I think I have to install it in the yurt… there always seems to be room in the yurt.Those’ll be some foot baths!

Bev! Are you here?

Mmmm… snickerdoodles!You must be close by….

Regarding my first post above….oops.

Does everyone have their "FREE DRY’ signs ready? We march at Dawn.

i is not responsible fer the sheriff when he has too much apple pie. im innocent. he turns into a aminal. the only cure fer him when he gets out of control is to stuff his face with raisins. it will calm him down. I am lookin to open up a garage near the tiki bar. I think I will call it “dewie, cheetum, and howe mechanic service” home of the “yall come-back” guarantee. if I cant fix it with a hammer it must be electrical. I can fix anything. I am a very responsible wrinch bender, jest ask anyone ….when somthin goes wrong…im responsible

I will have one of them hotdogs stuffed with jalapenos and wraped with bacon plez, and a pineapple filled with tanduay.

Bev!

Did I miss you?

Monkeywrench…. which way did she go?

I keep getting distracted…. sorry…. trying to resuscitate one computer and learn another….and forgetting what I’m doing…. and trying to use the mouse for the wrong one….which doesn’t work very well….

Scooter … there’s 23 Milkbones in it for you if you find the car keys I lost last week…

No, they’re not keys to Elvis…. He starts without a key…. but only if he knows you’re allowed to drive him.

You could even have a yak bone, if you’re allowed. I’ll have to ask.

Fenton…. I hate to ask…. but could you speak “Dog” with Scooter and describe my keys?Please?

How Dry we aren’t…

@Sherif (I wuz ’dopted) MunkyBluzI’M BACK ! Cannons at the ready for the FREE DRY MARCH.Sorry, I’ve been kind of incommunicado but my crew and I have been busy aboard the Irish Rover smug…er… importing some very fine wines and spirits for the good folks at the Tiki.I’ll be back at you in a bit, providing the Inca gods of the internet cooperate.My crew wanted to storm the GOcomics headquarters and free Dry but the ellusive buggers keep changing their location.Maybe a few salvos in their general direction will help ?

My sign will just be my avatar with the dry martini (not that I’m trying to bribe anyone, but I can’t drink them myself).

Good morning Dry.

Remember to honor those bomb dogs in combat. Scooter is just an old vet. Making sure Ballard Street is safe from sidewalk side IEDs.

Well, since no Booker’s is available, I will supply it. Dry likes belting back a few shots with me and then watch out . She isn’t known as *FHIG*without reason.

Oops…I got “Dry” crooked.

For fear of re-peeting mahseff…FREE DRY!!!

gotta run to teh meatlokker… need more ribs….enybuddy want sum?

Did I hear something about ribs?

Stel’s signs are stellar as I would expect from such an expert.@Shika, my searches did not locate anything appropriate for the occasion for FHIG.

How about a FHAS

OK, that FHIG is good!

Night all.Night Dry.

i will take some of them yak ribs to go pleez. i have to go make a special delivery now (on a big silver bird) but when i get back, maybe i will put a fresh king salmon on the grill at the tiki if its ok and maybe some creme brulee for dessert too. and tell that useless sheriff ( who has never arrested any one at all) to save some tanduay for me.

And, apparently, the occasional metal detector. :)

I had an idea for a cartoon but could not figure out how to do the perspective. We see a scowling guy approaching along a beach. He is carrying a metal detector. Behind him, we see a few holes dug in the sand. Next to each hole is a discarded metal detector. :)

Well – technically, Cleo is a blood hound…

Hey, a dog’s got to have a hobby.

Good morning Balladeers and Tigressy!
