Big Top by Rob Harrell for January 31, 2010

Good Sunday Morning Tribe!

Since I am first………………………………

Here’s the breakfast schedule for this morning……………….

Orders are served as order per your choice. No limits either! When I’m not right here, my virtual stand in is here to prepare the order!

Enjoy!

Good Morning Marg, Dry & Carmy!!

Terry, eggs benedict? Which I will eat in my room, as I am heading off to slumberland!

Good night and good morning to all who shows up, unless you happen to be a troll!

And one last greeting!

HI MARG! HI CARMY! HI JFRI!

Enjoy your meal, Dry!

Good Night.

Good Morning Terry, Dry, Marg and JFri! Good Night, Dry! Sweet dreams girl! Thanks for breakfast, Terry! I think I’ll just grab a pastry for now.

Whatever your sweet heart desires, Carmy.

Ooo, nice breakfast, Terry! I’ll have scrambled eggs with thick cut bacon and sourdough toast, please.

‘Morning Dry and Carmy!

’MORNING, JFRI!!

And goodnight, all!

Marg, just as you ordered!

Enjoy, dear lady!

Good Night Marg!

Dry no insult meant, I was refering to the Big Top strip being your meeting place.

I don’t usually read your conversations but I was curious as to whether you were getting nagged by PandP here also.

I actually think it is cool that you guys meet up like this on one of the strips. And now I know were to go to for expert gocomic advice.

CARRY ON TRIBE!!!!

Good Morning LuvH8.

Welcome and stop by anytime. We have fun here.

We try to ignore the……………………oh well you get the idea.

Good morning all! No football today, I don’t know what I am going to do with myself. Anyhow, I need sleep, so I’ll hit the hay. Peace and love all! (again)

A quick side note: I like clothes, and with this weather, I can’t afford not to like clothes, so no worries Dry!

Hello Johnny. I’m outta here myself.

Good Night All

Peace & Love Tribe Friends!

HI, MARG, Carmy & Dry!!!

Thank you Lonewolf.

I’ll try not to troll, although other than being mean, I’m not sure what that is.

Hello!……..Goodnight!

LONEWOLF Thanks for the offer but I’ll just have one stale crumb of bread with a sip of warm water to wash it down. Woe is me, the end of January and I haven’t lost my 30 pounds. I will wear sackcloth and heap ashes upon myself.Or I could pig out today and say tomorrow is a new month. Pile up my plate, I’m going to go for it.

It’s a new dawn TRIBE! Make it count!

Good Morning All. I need my lizard boy rain coat today. Rain, rain, rain. Nah, no outfit is best. I will just drip dry.

Hangtown Fry, hash browns, crumpets with strawberry freezer jam, Bloody Mary with extra horseradish and Doc’s Nuclear Coffee please.

Doc you might want to check out Bob the Squirrel.

Morning Doc, yep raincoats cramp my style.

if I am so interesting to talk about = please get my name right = Yes it is open forum

pearland Peach.

didn’t think you were a jerk; that you had more class than that , Doc Toon.

HI ALL !

Good morning all. I just thought I’d stop by to say HI on my way to bed. I just feel extra tired today so I don’t know if I’ll be able to get up early enough to drop in again today. So I’ll see everyone later or maybe tomorrow. Fortunately this is my last night for a few days. You wouldn’t believe how many spelling mistakes I’ve had to correct just in this short note. Hope I’ve got them all.

serena good morning and good night.

Good Morning Doc, Cleo, P&P, Serena, JFri & Lewreader

Good Morning Terry.

Nicely stated explanation about us, Doc.

Serena after a point, I quit worrying about the typos!

Doc I don’t think Pearl could lighten up if her/his life depened on it.

Good Morning Dry!

LuvH8 I’ll accept what you said, Doc explained the rules, so drop by whenever. Oh, he did forget one rule, first poster makes breakfast for all who folllow after! :-D

will lighten up - sorry I misunderstood.

Ms. pearland Peach

pear or peach = no pearls.

..but every time I think of pearls..the line that whathisname wrote comes up:calcified boogers…..absolutely fabulous.

Good morning to everyone else!

Cleo Everytime I hear “hangtown fries”, I think of you! ROFLMAO!

Johnny yea, Sundays won’t be the same, will they? Maybe I should take up baseball and basketball to fill the void.. Watching, not playing, :-)

Lewreader Love your attittude towards dieting! Keep it up, man!

Dry, I do watch baseball. It is my favorite sport, and when I am home, I usually have enough room, and can find enough people to play.

johnny Yes, I would sooner play baseball than watch it, sometimes, most times, it’s slow to watch but fun if you’re there in person. Just doesn’t have the action of football. Now basketball I love to watch, esp. when my kid played.

Good Morning Dry & johnnyd.

peach you will see that we are a group of good folks. We stand up for one another and dislike deception. I have liked your avatars as I have always thought that I was meant to live in the tropics. What I am doing in the PNW I will never know.

Doc we can just blame it on our parents. LOL

Good Morning, All!

@Doc and Cleo Are you still living inthe area you grew up in?

For a while, the older I got, the farther South I seemed to move. I wouldn’t mind living back in my home area of mid-Ohio.

Good Morning celecca. I grew up in North Dakota and moved to WA just before my senior year of High School and have lived here and in Vancouver, BC. I also used to spend my winters first in the Florida Keys and then the Rio Grande Valley.

I think I’m a little jealous. But any place is home when I’m with hubby.

Good Morning Celecca & Johnny

Good morning, Lonewolf

I figured out why Facebook did not appeal to me. I thought it would be more like the Tribe.

So I’ve discovered, so I’ve discovered! And ain’t it grand!

Time for laundry, chores and a nap.

TTFN!

You said it all right there, Doc!

Dry, I am not really a fan of basketball. I don’t like how the NBA plays. Not really a team sport. I do enjoy playing basketball. If we are discussing weather, I will throw in a tidbit about Michigan: Those spring and summer mornings make it worth the miserable winters. Those winters make the rest of the seasons more special though. And being completely surrounded by lakes, the temperature never gets as extreme as other states.

Hello Everyone! It’s still chilly in FL and I’m getting really tired of it. I can’t believe tomorrow is February already.

Hello Tribe Pardon the shaky monitor as I try to warm up here. Temp’s in the 30’s, warmer than this morning but still too &(&*&(^ cold IMHO.

I was making poached apples in a cinnamon syrup sauce, and my good old reliable stove went from simmer to boil in 60 seconds. I have poached mush. I’m proceeding on, it may still taste good, but I sure would lose points on presentation….unless I finish the job and make it poached applesauce in cinnamon syrup sauce……

Still trying to clean the living room. Where does time go? Well there was the 1.5 hr snoozle yesterday afternoon….I guess that eats up time. And when I woke I did my preparatory routine for the Dragon (owner/friend is allergic to cats, so I try and shower on Saturday afternoons as the cat has been on my lap most of the morning),

Got to finish my tour of Go Comics while picking up here and there. I used to be able to go charge right through it, but no more. ‘What a drag it is getting old’.

That’s funny I made a comment about 20 minutes ago and it has disappeared. Maybe I have already passed on an my mind just hasn’t figured it out yet.

Cleo, that has been happening to me to. Did you have another window open and leave BT thinking the post had saved? I thouhgt maybe that was my problem so I wiat until my post is on my screen where it should me.

That’s happened to me too and it was because I forgot to hit “post.”

Hello Carmy & Quaby!

Hi Terry

Dry & Carmy I probably did something exactly like you two did.

Good afternoon, tribe.

Well, we got our snow. See pic to the left. Spent the morning shoveling the drive behind my car and the sidewalk. Didn’t worry about the drive behind Mom’s car as she refuses to leave the house until it all melts. I measured 6 inches in the back yard. Would have been more, but we had some sleet in there too.

Getting some melting with sunshine today, but supposed to get down in the teens tonight, so expect BAD things tomorrow.

There, there, cleo. Just pound down another Bookers or six and it will allllll be just fine!!!

WHOO HOO! We’re up to 32 with sun!

Hello Saucy & JFri

Saucy Looks like your dog enjoys the snow! My one dog, Gallagher, used to get on his belly and crawl through it! Gee, I miss him and his “bro” too!

Saucy cute dog you have there.

JFri, alright but I will have to wait. We are going to Edison this afternoon. There is a tavern there that has a band playing starting at 5:30 so we will get there early to try and get a table and have dinner. That is about the starting time for me and bands these days. The older I get the earlier I get up and go to bed.

Cleo Just in time for the “early bird specials” for Seniors! ROFLMAO!!!

good afternoon, Tribe. current temp in the GTA is around 23F with flurries (can i say that, Dry?) but no accumulation. glad Saucy is happy with her weather, but i hope she’s careful tomorrow (and i’m sure she will be). as for hometowns, i still live in mine. i was born within 10 miles of my current address and, except for 3 years away for school, have lived in the same county ever since. however, as i told my nephew who lives in NYC, home isn’t always where you’re from, nor is it always where you’re at. sometimes it’s who you’re with.

and Quaby? i would gladly partake of the poached applesauce mush with cinnamon syruo sauce and to hang with the presentation! for me, food is all in how it tastes, not how it looks.

Hey, it could have been worse. At least it’s vaguely masculine. It could have been shaped like barney or a fairy.

Hello Yguy & TimeTraveler

hey Terry how you feeling today?

YGuy–I agree that it’s who your with many times!

Yguy, I need to call the doc tomorrow as the anti-biotics didn’t help. The cold or whatever is the same.

Dry the place we are going for are noted for their oysters. The band is called the Bow Diddlers, a play on both the musician and the town of Bow nearby.

for some folks it’s kind of like in the M.A.S.H. episode where Hawkeye tells Radar that he takes a little piece of Iowa with him where ever he goes. i think i’m a bit like that when i travel - i’m still me, just exploring new surroundings.

OYSTERS, OYSTERS, DID SOMEONE SAY OYSTERS? I’M THERE ALREADY!

@cleo do they play the “good time music with the Bo Diddley beat?”

yyyguy, I really love being on the road exploring places. I sold my RV this summer, but that was great because your home was always there with you. We lived in it all winter.

Hi Yguy! Time Traveler, I’ve seen you around the boards but never here. Hi!

yyyguy, I will have to let you know. The friends we are going with love them, but I have never seen them play before.

Hello

Okay so: Play nice! - I be good! No Politics - Great, politics make me feel stupid! No Religion - Cool, religious lectures scare me! If first make breakfast - Okay, am I allowed to serve pizza?

WEATHER: 49 degrees and gloomy enough to make Eeyore happy

Sounds like you’re going to be a lot of fun LuvH8.

LuvH8, if it’s food, we’ll eat it.

Oh and Rob, I love today’s strip! Forgot to mention that this am.

And yes, LuvH8, pizza is always a favorite!! :^)

especially COLD pizza! welcome LuvH8, (i wonder how we’ll wind up shortening THAT moniker. probably won’t as it’s pretty short to start with.)

and i missed the “hi” to Time Traveller. (thanks for reminding me Dry.

It’s 5:30 and it’s still light out!

LuvH8 welcome, I have seen you around the strips lately.

Thank you all!

And I was thinking maybe if you want to shorten my name I could be L8. I usually am anyway.

Maybe I’ll make you my infamous alphabet/symbol pancakes someday. Warning though some of them turn out looking like male body parts and I serve them with the option of whip cream.

5:45 in the darkness, here!

last post was a reply to Dry spring is getting closer, slowly but surely.

slowly but surely, yguy, but with that also means we’re older than we were in Nov., Dec. and so on! Can’t win for losing, eh?

Hello Lonewolf, Dry, yyyguy, and cleokaya

Geesh! I’ll have to take notes just to know who all to list. But at least I won’t have to worry too much about my spelling since there is a rule to play nice.

5:53 here, you can see outside, but I wouldn’t consider it light still. Twilight maybe?

*L8*, I often have to take notes as well.

Ah yes, the one problem with two letter names is they often don’t bold well. of course with your avatar, your arrival does not bold well either. LOL

Yes, I learned to read the names instead of just the avatars, since people change those.

You are on a site where most everyone here changes their avatars on a regular basis, for one reason or another.

Oh, so that’s why I sometimes don’t do bold well.

cleokaya - I’m a happy grim reaper!

I know my avatar and my name are both oxymorons.

Hello LuvH8 If you’re first, check the Big Top pantry. I’ve been known to leave Krispy Kreams there, especially on Friday and Saturday nights.

The poached applesauce turned out very good. I’ve left some in the Big Top fridge, help yourselves. Some vanilla ice cream to go on top just because.

I’ll be leaving for the back pretty soon. Didn’t sleep that much last night…some my fault, some Welbutren’s fault. After watching Demons at midnight I just had to watch SyFy’s ‘Meteor Store’, Like they’re niever going to show it again…..

But in a month or two my ‘puter should be out of the living room and in my room. I’ll be able to have it on until I do go to bed. Who knows, maybe I’ll even make a turnover on Friday night and serve breakfast. Until then….

Peace and love to all

hey johnny it’s dark here now, but it’s 6 pm. I’m glad it won’t be dark out anymore when I leave work. That only lasts for a short time, but it is SO depressing. Now if it was dark and 80 degrees, I wouldn’t mind!

See you Quaby.

LuvH8 are you male or female?

Dry It has been nice having the daylight stick around longer. It makes it feel like I am not living in a cave anymore and we have a house that lets in a lot of light.

Ooooh! I love Krispy Kreams!

I usually only indulge when a new book comes out by Janet Evanovich. They’re always eating donuts, and I end up eating 6-8.

TTFN Quaby

tonight’s forecast, “Dark. continued Dark overnight. changing to widely scattered Light by morning.”

R.I.P. George Carlin

George Carlin was one of the best. I too miss his humor.

Gotta go! Bye everyone!

Now it is full blown dark! Yeesh, I can’t see a blasted thing!

JDoc you are allowed to turn on a lamp.

I never really saw Carlin’s stand up, only saw him play small roles in comedies. Speaking of comedies, has anyone ever heard of Mystery Science Theatre 3000? Think I might go watch that right now…

never seen more than a trailer or a few clips, but it’s reputed to be very funny. it never made it up to Canada that i’m aware of, but was very popular on one of the science fiction tv channels in the usa. as for George, i saw him on the Ed Sullivan show, and on later tv shows as well. one of his bits i remember from the Tonight Show had him making “phone ringing” sounds to begin and positing that phones “rang” because they were invented by Alexander Graham Bell. he then began to speculate on how the phone would be had it been invented by a man named Alexander Graham Siren. incomparable!

Johnny never heard of that one, and you should check out some of Carlin’s stand up, also Cheech and Chong if you haven’t.

*Anybody, esp. we Catholics, remember Cheech and Chong’s bit about Sister Mary “Elephant”?

Hi, tribe! Welcome, L8! It’s cold here - I don’t think it got above freezing today. We’ve still got snow on the ground. My hubby decided he was going to teach our 20 year old some “finer techniques of driving” - in other words, quick 180 degree turns using the parking brake, while I started dinner. Low & behold, I had to drive the van to where they had gotten off the road, and pull them out. (Still in our development, so not far, and no traffic.) Do males ever grow up?

Yguy one of my ALL TIME FAVORITES IS RED GREEN! I was so sorry he ended that show! Our PBS station ran it, still does, every week.

i remember it very well, Dry also “let’s make a dope deal” and “Dave’s not here” among many others. “”Alice Bowie” comes to mind as well.

class… class… class…

SHUT UP!

See you LuvH8.

johnnyd when I had a TV I used to occasionally watch Mystery Science Theater 3000.

I got to see Cheech and Chong in Vancouver before they hit it big and they were terrific.

Dry Red is another classic! our comedy network (love their slogan - “Time Well Wasted”) runs it daily. Rmom speaking as a male, i’d have to answer your question with a resounding, “NO!”

Rmom, to answer your question. No.

Cleo I told you before I liked your avatar, but this one just SO SUITS YOU! Speaking of males and females, first I thought Saucy was female, then I decided Saucy was male, and now that you called Saucy a she, I’m not sure.

Saucy are you male or female, if I may ask.

cleo i am officially envious of you, sir. i only ever heard them on record. saw a couple of their movies but didn’t find them quite so funny as the albums were.

I saw Cheech and Chong in the super 70’s, I was right in front of the stage, they were hilarious.

Hello Everyone!

YGuy ROFLMAO! I need to track some of those Cheech and Chong skits down, I only ever heard them on tape, (dating myself again) I may have seen them on TV once, but can’t recall. Class, class, priceless!

Geez Dry, if Saucy is a male I have really been a noodge. All along I have assumed female and only because of the name.

Are you guys familiar with Firesign Theatre?

Of course Cleokaya doesn’t really sound like a guy does it? LOL

Howdy Carmy. How are you today in sunny Florida?

Hi Tribe!

Just time for a few posts before it’s back to work. for me.

home but doing hw so ill be gone bbl

Carmy, lucky you! Seeing Cheech and Chong!

Cleo, I always thought you were a guy, even before I got to know you close to a year ago now. Gee, time flys when you’re having fun, doesn’t it?

*Hi Shika!

Cleo, FL was not sunny today. Right now it’s 46F and it feels colder than that. Hi Shika and Tabby

Well, I guess my hopes are dashed… I was SO tempted to let one of them walk back to get the van, but seeing as my hubby usually helps cook dinner, I decided I’d be nice.

Hello Shika & Tabby.

Dry that’s because I am always making dirty old man comments. snerk

hi’s to Shika, Tabby, & Carmy cleo i was pretty sure saucy was a female type person, but i could well be wrong. (not that THAT would be anything new…)

I have an album of Cheech and Chong, It’s the one where in a car and when you pull out the sleeve, there’s reefer hid inside the doors, etc.

Well, I think I am going to run over to my friends place and watch MST3K, which is pretty funny I think. I don’t really watch Cheech and Chong, but I might give them a try. I do like Red Green, though. That show is hilarious! bbl

Gee Carmy that’s the same temp as here.

“naah, they don’t give you the dope, man. they just give you the paper to roll it in.” they used the bit in one of their movies that i watched in the theatre (i think it was their first one, but it might have been ‘up in smoke’ that i’m thinking of).

enjoy the show JDoc i’m going to be gone for 15 to 20 minutes while i do the Sunday Newsweek Crossword on another tab. BBS

Shika what have you been up to?

I wonder if we should ask newcomers to state whether they are male of female right from the first. I can’t remember who it was now, but I kept referring to someone as a male until I was finally apprised of the fact that he was a she.

Or was it the other way around?

I get so confused.

Welcome to the newcomers. I’m glad to get your name straightened out Pearland Peach. I always thought that it was Pearl and Peach.

Is Pearland a place in the States?

Shika - Sometimes I think I spend half my life confused, and it is only getting worse as I get older.

Hello Shika, Tabby & everyone else that is still here.

James and I were messing around with XBox 360 and some Wii fitness. Kid wears me out!

cleo I’ve been at church most of the day. I won’t tell you what I was doing there, because of the no religion rule.

Tonight, I shall attempt to read two long passages, form two tutorial questions that need to be emailed tonight, and inbetween times, I hope to bake a date and nut loaf for the first time.

My weekend just flew by, and I’ve been wanting to bake this for a few weeks. I’ve never done it before.

There is a Pearland, TX. I thought that it was pearl and peach as well. But pearland peach makes perfect sense.

For Christmas I took a Date and nut loaf and converted it to a cranberry and nut loaf. It was good.

I’d stay, but I must Shika through here…

Another source of expert advice, including all sorts of formatting tricks, is this Style Guide, and the other large group that chats and hangs out over at Pibgorn–by the way, if you discover any new tricks, drop a note, and it can be added to the page…

”Oh, he did forget one rule, first poster makes breakfast for all who follow after!

Maybe that’s not so much a rule as a protocol?

A protocol that I have broken at least twice.

LOL cleo I am making a cranberry nut loaf as well1 But the recipe is for date and nuts. Great minds think alike.

I find dates too sweet sometimes.

I was already to bake two weeks ago, and discovered I didn’t have any baking powder, flour or baking soda. Did I mention I hardly ever bake?

But I have all the ingredients now, so I think I am ready to roll.

Hi bmonk! How does one Shika through? Like I do? Zip in and out?

well, i’m back again (for now). @Terry kids are supposed to wear out their elders. how else are we to know we aren’t in the shape we once were?

Terry - I decided my firstborn sucked all my energy out of me while I was pregnant with him. I used to have all sorts of energy, and then when I got pregnant, the first sign was a sudden loss of energy. He’s been energetic ever since! (The picture of him on the scale had his arms & legs a blur, because he wouldn’t lie still.)

Shika Every time that I bake if I am low on an ingredient I put it immediately onto our shopping list. Same thing when I make granola. I have a horrible memory.

I think that making breakfast here is the law, isn’t it??

Hello Rmom, good to see you lady!

I stepped away and the comments grew by leaps and bounds. You bunch of Yappy Nuts!

cleo I do the same with making a list. But sometimes I forget to bring the list. Other times I bring the list but forget to check it. I think I am hopelessly lost here.

Shika, you definitely own the patent on that “Shika Move”!

I went into a grocery store and forgot my list in the car. There were 3 items on the list. I went back to retrieve it because I could only remember 2.

Hi Carmy Yes, we are Yappy nuts! Speaking of which, I have a nutty loaf to bake and questions to make.

See ya later, alligator! (In a while, crocodile)

Happy Baking, Shika!

Terry I think maybe I do. I don’t know any other way to be!

Bye Shika!

Thanks, Terry! It looks like my time here is going to be pretty scarce starting tomorrow. They’ve made me an offer on Mom’s house that meets the conditions. So, as soon as I can get the younger son’s schoolwork to the point he can carry on without me, I’ll have to dash in and work on Mom’s stuff each day. One of the conditions is to have closing in 60 days, instead of 30, so we’ll have more time to get it cleaned out.

cleo I would have bought three items. None of them right!

Shika gone!

Cleo, I make grocery lists and also “To Do” lists. I already have my to-do list for tomorrow and it keeps getting longer as I remember what I need to do.

My wife has to do lists. I try to stay far away from them. LOL

Speaking of grocery lists: I know this has been around, in Fact I think someone here sent me this, but anyway, it’s 7 1/2 minutes long, but it’s HILARIOUS! I may even have posted it once, don’t remember

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-YFRUSTiFUs

Well, we are off to the Old Edison Inn for dinner and music. Have a good evening and hopefully I can check back in on my return.

Peace and Love

I DID IT!!!!!!!!!!!!

“THIS CERTIFIES THAT (MY NAME) HAS COMPLETED MASTERY OF CHAPTER ONE REVIEW” MATH PEOPLE MATH I HATE MATH

Cleo EAT SOME OYSTERS FOR ME!

i’m a single guy with a quirky memory. it seems that as long as i write the note, i remember what it was about. i often forget the notes i write, not so much the items on them. i also shop with the philosophy that, if i forgot it, it couldn’t have been overly important. (and i usually have a supply of things that are important that gets replenished before it gets used up to allow for my memory lapses.) probably wouldn’t work near as well if i wasn’t my only responsibility. besides, it’s fun to shop for Christmas presents at the last minute!

congrats, Tabby but always remember: Math is your friend! (well arithmetic is your friend, anyway!)

lol yguy thanks

now to write an essay. yuck. to tired fo all of this

well Tribe i’ve toured all my toons, puzzled out all my puzzles, and was friendly with my friends, but my time here for today is gone. time to get some supper in me and do some laundry (and maybe a bit of TV since Nature and Mythbusters are on tonight). After that, back to my usual working week. Stay well, and stay happy, (and stay safe - for those in snowy/icy areas). back tomorrow, God willing and the creek don’t rise!

gone

Take it easy Yguy

Dry, I’ve seen that clip before, but it’s still hilarious! ROFL!

To clear things up, I am female.

The name was borrowed from my pet at the time. She stepped on her rainbow in 2007, but will likely live a long time in screen names. The little lady pictured is Moxie who came along a few weeks later in 2007. She is an SPCA special advertised as a chow mix. If there is any chow in her, I expect it is a small amount as she looks like a golden.

Saucy I knew Saucy was your pet, that I remember, and yes Moxie definately looks like a Golden. Pretty dog!

Thank you, Dry.

”Yyyguy, See ya’ when I see ‘ya! (Not if I see you first!)

wrighters block!!!!! that means time to stop and eat. yummy chip sandwich for me!

Hi, Tabby!! How goes it??

Hey Tabby and JFri!

Hi JFri, Dry & Tabby

Hi empty room!

Where’d everybody go? Outside of a couple that is!

I know I put deodorant on when I took my shower today.

Room isn’t quite so empty now. Hi Terry!

Hi Johnny!

What have you been up to this evening?

Not homework, I went and to hang out with some friends. This might come back to haunt me, I think.

I’m sure you’ll handle it well. You seem to have your schtuff pretty well together.

sorry i ran off to do my hw. done now was going to go to bed at 10 but insted im watching a movie with dad its looking good so far. it goes of at 12 so ill be up till then at least. lol no body tell my tribe moms

At least your doing your homework Tabby. Terry, most of my homework is reading, which isn’t too terrible, but it is boring, and I am a very slow reader. So I fall behind in that regard.

Johnny, I have a hard time reading unless it is something I am really interested in like military memoirs and such.

Tabby, I’m not saying a word about it unless you do.

Tsk tsk, Tabby!

Well, I think my conscience has gotten the better of me. Time to do some homework, and then bed. Peace and love all!

Good Night Johnny

Good idea, Johnny! Good Night

Hanging out with your Dad, Tabby! Sorry Carmy, gotta disagree on this one! That’s nice Tabby! Enjoy it!

And with that, Good night Tribe! Peace and Love!

Dry, I didn’t realize she was hanging with the Dad and that she got her HW done. Sorry, Tabby, I jumped the gun. Goodnight Dry!

I’m out of here also. Long day tomorrow, no doubt.

Good Night Carmy, Tabby, Dry & JFri!

Good night All

Peace & Love Tribe Friends!

Dry thouhgt you would be happy, 3rd movie we watch today together. wow can you say wow!

Good Night!

Still no baking :-(

Too much HW. Maybe tomorrow..

its a hard thing to watch

@Carmy, thanks. Often I wonder if I only get halfway to being witty…

And, ((((Tabby)))). (I’m just glad I’m not watching…)

Goodnight Shika! You had to get your homework done, that was more important. Hopefully you can bake tomorrow or later this week.

bmonk thanks buddy

carmy how was your weekend?

Mom didn’t make pasta on the kitchen table–we were German descent, not Italian–but she did make strudel there.

The trick is to have a nice warm room and pull it paper thin. Helps to have 3 or 4 good pullers along to do it right.

And then, if you’re my mom, you make potato knepfle soup with the thick edges as the knepfle (mini-dumplings).

Tabby, the weekend was okay. It was quiet and I was able to take some good naps. How about your weekend?

Were you a good puller, bmonk?

Not so much in those days, but I’m better now.

I was a good eater, both then and now.

@Terry, I do remember WFLD ch.32 Chicago–It was one of the older UHF channels. And an early Fox station. Mostly cartoons in those days–at least that’s what I remember.

My Mom and her 2 sisters would get together and make dozens of tamales. They had like an assembly line going on there. Our freezer would be well stocked with delicious tamales. YUM!

Carmy, he’s good at pulling our legs!!!

Carmy,

i took some naps sat also

jfri,

i have not heard that expression in a while

I’ll pull any strudel dough you guys come up with.

Or crank the noodle machine, for that matter.

JFri, I’m LMBO!

Are there any bells on that leg?

I believe you, bmonk. JFri is just being a joker. He probably has bells on his joker hat, or those cute little turned up slippers. hee hee!

Candels on bay street. is what its called

Well, I had the best time tonight. Yehaw!

Carmy hehe those are some cute little shoes

@Carmy, that’s from what a English Cockney fellow I knew once used to say: “Pull the other one, mate! It’s got bells on it!”

ROFLMAO!

okay it made me cry. sniff

Caught up. I was reading all these comments that I thought were from JFri and they end up being from Carmy. The coloring and general outline of your new avatar fooled me in to thinking JFri (as Frankenstein) was posting. That will teach me to speed read.

Doc by unanimous vote we decided that you are taking us all out to breakfast. Notice that I didn’t say you were cooking us food.

@DocT, is that a albino squirrel taking over?

Cleo, this is my Valentine avatar. Isn’t it sweet? It’s from “Nightmare before Christmas.” Hey (((((Doc))))) it’s going to take some time getting your sleep back on schedule, but it will happen. I’m getting ready to go sleepers. No turnover for me. bmonk, your friend sounds like a jolly, good chap!

Only man would invent a way to make life miserable. Why should we need money for anything. No other creature makes life so complicated.

Roy (the Cockney Englishman) was a jolly good chap. Unfortunately, he had a classic Catch 22:

He could get a clergy visa and join us–but he had to be in the order for two years first.

The only way to join the order for two years was to get a visa.

Goodnight Y’all!

hey (((((DOC))))))) i missed you buddy. love to all

Carmy anything from Nightmare Before Christmas is Great. I am about to switch to my Valentine’s Day avatar.

calling it a night as well. night to all

Anyone for a Bookers?? Anyone??
