Big Top by Rob Harrell for March 10, 2011

Is Howard Stern radio or TV?

Good Morning, Ooops!

Isn’t Howard Stern on Xm radio or someting like that?

I’ll have the cheesecake please.

Here you go Grog, you are certainly up late. Have you made it part of your routine to just get up and read the comics in the middle of the night?

You might say that, Ooops. I went to sleep at 8PM tonight. I was just a little tired. I’ll still get 3 more hours before the night’s out. Of course I could still read my comics on my new iPad, but it would take a little longer.

And there would be more comments to get through, too. I catch up on those a couple times during the day now.

You are still all excited over your new toy? That is cool!

It is still …………

 Happy Birthday Little Sister

Yes, now that I have the 3g wireless working I can take it anywhere. I got a defective chip replaced last weekend and now it works fine.

You could mail it to me? I could try it out for you? You wouldn’t want it to become a distraction in your life? The next thing you know you will be riding a bus to work just so you can play with Paddy.

OOOPS Like GROG I awoke after 3 hours sleep in the middle of the night so I could taste the results of Big Top. Speaking of taste, could I please have a garden salad (my diet you know) with gobs and gobs of blue cheese dressing (Roquefort if you have it) please. @ AM, sounds like a gallon or 2 of DOC TOON’S WORLD FAMOUS NUCLEAR COFFEE is in order please. Cream, hold the sugar please, my diet you know. Have to power myself to bring HER dog (honest I’ll feed her, take care of her, and walk her all the time) to the vet. Dog lost 4 pounds in a week. It’s female so it must be water weight.

Good Morning, Lewreader. It’s strange seeing you up at this hour.

Ooops! that won’t happen because I can’t take the bus to where I work. If I could, it would add hours to my commute and my days are long enough as it is.

Just a few more toons to go.

Hello and good morning everyone :-)

  Aaah! Sir Lew, you can have whatever you like for breakfast.       Positive Thoughts, Courage & Luv

Well, I can still take care of Paddy if you like, it is no trouble what-so-ever.

Good Morning, ♥Little Sister♥

Maybe when I’m done with it Ooops! - in about 2 years. And I haven’t named it either

Well that’s all for me. See y’all when daylight come.

Good Morning Little Sister, Happy Day After The Birthday!

Sir Lew I did find this for your dog:

Maybe the Happy Dance will bring a little happiness into this time. Best of luck at the vet. Whatever happens, you will get through it with love and compassion. Remember, if your dog does get better, it will take lots of compassion and patience…….. Luv to you and She Who Must Be Obeyed

Good Night Peoples, Rest in One Piece

Well that would be much better than resting in 2 or more pieces.

Hello? Anybody?Is it true no one has posted in 4 hours or has GC pulled another trick?…….Hello to all Tribe who wander in with IPads or not

Little Sister I hope you found my Happy Birthday yesterday on pg 2 and 3.

Ohhhhhhh Ooooooops thank you for the menu and **blackberry cobbler is JUST what I need with Ice cream of course. I will go sit by the fire and eat it!!!! Thank you, thank you!!!!

Finally, a comment! Hi HopeandJoy (from my iPad)

post

Good morning, Everyone…..woke up really really hungry. Could I have a BLT sandwich, Ooops….and a slice of Lemon Meringue Pie, with a drizzle of chocolate sauce laced with mint (smells delicious!!).

It was 34 when I woke up this a.m.!! Was 53 yesterday!! Wow….we really are having a spring this year!!!

So, Little Sis what did you do special for your Birthday? We want details..:))))

Good Morning ♠Lonewolf♠,♥♥ Little Sister♥♥,Wolfbyte LuvH8/BBS,Grog,Doctor Toon, Plodswbeer, Doc Toon, MontanaLady, ♪Hopeandjoy♫Serenasakitty,, Rmom,Bmon,Ladyhawk,,lakesnake ,Digital Frog,Lewreader;MisngNOLA,Woodeye, Yukoneric,Alain Harper,bossyheifer,Simpsonfan, Only Tink, pseudo

I wasn’t sure of posting since some think I’m off in my head, outiside of hearing is improving, nasal is trying to open and think is clearing.

Good morning, Kab, Montana Lady & Quaby.

(esp: Hopeandjoy♫, Grog, Quaby, MT Lady, & ♥♥Kab♥♥.)

Grog said, about 19 bad trips ago

I see faces in the cake!

Oh nooo! Not here!!!

♥♥Kab♥♥, I hope I didn’t get you upset over our amusement yesterday. I knew what you meant, but the error was so oddly appropriate for how I often feel when I get sick–as if I was in two (or more) separate places. And I do enjoy new ways to look at or describe the world–as if I needed any more…

Oh, and hi, pseudo too! BTW, did you change your name for a brief time yesterday to yuck? I must have missed it if you did, and some comments don’t make much sense…

Good morning, Pseudo & bmonk

≡≡ P O P ! ≡≡ ♪ Hello TRIBE! ♪

Hello to all those here!

I’ll have some of my chocolate pancake pie and a piece of German chocolate cake. Thank you Ooops!

How exciting…people are here Good morning Sojo,(popping in);Grog (and to his Ipod); pseudo(and his figures of speech); bmonk (who isn’t giving up BT for lent); Kab(who is feeling better…yea); and Quaby(so much to say); and Montana Lady with her lemon pie

…and so to other things. Doc Toon and Wildcheetah should be home soon.

Hello HopeandJoy♫!

Hi, Sojourner

HopeandJoy, I was thinking the same thing (about Doc).

Hello Grog!

Hi, Sojo!

I see others miss DocT too.

Hello bmonk!

Yes, that’s right.

Doc seems to be the anchor. Hi and bye…. Not much to say but I’m still here.

Well, I better start packing’ away the ol iPod for the day. I’ll be at an off-site meeting this afternoon, and I’m taking a break from the computer tonight.

See y’all tomorrow!

Good bye, Grog.

Sojo So, in the game between KU and Oklahoma State, do you have a clear favorite?

Good Afternoon, Tribeandall.

Here at work, but commenting from my phone. Started out too early to post this morning.

Hi and Bye Plods with Beer!

Bye Grog - Have a good evening.

HopeandJoy♫ - I’m for OSU but if the don’t win KU would be okay.

Hello ♠Lonewolf♠ - Have a good day!

Whenever any of us is missing, that person is missed by the rest of the Tribe.

Hi, Sojo.

Oh! Can I give up being nice and or civil to people who aren’t nice and or civil to me?

Kab Sister, I am afraid I was too blond to get any humor at your expense. If you like I shall go back and reread the comments and then chase down any guilty parties with my grape jelly gun. Though………. I kind of got the feeling most everyone here likes you. The humor was probably affectionate and not mean spirited. So…… just let me know who to shoot or you can use the grape jelly gun to shoot the blighters yourself.

I like the”swype”option with this phone. It’s easier than typing.

Hello Ooops!

HopeandJoy♫ - I see the game just finished and OSU lost by 1 point.

Hi, LuvH8!

♠Lonewolf♠ - I may have to practice more but using the ‘swpe’ option hasn’t worked with me.

No swyping things isn’t nice!

Hello Lonewolf & Sojo

I am not sure I am ready to see Doc T yet, but if the rest of you can be brave…….    

Sojo Sorry for OSU. They really deserved to win I thought.

Lonewolf Good to see you again too since you were msm (missing from site)

Ooops We may see Doc regardless, but when he first gets back as he will still be in a happy daze hearing music while his head is in the clouds.

Lewreader are you o.k.? I am worrying about she who must be obeyed dog and your situation. Wishing unexpected blessings for you.

Hi, Oooops! & ♠Lonewolf♠.

Uhh, Ooooops!!, I think the whole point is to give up being unloving and become a better person. So giving up being civil, well, prolly not a good idea.

OTOH, you could say about DocT that you miss him–but you are working on your aim.

Hi, BMonk

Hi, HopeandJoy!

Hello HopeandJoy

I miss Doc too. Although…..

bmonk…and you a man of the cloth too!! ….encouraging sweet people like LuvH8 to shoot jelly at Doc AND becoming a better person with a squirt gun?

(smiles) What a pair of pranksters you are.

But Bmonk, since I am not the same as you and others, shouldn’t I do something different and give up something ‘good’ instead of something ‘bad’?

HopeandJoy, Doc discourages my Nuclear Experiments. He even hid the Nuclear Fireworks just because of some calls from Homeland Security or some other government branch. I think they all got destroyed except for this one.

Well, I have it on good authority that DocT likes a good dose of jelly–just maybe not wearing it…

I believe he said he prefers to wear Nuclear Mocha Pie With Homemade Nuclear Coffee Ice Cream.

Hi, Everyone, just got back from my walk. It’s so great outside today, got all the way up to 57!!! and the snow is melting much faster now. It’s so much better to get out and walk and breathe at the same time!.

Haven’t figured out what I’m “gonna” do for Lent, yet…….bmonk suggests something that would make us a better person. So, I can just keep my eye on the amount I eat …..that would make me a better person…….But, how does that count with our BT Breakfasts????

Virtual meals don’t count–unless they leads to real meals…

Hello Montana Lady - Glad you had a good walk!

Montana Lady I am happy for your good temps but why are you in the North having better temps than us more southern types? It was 26°at 8 a.m. We had a high of 45° Whoopee but tomorrow we are to be near 60 something….after several days of mist, rain and temps around freezing. You must be doing something very good up there to be so blessed

HopeandJoy♫ - It’s 59° here now and may hit 70° tomorrow, also suuny today! :-)

I think I remember lent from last year, it isn’t when you loan somebody something and they actually give it back.

Hey Bmonk!

Ooops! Sorry Montana Lady! One of these days I will hit him. One of these days.

Who, me?

Sojo you are further south than we are so it figures. (sigh) I am going for a late walk as I fear things are “unsettling” around the Big Top. Yikes Be careful Ooops and bmonk…..wonder what strawberry jam would do???? Kaapooosh

How did you do it? How did you do it?

Sojo, when is Doc due back? Didn’t he say something about knocking down the tent? I am fairly sure you are the only one who has actually knocked down the tent.

Ummm……. has anyone seen the mutant fish thingies lately?

Ooops! - How is Herman? (Just in case.)

Walks gingerly, trying to not step on mutant anythingies

Hello Smiley R Mom!

Hi, Sojo! Do you have plans to get outside tomorrow while the weather is suppose to be nice?

Smiley R Mom - I may do some errands. I’ll have to see.

I hope it is a nice day. My sons & I plan on searching in the ditch for car parts. When I hit a bobcat a couple weeks ago, it popped out a plastic grill, a front tag & holder. I figure if we search during daylight, there’s a better chance of finding them. Since they are all plastic, we can probably glue them back in place, and hopefully make it hard to tell anything happened.

Smiley R Mom - I hope you can find them.

Sojo - I do too! For one thing, the sooner we find them, the shorter the search will be. There was a big grass fire last week, that was in the same county. Made me think that I’d better be getting out there, if I was going to do it. But I decided it would be best to go with another driver, so I wouldn’t have to walk as much.

Hello all okay Big Sister let pseudo have it he was the meany one Bmonk hasn’t been too bad. I guess I should get mean too. Give him a double dose of not grape jelly but some jelly that taste bad like bitter jelly or red hot burn your throat jelly. I could use an evil laugh.

My ears are still a little down as my nasal throat is also tender. Hubby said he call tell difference. How long does this last on allergies? This has been the hardest hiting. Remember all I said my thoughts were foggy and muggy at times. Coming out of it more.

Bmonk Well what can I say….It was Smuckers strawberry seedless anyway and I did scare of the mutant thingy and if the phone hadn”t run for the umpteenth time…..

anyway enjoy!???

Hope&Joy - They make strawberry jelly without seeds?

Hello ♥Kab♥!

You remembered! I can’t remember names or mutations! I remember Ladyhawk helped us create the fish pond in the ceiling, but thankfully the fish were tranfered to a tank before you knocked it over. Bmonk, Grog, Doc, Sir Lew, Little Sister & You all named fish? Is that right? There was fur and glowing and legs and scary colors?

The telephones continue to ring….I am gone for awhile.

That’s GOLF……not gold….tee-hee…although gold is good

Rmom (Smiley) OMG You made me read the label! There does not appear to be any seeds in Smuckers Squeeze ( that’s why I could shoot it at mutants) but it DOES have High Fructos and High fructose corn surup as well as plain corn surup!!! **This is what my golferman insists having on his peanut butter sandwiches! What kind of a wife am I? ….but I guess it is his one vice besides gold….

Hope&Joy - Having read your last post, the one before it makes more sense now! Hi, Kab! - You snuck in where I wasn’t looking!

I like at times to be sneaky.

My posts flip-flopped! The first one is out of place, Smiley Rmom

Hello Kab Sister! Did you have a good day? Allergies…. ummm, they might never go away completely. You could look into some natural alternatives to supplement anything your doctor gives you. There are some simple things that may help and would not be too strange. Try the ones that are no risk to you…. like daily honey and lots of water, etc. The honey actually cut down on my allergies for a while.

Rmom I know you are doing great in class. I’m in the test faze of Basic English with formal paragraphs to write. I plan do pleasure reading for spring break. No I don’t get off of work from spring break either.

Kab - I haven’t decided on what to do for Spring Break. This is the first year I’ve had one, since we homeschooled 4 days per week, we never took off for a whole week, unless we had a trip planned.

Uh-Oh! Our College Students are making Spring Break Plans!!!

(hiding behind couch)

Oh, ummm, Sojo….. the insurance policy on Herman? It did include getting eaten right? I remember now, I came in when Winky was ‘hibernating’ and…… ummm, you really don’t want details. Yucky! Yucky! Yucky!

Hello everyone :-) and yes Big Sister I too am making Spring Break plans.

Little Sister I didn’t forget your birthday!!! I sent a card!!

Hello ♥Little Sister♥!

Ooops! - There was nothing about how. I guess I’ll contact the insurance company since he’s gone. :-(

I saw it HopeandJoy Thank you :-)

He might have escaped the massacre? I think one or two did? I just have no way to be sure…. I am not sure why Little Sister is so fond of Winky. I much prefer Clovis. Oh! Hi Little Sister!

Ooops! - Good link, LOL

Hmmm….. I have to get my nephew a present soon. It has to be late. The first present was late, so everyone’s has to be late. These are fun rules.

Time for my zzzzzz’s.

♪ P&L ♪ ≡≡ POOF! ≡≡

I don’t think I can get out of being gone tomorrow so will turn in early in preparation.

Happy dreams!

Hello all I won’t be on too long myself. I left for awhile to work on English and a paragraph. I wish I could get away for sping break but working parttime unless without pay hard to. Now if I had a lot of extra time way over 1,000 long before the years ends I could easily to loose hours. For hubby and my anniversay in April for 30 years wish we could. I don’t know if Branson has much intertainment and are cc needs more money. So me Spring break I will be watching a reality show. Work afternoon watch this show.

I am getting ready to say good night if my body will let me. I have had to make big changes for health insurance. Retired hubby former place of employment dropped BCBS for a different one. Not happy meds included on price. There is a cap for the year same limit on number of hours.

Kab Sister, I hope the new insurance is better than you think. Those things confuse me.

Maybe your children will be inspired to do something special for your anniversary if you have your hubby suggest it strongly enough? Somehow when Fathers suggest these things, they seem much more important. Stupid Men!
