATIFUL DAY IN THE NEIGHBORHOO, IT’S A BEAUTIFUL DAY IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD… … .”

Remember that one? If you had kids and brought ‘em right, you should!!

RL calls. BBL

Hello, Dry, Rad, Shika, Doc and of course Terry! I liked “Magic Drawing Board” on Captain Kangaroo.

If memory serves the broadcast day began with that poem/prayer about the jet pilot who flies up. reaches out and touches the face of God.

The day ended with the National Anthem, fade to static.

So, with the National Anthem playing I fade my computer to static and will see you guys tomorrow. I will sneak in before morning to stash come Krispy Kreams on the table for breakfast.

Goodnight and God Bless (quick, who said that?)

Quaby Red Skelton!!!

Yea, Dry! I’ve been trying to remember who said that.

P&L, Doc!

Bye Doc, Hi Carmy How are you?

Hi Dry! I am doing okay. How are you doing?

Carmy Not bad, had better days, if you get my drift!

I do get your drift. I’ve had better days too. Hopefully our days will get better really soon.

Hello all. It has been a busy day for me and will be tomorrow as well. Rad had you guys going on the toon parade today.

Dry

I think you need a hug.

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

Hi Cleo!

Carmy HUg you back!! You got it girl!

(((((((((((((((((((Carmy))))))))))))))))))

Hey CLEO

(((((((((((((CLEO))))))))))))))

carmy

Are you going on that road trip?

carmy - Hello sweetie. I am in the middle of a busy time. We have been painting a bedroom, that my wife’s daughter painted in very dark colors and it is a dark room to begin with. So at least to coats of primer before painting, plus she painted the trim the same color. We also have company and will get more on Wednesday. I will be posting much less often over the next two weeks.

CleoSay NOT SO, MY DEAR FRIEND!!!! :-(

I give up. My backup hasn’t budged in over an hour. Last time I left it like that at night, it was the same in the morning. But when I stopped it, it kept trying to restart the backup!

AAAAARRGGHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I had it set on 3:00a.m. in the morning, but something screwed up in May and I turned the auto backup off. I just remembered it today. Why, oh why?

Cleo, I hope you have fun visiting with your company because I know you’re not having fun painting. Please join us whenever you can as we will miss your streaking through here. ((((((((((((Cleo))))))))))))))))

I feel for you cleo, having company for two weeks can be tiring.

Shika why don’t you try a restore on your computer, back before you weren’t having problems. It should be safe, with my computer it is. Read what it says if you try that. If it says your data will be saved maybe you should try that. But don’t sue me if it doens’t work. I know some things, but not all!

Quaby Our test pattern played “God Save the Queen” in the morning and I think that and “O Canada” at night. I loved waiting for the test pattern!

I’m told I walked in my sleep as a child and once was found sitting in front of the stereo fiddling with the knobs and talking to my friends on the “T.V.”

I probably shoudn’t admit to doing that, LOL!

Dry Will you lend me your computer if something goes wrong? LOL all my work is on this baby.

Do I stop the backup regardless now, and then try the restore? It’s almost midnight, and I have to get up early tomorrow morning. :-(

BYE Doc! Hope you have a good night at work.

cleo We’ll miss you for two weeks. Wah! I’ll be about ready to go back to school and then I won’t be on here much at all myself.

Wah!

I think I must be overtired or too hot here.

The sandman doth cometh and mine eyes are gritty. To bed hence I must not tarry but be quick to seek…

I have no idea what that was but I think my mind just went

PHRAPTH!!!

Goodnight Tribe until the morrow (NOW CUT THAT OUT!)

Good Night friends. If you don’t see me again, you’ll know that my system restore backfired.

Peace and Love.

Shika, something has to be wrong with your backup. It shouldn’t take that long. Does it ask you for a disk?

Dry

roadtrip has been postponed.

Rad (You expected this, so quit-yer-b*tchin’) Either the “sandman cometh”, or the “sandman doth come” but he can’t do both! LOL

:-P

Goodnight Rad!

Shika, I’m waiting for you to pull a shika.

carmy It asked for one disk, and then I went groceryshopping. I don’t think it asked for another, but I’ll check. wouldn’t there still be a request for a third disk if it needed one?

Hurry! I’m going to bed any minute. I’m fed up.

Too late carmy I already did.

I can’t even turn off the backup now. It has a mind of it’s own. This is what happened in May too. that’s why I left it on all night. :-(

SHIKA SHUT THE D A M N COMPUTER OFF COMPLETELY AND GO TO BED!!! MAYBE WITH ANY LUCK IT WILL BE FINE IN THE MORNING! (OR NOT)

Sorry Shika, I’ve had a rough day and couldn’t resist! You were the last one left to rag on!

Sorry I missed you Shika. Unplug it if you have too. Tomorrow, when you have the time, try the backup again. Don’t leave, watch the backup and see if it asks you for another disk or if it alerts you about something in regards to the disk that you put in. It may need to be formatted or maybe it is full and you need a new disk.

Shika & carmy - It seems as if you both are still around. Just finished watching our movie of the evening. Thank you for your consideration on my soon to be lack of participation coming up. I know that I will suffer withdrawal as I have my visitors. I may be able to post a few posts here and there. At least I have those intentions.

Dry - I am glad that I missed your wrath.

Dry you said: “IT’S A BEAUTIFUL DAY IN THE NEIGHBORHOO, IT’S A BEAUTIFUL DAY IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD… … .” Wasn’t that a great show for kids? My bil didn’t like the fact that Mr. Rogers was a gentle man so wouldn’t let his girls watch. I think it showed more about his own insecurities. My boys loved it - far more than Sesame Street that moved too quickly and seemed to make kids hyper.

Cleo, I too will miss your comments. BTW how do you store blackberries? Washed or unwashed? Ours are just ripening so I’m planning to pick starting tomorrow. Of course we’ve had several treats while on walks and they aren’t washed…

dawn Fred Rogers was a kind and gentle man, good father, wonderful husband, warm and caring God fearing man. And his show was so instructional! He was a GOOD MAN!!

Cleo What wrath??? LOL

I SAID “SAY NOT SO” THAT WE WOULDN’T SEE YOU MUCH, TURD!! I USALLY RESERVE THAT “TURD” COMMENT FOR JFrI BUT TONITE YOU FIT THE BILL!!!

Dawn - I don’t know about anybody else, but my wife and I eat berries all year long. We freeze a lot of fruit. Berries like raspberries and strawberries and black berries, we stick on a baking sheet in rows with the berries not touching. We stick them in the freezer and allow them to freeze, then we put them in freezer bags. With blueberries we just put fresh blueberries in freezer bags as they are.

Dry,I agree completely and so does my husband who has a similar temperament, and we argued the point with my brother-in-law very regularly. But then, my bil is a strange character.

TURD!?!

Thanks, Cleo, But do you wash the blackberries first? or leave them as they are?

Uh oh! Dry and Cleo, please return to your neutral corners.

QUICK ON THE UPTAKE EH CLEO? ROFLMAO!!!

dawn I know what you mean! Some peoples minds can’t be changed no matter how wrong they are, so I just give up and figure they are jerks, and let the chips fall where they may!

Carmy

WHERE IS THE FUN IN THAT? HUM? JUST TELL ME WHERE?

Dry you’ve got it. But I usually can’t give up - too stubborn, I guess. Wish I could.

We grow most of our own berries, but even those that we don’t , we do not wash. We probably should, but we don’t. But, like I said, most of our berries are our own. We supplement our supply on blueberries by buying locally. This is the first year where our blueberries have been supplying a lot of fruit, but still not enough to get us through the winter.

Yeah, you can’t argue with a maniac yac yac yac yac!

BB asap.

Carmy i may be gone by then!

Dry - You be gone a long time ago. LOL

Thanks - I don’t think I’ll wash them - they grow along the path we walk when going to town so aren’t polluted - just washed by the rain. Thanks Cleo!

Dawn - Blackberries that grow along the side of a path are fine. If you are picking them on a dirt road with lots of traffic, you might want to rinse them, but we have plenty in areas only associated with foot traffic and we never even think of washing them.

Cleo Yes I should have been gone a long time ago, but I’m all wound up, So I’m still here!!! LONG day, lots of emotions!

Dry - Are you all wrapped up in “kid” emotions?

DRY

Hey Dry, I hope the banter here has helped.

((((Dry!))))

Dry - It is tough having your kids go out into the world.

CleoThank you, my Friend!!!

(((((((((((((((CLEO)))))))))))))))

Thanks Cleo we don’t if we’re eating them while on the walk and don’t bother with the ones on dusty roads. Just wondered about when freezing so you have saved me a lot of time.

Dry - I meant to have my big letter Dry encased by hugs, but I screwed up so…

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