Big Top by Rob Harrell for June 03, 2009

Good morning all. Now that Cleo is back, I’ll let him cook, but I brought bagels.

Hi Margueritem:

Not much going on so I;m headed off to zzzzzzzzzland.

G’Night to all who’s left.

Morning Terry and Marg,I agree, Cleo, we need your breakfast expertise. We tried to keep it going while you were gone but the tribe got tired of oatmeal.

When did WWE join the circus?

PIRATE: Check out today’s ‘Rubes’.

Good night, all. Have a good day tomorrow.

Night Marg

i cant sleep. i have been trying to do so since 10:30 pm it is now 1:03 am i gave up about 30 min ago and started coloring. lol now that my bro is off i can get on here.

so i played some game called pop it from pogo.com.. it was interesting. now i am going to go try to go to bed. night all see you later on…. peace and love.

Morning and Happy Wednesday. tabby I hope you got some sleep.

Good Morning everyone. I’m early this time. Hey tabby try and do what I when Mr. Insomina pays a late-night visit:

1.Read A Book

2.Play the radio or the TV (with a timer on so it can turn off)

3.Or what I do: Listen to recorded bed bedtime stories you made for your children.

Poor Wink! He’s looks so silly!

Mornin’ all!

Morning tribe!

Tabby You’re right - I do know that song, but not near as well as that little girl does!

tabby, shika, bmonk, and others who pray - please pray for my left hand. In the past, I’ve had a dislocated finger and a cracked finger, so when I injured it Monday, it didn’t seem to hurt as bad as those times, and figured it was the equivalent of stubbing a toe. But it is STILL sore, and slightly swollen (I can only tell that by comparing it to my other hand.) I can move it okay, and do light things with it like typing. But it hurts to grip anything - like taking the cap off a marker, or turning a doorknob. I really don’t want to have more medical bills, or trips to get physical therapy!! If it isn’t better by Friday, I guess I’ll have to go see a doctor. So, pray that it heals by then.

You got our prayers RRAmom, but pray tell, what happened to your left hand? Wink, quit monkeying around and get in the program!

Yikes, Wink looks like a feathered raccoon! Good Morning Tribe! RRAmom, I will pray for your hand too. Hey, it’s hump day and that is not an innuendo! I’m cleaning house today, so I will popping in here and there. Have a good day everyone!

Goodquestion I hurt my hand by being klutzy. I tried to pull myself up into a truck cab, and since I had a Coke bottle in my hand, didn’t get a good enough grip, and slipped. I think it bent my finger(s) back too far, but not sure. I can’t even tell for sure exactly where the injury is located - all my fingers hurt on that hand from the swelling.

Thanks carmy!

tabbylynn: I have played pogo for a long time and love the games. I have the Club membership and can give 5 day passes for that. Let me know your pogo name and I will send you one.

RMom - I hope that you didn’t break anything. Try to keep your hand elevated, that might help the swelling. If possible, try to exercise your fingers by moving them. Hope you get better soon.

Okay, breakfast…Let’s see, how about a sun-dried tomato frittata with fresh basil and sauteed onions, served with my homemade light wheat bread. Cubes of honeydew and cantaloupe on the side and my sonic coffee or cranberry juice for your beverage choices.

Morning Tribe!

Cleo, I’ll have some of your delicious looking breakfast with coffee and juice. I will be out gardening today, and will be scarce until this evening, so this is a check in and check out.

The gardening is a wee summer job I’ve picked up for extra $$$. I love being out doors too!

Thanks doc

Cleo - Since I’ve cracked & dislocated fingers before, I’ve had a little experience in this area, unfortunately. I don’t think I broke anything, since the pain seems spread over a wide area, and not specific to a precise point. The swelling isn’t too severe - sort of what water retention looks like, but only one hand. Is it possible to just pull/sprain muscles or ligaments on fingers?

Morning everyone, I am just here for the food. LOL cleo I don’t think I ever had sun dried tomato frittata but it does sound good although I already had breakfast but can not pass up on coffee. Well ciao & later, gators!

TABBY: Hope you got some sleep after all. I have those night. Colouring soounds fun! I’ll try that next time.

CARMY: Hope you have a good day.

DawnA: I’ll never tire of oatmeal. But the variety here is too good to pass up!

JFri: Good one, I think. What’s WWE? I know WWS (Sports) Boxing? Wrestling?

Morning DRY: I agree, Wink looks silly! Too cute.

Morning Doc T. Have a good day today. Hope it’s not too hot.

RRAmom: Prayers for you coming up. Time to do my devotions- I slept in today.

Morning Terry and Akenta! I’ll catch you guys later.

Peace and Love!

Good morning all! I may be scarce over the next few days, so don’t worry about search parties.

For breakfast - I finally located my chrome plated dishes so that I can make Eggs Benedict.

RMom - Finger sprains are definitely possible, keep it elevated as mentioned above and alternate heat and ice should help. Definitely get it checked though.

RRAmom sounds like you pulled your tendons. Usually happens in other areas (my knees, once) and hurts like blazes. Ice should help but in the long run, time will heal your hand. Suggest you cut down on multi-tasking. Prayers and good vibes coming your way. Cleo- we sure missed your breakfests, I’m swelling up like a balloon here! Ummmumm good! ☼

docT, why are you telling me* this? Shouldn’t you be talking to *comicaddict? You freeze your brain at work last night? Or have you been into the rum?

Thanks for the advice. I’ve made an appointment for tomorrow afternoon. I’ll let you know what I find out. Dfrog the heat might be a good idea - I’ll have to dig out my hot wax bath and use it on it. (The hot wax bath is an appliance designed to soak feet in hot wax to soften them. I haven’t used mine much because my feet are too big to fit in it. But when I dislocated my finger, soaking my hand in hot wax was part of the physical therapy.)

Shika WWE is wrestling!

Dry don’t worry about Commicaddict and Rubes today - I left a note there as to why.

Welcome again, everyone. Took a little mid-morning snooze. Did I miss anything?

docT, well thanks a TON! Like I want the pirate mad at *me*? Are you NUTS?

D.F. I left you a note at Rubes.

A very good reason to own a dog instead of a cat!! http://assets.comics.com/dyn/str_strip/000000000/00000000/0000000/200000/80000/4000/500/284565/284565.full.gif

JFri - Good one. But the cat was only interested to begin with because of the mouse.

Another full day of yard work ahead of me. Why did I become involved with a woman who loves a yard that looks like a park?

Oh yeah, I remember now. Hee, hee.

Cleo, your breakfast sounds delicious, of course its lunch time now.

DF eggs benedict is one of my all time favorites, load me up!!

Pirates are popular today!

Dry, LUNCH TIME? Try breakfast time….at least here in the real world!

JFri, it is lunchtime in my Real world!! 12:10 to be exact! And I forgot to grab a Stouffers this morning when I left the house! Sigh!

Doc, did you check out JFri’s link!! HILARIOUS!! I love it!! :-D

Dry, I,ve got a Stouffers lasagna riiiiight here. In the real world!!!

Dry - I will send a piece of frittata your way. It is perfect for lunch and dinner, as well.

Morning all.

RRAmom Added you to my prayers. Glad you are having it checked out.

JFri Agree about why a dog instead of a cat. Funny strip.

DocT Hi and yes I’ll agree your nuts, although some of your past(hint is it has to do with that love thing) resembles some of my past so we have reason to be nuts.

Cleo Don’t work too hard but keeping her happy will keep you happy.

josh1360 Power naps are always good.

DigitalFrog Can’t wait for those eggs benedict.

Carmy See ya when your done with the house.

Dry Hi Dry!

Tabbylynn Hope ya got some sleep.

Akenta Hope your day is good.

Shikamoo Nothing wrong with some mad money. $$$$$$$

If I missed anyone I am sorry, but I’m still trying to figure out a better way to type with this steering wheel stuck to my hand. LOL

Terry, You are as bad as JFri!

I’m taking off for my last treatment for this week. I get the pump taken off today, big YEA! Tomorrow I will only need to go in for a shot. I’ll catch up here later this afternoon.

JFri, my friend (?) I’m starving, and you’re cruel * :-P*

Thanks Dry, I didn’t think you’d notice.

carmy - Good luck.

Carmy Glad things are looking up. P&L

Hi Yappy Nuts!

I’m having lunch befre heading out to my day job.

JFri. Good cartoon! How true. My cat sometimes puts me on his blocked list! Until he’s hungry! And then he sends ME a friend request!

Silly me, I always accept. Pathetic, isn’t it? LOL

RRAmom: I’m glad you are getting your hand looked after.

CLEO: Nice of you to send RRAmom some food. It’s good food too!

CARMY: That’s wonderful new!Take a big withdrawal today to boost your energy. Then come back, and celebrate with us!

DOCTORTOON: What’s this about Stouffers? Are you freezing us out? (You’re fun to be stuck with, but I’d better know what you are referring to before committing myself.)

What do you mean you think I should be commited anyways? : (

DRY: SKREEE! Think of Jack Banny and his violin. See what you’ve done to me? =P

When in AZ a couple of weeks ago, we had ravioli catered in one night – excellent! I think it was Giuseppes in Payson, but I’m not sure…Dad said he also makes wonderful lasagna, so I’ll offer a tray of each so you can decide…with the garlic buns, green salad (Italian dressing, of course!), and veggie tray as sides.

Shikamoo, nobody has said I should be committed….

Oops, I already am, and living in an institution. Oh nooooo!

Make that Jack BENNY.

Hi BMONK! Thanks for the offering. I’m on my way out to my little day job (see previous posts.) Your lasgne and ravioli will go niely with my spaggetti with homemade sauce.

digital. Have a good week. We’ll miss you!

bye for now. BBL

bmonk: Neat avatar1 Has DocT seen it? Or rather his cat?

I don’t think so. I’m posting it, for a while at least, in response to the current Girl Genius strip, and a comment or two over at Pibgorn. Any other benefits are purely serendipitous.

Parting Shot @ JFri.

I think that WWE may have been WWW at one time (I said WWS). Hulk Hogan come to mind, among other characters.

bmonk, thanks for the vittles! Now see JFri that’s the way you’re supposed to treat a hungry friend!!!

bmonk

I’ll have some of that grub if you don’t mind. In case that doesn’t last till supper, I’ve also got some grilled cheese sammiches and tomato soup, with some fruit on the side just to hold us over.

Doc, Yes thanks for the waffle. I’ll be nice, (at least until the waffle is toasted!!! LOL)

Them was the days, huh doc? :-D

FOOD FOR THOUGHT:

Give a person a fish and you feed them for a day, teach a person to use the Internet and they won’t bother you for weeks!!

Doc, OMG ROFLMAO!!!

Unfortunately I need to get a couple of vehicles done today. I’ll yap at ya all later.

BTW DocT, Dry, those horns sure can be dangerous. Never mess with an accordian player.

DocT; Were there too many letters in that last word on your last post? LOL

Terry, I’ll take some of your soup & semmiches! Sory, Dry. I’ll try to do better….been hangin’ around a certain pirate tooooooo long!

I told you there were similarities.

Innuendo? Isn’t that the Italian word for suppository?

hi all. i got maybe 3 hours of sleep and my head is bounding form it. tomorrow i will be getting a kid. he is 7 at about lunch time maybe….so it will be fun. im hoping for my baby also…. (I HAVE NO KIDS AT ALL!! I BABYSIT ONLY 19 AND DONT WANT KIDS TILL IM FINISHED SCHOOL AND MARRIED IN LIKE TEN YEARS. LOL) okay i feel better.

thanks for the suggestions Josh i did read. i watched a movie. listened to music and tried everything. i don’t have any stories on tape but its a good idea thanks

Rmom i will pray for you. hope it heals fast. the prayer here is powerful look at me.. im up and can almost run. sitting Indian style again. :D also i love that song we here it on Sunday and i can sing it but not as good as her.

Saucy i think my name was TabbyL i just started last night/this morning lol my neighbor and good friend told me about it.

Doc are you trying to tell Dry that if she doesn’t stop you will do to here what happened to the Rabbit in …. lol thanks

http://www.gocomics.com/features/search? search_string=rabbits+against+magic

All check out calvin and hobbes comments today. the person. ladywolf could use some prayer as well.

the people there are giving her and her dad a hard time… i feel bad. what can we do?

since im once again having a party of one…. i am getting off. need to get started getting ready for church tonight. bbl peace and love

Tabby: Your pass should be in whatever email you used to sign up for Pogo. Maybe Ladywolf should comment here where we don’t care if it’s off topic.

Does anyone else think we ought to invite ladywolf & her dad to move their off-topic comments here?

Saucy thanks ill check it in a few… rmom and saucy thanks that is what i was getting at. i think we should. i say go for it.

tabbylynn, RRAmom:

As I somewhat stated on C&H, I’m not sure how to take it. I don’t mind off topic, which is why I was so glad to find this strip and all you great people. But why would a parent let her child, albeit high school age, explain that much about herself and then state tha you’re proud after an offensive and destructive action once you had the idiot repellled. This is the third time I have written this and have erased the previous two. I surely hope I don’t offend anyone on this strip. I really am liking this strip more and more every day.

Gotta go deliver a car to the customer. BBL

Aye, Joy, me darlin’! A right proper ship she be! I bin ta’ Rubes a’ready but I be checkin it again!

Saucy how do you find someone on pogo?? my friend plays and i want to talk to her on there… can you help?

Terry - I think the “elders” of BT ought to make the decision. My thinking is that if they switched their conversations over here, we could draw more info out of them to decide if they’re scamming or for real. I think some of the others here have more experience than I do, dealing with trolls and other dangers of the internet, and might be better judges. I think I do a pretty fair job of discerning in RL, but it is easier when I have more clues on which to base my decisions.

Hello everyone, I am doing okay and I wanted to thank you all for your support. You all are just the bestest, nicest people ever. commic, I left a link for you to see on Rubes. It’s another piratey song.

tabby The more I think about it, I think Joy is right. BT is to be a party - a place for fun. ladywolf has some serious issues, and if they are for real, it wouldn’t be kind to make light of them. If they aren’t for real, then we don’t need that type of people here. It does seem odd for a parent & teenager to communicate with each other on gocomics. If I want to communicate with my teenager, and he’s not in the house, I send him an email, or call him. Considering how quickly they’ve gone from surface to deep issues in their comments, I tend to agree that they’re fishing for something. What, I’m not sure, but it may be best to leave well enough alone.

I’m so glad you’re doing okay, carmy. You are a brave lady!

As for me, I take what people say, here or elsewhere, at face value. If they want to pull the wool over my eyes, so be it. Soon enough the truth will out, if it’s important. And I don’t really change my life based on what might or might not be true. Trust, but verify, as someone once said.

Well, As I’m a tribe elder, I say BAD idea!

And the larger this gets, the harder it will be to keep up with everything. We have a nice group, I say if “it aion’t broke, don’t try to fix it”! And I find those two off the wall!

@Joy, I’ve been noticing that the synchronization of the servers seems to be beginning to drift a bit again. A few months back it got gradually worse, until things were five or ten minutes out of whack. You could even lap yourself by posing comment-response-response by original commenter in reverse order. It caused no end of confusion; over at Pibgorn, we chalked it up to Roger’s reprogramming of the Suzerain master computer on the fly. Eventually, though, someone over at the administration seems to have noticed and reset things.

@doctortoon, here’s how I do the Rubik’s:

Get the corner cubicles aligned

Turn the center cubicles to match

Work on the edge cubicles in groups of four

When everything else fails, get a screwdriver (or similar implement. A key often works), take the #$_**#%$^%@#$ thing apart, and reassemble in finished order.

bmonk Thanks for the explanation. I was a bit confused how that happened, so your explanation is helpful.

Yes, the synchronization is only a big problem for those comics where you get lots of posts, which then are necessarily closer in time. It used to be easier, when the time marks updated themselves; I would just wait until they said “posted one minute ago” or even two or three. Now, with the unchanging time marks, that doesn’t work. [sigh]

Good afternoon!! Let’s see what comments I can remember to comment on.

rramom how’s the hand doing? I couldn’t remember if it should be ice or heat, but I think they were both covered and you knew what to do anyway.

carmy glad you’re still okay. Hopefully tomorrow you’ll be better than okay

tabby glad you’re still healing

I saw the posts earlier on Calvin & Hobbes. By the time I read through them, I still wasn’t sure how real they were. The daughter just showed up a few days ago and then this, so who knows. Either way, I hope everyone is ok.

Terry I hope you’re not texting and driving. We yell at JFri for doing that, so we have to yell at you too. (and tabby if I ever find out that you’re doing that, you’ll be grounded)

Time to walk a little (5 minutes only) so I should be back before the dance show starts up.

RRAmom:

I did not try to infringe by thinking my opinion would sway the “elders”. I just put my opinion into words. I thought this was OK on this location from watching this site for 3-4 days and doing my homework. If there are certain meetings or discussions that newbies are not invited to for an opinion then I/We need to be advised. I would never try to intentionally hurt anyone with my comments which is why I usually add “I hope I’m not offending anyone”. It is hard at 51yrs to not give an opinion on an open site.

Akenta I don’t text and drive, but when I’m running my computer scan tool to see what the cars computer is doing, I guess it’s almost like texting. What’s MY punishment, pray tell?

Akenta thanks for asking. My hand is still about the same. I’ve tried to remove my wedding ring, but can’t get it off. I’ve tried every trick in the book I can think of - ice pack, cold water, butter, liquid soap, turning it like a nut on a bolt, and ibuprofen. I think the only thing left is to cut it off. Maybe it won’t be as swollen tomorrow, and I’ll have more luck getting it off. I think I’m supposed to remove my ring before adding heat, so haven’t tried the heat yet.

WHEN DOES THE PARTY START ???!!!

bmonk I see I’m not the only one who misses the automatically updating time marks.

Terry Please tell me you only text when you’re stopped! I have no idea how anyone can text and watch the road at the same time.

Edited - I see your explanation - I feel much better now!

Terry I have no problem with anyone giving their “two cents worth”, I’m sorry if you thought I did.

Thank You RRAmom and I hope everything with your hand turns out well. At my age the healing is not as quick anymore!

RRAmom I like all who have been on this site since I got here and I wouldn’t want to jepordize that. But with me always saying what I feel has occasionally bothered/offended people. Not intentional mind you. I haven’t been here long enough to comment on what you guys allowe here nor to expect you all to listen to any of MY life problems yet. Maybe that will come in time, who knows. I,ve been around long enough to test to temp of the soup before throwing it into my pie hole.

Terry no punishment - I guess it sounded like you were typing here while you were in your car. I think the bt and driving could be a dangerous combination. You’re old enough to know better. tabby knows better too, but most 19 year olds don’t, so I’m setting some rules for her, just to be on the safe side.

And Terry, your opinions are always welcomed here. Don’t be afraid to state them (minus the politics and religion rules).

Akenta

If I was driving and had BT on a laptop or my blackberry, I’d be pulled off on the side of the road and never get anywhere!

The hardest part of this “site” is not knowing what time it is in you alls given area. I never know if your gone for dinner, sleep, work, etc. Or I just ticked someone(s) off.

Well off to check Fantasy BB out early. This way I’ll stop crying in time for bed!

Whatever you do, don’t set your clock by docT his wacky hours will just confuse you more.

terry do you do fantasy football too. Any others here interested in that? If so, maybe I’ll start a league for us to join. Unless I get completely disgusted with the sport in the next couple of months.

Akenta Count me in most definitely! Oh yeah!

Hi Tribe,

I’m still on page two, but I thought I would log in first to say he to everyone.

I’ve had a few blissful hours utside in sunny 60oF weather prepping a garden for planting. a drake and hen mallard landed in the pool while I was there. You don’t often see ducks in my apartment building- which is why it is nice to see them in someone else’s pool. Quack!

Hi Shikamoo,

Good to see ya. How was work?

RRAmom: I used to work in a service department. Use Windex to get your ring off. Really- we used it when all else failed. But don’t keep yanking or twisting it. Let me know if it works.

Hi Shika and Terry,

Wow, work is starting to wreak havoc on me. Akenta, I would be interested in that.

TERRY:

Loved it. It’s not a real job, as I can’t work right now, but someone from church helps me out by having me garden for her- it’s a huge garden, and I can earn enough to help with bills. Plus, I’m healthier for it.

That sounds nice Shika, last summer I worked outside at the city pool and LOVED bring outside. I work in a factory now, and hate being stuck inside all day, but I make more money, so that is good. Speaking of exercise, I must head out for a run, BBL.

Terry: It is natural to make a few goofs here, and put your foot in your mouth when you are new. Trust me, I know! But these are a forgiving bunch of people, and apart from making you walk the plank or blowing a horn in your face, or having a rubiks cube thrown at you, you won’t have anyone retaliate for a remark you make here! ☺

Hey Shikamoo, if it keeps you busy AND make some nickels, great! Enjoying it is a huge bonus.

johnnydoc5: Having a Fantasy League with names you’re familiar with is way better than not.

Understood Shikamoo. I didn’t think I made a goof.

Hey DOC T: I love the story of how you guys started the party. It makes sense now. I always wondered how it started.

DRY, Joy and JFri: What on earth made you talk about Stouffers so much?

Tabby: I love your new flower. I’d get one too, but then I think I’ll stick to cat avatars. I don’t have my own garden!

TERRY: You didn’t make a goof. I was just saying not to worry about saying something here. Unless you turn mean over night, I can’t see you offending anyone. We try to give each other grace here, as Type is hard to evaluate for intention. The body language just doesn’t show up on the screen somehow. I like to look for a twinkle in someone’s eye or something to judge how to rate their statement.

Here, i assume that things are meant to be taken lightly. I’m learning anyways!

Speaking of newbies, where’s my friend QUABY? How’s the flea bag, er how’s Stormy Quabby? I should find a photo of MY Stormy so we can compare cats. She was a beauty.

time for dinner and a shower.

BBL

Thanks Shika. BBL myself.

Busy, busy, busy, don’t have time for anything but work. I am now making beer can chicken on the BBQ and my wife is making coleslaw and beans. Any takers?

CARMY: I just saw the Pirate movie. How did the Tribe get on it? LOL

commicaddict: What a hansome pirate ye be! Great pipes too!

Wouldn’t it be fun to be on an island like that for a party?

BBL

Cleo Slap some on my plate. I’m starving.

Well, my tv downstairs doesn’t want to turn on :-( I’m just going to watch my show in the bedroom and go to sleep. See everyone tomorrow.

Take care, all!!

Here for a minute- dinner’s waiting, but not as good as CLEO’S : (

JOY: I’m glad you got to Pirate on time. No doubt the two of you are having a quiet celebration now. Enjoy!

DOC: I’m off to check out C & H to see what’s uup. No invites from me, I promise.

Shika I’ll try your tip in the morning, after it has had a night to relax. I realized that tugging on it just made it worse, so after it was obvious that it wasn’t coming off, I quit. I usually leave my ring on all the time, but the few times before that I’ve had to take it off, the liquid soap and “unscrewing” motion had done the trick.

My hubby unexpectedly showed up tonight, so guess I’ll sign off until tomorrow. (I usually only see him on weekends.)

I haven’t even had time to make my second round through the comics. Gosh, I was not cut out to be a gardener/ chef. The chicken is looking g-o-o-d.

@cleokaya, that beer can chicken sounds like a community dinner recipe here, called Schwein im Trog (“Pig in the Trough”). They take a whole porker, put it in a (large) cooker trough, for a 6 foot cooker. Then they pour in about 25 gallons of (stale) beer, plop in the veggies (onions, carrots, potatoes and the like, plus spices), maybe some sausage, a few turkeys or chickens, depending on how many guests you expect to feed, and cook it for six or so hours. Tastes great! (But only for at least 40-50 people…)

Cleo, call the “gardener lady hotline”. The food we’ll all pitch in.

bmonk - your dish sounds great. mIne consists of a dry rub of pepper, kosher salt, paprika and brown sugar. Rub the ingredients both inside and out and put some in half full beer can, that has been punctured a few more times. Plant chicken on beer can and let BBQ for 2 1/2 hours for 4lb. chicken.

CLEO: I’m picturing a chicken lying on a beer can as though it’s about to hatch. I’m guessing the beer can goes inside the chicken? (I hope this isn’t too graphic for those who are still eating. ☺) I’m just wondering how the beer flavours the chicken, and the second option makes more sense to me.

Terry- I left a note for you at C & H.

DOC: That post you made was sensitive and appropriate for the two. Also, you are right about them finding us if they are meant to. We want to keep this place a safe place to have fun. We aren’t qualified to help other than offer support and kindness to anyone who lands on this door step.

Guess everyone’s eating, doing dishes, or sleeping (or if you are DOC, maybe working?)

I have dishes to do now. BBL P & L

The chicken is rubbed with spices inside and out and also spices are added to half full beer can which is indeed inserted into chicken. The chicken is cooked for about 2 to 3 hours until the meat falls off the bone. DELICIOUS!

STOP IT! STOP IT! You’re killing me Cleo and bmonk, I wasn’t hungry until I read those last couple of posts. Now my tummy is a rumblin’, but I have to go to bed. So I will be off, enjoy your food. It sounds great. Good night all!

Thank you Shikamoo; I think I’m exhausted over this, BBL unless I fall asleep.

Hey Cleo!

Greetings fellow space cadets, I’ve been cleaning up my WEBS.COM site and putting the finishing touches on my facebook and myspace site. This along with trying to figure out what changed some settings on my regular computer have kept me pretty busy yesterday and today.

I tried to go into my toon routine about mid-day only to find that the comment don’t show. I’ve done an anti-virus scan, registry check and registry booster. Nothing helps. I even did a restore back to yesterday. Nothing.

I was beginning to think someone scrapped my account till I tried my freebie ond it didn’t show either. My “Gen” account works here on the laptop so it’s still OK.

I’m at a bit of a loss as to what or who to call next. I’m sure it’s just a setting somewhere, I just don’t know where.

Think, think, think!!!

Use the force, Rad! Sorry, most help I can give you!

OK, I’ll try.

TRY not!…DO! Or Do not! … No TRY! OK, Tomorrow then

*You have failed me for the LAST time, Admiral.

I’m installing some updates right now, perhaps that’ll help a little. It’s not like it’s gonna cripple me. I still have a laptop to participate on.

I’m thinking that it was either the facebook or myspace site that blitzed me comment ability. Just need to remember to keep them off this laptop now.

Radical: Glad you could make it anyways. I hope you get the problem fixed. Think positively:

I-CAN-FIX-THIS!

Good-night, Knight!

JFri: I hope it’s not the last time. Second last time?

But, My lord… It’s such a pretty uniform and I really want to keep it. The girls at teh cantina thinks its Uber-Cool!

You have failed me for the LAST time, Admiral.

OOPS. I thought left eagle was home computer. It’s right-eagle?

See, Mua, as I was saying, there’s this neat site where people talk to you. But it’s gone, gone, all gone!

Well, my “Gen” account IS normally on the home computer, but I’m not getting any comments on it right now. I tried it on the laptop just to see that My “Gen” account hadn’t been deleted.

What’s that you say Mua? Meow? What the heck kind of comment is that? Sigh. I miss my buddies at B.T. : (

I sense a military uprising.

Oh, what the hey! Give it another shot, Rad, my boy!

What was that? Where you talking to me? Yeah! The site’s back!

Hope it comes back Rad.

Cleo? Your hear too? Oh JOY!, I mean, yeah Cleo. Joy’s not here.

What will the Admiral do now?

I SAID, CLEO? YOU’RE HERE TOO?

Shika, I find your lack of faith disturbing.

MOI? Lack of faith? Just a momentary lapse. It’s over now.

Shika - I am here. I am here as a burnt out hollow wreck. It has been a day of mowing, watering and then BBQ duty. But, I feel great.

Don’t shout JFri. =P

As long as you are a happy burnt out hollow wreck.

I myself feel great also- if a little sore from gardening after a winter of sitting at a computer writing papers.

Are you in the wreck-room CLEO?

AW COWPOOP! I can’t find anything on their FAQ’s so I’ll shoot off a message to GoComics “Contact” department.

Have a good one peoples. I’m outta here for tonight.

You know, if it is sunny, I can put up with a lot of crap. A couple of days ahead we are looking at about 5 days of possible rain. I am enjoying the moment. GIVE ME SUNSHINE.

Ah! (light bulb appears) It’s a GAME you two were talking about. Carry on as before then Admiral. I wouldn’t want you to lose your uniform. That’s Cleo’s department!

Sunshine on my shoulder makes me happy!

Uniform??? I have no uniform to lose sweetie.

Good night Radical-knight, Sir! Have a good sleep. Dream good dreams.

JFri: Have you left too?

Cleo: I may be heading off, make that I should be heading off for Z-Land. How about you? I mean on your side of the contenant. Is it about 10:00p.m. there?

Cleo: That’s what I meant.

Bye-bye Doc. don’t freeze your…feet off! Have a good night at work.

Shika, that’s my Darth Vader voice!

You mean that Darth Vader speaks LIKE THIS???

This is my Luke Skywalker voice.

I like Darth’s better. It’s easier to read =D

YES!!

Shika - It is only 8:45 here. It is still early.

Hey guys, I have a dentist’s appointment in the morning : (

I’d better brush and floss and get to sleep.

Have a good night fellow Tribe-mates. See you all tomorrow, DV. (Oh, that’s Deo Volute or God willing, NOT Darth Vader.)

G’night JFri, Cleo and anyone still reading here.

Ever notice these posts take a while?

JFri: ARE YOU SURE? Speak up I can’t read you!

That IS early Cleo. It’s almost midight here.

Good night, Shika.

Darth Vader: #GOOD NIGHT!!**

Thanks for the company!

Shika - you need to be here with us bozo boys.

Darn. I lost my BIG VOICE. :/

Bozo boys? I can’t get away?

I guess Bozo the Clown belongs at B.T. Okay Cleo. what’s on the agenda?

CLEO?

At least I found my voice.

cleo, what do you mean telling me I have to be here, and then you leave, eh?

206 comments? Figured as much.

nite all!

cleo any back flips naked at the car wash on the entertainment agenda?

Foiled again. Mua, I tell you, don’t trust men. They leave you every time. Or maybe, I just don’t wait long enough for a reply.

I’ll count to three.

ONE.

TWO.

Night, Dry!

My agenda is vacant. For as long as aloud.

THAT caught my attention!

Good Night Dry!

A vacant agenda? You must be kidding. since when do you have nothing to do CLEO.

JFri: what are you saying?

Shika, set a mood and then set a tude. Yeah, right. Party hearty my toonerinos.

THREE

Explain Cleo. My sleep-deprived brain isn’t sure what you said.

Mood? Crazy. Tude? same. Like that?

Naked back flips are not difficult.

Thank you JFri. I can take a hint. Three to you two. ☺

P & L, okay?

AWWW….Jeee…

Okay, show me one before I leave.

What hint? Now you are confusing me, Shika!

YOU’RE CONFUSED?

Why, yes. Yes I am!

Where you helping me to count? I thought you meant 1–2-3 and you’re out!

Now I’m confused too.

Cleo: You can’t do back-flips! Admit it!

JFri: NOW I get it. I’m the confused one. TEE-HEE. One-Two-Three. Okay speak up.

You were counting to 3 & only got to 2 so I was just trying to help :-)

You’re laughing at me!

That’s what I thought. Finally.

So what’s this about a car wash? It keeps coming up in the converstaion, but I’ve never seen it.

Who is laughing at whom?

Seems to me that someone said it would get Cleo in trouble. Is that why you disappeared Cleo?

JFri: You confusing me now. YOU are laughing at me because I can’t count.

A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away….cleo said he would do back flips naked at the car wash at 2;00 AM to impress his wife.

I see. So THAT how it is. Trick me into staying awake and then leave, sneak out. Fine. See if I care! : )

I’m not laughing at you. Just trying to be helpful* 0:-)*

Oh. Now that would impress anyone. In or out of the car? It would have to be outside, I’m guessing.

Thanks JFri, that’s sweet of you. How do you count in German again?

Do you have a Darth Vader cloak to go with the voioce? The whole outfit?

One of my friends dessed as R2-D2 for Halloween. It was a hoot. Sorry, I mean funny.

YES! I do!

Wow! Will you wear it here next time?

Eins, zwei, drei, vier, funf, sechs, sieben, acht, neun, zehn. You have to guess which number is which!

Darth Vader is cool. And scary. You won’t zap me with a light saber, will you?

1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10. So there!

**No! Unless you won’t join the Dark Side!

un, deux, trois quatre, cinq, six, sept, wheat (☺) neuf, dix.

I only look on the bright side. I’m an optimist. :~)

Sometimes I’m on The Far side.

I’ve been zapped, haven’t I?

Hey, you’re religious proclivities are none of my business (optimist)

Hey. I just put two guys to sleep. That’s a record, even for me.

An optimist is not a religious proclivity! We don’t discuss religion here, remember?

Huit, Shika, but then with the happy face I guess you knew. I had forgotten the mental picture of Cleo in the car wash - thanks for the reminder ;-( Thanks Cleo for the chicken - delicious after a day out on the bike. Cya all in the mornin’

Good night DawnAvril. Thanks for the spelling. I couldn’t remember how to spell it, so I’m glad you knew what the happy face meant.

Why do you keep saying these crazy things? I’m not asleep, just working on the Blackberry (it’s slow going)

Hey, Darth. I’ll join the dark side for tonight. You won’t zap me, promise?

I promise….NO zapping!

Oh, right. I should have noticed the Blackberry in your hand. I wonder what was taking so long. I’m kinda impatient. does it show? ;)

Cleo, at least you could have said good night.

YES!

OKAY. NOW WE HAVE THAT SETTLED. WHAT NOW?**

You mean yes, it shows I’m impatient? (Innocent look on my face.)

Or , YES! Cleo could have said good night?

Yes & I’m NOT fooled by that innocent look!

Dropped your Blackberry? Opps. didn’t mean to sound impatient.

La, la, la, just biding my time here….

(Eye lashes fluttering) Why, I declare, You’re not?

marker 269

Nein!

Or, 269 in French and German.

….back to comments.

Nein? No, or nine. Hmm. I pick, #NO**

Lost my voice again.

269 in multiple languages? WOW!

Yes. I can say it in many languages. 269. 269. 269. 962….that last one is arabic.
