Wink, Where did the piddle come from? My poor huggly wuggly bear!

Speaking of huggly wuggly BARES, Cleo, I’ll have some of everything except anything with hazelnuts. Thank you Sir!

Cleo, I’ll have the pancakes with maple syrup and Doc’s coffee. Mucho thanks, kind sir!

Dry & Terry orders are on their way. Dry the only nut that has come within two feet of your order is you.

I’ll have the chocolate pudding, and raise a toast to:

HI JFRI!

What?!?!

Dry are you sure you want to know? I think Wink is pretty frightened. Cleo I’d love some eggs cooked in red pepper rings with apple, chardonnay sausage and of course some of Doct’s coffee. Thanks.

Good Morning, LuvH8 & Fellow Baby!

Good morning Cleo, Dawn, Terry, Grog, and Dry!

I’ll have the eggs cooked in red pepper rings, too. We haven’t made that in a long time!

Good Morning LuvH8. How are you doing, dear?

Hello Dawn & comicaddict.

I am ready for another Barbancourt.

I’m doing great this morning, comicaddict Is all going well with you?

Well, your mind was somewhere Grog! Maybe you should be inside, instead of hanging out at the gutter. More privacy that way.

Good Night Dawn.

Indecision?

Well it’s been awhile since I’ve been here. It’s good to see you all again. Anyways, how are you all doing?

Good Night Grog, LuvH8 & everyone

P&L

Good Night Grog, Lonewolf & Everyone!

Lot’s of Luv & Protect your Teddy Bear!

Good morning and good night (((((((Everyone)))))))))))))

CLEO I had every intention of joining your lovely repast till you said you dated a Playboy bunny.. Now you might think my refusing breakfast is for hygiene and health reasons, but let me assure you it’s pure jealousy. One of DOCs coffees, please.

What’s green, four miles long, and has an IQ of 87? St. Patrick’s day Parade. I’m off to watch people get stupid in the street.

Morning TRIBE! At the parade its OK to pretend you’re Irish. At Christmas I pretend I’m good.

Top of the Morning, Everyone

Good Morning, Lewreader & Doctor Toon

Just a quick Hi! and Bye again. I’ve got to go work at my mom’s house today - all of my siblings are there, and if I’m not, either they won’t work, or they won’t do what I need them to do. It is rough being the baby of the family AND the trustee/executor - my siblings think they should be able to boss me around, but I’ve got all the authority. However, I’ve made checklists for them, printed them on 3x5 cards, and handed them out, so they at least realize I have a plan already - I don’t need theirs. Just another couple weeks, and I’ll be able to get back to my normal schedule - I hope.

good morning all. you know, if I hadn’t lived in New Orleans for much of my life, I’d wonder why commenters on here are having breakfast at 1 or 2 am, but I totally get it.

Good Morning Rmom & MisngNOLA

Good Morning All. I am in search of Nuclear Coffee.

Good morning Tribe

I’m at my ‘puter in my room, shifting and moving stuff as I prepare to build the second shelf. Gathering stuff for a Goodwill run as well.

Looks like the History Channel is having an Ice Road Trucker’s marathon, starting which what appears to be the first one, a Modern Marvels episode titled ‘Ice Road Truckers’. Should provide good background as I work.

All I have to do now is get the 75# shelf in the apartment.

I’ll pop in here and there, now and then.

Good Morning Tribe!

Hello Doc, Quaby, Cleo, Grog, MisngNOLA, Serena, Lewreader & All!

Good Morning, cleo, Loneowlf & Quaby

I’m off to the store now. I got to get the rest of my fixins’ for my Irish lamb stew and corned beef & cabbage. Also some whipped cream for Irish coffee. It may not be nuclear - but you’ll start or end your day with a buz.

I am going to watch the Ice Raod Trucker’s marathon until I go to pool. I am also taping it.

Right now, I NEED COFFEE!!! BRB

Alright, at least I can see a little bit better now!

Good Morning Rmom

Good luck today. Catch you later.

Lonewol do you follow Ax Men? I got hooked on it during a marathon a couple of months ago.

Lonewol do you follow Ax Men? I got hooked on it during a marathon a couple of months ago.

Well, I guess the nuclear coffee didn’t help, my post of a half hour ago didn’t post. Guess I should have just stayed in bed.

Yes, Quaby, I watch Ax Men, too. And Deadliest Catch.

Hi Cleo. Sometimes it takes a little bit for the coffee to kick in! LOL

Hello, it looks like an Eeyore Day outside.

Hi LuvH8

Have a good day, Doc. See you later.

Sure I show up and Doc leaves. Hi & Bye Doc T

Good Morning Lonewolf, how are you today?

Heh, heh! Too early to tell, LuvH8. I’m sure it will be a good one. Although we have rain all day today, the temps will be in the 50s.

That sounds like our weather today also. I don’t want to wake up.

ANy nuclear coffee left? My hubby forgot to buy more last night, and i am sure dragging. Tea is not a good substitute today!

There is always more, Celecca. How are you today?

I am sluggish but well. Lonewolf. How about you?

Hangin’ in there, dear lady!

I’m off for more toon touring on different sites. catch you later.

I’m back.

Hello, celecca & LuvH8!

Did you catch up some on your sleep, Grog?

Yes, I did, Lonewolf. I went to bed at 9:30 GDST and woke up around 1AM (GDST). I then went back to bed at 3AM and woke up at 9AM. That’s the most sleep I’ve had in quite some time.

Hey Fellow Baby! Good morning!

Good for you, Grog. I, too actually had a decent night’s rest for a change.

Hello Grog, All prepared for St Patrick’s Day?

Top of the mornin’ to you, Fellow Baby.

It’s sparkling morning down in South-East Texas today. Even though I’ve got some major cooking to do today, I’ve got to find some time to spend outdoors.

And good for you, too, Lonewolf. It’s nice to feel refreshed rather than sluggish for a change, isn’t it?

Grog I forgot to get my corned beef. Do you add red beets and carrots to yours as well?

It is VERY refreshing, sir!

Yes, I am, Luv H8. Here’s the menu for today.

Anytime today: Bud Labatt Blue MGD Irish Coffee

Ready late afternoon Irish Lamb Stew

Dinner Corned Beef & Cabbage.

Grog does this continue each day until the 17th?

Dry, I will add some carrots and some onion as well. But I didn’t get any red beets. You know I like pickled red beets as an appetizer. Too bad I didn’t get any of those either.

Dry I think this should continue though the 17th. If there’s anything left over, it may continue until all gone.

Grog yes I love pickled red beets. Sounds like you cook the way do! When it’s all done and on my plate, I put a BIG dolap of horseradish on the side!

Labatte Blue? MGD?

Lonewolf - You slept? (Happy Dance!)

Horse radish is good too, Dry, but I think i prefer freshly made hot mustard for the corned beef.

Grog LaBatt is a very good choice to go with that! I hope your Irish Coffee has some Baileys or Carolann’s mixed in.

LuvH8, the Blue is a little taste of home that I picked up today, but I threw in the MGD for those who want something really smooth & light going down.

Thank you LuvH8

I’ve got Coronas on the list today, Grog. But I’ll start with a Bloody Mary.

Consider it added to the menu, Lonewolf. I like Bloody Caesars, but I didn’t think it would go well with the Irish Coffee.

Dry, I do have Bailey’s in stock, but I’ll stick with the Jameson’s for my own drink.

So alcoholic beverages, I suppose I will have to settle for the tea. Of course I am not Irish, so I don’t wear green and thump anyone who tries to pinch me ( :

LuvH8, I am Irish/German, but I don’t think I really needed that as an excuse. LOL

LuvH8, didn’t you know that everyone’s Irish on St. Patricks Day?

Grog never had Jameson’s so I’ll try it. And why not mix the mustard and horseradish, I have done that. Quite tasty!

I am in the middle of downloading some music. Guns & Roses at the present time…………..

But Grog! I like to thump people!!!!!

Actually, I learned that you are supposed to wear green where no one can see it. Then when they pinch you, you can punch them!

Good Morning Tribe!

Tabby, let me introduce you to Wink.

“Well, piddle!”

“Poo on you!”

Thank you.

LuvH8, I guess you won’t get many people saying kiss me I’m Irish to you.

Here, you go, Dry. I’ve never tried mixing the two. Sounds interesting, and I will try it.

Good afternoon, Shika

Well, I guess I will have to make my Irish Creamer Non-alcoholic, and pretend to be drunk. And corned beef is yucky! I might make some stew though.

I like the Appetite for Destruction album by Guns N Roses.

Hi Shika!

Hi Grog!

Hi Dry!

Hi Dry, Shika and Grog!

Hello, Carmy

Hi Shika!

Hi Shika!

Well, if I want to eat I had better pull a Venus Flytrap and start peeling potatoes……..and carrots……and onions, etc.

BBL but I’ll check in periodically.

Hi LuvH8

Wink! Tree!!

(Covers eyes.)

Kisses! Eeeuuw! Blechy! Phooey! ~~ Gross!

Hi Lonewolf

Hi Carmy!!

Thanks for breakfast/brunch cleo Superb, as always.

And now, off to tour the toons, then work, work, work.

(Read, read, read, I mean)

If I wear green, will people refrain from the Hugs & Kisses?

Dry

are you still here?

Have a good day, Shika.

I am off to get ready and then head out to pool league. Have fun EVERYONE!

I’ll toast one to both of us, Grog.

P&L

I almost forgot. Here’s a tune that’ll give the rest of you something to look forward to on this awesome day in Houston.

http://www.last.fm/music/Chicago/_/Saturday+in+the+Park

Carmy Just left for a minute to take care of something here.

I can make toast!

Bye Now! Have Fun!

Dry, I haven’t even read any of my comics today. :(

Carmy

I have read a couple but still have a lot to go yet.

grog good tune but no Saturday in the Park for me unless I want to get soaked!

Hi Doc!

Dry, I’ll be on and off here while I catch up on my favs. We were supposed to get soaked too, but it didn’t happen.

Doc T!!!!!!

I was just protecting myself from pinches and kisses. Then I saw you were back! How are you this morning(or afternoon)?

Good Morning, Shika, Dry, Grog, ♠Lonewolf♠, LuvH8, DocT and Carmy!

I think it’s fitting that, if Wink needs to piddle, at least he’s in the woods…

Grog, if you need pickled beets, we have (literally) gallons of them available–they’re a staple for Potlucks and Funeral luncheons around here. And really strong, fresh-ground horseradish too.

I can’t tell what the weather will be like here, where I live right now because it is overcast. Give or take about another hour then I’ll know.

Hi bmonk!

Pickled beets sound good. I’ve never had freshly ground horse radish before. I do like plain horseradish better than cream-style.

Now I have a hankering for roast beef. Do you have that too bmonk?

Hi doc Well, you tell us you showered….

And I’m off again.

BBL

I think that it will be a nice day her because I just opened up some windows and it is not cold..

Good Morning? Afternoon? Evening?

Hello Doc T, Bunnyface, LW18 & Shika!

Grog if you have pickles, you could beat them!

@LW18, “overcast”? It’s foggy (again? Still!) here once more–the sun did come out yesterday, and a bit more this morning, but the warmer weather only makes more melting and vaporization of the ice and snow, which makes more humidity, which makes more fog or clouds…

We are well over 50 days of fog (58?) in the 72 days of 2010 so far….

Hi Again Shika!

Carmy You still around?

@Shika, sorry, not sure when the roast biff will be coming. The fresh-ground horseradish can get pretty strong–especially if you find some nice, old roots.

commic and Cleo where’d you guys get too? We are in need of the ship!

Yes, the Pope does have to be Catholic–it’s one of the requirements for getting elected.

Good morning everybody.

Doc T ~ Okay, I won’t smack if you don’t pinch, kiss or hug! I think the teeth should protect me from most people ( :

Hi bunny

Bunnyface ~

Two young country lads were bored one summer day and decided it would be fun to push over the outhouse. They snuck up like a couple of spies, pushed it over, then ran laughing into the woods.

When they returned home later, their father called them over. “Did you two push over the outhouse this afternoon?” he demanded.

The older boy nodded. “I learned in school that I cannot tell a lie. Yes, father, we did push over the outhouse.”

Their father whipped them and sent them to bed without supper. In the morning, he asked them, “Have you two learned your lesson?”

“Yes, father,” the older boy said, looking confused. “But in school we learned that George Washington admitted to his father that he had chopped down a cherry tree and he was forgiven because he told the truth!”

Their father nodded. “That’s true. But George’s father wasn’t IN the cherry tree when he chopped it down!”

Well finished my toon tour. Lots of good ones out there. I especially loved Broom Hilda today!

bunnyface (bmonk) I get fog here mostly in the early morning hours. I wonder if that has anything to do with the sea level.

Take care Doctor Toon, and get lots of rest.

Hello everyone. It’s afternoon here have yet to eat. Spring is coming glad where done with snow. Missed out on Saint Patty’s parade downtown. I’m not Irish but I will be wearing a green top. Got word in local paper that KS will do furlough after all in state courthouse on Friday’s up to May will start in April. I’ve had sinus infection be glad when fully cleared did go to Dr. gave Zpack was wondering if would work still wondering. Have a great afternoon everyone. :)

Good Night Doc T, Good Bye Everyone!

Hello, bunnyface. I have plenty of horseradish (not the creamed stuff). I actually like a pinch in my Bloody Caesars as well as my roast beef. I wish I’d have talked to **Dry before I went shopping, though, so that I could pickled beets on my list.

LuvH8, I’ll pass on that. —————————————— I liked The Flying McCoys, Blondie, 2C&C, One Big Happy, Cul de Sac and Dog Eat Doug.

Well back to my chopping.

Dry, I was having lunch. You still around?

Hi and Bye Doc and Shika, Hi Bunny and kab2rb!

Grog I like horseradish. Especially on sandwiches.

Hi Grog! See you soon?

Pssssssssssssstttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttt!

KABOOM!

One of those has to work!

Fire in the hole!

Carmy Let’s hope so!

Grog I love to chop also! When I am chopping, people best beware!

Carmy looks like one worked anyway! We need more like that!

Dry, do you chop with a machete? If you don’t, you should. Heads will roll, I tell ya!

Dry, not too worry, I’m on it! I’ve got an arsenal here.

When the need arises, Carmy, yes, I use a machete! Got one right here for the big vegetables!

Hi Carmy and Dry.

Grog Are you in Houston? I used to live in Houston, down near NASA.

Hi Quaby!

Hi Quaby

Dry, my girls are watching Pandas on a National Geographic DVD.

“Kelly’s Heroes” is on but too many commercials.

I have a few more Pandas stored up. I will send you that sometime today. I think it’s still here.

Carmy I just sent it.

Thanks Dry!

Hello everyone. I’m on my way out…I have to get some floor protectors for under the shelf unit I need to build. Wal-Mart. Saturday Afternoon. Not a good combo.

Be careful out there, Quaby!

Dry, I saw a DVD of Kelly’s Heroes in the bargain bin for 5 bucks.

I have Kelley’s Heroes on DVD, too. Right now I’m watching Hell is for Heroes on tape while I’m doing my prep work. Bob Newhart is a riot.

Quaby, I live in League City, not far from NASA.

BBS

See you all later.

Hi again.

Boy, I leave for a few hours and look what happens. But I forgot that this is the weekend so I guess that’s normal.

Is anyone still here? You don’t all have to leave just because I come.

Carmy that’s one I haven’t found in the bargain bin. Got a bunch of John Candy’s and Stand by Me, The Perfect Storm, and a couple of others for 5-10 bucks.

Grog I have seen Hell is for Heroes, many times, but do you think I can remember it at the moment? No!

I didn’t remember Hell is for Heroes. I had to look it up. I don’t think I’ve seen it.

Hi Serena

I’m folding clothes at the moment.

My stew should be ready in about 1/2 hour- 45 minutes. The CB&C should be ready about 6:30 GCDST

Dry an Irish coffee is not an Irish coffee if it has Baileys in it. Some bars will add it, but it is not a true Irish coffee. So there. LOL

Well said, cleo

I’m having my first Irish Coffee right now.

Saturday is going to fast. Missed the parade here. Time change tonight. We do ours early not at 2am. It’s a little after 3pm SCT.

Grog I lived in Clear Lake City, Pasadena and Webster. My family is there as well. Most of the males are in law enforcement or emergency dispatching. If you have an emergency it might be my brother’s cool, calm voice directing the actions, etc, etc.

Oh, and I went by Family Dollar on the way to Wal-Mart, and sure enough they had a package of floor protectors. Whoo-Hoo!!! I’d still be trying to find a parking space!

I will join you Grog an Irish coffee hits the spot.

Quaby, I work in Pasadena, but I wouldn’t want to live there. I’m not at all far away from Webster, either.

It certainly does, cleo, especially after not having one for a year.

CLEO where were you when Carmy and I needed you? Hmm?

And it may not be true Irish Coffee, but it tastes good, so THERE! LOL!

So what is in TRUE Irish Coffee to make it IRISH?

Grog 2 big meals within a couple of hours of each other? And I thought I ate a lot, LOL!

Hey, I just had my second lunch! How about that?

Dry, I’m having the stew more as an appetizer today and to make sure that the seasonings are correct. When it sits overnight, it’ll be even better and be fantastic for lunch -not to mention great and quick for week-night dinners.

Per the good book, an Irish coffee is:

Into a stemmed glass or cup rimmed with sugar, pour 1 1/2 oz. Irish Whiskey. Fill to within 1/2 in. of top with strong hot black coffee. Cover surface to brim with chilled whipped cream.

Good afternoon, tribe.

First ski lesson, Wink. STAY SEATED WHILE ON THE LIFT!!!

Grog I’ll have 2 please!

Good advice Saucy!

2 lunches Carmy? Good girl!

Hi Saucy

Wink, Wink, Wink of the ski lift, watch out for that tree!

Coming up, Dry.

Hello, Saucy.

I just finished my stew. It tastes good as is. No correction of seasonings needed.

Here you go, Dry

Thanks Dry, since my appetite has pretty much been nonexistent, it’s good when I actually get hungry.

Grog, if you’ll be passing out some stew, I would like some please.

Boy you are hungry, Carmy. Here you go. Careful it’s hot.

The CB&C is on deck and will be ready in a little more than an hour.

You know I think I have to rate the Lio as the best strip today with that “big bag of dead flies”.

Thanks Grog! Yummy, yummy for my tummy.

Woooohoooooo! 70 & sunny here today. NO FOG as per one who CLAIMS to live in these parts!

cleo, just to let you know, I am NOT at my home area!

For those fans of Shoe out there, I found this rather amusing, although I hope this ban never comes to pass. (Read the article under the strip).

http://www.shoecomics.com/

HEY JFRI!

Grog I’ll bring the horseradish and hot mustard!

Grog I rather liked Broom Hilda about the FLEAS and TERMITES!

JFri, you must be in the Houston area today.

I liked it, too, Dry. There were a few good ones out there, including Cul de Sac, but I thought Lio was the best. And that article on the Shoe web page put a :^))) on my face.

What article? I don’t always read all the comments, so I must have missed something.

Dry, check out the link a gave above to the Shoe site. Scroll down to the article below the strip.

Woo-Hoo, the CB&C is ready!

YEA!

Corned beef and cabbage, much like beans! BUT WHO CARES!! LOL!

:^))))

Grog is that a snicker and LOL!?

Yup!

Here’s a good one I’ve never seen before

http://ignatz.brinkster.net/cimages/cbillprocess02.jpg

Grog, I’m in SoCal for a few days. Can I get in line for some CB&C, too?

Dry, yeah…..who cares??

Well if we have enough gas amongst us, we can keep the FLEAS and TERMITES at bay. Trolls too!

Sure, JFri. Here you go. I’ve got some hot mustard on the side for you and Dry has some horseradish & hot mustard mix.

I’m taking a short break to watch Are You Being Served.

Grog, I’ll wait patiently for some CB&C and I’ll just have it as is. Thank you!

Anything to keep the trolls down works for me!

Thanks, Grog! Here, Carrmy, he gave me a BUNCH! I’ll share.

Glad your appetite is improving, Carmy. Here you go, straight up.

JFri & Dry, I guess we should all eat more CB&C and beans. :^)

BBL

Thanks for sharing, JFri! I’ll do what I can to help keep the trolls down too.

Grog You certainly have good taste in food, and British Comedies!

Leftover corned beef and onions with hot mustard and hroseradish in a sandwich, good eating!

Thanks Grog! Let me catch up with all I got and then I may want more. :-)

Hey, Grog, anything we can do to help!

The corn beef hash sounds delicious.

Ppffft!

Oops, not loud enough!

pffft!

Anybody need more cabbage?

None for me, thank you!

I do!

Fire in the hole!

I do like corn beef hash. May I please have some.

SNORT!!!

This reminds me of Blazing Saddles. ”I’d say you’ve had enough!” LOL.

The show I just watched guest-starred Joanna Lumley of New Avengers fame.

Be back in 20

Carmy care to try some mild mustard if you don’t like the hot?

Thanks Dry,but I just don’t care for mustard at all.

KABOOM

I’ll just help my self to some, but thank you anyways.

Grog, do you make Irish Soda Bread too?

PFFFT!

JFri when I heard you mention the temp yesterday I figured that you must be elsewhere. LOL

MMM! Yummy! That really hit the spot..

Hi Grog, hi cleo.

Hi Jfri.

Hi Cleo and JFri!

Hi LW18, sorry I missed your order, but I was in a hurry to get back to my show. Glad you just helped yourself.

Carmy, no I don’t. I haven’t tried doing breads. I figure cleo’s the expert there. I’ll defer to him.

Cleo, have you ever made Irish Soda Bread?

I’m in the mood for The Quiet Man. I wish I had it on DVD so that I could watch while I type, but White Heat is on TCM right now.

TOP OF THE WORLD MA!

It was delicious Grog.

Ah, I good Irish movie, The Quiet Man. White Heat is good too!

Great classic movies Grog.

Grog, I like Angels with Dirty Faces.

Carmy, Barry Fitzgerald is a hoot. I also loved him on Going My Way.

Me too, Grog!

Sorry Guys, JFri, Carmy and Grog Got a phone call from an old friend!

Grog, Be aware my friend!

Grog, I have a DVD with “Going My Way” and “Holiday Inn.”

Carmy my wife occasionally makes Irish soda bread. I haven’t. It is pretty easy though. It is perfect with Grog’s dinner.

I just got the BBQ lit to do some salmon.

Angels With Dirty Faces is probably one of my favorite Cagney movies. But then there was also The Roaring 20’s AND The Bride came C.O.D.

Carmy I love both of those movies. I have Holiday Inn too.

Cleo, yeah, that’s what I was thinking.

Hey, cleo! Yeah, I FINALLY get better weather than you! Monday & Tuesday it’s supposed to be 80! Neeners! LOL

I have not yet seen those classic movies. They sound good though.

Great James Cagney movies! What about Yankee Doodle Dandy? Cleo, wasn’t Fred Astaire great in that?

Carmy, I have the same DVD. But I also have DVD’s of all my favorite Classic Christmas movies. A Christmas Carol (1953), The Bells Of St. Mary’s, Christmas In Connecticut, Meet John Doe, Miracle On 34th Street, The Santa Claus and White Christmas.

Hi Cleo

Grog, what about the Bishop’s Wife? Hi and Bye Doc

Carmy, I loved Yankee Doodle Dandy, too, but it’s not in my collection yet. It will be.

JFri 80’s? 80’s? TURD!! :-P

Hi & Bye, Dr. Toon

The Christmas classics That you have listed Grog are ones that I have seen. You have good taste.

Of course everyone here has good taste.

James Cagney was so cool!

I do have The Bishop’s Wife, Carmy

My friend that called, he got a new computer and lost my email address. We have been friends since K, went thru Catholic school and HS together. First time I met him, I remember to this day that I had to walk over top of him because he was laying on the floor crying. Every now and then we laugh about that! Only ever see him at Mass once in awhile, sometimes other places, but always on Christmas Eve. A lot to the stuff I send you guys comes from him.

Carmy, Fred Astaire was the best white dancer ever in my mind. Two that very well may be the best ever are the Nicholas Brothers.

Grog, I do too, but it’s on video. I have several Cary Grant movies, Bachelor and the Bobby Soxer, Arsenic and Old Lace, Monkey Business and I may be forgetting some.

Cool Dry.

Gene Kelly was good, but not as good.

Soon, it’ll be time to watch The Easter Parade

Cleo, I agree with you about Fred, but I don’t know who the Nicholas Brothers are. Dry, that is so sweet that you’ve been friends so long. I’m still friends with my bestie from when I was 5 years old, but we don’t get to chat so often anymore.

Yes, the friends I’ve had the longest, even if we aren’t together in person on a regualr basis, are my friends from Catholic school for the most part. When we get together, it’s like it’s still the same! It’s a nice feeling, and I know their moms too, because my mom was friends with a lot of those mothers. 3 of them are still living, and in pretty good shape for their ages.

Dry I hope you are not in the area where they are worried about flooding?

Cleo, I remember those guys! I just didn’t know their names. Ouch, the splits on the stairs! Fantastic dancers!!!

JFri how long are you going to be down in that sunshine? With the prices there you might as well stock up on Booker’s.

LW18, just keep an eye on the TCM schedule. They’re bound to be shown some time soon. They’re like classic movie staples.

Carmy, Arsenic And Old Lace was my favorite Cary Grant movies and ranks as one of my all time favorites. What a great supporting cast, too. Bachelor and the Bobbysoxer was excellent, too. I love Myrna Loye. I think I’m also taking a liking to Jean Arthur.

Dry, like I said, that is so sweet!

Will do Grog. Thank you.

Grog, what about the Thin Man movies? Go Asta, you da dog!

We just watched Jean Arthur in Easy Living last week. A great movie.

Cleo yes, but i’m up away from that. Around me though, well, we’ll see. Most of the state is in a flood warning, and some states around us as well.

Here you go Carmy

Carmy, I have all those on VHS, but I’m looking to upgrade. That’s where I got my exposure to Myrna Loye and William Powell. I loved Asta. Wouldn’t it be great if there were a comic strip about Asta;s adventures with the Thin Man?

Carmy oh yes, The Thin Man movies, those two played so well together! And Asta, yeah, He’s da dog! Its funny though, some times he (she) was little, sometimes a bit bigger. I wonder how many dogs actually played Asta?

Cleo, I haven’t seen that one. I’ll have to keep an eye out for it.

Cleo I live near a big creek, which I’m sure will flood if it hasn’t already, but I live on a hill.

Dry, who knows? Asta often stole the show!

Grog, that would be a good idea for an Asta comic strip!

cleo, I just put The More The Merrier on my wish list after seeing the movie this week. It’s hard to believe that Arthur was 43 at the time of the making of that movie. What a body!!!

Dinner time.

What’s cookin’, Cleo.

“Hee, hee!”

Carmy, I have Walk, Don’t Run which is the same premise as The More the Merrier but I’d have to say the latter was better. Charles Coburn has Cary Grant’s Role in the innitial version.

Dry, did you check out that Shoe link to The Treetop Tattler?

Grog, Walk Don’t Run, is that the one with Jim Hutton?

Yes, Carmy. Also Samantha Eggar.

We’re now getting close to the end, where Jimmy Cagney get’s blowed up real good!.

Grog, Samantha Eggar? Did you see that horrible movie she made, The Brood?

No, I didn’t, Carmy. I guess I didn’t miss anything. Have you seen The More The Merrier?

Grog, I don’t think I have, it doesn’t sound familiar.

I do have Doctors In Distress with Samantha Eggar.

Grog, I just checked it on imbd. I’ll have to see if I can get it from Netflix.

I didn’t realize it, but I have 17 Cary Grant movies.

I haven’t see Doctors in Distress either. Did you see a movie with Bogart and The East End kids? I don’t remember the name of it.

I have a few with the Dead End kids. Angels With Dirty Faces, Crime School, & Dead End. There are more but not many have been released on VHS or DVD.

I think the one you were referring to was Crime School

Dry, I’ll make it easier for you and me http://www.shoecomics.com/

Grog, it was Dead End that I was thinking of. Are the Dead End kids in Crime School too?

Hey Carmy are you ok ofr food. I’ve got plenty of CB&C left and stew. I made enough for an army.

Yes, Carmy. There’s another available on my wish list called Little Tough Guy. I’ll be purchasing it this week.

Grog, I’m good for now, thank you. I just had about 4 slices of pizza.

Irish Coffee?

Pizza!

pizza, pizza, pizza, pizza, pizza.

Dinner and dishes are done and I am awaiting my lady fair for the second half of Ride With The Devil.

Speaking of Devils, I’d like to get The Devil’s Brigade

cleokaya Sounds like you have a wonderful evening planned.

LW18, Is your wlecomed presence due to spring break?

She is ready. Good night all.

Not at all Grog! After being absent from here for awhile It gave me time to reflect and grow up some. I didn’t like how I was before.

And my number change, was because I had a birthday recently.

Good Night, cleo

Grog, Irish coffee sounds good, just hold the booze please. I don’t drink the stuff.

Goodnight Cleo!

Have fun cleo.

I thought so. Happy belated Bday, LW18!
