Thanks for the steak JFri!

‘Night Terry, Marg, and luvh8

Congrats on finishing your paper, Shika. Good Night.

Good Night Tribe.

Nice job, Shika!!

There you go, Marg!! Hope you enjoy it!

Good for you, Shika! Goodnight, all!

I’ll have my steak medium rare, with a coupla eggs broken over it, along with a side of bacon a home fries… sauteed onions and orange juice would be great on th’ side as well.

Nice to see that every1’s working up an appetite. Any views on today’s strip?

dillid28 I have recently started to read this strip for the first time so am not completely up on the storyline and characters, but my opinion on this strip is:

Well Blip You had to be nice!

Good morning and Happy Tuesday. JFri thanks for breakfast.

I feel really bad for Pete - I didn’t realize his parent left him there. Hope we learn more about that.

LuvH8, grits are a hot cereal made from corn. I used to add them to the breakfast on Fridays, but a little while ago the restaurant I got them from had to close down. Now this is my only source for them, but the Tribe makes a great bowl of them.

I will never eat again, there fore I shall not look at the opening comment of BT.However, sometimes the TRIBE fools me and prints the menu on comment 2 or 3. I see the menu and I think of my kitchen so close I can smell the nuc coffee burn. Do I have to quit BT and go to comments political and religious that make my stomach burn worse than the two day old coffee? Will I become like Ziggy and wear a mu-mu? Will virtual food replace the real thing in my diet and I’ll look like Twiggy?

For answers to these and other questions, send $4.95 to Madam Needabuck C/O this station.

Morning TRIBE. Please ignore these hunger induced hallucinations

Good Morning Tribe

Good Morning Akenta, LuvH8 & Lewreader

Welcome Haze & Dillid28

LuvH8–Look forward to seeing your posts in the future. Take care.

The snow is on the ground from last night and it is not supposed to stop until Wednesday at noon! And it’s blowing with the windy conditions!

Poor Pete!.He’s so cute!

@Lewreader, ” sometimes the TRIBE fools me and prints the menu on comment 2 or 3” and sometimes they post the menu on the wrong comic strip completely! LOL!, don’t they JFri?

Good Morning everyone and hello to our newcomer LuvH8. I’ve been a member at site for a year now. You’ll reconize my avatar being either transit buses or taxi cabs (and sometime trains). They are my favorites.

Good Morning, All!

I had no idea how Pete came to be with the circus. Sad, but seems to be what the circus needed.

I am not a Tribe member, but rest assured all new posters will be welcomed if you follow the Tribe rules:

Play nice and respect each other No politics or religion.

May I add one more - don’t take offense if your posts aren’t answered right away. I think it’s because the Tribe has such fun that all their fingers seem to be typing at the same time and their minds grab an idea and just go with it.

Some days I don’t even post because it’s more fun to just to read along.

May everyone have small, warm joys today and a minimum of itchy frustration.

caught up now need to get moving off to school i go i go bc i ….?????

bye

Good Morning all. Poor Pete.

Take care LuvH8.

Good Morning Doc & Cleo & All

Many things to do today again and it’s going to be slow traveling with the snowfall!

Have a good day Tribe. Peace & Love All.

Morning all. It’s nice to see everyone.

LuvH8 I hope you are not serious about not coming here or posting here anymore. I really enjoyed your comments and will miss you.

Lewreader I know how you feel, but they make everything sound so good, don’t they?

Good morning Tabby, Akenta, JFri, Dry, Lonewolf, Celecca, Josh, Dora D, Dillid 28, Haze, Marg, Shika, Cleo. And anyone I missed and anyone else coming in today. [pant pant. pant]

After all that I really need ice cream.

Good Morning Doc, serena & Terry.

Doc I hope that you are fairing well sir.

Any snowfall in your immediate future.

Good morning all.

Pete should have come back with a comment about chickenboy’s dad being henpecked…

Good Morning DFrog.

I have one hour to go before the house is once again invaded with painters and I do not mean Tribal painters either, you motley lot of insuffferable scalliwags.

They are dismissing schools early today and have already cancelled school for tmr. Looks like the office is going to be closed too.

Good Morning Dry, what a shame that you are snowed in.

Doc should we start calling Dry, Cuddles.

cleo I am cuddly! That was a good one! But it looked like a Sunday strip!

Morning Doc and Digital Froog

Doc it wasn’t me.

Doc one can be grabby and cuddly!

Hi Digital FROOG!;-D

Hi Serena

Cleo I may not be able to get out to help paint.

Good Morning, (((Tribe)))!

No time to read comments yet–Call me Shika!–but I had to post this for all you fuzzy animal lovers…

Dry sometimes bad weather is a good thing. Just stay nice and warm in your house and let my professionals handle the job.

Hello Happy Yappers! No snow here, but we should be getting some rain soon. It’s 59F and cloudy.

Hi Doc! Poor Pete! If I could, I would smack chicken boy across his beak.

a (very) brief good morning Tribe had to work right through the weekend (my poor arthritic knees won’t get any rest until Friday night) and have lots of toons to catch up on, but had to note bunnyface’s little gem. it will, indeed, be hard to use that statement against the perp. lol. onwards, and ever upwards!

LuvH8 you have to do what you think is best for you, but know that you’ve made a friend or two in this Tribe Carmy i, too would love to give chicken boy a smack, but Pete had to know something like that comment was a possibility. still doesn’t make it easy to take, though.

bye DocT, it’s time for me to go all ready. sorry folks.

Good Morning bunnyface, Carmy & yyyguy.

Wop wop wop wop wop……. This is Charlie 1 coming into the PA location to extract the stranded painter. We have her in sight on the roof top. Lowering the cable to bring her up. We will rendezvous at the Air National Guard base so she can catch her flight to WA. Wop wop wop wop wop……

LMBO, JFri! See you later, Doc!

Hi, DocT. Is that sound I hear cleo ripping out what little hair has left out???

Good afternoon all. Already had me breakfast and lunch, waiting on the next winter storm to start this evening. I sure could use a snow day from work so I can work at my “alternate worksite”. Got 30 inches of snow on Saturday, expecting another 8-20 tonight into tomorrow. Got some essentials at the Navy Exchange, salt for the walks and driveway, a bottle of Gentleman Jack for the man who shovels the walks and the driveway, and a bottle of wine for his lovely female accomplice. This snowstorm is supposed to put us over the top for the most snow on record for a winter. Great, fine, wonderful, as long as I get the day off tomorrow!!!

And despite the fact that I’m in Philly, I still say to my home NFL team forever WHODAT!!!!!

(rip) ouch (rip) Ouch (rip) #OUCH!!!

cleo, we’re here to do the painting!! cleo? hellooooo??

Ooooooooooo, BOOKERS!!! Just what we need to get started!!

Good Afternoon Tribe.

Back for a short break from driving in this snow. It is rough trying to get around to get things done. It is definitely taxing.

Shika!! I TOLD you everything BUT the floor covering!! AND the windows……too late! SIGH

I am so here and you are not. JFri has been into the Booker’s again. Whose house is he vandalizing this time?

Well, I’m going to try this again. Catch you all later!

Hibye Terry.

The biggest part of that job is over! WOOHOO!!!

(Wow, Dry, these disguises are really GOOD!! cleo didn’t even recognize us!! And our work must be soooo good he hasn’t noticed the difference. Tabby, good job tying up the “professionals” and keeping them out of sight. SNERK!!!)

Wonder what he’ll do when he does notice? ;-0

Not sure, Dry, I think he already pulled out all of his remaining hair…….

home and in pain, got braces tightened. now i hurt

I thought one of the painters looked way taller after lunch and that the other like much shorter.

Heee’s Baaaaack!

Jfri no problem anything i can do to paint.

bunnyface welcome back. hehe

Hi bunnyface!

Cleo, that tall guy you saw after lunch was Chris Kaman. Don’t know who the short person was, maybe your neighbor! ;-)

HEY we can always use ana she loves to paint

@Tabby, are you willing to clean her (Ana) up afterward?

Does she use her fingers? That much?

LOL!

bunnyface na she likes to use her shirt. lol

its okay i can just dress here in one of my old shirts and let her go for it. then toss her in the tub she’ll be fine

brb

back

marco?

So, what color is cleo’s house going to be today?

polo!

GREEN!!

All green? Any interesting textures?

and BLUE,

and PINK

and PURLPLE

and YELLOW

AND ALL OF THE COLORS!!

I LEARNED SOMETHING TODAY!!!!

i learned how NOT to spike the ball in volleyball.

So—What’s Ana’s favorite color? And how will it irritate cleo?

She loves pink and blue right now, it used to be red then purple but now pink and blue. lol wonder what we can do with that. we can put cute little hand prints all over the place and put our names in it. then use empty bookers bottles and dip in paint and let them leave there “hand prints” behind. hehe

Good Evening Tribe

I’m taking James to a Chicago Wolves hockey game tonight (his first hockey game) so I’ll be back much later. Have fun everyone! :^)

Pink with blue polka dots broken by red and purple stripes sounds fun. And then the trim can be green with orange and yellow stars. Or do a nice tan with the Lucky Charm marshmallows sprinkled in.

bunnyface you are hired!

okay i have to do my math hw now, “mom” said so. lol

with friends like you, etc, etc!

Actually, I am quite liking the paint job. It goes quite well with the cease and desist papers that I have had drawn up by the courts and the restraining orders that are to be delivered. You will all be picking up roadside trash in orange jumpsuits for your next job.

Cleo no I think it will be more that we will be clearing highways! LOL!

Good evening all! Just finishing up a bit of procrastination, and now I think that I will get back to work.

@Dry, with shovels?

@jdoc, SHAME, SHAME!

Don’t you know that you are not supposed to finish up procrastinating? Put it off a little longer!

That reminds me, I should check tomorrow whether the Procrastinator predictions for 2009 have been published yet. They are always slow, but remarkably accurate…

I think we should call you punnyface. :-P bbl

I agree with johnny! Of course, Digital is good at that too! Road act! Stand up comedy team!

@Dry, are you telling us to take it on the road? LOL!

as long as your not standing *IN* the road and traffic you’ll be okay.

back to work i go. :(

bunny you two could make millions!, Well, maybe thousands!

Thousands…of pennies? Bottle caps?

If we get caught, license plates??

bunnyDO RE ME! DINERO! Imagine how many pennies a thousand bucks is? You could put that in your trunk and travel anywhere in the snow!

No, a thousand pennies. Like $10.00…

bunny NO! How many pennies are in a thousand bucks!

100,000, and at 3g per penny, that’s 300kg, or about 660 lbs.

A penny for your thoughts.

i hate math i come here to get away from math… did Akenta put you up to this??

I raise cleo, TWO pennies!! Long day. BOOKERS???

Whose ready to clean the streets of snow? Anybody? Cleo has us doing community service!

JFri just how much Booker”s can you consume? (pours another snifter shaking his head and pours one for himself).

Dry orange jumpsuit aren’t community service, it is incarceration.

Sorry Cleo I don’t look good in orange! Could I have blue, not too dark of a blue mind you!

Dry do you look good in horizontal stripes?

Cleo no, they make me look fat! :-D

dry ROFL orange does not go good on me either neither do stripes. :0)

Cleo it is jfri you are talking about keep pooring till the cows come home or someone gets hurt.

Dry & Tabby, I sense a remake of “The Innocents” but I find both of your acting abilities reprehensible. Chains are in order. You both can be chained together in a dank cell. Perhaps some gruel will give you proper respect for another’s property.

YEA!!! I GET TO BE CHANGED TO DRY!!!! who better to be chained together with?

Cleo i am so totaly innocent! i sware i didnt do it! psst! Dry, what was it i didnt do again?

Everything looks good on me, or, rather, I am make everything look good.

Howdy johnnyd. You certainly look good surrounded by these scoundrels. Tabby plays little miss innocent, but she is the instigator of much of what went on today. Chains I say.

jdoc lol thats the best way to look at it.

Cleo i did nothing. :0) i was gone all day! lol

kicks paint cans aside and turns ana shirt inside out.

Johnny, with those new shades of yours, I don’t doubt that! So how many young ladies are chasing after you these days? Shades can make the man!

Those weren’t shades, but that is ok. Cleo and Tabby, I’m not getting it to any of the, lol.

jdoc just back away slowly

Dry did you see we were being chained together?! how fun!!

johnny back in my day, that’s what they were called! LOL!

They weren’t sunglasses, Dry. Unless you called novelty glasses shades, in which case you were way before my time! :-P Something about chains, I am going to probably just run away now.

(call from a distance: PEACE AND LOVE ALL)

yes, you young whipper snapper, run, run like the wind! :-P :-D

so just upset dad bc i told him. “im not washing the dishes tonight, im to tired its almost 11, my teeth hurt and i have a headache and its been a long day.” so i plied them up in the sink and took my things and came to bed. :0) im learning to say “NO”

(Sneaking past cleo and the authorities with the Bookers bottle in hand. Looks back one last time to admire our handywork.)

You all still yapping about painting?

(Like YOU weren’t there, too, Carmy!!)

That was supposed to be our little secret, JFri, or should I say blabbermouth?

Hey Carmy hows it going?

Hey Tabby, I took a long nap and woke up when the pizza arrived for dinner. Perfect timing!

talk about perfect timing!

i had instant mashed tators for supper. :0( love braces!

my tummy is growling right now. i am unsure as to what i will be eatting tomorrow. he tells me its not goona hurt. HA! he lied lied lied lied lied!!! i feel better now

Tabby, do you have any ice cream? Do you think that might help you?

Carmy i tried that today. i let it sit out and melt. then ate it that way. it was okay but the cold hurt and dummy me cant eat without hitting her teeth.

i shall now quit complaining. sorry folks

Tabby, try the warm salt water rinse.

will do. thanks

well since its almost midnight yet again i shall call it a night. peace and love

Goodnight Sweetie!
