Big Top by Rob Harrell for October 29, 2009

It starts with one person, let it be me.

And a Good Morning BigGhoul & Cleo Naked Corpsakaya!

I didn’t mean as far as breakfast goes. Dig nap it. Okay.

Belgian Waffles with chokecherry or maple syrup Chorizo and egg breakfast burritos mashed potato cakes crab omelets scambed eggs with roasted red pepper and garlic homemade granola juices Doc & Pirate coffee Juices Plenty of fresh fruit.

I’ll add assorted flavored teas and a hash brown cassarole!

My original statement had to do with the comic. Yet, I have to make breakfast. Enjoy, y’all.

Sound like donuts for breakfast to me!!!

re-post from 2 cows…

So where is Marguiretem? I saw a “see you a lot later” post, but no explanation…

Miss you Marg!!

hello gentlemen. I was getting close to retiring for the night.

Marg is on vacation.

Good Morning Marg wherever you are!

Good Morning Steve-the-undead.

I’m going to check out some of my toon merry-go-round and then head to bed. I’ll finish in the AM. I’ll be in and out till I’m done.

Good morning, good morning, good morning!!!

Thanks, lonewerewolf, I always worry about the family!

Morning, all!!

HI, MORGUE!!!

We all worry, Steve-the-undead

Good Morning FrankenFri

Do I roam, or do I stay?

Cleo, I won’t be here too much longer myself.

Alright night crew, I am done, put a fork in me!

Good Night CleoNaked Corpsakaya

Good Night All!

Peace & Love Tribe

NOBODY TELL DRYCULA THAT DOCTOR STRANGE TOON’S SNOW CAME FROM OREGON !!! SSSHHHHHHHH!!

Thank you!!

Whoa, blast from the past!!! Easy Rider is on!!!

Me and Doctor Strange Toon’s Coffee?

Good morning and Happy Thursday!! I’m with Steve - a helicopter full of doughnuts and none on the menu. I guess I’ll try the scrambled eggs, they look interesting (and colorful) - thanks Cleo

You’re up late FFri

When I was 18, I had a Marine Captain who made the 3 of us run a mile a donut. He brought in a dozen every morning. Can’t eat donuts anymore.

Good morning all! Lew, I think I could compromise: one donut, one mile. Hmmm, we seem to have a very appetizing spread today. I think the crab omelet looks too good to pass, so I’ll try that and some of LWW’s hash brown casserole, thanks guys!

Good Thursday Morning Tribe!

One more day to go!

Good Morning FrankenFri, Dementa, MonsterMitch, Dr Jekyll & Lewreader

What are you up to Dusty?

Off to finish my toonland merry-go-round. Got too tired last night.

hi and bye im leaving early today going to go get some breakfast. see you all later on. pray my headache goes away. love to the tribe.

Good Morning TTabby

Hope your headache goes away. Maybe food is the answer. Good Luck at school.

Good Morning Doctor Strange Toon

Good Morning, cleo naked corpsakaya, BigGhoul1313666, LoneWerewolf, Steve-the-undead, FrankenFri, Dementa, Lewreader, Dr. Jekyll, Tombtabby and Doctor StrangeToon!

Guess what? I can barely finish a cup of coffee!! I used to drink 2 to 3 cups in the morning. Please shoot me now!!

Good Morning CarMummy

Why less coffee?

It’s upsetting my tummy and it’s starting to taste blah!

Morning All!

I’ll try the crab omlette, sounds interesting.

I wonder if Dusty is going to have a Les Nessman moment coming up…

Good Morning Undead Frog

Like You said Doc ST, I thought all this was normal. Who needs medication?

CarMummy, If you’re thinking about the coffee, you haven’t had enough yet!

LoneWerewolf, I had a cup and I had trouble finishing it. I want more, but it doesn’t sound like a good idea. Maybe it’s time to hook up the IV.

Good Morning Undead Frog!

I hear you with the IV CarMummy! It seems that way sometimes.

Good morning everyone!

Why did anyone bother to make breakfast with all those donuts available!

How’s this **Doc ST?

An abandoned car sits alongside Colorado Highway 93 as a winter storm continues to deposit snow throughout the state on Wednesday, Oct. 28, 2009

Doc, I’M SOOOO GLAD YOU’RE HAPPY NOW!

Uh-oh, Good Morning Drycula

Undead Frog, Les Nessman, oh I LOVED THAT SHOW!!! That one with the turkeys still makes me laugh me a@@ off!!! Mr. Carlson saying “As god is my witness, I thought turkeys could fly!”

Whew - I thought maybe I had really dated myself with that reference. Thanks Dry

It looks like CommicAddict may have made an appearance on Working it Out: http://www.gocomics.com/workingitout

Well I’m off until 1PM since the electric co. has the power turned off in our building for “enhancement upgrades” what ever that means! Going in at that time for a couple of hours is not gonna be fun!

Doc. – Glad your happy now, so are 2 of my kiddos with school closed today. Unfortunately the 3rd could care less since he was up sick all night. I will be happier if I can get this flu out of my house!

Doc ST

I thought it was pretty cool. I was hoping to post it and sneak out before Drycula saw it. Busted, I guess.

Undead Frog except for our resident youngters here, I think we’re all of that era, in other words, we’re turning into old farts!

I’m surprised the roads look as clear as they do.

thanks Doc ST. He could really use it this morning.

Good Morning all. Doc - A clarification is in order. I am not and never have been an old fart. I am an old letch and proud of it.

COFFEE…GLOWRIOUS RIGHTEOUS NUCLEAR COFFEE

Drink till the glow do show

Good Morning Cleo Naked Corpsakaya

How are you this fine day?

Good Morning Idyhwkd

Here’s hoping you can get the flu away from your family.

GOOD MORNING EVERYONE!

Doctor Strange Keep your snow to yourself please. I am just about to leave now to meet at the college for my trip north. I’d be ever so grateful if you keep the snow in CO.

Thanks!

Good Morning Shrieka-Boo

Good morning Shrieka-Boo!. LoneWerewolf I am fine. I think since Doc likes snow so much we just pass an ordinance keeping all snowfall in CO or in the states of posters who actually want the cold white stuff. And that said…I think WA should adopt the weather of Florida. :-)

Cleo, and PA as well!

I kept having these strange dreams about music, Bookers and FrankenFri talking to a naked corpse and Werewolf. I think Dr. Jeckyll showed up too.. Not to mention SNOW!

Yawn!

Well, I’d better get going.

PEACE AND LOVE TRIBE!

See you all on Sunday.

Shreika, have fun girl!

Cleo NC, I think we would need to get in line for that adoption request.

Shrieka–Have a great time and lots of fun dear!

Well, I do need to get some work done and I think I’ve done enough damage around here for a bit. See you all during myself inflicted coffee breaks!

;-)

Shrieka - Toodle-oo. And…keep on dreaming.

Where’d Doc go? He must be out playing in the snow! I better find somewhere to hide! Something tells me there’s going to be a giant snowball headed this way pretty soon!

Right in the middle of the back, good aim! Geez!

Doc aims to please. LOL

Oh great a giant snowball fight, I’m going back inside to do some homework, and some housework. I don’t have time to play in the snow!

Dr. Jekyll good morning, party pooper!

yes it sure is wet and heavy! You calling off tonight? Are you stranded? Snerk!

Love the Snow, can’t wait for it this year, out west here we are soaked in drizzle today..

Happy, happy, joy, joy! I found some eggnog at the commissary!! Mega Yum!

I won’t be a party pooper come Friday, when all my tests and exams are done!

Doc, Stranded? ;-D

I take it CarMummy likes egg nog?

Hello RedHattt!

Pirate (Costume anyway) alert this week over at Retail!

I missed Shreika’s request for a bed-time story, so now I take the opportunity to offer the world’s shortest fairy tale:

Once upon a time they all lived happily ever after.

Hi and Bye, Shrieka-BOO! Have a great time! Hello to Drycula, Doctor ST, Undead Frog, Cleo NC. LoneWW, ldyhwkd, RedHatt, Dr. Jekyll!

Drycula, I love eggnog, especially with some pumpkin cake!

Dr. Jekyll, CarMummy, TheRed Hatt, bmonk Rasputin & CarMummy- Good Morning.

Hello bmonk Rasputin! Lovely fairy tale, thank you for sharing.

Well good, Dr. Jekyll will be available for the Halloween Party!

Egg Nogg, I gotta stay away from it. It goes down to easily and is so full of fat. Now, I just wave it over my glass of booze.

@CarMummy, that fairy tale does lack a certain something, but I’m not quite sure how to add the struggle, the conflict, the growth in an appropriately brief form.

Oh, yes:

GOOD MORNING, (((ALL THE TRIBE)))!

bmonk Rasputin, It had a happy ending, that’s what counts!

Sorry bmonk Rasputin, I was so engrossed by your fairy tale I forgot to say HELLO!

Hello Dr. Jekyll, TheRed Hatt & Bmonk Rasputin

I have to paint the room where we have our cable hookup and airport, so I will probably be offline this afternoon.

Any volunteers to help me paint?

(Once upon a time, they fought, they won & everyone lived happily ever after. The End.)

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/33350063/nPage/1

There are 3 pages of photos of kids in their costumes. Some of them are soooo cute. If the link doesn’t work, go to msnbc.com and click on the link there.

Hi FrankenFri!

I was thinking, “Once upon a time they grew through their youth and lived happily ever after.”

(No epic struggle!!)

@FrankenFri, most youths (teens) have plenty of epic struggles, at least in their own estimation.

@DocSTRANGE, you want exciting or long life?

See you later as usual Doc ST

I can help you paint later, Cleo Naked Corpsakaya.

I need to head to Micro Center in a few to pick up some computer parts.

http://www.9news.com/9slideshows/gallery.aspx?slideshowname=Colorado-Snow-Storm-October-2009

snow…, ‘sup everyone?

I don’t snow, 2 - 3 ft of the white stuff already on the ground oughta make Doc a happy man!

Love, peace and big bank deposits to all TRIBE! Homebound today, think SNOW has anything to do with it? LOL!

Bmonk Rasputin, I want both!

I am SOOO PROUD of myself! We unplugged ALL the cords and wires to our central work station server in anticiaption of the power outage just in case of a power surge. I’m here by myself and I figured out to reconnect everything all by my little loneseome!

♠LoneWerewolf♠, remember the old saying: “There are old pilots [or favorite profession], and there are bold pilots, but there are very few old, bold pilots.

Hello LionAroundDead

BMonk Rasputin, I’m a working on the latter.

The latter or the last?

Yes!!!!

Very good there Drycula. And it all seems to be working? ;-)

Yay, Drycula! That is an accomplishment. If the hubs left me to do that, I don’t snow, er, know that I could do it.

werewolf, yes it does! Are you surprised? (Don’t answer that if you value your life! :-D)

Okay - Drycula gets an exemption from s - - - today because of what she did on her own - yay, girlfriend! (♠LoneWerewolf♠ - you know exactly what (2) word(s) I mean! LOL!)

Drycula, let’s put it this way…………………………………….

(Opps, but I didn’t say I was exempt. I might have opened myself up to some razzing here…)

I VALUE MY LIFE AND I’M HEADED TO MICRO CENTER.

BBL

Drycula

;-)

LoneWerewolf - thanks buddy. I appreciate it. Grab a roller.

(roll. brush, roll, oooops, blot…..what a ghastly color!!)

looks kind of green to me, an ugly shade of green at that!

Dry HAVE I TOLD YOU LATELY THAT I LOVE YOU?? I SO DO. THANK YOU SO MUCH.

it was a link to a huge rubberband ball story in florida

also what is Munich bc all i keep getting is a map. :0( im at my wits end here.

Tabby,Munich is a city in Germany. Anything you don’t know just google it. if you have questions, you know we’re here!

frome what i remember in class he said that it had something to do with the war. he said they people would sit around and just say “Munich” and they would know what they were talking about and that it was there only hope. What the happened there is what i wanna know. gosh i suck in history. sigh

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20091029/aponreus/usrubberbandball

type in http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20091029/

include the below on same line no spaces

aponreus/usrubberbandball

tabby google it, germany, WW2, do some research, I’m sure you wil find it very interesting!

Try this link to the Rubber Band Ball story…

And, TombT, I find that when there are lots of underlines in a url–which means that Gocomics will make a hash of it–it works better to embed the link: [text] (url), only without the space between the square bracket and the parenthesis.

thanks i will have to wait till the notes are done being typed. then i can do it. ill just skip that part for now and come back. as i have done already.

bmonk Rasputin rock thats so it! thanks. Dry try that link

okay curisity got thebetter of me and now i remember hime saying a little bit about it.

Try this page on autarky for a start.

Hello again Tribe!

Back from the ‘puter store. Actually got all I needed this time.

Whazzup?

Oh, yes, when I was walking earlier, the frost was dropping from the sky and I thought to myself, “Gee, this is a nice frost. Less than a half inch of frost so far, and melting when it hits the concrete.”

I’d sing, “I’m dreaming of a White Hal’ween, just like the ones we used to have…” except it looks likely to melt tomorrow or the next day.

(Be kind to Drycula–she fixed her computer without help!)

Where ya at Cleo N C? I’m here if in yur still paintin’ boss man!

wanna go out side and type notes its cooler for sure but the wind is so strong it would blow all my papers away possibley my computer also. its bad.

Are you having a rough time (((((Tabby))))))?

bmonk get the story right, not just my ‘puter, the whole office server, geez man, GIVE CREDIT WHERE CREDIT IS DUE! :-D ROFLMAO

lonewerewolf can you tell?

so to whoever knows history…. about to see if i can get ahold of my old hist teacher….

when cordell hull stated “If goods cant cross borders, soldiers will.” he was refering to the refusal of using the “open door” policy. this statement was put into action wich therefore led to WWII. the great depression as well.

am i right or WAY WAY wrong?

Hey Were, how’s my favorite wolf! I go with the hubs to the computer store and get bored silly, can’t figure any of that stuff out my own self and he’s in hog heaven!

Tomb if I could send some of the cold and snow your way I would! I just finished shoveling 3 ft of SNOW (shush, don’t tell Drycula) from the driveway and walks, and I’m done with it! Done with it, I tell you, DONE … WITH … IT! Altho…, it does look pretty if you don’t have to be in it.

hes on hes on. going get help from teacher bbl

@Dry, at least I didn’t use the four letter word! LOL!!

:-Þ Pbftpbftpbft!

And an office “server” can be very complicated…………….

LionAroundDead, I have my own aisle at the MC here!

@Tabby, the US did cut off oil and, IIRC, steel from Japan, so they attacked us to be free to take the Indonesian Islands from the Dutch and get their own oil. In that sense, cutting off trade did lead to war. On the other hand, Japan was already engaged in China, taking Manchuria in 1931 and a full attack in 1937. In the long run, US involvement to resist them was inevitable.

Hitler and Mussolini–I don’t think you can blame their aggression on lack of trade. It was more their own policies for Living Space or Empire (respectively). Once Germany and the Soviets made their treaty in 1939, war was (again) inevitable to stop Hitler’s expansion.

Hey Drycula, does your office server “serve” martinis? I could use one right about now! LOL!

LoneWereWolf LOL! You and my hubs could be best buds!

Hey Drycula, it did not hit 60 here like they said it would!

I don’t think so! I cause enough damage on my own. I never did like two chiefs stirring the pot!! lol

oh i so love my old hist teacher he is making things make since to me. love it love it love it

ROFLMAO - no kidding! I leave the house when the hubs works on the servers, I don’t even try to be an Indian and help!

Hitler’s main motive was to put the people back to work during the depression. He was able to do that by building war machinery which was convenient since he had his eye on dominating Europe. His secondary reason for expansion was to push his “Final Solution” across Europe and then the rest of the world. Of course ALL of this fell in with his plans for the Third Reich, a 1000 year empire.

Hey Drycula, is your filter blocking me out or are you just busy?

In the words of my teacher “hittler was gobbling up europe and japa. threw a smack down on hawaii”

see why i love the man?

This is good.

that should have been japan.

Ha, my Blackberry went dead during a call with my little sister. I know she’ll think I hung up on her! LOL

I’m not difficult, am I? I don’t think so. Nah. Uh-uh. Nope. No way!

♠LoneWerewolf♠, perhaps it was the crackling voice-over you used before it went dead, like you were going into a tunnel?

I am not that funny but okay. i am just happy for walking buddy she finaly got enough of her c r u d y job and is quiting. :D so happy for her. and she is in a good mode. i got to see her for about and hour today and it made me in a good mode. so its a two for one. pluse i got to laugh at her fuss at her and joke with her. it was great. now i have you guys im doing good.

(Wow! And I thought that green was ghastly?? LOOK at that fuscia trim!! WHOOOWEEE!!!! Hope cleo nc knows what he’s doing with these colors!! Brush, brush, blot)

Bmonk Rasputin–Probably that and the two of us not agreeing on something about our mother!

no i did NOT break the printer i have NO clue what you are talking about.

@♠LoneWerewolf♠, Khhh! Rrrkkkh–ffftkrhhl! Lone…khkhk…break-rhrhlkk..can’t hear wha-…

Nobody said you broke the printer Tabby

FrankenFri be careful with that paint! You just spilled that putrud looking color on me, and besides, if we make a mess, you know who will be here scrubbing and mumbling to himself! :-D we’ll be careful Hymenoxis!

Terry phew good im in the clear. you know nothing i tell you nothing.

Tabby broke the printer, tabby broke the printer!~ :-P

Love ya girl!

Uh, TURDETTE, I DON’T think he wanted the door knobs painted, too!!!

Cleo N C is going to just love you two!

Oh gee, the brush slipped! And now it won’t wipe off! Sorry Cleo!

You know I can’t work right when you’re standing over me watching me TURD!

Good thing I didn’t get involved. Instead of frick & frack, it would have been the 3 stooges! LOL

Dry why dont you just tell the whole world? ;0P

Now you’ve got to call SERVPRO………………………………….

Like it never even happened!

WHO wallpapered CARMY to the freakin’ wall? Cleo said PAINT, NOT WALLPAPER!!!

It is Drycula………………………. :-P

Gee, I leave for a moment, as see what happens???

Total Chaos!

so THAT is where Carmy is at. sigh what am i gonna do with you two

I fixed the printer!!!! its working again. go me.

Woo-Hoo, Tabby

it is so humid the papers are sticking together bc they are damp and that can NOT be good for the printer. or me

Oh, man!! Paper mache CarMummy!! I hope she doesn’t find her machetes!!

Definitely not good for the printer.

(Dips brush in paint, wipes across bmonk Rasputin’s face and SNERKS!!!)

*Well the way I see it, that’s the only way she’ll get out of there, and then we both better run like he !!. I asked you to hand me the glue, why weren’t you paying attention to what I was doing? *

[Duck tapes FrankenFri to the wall]

Alright, who turned on the fan? Where’d those feathers come from? Now they’re all sticking to the wet paint!

Hey, that WAS a putrid green & fuscia shag carpet before, wasn’t it? Boy, am I glad I have some Bookers for cleo nc!! You others are ON YOUR OWN!!!

You know, you two are something else. Anyhow I do have things to do this evening. Hope I can oblige at a later date. Outta here Tribal Friends–BBML

this could get ugly. so going back to hw/notes/studying/breaking the printer.

GIVE ME THAT BOOKERS! That’s what got us in this mess in the first place! Never drink and paint!

Oh like THAT’S gonna work on a guy 7’10” tall! DUCK tape? I live in Oregon but I ain’t NO DUCK!! Now duct tape…….hmmmmmmm

(Holding bottle over my head). Yeah, GOOD LUCK TO YOU, TOO, TURDETTE!!

so tell me if this makes since… i have writen in my notes what he had typed and on the board.

in 1937 unemploymey was 15%then a few mins later he tells us

unemployment in 1937 went down 14%

i am lost. any help here?

You’re just at the right level TURD! You put that Bookers above your head once, that’s okay, I’m just about close enough to smack someone somewhere that’ll make him drop that Bookers!

Whose 7’ 10”? Guess you’re growing along with that nose, TURD!

Uh-oh: Which of you guys added all that turpentine to the paint? It’s not even covering properly!

Repaint, you thinners!

@Tabby, did it go from, ummm, 29% to 15% in 1937?

The chart speaks for itself. One can see that in 1932, the year before Hitler and Roosevelt came to power, Germany’s unemployment rate was at 30.1% and America’s was at only 24.9%. But within just five years, Germany’s unemployment rate was reduced to only 4.6% (1937) and dropped even further to only 2.1% a year later.

That isn’t turpentine, it’s BOOKERS! FrankenFri spilled it in the paint!

Hey, TURDETTE, look at my AVATAR!!!!! HELLO?????

http://www.rense.com/general87/d21h.htm

wow how do you two know so much history? thanks. brain hurts again.

POURED it in the paint!!! So cleo n c can just lick the walls for a high!!!

We’re just so S-M-R-T!!!!

Don’t forget, tabby, we have had time to get interested and learn what we want to learn. Best way to study. Unfortunately, unless it matches the teacher’s interests or syllabus, it doesn’t make for very high grades…

Geez, cleo n c, here I am screwing off on your pathetic little project instead of WORKING!!

LOL frankenFri i am guessing you left the A out intenioly, but trying to figure out if it stands for something other then smart.

FrankenFri, that’s even better! Makes my aim even easier!

(No, you read it and figured it correctly :-D)

Not without a STEP LADDER!!!!

SNERK!!!

grossraumwirtschaft

is that German for something?

Painting yuck. Thanks for your help LoneWerewolf.

As I am reading all the comments from 3 pages back (you yappy nuts) I would cook rather than have a delivered pizza. Our homemade pizzas make theirs pale in comparison.

Should be something like the greater economy.

THANKS LONEWEREWOLF FOR YOUR HELP????? WELL!! COME ON, TURDETTE! WE KNOW WHEN WE’VE BEEN SNUBBED!!!!

FrankenFri what is the translation, sir?

I carry my step ladder around with me all the time! It folds into a nice little pouch! SNERK! Didn’t you ever see those advertised on TV?

it says next to that big word in my notes economies of larg scale so same thing?

Cleo you were not here to cook me a good pizza so i had to deal with that. lol

FrankenFri & Drycual - I don’t know where you guys were painting, but it wasn’t here. I’m sure whomever you were helping was thrilled to have two such adorable and helpful monsters at their command.

I will take a large snifter of Bookers however. the good thing about painting in the nude is that you don’t ruin clothes. :-p

Oooooooooooo! A 3” STEPLADDER!!!

@Tabby, yes, it could mean large-space-economy, which is pretty close to scale, so I’d go with that…

LOL you all have me in pieces here.

Did anyone get one of those ladder sets with “dozens” of arrangements?

Edit: Somethin’ like this?

Well the WHO WAS that naked homeowner we were working for??

Well, caught up finally. What a shame that FrankenFri & Drycula ended up at my neighbors house instead of mine. The family is Korean and the language coming out of his mouth, which I could not understand, sounded a bit like he was outraged. He did keep hiccuping though. The only word I could make out was Bookers. That is why I suddenly crave a large snifter, but paint free if you will. I have had enough paint for the day.

Was my neighbor naked? Sheesh and this is the truth. I bought a hot tub, then he bought one, I put in new steps and a deck down to the lake, then he did too. I then painted my house and he followed suit. So, I am not surprised that he had taken up painting in the nude.

I TOLD YOU WE WERE AT THE WRONG HOUSE, TURD! BUT OH NO, “THIS IS THE PLACE”, HE SAYS,” I KNOW THIS IS THIS THE PLACE”, HE SAYS! “TRUST ME”, HE SAYS! NOW WE’RE PROBABLY GOIING TO GET ARRESTED FOR TRESPASSING! NOT TO MENTION VANDALISM! THANKS A LOT, TURD!

That also explains the color choices. He always choose colors that I am not particularly fond of.

Just dropping in for a little boost from the tribal bank. Dad’s still in the hospital. They’re having a tough time keeping him in bed - he wants to WALK home!!! Daughter-in-law #1 has a bad case of the flu so we are all hoping it doesn’t get worse and that she hasn’t shared it in the past few days. Time will tell. A couple of names, I don’t recognize - of course, all Halloween has broken out since I’ve been gone so it stands to reason! Anyway, thanks for the laughs - it’s good to be able to read these comments for even a few minutes.

anybody wanna type my notes for me.. i found more pages. :(

Well, I’m back. How is everyone this evening?

(((((Dawn)))))

Just a long day in a LONG week, Dry! I have now finished two exams, and now I have a quiz for tomorrow, plus, work at 6 am. So I’d best get studying now whilst I have the chance.

TABBY, THANK YOU! WHAT THE FRICK IS HE TALKING ABOUT? HE HAS THAT BACKWARDS, HE’S THE ONE WHO KEPT SAYING THIS IS THE PLACE! AND WHAT THE HE!! IS A GARMAN, TURD!!!

Wrongway Drycula, indeed! Hmph!, TURD!

Doctor Strange Toon, you will NEVER be a lert! A lot of other things but NOT a lert!!

Oh I don’t know about that! Lert sounds like a good description of Doctor STRANGE Toon! Gee only two more days to call him that! :-(

That would be your GPS, WRONGWAY DRYCULA!!

Dr. Jekyll I take it these are your mid-terms? My kiddo had his two weeks ago, but he started in mid-August. Good luck! I know you’ll do well!

GEEZ! No WONDER we were so lost! She doesn’t even KNOW WHAT IS, LET ALONE HOW TO USE IT!! TURDETTE!!

dry, akenta, marg, carmy and shika

Dry things seldem make since to me anymore. lol

(((((((((((((For Dawn and her dad))))))))))))))))))))

(((((Dawn)))))

I DON’T NEED NO STINKIN’ GARMAN! I KNOW WHERE I AM AND WHERE I’M GOING! AND IF YOURS IS SO GREAT, HOW’D WE END UP AT THE WRONG HOUSE, TURD!? DON’T YOU BE BLAMING ME! WE WERE IN YOUR STINKIN’ TRUCK!

Turd & Turdette. It sounds like you two are related. Butt I have been wrong before.

Howdy Doc.

Cleo naked Corpsakaya

They sound like the are married ducking and hiding behind any object to protect me from any blows coming my way.

WELL BACK TO NOTES. la la la la

((((((Dawn and her Dad))))))

Just woke up from a 3 hr nap, shoveling s - - - really did me in!

Dry and Fri - love your love for each other! LOL!

i don’t HAVE one, WRONGWAY DRYCULA, because I don’t need one!! YOU’RE the one that has one & YOU were the NAGAVATOR!!! TURDETTE!!

Tabby - Yup, they sound like an old married couple alright.

It kind of sounds like they have Turdette’s syndrome.

cleo it sure does. makes me worry about them. lol

Doc - Are you going to go out in these frigid conditions to go about your job in indoor frigid conditions?

Doc hello. how are you? are you enjoying your cold snow? im not enjoying my humid hotness.

Doc - At the moment I am about to send you some rain. We have had over twice as much rain this month than normal.

Tabby - I will be happy to send you some cool rain in exchange for your hotness. You can keep the humidity. I don’t like hot, humid conditions.

Cleo OHHH rain and snow, build an arc Doc! heeeeee!!!!

Okay Doc, I’ll trade you any sunshine you get for any weather I find objectionable.

Turd has had too much Bookers! We were in a truck and I don’t have a truck! Cleo, he WAS DRIVING I SWEAR! NOW WHO ARE YOU GOING TO BELIEVE, SWEET LITTLE OLE’ ME OR HIM? (Be VERY CAREFUL how you answer that sir!)

Dry - It is funny looking at your avatar and then mine. You are big eyes and I am big eye sockets.

Now should I believe a Turd or a Turdette? I know what I should say, butt I do not want to make an a$$ of myself.

DOC LOL you may just need an ark after all. LOL

i have 2,080 words. wow thats alot of notes. save me

cleo, BEFORE you answer, I have just ONE WORD for you……BOOKERS!

Doc- Don’t tell me that she already thinks of you as a rat?

Fri - You are definitely the innocent party. Dry must have been the map reader. I think we should sit down with a snifter and discuss her map reading disabilities.

Thanks

((((Tribe!))))

TomTabby, you are sooooo right - just like an old married couple! ROTFL Cleo at least Calgary has sun - unlike the coast! I won’t have to worry about the plants being watered out there ;>) I just noticed I was eating a nice fresh Washington apple. It will be a few years before our apple tree has fruit so thanks for yours.

Any extra Bookers?

Why not? WE DO!

cleo & Dawn, here! Have some nice BOOKERS!!

Dawn - Enjoy.

Dinner time all. Thanks for the Bookers buddy. Dry, whatcha got to offer?

Hey everybody, Doc is a mole for the rodent revolution. Pretends he’s one thing, yet supports the enemy.

Hey TURD you are cheating! If you don’t stop that, I am going to tell you ALL ABOUT TONIGHT’S CSI! :-P

okay i am done typing my notes no on to the higlightign and craming. :0) not a tipical teen nope nope nope just one whos head has been exploding. DRy did you see your mes. i sent you somewheres back there?

LAlalalalalalalalal, I can’t HEAR you!! And I am NOT cheating!! NEENERS!!!

*Well so far, a well beloved college football coach has been murdered! And some 19 year old girl was found dead in a car in the desert, and … . some of the coaches trophies are missing from his house and … . . *

Dry, yeah they are the midterms. I don’t have them all at once, and most classes have more than one. This wave is the “blowoff” classes. However, I need them all to be A’s, so I spend more time than I want to studying for them. FFri, what is Bookers?

**Saaaaayyy, is WRONGWAY DRYCULA saying something?? I CAN’T HEAR YOU!!

Dr. J, it’s whiskey! How could you NOT know THAT??**

Dr. Jekyll, Hang in there! It will pay off for you, trust me, says your adopted tribal mom!

right Doctor STRANGE You have NO IDEA what kind of booze!

And FrankenFri Turd, THE MURDERS ARE CONNECTED! :-P :-P :-P

Can ANYBODY hear what WRONGWAY DRYCULA is saying? I sure can’t!!

Doctor Strange Toon, how can you beat the combination of chocolate & alcohol??

DOC, SOUNDS GOOD, OR SPIKED EGG NOG, IN CASE CARMY WANTS TO STOP BY! SHE LOVES EGG NOG!

Throw in a wyrdcheetah……WHAT could POSSIBLY go wrong?? :-D

Oh FrankenFri, the twists and turns, should I tell you what’s going on now? A PLOT TWIST! OHHH!

HI, MORGUE!!!!

Why would TURDETTE want me to twist her up & throw her in a plot??

((((((Dawn and her Dad))))))

I’m glad your dad is feeling fine & fiesty. That is good news! I remember Mom thinking she was still able to drive. I told her she needed to improve her driving skills with her walker first. We had enough trouble with her thinking she could walk without anyone’s help. (She even needed help using the walker.) The hospice nurse said Mom’s lungs are about 2/3rds full of fluid. Can’t be too much longer, I would guess.

OH FRANKEN FRI, WHAT AN ENDING, SHALL I TELL YOU ABOUT IT, TURD, HUH, HUH, HUH?

WELCOME BACK MORGUE!!! YOU WERE MISSED!

FFri, I just turned 21! How would I know? O:-)

Oh yeah, tomorrow, I’ll take about a fifth of that in celebration of this week being over.

What are these murders you are talking about Dry?

Sorry to hear that, Rmomzila!

Tribe A big hello there!

I am currently waiting for maintenance to come unclog BOTH toilets! First mine went glub blub overflow, then my spouse’s. This is ridiculous. My theory is one of the kids upstairs flushed something they shouldn’t have, and since I’m on the bottom floor mine goes first. Sigh. Just what I wanted on a night I might have been able to get to bed early.

Who knows, I might still be here at changeover time… though I sincerely hope not.

Oh, it figures Dusty would try to hog the donuts, after all , they’re Krispy Kreams. It was 2 for the Big Top and 8 for the Tribe. Enjoy

Now don’t try that INNOCENT ACT on ME, Dr. J! Besides, you KNOW how involved I am with alcohol!!

((((((((((Quaby!!))))))))))

Thanks, FrankenFri! It has been a long rough time since her first stroke. Mom used to be so independent, strong & creative. She went on several overseas mission trips (like the Grandma on Stone Soup). She sewed everything - I was in 7th grade before I had a store-bought dress, coat or swimming suit! If we wanted something sewn, but didn’t have a pattern, she’d use brown paper sacks and make one to use. During WW2, she worked at Boeing as an inspector, until she got engaged to my Dad (who worked there until he was drafted). The last 2 1/2 years have been a very long grieving process, as she’s not been able to be the mom & friend I knew my whole life. It is so hard watching her get worse, and worse, and worse. I will be glad when she’s no longer trapped in that body and in heaven.

Rmomzilla Are you with your mother now?

Dr Jekyll, don’t forget, we have a good inkling of how you spent your birthday, snerk and snicker!

Quaby, TMI!! LOL!

No, Dry. I stopped by this morning, but she was asleep. My sister and my oldest brother (who lives in OK) are with her.

Quaby - I love the idea of his & her toilets. No arguing about seat position or toilet paper direction!

Rmomzilla - It is tough losing a parent. I have lost both of mine and losing the second is even tougher than losing the first.

(((((Rmom)))))

I know that feeling way too much. My mom faded away for 14 years with Alzheimer’s.

Anyways, what were you talking about Dry? Frankenberry and Dry :-P :-P assume all you want, I plead the fifth!

FrankenFri - We are not involved with alcohol. We are intimate with alcohol.

Dr. J, you DRANK the fifth!! SNERK!! cleo n c, I sit corrected!!

Thanks, cleo! My Dad died almost 8 years ago. That was hard, but this has been harder. One, because the final illness has been a marathon. Two, because I’ve been very close to my Mom. I’m the youngest of 5, but the only one married (for more than 3 months anyway), and the only parent. The two siblings who are with Mom now, lived out of state until after Dad died, (NJ & AZ). Therefore for 20 years or so, they usually only came home on Christmas. I’ve always been a “local” (or loco - depending on who you ask - snerk!) call, so I would talk to Mom almost every day, and see my folks once a week. She was there in the delivery room when I had my first son. So many memories!!! Thankfully, almost all good. (And none really bad.)

Dr. Jekyll, the fifth? I won’t even go there!

(((((Rmom and her Mom)))))

Doctor Strange, let them bring on the s - - w ! I’ll just hibernate through it all!

Just got up from another nap, I’m whipped and now queasy. The hubs reminded me about the clinician I saw last week at the hospital that said she was just getting over swine flu, but “wasn’t contagious” anymore. I hope so…

Turdette, CSI is OVER!!

Thanks, LionAroundDead!

Just a quick pass through.

(((((((((All who need a hug today))))))))))))))

It seems that SOME of us are slightly challenged in both decorating and navigation departments.

Not yet I didn’t, I have to be on top of my game for at least one more day! Tomorrow maybe… probably, actually.
