Big Top by Rob Harrell for March 15, 2010

A couple of more tumbles and he’ll get the hang of it in no time.

I’m not cooking breakfast.

HI, MARG!!!

Gee that’s a SURPRISE!

Hi Jfri, Carmy, Cleo,Tabby, Grog, MARG!

Poor Wink!

Good Morning Marg!

AND GRITS FOR OUR AKENTA! ENJOY GIRL!

g’night Tribe.

JFri well we should have PLENTY for breakfast then! Yours makes mine look meager! Thanks TURD! Covered me again! :-D

GOOD MORNING **JFRI, DRY, CARMY, and TERRY.

JFRI, breakfast looks delish! I’ll have oysters, rib eyes, and chocolate pudding!

Marg! Great AVATAR! Love it!

And cinnamon rolls, cold pizza, and Irish breakfast tea.

Are you hungry Marg? LOL!

First post does not count unless you make breakfast. Rule #10.

’Morning Dry!

Let’s see…a ribeye, scrambled eggs, toast with fresh churned butter and a mocha! Thanks JFri and Dry!

Goodnight my friends! You know who you are! :-D

Goodnight dear Dry!

Well, I need to hit the horizontal position. I’ll finish the toon merry-go-round in the morning.

Good Night Marg and all the Beautiful Tribe members!

P&L

I will have a cup of Pirate coffee on the way out. Thank you.

Now we begin to see what this is all really about!

Thanks, Dry, I thought it was fitting…. Goodnight JFRI and Carmy.

Goodnight Marg, sleep well!

Grog!!!!!!!

I wanted to see what your avatar would look like if it was dressed for St Patrick’s Day. Like it?

It’s really strange being you (sort of). If you want it you can take it back. I probably won’t keep it for long.

Good morning and happy monday. JFri and Dry thanks for the grits!!

Good Morning Tribe

I’m just trying to be nice………

Off to finish my toon merry-go-round. :^)

Good morning all. I’ll have a ribeye, medium rare, half a dozen oysters on the half shell, 3 eggs over easy, bacon, and I’ll bring my own Cokey Cola.

Good Morning MisngNOLA.

Good morning all! Terry, if they dye it green for St. Patrick’s day, why can’t they dye it blue the other 364 days of the year?

Good Morning Johnny. It sure is a “mucky” color the rest of the year, isn’t it?! Good suggestion. LOL

That is a line from “The Fugitive” that I always thought was funny. Now I have to step out for a while. bbl.

Have a great day, Johnny!

Good Morning, Tribe

Hello, Johnny, Lonewolf, MisngNOLA, Akenta, LuvH8, Dry & Everyone else. I’m off to a late start this morning.

LuvH8, I saw the change late last night, but I didn’t want to lose any of my “grogginess” by posting to anyone’s comments. However I gotta say I LOVE it.

Dry, I’ve been trying to think of something relevant from “Kelly’s Heroes” to counter with and I think I remember the end where Maitlin comes into the bank and sees ”Up Yours, Baby” on the wall.

That movie has a great cast, great theme by the Mike Curb Congregation and oodles of memorable lines: Oddball?! He’s A freak!” It’s a mother beautiful bridge The fuel system leaks all over the place! This things heavier than Kelsey’s burgers! Have a bottle of booze, Baby. You’re Beautiful! And of course, there are many more, but I haven’t got all morning.

Morning All!

Good Morning Grog & DFrog!

Morning Doctor Toon

Good Morning Doc. You sure are running a lot lately.

Good morning, Doc, Grog, Terry, DFrog, johnny, NOLA, Akenta, Dry, Carmy, Marg, LuvH8, and anyone else I missed.

Good Morning Yappy Nuts!

Morning, Carmy!

Good morning to you, Grog!

Carmy, I was going to save that greeting for Wednesday. Oh, well.

Grog, sorry, you go ahead and do what you planned.

Doc - I learned many years ago, to never admit I was bored, because that was a code word for my parents to find me work to do. I now do the same with my kids! But make sure you get enough rest, just in case they call you in on your night off.

Good Morning Rmom. How are you doing today? Busy?

Hi Terry! - Thanks for asking. Yes, my day will get quite busy. This is the calm before the storm. I need to get breakfast and get my son started on his schoolwork, then head off to Mom’s house again. At least M-W of this week, I can give myself the calm first. The sale starts on Thursday, so I’ll have to wait until evening to relax on those days. Two of my brothers went back to OK where they live, so now I’ll just have to deal with the other 2 siblings. There’s always room for conflict, but since there is enough to do, I think I can give my sister (a/k/a General) areas where she can be doing and/or directing work - particularly with my remaining brother. Not that I won’t have a fair amount of work to do after this week, but this should be the worst.

Good Morning All. Poor Wink.

and once again…

Where are the snow bunnies?

JFri, I will have a rib eye rare, eggs over medium and bacon. Thanks for doing breakfast.

And thank you as well Dry.

Morning, cleo

Hello Grog. Another Monday begins.

Morning, cleo!

Good Morning Cleo.

Rmom, your in for a well deserved relaxation period after all of this is completed.

Terry - Yep! I’m making plans to go spend a couple of days with my husband at his trailer. I’m sure it is overdue for my maid service, but other than that, it is a pretty relaxing time. Although, I wouldn’t be surprised if he finds some of his work to delegate to me, if I show up at his office. Oh, well. At least it would be a change in scenery, and tasks.

Good morning, tribe.

Do you get a big run of business at Easter, Doc? Seems like the food section would get busy, but don’t know about frozen.

Good Morning Terry & Rmom. What do you folks have on your agenda for today?

Terry - Are you feeling any better? I had hoped to be able to chat last evening, but my IBS interferred.

Anyone need a job?

Cleo, one of the appointments from yesterday rescheduled for today and I also need to set up a follow-up interview at the Federal Bldg. downtown. Straightening up my tool boxes needs to be done also, but…………………………we’ll see. LOL

Rmom, I’m up and down, but it seems like more “up” lately, so maybe things are getting better. I hope. I’ll chat more with you later on that topic.

Cleo - Getting ready for the estate sale, besides a little school work. (I’m giving him the week off from Algebra, so that I can spend more time at my mom’s house.) I borrowed tables from her church, however, they didn’t have as many as I would have liked. I’m trying to figure out what to do for additional tables. I might try to borrow some from my church, but I don’t have my brothers in town now, to do the heavy lifting. I think we’ll just be putting some boards on sawhorses, etc., and see if that will be sufficient. There is so much stuff, we won’t probably be able to get it all displayed at once. Well, my calm time is over - see y’all later!

Morning, Rmom & Saucy

Sign me up, Carmy!

Good Morning late arrivers!

JFri, really? LMBO!

Grog Here’s one for the road: (Carroll O’Connor) Major Colt: “GET ME MY UN E FORM!”

Good Morning JFri, Carmy, Cleo, Doc, Saucy, etc, etc.

Morning, Dry You’re the ones supposed to be fighting this war and you don’t even know where in the hell it is.

How many time have I told you, forget about your flank!

’Morning Dry! I’m multitasking at home and popping in here when I can.

Quiet. Can’t you see I’ve got the ball game on here?

LOL, Grog is on a roll!

“What’s the use of a communications officer who can’t communicate!”

“But you the American Army” “No we aint, baby, we’re just a private enterprise operation!”

“There you go with them negative waves again, Moriarty.”

Hi Hy!

“Try making a deal!” “What kind of a deal?” “You know, a deal deal. Maybe he’s a Republican, busniess is business!”

Hello Hymenoxis! How are you, sir?

Bloody awful, thanks. Had to cut down a half-dozen trees this weekend to make way for the pool excavation…my back’s a mess.

Fortunately it’s slow at work today…I may take the afternoon off.

and now Hymenoxis has joined the club! Woo hoo!!

*Go for it Hy!

Good Morning JFri, Dry & hymenoxis. Everybody sounds busy today.

Good Morning JFri, Dry & hymenoxis. Everybody sounds busy today.

Morning, Hymenoxis

Dry, for you to be able to spit those lines out from memory, I’d have to say you’ve seen that movie as many times as I have - if not more. I’ve seen it so many times, I’ve lost count.

But my hair’s still in curlers! They’re ALL for it, Joe But there’s no action!

“Kind of reminds you of home, doesn’t it, Cowboy?”

Cleo, you’re not busy on this Ides of March?

Morning, Dry, Carmy, cleo, Grog & Hymenoxis!

hymenoxis I laugh every time I hear that one!

Morning, JFri!

This place is built like Fort Knox!

Hy Cowboy was cute! :-)

Hi JFri!

Hi JFri! Dry, who portrayed Cowboy?

Good Morning, Dry, Grog, hymenoxis, ♠Lonewolf♠, DocT, cleo!

It’s time to change my avatar, I see–gotta keep up with the holidays around here…

He’s the same guy who played Bob at the country music place in the Blues Brothers movie. I forget his name and I’m too lazy to look it up.

Somehow, today’s Off the Mark just hit my funny bone!

Jeff Morris. He died a couple of years ago, but I don’t know from what. He was from Texas.

Hi Bunnyface(bmonk))–Funny link!

Morning, Bunnyface. Loved the link.

That is cute, Carmy!

Hi bunny!

It was hard finding a photo of Cowboy, but I finally found one. Hi Bunny!

Good Morning Carmy & bunny. Yes Carmy I will putting slug bait around our daffodils and fertilizing our blueberries.

Ah….home now. There’s a Bobcat skid-steer tearing up my front yard, and a huge back hoe in my back yard.

Cleo, sounds like fun! Can’t you just pour some salt on the slugs? Hymenoxis, I hope you have some ear plugs!

It’s not that bad, actually, and it looks like they’ll be done shortly. Tearing heck out of my silver maple’s surface roots, though…wonder if it’ll survive…

Carmy I want to kill the ones that come out at night. You know, the party slugs.

“Party slugs”…rofl…

When do they hope to have your pool installed and finished hymenoxis? Because the Tribe will all come down and party with you.

Cleo, serve the party slugs some Salty Dogs. Party at Hymenoxis’? When, what time?

Cleo….if all goes well, about three weeks. Then there’s the landscaping, and, apparently, installing a new front yard.

Carmy five minutes after installation. hymenoxis will love it because he can clean up his house for a change after our departure.

Big Project for you. Our party will help you let off some steam.

Yeesh. Just got off the phone with the propane people. Voice-mail tag, as usual. We live in an all-electric development, so we’ve got to lease a 250 gal. tank for the hot tub.

Details, details.

Take a deep breath Hy and count to 10!

Cleo, LOL! Slugs!

Love your avatar BTW!

Cleo, that might be the most appropriate avatar for you yet.

Hello Dry & johnnyd. I found this avatar by accident. I like it too.

cleo, “after our departure”?? What on earth would make you think we would leave? SNERK AND SNORT!!!

Well, I usually try to head home within four hours of my bedtime. (And since I am never early, guess which side of my bedtime I get home by. :-D)

See, that’s what I’m afraid of. There’s already several local kids salivating over the prospect of a neighborhood pool. The city closed the public pool for liability reasons; there was a cryptosporidium outbreak here in North Texas a few years ago. I’m gonna have to draw up a release form…

Oh, and if you don’t like Bacardi or Stoli, bring your own liquor.

Bacardi and Stoli are just fine with me.

bike ride. BBL

Definitely an anti-social type. WOOF! WOOF!. That’s my other dog immitation.

That one just popped into my head while I ws taking a walk.

“Tigers!? Nobody said nothing about no Tigers!”

…”…I’ve been working on the railroad…”…

To a New Yorker Like you, a Hero is some kind of sandwich!

Get that Jeep out of here!

When you’re color blind?

HEY LUVH8!!!

Love your temp avatar!

Well we’re all nuts, or else we wouldn’t be here.

Where’s Maitland? He’s salvaging a yacht. A yacht? A yacht!

Hello Grog!

I “borrowed” yours and colored it!

When do you stop at green and go at red?

When you’re eating a watermelon!

HAHA!

Off to a later start today, LuvH8?

————— Get a sun tan he says. Cripes!

Hy Did you sneak one in there?

Now I remember, Hy!!

Sneak? Perish the thought.

I have a very large, vaguely pool-shaped hole in my back yard. And they’ve found the ground-water level.

Three weeks appears to have been an optimistic projection.

Man he never knows where we are anyway! (I didn’t use that yet did I?)

Yes Grog, I was busy with something else, and have to leave again soon.

Well, I’m glad you popped in ,LuvH8, so that I could compliment you on it. ————————————

Dry I don’t think you did, and I don’t think I’ve used this:

We ain’t got no booze! We ain’t got no booze. WELL WE”RE GOING TO GET SOME BOOZE!

I like seeing our avatars next to each other, it’s very strange! But kind of neat.

I was thinking the same thing, LuvH8. Maybe some time this week we may actually be synchronized on the other comic pages and freak some people out.

Probably even better still on Holloween with a spooky version.

What about our flanks?

To H E L L with your flanks!

eehh! Did you lose my arial photographs?

I got a medal in the jeep here for you (driving away) Medal? 16 Million bucks shot!

I’ll give you $50 bucks if you carry the machine gun. (Don Rickles)

You got it on you?

Don’t you trust me? (Don Rickles)

No I don’t!

(after the bombimg) What happened, Joe? Well where the HELL were you? (whispers) I had to go!

Grog ~ Maybe if we start the comic round close enough I could do the bunny hop and follow you. Then we could really mess with people! Of course they might already be used to it. (Blows Raspberry!)

I just posted after you on Birdbrains. May be too late to get any reaction.

Hi Tribe!

Quick run through:

Bunnyface That LINK reminded me of cleokaya!

Hi Dry!

Grog you look a little green today. Or someone’s impersonating you!

I forget who’s here already. I’ll be back when I read more posts and see who’s here.

Oh- Hello, Hymenoxsis, JFri, cleo, Doc, Tabby Johnny, Akenta, Carmy and Marg and other friends.

That includes about everyone.

BBL

Good Afternoon Everyone.

Done with RL for a while. Car is finished and picked up.

Hello Lonewolf!!!!!!!

Grog I followed you and posted after you on some of the other strips also.

Lonewolf - you showed up just as I have to leave! (wipes tears from eyes)

Have a Good Afternoon / Evening Everyone!

Advice: Be Careful What You Say!

A couple of hunters were out in the woods when one of them fell to the ground clutching his chest. After struggling for a few seconds, he seemed to stop breathing.

The other guy quickly pulls out his cellphone and dials 911. He gasps to the operator, “My friend is dead! What should I do?”

In a soothing voice, the operator says, “Try to remain calm, sir. I can help you. First, we need to make sure he’s dead.”

Immediately the operator heard a shot.

The frantic hunter comes back on the line and says, “Okay, now what?”

Hi LuvH8–Have a good afternoon!

Hi Shika!

Hello all. I just stopped in to see what you guys are up to. Too much fun, it looks like. Well, I am out on my hands and knees weeding the blueberries. Poor me at least it is warm and sunny. Carry on. BBL

@LuvH8, the same hunter (the survivor) was out on another expedition with a new partner when they had another accident: he shot his new partner. Well, knowing better this time, he didn’t waste any time by calling 911, but just brought him into the emergency room himself.

“Is he gonna live, Doc?”

“Well, he might have had a chance–until you field dressed him…”

@cleo, I just invoked you over at Pibgorn. (Comment 141). Hope you don’t mind…

I just finished with a very long call. I’m heading home now. I’ll catch up with you then.

Catch you later, Grog

Good One at PG, Bunnyface(bmonk). LOL

Geeeez, ANOTHER MSU alert!!

bunny, I had to make a quick comment after yours at Pibgorn. I finished weeding the blueberries and fertilizing them and now I am going to go on a hike.

JFri are you still down in the land of sunshine and smog?

@cleo, I caught it…

cleo, sunshine…yes! SMOG….No!! I am away from that part! How goes the weeding?

Hello All–Needed to step out for a few. Back now for a little while.

It is such a beautiful day again. I just love it!

Hey bunny, cleo and JFri!

Again, Cleo, I just love your avatar! Naked boy, Mr. Mischeif, Devil May Care, suits you to a tee!

Grog is back on the funny pages. Hello bunnyface, cleo, Lonewolf, JFry & Dry

Hey Grog, I’m in and out as I am sending maintenance reminders to my customers that are enrolled in that program with me.

Grog–You hit the right spot, too! These are the funny pages. LOL

Hey! “The Dinette Set” appears to have been dropped mid-day. Anybody notice that?

JFri I have never liked weeding, but today was kind of nice, perfect temps and I am now having to take over more of the yard since LilG is working more.

Dry, yes this avatar suits my general attitude about life.

Hi, Dry & Grog! cleo, here is my Rx for you. One snifter containing a double shot of Bookers. What kind of work does LiG do if I may ask?

Grog, it’s not showing on Gocomics at all.

JFri thanks for the Bookers, it hits the spot as usual. LilG is a Nurse Delegator. She works with adult family homes as needed, going in to delegate tasks that need a nurse to do or to instruct the caregiver as to how to do a procedure. It pays well and is perfect for her with her disability. She does not need to walk great distances or be on her feet for long periods of time. It is a new field in this state and she got in on the ground floor, so to speak.

I know. That was rather sudden. No warning. I’ll miss marg finding “it” for us.

Me too, Grog. I just started reading that about a month ago and posting there just recently.

I see that it is still on other sites to at least see it daily if one wants to.

For anyone interested, the Dinette Set IS listed at comics.com

I’ve added it to my home page there.

Sounds like a good deal for her, cleo

The Dinette Set” is also on Yahoocomics or it was anyway.

Dinette Set was in my email for today, but when I clicked on add comment it took me to my home page. It would be nice if they would tell us why they dropped a strip. It wasn’t one of my favorites but I did get a kick out of it.

JFri, it is perfect for her and she really enjoys her work. Plus she is able to get all the work that she wants.

Have another Bookers!

Wow, Dinette Set was on my list of daily comics, now it isn’t even listed in the Alphabetical list. It is odd to drop a comic without explanation.

JFri, don’t mind if I do. When do you make your way home? You have been gone quite awhile.

Can I have a Bookers, too? Please?

Dry, the same thing happened to me. Like you say, it wasn’t one of my favorites, but sometimes the details added were amusing, possibly distracting people from the characters’ dialogue. Which may not have been such a bad thing.

Grog, Yeah, but the sad part is, there are people out there like that!

Dinette Set had characters that I am glad that I don’t have for friends. It made for an interesting and mildly amusing strip. Well, I guess my day of cartoon reading has been decreased slightly.

and on gocomics

Cleo, but it would be nice if they would give a heads up, esp to paying members.

Yep. That’s why I appreciated all the extra details. I think it helped me to avoid teeing off on our “zeros” on a daily basis.

Dry I put a variation of a Kelly’s Heroes line on “Rubes”

Grog, our zeroes?

Grog, our zeroes?

Grog when and where? Nothing from you on there that I saw, I just checked..

My spell check told me it was zeros. Yes zeros, meaning not our heroes.

Grog never mind, I found it at Rubes. LOL!

Actually it accepts both spellings. hmmm.

Didn’t Carrol O’Conner say that line?

It was Oddball. They had to change meeting times because the boys had “somethings special planned for tonight” “Crap” Game says “What could be more special than 16 Million bucks “You stick around, “Crap” Game and you’ll find out. Kelly says, “Alright then tonight’s out. Same time tomorrow night. If you’re late…” “If we’re late, it’s because we’re dead.”

I can’t believe “Crap” got bleeeped.

cleo, one more day in paradise :-(

Dry, sorry! Here ya go!

*JFRI, HOPE YOU ARE TIVO’ING! FIRST 11 MINS. OF 24, ACTION, ACTION, ACTION! * I sure hope this isn’t the last year! MAN, I LOVE THIS SHOW!!!

Oh, thanks for the Bookers! It will go down nicely during OUR show!

Grog, yes, now I remember!

Commercial over! BBL!

Dry, Did you know that Donald Sutherland was a big Montreal Expos fan? We sometimes saw him at the game on television and one evening I got my company tickets to the game (which I often did). On that one day, Sutherland was there, in our section, when we were there. My buddy actually says “Hi Oddball. Woof, Woof” to him.

Dry, you KNOW i will Tivo it!! Enjoy the Bookers!

Grog, cool story. Best I can do is I saw Bruce Wilis at a USC football game.

Hi Tribe!

Listen, about the first poster has to serve breakfast rule. I am unable to comply.

I do not know how to serve such a wonderful large group of people. I never wanted to be the first poster today, but went ahead and made my post so that I could go to bed.

I am not a breakfast person. I don’t eat my first meal until lunch time.

Marg! Rule ten does not apply to me. My comment does count unless Gocomics says otherwise.

The only rule that I know to follow here, is the one that Doc told me. which is no discussion of religion and politics. Which I do follow because I have a great deal of respect for him.

JFri, while on business in New York in the late 70’s, I went to a sports bar down there. I was in a 3-way conversation with Bob Berry who was then coach of the L.A. Kings and a coach from the NBA who I can’t recall. Berry would later go on to coach the Canadiens.

It was quite common to go to Montreal sports bars and see stars of the Canadiens before and after games. Larry Robisnon, Gob Gainey and Guy Carbonneau quickly come to mind. You could even see some of the Expo players there on occasion, Particularly Andre Dawson.

Hi Grog.

Hi LW18 How are you this evening?

Wonderful! thank you for asking. And how are you?

Grog What did Donald Sutherland say to your friend, if anything? And yes, I did know that about the Montreal Expos!

Grog what a co inky dinky! The show I’m watching stars his son, Kiefer! Love that guy! Great actor!

For a Monday, as well as can be expected. Like the song says, “I wish it were Sunday, because that’s my fun day”

JFRI, good thing your are Tivoing! This episode is GREAT!

BBL! Commercial over!

BTW LW no one disses on Marg!

I’m watching High Noon right now. Getting veeery interesting,

Grog, Guy Carbonneau is the father-in-law of Brendan Morrow who played his major junior hockey career with the Portland WInterhawks, a fan favorite! Wouldn’t want to be making HIM mad as his son-in-law!

Dry, he laughed and said hi back to him.

I wasn’t dissing on her, Dry. I just have standards that I follow now.

LW, yes we all have standards that we follow.

Grog I wouldn’t have expected anything less from Donald! :-)

When I was outside doing my yard work I noticed a lot of bugs, something that I haven’t, up until today seen. They were annoying, flying around and around my head. Now, they seem to be here. How annoying. I wish I could swat them.

Dry your avatar is so cute. Even though it is a panda, it makes me think of Wink.

This daylight savings thing will take some getting used to. I lost track of time because the sun was still out. That was weird. I am glad I wasn’t actually late for anything.

CLEO, I HEAR YA’ BUDDY!

HI JOHNNY!

Dry and everyone I didn’t come back to insult anybody or to make you all angry at me again. I came back because I feel that I am ready to be a part of the Tribe. I believe that I can be mature enough to hang out here with you all.

JFRI, “24” WAS OUTSTANDING TONIGHT! ABSOLUTELY OUTSTANDING!!!

CLEO Thanks, I like my cuddly Panda bear! With his back showing, get it? LOL!

Hello, Johnny.

johnnyd it is taking me longer to get used to Daylight savings as well. It never has in the past, but I have had a tough time getting up the past couple of days.

cleo, I have that problem any old time of the year.

I offer this virtual double layer chocolate fudge cake to those of you who are hungry and like sweets.

:-)

The sleep schedule hasn’t been too bad. It was just new seeing the sun out so late. Kinda nice.

I like being able to get home while the sun is still shining.

Grog It’s funny, one of my favorite movies is ”Stand By Me”, and now one of my favorite shows is “24”, both with Kiefer Sutherland!

Woops. I wish I’d seen that post before I grabbed myself a Bud and Jalapeno Fritos.

Johnny Kinda nice? By now, as long as some of us have been together, you should know by now,

I LOVE SUMMER! Born in and live in the wrong state! LOL!

Grog I have found, for me anyway, the Jalapeno flavored stuff, is a rip-off! LOL!

Which state is that, Dry?

It’s a change-up from the original flavor. None left in stores, but I do have a stash I built up.

:-)

I love Spring when everything seems to come alive. The world to me then shows it’s true beauty after that long winter sleep.

Dry, try living in Michigan. Not as cold as ND or Minnesota, but cloudier, and more lake effect snow. (And still pretty d@mn cold.)

Dry you have a question from Alan with an “A” over @ Overboard.

Hi Dry, Grog, Johnny and Cleo!!

Dry and Grog, I bought the DVD for Kelly’s Heroes, on the flip side it has The Dirty Dozen!

Hey, Carmy!!!

Hey Grog!!!

Carmy You lucky dog you! Both great flicks!

Grog Got it!

Oops! I wanted that bigger, but you know what I mean. :-)

Hello Carmy. how’s it shaking.?

Dry, I know!!

Carmy thank you for the cookies the other day. They were very delicious.

Another good one, Carmy I have it on a separate DVD. And I can’t say I have the lines memorized like I do Kelly’s Heroes. Did you see our lines from the movie throughout the day. It’s almost as though we had the script in front of us. *Hy* even added a few gems.

Grog, yes, I did see that! You all had me LMBO!

Cleo, I went down for the count after my girls came home from school. I did get up in time for dinner which was spaghetti.

Number 2, sir.

Spring Break is just within my grasp. If only I can just grab it.

They gotta breathe, don’t they?

Absolutely Grog.

LW18, It’s already spring break down here. It makes for more pleasant drives into work. Unfortunately, it’s not quite the same going home. I think everyone’s heading to Galveston.

I have no kids and no spring break, but I am thinking of having LilG do a dance number for me. I’m sure she won’t mind shaking her booty.

Grog, my Papa Daddy was born in Galveston. He was there when they had the BIG hurricane in early 1900’s.

My Spring Break starts next week. I’m looking forward to it.

Carmy, I think I have seen both of those, I know I have seen The Dirty Dozen, but it was a long time ago. Is Kelly’s heroes the one with Donald Sutherland, where they find the gold? If it is, then I have seen that one too, but it also was a long time ago.

LW18, that is a shame, I had my spring break two weeks ago.

Johnny, you are correct. You haven’t seen Dry, Grog and Hymenoxis yapping about Kelly’s Heroes? They’ve been hilarious!

Did you have fun while it lasted johnnydoc5.

My spring break goes from one LilG assignment to the next.

Cleo you got me LOL.

Johnny, at least LW18 still has it to look forward to. Eastwood, Sutherland and a great supporting cast do go behind German lines for a Bank heist of 16 million bucks in gold bars. See today’s comments tor a summary of some of the best lines.

Cleo, when you’re done with LilG, I have some things for you too! ROFLMAO!

LuvH8, just in case you’ve popped in after I’m gone, did you do your HAPPY DANCE to “The Surfin’ Bird?”. After all “The Bird is the word.”

Carmy, I was busy this past weekend, so I missed all the chatting. I would like to see both of them again, but I can’t sit still through a whole movie very often. For my spring break, I had my wisdom teeth out on Monday and worked Wednesday Thursday Friday Saturday and Sunday for a total of 48 hours. I’ve had more relaxing breaks, but I still enjoyed this one.

*Dry *, I have a word for you… Don’t ask.

yes Johnny Kelley’s Heroes has Donald Sutherland, Clint Eastwood, Don Rickles, Carrol O’Conner, Telly Savalas, and many more great actors. and yes, the gold! The GOLD!! The GOLD BARS! What a COOL movie! Seen it a bizillion times and love it more each time!

Dry dream on sweetheart.

I only remember Sutherland because he drove the tank, I was 7 or so when I saw it. I see the quotes were today, I will have to watch that, maybe this weekend….

(((((Johnny))))) sorry about your wisdom teeth! I am glad you still managed to have a nice Break.

Grog, One MORE FOR THE ROAD!:

Oddball: “We got our own ammunition. It’s filled with paint. When we fire it, it makes pretty pictures. It scares the h e l l out of people!

“We got a loudspeaker … ”

I have it on DVD, but it’s hard to miss on TV, too. I often see it showing on AMC.

Donald Sutherland was good in the movie, Ordinary People.

…and we play music really loud. We find that it relaxes us

I talked to Carmy but I forgot to say

HI CARMY!!!!

You like loud music! Maybe I should crank up some Heavy Metal music for you all.

You know I’ll soon be finished with the H’s in my collection. Then comes I (not much there), J ( a few there) and then K. Woo-hoooooooo!

LW18 They* played “Workin on the Railroad”

I see!

Hola Dry!

Though he had a small part, Sutherland was funny in “Animal House” - sort of Oddballish.

I like Kiefer Sutherland also.

Heavy Metal is a headache, loud heavy metal is a big headache. Carmy, it wasn’t that bad after Wednesday, and I was back on solid food (sort of) by Thursday. I think it would have gone better if I hadn’t been allergic to the pain killers they gave me. I did not help myself by pulling out two of the stitches on my own either.

Well I love Heavy Metal but if it disturbs anyone. I will put in my headphones. I do respect everyone here.

Big ouch, Johnny! Are you all okay now? When I was expecting daughter #2, a root canal that I had done months earlier became infected. Since I was preggers they really couldn’t give me anything, except some to fight the infection. My left cheek was so swollen. Once the swelling went down the dentist (he wasn’t the same one that did the botched root canal) gave me the option on whether to redo the root canal or pull it. I said, pull it!

LW18, I will admid to owning some Shanaya Twain, but that’s about as C&W as I get. I also have that song from “Smokey & the Bandit”, “East bound & Down” Love that song. I prefer rock & Blues. I do like AC-DC, Zep, Queen, Aerosmith from the heavier bands. But I like various music from the ‘50’s on up.

Good Evening Everyone

I have been setting up Wolfangil’s laptop for her. Putting different programs, applications & games on it and such. Fun fun.

Geez Grog, is that alphabet for your movies? Ouch Carmy! I hate having anything done to my teeth, and they always seem more sensitive than the rest of me. I was actually fine with the wisdom teeth, until I had to work, that was unpleasant, but I am fine now.

LW18, I doubt I’d be able to hear your music even if we were in the same room, I like my music loud too.

Johnny, yeah, my teeth are very sensitive too.

Grog, I’ll listen to just about any kind of music, but Heavy metal and pop are my number one and two.

Yes, Johnny. 413 and counting, most of which are classics made before 1960.

Hello, Lonewolf Good to see you.

Grog, my collection is like a fraction of what your is!

I also loved the Eastbound and Down song from Jerry Reed from The Smokey and The Bandit Movie.

I don’t have any movies. Grog, do you have any Hitchcock? That is some good stuff.

♠Lonewolf♠ A pleasant good evening to you.

Carmy, I’m a serious collector, so don’t feel bad. (And I’m sure you don’t).

As for music, I have two rules, and they are related: 1) I don’t like almost anything that has come out during my lifetime. (The list of exceptions is growing though.) And as a result, 2) My favorite bands have at least one founding member who has died. Morbid yes, but it works for me.

Hi Grog & LW18

Hi Terry!

Time for me to head to bed, I got class early tomorrow. Peace and love all!

Hi Johnny. Good Night Johnny.

Have a good day at school tomorrow.

Good night johnnyd5.

Yes, I do, Johnny. I have a good number of them. I think I ranked my top 6 on the weekend, but they would include Notorious, Rebecca, Saboteur, North By Northwest, Suspicion & Rear Window if I remember correctly.

Good Night Johnny Sorry I didn’t get your question answered before you went.

Goodnight Johnny!

Grog have you seen Alfred Hitchcock’s Vertigo.

Grog, Rear Window is a good one! Well, actually they all are.

My turn to pull a Shika. Grog, I try to head up to my friends place every so often, as he has all of the Hitchcock movies. I liked Dial M for Murder, and he has recommended a lot of the ones on your list, but he does have a crush on Grace Kelly, so I will likely see Rear Window next. Now I am off to bed for real. Peace friends!

LW18, I have that one, too. I have a number of them that I haven’t even mentioned. I am planning on getting the original Man who knew too Much, which starred Peter Lorre. Of course, the later version with Stewart & Day was color and had more star power. But after seeing the original, I preferred the unpolished B&W version. It also wasn’t as long-winded as the re-make.

Can’t beat the great classics.

Shika should really consider patenting her “Shika Move.”

OOPS, forgot to add, hee hee hee to that!

Carmy, I hope not. I’ve pulled it a couple of times, myself. But I often hit the refresh button after I’ve posted and find that I missed a post before mine I must respond to.

It’s not a act that is unique to Shika. I’m sure we all have done it. Come on, admit it to yourself…and then admit it to us.

I can’t believe the St. Patrick’s Day collection doesn’t include any “Red & Rover”. I’ve got 4 strips in my own collection from that one.

Shika is an original.

Grog, of course I’ve come back and added something after the fact. It’s like a Columbo thing. I meant that since some of say we’re making a “Shika Move”, that she should cash in on that. You do know that I’m only joking, right?

Of course, I do Carmy However, I’m sure Shika didn’t invent the move. People have been pulling Shika’s since long before Peter Faulk was born! :^))

Add

SNORT!!!

and no one does it better than Columbo!

Boy, was he ANNOYING! I much preferred Banacek.
