Big Top by Rob Harrell for January 25, 2010

‘Morning, Cleo! I saw Bobby Flay in a showdown for shrimp and grits. I’ll have cinnamon toast and two eggs, over easy, thanks!

Goodnight!

I wish we had the Waffle House on the WC.

My son went to a LuftWaffle in CA!!

Good morning and Happy Monday. cleo thanks for the breakfast (and the grits). Quiet here last night?

I will not eat. I will not eat. Day 25 of my diet. Hey is that an eggMcmuffin walking down the street with a cup of nuc coffee? I will not eat I will not eat I’m not tempted by CLEO’s breakfast feast at all. I will not eat . I will not eat. Did you know that at 5:52 monitors look and smell like french toast? I will not eat

Morning TRIBE! How come there are folk marks on my screen?

Hi lewreader never noticed where that smell of french toast was coming from before now :-)

Good Morning Tribe

Good Morning Yappy Nuts! Manfred, make sure you don’t pull DeNiro’s finger if he asks you to.

Hello Carmy, Akenta & Lewreader

Couldn’t sleep again with this congestion. Feels like it’s in my lungs again. I’m calling the doc this morning I guess.

Good Morning, (((Tribe)))!

While I pray, eat, read, get caught up, and generally up to speed again, you may enjoy this tidbit:

Only in North Dakota !!

Good morning all! Good luck with your sleep troubles, Terry. I’ve been having some myself, but I don’t have any illness that is related, so far as I can tell. Now breakfast. bbl

im up n now im out p&l all

Good Morning Bmonk, Johnny, Doc & Tabby

bmonk, those were some pretty good jokes. Weather there must be more exciting than the weather here in Michigan. I am off now. bbl.

Have a good day Johnny

Good morning, Tribe! I think Jeff Foxworthy has several jokes that he adapts for each locale. I’ve heard some of these before, but for KS (like using I-70 instead of I-94). The weather here is stereotypical for KS. Sunny, and winds of 25-35 with gusts around 50mph. 29F right now, 42F expected for the high today.

Good Morning All!

hello all!! so im at school no class for an hour so what do i do? well get on BT of corse!

so what are we doing today? Painting? Parties? Sleeping? what to do what to do? Eatting?

and the purple hair begins.

@Tabby and DocT, do you think Dry is related to Garfield??

doc eatting and sleeping is good.

I’m relaxing–Mondays are, pretty much, my days off. Read, follow the comics and comments, get caught up.

Hi, Doc! I’m going to start my comic rounds - BBL.

bmonk, i do believe you are right dry seems to be related.

doc you would most likely look like Jon, you dont mess with a FHIG

speaking of FHIG i hope you are having a great day. you are very loved. ((((((((((DRY)))))))))))))

so i have OJ and a kit-kat for breakfast this morning. was running late. i get free parking this week!!!! happy tabby

oh Gawd the saints have taken over my english page!! save me. this is so stupid. ugh

i know i know i should be kicked out of louisiana blah blah blah blah.

Doc ROFLMBO oh and now i look like an idiot bc im at school looking at my computer laughing my butt off.

yes, happy tabby meet not-happy tabby funny. good call.

FOOD?

doc you are going to make me look like a fool laughing in here… so what who cares make me laugh

I used to have multiple personality disorder, but we’re ok now.

i dont know if i have a multiple personality disorder, i think all women do. but ill tell you this i have road rage like crazy

@Tabby, a nice purple, or a fluorescent one? What will it look like?

bmonk rofl, not me oh lord not me i would not be here if i did that to my hair. my dad would have a stroke. lol some people already have there hair purple and such crazy colors. its scary. an odd purple not a pretty one.

a purple personality? That IS mighty confusing.

I don’t have multiple personality disorder. Yes, I do. No I don’t. Can we take a vote? … That’s twenty No, and thirty-three yes. I guess I do.

Is this the purple Tabby?

bmonk, those North Dakota jokes bring back memories.

JFri, no the sunshine left us in the late morning yesterday. It has been gray with a few sprinkles, but not bad.

Cool. I changed my avatar in another tab, and then posted. So, until I refreshed, I could see my old avatar above the new one (on the next post).

bmonk about the same yes, good job. rofl

well hey its that time again im off to get coffee for bug and drink for me and the off to class

peace and love all

Cleo, do you have to redecorate now that the house is puce and chartreuse? (At least it rhymes)

Good morning, tribe.

Pouring rain here and upper 60s right now. Then, going to turn much colder.

@Tabby: If you want to try some bright colors that don’t last too long, the kids around here use powdered drink mix. You know, the one with the big pitcher. I can’t make the trademark symbol so better not name it.

Good Morning Doc. bmonk if you saw my house you would see that we already have puce and chartreuse in our wall color scheme.

What a Great start to Spring – Only 8 days left to really find out !

Good Night Doc.

G’day peoples. Just passing thru. I see most everyone is still here, plus a few new names I don’t remember. Although I don’t always post, I do drop in once or twice a week to check out the toon. Bye now, gotta go.

WHOOOSH!!!

Rad nice to see you again. Miss your presence.

Rad good to see you again. Miss your presence.

One nice thing about Monday, is that I did remember to schedule a lunch break. Didn’t do that on Wednesday…

Roses are red, Violets are blue I have MPD, And so do I!

Interesting topic of the day. I think Cleo may have MPD, multiple post disorder!

I don’t know–I might keep the purple kitty, at least for a while. But it might be hard to explain on the other strips…

Good Afternoon Bmonk, Johnny, DFrog, Cleo, Rad, RedHatt & Saucy!

I like Free Range today–except that Doc has gotta improve his bedside (or, in this case, surgeryside) manner…

Hey, Terry, wassup?

Oh just the same old schtuff, Bmonk.

How about you, sir?

That toon was funny, Bmonk

Speaking of Doc, I feel like a cup of nuked coffee. BRB.

As I sit here, I can look out the window beside me and see the drifting snow blow by on the gusts. I’m sure glad I don’t have to go anywhere today! Yessir!

cleo, “not too bad” yesterday???? It was like we had a bovine mammal urinating on a horizontally aligned piece of granite all day here!!! (Translation: like a cow peeing on a flat rock!!!)

I’m wending my way through Book 12 of the Wheel of Time, and also through Wicked, although I’m not sure I like the premise. And then there’s the “serious” reading…

JFri sorry to here that, we got like .03 of a inch and I will not mention how nice today is. I won’t mention how nice it is at all.

Bmonk, all we’re getting here is cold and snow flurries. Nothing really to speak of.

Hello JFri

How are you doing Cleo?

Gee, I thought I was the only one napping…

Bmonk, I WAS laying down, but my mother just called to tell me her clothes dryer quit working. I’m off to see what’s up with that. BBL

one school down one to go.

quick stop home to eat then off to get books, id, and parking permit b4 class starts.

keep me in your thoughts please, its math im worried

ok out the door after i brush my teeths

@Tabby, should I pray, or work some proofs? LOL!

Hey BMonk - how is Book 12 of WoT? I’ve almost picked it up a couple of times.

I’m finding it pretty good. Jordan had much of it written, apparently, so the style is not totally changed. But it does seem to give a bit more of the, I don’t know, structure than Jordan did–relative strengths of the Aes Sedai, for example.

And, there is some assurance that the whole cycle will be over with Book 14, probably in about 2012. So, even if this world ends, we can find out what happened in Randland…

Back from my mother’s house. I think I have the clothes dryer figured out. I’ve got to pick up a thermostatic switch tomorrow after I find out who has it. Then we’ll see.

Geez, no football for two weeks! What am I going to do?! Deep breathing exercises…………………………….withdrawl?

I have been busy with odd stuff all day. Just stopped in to say hello before I make some bad.

I am not going to talk about how beautiful a day it is.

Just HOW beautiful of a day IS it, Cleo?

Cleo– Before you make some bad……………………………………?

Hello Terry. Just having fun with *JFri. He has not been as blessed with the wonderful weather we have been getting most of this month.

We have a color specialtist here right now helping with living room color choices.

I see Cleo. lol

bmonk all of the above?

okay im home, tired and worn out still have to eat and do hw and something esle i dont remember now. lol

cleo, laugh all you want! I drained all of your bottles of Bookers AND the 60 gallon cask you had hidden so I don’t care what our weather is like!!

:-D

Good Evening Tabby & JFri

tabby is becoming very annoyed!!!!!!!!!!!1

Me too. But this will also pass. lol

just to make me feel better…

!@$#^%$&%^%^&^(()&&(^%^%$%##%@#@#@!@$@%$#^$@%#%%&^^%&(&(&^&%^^$$@@@##^%##@!#!@!$#%^%$&%#@@$$@##%%()()(^^%&)((*

Ghosts in our midst?

Terry you talking to me??

Tabby, In a manner of speaking………………………………..um, yes.

terry i ment was the question for me.. sorry my brain i snot here im doing tomuch at once and im getting annoyed with the product

Tabby, I noticed you were getting upset at something, so I wasn’t inquiring until you were ready to say what the issue was. Just giving ya space, kiddo!

i just couldnt get the cd to work. now i got it im just to tired to think. sorry.

With as much as you do, don’t worry about it. No biggie.

OH OH! Tabby is annoyed. Hide the pots and pans and watch thay you don’t trip over JFri because after consuming that much Booker’s, he is probably JFried.

cleo rofl

okay i have calmed down now. i have got the cd thing to work for my math class now i can do what i need to do. so off to do hw. fun fun fun

cleo, I am NOT as drink as you thunk I am!

Good news everyone! I played in a poker tournament this evening, and I won! I got a $20 gift certificate! Cool beans!

Hello, Johnny

Congrats on winning at poker!

Thanks Terry!

“Newcomer ** to the World Series of Poker, johnnydoc5, while being the underdog is currently sitting in 4th place and it looks like he has a real shot at winning it all.”

You’re most welcome, Johnny

That is pretty much how it worked today JFri.

sorry got drawn away by my english hw wich was to read about Melissa Etheridge that then took me to the song Come to my windo

So johnnyd, what’re you going to buy us with your winnings? Huh? Huh?

JFri I didn’t mean drunk. I meant comatose.

that then lead to woodstock songs

that then lead to the one and only janis joplin

also This Janis Joplin song. :D

and they call me a youngn! funny

Lord would you buy me a mercedes benz

Girlie, you were born n in the wrong generation! Good times, good times! But now we’re mostly all old farts, and you’re just spreading your wings! ENJOY IT GIRL, EVERY SECOND OF IT! *(YOU TOO JOHNNY!) Love ya!*

Tabby, I was youtubing and I saw this. Thought you might like it. Hola Dry, Tabby, Cleo and whoever is still around!

Although, I am not a huge fan of Janis Joplin, I would enjoy myself much more in the 60’s. Long hair and sideburns just aren’t so popular anymore. Cleo, it was only $20! I suppose I could get everyone a candy bar…

Hi Johnny! I suppose you would like the 60’s because of your fav band, right?

Johnny, I’ll take an ice cream cone, one scoop, if two costs too much!

Absolutely! and my second, third, fifth, seventh-tenth bands also. Plus all those fantastic one hit wonders. (I’ve put some thought into this.:-)) I guess Queen and Pink Floyd don’t count for the sixties.

Heck, my oldest is a fan of Dylan and the Beatles, and he’s about your age, Johnny.!

Carmy hello dear. johnnyd could I just have a bittersweet chocolate bar with crushed almond. Thanks sir.

Queen and Pink Floyd had some great tunes!

Believe it or not, I am also on youtube, but watching old I Dream of Jeannie episodes. Go figure.

Believe it or not, I am also on youtube, but watching old I Dream of Jeannie episodes. Go figure.

Probably the best vocals the world has ever seen. Ok, ice cream for Dry, chocolate for Cleo.

Oh I can believe that, Cleo!

Beach Boys, Chuck Berry & Jan and Dean!!!

Heard, perhaps is a better word.

Whelp, I’ve got an early start tomorrow. Best be off to bed. Peace and love all!

I was wondering who was going to mention the surf tunes. Hola JFri!

Badfinger, Moby Grape, Electric Prunes, Youngbloods.

The Animals

THEM TOO JFRI! TRUST ME! BUT YOU LEFT OUT THE RIGHTEOUS BROTHERS!

Electric Flag & Vanilla Fudge.

Goodnight Johnny! Happy tunes to you.

and the Brothers Gibb!

I, UNLIKE SOME PEOPLE, CAN APPRECIATE ALL TYPES OF MUSIC, SO MY TASTES VARY GREATLY, BUT IT HAS TO BE REALLY GREAT COUNTRY TO GET ME INTERESTED, NO HILLBILLY, NO HEAVY METAL, NO OPERA! THAT’S OPERA, NOT OPRAH! LOL! THOUGH, SHE IS STARTING TO TICK ME OFF, TOO!

Cleo Badfinger and Youngbloods, yes. I forget the Electric Prunes and Moby Grape, but there are so many songs I like, I’m sure I know at least one of them. And I do remember the “Prunes and Grapes”, but not the songs, per se.

Jay & The Americans, The Who, Guess Who, Rolling Stones, Turtles, Kinks, Dave Clark 5, Monkees, Elvis, Carl Perkins…..

I like all types of music too. The closest tune to opera that I will hear is Bohemian Rhapsody.

Is Three Dog Night from the 60’s?

JFri threw in a trick question!

YOUR CHEATING TURD! OH NEVER MIND, I WAS THINKING OF MARLIN PERKINS FROM THE TV ADVENTURE SHOW “THE WILD KINGDOM!” ROFLACMAO!

That laugh here felt great! I needed that! BIG TIME!

Carmy, more 70’s. CCR!!!

The Hollies, Ventures, Kingston Trio…..

Dry, you’re so crazy! Marlin Perkins, LMBO!

Santana, Sly and the Family Stone… (or am I the 70’s again?)

Mamas and the Papas!

I saw Flo & Eddy from the Turtles when they were part of Frank Zappa and The Mothers Of Invention.

Carmy who cares? Santana, Sly GREAT STUFF! Lionel Ritchie, Taylor Daine, Tina Turner, White Snake, Crosby, Stills Nash and Young, BARRY WHITE, The Police, Mike and the Mechanics, Steve Miller Band, many years, many GREAT Songs. Annie Lennox, Fleetwood Mac, Eagles, Derek and the Dominoes (AKA Eric Clapton) etc. and on and on and on! :-D

Good one, Carmy!!

back and see i have started something. have not fully read just skimed carmy i will get to your link in a min. dry your tellen me! oh i wish i was around back then. it would have been great!

jfri every time i here the name beach boys the song give me the beach boys to free my sould wanna get lost in your rock and roll and drift away comes to mind, but i cant think of them the beach boys.

I always thought it was mean when they sang, and no one’s getting fat except Mama Cass. She had a beautiful voice.

LMBO!! and I’m not saying why!

Canned Heat, Buffalo Springfield, The Fugs, Velvet Underground.

Carmy did i make you laugh??? hey im young dont blame me.

Yes, Tabby, you did make me laugh and I’m not blaming you not one bit.

carmy what did i do? its the song dirft away isn’t it? come on tell me tell me tell me i want to laugh.

i need to get to bed soon. ugh. look at the time.

Tabby, the words are “give me the beat boys…” not “give me the beach boys…” But, it does sound like it. I didn’t really laugh at you. You just reminded me that my oldest sister always makes boo boos like that. Some of them have been hilarious.

Carmy rofl see what happens when the younger generations mess with “old” music?

Tabby, I know what you mean. When I was a young girl, I used to sing, “what would you do if I sang on the moon” instead of “…if I sang out of tune.” BTW, that’s the Beatles song, “A Little Help From My Friends.”

Carmy & Tabby see you on the crossover?

I’m outta here. I have to get up in a few short hours. Busy day ahead. Goodnight Tabby, Dry, JFri, Cleo and anyone I missed!

i know that song, a little help form my friends. hear it earler again and thouhght of all of you

okay i have volley ball at 9?? i think hold up lets see. yea 9 i changed classes. then bowlling after be home sometime after 12. but i need to get to bed now. its late and i have an early morning and long day ahead of me.
