Big Top by Rob Harrell for February 16, 2010

whos driving and who has shot gun? im under the seat so i can sleep.

off to any breakfast place you feel happy with.

Poor pete!!

Yguy and BC13 see the last of last nights posts to you from me.

Pete, I’ll be glad to be your mother if you’ll have me! What’s one more kid?

I’m in the trunk so I can sleep too. Besides, I don’t think my driving skills are appreciated. Someone must have been talking to my husband.

Good Morning, Tabby! I’m with you about Poor Pete. How come you didn’t tell us who your favorite star is? Who is it?

Ah, I feel sorry for Pete, but at least he has some who love him. Tabby Don’t know where we’re goin’ or what we’re havin’ but I’ll take shotgun - don’t want this Tribe giving me directions - I’d never get anywhere. Yguy you’re right Canada has four medals. Not shabby for such a small population.

I’m joining Tabby under the seat so I can sleep too! Good night all!

’Morning Dry! is there an echo here? snerk

Boy, Dry and Carmy what happened to your posts? Is it doubletalk???

carmy and Dry seem to be having the same problem i was on Dog eat doug. :0(

Carmy idk, i dont watch enough tv. lol

’Morning Dawn, I have no idea what happened. All is well now. Goodnight Dry!

Tabby, what about movie actors?

Congrats to Canada on their first ever gold medal on their home turf!!!

Tabby, it doesn’t have to be a movie or TV actor. It could be a singer, a sports star, or whatever.

Dawn–I’m doing fine. Thank you. And how are you doing? Talk to you later.

Good Night Marg, Dawn & Tribe

Good morning and Happy Mardi Gras? No one driving to breakfast? All I find was a car with people sleeping under the seat and in the trunk. And no, I’m not volunteering to drive.

Hello Everyone!

On January 31, 2010, Wiley responded:

Thank you, celecca, but it’s just 10 years with Universal and Uclick. On Feb. 16th, it will be 18 years of Non Sequitur.

Shikamoo, I Blame You! During the last two days I have twice said words that should not be said in polite company when I appeared to be alone. I was struck by instant remorse, and apologized anyway. Thank You!

Have A Good Day! Good Bye 4 Now!

Good Morning Tribe

Hello Akenta & LuvH8 I hope you both have a great day!

Happy Mardi Gras!

Good morning TRIBE!

Too many people sleeping and nobody driving. I’ll stay here. Oh, oh, could you bring me back some pancakes for Shrove Tuesday and 32 Oz of DOC Ts best. Don’t forget a lot of napkins.

Does the Marti Gras parade have snow plows this year?

Good Morning Lewreader!

Good Morning Doc. I’ve been working on putting together a complete set of these on the ‘puter.

Good Morning, everyone.

Is it time to get up already? ————- Dry I saw your post last night. Thanks. I have both movies and Rio Grande. I couldn’t remember James Caan being in Rio Lobo though. Here’s why. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0066301/ Rio Grande also starred Wayne & O’Harra.

One last thought for yyyguy on McLintock. Though John Wayne may be in familiar surroundings in that movie, he was playing in an unacustomed comedy role which I still thought showed some versatility on his part. Much like Cagney & Davis in “The Bride cam C.O.D.” McLintock, in my view is a classic in spite of not having the supporting cast he had in “The Quiet Man.”

OK, that being said, I’ll shut up now.

Doc, I agree with all you’ve stated about Rob Harrell. It would have been nice for Big Top to continue it’s run. It’s an awesome strip.

Good Morning BC13!

Hello again, Lonewolf and good morning Doctor Toon

BC13, when I get started on the Duke Dvd’s, I can watch them all day long.

Lonewolf I have enough Duke in my collection to run a week-long marathon. I think I can say the same of Bogi as well.

BC13

Bogi?! That’s another good one my friend! I have many of his, too.

Lonewolf I have a collection of over 400 that lean toward movies from the 30’s through 50’s.

Good morning Doc, Lonewolf, BC13, and all!

I never know what y’all will have yapped about overnight. It’s usually like a present to look back on the conversation. Things to remember, things to look up. Thanks!

*Poor Pete. I’d take him.

Good morning celecca

Good Morning Celecca!

Good to see you, dear.

I agree, I’d take Pete in too!

BC13

I have many old movies on VHS & Dvd, but not to that extent. I have been slowly changing all of them to Dvd’s.

Doc T I have been trying to cut back on your coffee! (Down to 3 pots per day) When I did the jokes I wasn’t paying much attention, I bliiped where necessary.

Lonewolf As am I. I am trying to replace old favorites first, or which-ever VHS is in need of replacing. I recently replaced High Noon and will soon replace the Invisible Man.

Just wanted to say Hi! and Bye! to Everyone

zzzzzzzz…….now

BC13 It’s very time consuming, but well worth it.

Take it easy, LuvH8.

Catch you later.

Not to mention costly when you have a collection such as mine.

I hear you BC13 about the cost part of it. I’ve never counted how many I have on both media. I’m not sure I want to know……………………………….

Good Morning Everyone! It’s still too flipping cold in FL!!

I need to get my day going here.

Have a great day everyone. Take care Doc, BC13 & Celecca.

Good Morning to you Cleo when you get here. I’ll catch you later.

Yes, me too. See ya later.

Good Morning all. Poor Pete.

Bye BC13, have a good day!

Hola Cleo! Are you still enjoying some nice weather in WA?

I heard you mention Hilary Swank. She grew up on the lake that I live on and comes back to town every so often. I think she has a home here.

Hello Krewd, Welcome to the Big Top! Doc’s a yappy old coot, hee hee!!

Welcome Krewd any friend of Doc’s is a good addition.

Carmy, it was beautiful yesterday. This morning is warm with a steady downpour. This weather can’t be good for ski conditions at Whistler and Cyprus Mountain. The Olympic officials must be on stress mode.

From yesterday comments. Rmom the big crash scene was not only on the local news but the national news I also live in Wichita. It was in KCK on I170(I70?) due to snow. Major traffic pile up. I don’t remember how many hurt. This happened over the last weekend. Back to work today and the mail will be very slow. Hello to everyone on this strip. Gonna be a beautiful day. The ones out east is alot more of that snow melting? Saw on the news creative use for trying to get the snow to melt. People going back to work.

Krewd, is that a photo of Max? I’m being a nerd and I’m being bold! Cleo, I read about the snow problem at the Olympics. Of course when it’s all over, they’ll probably have blizzard. Doc, you just may regret it, but the rest of us with have a lot of fun at your expense.

tsk tsk, Doc! Old Joe’s going to have a conniption fit!

‘morning all!

Morning, tribe! Thanks for the reply, kab2rb. I don’t live in Wichita - but in Butler county. My mom lived in Wichita until her death, and so I have to go in to her house almost everyday to work on getting her stuff sorted & cleared out for the new buyers. I’ve lived in or near Wichita almost my whole life, so I know the area pretty well.

Doc, shall we start taking bets? Good Morning DFrog!

Good morning, Doc!

good morning peoples

ill bb in a few dont have tomuch fun while im gone

You’re going to have to let me know where the rumble ends up being. It’s sort of like a car wreck - you wouldn’t want to be involved, but it is interesting to watch.

Good Morning DFrog & Rmom.

Krewd, Max is a cutie. FYI, Joe gets really annoyed at being called JAD. Doc, I’m going with Krewd, too. Hi Rmom!

Hi, Cleo & Carmy!

BC13 HOPE YOU SEE THIS! It was El Dorado and James Caan played Mississippi. I knew he was a state LOL! like Ricky Nelson and his character Colorado!

Since Valentine’s Day is over, I thought I’d change my avatar. This one happens to be a painting my mom did.

Doc are Boots and Titten irritated with your lack of presence?

Doc, I went and saw For Heaven’s Sake. Wow, he was really being a big jerk. I loved your final comment.

Doc, what’s those words of wisdom of yours, “Play nice!”

Doc, did you dare correct JAD? You think you know better than the provider of information not requested? I hope you know what your up against.

I’m constantly amazed and appalled at the mental gymnastics he must go through to justify his actions biblically. I’m afraid there is no reasoning with someone like him.

Well, THAT does it!

Hello & Welcome Krewd

My name is LuvH8, and among other things I have difficulty controlling myself from offerring unsolicitated advice and drawing too much attention to myself. (So please give me a little time to work on reforming before you go fishing for me.)

Since I am not recovered yet, I offer this advice:

When you are arguing with an idiot, make sure the other person isn’t doing the same thing.

We really have no idea what is going on in the lives of the other posters on the site. So, don’t go too far please.

That being said, I really don’t have room to talk and wish you fun in your fishing.

Just stopped by in an effort to smile before facing the real world today.

Now that I have even laughed: Be Happy Everyone!

Thank you Doctor Toon a compliment from you is always appreciated.

Johnnydoc5 - Was a provider of information not requested a reference to moi? If so, Aaah, Ha ha haa haaaaaaaa! BTW Still not sure why I like your name so much.

Well done Krewd! I just saw it. I tried being nice to Mr. Doty, but he was more concerned with proofreading my posts. So I don’t think he cares what anyone says to him, so long as they are grammatically correct. Doc, I don’t need anymore bad influences at the bar. I’ve already got alcohol and that is a bad one as it is. And I would say I am more east of you than north, for the record.

Good morning, tribe. Welcome, Krewd. Will look on events with interest.

No LuvH8, it was for JAD. I am not sure why my name is so fascinating to you, but that is cool. It was my nickname as a kid, so I thought I’d use it.

Doc, thanks for the reminder about the trolls. Remember Krewd, don’t feed the trolls! Once you do, they NEVER go away.

I think I need to catch some zzz’s whilst I can, so I’ll have to cut my tune tour short for now. bbl

i may not be on anymore today. I just got some very sad news. i shal talk to you all later on

Sage advice, once spoken by DocToon, if you don’t like the person, or the comments DON’T READ EM! There are a few around these boards* who post utter nonsense. I just ignore them.*

Since we are discussing nicknames and Johnnydoc5 helped me realize why I chose mine, I will explain with a

Story!!!!!

When I was in school and learning to spell love and hate were merely words spelled with four letters. They were frequently used in innocence to express a general emotion in all its different levels.

In high school, they taught us to see love and hate as not merely words spelled with four letters but as four letter words. Some of us didn’t appreciate that. We chose to follow the advice of those wiser than us. The three monkeys. Since we weren’t actually monkeys we dawned our sunglasses and earmuffs to filter us from the harsh cold reality. Sometimes because of this our words were unintentionally offensive, but we usually meant well.

One of the methods we used to avoid the loss of our innocence was to use ‘Luv’ (in writing) and ‘Wuv’ (in speech) to express love in a friendship/nonsexual way. We chose H8 to represent feelings of all degrees of hate from mild disapproval to extreme disgust, but also in fun or to let the person know we still like them. We used ‘H8 that’ or ‘H8 it’ in our speech.

End of Story!!!!!!! (please stop cheering, GEESH!)

(((Tabby)))

Krewd, I do not like the trolls and I’m sure I am not the only one that feels that way. I don’t like my intelligence being insulted and that’s pretty much why some people dislike Joe. I also do not like when the trolls try to break up the Tribe.

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

CarmyI don’t consider Joe a troll, but there are some around here who are, and people keep feeding them, Why? I guess because they can’t see the forest for the trees, so to speak.

Krewd, Don’t you kow I am practicing here? Seriously, I love words, but don’t know if I could be eloquent often enough to go anywhere with it.

Tabby Lynn - You have my sympathy, and good wishes.

Oooops! that was supposed to be know not kow.

No cookie, for me!

Krewd if YOU’RE THAT BORED, come and scrub my kitchen floor for me. I tried to get * Doc* to do it yesterday, but it was too close to his bedtime.

Krewd, I know that, I wasn’t talking about you. I was referring to the pretenders, and I’m not talking about the band. Dry, no, I wasn’t saying that Joe was a troll. I just meant that some people dislike him because of his “over” explanations. I agree, some people really need to open up their eyes a bit wider.

Okay Doc, I’ll be holding you to that promise!

BTW - I am aware I have caused trouble here, and am trying to do better. I welcome suggestions that are given, and appreciate when people choose to do so in a nice way.

No need to reply, unless you would like to provide a suggestion or five.

Thank you. On that note I will leave for today, as I do have things I have to deal with.

I will check back for suggestions, and take the time to consider any before replying.

Have a Good Day Everyone!

Doc, I went and read those remarks. Not nice of him, not defending what he said, but now maybe you understand something you didn’t before, ya’ know? :-)

Krewd, I will be your Auntie Carmy if you will be viciously protective of me too. :)

Good Morning, ((((Tribe))))!

Including, but not limited to: (((Tabby))), Dry, DocT (& Krewd), LuvH8, Carmy, cleo.

@Krewd, it may help to know that Joe has talked about a brain injury–that may be why he is rather pedantic, taken to offering excessive information that isn’t really relevant, set in his ways, and so on. Still, while it doesn’t justify his errors and his attacks, know that you are not likely to change him or his opinions.

When I find him in error on a topic, I try to be very rational and historic, offering a better understanding. It may not help Joe himself, but I figure other readers at least have the right to know the truth.

Hello bmonk! Doc, that would be like sending Krewd to Siberia. No offense, Bmonk, but your state is like the frozen tundra.

Good one, Krewd! I was going to suggest that you should save that.

@Krewd, I’m not saying that Joe doesn’t deserve some of the responses–only that, when he’s being more or less reasonable and not attacking, he isn’t half bad. However, when he does make personal attacks and judgments, I have no particular objection to appropriate responses. If he really was concerned to avoid such vitriol, he’d have someone with better judgment vet his responses.

On the other hand, while I cannot control Joe, I can control how I chose to respond, and decide whether I want to descend to his level or not. That means, in general, that no troll can force me to become a troll in return. I am the final one who decides how I act.

Well, Krewd we can dance around these issues all afternoon, but MY KITCHEN FLOOR STILL NEEDS MOPPED, SIR! You never ans. my ? about that.

I think he mentioned, Dry, that he still hasn’t done DocT’s floor, so what’s the chance yours will get mopped?

hi bunny and now I know why you’re a monk! :-)

Well it would appear that a lot has been said about our favorite pin cushion since I left. I don’t think I need to add anything all the bases have been covered. All I can say about JAD is I have a high degree of tolerance and a quick mouse finger - but once in a while he will make me laugh.

I stopped my blasts at Joe when he stated to someone giving him a hard time about his odd posts, that his brother in law had hit him over the head. Now, I just ignore him. Once, just to stop what I knew would provoke a corrective response from him on 2 Cows, when I made a joke about sausage and eggs, I said Yes, I know roosters can’t lay eggs.

Dry I did see your comment earlier and I must say that I have not seen El Dorado. Since I am not big on James Caan so it doesn’t surprise me that I haven’t seen it.

I will add 2 more Wayne favorites, though. The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance and The Sons of Katie Elder.

Doc It’sa cold and clear start to the day here in Pasadena TX where I work, but things are already getting better. Mid-50’s by 3PM.

Doc, nice diversionary tactic, my friend. Here it is 48 degrees, it rained this morning, but has stopped and is supposed to clear some this afternoon.

Clear and semi-cold. Supposed to be around 20F for highs (- 5-10 C or so) for the next several days.

wow! signed in around 1 pm and over 200 posts! only got through part of page 1 but had to reply to a couple (despite my first attempt going kaflooey). Dry you’re correct about James Caan in Rio Lobo (which WAS the movie with George Plimpton in it). Hi character was referred to as “Mon Soor” since the ‘real’ name was too long, and he wound up accidentally shooting John Wayne in the end (so to speak). i must also note to Terry & BC13 that i like Bogart as well (watched African Queen on TCM Sunday). but my favourite star, if i had to pick one, is Rigel - the end star in Orion’s belt. and now, it’s time for work. bbml

((Tribe))

I am off to town to take LilG’s mom to a doc appt. BBL

Peace and Love

BC13, El Dorado was probably his first film. And I guess you missed one of my posts last night, I love those other two.

Dry would you like to clean my kitchen floors also?

Bmonk, have i told you lately that you Rock? You do

Cleo have fun. hope all goes well

Dry I saw The Parent Trap just recently. Good movie. I’ll have to add it to my collection some time. I have Rio Bravo though. Unless I missed something, I think those are the 2 you refer to

Dry Of course you may have missed my posts that added a couple more on my recommended viewing list.

im going out for a while with min me aka Ana and my friend bug and my bro and dad. bbml

Thanks, Tabby! You’re pretty special too! Stay good!

hey bunny I’m glad t be home, long long day at work! It’s bad when you can’t get on here for a minute or two in between work time, LOL! Everything just started happening at once!

Well, I am home. Now I have to begin dinner as LilG just left for work. Dry you will appreciate this, tonight we are having Bruscitt con Polenta, or in the crude English language, chopped meat on Polenta. Pancetta and chopped steak slow cook in red wine for 3 or more hours and is served on polenta. I also have to go to the bookmobile, but will try to come and check in with you fine folks every once and awhile.

Where the heck is everybody anyways?

Hello Cleo. I’ve been running around all day!

I just got home a little bit ago.

@cleo, it’s often rather quiet around this time of day.

Hello Bunnyface(Bmonk), how are you?

Doing well. But, time to go for a bit. Back in 30?

Hello Terry, what have you been up to today?

Cleo, I had to go see my insurance man, check the batteries for my mother’s garage door opener & front door lock and pick up some repair parts for a customer’s car I’m repairing tomorrow.

Well, I am off to the bookmobile, that should kill about 30 minutes.

Catch ya later, Cleo.

Good evening all, and Happy Mardi Gras!

Oops, that was over 40. I was busy making ashes again–lots of palms to burn.

I’ve been using a No. 10 can with a few air holes drilled in the bottom for ventilation. And gradually learning how to best use it for optimum results.

And to leave it outside so’s nobody thinks there’s a fire…

And to be sure to leave it out so there really isn’t a fire…

I still love today’s Off The Mark

Cleo your dinner sounds lovely! I’ll take any of the leftovers!

Howdy gentlemen. Good link, heh, heh…cat hair, indeed.

According to my sister, this Powerpoint video (http://www.authorstream.com/presentation/INSOMNIA555-291106-frio-invierno-winter-entertainment-ppt-powerpoint/) is from Chicago and the Midwest. I cannot vouch for it either way.

bunny I remember about 5 years ago, the beginning of our Mass was burning the previous years palms that everyone was asked to bring to the church. It was done on the back porch of the Rectory, one of my sons was one of the altar servers. A wind kicked up and Father almost burned the porch roof! He had a great sense of humor, it was funny, but scary because my son was right there.

Yes. the wind, and the nature of the palms, means they don’t burn well, but when the flames go out, they sort of “cook” with lots of smoke. However, sometimes that smoke and charcoal ignite again, and it can be quite exciting, if you are close enough…

One advantage of the can is that not so many fit that I have to worry about flames getting too big. And this year the snow banks are convenient places to perch the can, on a block of wood…

Well, time for Mardi Gras supper…

Sad to say, I won’t be having gumbo, or dirty rice, or…

Great Powerpoint link, Bunnyface

Well, it was another fine day here, temps in the low fifties and after some early morning rain, sun. We have been getting most of our rain at night, which to me is perfect. Now, we are supposed to have several sunny days in a row.

Great photos and music, bmonk!

we are back home, and have eatten dinner. we are done for the day all but baths at 6:01pm today.

we went bowling and took Ana with us. She bowled a 53 point game! first time ever bowling so so cool. She even got a spare! sha baby

Hello Tabby, it sounds like you had a fun day. I like to bowl, but do it very seldom. The way I knock down pins is to throw the ball with so much force that sheer ricochet and vibration knock them down.

Cleo it helped to get my mind off of things. then i got back here and it all came back

You said that something had happened today that was not good. Do you care to share?

I hope that you are alright sweetie.

Cleo My pastors mom, passed away today at 8am this morning. She was like a grandmother to me. I have lost family membors and friends of the family before, but never have i lost someone as close to my heart as her. she means so much to me. I know she is better off and i know where she is at. Her suffering and pain is over now. But i miss her. I love her and always will.

Tabby So sorry to hear that.

(((((((((TABBY))))))))))

I just popped in to say hi.

shika

thanks Sis i love you

Hi cleo, bmonk, Dry, Lonewolf and whoever may be here.

Re: OFF THE MARK:

Of course it’s a cat whisker. Mum’s the word. The official story is that there was this Doberman…………….

Love you too sister Tabby!

cleo I can’t believe your avatar! lol Sad, but true.

shika i love your avatar.

@((((((Tabby))))))

But now you have an advocate to pray for you…

cleo I just caught your example of your bowling style. I find that shouting at the pins works too.

Thanks Tabby I love it too. We all could use extra prayer.

Hi bmonk.

bmonk yes you are correct. thanks. shika yes we can.

“we work hard not smart” -Dirty jobs

Does “body english” work too? (That’s where you wiggle and contort your body to make the ball hit the pins.)

Hi, Shika!

Yes bmonk I find that shouting and gesturing to the pins works- “Go left, no LEFT! That’s it! A little more….!”

And wave your hands wildly.

Of course it is fun to bowl with Wii too!

Is that a bunny with antlers bmonk?

@Krewd, I’ve been taking on Joe over at For Heaven’s Sake today… My version of fun…

I am sorry ((((Tabby)))).

we jumped up and down so that helped also. she fell donw the aile a few times. lol poor baby. i almost fell pushing her ball when it got stuck

@Shika, haven’t you ever heard of a Jackalope? A very rare prairie beast. A few are big enough to saddle and ride…

Here’s a site

Howdy Doc, Shika & bunnyface.

I’d hope so. I’ve even thanked and commended him, on rare occasions…

Still, I think he is one of the more literal fundamentalists I’ve ever encountered. I just wonder what he does with texts like Mt 16:18-19, or John 6: 48-58, or Mt 26:26-29, or 1 Cor 11: 17-29. I’ll bet these verses, which Catholics tend to take literally, get a symbolic interpretation…

bmonk That can’t be true! It’s fantastic. Is it along the same lines of Bigfoot, or has it been verified?

Lightening matings?

Alas. I must return to RL. Barth awaits.

Whoops! Howdy cleo and Doc!

@Shika, the jackalope is easier to believe in when you stick your tongue firmly and as far as possible into your cheek…

Thanks for the clip about Jackalopes. I vaguely remember seeing something about them before. Mighty horny jackrabbits, if you ask me. Pardon the bad pun.

My leg feels stretched!

You’ve been pulling it!

Mua is praying forgiveness for you bmonk, for deceiving a poor innocent like me.

I like mighty horny bunnies, but they aren’t all fuzzy.

And once you can believe in the ordinary jackalope, there’s always the ring-tail pheasant-wing jackalope.

Another Shika good bye.

Alas, my time among such pleasant company is drawing to an end. Farewell, until tomorrow!

((LOL!)) That’s TOO MUCH!)

hi okay i got side tracked still am

I am leaving for dinner.

Stay strong Tabby. I am thinking good thoughts and retain the positive memories.

cleo thanks.

bbl

Carmy ill give you 2 guesses as to who that lady is in my pic. :0)

thats the station i listen to. now im gone

Oh Gee Doc! You are so naive! Ever hear of Google Earth or GPS? Geez man, the GRABBY GIRLS will be there in no time! And we brought wildcheetah’s mom a very nice older gent to sit and visit with while we do our job! Who knows, you may have a double wedding in the future! :-D

Tabby, I can’t even guess. I know a lot of the singer’s voices, but I don’t know what many of them look like. Wait, is it Mandissa?

Doc she said men were nothing but trouble! Ithink she meant you too! LOL!

Gosh Doc, you make the Grabby Girls sound like pervs!

Good Evening Tribe

Hello Krewd–Good to meet you!

How are you doing, Doc?

)))))))Doc(((((((

Great story, Krewd! lol

Carmy YES IT IS!

Good Night Doc

See you in the AM!

Spraying Glade.

Hi Shika!–I’m sorry that I missed you earlier. Maybe I’ll see ya tomorrow! :^)

Someone should try chanting goosfraba.

I came to say my final good night, and you guys are babbling goosfraba Is there something you are hiding from me?

Good Night Shika–I thought I missed you!

Hello Krewd I gather you are house-sitting for Doc?

Speaking of which, I missed grabby time- darn!

I think I may regret using that word. Sometimes it gets bleeped, even though it is not as bad as hell.

Krewd

Doc says you’re alright. That’s good enough for me.

Well. Don’t I have egg on my face? Now I can write both.

Nothing’s fun anymore!

Goosfraba, goosfraba, goosfraba! Yes sir!

Miss me? You know why I’m called Shika don’t you? I have done my reading for the night and now I’m off to bed.

Good Night everyone!

Peace and Love as Doc would say.

Hi, Shika!!

shika may you sleep well, and have a good day tomorrow. I love you sis!

Hi JFri!

Shika–It’s from a movie………………………………

Goodnight Shika! Goosfraba is from the movie “Anger Management.”

Shika i am wondering the same da ng thing what is Goosfraba lol

Hi Tabby! Do I get a prize for getting the right answer?

((((((((((((((((((((((((YES THEY ARE TABBY))))))))))))))))))

Love Ya; Girl!

Hi Shika, Bye Shika!

Tabby, your heartfelt hugs are all that matter, even if they aren’t “even.” ;-)

Dry thanks mom!

Carmy yes you do, you shall get it in a few mins.

Howdy, once again. Dinner is done and I am awaiting my lady fair for a movie, but she can dawdle.

Thanks Tabby! Cleo, LilG’s before movie ritual?

That is right Carmy.

Krewd since he doesn’t have much for tv, I suppose it would. How did you get caught up in a bar fight and get home so quick? Do you have some magic charm? :-D

Carmy and Dry you two are so great! i love you both so much! dont you ever change. thanks for the pick me ups.

((((((((((Carmy and Dry, you are the best)))))))))))))))))))

carmy here you go have some pizza!

Hi Cleo how was the lovely sounding dinner you had planned?

Hi Cleo.

I have changed my browser to Firefox recently along with my Windows 7 upgrade and I now can see the reviews of the strips in the A-Z listings. Go figure!

TabbyLynn WHERE’S MY PIZZA? GEEZ GIRL!

You are very welcome Sweet Tabby! Thanks for the pizza too. The oldest daughter made spaghetti and I just couldn’t eat it. I had toast.

Dry it was very good. It did not develop into a thick reduced sauce as they said it would, but I didn’t think it would, because it was only wine. I have cooked enough where I have a pretty good idea if a recipe is going to do what they proclaim it will. The flavor was wonderful though. The meat absorbed the flavor of the wine and it all was great on polenta. I have changed the way I cook , since I have met my wife. She likes to follow recipes, where I like to use them as a guide. Tonight, she said, after dinner, You know mushrooms would have been a good addition and I replied yes, that is what I would have added right from the beginning, along with onions. LOL

Cleo, where’s the leftovers? Tabby, love you too!!

Yeah, Tabby, and MY pizza???

Carmy why couldnt you eat it?

Dry here YOU go!

Krewd well it would appear that you do have a magic charm! Did they mirandize you? Just kidding!

Carmy, leftovers were skimpy.

Terry, I have been having Safari problems so I am using Firefox as well.

Carmy, toast, no spaghetti?

((((((((((((((((((CARMY)))))))))))))))))

im hungry now.

I do not know how many of you like nice wines, but we had a very nice Nebbiolo for dinner.

Cleo, this is the first I have used anything other than IE. And I am really getting to like it.

Tabby, I think it’s because of the cold/cough I picked up from daughter #3. I didn’t want to eat anything at all, but I have to eat before I take some medication that the doctor gave me. I have to eat and take the medication with 8 ounces of water. Luckily, I only have to do that in the morning and the evening. My appetite has been a bit out of whack.

Thanks Dry!

(((Carmy))*

I like some things better with Firefox Terry, but some things are better with Safari, so it is kind of a wash.

We are all posting at once again! LOL!

Cleo I love to use lots of onions and garlic when I cook! I love the smell of them frying in the kitchen. I often add peppers, mostly sweet because everybody but me is pretty tame in the heat dept.! I add my hot stuff later! I find such a peace in chopping vegetables, too!

I guess that’s why I like Carmy’s machetes! LOL!

Thanks Cleo! I don’t drink, but I used to once in awhile forever ago. When I was in WA, I had some Merlot at an office party and I thought it was good.

Cleo, I have never tried Safari, but have been told to try it at least for a few days. Maybe………………….later. LOL

Jfri just saw you sorry! here you go enjoy!

Dry yes, I love to just rock away with a knife. My wife uses this chopper that is really quick, but a pain in the a$$ to wash. I like the zen of chopping with a nice sharp knife.

Dry, my machetes are always at your disposal, use them well! ;-)

I enjoy wines, Cleo! But that one I am not familiar with. Is it sweet or dry? NO PUN INTENDED HERE!

We usually add our heat as we eat. We always have a little wooden container full of dried red peppers and we have a whole shelf in our cupboard dedicated to hot sauce.

cleo, as long as you don’t leave your fingers in the way!!

Dry, it is a dry very intense red that goes perfectly with Italian meat sauces that have lots of depth in their flavors. They can be pricey so we do not have them often, but you have to splurge every so often. I love good wines and we try to have an nice bottle with each nights dinner.

Cleo please keep all fingers on hand.

Carmy get well soon.

dry its still funny, and even more so when u tell us that its not a pun. :D

JFri, it is funny you should mention fingers, but my wife cuts herself with a knife much more frequently than I do . Probably because I use a knife more often.

And, more people are cut with dull knives than sharp.

heebie jeebie alert! knives and cuts and dull blades too, ACK!!!

More people are cut badly by a dull knife than a sharp one, actually, cleo!!

I hear ya’ Cleo! I cut the same finger twice! Sun. and Mon. one on each side of the same finger! And since I take a baby aspirin 81 mg daily, of course I bleed, and bleed for awhile! PITA!

Do I sound like our Tabby girl?

Is that what it is JFri? I just know that a sharp knife is so much more efficient and the blade responds correctly.

Dry, yes you do. Love ya, Tabby!

Gosh, page 8. We are hitting the numbers like we have not hit in a long, long, time. So, we should be thinking of Anniversary parties here, soon.

I was just listening to this on my CD. I love this, thought I’d share, which I think I did before, but I LOVE THIS SONG!.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZLava2fGXPw

That’s a great idea, Cleo!

Dry LOL yes you do! :0P

You are such a lamb, Carmy; snerk

Yeah, cleo, people tend to use too much pressure with a dull knife with ugly results! I use knives on a daily basis and have learned to carry several so I always have a sharp one to use.

Got to tell you that using an oyster shucking knife after several large Black Russians ain’t a great idea, either!

Snide remark aside Carmy, maybe a massive blow out party with plenty of celebrities. Maybe Thom Thom would want to be a factor.

JFri you scare me! ;-)

JFri, I do a bleeep good job shucking oysters. My local faves, kumamotos.

Movie time.

Peace and Love

Well I think since we use * Rob’s* site, and he has been so gracious, he should be our SPECIAL guest!

(batting eyelashes) are you saying I’m cute, Cleo?

Yes, a massive blow-out party sounds like a plan! I bet Thom would want to be a factor.

Dry, of course! Rob would definitely be our special guest.

carmy YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL! AND SO ARE YOU DRY

Peace and Love, Cleo!

So are you (((((Tabby Girl)))))

Blush

more bad news! ugh!!!

im done for

Oh no, Tabby! Now what?

Tabby???

my godchildrens parents are getting a devorce

Tabby, I’m so sorry to hear that.

Good (late) evening all! Celebrating Mardi Gras a bit intelligently, especially for what tomorrow has in store, but I thought I’d say hi.

Hi Johnny!

Hi Dry! Man, today was a yappy day!

Hi Johnny! Smart of you to do that.

Carmy she is pregnant right now, due march 20th and having contractions. sigh.

oh and shes smoking bc shes stressed. :0( poor baby godchild

Tabby, I’m sure the stress of the situation is not helping your friend at all. Maybe the stress is bringing on the divorce talk too.

Jdoc im going to waste my breath and tell u to behave.

Oh no, she needs to stop smoking immediately.

Yes johnny, it was a yappy day! Did you have Faschnacht donuts today?

Carmy this has been coming for a while now. they got pregnant again to help it. well it just made it worse. what to do what to do what to do.

Um, Johnny? Your avatar is a bit strange. What is it?

I did not Dry. And Carmy, it was not smart of me, for some reason my spellcheck corrected my spelling of unintelligently (which apparently isn’t a word) with intelligent. I might be leaving myself a lot of problems for tomorrow, but I don’t care.

Carmy i have been telling her to stop the whole time shes been pregnant. she tells me “im stressed so i smoke” i tell her “your hurting lucas” she says “hes protected by all of this stuff,” and pokes her belly. i shake my head and arguy back its not point wiht her

Getting pregnant again is not helping the situation. Now they will have another innocent child to add to the mix.

Oh Johnny, they are so good, at least around here, and that’s about the only time I eat donuts anymore, notice I said, “about the only time”! LOL!

Carmy it was a very bad idea. but being her friend i am there for her now

Tsk tsk, Johnny. I hope everything goes well for you tomorrow anyway.

I am sorry (((Tabby))).

Smoking is not a good thing to add to this.

Yes, Tabby, you need to be there for your friend. Dry, is that your cat’s eye view of BT? I have a coupon for a free dozen glazed donuts from Krispy Kreme and I keep forgetting to go get them. The coupon may already be expired, I’ve had it long enough.

Carmy i want krispy kreme!

Cleo thanks

Tabby are those friends in your avatar? You made some mention, but I missed any follow up. .

Cleo no, this is one of carmy and mine fav singers. the lady is mandissa. the man is a guy on my radio station i listen to

Tabby, I’ll see if I can get them tomorrow.

Gotcha!

Who did you get, Cleo?

cool beans Carmy ’ cleo got the pic.

cleo, may I interest you in a Bookers?

Carmy whom did I get? If anybody, maybe REM.

Cleo knows who Mandissa is?

carmy. lol idk he asked who was in the pic so i told him now hes up to date

Okay, I misunderstood. All is well!

JFri Booker’s sounds wonderful. Carmy, I am pretty with it music wise, but no, I have no knowledge of Mandissa.

I know who Lady Gaga is!!

Of course you do JFri. LOL

For Pete’s sake, JFri, how are you wanting alcohol now??? Carmy, I’ll be fine tomorrow, I hope…

Here ya go, cleo. Dry?

johnny, it’s only 9:41 here.

Jfrishes the one that sings that song that keeps getting stuck in my head. UGH!

Cleo you have to do some reshearch on her she has an amazing voice! love her

Cleo, I have noticed that you are pretty with it music wise! FYI, Mandissa is a Christian music singer. JFri, good for you! I’m really not up with the music nowadays. I’m really appreciating the classics and Christian music.

Alcohol.. of course he wants alcohol. And me too.

Here we go again! What a mess I had the other night!The Gremlins at gocomics are at work again!

I’m hoping too, Johnny, but I’m sure you’ll be just fine!

Sorry I forgot about the time shift. You and Cleo should have a bout with my 151. That’d put ya down right quick!

You know, I am going to call it a night.

Peace and Love

Carmy i dont like lady gaga or that kind of music i listen to the same as you, but i have a friend who gets into my car and changes my stations. :0( GRRR

The gremlins are about? I haven’t seen them yet.

Yes Carmy, that is my cat’s eye, keeping an eye on things! He looks pretty cool, don’t ya’ think?

Dry great pic pretty kitty

Peace and Love, Cleo! Tabby, my oldest daughter will change my station too. Once I start feeling a headache coming on, I make her change it back to my station. BTW, most of the new stuff is not even music, it’s all studio magic. Most of those singers couldn’t carry a tune in a bucket.

Carmy i wanted to just fall out of my chair when i heard the lyrics “i wake up in the morning bursh my teeth with a bottle of jack” i was like what the HE CK!

our Mandissa can!!!

Someone, I think Cleo but not sure, had a couple posts of the same thing like I had yesterday morning. What a mess mine was! Haven’t seen any “gremlins of the other sort” for a while! LOL!

I AM NOT MAKING BREAKFAST AGAIN!

Tabby, Mandissa definitely can! Dry, it was me that the gremlins attacked also.

I’m thinking it had something to do with the flip because that’s when it happened.

I think bmonk was saying our yappy record was 400 or 500 posts but we exceeded 800 once.

yea, you both had that problem at the same time

holy smoke!!!!!!!! are we a yappy bunch today or what?? finally caught up and now it’s almost turnover. Tabby i was sorry to hear about your two jolts of bad news. my heartfelt condolences. BC13 has shown me my error regarding Rio Lobo (can the master of all trivia live it down?), but now i’m stuck wondering which movie Caan did costar in. oh well.

Tabby, you didn’t make breakfast today!! SNERK!!!

Hi yyyguy! You should check imdb for James Caan movies.

JFri the 800 must have been either before my time, or a day i missed, but we got past page 11 the day i joined the Tribe last August (it was Carmy’s birthday party).

jfri not my fault no one drove snerk

thanks Carmy that’s a good idea (so i don’t drive myself nuts trying to remember - i don’t think it’s one of the ones i own, either, so i can’t just go look on the shelf).

Hi yyyguy I am up WAY too late, so I am going to cut my losses and catch some zzz’s whilst I can. Peace and love all!

yyyguy, I remember that! I used to be the designated driver, but someone booted me out of that job, sniff sniff.

Tabby, you didn’t designate a driver! Your fault!! :-)
