Carmy I SLAVED AND SLAVED IN THIS bleeep CIRCUS TENT TO GET BREAKFAST READY! THE ONLY WAY ANYONE LEAVES HERE TONIGHT/THIS MORNING, IS IF THEY CAN GET PAST THE FIVE MACHETES YOU LOANED TO ME, GIRL!

GET YOUR BUTTS ROUND HERE AND GET SOME GRUB!

Sheesh, calm down Dry! I’ll save my road trip for another day. :-P

Good Morning Tribe

I know Pete, I’d rather challenge Mt Everest, too! Very telling expression Stucco!

May I have some Eggs sunnyside up with buttered toast and some strawberry milk, please and thank you.

Hey! Where did you get 5 machetes?

Carmy “Hey! Where did you get 5 machetes?”

HMMM? I WONDER? BOUGHT THEM FROM A STREET VENDOR?

Now that I think about it, it wasa very sweet lady who at the time was beating up on about 4 Pinata’s at one time, yelling something in Spanish and wailing around the same type of machete I am in possession of!

Hmph! I know I had 2 of them, I’m going to check to see if they where they’re supposed to be.

Well if they aren’t, “I know nuthing, I see nuthing, I hear nuthing! * Ask Sgt. Schultz, he’ll know!**

‘Morning, You Three! great breakfast, Dry. I’ll have the eggs and toast, Irish breakfast tea, and a sticky bun for each hand.

Marg how about two sticky buns for each hand?

’Morning Marg!

Dry, a sweet lady, beating up 4 pinatas and speaking Spanish? Was it me?

’Morning grandmatippytoes! Dry, you know, there are ways to make you talk. I’m sure JFri would help me find the right one, heh heh heh.

Good Morning & Good night Grandmatippytoes!

’Morning JFri!

The chef is leaving the tent! All ye who enter, everything is on the heated buffet table. Just in case Doc shows up, make sure he doesn’t go near the big white square thing in the kitchen of which he has no knowledge of! And I don’t mean the refrigerator! ROFLMAO!

Goodnight all!

Goodnight, Dry, and

Goodnight Dry! Thanks for breakfast. We’ll get you next time, my pretty, and your little dog too!

Goodnight Marg!

Good Night Marg! Sleep well.

Carmy, jawohl!! Ve haff vays to make her talk!!!

JFri, we’ll get her next time. I reread the comments and discovered she was singing like a canary from the get go.

Woops!! Looks Like I may have over-napped again. You still there, JFri & Lonewolf?

Hello BC13, still hanging, but almost done with the toon tour.

Hello, Lonewolf I think I over-OD’d on STNG and Red Dwarf. and napped a little later than I planned..

BC13

Hey, the comics don’t go anywhere………..no worries, man.

What is STNG?

Hello everyone!

Too tired for toons, plus I think I am going to start waiting to comment on Birdbrains from now on until others explain.

Star Trek, the Next Generation, LuvH8

Oh, and good morning, LuvH8!!

Good Morning BC13!!

Well, I’ve made my rounds, but I’ll stick around long eough to watch the rest of the Flintstones and tehn head back to the sack.

Good morning DRY. Breakfast sounds delish, but could I push it a little to the side and take a little nappy on the heated buffet table?

Morning TRIBE! My bathroom scale is still broken and over weighing.

Good Sunday Morning, Doctor Toon

Doc T Are you feeling mischeivious this morning?

Good Morning Everyone!

It’s a beautiful day in the neighborhood!

Morning LuvH8 Yesterday was a beautiful day in my neighborhood. Today: A gloomy start to the day and a strong chance of T-storms later on.

Good Morning all. Change the tape! Change the tape!

Morning, Cleo

Good Morning BC13 & Cleokaya!

I just read the strip can anyone explain it?

We have blue skies again! And more daffodils blooming!

I agree with Doc T, he is a doctor after all!

Doc T is being an influence! I might have to tell GmaTipToe on you!

LuvH8 I can now understand why he wants to change the tape back.

It’s a FOX New channel talk show. O’Rielly often discusses current controlversial political and social issues.

BC13 What the………? Don’t scare people like that!

LuvH8 I didn’t want to know that, but you made me look it up.

BC13 I had already followed the link, I come back and you’ve said another scary thing!

LuvH8 The link didn’t fully take, so I replaced it with what I read about it.

Not to worry about the cookie….I try to stay away from them.

Another sunny day in the PNW, although a wee bit chilly to start with. Doc, I can just picture you and GrandmaT sitting in separate rooms both hunkered over the computer here at Big Top.

You sent me to read an article about articles!

Okay, um….. No Star Trek 4 u!!

Oh! Sorry about that you can watch Star Trek and have cookies if you want. We keep cross posting I didn’t realize you had sacrificed yourself for me. Thank you! You are very kind!

Morning Doc, BC13, Cleo nad Lewreader..

Lewreader I usually don’t allow people to sleep on my buffet table, but I will make an exception for you since you seem so sleppy today!

Doc I love thunder storms so you can send those my way anytime.!

LuvH I have everything but DS9 on DVD. I can watch it any time I want - even now. But as it turns out I’m watching Citizen Kane on TCM.

In all fairness, you were a little too quick to go to the link, because I tried to removed it as soon as I found out it didn’t take

If it get’s any darker here, I’m going to have to turn on the lights. It’s already started to rain.

Morning, Dry & cleo!!

Good Morning JFri. Are you having a nice weekend?

cleo, yes, weatherwise and otherwise! It is a great weekend! I was cruising around town with the windows down and the Beach Boys blaring on the CD yesterday.

Good Morning/Afternoon Tribe

Hello Cleo, Doc, BC13, LuvH8, Lewreader & All

Good morning, Lonewolf

How’d it go this morning?

BC13 It was fantastic! Of course I am being prejudice. :^)

Thanks for asking.

Doc

Grandmatippytoes sounds like a lot of fun!

Sheesh, did I goof that up!

We all know you like it Doc. Most like the attention to a certain degree.

Lonewolf Glad to hear it.

I’m working on that 4-letter word that no one wants to hear about. At least I’m getting a refund.

Good movie alert. The Ghost and Mrs. Muir just started on FMC.

James & I are heavily outnumbered between Wolfangil’s family and mine as the rest of the men have passed on. It’s six against two here! But we have fun with it.

Good movie BC13!

What time does the USA/Canada hockey game start?

I’m not sure Lonewolf. It’s not showing up in my guide. NBC’s coverage appears to be on skating and bobsled. I have no doubt they’ll be seeing the hockey game in Canada.

I’m checking out ESPN now to see if they show the time.

It’s not on ESPN either.

Maybe it’s on FOXSportsnet - but I don’t get that any more.

No, I meant I am checking on ESPN on the internet to see what time it is on.

The hockey game is on at 2:00PM CST and it is supposed to be on NBC. I hope it is on in this area.

In my DirecTV guide it says the game is between Russia vs Czech Republic among other events. I guess I’ll have to check in to see.

I just checked my cable line-up on line and it is being shown on NBC.

Our paper says the US/Canada game will be on here at 4:40 PM.

Hello Cleo. Heh, heh. I’d better just keep an eye on NBC today.

I find it odd that they’re not going to show the game down here, but that’s probably typical for us Southernuhs.

Doc, I have been in that position before and I am hoping I can obtain those working hours with the government position I get.

Doc, I understand that. But for the big picture, I’d rather have the days off. I was always able to get more errands done during the day. Besides, you can tape anything you want now a days!

And it is usually a little more relaxed with night hours.

What are you up to today, Cleo?

I’d find it hard to sleep during the day. I sometimes have a hard enough time at night.

Terry, I think that we are going to hike down to Clayton Beach today. It has been gorgeous this week and once the morning chill is gone it is quite pleasant outdoors.

I just finished electrinically filing my bleeep!

Doc I didn’t notice that, but I did notice that a couple strips were not updated.

Sounds like an enjoyable day, Cleo.

I also must thank you for those suggestions of Mt Baker & Mt Shuksan. I have downloaded many pictures. It is such a beautiful area.

Terry there are some stunning hikes up in the area of those two mountains as well, where you can walk in flowered meadows on the top of mountain ridges and plenty of alpine likes to skinny dip in.

I find it hard to sleep on any sort of schedule.

Doc T This morning I was right behind you on some of the comics and just felt like saying:

I agree with Doc T, he is a doctor after all!

I did it a couple of times, it might be fun to just follow you one day and do that. I stopped doing the comics because I was starting to be an example again.

BTW I would like to watch Curling(?) just to check it out if someone lets me know when it is going to be on I would like that.

The Mount Baker Ski Area has a natural half pipe and we just had the legendary banked slalom which brings the world’s best competitors. The classic “Call Of The Wild” with Clark Gable and Loretta Young was filmed there.

Cleo, Sounds like a lot of fun. I have always liked taking hikes in areas similar to your description. Some that have bicycle trails are enjoyable also as long as they are not too high. Puff, puff.

Good movie(Call of The Wild). I did not know it was filmed there. Cool!

What’s cool is watching the movie 70 years after it was made and seeing that some of the locations still look like they did then.

It is surprising that certain things irk the Powers That Be and other things don’t. Oh well…………………………..

Okay, I be careful. I think I only said it maybe 3 times anyway. Gee I wish they would make that list of acceptable and unacceptable GoComics behavior clear and easily available because I just can’t figure it out on my own.

Oh flopping fishes! I must go or I will be late picking up Monkey 2.

Have a Good Day Everyone! (By the way if you noticed anything specific GoComics considers unacceptable I would appreciate the info.)

Have a good one Doctor Toon. Now that my movie’s over and I’m done with my bleeep, I think I might take a nap once I’ve reviewed the comments thus far.

Catch you later Doc.

im a away from the computer…. the fun at this time. till i am finished my essay that i have not started yet. i shall return some time, if it dosent kill me first.

The Russia/Czech hockey game is on now. The USA/Canada game is on at 6:40PM. I went to the Official 2010 Olympic site. Should have done that in the first place!

Both hockey games should be quite exciting if they play out as expected.

So far the Russia/Czech game is end to end action. It is exciting so far.

Happy Sunday, tribe.

Is it me or do weekends seem to go faster than ever?

Saucy hello. For me it’s not just the weekends. It seems as if I am rapidly speeding towards old age.

I am off for a bike ride.

BOY, everybody must be enjoying the Olympics. Two hours since my last post and not a soul under the Big Top.

Hi Cleo!

Hi, Cleo & Dry! Just finished dinner.

Hello Rmom

I’ve been watching the Olympics and messin’ with my kid today.

Nice day here today, and yesterday as well. 40’s this time of year is like summer! It’s all relative you know!

Hey Dry, it was a really nice day here too. I think we hit the 60’s.

Hi, Terry! If we had a TV that would receive, we might watch some of the Olympics, but I’m not rushing out to buy a flat screen just for that reason. Is the Summer Olympics this year? What month?

We’ve had sleet & rain here - right around freezing.

I just checked, we’re getting thunderstorms tomorrow and the temps will be in the 60’s.

Hi, Carmy!

Hi Rmom, I heard that folks around here have been seeing a lot of robins. I’m taking that as a good sign.

Carmy I love thunderstorms, guess I said that earlier. This time of year, the 40’s is very nice. Still a lot of snow on the ground, but it’s melting, in time for the next batch.

Dry, you all are still expecting more snow?

Carmy - I looked out my kitchen window this morning, and am just sure I am seeing buds on one of our maple trees. I think the redbud is also starting, but was harder to tell from that angle. Usually the blossoms on the redbud tree is the first sign of spring I see around here. I think I did see a robin yesterday, but we have birds all year long, and I didn’t get a real good look at it.

I’m going to be popping in & out for the next few hours. I’ve got a literature book I need to read, to know what stories to assign my son to read.

I saw a heron trying to feast on a catfish in our backyard. The heron was stabbing at the catfish with his beak.

The birds are singing here, that’s our first sign. One of my friends saw a couple of robins the other day.

Carmy wintry mix tmr. Which means rain and snow mixed, it’s supposed to be around 36 degrees.

Rmom the summer Olympics are not for another 2 years.

I just came in from sitting in the yard reading a book. I am in that phase I have every so often when I can not brin myself to read, so it felt good to be reading again.

Dry, 36 isn’t too bad. We know Spring is coming soon, but we can’t rush it.

Hi Cleo!

HI CLEO! I used to love to read. One of these days, I’ll get back to it.

The book that I’ve been reading is the Bible. I get Reader’s Digest and Good Housekeeping, so I read those too. I don’t think I can squeeze any extra reading in.

Hello Dry & Carmy.

Carmy we subscribe to so many magazines that they keep me busy, plus I pick magazines up at the bookmobile each week.

It appears that Steve Skelton’s wife has made an appearance at 2 Cows and a Chicken today and made quite a nice comment to the majority of his fans.

Cleo, the two I get keep me busy and sometimes I don’t even read them until I get the next month’s issues.

My favorite magazine is called “The Week” and I look forward to each Friday or Saturday for it’s arrival. Since we discovered it we have turned so many people on to it that it has been awesome just how many of our friends have gotten subscriptions to it.

Cleo, I went and saw her comment on 2 Cows, she told Joe to get a life, hee hee! I guess that might be because he is always harping on how the Cows are not anatomically correct, etc.

Unfortunately, I believe this is Joe’s life.

I know, but I do learn new things from some of his comments. He just needs to tone it down a bit.

Hi everyone just drpped in for a minute. too tired to hangout and Im not quite the SOCIAL BUTTERFLY Doc T is. I love to read, usually novels by Kay Hooper, Patrica Cornwall, James Patterson , DEAN koontz occasionally, etc n so on.. Too tired to stay awake, couldnt sleep at all last nite or 2d. I always have trouble sleeping but had to take pain meds [2 protect myself against Doc T] LOL meds make it hard 2 sleep. Maybe Ill catch you 2m. Wild Cheetah makin baked mac n cheese. yum. Have a wonderful wk and God Bless

I posted over there as well. I love that strip! I don’t mind Joe,. yes, he gets mean sometimes, but he is also very infomative and at times, quite humorous. And Doc’s philosophy is Peace and Love, right? We have others worse than Joe, but for some reason, he has become a target.

grandmatippytoes, I pray you are able to get some much needed sleep tonight. God Bless you, too!

You’re right, Dry! Some people complain that Joe rambles, but I’ve seen some ramble and babble nonsense to no end and no one complains about that. What’s up with that?

Hola Doc!

Doc, there’s people much worse than Joe around here. I just ignore them.

Good Evening Tribe.

Taking a break from the hockey game. Hi Doc.

Doc, I don’t think he’s “playing the victim.” He’s a lot older than some of us and he’s just from those times when people actually respected their elders and the elders were entitled to that respect. Sadly, there’s not much respect around these days.

Howdy Doc & Grandma T. I am about to have an early dinner, take care Toonsters.

I’m sure I’m not the only one who has sat with an older relative that just kept blab, blab, blabbing. Did we tell this person to shut up? No, we politely listened and we didn’t make fun of them (well, maybe not in front of them).

Lonewolf You’re getting the hockey game? I’m still getting skiing & figure skating. Bummer

Ice cream run, BBL.

BC13

The game is on MSNBC here on our cable line-up in Chicago.

Hi Cleo

Who’s winning?

Lonewolf Never mind. I have the channel. I just had to add it to my favorites.

Glad you got it BC13

Good Night Doc. Have a good evening.

Thanks for the info, Cleo. You know this household doesn’t follow sports. However, we do enjoy watching many of the Olympic performances. Guess I’ve got plenty of time to buy a flat screen before the Summer Olympics.

Gee, sorry I missed all that. I was taking out the garbage, literally! I have to agree with Carmy. As I have gotten older (gag) I have come to try really hard to look at things from another person’s perspective. I do try to walk in someone else’s shoes, sometimes it comes to where you can’t take it anymore and walk away. And I don’t really think Joe is as bad as Mark Trail or Wuz Two.

If it’s like my house, I have this vision of grandmatippietoes being on the computer, she leaves, and Doc is waiting in the rafters to jump on as soon as she leaves! :-D

Rmom, yes, you can take your time picking out that flat screen TV. LOL

Thanks, Terry! Maybe they’ll come down some more in price by then. Although, I am thinking of getting one this year, just to help make space for some of the furniture from Mom’s house.

Rmom How are you coming with the posting of the rest of your mom’s quilts. Wolfangil asked me about them. :^)

Terry - I took pictures of a couple quilts today. Let me get them downloaded, edited & posted. Hopefully I can get that done soon.

Carmy & Cleo This is my first time viewing 2 Cows & Chicken. Awesome artwork, but I to love the wife’s comment to old Joe.

No rush, Rmom, she was curious. She really liked the one on the bed.

Hey, hey BC13! Empty net goal. This has been a very exciting game for sure!

BC13, I started reading 2 Cows & a Chicken as soon as I noticed an ad from gocomics promoting it. That was some time ago, I have yet to go back to the beginning and read it from the start. When I began reading it, they were already on the their adventure. I did see where they buried the gold too.

BC13 you should keep reading 2 Cows. It is a hoot! You can go back and play catch up, if you have time! I love it! My favorites on here are Big Top, Overboard, CItiazen Dog, Red & Rover, Little Dog Lost, and of course 2 Cows. There are others, but I check those first thing with my coffee, usually makes me rush to get ready for work! LOL! Who said I was addicted, who? :-D

Back again you happy toonsters. I was trying to explain you all to a friend on the phone today and nothing I tried seemed helpful. I think you have to experience something like this to understand it.

I have loved comic strips since I was old enough to hold the Sunday Paper. That’s where I got started! Couldn’t read much back then, but I liked the pictures!

Dry, like I said yesterday (I think it was) I never remember a time when I didn’t have the funnies to read.

I liked to use Silly Putty on the Sunday comics, so fun!

Terry - No problem. I would have done more, but I need to hang them on a different wall so I can step back further. I also decided to mend & wash the navy blue double wedding ring quilt before I put it away. They are uploading now.

Carmy I never did that, but watched friends and their Silly Putty. I am so anal that I was afraid that I would ruin my Putty. :-)

Cleo, tsk tsk. So where’s your Silly Putty now? Still in the egg? They still sell it, but it’s not the same, IMHO.

If I still had my Silly Putty Carmy it would still be pristine and so would the egg. Do you recall how I still have my matchbox toys and their pristine original boxes, plus I played with them on a regular basis. I am still that way. If I get a scratch on something it ruins my day.

Movie time.

OMG!!!!! I forgot ALL ABOUT DOING THAT CARMY! LOL! OH YEAH!

Cleo, hope you see this! Felix Unger ring a bell LOL! I loved that show!

But I thought Felix Unger liked to wear clothes! snerk

Cleo, you’re as anal as one of my sisters, but I still love you anyway too! Enjoy your movie.

Terry - I’ve got the latest photos posted. If Wolfangil knows the name of the pattern with the title “unknown artist”, I’d appreciate it. I’ll have to take a better picture of the navy quilt later - after I rearrange some furniture.

Gotcha Rmom, I’m headed there now.

Hope to see you after the movie, Cleo.

Felix Unger nakey? Ack, where’s the eye wash?!

Terry & Wolfangil - I forgot to write down the name of the pattern for the one on the bed. Was it “Drunkard’s Path”? This getting old and forgetful is the pits!

Dry & Carmy When I first started coming to gocomics, comics.com and seattlepi it was to get all the favorites I used to get for years and years and ended up missing from my local paper in Montreal. The reason I started coming to this site in particular was for Calvin & Hobbes (even though I knew it was classic C&H, I needed my fix.). The other sites had all the others I needed. The numbers has grown considerably since

If I keep this up, I could be reading as many comics as Doctor Toon. But thanks to all of you, I am picking up on some good ones.

Lonewolf I know some disappointed friends back home who take their hockey very seriously. But I, too, just see it as a good game that I’m not sure Canada can recover from.

Rmom

Wolfangil knew as soon as she saw it. She says the pattern is called Churn Dash.

BC13

The Gocomics site can really get one addicted to comics.

I know Canada will recover from this game.

yyyguy, condolences! I know you’re as big a hockey fanatic as I am!!

Doc, this is for when you catch up later. I’m guessing my Mom is about Joe’s age and with that in mind, I can see how he is sometimes stating the obvious. Also, I know my Mom is very intelligent and if someone tries to say otherwise, her cackles will rise up too because it’s insulting. People from that generation are a lot closer to the senility age than we are. It hurts their feelings if we insinuate that they are already there and they will defend themselves, even though they shouldn’t have too.

Terry - Tell Wolfangil thanks! I do appreciate the help.

I’ve got to start getting ready for bed. Good night, Tribe!

No problem Rmom, she enjoys it so much. She said to tell you that you’re welcome. My mother is the one into crochet, but at her age she doesn’t really do it anymore. I think she wishes her hands moved well enough to do it, though. :^(

G’Night, Rmom!

Come on, BC13! Say it loud and say it proud, ”I’m a Toonaholic!”

How’s this Carmy???

That’s perfect, BC13!!!

Carmy The Web has opened all our eyes to more than just what’s in our local papers. I don’t think I’ve ever spent so much time on my computer. But to put a spin on an Alice Cooper song ”I want to be addicted!”

BC13, My first foray into internet comics was to look for Redeye, Tumbleweeds, and The Born Loser, which our local paper dropped! Well, it exploded from there! LOL!

JFri so Canada lost? Best hockey game I EVER SAW was USA and Russia! When was that, 1984?

Dry And I never heard of them until you brought it up. It’s funny how regional the papers can be. I noticed this the moment I moved to Edmonton. And then again when I moved to Dallas. By the time I moved to the Houston area, I struck gold on the web and didn’t even bother with the local paper.

BC13, I know what you mean. It’s amazing what you can find and see on the world wide net. Dry, I think it was, 1980?

Dry, I believe that game was in 1980. It was a terrific game. There have been a couple movies about it.

BC13

If I may ask, where are you from originally?

Hola JFri! I missed you earlier. One of the movies was “Miracle on Ice.”

Bring back BIG TOP!

Lonewolf Montreal The comics I saw on a daily basis that I loved were Hi & Lois, Beetle Bailey (I love Mort Walker), C&H, B.C., Broom Hilda, Adam @ Home, Wizard of Id, Hagar the Horible and Dilbert.

Dry, I had a crush on Jim Craig, the goalie on TEAM USA.

Who be you, looncreative?**

Yes I guess it was 1980! My, how time flies!

BC13, one of the reasons I signed up with gocomics was because of C&H, Pooch Cafe and Overboard.

BC13 When I was younger and played hockey in high school, I always wanted to go to Montreal and see a hockey game. Back then all the players in my high school thought that was the most exciting place for hockey!

Dry, Who be you, looncreative? LMBO! You’re supposed to say, Hark! Who goes there? (still laughing here)

It was Lonewolf. Been there and done that a few times and been to many Expo games (I was big on baseball)

A few years ago, I had to return home from Dallas to do an audit on a business the company was planning on acquiring. It was also a good chance to get back home to visit friends & family. The trip was in February and I spent the direct flight with a bunch of hyper kids going to my home town to play in a hockey tournament. My luck had me taking a return trip with the losers.

Hark, who goes there?

BC13 I still plan to get there one of these days.

Dry, neither way worked anyhow. I guess we’ll never know now either.

Lonewolf If you do, let me know and I will give you a couple eateries to check out (don’t know if you’ve been reading any comments with *yyyguy), but I’ve got some favorite foods and favorite places (aside from the Bell Center and the Big Owe). Maybe I can get you in touch with a very good buddy of mine still living in the area.

BC13 Thank you very much! I will definitely let you know when that happens.

To paraphrase Engineer Scott, “Tis a fine foggy night here in League City….

…and my mind’s beginning to fog over with fatigue. I think I shall call it a night.

Good Night Tribe

G’Night CB13. Good yapping with you!

Same here, Lonewolf

MSU alert!!!

BC13 I spent one evening and night in Montreal when I was 12. My aunt, mom, my aunt’s kids/my cousins and myself went on vacation. My aunt was the driver, we had a whirl wind tour! LOL! From there we went to Quebec City for a day and then on to Maine, spent the night in a little teeny tiny town surrounded by a forest, went through New England. My aunt LOVED the Kennedy’s. Most of our time was spent on Cape Cod! But when you’re 12, hey, it was an ADVENTURE! In more ways than one! And my dad had a fit because we went at all! LOL!

Dry That was seeing the country, but even at my age, the whole experience would be a blur.

Good night Seattle, Frazier has left the building.

Dry, if Carmy had driven you would have gotten there MUCH quicker!! SNERK!!!

*Yeah, but with my aunt, at least I saw something besides a continuous blur of, “What was that? Where are we now? Wasn’t that the Canadian border? Are we in New Hampshire now? ROFLMAO! You had to be there, but we had FUN!

BC13which reminds me of the Frasier episode where he, his dad, Niles, Daphne and Eddie drive into Canada in the motor home! I think that was one of their best episodes, and I LOVED FRASIER!

I don;t get the strip!!!

My bad.

Hi Shika! How are you today?

I’m fine Lonewolf Other than I don’t get today’s joke. That can upset a

It would appear that I missed a big game today, and we lost. I am sorry to hear that.

I haven’t read all the comments, so all I know is that Carmy is having eye problems after visioning Felix Unger nakey.

I tell you, life can be confusing under the BT.

Shikamoo See my commentary earlier today with LuvH8

I may as well stay up another hour and do the mid-night hour rounds.

Dry I saw that episode 2, but like that ‘70’s show, they seemed to have the check-points all wrong for the sake of the story. When you’re going to Canada you see Canadian Customs and when you’re going to the States you see U.S. customs. It would appear the writers never go anywhere on the other side of the border.

Hi JFri Why do I have this urge to call you John Wayne?

Hi Dry It sounds like you had a crazy but lovable Aunt. That was quit the trip to Canada and the States.

Anal is a good thing, right.

How y’all doin’, cleo, Shika & Tabby

P.S. i made it throught my essay it did not kill me only took me 4 hours to write it. :0( and he didnt like it. :0(

Hi (((((((((((TABBY)))))))))

Love ya, sis!

cleo What? Anal WHAT???

cleo, that kind of depends on your point of view, doesn’t it?? SNERK

Shika, I don’t know, Pilgrim!!

Hi Shika! BC13, that’s the same as they do it when you go to Mexico too. Hi Tabby! Cleo, right!

Tabby I finish one thing only to check my schedule to see that there are two more assignments due the next day after tomorrow, and so on………….

I have to start getting up reallly early again tomorrow, so I’d better get to bed. Reading Week is over, and the treadmill starts again.
