Citizen Dog by Mark O'Hare for July 08, 2012

Steve, I’ve got a couple of Jobs for you….

Good Morning, cleo, sugar, Fellow Baby & the rest of the CD gang!

Good morning, everybody!

Good Morning Grog, Dry, Cleo, StelBel, noicantspell & all CDers out there.

the clapper caper

Fellow Baby, LOL! Good one!

Good Sunday afternooon Fellow Baby, cleo and sugie!*

Extra o in noon, oh well!

Good afternoon IMudd, nighthawks, Stel and mightaswell.

And yes, I had trouble this am as well but it gave me a chance to catch up at Creators Syndicate.

Nice pictures last night, noicant. Very nice! Nice ones today too, except for Sgt. Joe Friday, :-D!

Well, we’re getting some of that down here, south of Houston.

nighthawks, it’s funny how puns, like food and drugs can affect people in different ways.

@IMudd

Good afternoon! Another warm, but nice summer day in N.E.!

@ nighthawks

“by the by, is anybody having trouble accessing gocomics’ site this morning?”++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++I was having problems accessing GoComics as well! At least up to 11am (ET), then I gave up til now. That did not put me in a very “funny” mood, believe you me!

@ nighthawks

What a pair…Carson & Webb!!! That was hilarious! I was trying to think up a comment with additional words beginning with “c”, but I think they used them all up!

Now…how did you get the speech bubble on the picture of Webb and do all the text???? THAT is what I really want to know!

@ mightaswellbe

Hope you have a fun visit with the grandson! Enjoy!

@ Dry

Hey, it’s 2 days in a row and minimal typing! But, it does feel weird. How’d you like today’s rooster?

Stel VERY VERY NICE!

also the IT manager! I wonder if that is the one who will be working on this virus that is supposed to shut down several thousand computers at Midnite? Been reading up on that, and like most things the media is hyping it to death. I’m not worried at all, I have Norton, not Ed Norton, Norton Internet Security.

In the Summertime

Except a whole computer crash I would guess! LOL!

Colorful flip flops! I can’t wear the ones with the thingy between the toes though. They bother me too much.

Dry you and StelBel also have great pictures.Didn’t want to leave you two out :-)

Good afternoon, CDers.After laundry, church, mop, vacuum, lunch and clean up I had no problems getting on GoComics. I guess there’s something to be said for being late to the party.

The site is still “messed up”to a degree.

sugie I LOVED your Snoopy!

Hi JP Steve!

Steve Jobs, Fellow Baby. Nevertheless, I couldn’t resist the line.

@ GROG!

If I had come up with that line, I couldn’t have resisted either! LOL

Hey there CD kids. Yet another hot day here..StelBel thanks for the link, it was great. I just love that song and I had totally forgotten about the mutton chops they used to wear.

Stel ol’ Bel, that just took a lot of looking through google until I found a picture of Joe Friday mentioning YOUR name.what, you don’t believe me?you REALLY don’t believe me?

Fellow Baby, look up, LOL! I got your comment, even told you it was funny. I just didn’t pick up on comicnuts post. I didn’t make the connection about Steve being out of work, because when you are a FREAKIN’ millonaire, who cares? :-D

No Stel not yet, I need new earbuds for my laptop. Hubby doesn’t like to hear my computer when he is trying to watch TV.

nighthawks

Jack Benny was great!

Just read, Ernest Borgnine passed away. He was 95. Grew up on McHale’s Navy, my parents LOVED that show

RIP Mr. Borgnine

speaking of Jack Benny, click this if you want to laughJack Benny and Mel Blanc

I don’t have a strong recollection of seeing many comedies in their first run, Fellow Baby. My parents were more into dramas & westernsUntil we got a second TV in the house, we watched what my parents watched or nothing at all.

To this day, I am not particularly fond of TV westerns like Bonanza. I’m also not into medical shows, so Marcus Welby was also out. The only comedies I recall seeing in the 60’s were Laugh In & Petticoat Junction.

I’ve only recently seen McHale’s Navy and not the whole series run. I loved Borgnine in Ice Station Zebra & The Poseidon Adventure.

Fellow Baby you missed some good shows then, but luckily, for the most part, I liked my parents choices, of course, I could do without Lawrence Welk! LOL!

Yes, he was a good actor, made many good movies!

As for westerns, I still like Wagon Train, with Ward Bond only, not so much when he passed away and John Ireland took over. I also enjoy Cheyenne, and Rawhide still. Of course, I won’t go out of my way to see them, but I will watch them if I’m sitting here and hubby has them on.

Stel, WOW, TALK ABOUT A BLAST FROM THE PAST! I had forgotten all about Mongo Jerry, yep that is still a good summer song! Can you BELIEVE we ever dressed like that, or that guys wore their and beards and hair that way? LOL!

nighthawks, SI!

Fellow Baby I should clarify that Lawrence Welk remark. He seemed like a very nice man, but most of the music, esp. the Polka, REALLY DID NOT APPEAL TO ME!

Fellow Baby, sugie you might be interested in this too. He was a lifelong communicant. That Fellow Baby means he attended Mass every day and took communion everyday. That takes a DEEP DEEP COMMITMENT. I admire him for that, my Great Aunt Catherine, mail-order bride from Italy, also did that. Mr. Welk’s bio is VERY interesting and admirable. But I still don’t like Polka music! LOL!

Fellow Baby, I may have missed some good shows, but at least I got to see most of the ones I wanted to see in reruns. One other comedy my parents liked, that I did not, was The Andy Griffith Show_. my parents also liked *_Lawrence Welk* They had albums by him as well. I like listening to music from the 40’s & 50’s, but not Lawrence Welk.

I love the big band sound.

A TV western that I do like now that my father always talked about, was The Rifleman. That show was never on in my youth that I know of, but it’s usually on AMC on Saturday mornings now.

@Dry

I never did like mutton chops in any era!! But, I love that song…memories of summer in the early 70’s!

I always liked Ernest Borgnine. Another great one is gone…

Good night, everybody.

I’m surprised to find that I only have 4 of his movies in my collection. There does seem as though there was a time when you couldn’t turn on the TV without seeing him.

He was great on an episode of Home Improvement.

Good night, StelBel.

I knew I missed her when I saw the time! Good night Stel o’ Bel!

:Yea, Fellow Baby the Rifleman was another good one. So was Maverick, but these days, I don’t care for them so much anymore. In fact, as I said, I don’t watch that much tv anymore. Never miss my “Days of Our Lives” though, but since I watched it, or kept up on it faithfully from Day One back in 1965 watching it with my mom, keeping up on it one way or another and then we found VCR’s and such, that’s a LONG time, and I will continue to watch as long as it airs. And that is one set of DVD’s I will buy in a heartbeat when it finally ends, which I hope is NEVER! Yeah, some would say I’m shallow, but you invest that many years, what can I say? It would be like saying goodbye to an old friend you know? LOL!

MY GAWD! CAN YOU IMAGINE HOW MANY DVD’S THAT WOULD BE, AND HOW MUCH IT WOULD COST? Maybe I’ll just buy from the 1980’s on! LOL

noicant you are scarce today, I hope all is well!

The cost would be absolutely staggering, Fellow Baby considering it ran daily. What I have in The Avengers* cost me a fortune already, and I don’t have the complete set yet. Then there’s The Beverly Hillbillies, Newhart & other TV Show seasons that I have yet to collect once finally released, if ever released. If they do plan on releasing them, then they’re taking their sweat f’n time of it.

Were there repeats on soaps?

Fellow Baby yes I suppose it would be staggering! But we are talking about a Soap Opera here, so maybe not. But then, since Soap Operas are disappearing in droves for FREAKING TALK SHOWS, like we don’t have enough ALREADY, it may cost a nice chunk of change as a collectors item. Maybe I should start saving all of the current ones now so I at least have a start! You know, I swear, just like politicians, these people who do programming etc, have NO CLUE what the public wants. Sorry for the rant! :-D

And you wonder why I don’t watch much TV. They can talk all they want, but I don’t have to listen.

night

Yes I am, but not for too much longer.

(((((((((((((((((((((noicant)))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))

It’s good to see you back, Shika. If I recall correctly, you had a family emergency to tend to that kept you away from us. But of course my mind is like a seive, so that may or may not be accurate.

Fellow Baby said, Citizen GROG! said, 42 minutes ago

Were there repeats on soaps?

No there wasn’t though I think some channel called Soap Net is playing some of the cancelled soaps. I may or may not be back, so if I’m not, I’ll say goodnight. I feel bad for noicant, don’t know what happened, but been there and done that.

From, noicant’s last picture I’d say it was a tale from the dark side today.

I suppose it’s time for me to call it a night as well. I’ll be around tomorrow night, but I can’t say the same for Tuesday or Wednesday. I have to go to bed early Tuesday night for an early start to a day trip to Dallas. I’m not sure when I’ll be back on Wednesday, but I figure it’ll be after 8. I’ll likely be too tired & grumpy for toons.

Fellow Baby That is what I thought! I hope not too dark!

It’s TOUGH when the rolls are reversed and you become the parent, and they become the child! If you had a good parent, your world turns upside down!

noicant. I’m sorry you have had a rough day.

Good Night *Citizens of Dogs and Bill Gates’s minions everywhere.

And I will quietly slip out the back door.
