Big Top by Rob Harrell for September 04, 2009

PLEASE DON’T TELL ME I’M FIRST!! JFRI YOU ARE PARTLY TO BLAME, SO HELP MAKE BREAKFAST, TURD!!!

I wonder what poodle meat tastes like, chicken, maybe?

JFRI, YOU TURD!!! GET YOUR BUTT OVER HERE, NOW!!!

Hello all. I find it unusual to understand that people have a difficult time grasping onto the concept of people getting together on a great comic strip and just reveling in the fact that people can have a good time and become friends through conversation and listening to another person’s opinion and respecting it. Life is about trust and some people believe in trust and others try to bypass it. I love Big Top and the friends that I have made here. Everyone is welcome, you can do here what you wish, but if you want friendship you have to approach people with an open heart and an attitude that is accepting. Everyone can post and everyone has a choice as to whether they want to answer a post or move on. It is a shame if you do not see the benefits of making friends.

Cleo WELL SAID My dear FRIEND! WE are friends and if people have trouble understanding that, that is their problem, not ours!

bigg, Bless you! I will have a steak and a chicken taco on those yummy homemade corn tortillas!

Good Morning Tribe!

Cleo, very well said, kudos to you!

Since Dry seems dazed by breakfast, I will offer apple, cilantro sausages with poached eggs on toast.

And since we’ve said that, and it’s JFri’s fault I’m first, and he slipped out the back door, what should I feed the hungry multitude, which so far is just me and you!! LOL!

Scrambled eggs with green and red peppers, onions, and monterey jack cheese mixed in, Canadian bacon, Jimmy Dean sausage links, pancakes with Vermont maple syrup, fresh blueberries and honeydew melon, and for drinks, Choclate milk, V8 , cranberry juice, apple juice, Earl Grey tea, doc’s coffee,

What else Cleo?

I want to wish you all a pleasant good morning.

“Morning tribe. Dry I’ll help out with coddled eggs and homemade, toasted multigrain bread and freshly made blackberry jam.

Ladywolf I commented to you on last night’s page so as to have a fresh start today. Hope you read it.

You have covered it Dry. A breakfast fit for just about any desire.

Dry, HA HA, and YUM! I’ll have some scrambled eggs.

Cleo, nice post, and I’ll have some poached eggs, too.

Ouch! Dusty you had better watch out. Hermit crabs must hurt!

ladywolf, I asked you a question on last night’s page. I’m waiting for your answer.

Dawn, thank you for your post on yesterday’s board.

Poor Wink! No wonder he’s so crabby.

Oh that was a sneaky ahaha, Carmy!

Ouch! okay that hurt a little bit Carmy. I don’t have any alter ego names. I’m just ladywolf17. now, and forever.

Carmy What do you mean, “Bless you”? My post posted late, after biggs I didn;t think my breakfast sounded so bad, although *biggs sounds better! Hey I was caught off guard!! I went to the page and saw ZERO comments and KNEW I was in trouble!!! ROFLMAO

No ouch was intended, just looking for an honest answer.

Prevarication rules, I see…. We all value honesty here.

Ladywolf Why not just answer the question? Seems easy enough to me!

Good night everone.

Dry, your breakfast was really good too! It was the Tex/Mex in me that drooled over the tacos.

Carmy Yea yea! I said I was caught off guard, and the reason was becasue SOMEONE (who will remain nameless) was supposed to be here! . Figure out who it is yet? ROFLMAO!!

I will add rattlesnake omelets (really Dingeness crab but rattlesnake just sounded sooooo cool!).

Good one here

Hey JFri–Really good to see ya man!!!

JFri I hear they taste like chicken… Want some dark chocolate? I have 10, count ‘em, 10 bars.

OH yeah, now you show up! * TURD!!* You do realize it’s 2 AM here, and I have to be crazy!! I have to get some sleep!

TerryLonewolf, now I feel like partying! Love Sly!

‘Night, bigg.

Good Night bigg!!

JFri - My party was a bust, but I do have a full bottle of Bookers. Oh… I guess we can just save it for another party.

How’s this for timing

Everything that’s different tastes like chicken all of a sudden. My uncle used to try that stuff with me on rabbit and snakes. Weirdest chicken i ever ate!!!

Cleo–Why was your party a bust???

Glad I didn’t link on Sly! I love him too, margI I’m “running on empty, Moving on” so I may as well drain my tank! I hope I don’t pay for it tmr! LOVE YOU GUYS!!

And now where did JFri go to dagnabit??

Marg I think I would have bought at least 30 at that price.

I looooooove chocolate!

Good Night Dry!

You’re special lady!

((((((((((Dry))))))))))

Dry - To many distractions my friend. By the way, what are you still doing up sweetie?

No, Marg! Tastes more like Wookies!

No, Marg! Tastes more like Wookies!

Well, I will take a hunk of dark chocolate and head to bed. JFri, you know where the glasses are and the Booker’s is on the counter. Good night Dry.

Ouch Marg! I don’t have alter ego names and I stand by what I say. Now I’m off to bed and I wish you all a pleasant morning.

Alright I’m off to Zzzzzzzzzzland also and I’ll only say it once and not come back to comment again only to have to say good night again. Well you all know what I mean.

Good Night Cleo, JFri, Marg, Dawn & Carmy!

Good Night Tribe! P&L ALL

Dawn it’s Lindt dark chocolate, yum!

Goodnight, my friends. You on the East coast especially need some sleep!

Good morning and Happy Friday!!

WAKE UP MOPAR

Dry thanks for the breakfast. I guess I’ll add in the grits since it’s Friday

((DRY))

MoPar was hard to get up this morning. At least it’s a 3-day weekend. I think our tribemates in Canada also have Monday off.

cleo left you a note @Adam :-p

I wonder if Wink made it to Cleveland, Mars as someone suggested yesterday or if he’s really dog meat now. I guess we’ll have to stay tuned!

Deposit into the tribal bank and I’m off to make rounds.

☼ ♫ ♪ ♥ ∞

Good Morning, from the Enchanted Meadows just of us here to Yukonneric, Akenta, Joy, MoPar, Tabby, Marg, TerryLonewolf, Carmy, our newest member Dora Dingle, and of course my dear cousin Josh.

Good Morning Everyone! 3 day weekend, YEA!!!

Good Morning too from south Florida! It’s the start of the Labor Day weekend, also known as the unoffical end of summer. Of couse, we all know it ends 2 weeks from this coming Tuesday. But if you live anywhere south of Florida, summer has no end to which I’m gald I left Arizona eight years ago and came here!

Good Morning Tribe!

It is Friday and it is a 3-day weekend for most!!

Good Morning Akenta & Mopar!

Last day at work for the week!!!

Dry—I know you’ll be here shortly. Nice breakfast layout. I’ll have the scrambled eggs and canadian bacon with Nuked coffee!!

(((((Good Morning Dry)))))

(((((Good Morning Carmy)))))

I don’t see anyone else awake that’s here now and I don’t have a copy and paste list. If I did miss anyone……………

Good Morning All!!

(((((((Good Morning Terry!)))))))

Good Morning All!

I’m off to my toonland merry-go-round!

Round and round I go In a spin, lovin’ the spin I’m in Under the old black magic called love

Must be the coffee Doc—Three cups already and aged!!

Good Morning DF!

My O My ! Friday’s start to a 3-day weekend ! Sun-Rain-Sun-Rain-Sun-Rain-Fun-Rain-Sun-Rain !!!

Good Morning all. For all of you working Tribe members, I know how much a 3 day break from work means, so I hope that you all relax, party, get wild, read a book, take a hike, or in general, just do what makes you happy.

Good Morning RedHatt & Cleo!

Cleo–I want to get a couple of things done here at the house and out in the garage. I’m going to do them early so that I’m free for the party. Yesterday/last night asked why your party did not go over well???!

Morning TLWolf

Well back to the grindstone…… anyone know a good treatment for nose abrasions?….. :()¦

Cleo are you telling me to take a hike? LOL IF I’m here late tonight, MAKE ME GO TO BED EARLY, GUYS!!

Thanks for the hugs, and I forgot to thank *bigg and cleo for helping with breakfast, and I guess I should thank JFri** too for his tiny contribution! :-D

Akenta - I am sorry that we always forget to make you grits.

Terry - To much emotion for a party yesterday.

Dry - You and JFri were at the Bookers last night weren’t you? Now WHO could ever make you do anything, least of all go to bed.

Cleo–I wasn’t sure if you had a real party last night or if you were talking about the virtual parteeeee! I understand now of course!!

Dry–Then we need to start early, dear. It wouldn’t be the same without you.

I’m off for some RL chores and will check back from time to time. P&L TRIBE

Terry thank you! Cleo WE WERE NOT IN THE BOOKERS! HONEST! ;-)

Yep, sure Dry, a full bottle of Bookers within reach of JFri and he left it alone. Oh what a tangled web we weave…

When first we practice to deceive? ROFLMAO

1

Pirate (sad) sighting over at Pearls Before Swine!

By the way, I had to laugh–a local paper told us (in the main head) that “Belfield moose sightings continue”. I just wonder: (1) Who put the moose at that site, and (2) How did they get them to stay?

chain ‘em to a tree?

Hi Tribe RL has been keeping me busy this week, so I haven’t been able to visit. Going to try a bit of “catch up” this morning, but I only have about an hour and a half, so I’ll just see how far I get. Will pop in and out to see what’s happening here, but it looks like I missed something between Wed. morning and now. I haven’t looked at yesterday, but by number of comments I probably won’t. Back soon.

yyyguy - Good Morning. Dern RL always interferes with everything doesn’t it. LOL

Hey, what’s this RL or “real life” you guys talk about??

Good morning folks. As an audiologist, I’ve seen many odd things in ears, but never a family of hermit crabs.

must have big ears! (or small crabs!)

spent the last (wow, almost an hour!) catching up on posts from yesterday and after i left the day before. i’m glad i started slowly on this strip’s comments. not that i’m shy, but i don’t like to push my way into a group that seems to know each other well (and that description fits the tribe). i’m glad to have been accepted by you all, and actually miss reading your commentary. next few comments will be brief and in regard to a couple of things read in the last day and a half.

last time i was on, here, something was mentioned about Peytoe Lake being beautiful, and Picassa being a good place to share photos. i haven’t had a chance to check that out yet, but i’ve put one of my photos of Peytoe Lake up as my avatar, as mentioned at that time.

as for parties, i will remember Mo Par’s birthday because it’s also a day that matters in my RL (though not as happy a one). my birthday has passed. it was August 10 but i felt too new here at the time to mention it (and didn’t want to be asking people i’d just “met” to have a party for me. besides. it meant i would have had to clean the place again! (housework is not my strongest suit)

time to try the toonland tour. won’t have much time tomorrow as it’s my niece’s 13th birthday. (i’m her godfather as well, and she loves me dearly, so, i couldn’t possibly let her down.) i’ll be around as much as i can, and hope to check in again before i get ready for work today. if not, peace and good feelings to everyone. and hugs for carmy, terry, and especially dry.

yyyguy

A very happy belated birthday to you!

In the Midwest, Labor Day weekend is considered to be the last gasp of summer, and people take to the highways deperately seeking one last nice weekend for camping or boating. Unfortunately, the weather does not always cooperate.

Nuclear coffee alerts: Crankshaft and Free Range!

Happy belated Birthday, yyyguy! **and a Happy Birthday to your niece on her 13th!!

Wishing everyone a safe, fun and/or productive weekend. And those who aren’t off work…don’t labor too hard.

P&L, all!

Good morning Carmy. I hope you got some sleep last night.

And Doc, it’s rare that I’m on the same time as you are. Glad to read that you had a good day yesterday.

Morning, tribe!

Doc - I was reminded of your coffee this morning. http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/comics/crankshaft.html

Again a good morning to all the Tribe!

Yguy Happy belated b’day! Hope it was a great one. We would have had a super party had we known. Next year!

Dry I promise that if I get back I will remind you to go to bed early. Now what is that? 2:00 am your time?

RMom, I cannot for the life of me see a problem on the last page. I read with every possible connotation - unless it was a description of DocT’s coffee.

Marg, I did get some sleep, in fact I overslept. It’s okay, just got a late start on my errands. Doc, glad you had some fun with your honey and family too.

Doctor Toon - Girlfriends man, they turn a guys world topsy-turvey. Get used to it my friend, it’s worth it.

BTW in Canada, the Labour Day weekend is much the same as in the States - a last wild ride before winter sets in. Dora, I envy you although I am in the best place in Canada - Vancouver Island. We only get a week or so of rain and November is the rainy month.

Dawn - Thanks for looking! I’ve decided I’ll just post the “1” as our code that I can’t see that page. Then, if anyone posts something on that page that they want me to see, they’ll know why I missed it. Otherwise, life is too short to let those little things ruin my day.

I wondered if the problem on page 2 had to do with someone catching bigg’s typo - leaving the “e” off, when he probably meant pulling out of here.

DoctorT - Work, one of man’s worst creations.

I’m happy to get to see all of you for a bit this morning. Dawn, I left you a chocolate bar. RRAMom, the ice cream flavors are: Double Strawberry, chocolate, and Banana Split. It’s Blue Bunny ice cream, so it’s very tasty.

Now, RL beckons, so I’ll probably be back much later. Have a good day, All.

Marg,

Thank you **Yummmmmmmmmm…

Marg - Thanks! Blue Bunny is delicious ice cream!

thanks for the belated birthday greetings, though that isn’t why i mentioned it. and DawnAvril, it is a good day every year. the one time when i get my whole family together at my place for a big visit. i live in a condo apartment and i usually wind up visiting them, but the yearly stress of getting the place uncluttered enough for company is worth it.

that said, RL is intruding once again! time to get ready for work. i’m still behind on crosswords and the comics i read on another site, so i’ll probably return around midnight EST.

consider it a warning if you must.

Wishing a good day to all, and let the party begin!

yyyguy Hats and horns to you! Sprinkles and cherries on top! Did I mention HAPPY BIRTHDAY ?

Carmy I sent you a present!

yyyguy happy belated birthday, and for your niece, an on time happy birthday. Thank you for the good wishes! Greatly appreciated!

bmonk with all that has been going on I am woefully behind on my other strips, thanks for the Crankshaft fix! I love that old crudgemugeon!

HELLO EVERYONE! from SHIKA.

She isn’t able to access her gocomics and asked me to relay her message. She also said I should help wake up Doc. So let me know when the times comes around for that.

Carmy You beat me! She asked me to say Hi too! And to doc TOOT!

Hey all; I’m taking a break from RL. Just a few minutes though. Don’t want to be catching up on a lot of posts during the party time!!

Yguy–If you’re still here Belated Happy Birthday wishes to you! If not I’ll tell ya later!

Dry–Woefully behind on your strips……….Hmmmmmm?

Terry yes, and my cleaning, which I must get to very soon!

WHOA TERRY!!! I just caught that! For shame, Mister!!

About time Dry!!!

Dry–Oh yeah……………………………….

Well I got to get back to the chores!! Ugh. BBL

Terry you STILL haven’t told me how to do that! And yeah, I’m slow, what do you expect! I haven’t stayed until 2AM just for fun since I was, several years younger!

I’m glad that wink is out of the hole.

Good morning, everyone. How are you all?

Requin At first I thought your picture was of the old Upstart Crow himself! LOL!

Dry, are you going to give that hug from Doc to Shika?

I had to leave suddenly earlier. Communication problems had me rushing out the door to pick up daughter #1 from school.

I’m am SO looking forward to this weekend!

Ma’at LOL!

@ladywolf, Wink may be out of the hole, but he’s still got some nasty crabs in his ears…

bmonk …better than somewhere else…

(oh my… did I say that?)

Time for wink to hunt down Dusty. You know with all this internet buzz about the chupacabra going on, I’ve seen the photos and all I can say is, that is no way a creature of myth. To me it is nothing more than a Mexican hairless dog, I’m not sure what the breed is called.

ladywolf They had something similar on MonsterQuest this week, and the so-called experts think it may be a new mutated form of monkey (if I recall correctly). Of course, it’s MonsterQuest, how reliable can it be? We were only watching to kill time until something else came on. It was interesting, though.

I don’t get around to watching T.V. that much, and probably won’t come Monday with school starting followed by work immediately afterwards. I’m lucky if I can even catch the news.

@Ma’at, yes you did. I wouldn’t know, never having had ear crabs or any other kind.

Except for soft-shell crabs in Maryland a couple of times…

bmonk Mmmm… We need a beach party this weekend! Dig a hole in the sand, steam seafood in it… set up chairs and blankets… One of my favorite places I want to get back to is Ogunquit, Maine. I went there as part of a sidetrip out of Boston almost 30 years ago, and always wanted to go back. Heck, now’s the time!

@Ma’at, are you saying I’m brilliant even when I don’t know it? LOL

Sometimes I think I’m either three years ahead of the curve–or ten behind.

Others just think I’m about 1200 years behind the times.

I’m supposed to help with the Doc wake-up, per Shika’s instructions. Will someone remind me when that will be, please?

@Carmy, isn’t it as soon as possible? ;-)

bmonk Ever read “A Canticle for Leibowitz”? You could be 1200 years ahead of your time! You shine, my brilliant friend, you shine!! (Please put a head covering on, it’s hurting my eyes… LOL! EDIT - or maybe it’s your shining personality!!))

bmonk, no, I don’t think it will be for awhile yet.

But can we practice now??

Tribe—Got to get ready for early FB practice. Will be back later. Save some fun for me!!

I’d say we could try a Dry run… but she’s not here yet! LOL

Dry, where are you? Do we need to wake up Doc?

(tentative kick on garbage can…)

We need JFri’s help, too!

Carmy Got your message, thanks! Will talk later

bye the way i am home. i just have two boys, a parking ticket, book recpits to find and orginize, and a very loud movie playing. ill be back when i can. love to the tribe.

I’ll be off and on throughout most of the day because I have company.

tabby Are you feeling better?

RL calls, BBL

Just dropping in to put my deposit in the bank. Not sure how much I’ll be on tonight. Probably be a big party night - I always seem to miss those. Hope everyone has a good time.

Hi Akenta Aren’t you going to stick around to wake up Doc?

HEY CLEO! I bought some Minneolas today! Guess what I’m drinking?

oh i just relized that i never answered that i was feeling better thanks all. now back out i go.

I AM SOOO SORRY I READ THE COMMENTS AT ADAM! THANKS A LOT CLEO!!! YOU SHALL PAY FOR THAT MY FRIEND!!

Akenta as you know, I’m not a big country fan, even though Tim McGraw is a hunk and a half, but I do so LOVE this song!!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=temaoKXSVxw

Who would of thought a Country Star and a Rapper could have come up with SUCH A GREAT SONG!!!*

Hey MoPar I’m cranking the songs up early!

Dry- Could you possibly be having a mimosa? If not that perhaps a vodka and OJ, but my thought is mimosa.

It was supposed to be a gray, rainy day . instead it was sunny and beautiful. We went to a country nursery, to a resort town for a lovely seafood lunch, an organic lamb & beef farm and home to sit on the deck in the waning sunlight. I love these “rainy” days.

I am trying to dop this from the football field with my laptop through my Blackberry. Here goes………………

ASL

Cleo - Dry’s having a … Bluuu -uuue MOOOOON

.. And when she looked the glass had turned to gold…. .. Now she’s no longer alone…

I’ll sy hi individually later to all Tribe Mates!! Too hard with this setup!!

Oh that’s right, i am mr. short term memory loss. I shall start out the music.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9UmmbF1Zyvk#

And he could go …all …the …way! Lonewolf Glad you could make it, but I’m at work and I’ll have to wait until I’m home to be able to access the link.

MoPar! Akenta! Hello!

It wasn’t supposed to be a busy day for me, but it was with a vengeance. I’ll try to come back on later tonight. Peace and Love to All.

It *is* ——

TIME TO LET YOUR HAIR DOWNhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iztgDOsAoig&feature=PlayList&p=504F7CC770719FAE&index=0

Terry I know what you mean. It’s difficult to list everyone even with a keyboard, so I’ll do this:

((((TRIBE))))

I hope no one minds my doing that.

If they mind, they haven’t mentioned it.

Well, I am sitting in front of my fire pit drink in hand and rocking out. I thought somebody said party!! Oh well, I am having fun.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=arpZ3fCwDEw&feature=channel#

Very good Ma’at! Blue Moon it is! Shame on you *Cleo** you should have known that! LOL

Cleo Back on the Chain Gang!!! LOVE that! One more to download, thanks my friend!!! Gets that gawd awful song out of my head from ADAM!!! LOL

Dry - Like I said mr. short term memory loss.

Cleo Dick Dale, got some SERIOUS guitar pickin’ goin’ on there!

going get cleaned up then out to eat. bbl

This is a laid back group tonight. Somebody sounded like they wanted to party. I have been trying to light a fire under this group, but so far … no luck. Where are you MoPar?

@tabby, anything promising? At least tell us what cusine…

OK, I’m back at the home 20 now!! Tomorrow is his first real game that counts in the standings. I hope they win!!

Tabby—Have fun at dinner, you deserve it dear!!

Dry–How’s your strips coming along??

(Holding hands over mouth so as not to laugh)

Terry I hope they win too! I know how it was when my youngest was playing basketball in the March Madness and summer leagues!

Cleo—What were we talking about again? LOL

I think I’ll pour myself a wee shot of Patron.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=orNpH6iyokI&feature=related#

Monk parties are rather laid back, for some reason…

*Cleo–

I am in cruise mode now.

This party is ready to rock. I am* *ready to* *rock!

Whoa Cleo!

My alltime favorite, Mr. Patron!!!!!!

Please pour me a double shot, Sir?!

Hello Mr. Bmonk–This no monk party either then!!

C’mon, don’t let me slow down now!! Where are you guys & gals at?

Terry - Finally somebody is ready to party. I have been trying to get something going for several songs now. A double Patron and a little Roy Rogers to go with it.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8rZVz3O47yo#

Here’s some refreshments for starters…………………….

And some more……………………………………

Cleo–That shore ain’t granpappy’s Roy Roger now is it?

I’ll drink to that.

And we gotta get some of this…………………………..

Terry ROFLMAO!!! AND YOU STILL HAVEN’T TOLD ME HOW YOU DO THAT! DO I HAVE TO GO ELSEWHERE FOR THE INFO???

CLEO I started the tunes early, when no one was around!

Terry - yeah steak time. Keep mine extra rare buddy.

And Terry covering your mouth so as not to laugh? Better use duct tape, that fixes EVERYTHING, don’t ’ cha know! From the Red Green fix it Encyclopedia!

Cleo & Dry–Keep the tunes going, I can’t do it all even if it is virtual!!! LOL

*DOC, I HAVE LEARNED HOW TO PLAY THE HARMONICA, AIN’T YOU LUCKY!!!! * TIME TO WAKE UP MISTER!!!!!!

Cleo–That’s easy, Ilike ‘em rare also. And not just the women, but my steaks too!!

Hey Doc, I let you sleep in for once!!!

Dry- That encyclopedia stole that entry from the military.

Terry you like rare women? Does that mean you have a hard time finding any??? ROFLMAO!

‘Bout time you got up sleeping beauty. Don’t figure I even need to address your name now, huh?!

Here’s a little song to kick us into a second gear.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zWD-0trigeg&feature=related#

Dry–You got an ‘armonica! Well, I’s just flabbergasted cause I jussen membered I gots a ekulele.

Yeah MoPar. Now we be rockin’.

Just got back - had some RL to take care of. Dawn - Page 2 isn’t blocked anymore, so whatever was setting off the filter isn’t there now.

I be the bar man. What’s your hootch MoPar?

MoPar - How about a little 126 proof Booker Noes’ bourbon. JFri may be disappointed, but he ain’t here.

*MoPar8 - here’s a little chaser for that bourbon.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OOVS14X3dfA#

Dry—Rare, juicy and hot!! Decipher that anyway ya want to!

Mopar - I don’t know about the van. I drove it home yesterday, parked it in the garage, and haven’t messed with it. I’m hoping with a 3-day weekend my hubby will have time to look it over at least, but I know better than to ask him to do stuff on Friday evening that can wait until Saturday. Especially when he helped me with a different problem this afternoon.

Mopar—You’ve got the bar my friend!

Oops, Cleo grabbed the bar!! Keep the DJ stuff going Mopar!!

Hi there RRAmom—Sorry I missed you lady!!

How *is* that van coming along?

Love the Who. Saw them in concert just before Keith Moon died.

I have a few hot wings and bleu before the steaks are ready. Dig in.

MoPar - I am in like Flynn, my man.

Hi Lonewolf! We’ve got enough vehicles in our family, that we’ve always got a “spare” to drive, so the van is just sitting for now.

RRAmom–Sounds like here. We have three drivers and 6 choices to drive!! Love it!

Here is a very dated video but a very good duet of guitar virtuosos. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GWw55XhTehg&feature=fvw#

I’ve found it a necessity to have at least one spare vehicle, since my hubby usually does the work on ours, which means it sits between the time it breaks or he tears it apart, and the time it takes to get the replacement part & install it. With all of our vehicles having more than 100K, and most having 200K+, it isn’t unusual to have one needing repair.

Terry & MoPar - This is going to slow things up a bit but I wanted you both to hear these two flamenco guitarists who have decided to play covers of heavy metal songs.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L0CsLefLisE#

You guys do know that the Who opens each episode of all the CSI’s Right? Except for Cleo who doesn’t watch TV anymore, ‘eh, Cleo?

I think I’m going to leave you guys to your cigars, booze & music. I’ve got some reading I need to do, for school. Good night!

Dry - You are right, no TV here for 5 years now, give or take.

Okay guys, YOU HAVE TO STOP THIS! I already have like a WHOLE LOT OF SONGS to download, and you are reminding me of songs I have forgotten, like Pipeline! I hate to check out the other links! Geez!! Cut me a break here!

But, my wife and I have been burning our way through the dvd’s of the first year of “House”. I am amazed at how many times my wife figures out the ailment of the week. She is good.

I love a good drink, a good cigar in front of the fire and good friends to enjoy them with. Here’s to Terry, MoPar and Dry.

Dry - Check out my last video post. They play all rock on their flamenco guitars, like “Stairways to Heaven”.

Hail, Hail Rock & Roll

Dry –It’s all about having fun dear!!

Hail Hail Rock and Roll! Does that make us old farts or what? But you know what, my 23 year old loves this stuff! He has a wide range of music inerests but this is one of them. He even has Simon and Garfunkel and the Beatles! I understand the younger generation is getting into the “OLD FOGEY” stuff!! And my youngest is into Dave Matthews and U2.

MoPar - a good night indeed & I am the night shift.

And I meant to say earlier, we need to FLAG *TERRY! Somehow I think he found JFri’s secret rum stash!! (AND NO, JFri, I DID NOT TELL HIM WHERE IT WAS, I SWEAR!!!)**

Dry - A lot of young people are embracing the music of our youth.

Well, if you wanna talk OLD, my son’s birthday is tomorrow and he is gonna be *34*!!!!

Now, granted I was a baby when he was born, but still………

and i have been enjoying a lot of the music of the newer generation, particularly the alternative music that originated in Seattle.

Cleo* that’s becasue they know GOOD music!!! At least my kids do! I about feel over the first time I heard some of the songs they were playing!

Cleo I love the new music. I love the Fray, Green Day, Cold Play, and a host of others! I like all kinds of music, except twangy country which I have said before. And I love jazz! and Benny Goodman, etc. The Commodores, Barry White, White Knight, the Bee Gees, Quincy Jones. Ever hear his Body Heat CD? LOVE THAT!

Dry - I too am into jazz, like Chet Baker, Miles Davis, John Pizzarelli, Diana Krall. I like the blues too. In fact I met my wife at an outdoor blues festival in the middle of Robbin Ford’s set.

Easy guys, you are all starting to worry me with this old age talk!!

I’m ready to order some scooters for ya’all!!!

Terry - Instead of scooters how about some shooters.

Dry - In no way a challenge to MoPar believe me.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gmw-F52kjjo#

Bookers is always available to my friends. Hey JFri join us my friend.

Cleo—More like “hooters”?!!

MoPar Thank you! My heart broke when Barry White passed away! There will never be another talent like his! *HE WAS THE BEST IN MY BOOK! *

Terry - I can embrace that.

Here ya go…I love this music…………………………

Ah yes the streak. I remember the time when my cousin and her mom were visiting. This was during the 70’s and I was around 19 to 21. My cousin encouraged me to streak through the living room in front of my mom and her sister, which of course I did without hesitation. Maybe that was the start of my illustrious life as a person sans clothes. :-)

Dry i know you dont like country but for some reason i though of you. idk.

love you girl.

And this is always good at a party. You’re gonna need those reinforcements Mopar talked about………..

ChuckB

I am off for a while to watch the tail end of a movie we started last night. If I see you when I get back .. groovy. If not, I have had a fine time hangin’ with my friends.

Tabby–That’s one of my favorites. I know it was for Dry, but…………………..

((((((((Tabby)))))))

We can’t afford to be losing party members here! Whazzup wit dat?

hi tribe! i decided to do a quick check in while at work, since i’ve hit a lull and have less than an hour to go until quitting time. i see the party has started but, being at work, i can’t access any of the links and will have to listen (if i have time) once i get home. enjoy, (and i’ll catch up again in about an hour). a quick aside to MoPar. My brother and sister in law were originally planning to marry on Sept 5th because it exactly half way between their respective birthdays. They didn’t, but their daughter was born on that date 2 years after they did tie the knot. just thought it was an interesting coincidence. back later.

I leave you with a little cajun. I visited this bar 2 winters ago. It is in Mamou, LA and is only open on Saturday mornings from 9am - 2pm. It is called Fred’s Lounge.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VIrni43iZjg#

Terry it was for all, im still trying to figure out why i thought of Dry its just a beautiful song.

*MoPar *how many artists sing with Pavaratti?

Got lost there with Barry White, that’s why I was gone for a bit.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fHCcM_uV-r8

Mopar—Pretty wild if you ask me. But then there are several things similar about us!!

Tabby–It is a great song!

Cleo the “simpsons” !No challenge to MoPar and his link to “Let the Music Play” YOu got that right! ROFLMAO!!!

Dry—I haven’t been playing any country!!!

hi all. im lost but it could be bc i havent read all of whats going on here. lol

Tabby I liked that song, and I think I know what you were telling me.

(((((((((((((((((((((Tabbylynn)))))))))))))))))

THANK YOU!

DRY anytime my friend. anytime. i love you. glad you got it.

((((((((((((((((((((Drystyha))))))))))))))))))))

Hey MoPar - I saw Quicksilver in Mission, BC at a rock festival called Strawberry Mt.

The coolest thing about the Strawberry Mt. rock festival was seeing the Small Faces. Rod Stewart was the vocal and Ron Wood was on lead guitar. i was right up at the front of the stage and actually shared my hot chocolate with Ron Wood.

*I may check back later, but I have a busy day tmr. and I DID stay up until 2Am yesterday, so I may be back or not! In which case,” I’ll see ‘ya when I see ‘ya”!* P & L After one more Barry White song on You Tube!

MoPar - To bad that you are not here we could actually be sitting in front of my fire pit smoking a cigar, having a drink and shooting the breeze with music in the background. I guess this is as close as it will get. It is amazing what technology has done and where it has taken us. I am friends with people that I really care about, yet have never met and never actually spoken to. Amazing isn’t it?

yes Dry we have contributed to your delinquincy.

night tribe my computer kicked me off twice that means its bed time sleep well my friends… i have a busy day tomorrow also.

Dry love you girl. keep ur head up it will all be okay.

cleo indeed it is amazing

cleo I still need to tell you my Washington story. I’ll try to get to it sometime this weekend.

tabby - Good night dear.

Yes MoPar I would like to hear it. Now, you live in Georgia, am I correct?

good night tabby

I am in Georgia. Grew up in VA, moved to TN, then GA, then FL, then back to GA. I have had the great privilege of travelling extensively, though, and that’s what brings up the Wasington story, but it is too late for it now, so stay tuned.

That’s what we call “a hook” in radio. It is supposed to keep you coming back. So, there.

Actually my wife and I will be in Virginia on September 16th. She is a real history buff and particularly Thomas Jefferson. We will be spending a week just north of Monticello, another week In Williamsburg, 3 days in WA dc, and a couple of days in Middlesburg or Middlesbury, VA. We are looking forward to it.

I was born in Lexington Virginia but lived in Charlottesville for about 32 years. One of the houses we lived in for a while I could look out the back door and see Monticello.

I spent 10 years at the University of VA, or as we call it, Mr. Jefferson’s University

I guess we aren’t doing too badly for such a small group. I just noticed we are up to 338 comments.

I could use a

LITTLE HELP HERE!

I just wanted to say hi to everyone here before I check out for the night.

What help do you need you are keeping the count up just fine. LOL

Ten years. Were you a teacher at the University of VA, or just a dedicated student, or LOL a student that just couldn’t get through the program. :-)

I was just shouting out in case Terry was still with us, but he seems to be gone.

I wish I could sit by the fire with you cleo and tell you and your bride stories about VA and Jefferson. I could go on for days, although you may not want to listen that long, but it would indeed be fun.

I am sure you will have a great time there. You will not travel down a single street that I haven’t done something on. Some of it I should not even talk about.

(Never been arrested)

I worked in the Biomedical Engineering department at the University Hospital. I was able to take some classes there because I was an employee, but did not graduate there. I also worked for the athletic department for years and got to see a lot of great sports and met some great people from all over the world.

My wife is a Jeffersonian admirer. I am not sure if you are familiar with a fellow by the name of Clay Jenkinson. He is a scholar from North Dakota but becomes Jefferson, Theodore Rosevelt and Oppenheimer. He will sit and answer questions as if he were one of the three men. He is particularly known for his take on Jefferson. He will answer questions on Jefferson both during his lifetime and how he would react to what is going on in the world today. We went to the University of WA and listened to his lecture. Very informative and interesting.

MoPar - Goodnight. I have enjoyed your company.

And now ladies and gentlemen, for your listening pleasure, one of ,strike one of, *THE BEST piece of music ever written, in my humble opinion, by the MUSIC MAESTRO,**

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t3S6UVS2JDE

Dry- Is that the theme to Fantasy Island? Hey, I am glad that you are up, but didn’t you want someone to tell you to go to bed if you stayed up late?

No, it is the theme to the Love Boat.

Dry - Are you just not sleepy, or are you stressed out about your dad?

CLEO

:-P :-P :-P :-P :-P :-P

Don’t mess with me dude!!! I will defend Barry White to the upteenth degree, he ranks right up there with THE TRIBE!

Cleo I’m getting sleepy, and you know the answer to the second half of the question, my friend!

Barry White has always been the music one plays when love making is on one’s mind. I hardly think that anyone is going to play the greatest quotes of “The Tribe” when in an amorous mood.

Well, come to think of it, maybe some of the peanut gallery would consider our words amorous, or so it seems. Bizarre as that may be.

Cleo ROFLMAO!

Yes Barry was great for the mood!!

Have you checked your e since around 5:30 or so my time?

I am going to sleep now, well I’m going to lie on my mattress, at least! GOodnight buddy!

Yes MoPar YOU DONE GOOD by me! Goodnight!

Dry - Are you happy with your choice of facilities for your dad? It is tough making such decisions, but all you can do is analyze the situation and make your best guess. I am sure that you did your due diligence. You can only do what you can do and not dwell on whether you did enough. You are a good daughter and whatever decisions that you have made have had a good heart behind them.

Dry - Yes I have and have a good sleep. Forget your worries for the night and just drift into a trouble free relaxed sleep.

See you in the morning.

Okay JFri, it is time for you to come out of the woodwork for a snifter of Bookers.

MoParMitch QMS and ‘Fresh Air’, I love you, man!
