Big Top by Rob Harrell for December 29, 2009

yeah, that’s a mature reaction all right.

lol so is what we are all doing. waiting for someone to post. :D

uh -oh! looks like breakfast is on me. okay eggs any style except “over easy” (the spatula is NOT my friend). bacon, sausage links, and/or ham. whole wheat and/or multi-grain and/or rye toast a selection of jams (grape, raspberry, apricot, strawberry. or orange marmalade) apple, orange, or cran-razz juice. as well as tomato or carrot for those who like their veggies juiced. nuclear coffee, cocamocha, or a selection of teas. bon appetit!

btw Tabby i was NOT waiting for someone else to post, i was catching up on a week worth of crossword puzzles from various sites (i normally do three per day). i was also reading all the nice comments you were making about my picture. thank you all (hope i don’t blush).

yguy ill have a fried egg please with bacon and orange juce. thank you kind sir.

Ladies you can come out now breakfast is served.

carmy this movie has become our movie of the night for the last 2 weeks. i am at the bang had aggainst wall stage. ahhh lol shes even saying all the words almost. its funny

Good Morning yyyguy and Tabby! I’ll have some scrambled eggs, whole wheat toast and some cran-razz, thanks yyyguy!

all i will say is my virtual cooking is a lot better than my RL cooking. you lassies are most welcome!

Looks like our Pete had a bad day.

yguy i didnt mean u in general i ment all of us tend to hope someone post first. sorry for the miss understanding.

Carmy good morning sweet friend.

Tabby, I wasn’t hiding. I’m watching a movie with Johnny Depp in it.

yyyguy I will have the rye toast with apricot jam! Bless you, sir! That is a first and most welcome! I love rye bread and apricot! And i’ll have some sausage links and cocamocha! Thank you!

Good morning also to Carmy and Tabby

**AND HI MARG AND JFRI!

okay i take my coment back about us hiding

Carmy that explains everything. lol what movie, if i may ask.

dry morning, welcome to tuesday, my day off from babysitting.

Johnny Depp? And you’re coming here, Carmy? GIRL, WASSA MATTER WITH YOU, GIRL?

yyyguy I’ll have two eggs basted, with bacon, rye toast, orange marmalade, and Lady Grey tea. Thank you!

Good morning Tabby, Carmy, and Dry (too bad about those Vikings, eh?)

i see we feel the same about Mr. Depp Dry

marg are you glad you are marg or what? lol if you were any other person you would be in big T R O U B L E lol but your marg so your safe. :D

hi Marg basted? how do you “baste” an egg? i’ve never heard of that.

Tabby, i know you weren’t speaking of me, specifically. i was merely explaining my absence for the immediate turnover period. my first comment was also meant to be a bit of a joke regarding my own absence for turnover. no offense was taken. i’ll wait until i get to Bird Brains for that. (another joke attempt)

yguy i understand. thanks.

okay i think i have made enough of a butt of myself for one morning. so i am heading to bed.

Peace and Love tribe. i am supper tired and have house work to do tomorrow.

MY DEAREST MARG, IF YOU MISSED IT, PLEASE SEE ONE OF THE LAST POSTS FROM YESTERDAY, MY DEAR FRIEND! and just in case you do miss it, here is an abbreviated version of same:

**:-P :-P :-P

Good night all! Pleasant dreams!

good night Dry & Tabby. rest well, ladies.

yyyguy, you spoon a little of whatever you’re cooking the eggs in over the top of the eggs to cook them without having to flip them over.

interesting, Marg. sort of like “sunny side up”?

DRY, whew, it’s a good thing that I’m Marg.!

Goodnight, all!

HI, Marg & Dry!!

CocoMocha alert (sort of) over at B.C.!

Uh, isn’t that reaction pretty much what a lot of voters do when their side loses?

goodnight Marg hi and goodnight MoPar Hi JFri & Johanan Rakkav

Rakkav if that’s how cocomocha is made, i don’t want any, thank you very much.

well, i’m all caught up on both toons and crossword puzzles, so i better go to bed. good night to JFri, Rakkav, and anyone i might have missed. here’s a deposit for the tribal karma bank before i leave.

(((Tribe)))

I got caught up in the movie. Goodnight All! Poor Pete, so mature indeed. Snerk!

Home again!!!

I agree with Doc most of the election of that last couple of decades in both Canada and USA have been not so much a choice of the lesser of two evils, but the evil of two lessers….

cyd lover is becoming anoyed. :0D playing a game called “dont shoot the puppy” and he keeps killing the puppy. i won on the first try. :D go me. hehe.

Tabby, I’m glad you didn’t shoot the poor puppy! Good Morning Everyone!

Good Afternoon Carmy!

Carmy lol me too.

so i have ordered lunch, swept the floor put clothes washing and sent of a late Christmas gift. folding some clothes and saved a few dishes. brother has played on the computher. texted, drank coffee, and played on the computer. all i aksed him to do was put away the dishes and he cant even do that. grrr!!! see what i mean?

oh and My Godchild is doing a little better. shes still not feeling to good but better then before.

well back to work peace and love all ill stop by when i can

if the puppy doesn’t want to be shot, it shouldn’t be on the shooting range (or is that a different game). just a brief drop in Tribe because i have only a half hour between “errands” and “get ready for work”

here is the game. :D

http://www.atom.com/fungames/shootpuppy/

food is here so i can talk for a while. :D hows it going>

we have domino’s oven baked sandwiches. Yummy!

@DocT i left you a bit of advice over at B.C.

Hi Terry, Doc, Tabby and yyyguy! I think I could play “shoot the rodents” but never shoot the puppy.

Tabby they are good, but they aren’t big enough! Good afternoon, to Doc, yyyguy, Carmy, Tabby, Terry, and, I’d say MoPar, but he left I think.

Hola Dry! I haven’t tried the oven baked sandwiches from Domino’s. I usually make my own, but I haven’t in a long time. Ooh, I really miss the Italian beef sandwiches in Chicago, yum!!

@DocT have a good snooze. as for the snow-a-pult, better PA than the GTA (home base for wiseguys).

the clock on the microwave sez it’s time to go, so i’m taking my leave. have a good day, all. (((Tribe)))

gone.

sorry i got desctacted we are planing our lesson for sunday.

Dry i am full. :D

Good Afternoon Yguy & Dry

Gute Nacht Doc

Catch ya L8tr!

Carmy wanna come cook for me? you make me hunrgy and wish i had your talents all the time.

Night doc sleep well.

so we have our lesson planed and i am so full i can hardly breath. my tummy is odd. i eat a little at the time it seems then i eat all the time lately. its anyoing.

MoPar lol i know your pain trust me.

okay so lunch i done and i need to get back to work around her. ill bbl in and out. the washer needs fixing so i have to do that first off. ugh.

FREE AT LAST, FREE AT LAST, THANK god almighty, I’M FREE AT LAST!

Sorry, I couldn’t resist that!

BBL have a vet appt.

Tabby girl, I don’t have talents, I just do what I gots to do. You’re fixing the washer? Now that’s a talent!

Carmy lol that talent pluse fixing the toliet when its broken and other manly things. lol

Dry i was gonna say that. :0P (not the vet, thing the other thing.) *also u most likely opened yourself up for jokes there, just a warning)

so all my work is done for now. i am on break i dont feel good. putting last load of clothes in dryer now. feels good to be done.

so my borthers string on his hoodie came off in the washer, and got tangled all up in the spinner thing thats what messed it up. go figure. well now he is playing with it and talking about india jones. he is something else. strange kid.

Tabby, tell your brother to put a small safety pin at one end of the hoodie string. That will help him guide the string through the little hole on the hoodie.

Carmy he dosnet want to fix it, he wants to play with it. lol he said he will take it to granny. thanks for your help, wouldnt have thought of that.

he is on a sugar High, make him stop!!!! lol

Carmy are you having a bum day today? i hope so

My stupid little ugly brother just “forehead smacked me with a wallet”

Tabby, I WAS having a bum day, but I have to go do some errands now. BBL. Take his wallet away!

its in his front pocket im not toching it. lol be safe. love ya

Puppy shoot

(Edited to embed the link, which I hope I parsed correctly)

bmonk no its dont shoot the puppy. lol thank for embeding it. i need to learn how to do that.

Are you still here, Tabby?

Are you starting to talk to Lynn??

Good Afternoon!

Bmonk im still here

Embedding is not hard–you put the title text in [ ]s and URL address in ()s, with no spaces in between:

[Don’t Shoot the Puppy] (http://www.atom.com/fun_games/shoot_puppy/)

with the space between ] and ( removed makes:

Don’t Shoot the Puppy

Edited to add the underlines in the URL–again. And then again to disable the underlines in the sample line…

bmonk thanks.

ill try it in a min.

parenting help

HA HA I DID IT!

I think she’s got it!

Yea Tabby! Hi bmonk!

♫The Rain in Spain falls Mainly on the Plain!♪ I think she’s got it! ♪The Rain in Spain falls Mainly on the Plain!♫

hi Carmy welcome back

now lets see if i can remember it. hehe

♫Well, I’ve never been to Spain!♪

Tabby, you’ll remember, you just got to get the hang of it.

Carmy i put it on a sticky note, my computer has them so cool

so i dont get this

I was just quoting a song from My Fair Lady, IIRC.

bmonk, do you like musicals? I do. There are a lot of good ones.

Carmy i like some musicals.

Some–but I don’t have a lot of time to find new ones… :-(

Tabby, Oklahoma! is one of my favs.

bmonk, the old ones are the best anyway. The King and I, Flower Drum Song, Guys and Dolls, and South Pacific are a few.

never saw it

Tabby, you have to see Oklahoma! It’s really good.

Carmy i know i need to see more movies

Tabby, I know you’re busy, so when you get a chance you can watch it. Of the newer ones, I like Chicago and Rent.

Other newer ones I liked: Phantom of the Opera, Into the Woods, Sunday in the Park with George. (Can you tell I like Sondheim?)

*“Paint Your Wagon”, *

I can’t believe NO ONE MENTIONED “CABARET”! Have you people no class? LOL! Just kidding!

And Grease!

Well,

EXCUSE me!

Carmy i have seen and love Chicago and RENT

i love the cell house tango lol and seasons of love.

Dry i like your avator, its funny. :D oh and ive seen Grease, but its been so long ago i dont remember it

had a phone call or two dad showed up sorry i disapeared with no warning.

Guess what! im buying a wii!!!! today in a few mins or hours who knows my bors girlfriend dosent want hers so she is saleing hers to us. they will only give her $75 for it and not even cash but a gift card to that place. funny is it not? so we will give her $120 for it and some games, and the controlers. thats great and its in great shape bc shes keeps up with her stuff. so happy… so if im up late tonight or not on much tomorrow, then u all know why/ lol

but u all know that i love you all lots. :D

oh no is this what happens to all foot ball players? well not Drys of course.

@Tabby, at my schools, the athletes were students first, and then athletes. At least, pretty much that way.

Dry, I forgot about “Paint your Wagon.” I don’t remember if I have seen “Cabaret.” I probably didn’t if I can remember it. duh! I have to make a store run, BBL.

this is so my brother for you. lol

so dad walks in and sees the house and says “its about d* time” and walks out. how nice.

going play by the fire. supper is done bbl my wii is on its way. :D happy tabby

More musicals, Gigi, The Music Man, West Side Story, Fiddler on the Roof and Singin’ in the Rain. Holiday Inn and Yankee Doodle Dandy. Okay, I’m done. :)

Tabby, good deal on the Wii! I’m happy for you too!!

L’il Abner, Flower Drum Song, Lovely Ladies Kindly Gentlemen, Seven Brides for Seven Brothers.

Carmy Cabaret was great! I’m not much for musicals, but some are awesome! Best thing about Grease was the sound track! And the Bee Gees!

bmonk, you’re excused! ROFLMAO!

Saw “Paint Your Wagon” on my high school senior 3 day class trip to DC! Oh what fun that trip was!

Carmy i just got it and im telling you im going to have to get walkingbuddy over here now bc we have wii fit. lol

we got a great deal on it. got so many games and controls i got Maro!! i am so going to be up late playing games. lol

listen to this. “if you have epilepsy or have ahd seizures or other unusual reactions to flashing lights or patterns, consult a doctor before playing video games.” LOL that is a warning on the game tony hawk

Hi Doc! Dry, get your pinchers ready!

I just remembered that Clint Eastwood sings in Paint Your Wagon! I saw it at the drive in with my family when I was a youngster.

Announce!

Tabby, take it easy, you don’t want to get Wii whiplash.

Carmy, Youngster, youngster, :-P :-P! I was a senior in high school! And I did forget that about Clint! LOL!

WELL WE’VE LOST OUR TABBYLYNN! PROBABLY WON’T SEE HER NOW UNTIL SHE’S OLD AND GRAY HAIRED! AND CAN’T MOVE THE CONTROLS ANYMORE BECAUSE THE ARTHRITIS HAS SET IN!! :-D

On the count of three Carmy, let’s go get our Doc!

Dry, :-P right back at you! I remembered that I LOL’d when he sang!

Hey, Lee Marvin came out in that too? Remember Cat Ballou?

So get nekkers already!

NO DOC! WE CAN’T WAIT! SO THERE! ASK A STUPID QUESTION, GEEZ … . . !!!

Dry, I got some of those “tiny” towels ready too!

Carmy yes I do (kind of) remember Cat Ballou! Honest truth here, one of the guys I used to work with, who has since passed away, (sigh, he was great!) was in the same unit as Lee Marvin and they were friends back in WW2. He even brought picutres into work to show us.

Dry, that is so cool!

Hello Doc, Carmy, Dry, Bmonk & Tabby

Carmy, you mean those TINY towels he tries to give us? Yes, we’ll turn the tables! I have to wonder though, maybe the tiny towels will be enough! OH I’M BAD! SORRY DOC!!

Dry, I think Doc is trying to scam us! Hi Terry

LACMBO, Dry!

Dry, he’s scamming!

*hiney PINCH!

You’re still not in the shower? What you waiting for??

The Police are on vacay, you’re on your own dude!

Finally!!

EXTRA HARD HINEY PINCH!! EXTRA HARD HINEY PINCH!!

You’d better not try to count on the Coppers Doc!

pinch, pinch, pinch, pinch, pinch

DRY, where are you?

pinch, pinch, pinch Here’s your tiny towels!

Then stop squirming, Doc! Sheesh!

I’M HERE CARMY! I THOUGHT I’D LET YOU TEST THE WATERS FIRST! LOL!

Poor Doc! (Nah, I have no pity! ) Here Carmy! Want one of those teeny tiny LITTLE towels?

Hello MoPar

I’ve been dozing a lot off and on lately and it really has me baffled. It seems to hit me a weird times of the day, too!

Good Night Doc

Have a good night at work!

Dry, wait until wildcheetah sees all those bruises on Doc’s hiney! Thanks for the towel too! I threw one at Doc earlier.

Yeah Doc, quit squirming! Do we tell Wildcheetah how much fun you have here! Minus all the black and blue marks of course! Just how do you explain that, anyway?

Good evening Terry

Seems everyone else is busy tending to the good Doctor

Dry, Wildcheetah did say we should pinch extra hard. BBL, trash detail!

I know that MoPar.

What was your day like?

MoPar

Do we have enough parts?

MoPar

I feel for you Bro! I love having relatives over, but it gets old after a while. You’re a good person sir! And you don’t go back to work for a while, right?

MoPar

My mother too this year seemed to miss my brother & sister more than in the past. And she talks much more about my dad than ever before. He’s been gone since 1960! I am hoping it is just her age and nothing more.

No, it never gets any easier Bro. That’s a given.

MoPar

Yeah, but I’ll be with him someday. It was so early. That’s why my older brother was like a father to me. And then he died when I was 30! Then I think I have my TWO sisters to take care of my mother and one leaves at 49! Doesn’t make sense sometimes……………………………

MoPar if I may ask,if your mother was alone at Christmas, why didn’t you bring her to your house? Sorry for asking and don’t mean to upset you, but it seems like a good solution to me. I know that’s a lot of people at one time. Like I said, it’s really none of my beeswax, I was just curious.

hey look i am here. bro took the wii from me and i went see Walking Buddy for a little while i needed that i missed her. now to see whats going on.

Dry are you okay my friend?

okay that should have read doc are you okay bc of the two ladies getting your bottom

Ahem? If I was female, I might have taken that as a compliment! But……………………………..

Hey Tabby girl!

MoPar you think I look like Terry? OH SAVE ME NOW!

Now I did not say anything bad. Knock-knock, anybody home?

Dry and Carmy that was some major pinching tonihgt. LOL

im all caught up. bbs.

I’ll keep the German & Irish & Bohemian background, thank you very much! :^)

I do play pool, but haven’t in a while.I was off making potato balls from leftover mashed potatoes! Got hungry for them, so thought I’d make some!

okay im back.

Dry

i am confused again. sigh

Is a potato ball similar to a popcorn ball?

carmy your guess is as good as mine. now i want popcorn sniff i hate braces.

bro is hoggen the wii. gonna hit him with a baby sock. lol i have played one game so far. :0(

How are you doing these days, Carmy?

Good Night MoPar

I won’t be on much longer as I am getting tired.

Carmy not quite! They are a mess to make, but good. You mix up an egg and whatever seasonings and cheese you want, roll them in flour, the messy part is working with the mashed taters! You toss the potato balls around until they dry out a bit then fry them in oil.

Tabby if bro wants to play with your wii, tell him to cough up half the money for it! Keep an eye on him, he’ll probably break it before you can even use it for any length of time!

Well since it is sooooooooooooooooooooooooo quiet all of a sudden, I am outta here for a while.

Dry he gave me half a little while ago. we got it from his girlfriend and she wouldn’t sale it to him bc she didnt feel right doing so. so he paid me latter. smart kid. sometimes.

Tabby, Who your bro or his gf? Be glad you have a bro, even if he is a pain, he’s a guy, what do you expect? LOL!

bro is smart. i am glad i have him bc he is protective of me even when he hates me. lol he was a great guy a while back when i had noone. :0/ i love him even when hes a tottal guy!

Tabby, you’re lucky to have a brother that you love!

SOUND OF MUSIC! DUH!!

Hockey game is starting 2 hours LATE!!

hey jfri

guess what the wii is mine. see you all later on when my headache wins. i just told walking buddy i didnt have one when i was over there and now its here. bummer.

bbl

Hi JFri! I thought about the Sound of Music, but I forgot to mention it. I’m watching a kid movie with some of my girls. It’s late here, but we’re being bums.

TWO HOURS LATE! WHY? Don’t tell me a snow delay!

Oh yes, the “hills are alive, with the sound of music” Saw that when I was in 8th grade! 8th or 7th!

YES, a SNOW delay!!
