Big Top by Rob Harrell for July 18, 2009

Poor Wink.

I wonder if Wink got an ear transplant. Oh no, now he’s a one eyed, one eared bear.

bigg, oops, you missed “first” by 2 minutes. The breakfast looks good. :)

Okay my lovely tribe, we have chilaquiles, black beans, brown rice, pico de gallo, cilantro and lime.

I’ll have the black beans and some fruit if you have any.

How about some papitos con huevos too?

I’m bringing huevos rancheros. Any takers?

I don’t trust chorizo. Eggs and salsa on a tortilla works….

When was the last time you cleaned this dining table?

(wipe, wipe)

This is The City. It was 8:00 PM in Redding and still 100 degrees. Me & my partner were working homocide. The heat was MURDER! DUM DE DUM DUM

Clean hymenoxisd.? Does not compute.

A call came in….domestic violence. I looked at my partner…he rolled his eyes.

11:14 PM. My partner & I are checking out a lead in Sacramento. Clearly someone has turned up the thermostat. My job: find them. I carry a badge. Dum de dum dum da

No kidding, cleo. Someone needs to empty Doc’s cat’s litter box….

(empty, empty)

Woof…yick….gah.

By the way…Wifey Bits is back from Seattle…she brought me smoked salmon and smoked oysters. I love her, and will give her favors in the morning.

(scrub, scrub)

Today’s breakfast had better have Nasty Pancakes.

(sweep)

Good morning everyone!! I think bigg has caught on about the breakfast, but I missed that menu. farren do I want to ask what Nasty Pancakes are? hymenoxis does more than his share of cleaning, but we’re a hard group to keep up on some days.

Any body out here Doctor Who, Torchwood, and/or Sarah Jane fans. The new Torchwood mini-season starts Monday night on BBC America, and I’m getting excited to see it. Looks like it will be really good.

DocT did you work last night? I wasn’t sure if you were starting then or tonight.

Good luck DocT we’ll try and keep the noise down. I think Dry said she was busy today, so no one will wake you up. Though I think Shika might have some horns.

Does this mean Wink is becoming a purple-people-eater? O, never mind. Morning all! Hope the weekend is good to everyone. I’m with you Akenta on Torchwood. Looking forward to the new season! I’m going to look up chilaquiles & Nasty Pancakes…they both sound somewhere between ominous & intriguing. BBL.

Good Morning all.

doctortoon - Going back to work to find empty freezers, showing the lack of your care. Shudder, shudder, shake.

Akenta -I’m sorry. I have seen a few Doctor Who episodes, but the other two series that you mention I have never heard of. Are they recent? I haven’t had TV in 4 or 5 years.

hymenoxis - Good job, as usual. You deserve a raise. Oh, wait, do we pay you. Good job. (pat, pat)

Good morning! Do to my ignorance, I haven’t the foggiest idea what most of the items are on the menu. I will take some of everything.

Morning guys, should be a nice day today, perhaps we’ll get a little rain since the blasted three digit heat wave has passed.

Everyone else is in a heatwave, and I haven’t seen the blasted sun in such a long time that I forgot what it looks like.

johnnyd it’s been nice in the Atlanta area - low 80s today, tomorrow, and Monday - got the windows open and enjoying the fresh air.

docT sending more good luck your way

cleo Torchwood and Sarah Jane are two Doctor Who spinoffs. Sarah Jane was directed more at children and had children starring along with her (she’s from the original doctor who - 4th doctor, I think). Torchwood is definitely geared more toward adults and I think there was even one ep that had an MA rating. All have the same type of humor and adventure running through them. Most plots are about saving the world (or sometimes just a city).

Here, take some of our rain, and our cooler temperatures.

Hi Akenta! the rain and cooler temps were for Doc and Rad. I have watched Doctor Who before, and enjoy it, but I don’t watch it regularly enough.

it is going to be another lovely day here. We need rain here, but if it comes, I would prefer it to rain at night and then be sunny when I got up.

Goodmorning to all!! Can’t complain about our weather, except its not humid. Temps in the 80’s nice breeze, sunny day, should be lovely for my friend’s big day.

Good morning all…and happy byrthdey wishes to all I have missed over the past week…I hope all your days were and are filled w/sunshine and rain for those who prefer… hymenoxis: that vase that spilled….sure is smelly…and the bowl is soggy…..tyme to give it a good cleaning also …lol

Again I forgot! I meant to comment on poor wink! Poor little guy! It’s all your fault dusty!

“More Morphine, please - & heavy on the BOO BOO HONEY!

……….ya nasty little pancake.

Nasty little pancake?

Nasty little pancake, hmm, think I’ll try that out on my sweetie. If it goes over like a lead balloon I’ll try some of the boo boo honey.

Looks like Dick Tracy is going to have a circus arc. If anyone is get really bored over the next 4-6 months, you can check it out. I still read it, but I have no idea why. Used to for the comments, but that was before I found the tribe.

Good afternoon everyone

It’s raining off and on here, temps in the mid 70’s. I wish I would of had enough time yesterday to mow the front lawn.

Hope everyone has a great day today. :)

Good afternoon all. Way too late for breakfast, but hot dogs and chips for all.

Loved Dr. Who (the original 1/2 hours, cliffhanger, cheesy special effects ones), but don’t get BBC America. Too cheap to buy/rent all the converters to get digital cable and not about to replace TVs that still work.

Hi RadK !!

AKENTA: ‘Dr. Who’ starts on BBC America on July 26th.

I think that’s one of the movies they are doing for Doctor Who before they switch doctors, might be a couple of more after this one. They just showed the xmas episode a few weeks ago and that was enjoyable. The one on the 26th looks like it will be good too. Thanks for reminding me about it marg

Hit a chilly 112 in the shade at lunch/gas stop! The problem? There WAS no shade!!

Sorry Akenta, after my last post I went outside and returned to find your answer and Me missus said, “Are you ready to go to the office”? So here I am. It got no higher than 95 and is 75° right now with a real thundrstorm and the little grasses is in the yard dancing and singing in the rain.

It’s ok RadK, i just didn’t want you hitting the F5 key again with nothing showing

“The Tribe” is nomadic and can be seen anywhere. (just walk lightly around SOTU)

Is another colony being started at Overboard?

Hey, we’re not going to start any TURF WARS with denizens from various colonies commenting around are we? Would that make us “TOON MERCENARIES”?

OK, wifey is ready to go back home so I gotta sign off from the office.

BBL

I think groups might be forming wherever gmartin claims it non-chat area.

(opens door)

ECHO! ….

(no sound)

Even the echo is out today.

Hello-O-o-O-o-O-o!!! OK, I’ll just look in on Pibgorn and slip over to facebook for awile.

HELLO!

hello?

Funny echo here.

I’ll post tomorrow evening. I just got in. I’ll be out all day tomorrow.

Chilly and cloudy here 14oC for the weather watchers.

Probably no one home at 10:20pm EDT, but thought I’d say hello and drop off some Krispy Kreams for late night snack or early breakfast.

Akenta I LOVE Dr. Who & Torchwood. Sarah Jane Chronicles were ok. I also catch Primeval, which is about time/space anomolies which open between the past and present into today. They killed off a main character in the middle (not the end, the middle!! ) because the critters are quite nasty…especially the 2 legged ones. There’s one starting next Saturday about vampires….along the lines of True Blood but it does look different.

I love BBC America.

Hi everybody I just missed!

Hello and goodnight! Wedding was wonderful! See ya all, tmr. Wonder who will post first? Bet we hear from gmartin at some point, unless the numbers pick up! LOL

Just checking this comic out for a change. Nothing else to do for the moment.

Hi and good night Dry! As for gmartin, I never pay attention to him anyhow.

Dare I ask what gmartin did? The one I’m not fond of is that smoozeminkey fella’ who has insulted my daughter a couple of times. And yet she has never flagged him once. Hope I spelled his name right, but if I didn’t OH WELL!

HI wolfbyte36!

gmartin is a guy who comes and complains that we talk too much. He complains at other sites too.

Maybe I see things through rose colored glasses, but I actually think gmartin has softened quite a bit.

Quaby thanks for the Krispy Kreams! I love them and they have closed the Canadian outlets. Haven’t watched Dr. Who or Torchwood but did watch True Love and enjoyed it. But my favorite show recently was Boston Legal. Wish they didn’t cancel it.

Hi Dawn! Have a good night at work doc.

BTW had a great trip home. For a change we didn’t see any accidents, major construction or take downs (yes one trip we were surrounded by RCMP with rifles drawn, stopping the car directly in front of us)

CYA tomorrow DocT and hi JDoc!

Hope all is well, Shika. I know you’ve had a lousy day. Take care.

Where did you go Dawn?

Back to Calgary to see my kids and Dad. We were gone for two and a half weeks.

Doc

I’m back. (Was there any doubt?)

I Just saw you comment and avatar.

(((DOC)))

Does that answer your question? That does look like Mua. Can I have that for my photos when you finish with it? Mua say meow-purr.

Really? I think I remember seeing you around… I am not sure though. My brain was kinda sleep deprived this past week, and I started missing things. Hi Shika!

Hi Dawn. Welcome home.

Dry- Glad your wedding went well. You must be tired.

Still here johnnydoc?

Have a good night at work Doc.

Hi Wolfbyte36. good to see you here.

You too hymenoxis! You’ve made a clean sweep of things! ;-)

Cleo- ?

I was online off and on - more off than on while I was there. But I just stop in occasionally so it probably seemed about normal.

Thanks Shika.

Dry it does sound like you had fun.

Yes I am still here. How are you?

Yesterday (a hearing)was really rough. Not the outcome I expected, and I was cloistered from 9:30a.m. to 4:00p.m. with short breaks to cry, eat or washroom break.- not in that order necessarily.

Then I went to the visitation of my friend’s Dad Bill and his funeral this morning. His twin brothers and two other brothers were there from Cape Breton- It was like being in a room with clones of Bill at different ages. It was un-nerving and strangely comforting at the same time. Sort of like talking to him all over again.

Bill was a great guy- funny, caring, strong faith and someone everyone loved. We’ll all miss him.

Thanks for listening.

johnny Tired, and I should try to get some sleep now. I think I’m over-exhausted from the last two days, and tomorrow is another long day. but I’m hanging in, and had a good long talk with a friend I haven’t seen in a while today.

How was your day?

Wink looks like I feel. No wonder he’s hallucinating! Dusty looks pretty alarmed. So would I.

Poor Wink!

So sorry to hear about the hearing and that the outcome was not what you expected. Hope that doesn’t mean trouble for you. But interesting about the brothers. Was the twin faternal or identical?

Sorry to hear about your weekend. (((Shika))) My weekend was not quite as eventful. I was supposed to work today, but since I am a seasonal, I do not get first priority so I got bumped. Instead, I did… well… nothing, but that was good too, because I got paid for it. Oh, wait, I didn’t. >:[ Oh well.

Looks like everyone’s gone to bed. That’s were I’m headed now.

Good night Tribe.

Pace et amore, I think. Probably mixed languages there.

Shika, if that is what you feel like, perhaps you should get some sleep. I don’t know if that is two languages or not, but I think I can figure it out. Good night, and peace and love to you too.

Sleep well, Shika. Hope tomorrow goes better for you.

Dawn- Of course, your post showed when I refreshed. Bill is -was five years older than the twins. They are fraternal. And then there was another brother, that brother’s sone there- they ALL looked like Bill. Except two were sort of brown-skinned, so we sort of wondered it there is native blood in there somewhere. Bill is Ukranian-or maybe it’s his wife who is. Bill’s family is from cape Breton, on the Cabot Trail. We wondered why Bill moved to Toronto in his twenties.

That may be a mystery. Jen says she hasn’t seen her uncles for 30 years.

There may be trouble for me Dawn- to early to tell. Can’t say at any rate. Thank for asking.

Thanks johnny. I needed that. hug.

Night…….ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ

You have my prayers. ((Shika!))

Your welcome, and I hope that your hearing doesn’t cause too much trouble.

Well I am off to bed too. Good night Dawn and anyone else who may still be awake. P&L.

‘Night, JDoc. sleep well.

Guess I’ll toddle off now too. Cy’all in the morn.
