Big Top by Rob Harrell for January 07, 2010

OK, Carmy, fire up the buggy! Breakfast at Original Pancake House on me! We’ll bring back doggie bags for the late comers!

JFri, the buggy is ready!

Did someone say buggy? I call whip!

’Morning JFRI and Carmy!!

Morning Marg! Dry says Good Morning to you too!

HI, MARG!!!

Grab the whip, Marg!

‘Morning DRY!! Cracckkkk, and we’re off!

Goodnight you two, pleasant dreams and a great sleep experience!

‘fraid I don’t understand this one… Ice chips for the hurt?

johnny, after surgery they give you ice chips to suck on instead of water to drink so you don’t aspirate it and …….well, that’s not a GOOD thing!!

Ahh! Thank you for that Jfri. and good morning all, and good night all! (take whichever applies to you.)

Nowadays the ice chips are flavored. The lemon flavored ones are pretty good, expecially if you’re starving.

Good Night Marg and Johnny! Sweet Dreams!!

JFri, I hope we brought enough food back for the others. I’m touring the toons…

Oooh, a road trip. Original pancake house ooh, if it is original it must be good. If they have real maple syrup then I am happy.

”Morning Cleo! Goodnight JFri and Cleo! It’s off to bed I go…

cleo, their maple syrup is heavenly!!

Good morning and Happy Thursday. We may get snow here today so the state is in a panic. I don’t expect it to be bad today, but we may have icy roads tomorrow. JFri, can you pass me a doggie bag? JohhnyD good to see you again.

Happy Pancake House TRIBE! Will they have enough seating for all of us? If there’s syrup, I’ll need an extra napkin or two.

Good Morning Akenta & Lewreader

Pancakes. Why’d it have to be pancakes? Good morning all.

Good Morning Doc& MisngNOLA

Doc, we’re getting that large amount of snow I told you about. 2 inches on the ground and it’s still coming down fast. Supposed to do this all day long.

Doc, I’ve been replacing a fuel pump outside the last 2 days.The gas tank has to be removed to replace the pump. I’m lucky I got it done yesterday. I sure wouldn’t want to be out there today.

Doc, We just got the new alert…………..10-13 inches total by tomorrow! James & I love it! Wolfangil doesn’t! LOL

Wolfangil says that about me too! I do like the temp in the house lower than most people.

’Morning Terry and Doc! It’s warming up in FL, 43F today.

Pretty much the same with me Doc.

G’Morning Carmy! 43F woukld make it easier to work on cars here.

Morning All!

We’re supposed to start climbing above the freezing mark tomorrow, I hope they’re right.

Good Morning Joy! Happy Day to you too!! Wait, maybe snow/sleet later this week? Oh no!

HEY JOY! I can send some snow down your way tonight if you’d like!

Joy LOVE THAT AVATAR!

Hello Joy & Digital Frog!

Good Morning Dry and DigiFrog!

Hey Carmy

Digital, how do frogs get around in the snow? :-)

Doc as soon as the snow arrives, I’m sending it back to you!

-52 wind chill in ND! You okay, bmonk?

Dry-frogs don’t get around in the snow, they croak. Don’t know about Digital Frogs though, maybe they diggit.

With a hat and over coat, Wink could pass for the invisable bear.

35degrees in Austin TX - Go HORNS!

Dry & GoodQuestion - We just call the AAA and get toad…

Hello Goodquestion & Dry

Good question, I’ll be watching and rooting for those HORNS, too!

Goodquestion, I’m rooting for the Longhorns too!

Hook ‘em Horns!

Good Morning All. It is a sunny cool morning here in the PNW.

We’re OK–we don’t get too upset (or, I believe the word was panic?) at threats of snow, or cold for that matter. The high today is supposed to be around -10F. If we get lucky.

But we do know how to dress up. And, no, it’s not true we don’t put on jackets unless it’s below 0.

We put on jackets when it gets into the 40s, and coats below about 35, at least in Fall.

It’s only Spring when we feel 0 is nice enough to be out without a coat. ;-)

Digital, again, I swear you and bmonk should go on the road! LOL!

Cleo enjoy the sun, I see you have a lot of rain coming in this weekend.

Dry are you sending the rain? Knowing you, I just had to ask.

Good Morning Cleo & Bmonk

Good Morning Terry.

But, DocT, you know it’s all true. I’m sure you didn’t just grow up hearing North Dakota jokes–you lived them!

By the way, Dry, do you know the definition of a sweater? (This is true for all parts of the country, except Cleo’s house.)

BMonk & Doc–Here’s a good one for North Dakota!

Hey–it makes it easier to get to the wires to fix them, doesn’t it?

morning all, ana went to sleep at what 930ish. got up at 1020am she got some sleep alright.

walking buddy is home..questioning look no return of phone call no email no clue how she is. sigh

catching up bbs. tpying with one hand ana on other one

cleo, where do you get all that clear sky stuff? We are overcast AGAIN!! No rain yet, but like Dry said, it’s a comin’ and we have had plenty this year already. Of course, it’s good it’s dry there so the paint can cure properly! SNERK!!

Before I go:

A sweater: something you wear when your mother is cold.

Good morning all! It is snowing here too, I imagine two inches might stick.

our weather

http://www.katc.com/weather/

Yes Doc that is indeed me.

JFri it may be sunny here, but I bet it is warmer in your neck of the woods. It was 29 when I got up this morning. I am not complaining. The air is clear and we are far from the rotten weather that the rest of the country seems to be suffering through.

Hello Johnny, Tabby & JFri

That was a wild pic, Bmonk!

bmonk had to read that twice before I got it, but I like it! LOL!

im caught up.

just got off the phone with my godchlids mom my friend, she is not doing good shes at the doc right now and they just gave her bad news. the baby is fine n growing well due in march, but mom not so hot. sniff

doc snow and cold? Oh that just makes your day doesn’t it?

That Herman is hilarious!

Hi tabby and johnny!

hi dry good morning to you

You are in the wrong line of work Doc. I think you should join Santa at the North Pole. You can be one of his little helpers and have all the snow that you can handle.

who knew my hip was a chair, well the bone shall i say, shes sitting on my hip bone.

shes not answering my phone calls!!!!!! grrrrr. i called her at 4pm yesterday and just now shes not answering or returning.

Good Morning (or for those in the Eastern time zone), Good Afternoon! The sun is shining, the electricity & internet are working, so it would be a great day, IF I didn’t have to get out of the house. Unfortunately, it is my son’s bowling league day, so I’ve got to take him to it, and do some shopping while I’m in town. We didn’t get any of the freezing drizzle, rain, sleet or snow here that they predicted. Wichita may have gotten a little, but from the news, it must not have been too bad, no schools are cancelled. However, it is bitterly cold here. Currently 10F, but with gusts of 33mph, wind chill is -10F. Actual temp (not wind chill or “feels like”) for tomorrow morning is predicted at -6 F. Which leads me to my survey question… I know here in KS we can get below zero actual temps in the winter. (Thank goodness, usually just single digits, but below zero isn’t record setting. We only have to go back to 2004 to find temps this low before.) We also get above 100F (actual, not “feels like”) almost every summer. Is there any other areas where BOTH extremes happen fairly often?

Good day *Rmom. See, I knew my weather was pretty good.

Good Morning Rmom

Snow still coming down like crazy here!

good early afternoon, Tribe too much to catch up on so i can’t comment on everything (i can hear everyone saying, “thank goodness,” from here); but i have to let Dry know she was correct on the question i posed her yesterday. also, on the subject of “radiating heat like a space heater” which DocT was talking about earlier today, i am exactly the same. in summer, i have a lot of difficulty in dealing with temps in the 90’s, but winter poses no problems at all. lastly, the ND photo Lonewolf posted for bmonk & DocT reminded me of a couple i have on my computer at work. a little place on the island of Newfoundland called St. Anthony’s where the snow regularly rises to the rooftops. they are right on the tip of the peninsula which sticks up from the top of the island and must get “lake effect” type snow from both sides. i like winter, but it isn’t a place i’d like to live.

hi Rmom i think the Canadian prairies get similar weather extremes. i know Calgary has temps that can be well below zero and then get a chinook off the mountains that has everyone golfing in February, but i don’t know if it goes that far apart over the year.

Hello Yguy!

Hi yguy! I’ve been meaning to ask you and always forget, have you been to the CN Tower? I’m sure you have. I loved that! I was terrified going up that high, but it was SOOO COOL once you got up there! And all the wind on the outer viewing deck, crazy! I’d love to go back there again!

Hi, cleo, Terry, Doc, & yyyguy! Thankfully, we don’t stay in extreme cold for long periods. We usually get a spell in February with 60’s or 70’s. Our latest frost is usually between March 15th & April 15th, so even though winter can get harsh here, it doesn’t last as long as some places. We’ll have to ask our Canuck friends if it gets above 100F (I’ll let someone else do the metric conversion) in the summer on the Canadian prairies. I’m guessing if it does, it would in ND where bmonk is at, too. But I think the 100 degree range ends in Nebraska, although I’m not sure.

And I’m back from doing chores, I like having only one class on Thursdays and Fridays. I also like having the Great Lakes as a buffer from the cold temperatures. If that means a little extra snow, then so be it.

Good afternoon tribe.

We are supposed to get a dusting to 2” of snow (depending on who you believe). I’m ready to go flush an ice cube so we get a bunch.

Rmom 100F is in the neighbourhood of 40C, (body temp in Celsius is 37) and i know from watching weather news that it does get that high in some areas of Saskatchewan - though rarely. your Feb temps sound like the Chinook temps Calgary gets, you probably just have a different name for the phenomenon. Dry i have been up the CN Tower twice, but it’s been WAY too long since my last visit (1981). living this close, we tend to take it for granted - just like some of the other “tourist” oriented things. my second trip was made at night to look at all the city lights. gorgeous. (and i can see the tower from my window.)

looks like i get #100 for my “goodbye” post. time for work, so i’ll bid you all adieu.

(((Tribe)))

so i ran off for a bit, sorry. got the kitchen picked up again, ana has been in time out for about 30 mins now, I DID NOT PUT HER THERE. dad put her in time out told her she could get up after about 10 mins and she had a fit and didnt listen so he told her to stay there. what happened to the sweet baby she used to be?

Morning Saucy and Rmom and Jdoc well afternoon here.

good afternoon all

I was going to say, we do get above 100F (38C) on occasion, but it’s pretty rare, and there are not even all that many days when it hits 90 (32C), but almost always at least a few every summer–maybe 20-40 most summers.

We’re far enough from the Rockies that our Chinooks are much gentler affairs–trees don’t explode from thermal stress, for example, when the temp rises 40+ degrees in 15 minutes. When we get one, it might go up about 20 degrees in the course of an hour or so. Still fast enough to notice, but not like some get.

Well, I think it might be time to rid myself of the Christmas beard. That is going to make it a bit chillier outside though. I’ll be back in a minute.

Good Afternoon Saucy!

hi yguy bye yguy

Carmy reply last night- um they had some personal stuff on that link so i didn’t post it, but i will see what i can do for you.

Shika you waite till i go to bed to come out of hiding. shame on you, well ill see if i can find you, i had pland on it already.

lets see i found, marg, dry, carmy, doc, jfri, rad, joy who else??? i need to find my elders. Dry tell me who else to find please. :0)

oh and i found jdoc i think. yea i did. we had a party on winnie the pooh. :0)

@Tabby, sounds like Ana’s having a day like Calvin yesterday and today…

With apologies to those who hate the stuff….

It may snow tonight - a whole 1/2” is expected. They are already considering canceling school tomorrow

RE: the strip - My first day on my 2nd job as a nurse on an ambulatory care unit, I walked into a patient’s room who was post-op plastic surgery. I walked back out again - I had never seen such a sight. Hate to think what WInk is going through!

I never liked being a nurse….

Gave it up for Lent in ‘85 and forgot to take it back up again.

Good Morning/Afternoon Celecca

Good afternoon, Doc

Taking a quick run through the toons while I enjoy this unexpected moment of stillness.

I remember WTP, that was back in aut nine, I believe.

Granted, but, I can always go back and reappreciate. I’m doing that with Pogo right now. 1953 - Walt Kelly’s slammin’ McCarthy.

doc I wish gocomics hadn’t dumped Prickly City, a lot of our history was there! Sigh!

celecca my mom was a nurse for over 40 years, and a Lt. in the army nurse corps during WW2. She loved nursing! A lot of times it made her sad, a lot of times happy, but she felt it was her calling, to help others. She was disappointed I think, that I didn’t follow in her foot steps. I just couldn’t do it.

RMom, Thank you for the other post also. Made me think correctly if you know what I mean. It is true & I feel better. I need to practice that always.

Hello yyyguy and Saucy. Just a quick stop to say hibye. I just made a batch of granola. Anybody stopping by in the wee hours can help yourself to some. I put it in where I keep the Booker’s so nobody would have a problem finding it.

I am off to work in the darkroom. BBL

@Dry Growing up (small town), it seemed I had only 3 choices - be a nurse, be a teacher, or get married. When I was three, I wanted to be a nurse, so my future was decided then. It didn’t matter that I was terrible in math, it didn’t matter that I enjoyed performing and fine arts. I had to go through two years of therapy in nursing school just to get through, and I was always begging to quit. I honestly tried for 6 years to work as an RN, and was never happy.

I admire anyone who works in nursing. It just wasn’t for me, either.

BBL.

Good Night Doc

Catch ya later.

doc go back to yesterdays, i THINK i posted it somewheres. not sure. i am running around its about time to get read to head out to see my friends but i have to worry about ana and get us both ready so im starting early we dong have to leave till 2:45 or so. ill be in and out.

i am now ticked off as heck

Walking buddy just called me and hung up on me. what the heck.

okay, im all dressed and ready to go, now fot the child. also have to stop at the store to get her some juice and a snack, so im going to leave a little early to get that done.

got my hair straightened, it looks okay, but the weather wont alow it to look good. where did you all run off to?

okay all bbml peace and love tribe you know who you are. ;0)

Gee, DocT, did we ever decide what happens when we mix anesthesia and Nuclear Coffee?

I’m also wondering what all procedures Winky had done…did the doc go a little far? Did he really need his cheekbones shaved?

Poor Wink, but you couldn’t tell him, could ya!

I too am wondering what Wink is going to look like, hopefully he will still be his cute self.

Greetings all. I just stopped in this late to see who was or has been here.

About the weather, it is time for all this cold to go. A few years ago we were delivering the morning paper in Edmonton. We didn’t have any snow until New Years night but then it forgot to stop. They finally had to plow some of the side streets and we had to climb over piles as high as my head. The temp during that time was -40 or worse for six weeks straight. [I doesn’t matter what system you use, tht’s COLD] It felt like a heat wave when it finally warmed up to -20C. Granted that was a bit unusual but temps of -20C or worse are common. I live for those Chinooks in winter.

Now if I may quote someone, how much longer until spring?

Cleo I’ll bet he’ll look the same after shelling out thousands of dollars, or else he’ll look so ridiculous that we’ll flood the Big Top with tears of laughter!

Serena Have I told you lately:

I HATE WINTER!

No, Dry, we had forgotten. Why don’t you let us know how you really feel. Don’t hold back now.

I have had a rough day. I think I need a Booker’s. I managed to replace the empties that Dry & JFri left about. One thing you can’t accuse either of them of being is neat.

home safe, spent about 3 hours with two of my best friends and ana and kinsey. :0)

going fix supper wish me luck bbl

I’m back! I think I’m beginning to thaw out so I can type. Actually, I bundled up pretty good today, so my nose was the only part that got down right miserable. Terry - You’re welcome. I’m glad I can help. yyyguy - Thanks for the metric conversion. Somewhere around here I should have the formula, but I don’t have it memorized, and didn’t have time to look for it. bmonk - In KS, we don’t summer’s arrived until it hits 90F. I haven’t ever heard those warm spells in the winter called by any special name, but I think they are a wee bit more gradual here. Usually takes a day or more to climb up that much. Now, we do have cold fronts that can drop temperatures that much that quickly, but I don’t think we get the sudden warmth. When I was single, my car tag always expired the end of February, so I would wait until a warm spell came to take care of that task. Very rarely did I have to do it in the bitter cold. We can say a lot of bad things about KS weather, but boring isn’t one of them.

Don’t burn yourself Tabby.

Digital Frog said, about 9 hours ago Morning All! We’re supposed to start climbing above the freezing mark tomorrow, I hope they’re right.

DigitalFrog Climbing what? A mountain?

Poor Wink! I wonder what he looks like now? After the swelling goes down that is.

Hello Shika

Cleo, I’m headed out to pool league. I be thinking of you and your day when I order that first drink. :-)

I’m told that in the Yukon, if the weather is below - 35 o C, they tell people to stay indoors.

When a fellow student went there over the holidays, it never went below - 30 0 C without the wind chill, so she was able to travel.

HI TRIBE!

In case you missed my entrance.

Shika hello dear.

Good luck Terry.

Hi Terry Good luck at your game.

Tabby I was working instead of going to bed. I checked in and couldn’t help noticing you were the historian for the Tribe. I’d love to see when I arrived.

Tabby Lynn said, 21 warnings ago

“going fix supper wish me luck bbl”

Umm–do I dare even think of eating a supper that would require luck in its preparation? LOL!

Hi cleo! Enjoy your bookers. I’d join you, but I have homework to do. I just dropped in to say hi and chlll for a couple of minutes.

Pardon the pun, it being very chilly out here.

bmonk Come to think of it, “wish me luck” isn’t the ususal thing to say before dinner.

Unless I am cooking, LOL!

(I’m kidding. I’m not that bad a cook.)

Shika - You’ll only need a couple of seconds outdoors here (or where you are) to chill. Minutes might make you more than just chilled.

I realized after my post that she might be referring to her habit of self-injury, In which case of course we wish her luck!

Minutes might lead to being a Popsicle, one of the “frozen chosen”!

Since becoming a member of the Tribe I have really grown to feel lucky with our winters. We can have some bad storms, flooding instead of snow, but all in all not bad. I am certainly glad that I am no longer a neighbor to you bmonk. Snow, I enjoyed as a kid, but now…not so much.

Hey! Watch who you call the “frozen chosen” bmonk! Can I help it if I am in the Anglican church? :-D

I love snow, but that is because I don’t have to shovel it. It is pretty to love at, and fun to be in.

For a while, anyways.

Rmom Sounds too cold for me where you are.

BBL

Cleo the luck part is to beable to get it done with the child being a little pain. grr.

Hi shika hows it going?

so i found out what i have been doing so wrong. i keep saying “Lord please give me pacitence help me out down here” and you should NEVER pray for pacitences bc he will teach you how to have them by giving you times you need to use it. like now.

Hi Tabby Always pray for patience. Yes, you will have times like these, but he will help you deal with it. Keep praying.

I’m fine, and should be working, so I am turning of the computer for a while to finish my reading.

Stay safe Tabby

shika thanks.

:-D

Tabby what are you having for supper? I need some ideas for rmr.

Dry you ask that question at the most perfect time. :0) bc i have a question for you about something you said 9 months ago…..

its bold and italic

Dry said, 9 months ago

GEEZ! I don’t get on for one day, and you guys just fall apart!!

JFri You’ll be fine! It’s called a “tan”. :-) just be careful and start using sunscreen!

doctortoon has a strange white box in the kitchen! Do like I did to the one I had in my kitchen! I shot it! :-D

I’ll have to go back and check yesterdays posts to see what ya’ all had to say! Joy did you stir up any trouble over SOTU? :-)

YOU SHOT YOUR STOVE!? woman you are crazy!! love ya

Still not snowing. That could be a BAD sign! It was supposed to start 2 hours ago, which usually means the storm is hung up somewhere longer than it was supposted to be, which means.… . more snow than they said before.

It’s all doc’s fault, I just know it!

Dry we are having hamburger stakes with mashed tators and sweet peas.

also have a cranky kid would you like that also?

someone asked i think it was doc if i found when we when to P. City.. i found this.

JFri said, 9 months ago

Joy, Dry Shall we pick on Prickly City tomorrow?

jfri and Dry

have a favor to ask of you.

Sounds like a good supper, if you feed me, I’ll take Ana off your hands for awhile!

I remember that! I loved Prickly City! We had such fun over there!

Dry you didnt answer though. YOU SHOT YOUR STOVE!? what?

i know i loved prickly city as well.

il feed you you take her, deal! sold! when can you get here? i have had her for a full 24 hours pluse some now. grrr. since 1:20 yesterday till now. all night even.

bbs maybe.

back sooner then expected.

Tabby,

where you going girl? What about my supper?

Where’d Cleo go? Is in the dark room again?

we must have move around april 20th or so to prickly bc we are all apsent on pooh

Dry here is you supper.enjoy. im not going anywheres i have a major headace and a bad kid

can i barf now?

confermation we have moved

http://www.gocomics.com/winniethepooh/2009/04/28/

If you must, Tabby–but don’t get it on the computer parts.

@DocT, the girls must have been distracted by mounds of snow…

bmonk thanks. my head hurts that bad right now

Dry found u again.

http://www.gocomics.com/bigtop/2009/03/01/

(((tabby))) I’ve had migraines like that - no fun!

Doc i am so totaly jelous right now. I had ana for company in my bed last night. fun fun fun the child talks in her sleep, moves around like a crazy thing and snores. sleep is overrated right?

BTW, Tabby, did you check out the Calvin & Hobbes strips for yesterday and today? Sounds like someone who’s in a bad mood–[Ana?]

Dry I was watching an old 1950s TV show on the internet. Talk about a whole different era of innocence. Not always good but plenty naive.

bmonk yes i did and yes it does.

Doc

hows the baby doing?

rmom thanks it dosent help that i have not had much food today and that this kid is being bad and making me fuss and being loud.

doc thanks for letting it pass. ;0)

Doc I am happy with that. I am just glad that we were not cross dressing.

bbl time to eat.

DocT, the odd thing about a double entendre is that it can only mean one thing…

Tabby - I know when I have a migraine, and am waiting for my meds to take effect, dark, quiet & cool are best. I’m sure having to watch Ana is not helping right now. Is there anyone who will entertain her for a while, so you can rest? I’ve gotten migraines from fasting before, so I know that can cause them. Lack of sleep, too, so it sounds like you have more than one factor. I hope you have some meds around you can take for it. I have prescription stuff, but my 20 year old son gets them occasionally, and the over-the-counter stuff works for him.

Doc we got a new bed this past summer and I have never had better nights sleep. It is all that I can do to haul my butt out of bed in the mornings.

Doc - Sounds like a card I have that I’m trying to decide if I’m bold enough to give it to my friend. (Front) You know you’re getting older when someone ask if you’re “getting enough”… (Inside) …and you think they’re talking about sleep.

Doc - I do appreciate your style. Those of us who’ve already had our minds corrupted will get it. Those who haven’t, won’t.

Rmom, my friends would get a real chuckle out of that card. But my friends aren’t your friends. LOL

Doc I slept on a futon for years and loved it. We just bought a new cover for our old futon, which serves as our movie watching couch and it looks wonderful. But, my new mattress is the best thing that I have ever slept on. Good mattresses aren’t cheap, I was expecting to spend a few hundred dollars, talk about naive. We bought this mattress because it was a demonstration model and they took a thousand dollars off the price. Can you believe that??? Now I am glad that we spent the money. I spend about 8 hours a day in it. It is worth the cost.

Cleo what were you watching? No doubt I know it! LOL!

Dry I was watching a show that I never saw before and I watched lots of TV back then. It is called “Trouble With Father” and I saw the first episode on youtube.

I vaguely remember that title. Harry Morgan?

I am off to din din. See you all later.

No Dry, Stu Erwin (SP).

Cleo - This friend & I have become close, but we don’t have a long history with each other. Since each of us have been married to our husbands for over 25 years, that topic hasn’t been discussed between us.

Geez I spent $60. bucks on a Pacific Coast Hotel Collection down and feather pillow, and I thought that was bad! But I so LOVE the pillows at Hilton Gardens, Courtyard Marriots and Hamptons I just had to have it! Sleep real well now! I LOVE MY FEATHER PILLOWS! And “they’re mine, ALL MINE!” BWAAHH!

I happen to love our king-sized waterbed - and it didn’t cost anywhere near that much! (Of course, part of the attraction this time of year is climbing into a nice warm bed…)

back kind of. about to do dishes.

rmom quite?? whats that?

no noone to watch her but me. bro is making her mad right now. grrrrr.

dishes. bbl

I need a BIG shot of Bookers!! cleo, whaddya mean we’re not neat??

**DOC YOU LIED!

NEVER MIND THAT I’M MAD, REMEMBER CARMY! THE WOMAN WITH THE MACHETES, AND SHE AINT’T AFRAID TO USE THEM, YOU KNOW!

JFri yeah, what’s he talking about, not neat? Geez! I’m neat! You on the other hand, well you’re a man, ‘nuff said!

i can sure feel the love Dry has for you jfri some nights more then others. lol

hi you two!

doc what you doing lieing to my friend? shame on you, dont make me sick Carmy on ya!

Dry, so Doc is getting shy, hm, we’ll have to think up a new plan. We will get him, oh yes we will!

speaking of doc i found him on BT also.

http://www.gocomics.com/bigtop/2009/03/06/

hello Carmy

Dry, what the HECK is AINT’T??? And yes, I AM a man! That’s the only reason the job got DONE!!

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

Found Akenta on bt

a whole new side of Wink

bbl need to shower while dad has Ana.

JFri ain’t is in the dictionary these days, sir! And I love that the job got done! Masterful work on my part, I pretended I couldn’t get the paint mixed, so he steppped in and said “Let Me Do It” and before long, I was moving further and further away, and he was doing more and more painting! LOL!! And then I went and got the Bookers! SNERK! :-P :-P :-P :-P

okay so i have been gone for what 24 to 26 mins and only one post? hello peoples!!!

you know what i hates? when you are running the hot watter on high and its only kind of warm. grrr!!

ana is in the tub now. playing i enjoyed my shower in quite by myself with no little one bugging me. it was nice. but im gonna miss her when i go back to school sigh i sound like a parent.

where did Carmy Go?

DRY go to march 18, 2009 on bt. they are picking on your boy pete, keep going poor kido.

what happened to this being a kids comic strip?

JFri & Dry the only thing neat about you two is the way you drink your Booker’s.

JFri & Dry the only thing neat about you two is the way you drink your Booker’s.

“How about a Punch- in-the-face-o-gram?”

and Dry aggred sigh

Rmom I understand. My friends are all very upfront and very few topics give cause for pause. Your friends and mine just have been raised in very different environments and I am sure that some of it has to do with where we live as well.

Everything okay Tabby?

Cleo yes that was from BT about 9 months back or so. lol funny the dog said that

this is greatness!

i still dont feel good. i want ice cream. sigh

You should start making your own ice cream Tabby. It is easy and oh so tasty.

Poor Tabby! I’ve got some Blue Bunny chocolate and vanilla, I’ll send you some.

I am off to watch a movie. If I return it means that I did not fall asleep in front of the blinking TV. Wanna lay odds on my return?

Cleo we heard you the first time! We get it, you don’t thnk we’re neat and leave a mess! :-D Now since you mentioned Bookers… This gal is getting thirsty!

april 12, my first post on bt.

It’s okay with me, Tabby

Tabby Where am I?

@Johanan Rakkav Only if you spell it Yappy Nuts, although I suppose that “Yappi” does have a certain J’ne sais quoi.

SHIKA

wow! shika you have been here since day one of the tribe under the bt? didnt know that.

this is pretty much our tribe.all under one big top. so great.

as of April 13, 2009 we have been a tribe under the big top. we are a family and no one is gonna change that. remember who we were then and who close we have become look at us now. we have became a family. we have gotten through some rough spots and some, well alot of trolls. lets not change guys lets be us forever. we shall remain a family.

Carmy thanks. ill do so in a few

shika welcome back sis, you are in the middle i think of the first page.

Shikamoo said, 9 months ago I love this one because it borrows from Calvin and Hobbes. Brian Basset is not only a great cartoonist, but he has discriminating taste. Edit CommentDelete Comment

Shikamoo said, 9 months ago I’m afraid I have to say I prefer Brian Basset as the artist. I couldn’t figure out what had happened to Adam and Laura- they don’t look well. (sorry about this, but it’s true.) Edit CommentDelete Comment

Dry said, 9 months ago information, Brian only does the Sunday strips now, and I think that will end soon as well. He’s putting all his efforts into Red & Rover, another GREAT strip. M.B. give Mr. Harell a chance! He die a great job with “The Big Top”. Sure it looks different but look how many strips have transitioned from one cartoonist to another and are still going strong!

Shikamoo said, 9 months ago Since you are a cat, you can’t be that bad. I’ll give him a chance, I just like the expressions Bassets draws better. The jokes are comparable though. Edit CommentDelete Comment

shika i guess you found your slef. :0)

This is where Dry alerts me to Big Top. My first day on Go Comics, March 15th 2009.

margueritem said, 8 months ago

Gutten morgan, although it’s still night as I type this. It looks like this will be the new spot for a while, until it gets overwhelmed with trolls. Just don’t feed them, they can’t stand being ignored.

wow sounds like some things never change.

Shika what comic?

Dry Shows up here March 25th, Doc on March 26th.

wow some history i am reading now!

Shika hello again

LOOks like the party set up about April 13th, 2009

Tabby I am doing your work for you. I asked you to find me here on Go Comics.

You got lost!

i am guessing shika didnt read the post today. he he.

SHIKA!! I DID FIND YOU STOP DOING RESHEARCH AND READ. SILLY! LOL LOVE YA

Pulling a Shika move here. Just to reply to Cleo that women usually talk most about what is wrong in their lives. If something’s okay, then we’re not feeling the need to talk about it as much. (Unless they aren’t friends, THEN it might be bragging time.) Therefore, applying that standard to the not-discussed-topic, you might understand it isn’t a lack of openness as much as contentness. I’m a lot more open about that topic than most - to my sons’ embarrassment sometimes. But I figure that if I don’t tell them, who should? Of course it is kinda funny now that they are past the curious stage - the 20 year old doesn’t think we need to do it anymore, since we’re not trying to have more children. LOL! Well, off to bed. I’ve got to spend most of the day tomorrow at my Mom’s house - meeting with the realtor & cleaning out stuff, so I’d better get rested.

Well, fancy that. I didn’t know I was here the first day of the party, but I must have heard the laughter and joined in! I’d forgotten that. I was in the middle of exams I see.

I didn’t read far enough Tabby Thanks for finding me.

shika i told you i would and when i make a promise i keep it. :0) see i do loves ya.

i must say i am sorry to you for something, but will not do it here. if you get my drift.

Good job Tabby! You found our original history and where Shika joined us!

Dry it was fun also! whats funny is that this was the most fun with hist i have had ever!

I am glad to see how long shika has been with us.

That was interesting.

Interesting? More like psycho!

Psycho?
