Big Top by Rob Harrell for June 24, 2009

I can’t resist a spud either.

Okey, breakfast time, let’s see. Rainier cherries, cantaloupe, grapefruit, strawberries and bananas in non- fat yogurt.

Crepes with crab, goat cheese and asparagus.

Omelet with onion, red pepper, gouda, shrimp, cilantro, corn tortillas, homemade black beans and salsa.

Oh poor potato head!

I’ll have the fruit, please. Ranier cherries, yum!!

Good morning Cleo and Dawn.

I agree with you, Marg. Fruit please, Cleo. Hello to you both, and thanks for the breakie!

Whoa! I missed the change over! I was stuck on yesterday! Left you a message there, cleo! Breakfast sounds very good!

Carmy* when you come back on in the morning, yes, I have two grown sons - no daughters but a daughter - in - law. No grand children yet.

okay you guys im going to call it a day/night/whatever. im going to bed. i hope you all have a great day today. Happy Wednesday to all. sleep well peace and love to you.

Good morning and Happy Wednesday!

I’m impressed, Firefox actually saved what I started to type. I get nervous when my cat walks behind my computer and then on top of my surge protector that my computer is plugged into. Always am afraid he’s going to shut it off, and this morning he did. He woke me up at 3:30 this morning, so I’m still kind of tired. It’s going to be a fun day today - hope everyone else gets off to a better start.

Yes, Lane is with the Vols this season. I’ve never cared for college football, but am going to give it a try in the fall now that I got a team to root for. Tenn isn’t well liked here in GA, but there is one person at work who is a fan, so it might not be too bad. Most of the other people at work are Bulldog fans (GA, though one Mississippi fan).

Made me think of cleo (except cleo is much better looking)

Hilarious!! Apparently Wink ate Potato Head Joe! I love his expression of quilt!!

Well I see i have some reading to do! JOY helped close us down last night? What is this the Twilight Zone?

* No way!!*

I don’t like to share this computer! I miss all the fun, dag nab it!!!

Morning all! Akenta, hope your first day back isn’t too bad!

doc, I’ll take some of your nuclear coffee, straight into the vein please! I didn’t sleep well last night, things on my mind. You know how that goes in the wee hours of the morning when you’re trying to sleep!

doc, sorry your brain ended up in the litter box, but glad you found it!! :-D

doc, oh dear! That is a problem!!

doc, yeah, there’s a cure DRINK MORE COFFEE!!!!

lol doc didn’t we tell you not to leave your brain laying around. the cats were bound to find it. :D

dry you may miss stuff, but not as much as i do.

I was awoken by mrs. sherrie again this morning she still feels bad her head hurts still so she called me to help her. that is when you know it is bad when she asks for help. :( i just pray it gets better soon. also i will have to start setting my alarm for 5:30 so she feels less bad if she wakes me.

well off to start my day lots of stuff to do befor wrok today. bbl peace and love all..

oh Joy hope you got some sleep. Dry i understand what you mean about sleep on things on your brain. Akenta have a good day at work… tell my little boy kitty to behave. lol

now im going. lol bbl. morning all

did you all see Dog eat doug this morning? it great go check it out. lol that would be the kids i babysit.

Good morning everybody. I just got home a short time ago so I thought I would drop by to see what’s going on. Is there any breakfast left? I brought some warm cinnamon sticky buns for anyone with a sweet tooth today. I was reading yesterdays posts about giving nutty names to everyone. Great idea. I don’t think Serena lends itself to a nutty name. Maybe I could just be the sane and sensible one that anchors the group?? It was just an idea. Sorry Doc, but there is no cure for Canadianism. I’ll just sneak away quietly.

Good Morning! I woke up late, duh! BBL!

He killed Potato Head Joe! You bastar… Never mind, wrong comedy.

Morning, all! Thanks for the chat last night, this morning, Carmy, Dawn & Cleo . I enjoyed it. Stacation or not…RL beckons for the day so may see you later. P&L all!

Morning tabby! Cut yourself some slack today and SLOW DOWN!!!

Hey carmy

Hey serena

doc, rodent revolution, looks more like they liked our water battle from the other night and decided to try one for themselves!!! LOL

hi dcguys!

Akenta, I just checked “out of the gene pool”. Definately, that’s our Cleo!!! :-D

Morning, Dry.

Good Morning Le Tribe. Another day of toon chat.

JFri - Yup, hangin’ just fine.

Akenta- I never make a resolution, if I know for certain that I can’t keep it. LOL

Dry - I have nights like yours quite often. Most recently two nights ago. My brain won’t shut down and I keep going over things that I either need to do or things that are bothering me.

cleo, that is the pits!! Mine is usually from worrying about things. I try to clear my head, sometimes it works, most times not! I almost got up last night to get on here and see what was up. Probably should have, it would have been more productive than laying there wide awake! LOL

dry im taking it kind of esay. i am cleaning house today while the kids plays the X-Box… lol bbl need to fin.

Morning, tribe. cleo - Thanks for thinking of me last night. I don’t know that it works with both R’s, but I R A Nut - maybe I R Really A Nut. So, it’s bad grammar, but this isn’t for a grade - is it? My husband is also a nut, according to my mom. She said I’d either marry someone who’s crazy, or I’d make them that way. I think life is more enjoyable if one doesn’t take herself/himself too seriously.

Rmom i was going to ask where you were yesterday and got distracted. sorry. so how have you been? im a nut and im proud. lol

oh and i forgot to tell you what else happened yesterday.. I got a busted lip… again! sucks

tabby - I’m fine. Just sewing & other RL activities which are difficult to do sitting at the computer. Sorry to hear about your busted lip! I hope it wasn’t bad enough to need stitches?

doc - Good morning - I think. I’m not fully awake yet. “He who can laugh at himself will never cease to be amused.”

tabby - You sure have taken on a lot of responsibility. Hopefully you can take some time to just enjoy what you like to do.

Rmom, g’morning! I like doc’s attitude, and also the one that says “Insanity is inherited–you get it from your children!”

doctortoon -Good Morning to you too, sir. I think your idea of a comic of us is a good one. We could all be stranded on a desert island. “The Tribe”, or “The Tribe Of Yappy Nuts”. I suppose in order to get published I would probably have to be drawn with a fig leaf. DRAT!!!

Oh yes: Anyone who likes good food, avoid Dennis the Mennace today. Verbum sat.

@cleo, wouldn’t it depend on how many strategically placed bushes there were? I think Mythtickle got by with that some years back when Adam and Eve were looking into a computer…

I am getting to do things i love and enjoy but it consist of work so im lost. lol i love to be with kids and with my friends.

oh i got on here to report that i have broken my new years resulation. :( well at least i made it to june. lol i was planing on not moving my room aroung again till next year. i do it severl times a year. and its hard on me. i move my huge queen size bed and heave mettle fram by myself and my dresser and old dreser thing that is like a “beauty table” i dont use it but to hold my radio and other junk. lol okay now back to work if i could just stay away. but i miss you guys. lol

oh the lip dosent need stiches my mouth just hit ana’s knee when i was tickling her. lol i got what i deserved poor baby was being torucherd. lol (sp and sp check is down. )

bmonk - I’ve heard that saying and like it, but there’s too many people who would vouch that I was that way before I became a mom. Although, a touch of insanity is a basic requirement to be a homeschool mom. It really helps to be a little crazy when you are around your kids 24/7 for years AND trying to teach them what they need to know.

bmonk - Good idea. Fig leaves are so d@rn itchy.

Of course, Rmom, kids only put the finishing touches on a properly aged fine and glorious insanity. But it’s still better to blame them than to admit the alternative, that I myself nurtured this craziness to it’s present extreme.

doc, it’s not the peanut butter and ketchup; it’s what else might be in there with them…

Good Morning (again!) I had to take number 1 daughter to the ortho. I hope everyone is doing well. I see Tabby is busy being busy again.

Do they have to have another contest now or does the Elephant Lady get the prize now?

doctortoon - Sorry, but your sandwich sounds disgusting. I’ll take peanut butter (crunchy), jelly (marmalade) and banana.

Pls refer to my comment yesterday (yes, just the one):

DAAAAAAHH Strip:

Time for the big After-Show Buffet.

“Please pass the mashed spudz!!!”

“Hey, where’s the Guest of Honor?”

”HE’S SWIMMING IN GRAVY ON YOUR PLATE.”

It’s deja-din-din all over again.

Hi Joy!

I’m glad you like “Almond Joy.” I like Dry Roasted Nut for Dry.

So is anyone honey roasted or sweet & spicy? I don’t remember seeing those yesterday. I’ll have to go look. BBL

God morning everyone! No that wasn’t a typo. I don’t have time to read all the posts before I go to my gardening job, but I have this to say to Doc

What’s up Doc, eh??!!!

To the rest of you potato heads- not! Have a great day, and I’ll return to respond more fully tonight.

(CAN”T resist this one!)

CLEO Those itchy fig leaves didn’t happen to come in THREES did they? LOL!

BBML

Yup, doctoryappynut is a snoozing! Sweet dreams doc!

so no one has said anything about my pic…. if so i skiped over it and did not see. im almost fin my room. i have my dresser left to redo and some things to find places for. then ill take a late lunch break and relax for a little while and cook supper.

WooHoo! An exciting morning of jumping out of bucket trucks and “falling” off utility poles! Tool demos for self rescue & wood pole fall arrest apparatus! And they say I’m

NUTS!!!

Time for lunch!

tabby - that is a sweet pic. Sorry, I didn’t notice until you said something. Life is just hectic right now.

Welcome to another scintilating tour of……

Ghost Town!!

Hellooooooooooo

Rmom thanks. are you alright? i do hope so.

Jfri you are nuts. lol it sure is a ghost town. lol

JFri, I hope you are doing okay after all that “jumping” and “falling.”

Risitas, at least in Through the Looking Glass, they had the table manners not to eat any dishes they had been introduced to.

JFri and Cleo, you would have loved to have been in my office this day. Our Waterways Conservation Officer and our DCNR Officer were here. They had some great trout strocking tales and bear tales. You guys would have laughed your A@@@@ off!

No one ever said my job was dull!

tabby, nice avatar. I just hope they keep pictures (for when he/she hits about 16) and start saving up for the years of therapy…LOL

Bmonk lol i found this on a site that i had a very big argument with someone one. lol it was fun. but i fed the troll. :(

okay so i am finished. now its time for lunch and cook supper. bbl

Hello again everyone. I just off loaded a yard of fertile mulch in the rain and hulled and froze a flat of strawberries. We have gotten some rain today, but even though there isn’t any blue sky out there it is brightening up and I wonder if it will clear. That has been the pattern for over a month. I can not remember the last time we had a full day of clouds.

Shika - Nope, I know my poison ivy and nettles. Experienced with nettles.

cleo rain? What rain?

woo doggie, I finally finished my comics rounds. It took forever because of RL. Anyway, I’m off for a nap. BBL

JFri - It’s now clearing off after 3 tenths of an inch, not much but better than any other day this month.

cleo, out here on the West Dakota tundra, the song really is true: “…and the skies are not cloudy all day!” On the other hand, I have yet to see any deer and antelope play…

Yes, I loved watching the clouds float by when I lived in N. Dakota.

finished. all im doing now is wating on the veggies to cook. everything is done till people get home. oh and the clothes to fin. so what is going on? how are you all?

Tabby - Hi. I am helping my wife with mulching her garden today. It is kind of slow here so far. I check back in now again.

Hi everyone! Tabby, slow down, you are making me tired!

Jdoc whats bad is that with as much as i do i stil cant sleep at night. :( its bad i know.

cleo im reading my emails and messing with friends. and doing stuff for UL this fall. so im in and out also.

@johnnydoc, you should do as some do: work fascinates them. They can watch it all day.

And then there was the guy who didn’t mind hearing a lawnmower at 6:00 a.m. on Saturday. It meant that someone was working hard very early–and it wasn’t him…

Too bad, Potatohead Joe had a winning smile. Wonder how it tasted.

okay guys i have to go for a while im running next door to check on the people. bbl

sensrule92 - Welcome.

bmonk - I don’t like watching my wife work because it makes me feel guilty that I am not also working. She is like a machine, whereas I can do just fine doing the bare minimum.

@cleo, ROFL: you need to get your wife to do (or is that wear?) the bare minimum. Then it will be that much more enticing to watch her…

I just think she is overdoing it, bmonk, perhaps it is because I am already exhausted, but I don’t quite understand your comment to me. Care to explain to a slower mind?

It’s what people say when they are watching other people work. It’s a lot less exhausting when you don’t have to do it yourself. But leads to more guilt, as doc mentioned.

Or maybe it’s just my mind running across several intuitive leaps and not making a lot of sense. It happens to me on occasion.

bmonk -Yes, I like it when she wears the bare minimum. I can not get her to slow down though. She is a woman with a constant mission.

Work wasn’t too bad. We’re about to hit the summer slowdown, so hopefully, I’ll be able to catch up and then get a little ahead where I like to be.

johnnyd I agree, I think tabby should try and relax a bit, but I don’t think it’s in her nature. I know several people that are always on the go and having to do somehing. And yes, it tires me out too :-)

Hi johnny, how was your day?

Hi Akenta, well you answered my question about your day back at work. Glad it wasn’t too bad!

Dry - So it sounds as if you had an interesting day at work.

Thanks bmonk, I get it now, bear with me folks my brain is working in a 36 hour world. Hi Dry, my day was long, and hot, how was yours? Hi Akenta, how was your day?

No, I frequently lose myself in the intuitive leaps and have to go back, if I can, to find where I got lost.

I’ve lost my marbles–have you seen them anywhere?

Gotta go – got a dinner to get ready for…

johnny, interesting. Spent the morning listening to trout stocking stories that went totally awry and bear tales by two conservation officers from our sister agency! And the best part, these guys when they tell a story are hilarious!! They would fit with OUR TRIBE quite well!

Dry - Tell them that you belong to a cartoon tribe. It will probably get you a promotion. LOL

That is cool, I have some interesting people at work too, but the sweltering heat is tough.

What do you do johnny, if I may ask. You may have said, but I missed it.

I love the heat! 90 here and I’m lovin’ it!

Cleo, our computer guy who does our maintenance periodically when needed, is 60 and getting ready to retire from his job, he’s one of those that ties into computers all over the country to fix them and mostly works from home. Well he was working on my computer one day and saw my bookmark for here, LOL he never comments but that’s the first thing he does in the morning is come to this site! I told him my screen name, don’t know if he’s checked it out yet or not!

Dry - Everyone I tell about this posting I do at gocomics, either politely smiles ( I can tell they think I’m a nut) or seems like I am wasting my time.

Hey, wait a minute … #THEY THINK I’M A NUT!!!

Work in a factory, it is a summer job, it pays well, but the hours are many and early, and like I said, it is HOT. (for me anyway) I don’t like the heat, anything over 70 is too warm for me!

johnny oh yea, you’re a college student, forgot about that! I have a son starting college soon. He works in a hot spot too, fast food kitchen as a cook!

cleo, I only told him because he’s a comic freak too, My co-workers know I read the comics but not that I do this. Although, they must wonder sometimes when they hear me tippy tapping away or LOL! I am lucky, our office is very laid back and we get our jobs done, having a lot of fun along the way!

Dry - I can tell my wife gets a bit irritated that I spend so much time doing this, but we are very different in some ways. She is driven and is constantly doing things, whereas I can take time to just read a book or do this, she instead works while listening to books or podcasts on her ipod.

cleo, I hope it doesn’t cause a conflict for you. We would hate to lose you as an original tribe member!

Dry - I doubt it will ever come to anything so drastic. it is kind of a balancing act, doing what I can to get jobs done that she thinks I should do and interacting here with my friends. We do okay. For two people who have big differences, we are on the same page with the things that matter most.

cleo, I thought ” now why did he change his avatar”? Until I got a closer look!!! ROFLMAO!!!! Where did you get that?

Cleo love your new avatar. I get a kick out of the way it can change right when I’m reading the comments. I know, small things amuse small minds. I told one of my coworkers that I like to read comics. He just smiled politely but I noticed that he was peeking at the comics pages as well. I used to read a lot of comic books when I was a kid but then I sort of grew away from them. When my son was old enough I started reading them with him. Now he’s grown up and I still like to read comics both books and strips. I’ve heard that if you leave comics and then come back, you’re hooked for life. HELP!!!!!!!!!

Dry - I just googled naked man backside cartoon and found it at some website.

I am going to have to BBL as I am about to cook a whole chicken on the BBQ. Anyone interested in Cilantro & Sake Roasted Chicken, you are welcome.

HERE I COME,cleo! See ya’ later!

Dry, that is my winter job.

Cleo, sounds great. I’ll be right there.

johnny, knowing how hard my other son studied at Cornell, I know! But don’t overdo what you can do, if you know what I’m saying! Don’t try for perfection! But there again, he graduated Magna C u m Laude!

Doc I was just rereading some of the earlier post about your nuttifying my name. Serenut? Serenut eh? Serenuta? I like it but I still think there should be at least one sane and sensible member of the group just for contrast.

serena- If there was one sane, sensible member of the group, that one person would be gone quickly. But, if you insist, how about seresan. You have part of your name and part of sane.

I will try to post as I cook this chicken, but if I disappear you know why.

Serenely Nuts???

JFri - How’s the man?

Love it. I guess I have to admit that a sane person would leave or join the club. JFri I like your idea too.

cleo, I think your avatar is great.

I just finished cooking. Beef tacos spicy or plain. Spanish rice and refried beans (from a can, sorry).

Dry - About my new avatar, I always feel like I am getting a little behind in my posts, but so far only big behinds.

carmy - Sounds delicious. I am presently simmering dried lentils.

Dry, isn’t it a shame that Latin has been corrupted by English (c u m). It means with, and it bothers me that it means something else. Cornell, that is very impressive, congrats to your son. I am a year and a half from graduating Michigan. (Won’t be magna c u m anything, but I will be happy with it.) College hasn’t been good to me, but I finally figured it out. Now I recover and rebuild.

cleo, I’ll send you a plate over, for now or later. :)

BBL!

DOC You sound cute as a Canadian. The ladies will love you- sweetie especially, eh?

BBL supper, and then I’m here for the fun!

carmy - Thank you, I will have it for lunch tomorrow. We love Mexican food and make it at very least once a week. My wife makes her lunch Mexican probably 5 times a week. We have a huge supply of corn tortillas on hand all of the time.

Sign me up, Carmy! cleo it’s going well……work’s over for today!

@ Cleo: We already have the theme song for our strip1 OOH_ nice pun: Cleo-strip!

Cleo’s Strip!

BBL

— again.

Shika - Strip? How can one strip while naked?

cleo, that certainly is a BIG BEHIND!! LOL

Dry - Like I said, I have been searching for smaller naked behinds, to more accurately represent my own, but I guess they aren’t funny.

johnny, thank you. I will tell my son you said that. He checks in here from time to time to see what his mom is up to! My sons are cool with this, I guess they didn’t realize their mom could be cool! LOL He also graduated 5th in his class in high school out of 200+ students in that class. He worked hard, and if he got so much as a B he wasn’t happy! When he got to college he discovered a B was okay, especially in an Ivy League school. :-)

Cleo,I wish I had known you were hulling and freezing strawberries. I would have had you do ours!

Hi everyone. You really are Yappy Nuts. I finally caught up from this morning. Now I have to go to make supper and you will probably have finisihed another three or four pages.

DocT you are now an honorary Canadian eh?

cleo, trust me, like I said, when I checked that closer I literally laughed my a@@ off! I thought that was pretty cool!

BTW, I was also hulling and freezing strawberries. ‘Tis the season. Winter jam is soooooo nice!

Like the new avatars, Cleo and Tabby.

Hi RMom, I think you must be a nut ;-) to home school - I know I wouldn’t have been able to do it, although I did a lot of volunteering.

doctortoon -Good Morning???

Dawn - Do you know the plastic straw trick with hulling strawberries?

johnny , thanks for the heads up! I went back and fixed it! Yes it is a shame that Latin has been corrupted by our English!

What are you studying? What are your career goals?

Why do Canadians always say “eh”? C-A-N-A-D-A…….gee, I don’t know???

Cleo watch out for fig leaves. We were told deer wouldn’t eat them because the leaves can irritate and cause a bad rash. Mind you, our deer didn’t seem to mind as they ate all the leaves!

Your welcome Dry, I graduated 13 out 150 plus at my high school, but that is all because of a bad senior year, I slacked off way too much and lost 3 or 4 spots. I had never seen a C before that. I have just started to get out of that funk.

Doc, I can sympathize with your situation, my brother works the graveyard shift at the local grocery store. He is just now getting up, and I am now heading to bed.

No Cleo I haven’t heard of that, I used my finger nail. I’ll have to try a straw next time - if I remember ;-)

I finished 699 out of 725, I think. I was voted least likely to live to be 25! Is that a good thing???

I find it hard to believe that deer survive at all, they seem so stupid.

JFri, you seem plenty intelligent to me, and you superseded expectations, I think, which is good.

JFri, you are crazy!

johnny, I added something to my post to you. Did you see it, “career goals”?

johnny if you ever hunt deer, you might change your mind about them! docT, stocker? Ohhhhh, I thought you were a stalker!!

JFri, I’m sending a plate over for you too. :) jdoc, I think it’s great that you have learned how to handle the college life and did not give up as some people do.

aargh, BBL.

Dawn - the straw trick is to take a straw and push it from the top of the strawberry through the stem end. it is slick and fast.

Dawn - It I wear a fig leaf it will only be in our self - created cartoon. A fig is just to bulky. LOL

Thank you Carmy JFri, I have been hunting a few times, don’t have a permit, but will be getting one next month I think. No, I didn’t shoot without a license, I was just along for the ride. Doc, yes he is a stocker. A pretty good one too, because he keeps getting more hours, I almost never see him, and I share a room with him right now. Dry, I am studying Biology in pursuit of a career as a Physicians Assistant. PA’s are almost doctors, make good money, there is a HUGE demand for them, and it is much less schooling. I think it is a good start, and sometime in the future I will go back to school and get the medical degree.

On that happy note, I must go to bed, GOOD NIGHT ALL.

Night, johnny! Sounds like a good plan! docT, thanks for clearing that up for me!

johnnydoc - Good night and good luck with your aspirations.

Good night johnnyd

docT are you a stocker or a stalker? I get confused sometimes from you comments :-p

My bedtime too, see you all in the morning.

BTW, thanks, Carmy!! ((((((((((Carmy))))))))))

((((((((((Dry))))))))))

docT, just because you don’t get paid doesn’t mean you aren’t one!!!

Good night johnny- Sorry I missed you. I know that college is hard, and it doesn’t get any easier the second time around. We have some in our classes your age, and then the ages range up to, well- retired! And I’m not talking 55 retirement. Here it is 65. Although that’s pretty late to earn a Master’s Degree.

I think you are doing really well, and I like your foresight to plan for medical school too if you decide to go that route.

Ahh- to be young again!

docT, are you serious? All kinds of cute ski bunnies in CO!!

That’s just wrong! lol

johnny sorry I missed you! Good for you! sometimes I think PA’s, like RN’s know more than the doctors! Good luck! I’m sure you’ll do fine!

Dry- Your work sounds like it’s fun. I love it when you have time to chat and trade stories. I used to get into trouble for listening to too many stories- or telling them. But my best clients liked my sense of humour, so there you go.

Cleo How about your cape and boots? You could strip those. And in the strip about us, I think we were going to arrange to place bushes strategically around for you.

Although, a bush may look funny indoors, if we ever go inside!

(((((((((((((JFri)))))))))))))))))))

@jaretsyoung– What’s wrong, and do I know you? LOL Welcome if you are a newcomer.

Dry, awwww shucks, ma’am!

Hey How come everyone’s getting hugs all of a sudden?

:( I feel unloved now. (I am not needy. Don’t say that I am!)

Maybe just a teensy bit. =D

Doc Don’t blame me for those Canadian clumps on your brain! I don’t go around losing my brains near kitty litter! Or anywhere else! :P

Cleo Any leftover chicken? I’m feeling peckish. Darn. forget I said that! I’m a little hungry though.

How’s furry cleo?

((((((((((Shika))))))))))

bmonk- maybe if you write everything small case like this with a star at each end, your typing with seem high and squeaky?

Once I get something on my mind, it stays there. Must be those Canadian clumps, eh?

Well, I guess the stars just disappear.

how about this?<

Guess what? You can’t type >this> at>the>beginning of a sentence here.

It just moves everything over, like this!

NEAT, EH????

That’s it. I must have B.O. I’m leaving. Boo-Hoo No one to play with!

shika , I love Canada and always loved when I was there how you people end your sentences with “Eh”!

Are you familiar with Red Green? Loved that show, wish he had kept with it!

docT, you’re NOT there to ski! You’re there to stalk! Do I have to tell you everything?? Sheeeesh!

Anybody see today’s Beetle Bailey? ROFLMAO!!

(((((((SHIKA))))))

Thanks for the hugs JFri! Goodnight jdoc and Akenta. Sorry I missed you all.

Dry, you mean the one where the General gets into his wife’s conditioner! Nope, haven’t seen it!! Yuk, yuk, yuk!

*Dry, I saw it, he looks soooo cute.

Thanks for the hug carmy! ((((carmy)))) right back!

Dry I remember Red Green–Fishing guy, wasn’t he? I loved his show too, when I could catch it.

We had a Travel guy named Bill Bramha from Georgian Bay who wrote columns on Ontario and the rest of Canada. He travelled all over, something like cleo I think there was also a book, “Bill’s Ontario” or something like that. In fact we once had the book.

shika, sometimes the link works and soemtimes it doesn’t! It’s funnier in color though!

I take it you saw it JFri? Yuk, Yuk, Yuk!

carmy, There was one strip from a while back I have laminated and stuck on my fridge where he finds his old swagger stick and remarks to himself how he used to get a lot of respect with that stick. He taps his wife on the shoulder with it and says “I’ll have my dinner now!” She breaks it over his head and in the last panel he says, “These sticks lose their effectiveness after awhile! ” Yeah pal, they sure do!! :=D

Dry- I forgot that Beetle Bailey wasn’t on this site. You should see what I got when I typed it in without capitals! Hilarious.

Thanks for the link Doc. saved me going to my own comic kingdom site to get it. I might no make it back here if I start reading those comics tonight.

Forget the cccnuts Doc! Mua is still sick from eating what Boots forgot to bury- bleeep that Boots! (Nice kitty, Gooood Kitty–down, boy!)

shika, “Red Green” was a comedy show filmed in Ontario. Hilarious! Possum Lodge ring a bell? Red Green was Steve Smith who wrote and starred in the show. It was filmed in Toronto.

He made duct tape famous!

Goooollll-lllyy! Gomer Pyle here. (Don’t ask me where that came from, my mind has a mind of it’s own.)

I meant to write, “Golly! It’s bed time already for me.”

♫♪♪♫♫Good Night Irene♪♫♪♪♫♫♪

Night, Tribe! Peace and Love and all that jazz.

Dry, yes I did! How could you tell?

O;-)

Okay. Encore.

Dry Possum Lodge indeed rings a bell. I guess I just though it was a fishing show. My mom watched it more than I did. I think I was either in university or working, but I remember the show being on in the afternoon at the time. I know it was funny!

How did he make duct tape famous?

Shika, He used it for

EVERYTHING!!!!!!!!!!!!

No matter what he fixed or what he did, you could count on duct tape being part of the job!!

Goodnight Shika! Dry, I think i remember that “stick” comic. I like that Miss Buxley goes out with Beetle. Doc, poor Boots. LOLS

DRY? I have to get to bed now. I can’t sleep if I don’t know.

How did Red Green make duct tape famous???*

Shika read my post above carmy’s!! We’re posting out of order again!

Thanks Dry Now I can sleep. After I duct tape my bed together. LOL

Goo’ night all! (Yawn and stretch…….) See you in the morning.

JFri, is that big O supposed to be your brain? LOL better downsize it a little!!!! :-D

Dry, I loved Red Green - especially his repairs. He repaired everything and made everything with duct tape, Shika. ”If women don’t find you handsome, they should at least find you handy.” was his saying and he finished with the man’s prayer. I think it is playing on PBS now.

shika if you do duct tape it, it should hold together for a VERY long time, LOL!

Shika - Furry Cleo is fine. I am kind of furry myself, so i am fine too.

Dry, it”s my HALO!! It needs to be bigger!

JFRi halo, bigger? ROFLMAO!!!!

P&L, Doc!

What’s with the halo, JFri?

Carmy, I’m just so innocent! Don’t you agree?

doctortoon - May your work day be short and hairy. Oh… that’s not quite right. is it? May your work day be short and Larry. Nope, may your work day be short and scary. Oh, may your work day be short and merry.

Of course I agree JFri! :)

cleo, are you okay?

Akenta and jdoc sorry i have been working so much and making you guys tired. i just have things to do and i have to get them done. im so tired right now its crazy. tomorrow all i have to do is babysit and cook supper so that is what im going to do eat, sleep, read, babysit and be happy. lol that probably wont happen. but ill try. :D

The man’s prayer: I’m a man And I can change If I have to I guess.

carmy, don’t worry, sometimes cleo gets carried away! Remember how excited he got about marg’s new avatar? I had to tell him to calm down!

I just saw a younger cleo over at the Sunshine Club on Comics.com!! LOL cleo, you there, my friend? Go check it out!!

okay you guys and gals. im calling it a night. im so tired i can barely keep my eyes open. i have to get up at 5:30 tomorrow so i need sleep. peace and love all i will try to get on here sometimes tomorrow no promises. love you all.

welcome new people.

Dawn knows Red Green! Way to go girl!!

Dry, I hear you. I remember when you had to calm him down. LOLS

Goodnight Tabby! I hope you have a nice peaceful sleep and that 5:30 am takes it time getting there for you. :)

Dawn it used to be on PBS here, but hasn’t been for awhile. But it may be back, they usually rotate. Right now we have “Are You Being Served”,” Last of the Summer Wine”, “As Time Goes By”, and “Keeping Up Appearances” all British. GREAT STUFF! Can watch them all a hundred times over and still laugh!

OH and I loved Harold on Red Green! What a hoot! “Uncle Red, Uncle Red”,

Dry, I think I might text & be an Ice Road Trucker! What do you think?

Sounds like a death wish JFri!

Think so, Carmy? Well what if I throw in watching planes in the sky, too? That’s not better, huh?

Remember what I have knowledge of, SNERKS AND GIGGLES!!!

So, Dry, that’s a

NO?

Dang it, Dry, I messed up, didn’t I?

NO, JFri. Plane watching will only make it worse. Anyway, Dry’s gonna kick your behind!

JFri Read my lips, well envision it!

NO

Dry, I love every one of those! Have you seen “Waiting for God?” Another good one. And “Doc Martin?” It’s a newer one but very entertaining. If you have a chance, you should watch them.

Anybody else have the page number showing at the end of my comment or is it just on my computer?

Anyway, that was supposed to be a big large NO!

Well its messed up again!

dawn Waiting for God, Oh yes! Never heard of Doc Martin, that hasn’t been down here. What about “Allo”Allo, Good neighbors, To The Manor Born, The Iriish RM, Yes, Minister?

carmy and JFri, page numbers at the end of my no post so I cant’ make the no big? WAKE UP! Is it just on my ‘puter? :-D

gmartin, actually our record is about 500.

gmartin, carmy’s right!

Dry, the end of the page thing sounds odd. Did you try to “edit” it?

Dry, “Yes Minister” and “Yes Prime Minister” - my absolute faves. Don’t know “”Good Neighbours” or the “”Irish RM” Will have to look them up.

You know, I think gmartin is longing to be one of the Tribe. gmartin, join us. Instead of mocking us you can have friends who actually care about you, who worry about you and who talk to you. If you knock that, then you are missing the boat my friend.

carmy, yes, but I couldn’t because the page numbers went directly to the bottom of the comment section. I put the cursor over that edit spot and nothing happened. It’s still there, i refreshed and everything!

‘Pecan pie’ here. Just about the witching hour, and I’m off to make my nightly rounds. If you’re going to bed, have a good night.

Ah, my paradise. Being surrounded by beautiful women. What more could a man want. Sigh.

dawn, yes do look them up! I think you will definately enjoy Good Neighbours”! The man, was it Peter Boyle, who was in To the Manor Born and Rumpole plays the Irish RM. That is also a comedy as is Good Neighbors. Good Neighbors has Penelope Keith and ,( it’s late, my mind is getting fuzzy) , the actor who played the Minister as the married neighbors of the young couple who set out to farming in the suburbs. It’s great and tmr. morning after a nights sleep I could give you all their names off the top of my head! LOL

Dry, I guess that’s a glitch then. The odds are in your favor of that not happening again to you. cleo, that’s a very nice gesture. I didn’t even think of that.

Well as Marg said, it is the witching hour, To stay and try for first a second time, or to sleep, per chance to dream, work tmr. dilemmas dilemmas! Who would like to be my proxy for the turnover?? LOL

Hi Marg! I will be going to bed very soon, my eyelids are getting very heavy. cleo, I love your sense of humor!

Hello my beautiful ladies. It is late, but I am not.

Yes dry duck and run!!

I have a feeling that I am going to be alone here in a minute.

Well common sense tells me to go to bed, and since JFri has disappeared and carmy is getting ready to nod, I’ll leave it to dawn and cleo to shoot for first

((((((((((((HUGs all)))))))))))))))))))))

Whoever’s gonna be first has about 5 minutes. As for me, I am outta here. Goodnight All! See you in several hours. P&L!

cleo take my proxy!! LOL!

Dry - You are taking the easy way out. Dawn is over fifteen minutes out on her post. I could pump you up for another victory, but … oh well, beddy by comes first.

BOO!!

Works for me!

Way to go guys! I had to read these to see what JFri was talking about. I’ll turn the page now.
