So you did. What would you like to order?

Alain

Look at that, GoComics switched the order of posts again…

Ah, there he is…  

(Pushes door open with ten foot pole.)

Crash! Clang! Pling! Claaank!

Umm…. Hi Little Sister & Johanan, this is some interesting redecorating. How did you set up breakfast without upsetting the molasses Johanan?

I will be your chef until Alain Harper relieves me, which should be soon.

 

You announced us Little Sister?

By the way can you walk yet?

And it has switched the order yet AGAIN… I’m going to start putting in time stamps if this keeps up.

Hi, Ooops! I used the portal on Alain’s ship to get in, and Alain just used his Locus’ Ring to teleport through the walls. If you’re going to set traps for anyone of his time and space it had better be in the middle of the room, and even then they likely won’t surprise him.

Oh, incidentally, my co-author and I are very close to releasing our manuscript in some format, if I understand her correctly… Alain features very heavily in it. Stay tuned! :))

See I called it Perfectly. I did say send in the clowns yesterday.

May I please have some Hash Browns with some of that delicious Cocoa mocha.

I’m kind of stuck in this corner.

What was I thinking?

Oh yeah I just didn’t want to be alone.

Well since I seem to have a minor sinus illness (overdramatic and even false sympathy welcome), I think I will be good. May I please have some blueberry juice, cranberry juice, water and sugar (shhh! that part is secret)?

Good morning, Johanan, ♥Little Sister♥ & Ooops!

Johanan, can I have scrambled eggs, hash browns & sausage links, please. Nothing to drink. I’ve got my PEPSI.

Thank you. :-)

12:32 AM 4/27/2011

Good morning, all! Johanan Rakkav is soon to leave the building, but I’ll be glad to fill your orders meanwhile.  

Oh! My Head! Make Stop!

I have to start at the top because the only comment that seems to stay in place is the menu!

Good Evening Grog!

So how do we clean up and get Little Sister unstuck?

10:39PM

I fell for my own trap. What a klutz I am.

Maybe hose down the area?

Good Evening, Tribe!

Wow……..Johanan………..just reading your menu makes me ditsy!!! So much to eat………….so little time!!!!

Good Evening Montana Lady

So we either turn the hose on her or set the ants free. Any other ideas?

12:50 AM 4/27/2011

::: sparkles fill the room, cleaning up messes and people :::

As you’ll learn in the upcoming novel Realmwalkers, that’s one thing the Locus’ Ring can let me do: things like that when I really need to. The “need” seems whimsical to most people, but to me the Need of the Hour is perfectly clear.

Now… please try to behave today, won’t you? I won’t always be around to help out like that.  

Good evening, ♠Lonewolf♠….or rather good morning,

Hmmm…… I believe that there are ants that eat molasses….

Molassessessessess!!!

I admit it. I am guilty. Here I am at the scene of the crime with no one to pin it on.

By the way Big Brother, how was the pool game?

Oh! Well it is officially up to the reader to mentally assign some sort of sense to the comments and the order.

Depends which time zone, Grog.

Hi, LuvH8.

No!

Oh! Now that just totally messed up the order of chaos.

Lonewolf!!!

How did you do? Do you feel bettr? Don’t step in…… ummm… gee, I hope you weren’t planning on leaving soon?

12:55 AM 4/27/2011

The molasses is gone. I can put you in worse things, though, if you don’t settle down. There’s enough Borg Bond(TM) in my Sentry’s Otherspace Closet to keep you rooted where you stand for a long time.

Good morning, Grog and Johanan and Ooops and lil Sister and Lonewolf and Everyone who is to come!

Good Morning, Montana Lady.

Good Morning, Montana Lady, LuvH8 & Grog!

Thank you Alain Harper!

 Little Sister, have you any ideas for tonight?

We had our Homeowner’s Association Meeting tonight to discuss the yearly plan on road maintenance…….dirt roads on our mountain. It is so nice to see everyone…..some we see all the time, and others, just once a year.

I tried to tell them that that purple stuff had something to do with this grape jelly shooter from this gal in Oregon, but they couldn’t understand it all……….go figure……

They’re still very good people!!!

Good Night Little Sister, I am sure someone will dream up something.

After what I went through tonight, I just want to go to bed and sleep.

Good night :-)

Good night, ♥Little Sister♥

It is okay Montana Lady, a Grape Jelly Shooter with the ability to shoot people several states away is a little hard for some people to swallow (even with toast and tea).

If you need still longer range, Ooops, talk to me after business hours. We Special Forces have a few hyper-technological tricks up our sleeves.

Alain

——————————–

(Meanwhile, Johanan Rakkav is headed to bed. Good night, one and all…)

Good Morning, Lil’ Sister & Johanan

I won at pool and the team won! Great night. Love it!!

Time to head back to bed. I think I’m finally tired again.

Gunite, Tribeandall

Longer range? Think of the possibilities!!! Hmm….

Happy Dreams Everyone!

Hey, I paid good money for my seat atBIG TOP. Don’t I get a scorecard or something? I haven’t the foggiest what’s going on.

JOHANAN I do appreciate that you got here early enough to start the reactor. I need a cup of DOC TOON’S WORLD FAMOUS NUCLEAR COFFEE to fight the battle of the vet lady’s scolding, “He’s too fat!” (You could lose a few yourself, Lady) Better throw in some cotton candy for a much needed sugar rush.

I’M WHISTLING! WHERE’S MY JAVA?

Swoooosh! Splosh!

Ummm…. it seems your Java has arrived. Don’t you love the irony sometimes at the doctor’s office? ;P

Pop 0604 CDT Ooops! You poor baby. (Is fawning optional?) I hope you feel better really really soon…..In the mean time you should rest, relax, take it easy, take lots of drugs, and plenty of fluids.

Tooncomment: Leev it to a clown to be literal.

goodmorningtribeandall!

and

Grog!

toon tour Pooph

Good morning, Lewreader & Plods!

Morning All!

Good Morning, Tribe

Good morning, Digital Frog & Lonewolf

I have to ask something. Why do you people come out here every morning and post an entire fictional menu in the message board?

Hi, Grog. How’s your day starting off?

≡≡ P O P ! ≡≡ ♪ Good Morning TRIBE! ♪

Hello to all those here!

Hello Time Traveler - Tradition.

Congrats on pool ♠Lonewolf♠!

I’ll have a grilled cheese sandwich and DWFNC please, thank you Johanan.

@TimeTraveler: Because we can. :)

Seriously, I don’t know who started the idea (the Usual Suspects will no doubt clue you in eventually, once we Round Them Up), but I like it and I help out when I get here first (which ain’t often, let me tell ya).

Now sit down and have some breakfast already. Alain Harper (who is as fictional as the menu, thank you very much - see below) will be taking your order shortly while I’m cooking.

Hey… who are you and when and why did you replace Alain? I know for certain you didn’t do it by force; even Goku and Superman put together couldn’t do that.  

(ahem) Say hello to a friend of Alain’s, Eli Lamdan (אלי למדו). Alain got called away to a mission. It figures.

In Real Life I’m doing something I rarely do: making soup from scratch. My last batch was pretty good (turkey, veggies, kosher organic chicken broth, red pepper sauce) and so I’m trying another improvised recipe along those lines this morning.

Hi, Sojo, Johanan & Time Traveler

Good Morning Johanan!

You took the words out of my mouth Sir Lew when you said that for a clown Stucco was being too literal. You beat me to saying that.

Good Morning ♠Lonewolf♠!

As many comments this morning as we’ve had all day recently.

Good morning, TimeTraveler, Kab, Sojo & Johanan.

Busy start & busy finish, Lonewolf. Quite a change from a couple of weeks ago.

Good morning Everybody!

COFFEE!!!

This sleeping late every day makes getting started harder and harder!

Good Morning, Montana Lady.

Pop Is it still morning? Just caught up from yesterday, Terry. You’ll have to study harder next time. You’ll ace those tests yet.

GRATS on the Pool League. Seems like good year so far.

Back to the grinder…. Midwesterners don’t forget to hypothetically dive under your desks for the earthquake drill at 10:15 CDT this morning!

Poof

Good Morning Grog and Montana Lady!

Oh……..I’m not complaining………………

I LOVE RETIREMENT!!!!! Woo Hoo!

At least the day will go by faster, Grog.

Thanks for the congrats, guys!

Montana Lady - Looks like a nice day in Yellowstone. Had a lot of snow falling a couple of days ago that prevented watching anything.

Thank you Plods, I feel the luv. Though I did just have a duh moment when I realized how much my throat hurts and my achy muscles and it could all just be a rare serious side effect to taking my medication again. See…. Drugs Are Bad!

Good Morning…………………………………………………

PLODS!

Well that is just great, I never thought of myself as a Westerner. Do I have to learn to line dance and cry in my rootbeer?

Hi, LuvH8.

Good Morning Ooops!

The Real Life Soup is pretty good! :)

Hi Lonewolf

Good to hear Johanan!

Good Morning Sojo

Johanan, ummm Eli Lamden is scary. Perhaps if he quits yelling?

POP I luv my drugs… my drugs luv me. they keep me from pain induced insanity. BURMA SHAVE

bwahahahahahaha!!! Poof!

皆さん、おはようございます

Er, sorry. Good morning, everyone! I’ll have a pot of Jasmine Green Tea, please, then an omelet: three eggs with ham and Swiss cheese folded into it, and grated Piavé cheese on top just as it finishes cooking. I’ll add a very small portion of hash browns, and I’ll have a small serving of Nova Scotia lox too.

Then I’ll dare to ask Little Sister why she painted herself into a corner with molasses. I hope you’ve cleaned up the mess, washed the floor, AND swept the horizon with your telescope, Young Lady!

Good Morning Plods and Saskfan!

Last POP I was misinformed…. Don’t virtually dive under your hypothetical desks for the imagined earthquake until TOMORROW at 10:15 CDT.

This is a drill this is a drill this is a drill

play nice - stay safe - clean your messes ((((TRIBE)))) Poof

Good Morning, Saskfan.

Have a good day, Plods.

 I always play nice.

Good morning, everybodies!

Including, but never limited to: Saskfan, Sojo, Plods, ♠Lonewolf♠, & Ooops?!

Even in a pinch, I’d be too afraid to call on Stucco.

Hello bmonk!

Hi, Bmonk!

Hello Bmonk (tries for more realistic innocent look)

Lots of luck with that Ooops!

I dunno, innocents looks from Oooops! tend to get my suspicions aroused all the more.

Ummm…… who me? It was Sojo’s idea to use the blue jello. I never would have thought of it……. but there is definitely more bounce.

Greetings TRIBE

Blue is nice, Oooops but if you really want it to show up from outer space, you need to try the real psychedelic neon lime green.

Perhaps the psychedelic neon lime green surrounding the blue core. If it is going to show up from outer space, it will have to be bigger.

Hello serena!

You might try an intense, yet somehow soothing shade of fluorescent orange… :P

Well, Serenasakitty did suggest psychedelic neon lime green. It would be even more psychedelic swirled with soothing fluorescent orange, wouldn’t it? Do you think you can manage to swirl the two together for us Johanan?

I am afraid if I tried we would have a rather mundane shade of babypoop yellow.

I’m trying to remember how the Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, Mark II was described–something like “oddly mobile”, but I don’t think that was it…

Edit: was it “oddly sinister”?

Good evening, Tribe.

James had off from school today, so we have been doing things together. :^)

No! No! No! You will not tempt me to read that again right now. I have plenty of things I should be doing. Once I start I will just have to read the whole series.

Hello Lonewolf, So did you guys have a great time cleaning gutters? And fixing things?

Sounds like you had a good day ♠Lonewolf♠!

Hi, LuvH8 & Sojo. Yes, we had a very good day!

Timetravler asked the same question I wonder from the beginning but never asked. Then I figured it out. I always thought wow someone fixing all that food how do you keep from getting fat.

Hi, ♥Kab♥

Is it okay to say hello. I’m not from Alabama but they are having tornado weather.

Today is Adminstration Assistant day and all three I’m not an Admin Assist only a lolly Office Specialist. Someone gave us fudge cake brownie no nuts durn with whiped topping. I ate a couple of bites, bad me, and started to feel effects of too dark chocolate. And boss gave me white cupcake I could have. White no problem. Tomorrow boss is treating the 3 of us to Phelipes(sp) for lunch. I have never received a free lunch and a surprise to. Hoo boy.

How are you ♠Lonewolf♠? I’m still waiting on instructor for rough draft essay hope not bad news.

Oh gocomics not the only one changed my lap top has changed to. Dropped a spell check I liked. Son helped me get another spell check.

I like spell check programs but not autocorrect. Those things are sooo frustrating. I have no idea how the get pestle from peepee? I don’t even know what pestle is.

Good Evening Kab Sister

Hello ♥Kab♥!

Good Evening, Tribe

The Habs are actually on TV tonight. Just finished watching T2 so now I’ll watch the rest of the game. It’s game 7 with Boston.

Hello Big Sister I agree I already have spell check but I don’t like it. My son had me load iespell.com then download. Now I right click how great.

I like Firefox’s spell check.

Our son’s car got broke into again. No broken window glass happened after Saturday. Must have used a pop lock. Thief cut wires to a DVD radio. He forgot to bring in face plate. Oh this time car is parked in our drive at the garage door. My car is behind. Not happy about my car not in garage.

I’m hanging in there ♥Kab♥. How about you?

I’m off Thursday afternoon no pay. So after free lunch I leave.

Good Evening Grog!

Doing okay. I’ve been off of muscle pills. Since insurance change gone a different route for routen meds.

Our son’s car got broke into again. No broken window glass happened after Saturday. Must have used a pop lock. Thief cut wires to a DVD radio. He forgot to bring in face plate.

Hey! My Penguins are playing!!!

Hi Grog

Kab Sister, it should be nice going out to lunch tomorrow. It is too bad about your son’s car.

Hi, Sojo & Ooops!

Hi, Grog.

I’m watching the game too.

Big Sister our mom actually witnessed a theft but dark and didn’t know it. Hour later sister hubby came in excited his trailer was stolen off property. We found out later there have been a lot of thefts of construction trailers. His was not construction but a business trailer hauling food item. Found in a different county 30 miles away. Thef’s tried to destroy and ganged it…

I am so looking toward lunch.

That sounds rather unpleasant, to say the least. Then victums of crime also have to go through all the hassle and pain of dealing with the results.

What if they take pictures ;P ?

Hello everyone:-)

Hello ♥Little Sister♥!

Hello ♥Little Sister♥

So are you gentlemen behaving yourselves?

Hi, Li’l Sister

I think I’m holding my breath until OT ends.

Game over.

I’m going to bed now.

Gunite, Tribeandall

Good Night, Grog. Same as the Blackhawks. :^(

Good Night Grog.

I got away from BT. Big Sister I believe the law took pictures and have a case #. My b-i-l took pictures. Both him and sister mother’s day weekend have to go out of town for sampler’s fest. Three hour trip.

I was disappointed as well about the Blackhawks. Who won in overtime tonight?

That’s good to know. Sister Kab.

Good night all continue to enjoy your game.

Good Night ♥Kab♥

Time for my zzzzzz’s.
