I am sure that bigg will have a spread but i will contribute with bangers and mash, fried eggs, crumpets with extra bitter orange marmalade, some kippers, cantaloupe, honeydew and blueberries.
Just stopped in to see what is going on. Just got back from league pool and I am really tired. I see most everyone has hit the sack also. I am going to do the same.
Hello Tribe!
We had a storm earlier and it knocked out my internet.
Today is “homecoming day.” I have to clean my bedroom which is currently a disaster zone. I’m going to bed late and getting up very early. I have to get to the grocery store before the “man” comes home. I’ll check in with you whenever I get a chance. Peace and Love to all!
I love wheat bread, the honey wheat is very good too!
I don’t know if you are all in bed now. Just thought I”d check in and say hi to you all before I turn in. Since my cousins fell asleep around 11:30 I had a little bit of time on my hands, so here I am. Just finished up part one of a new story I’m working on. It’s posted over at Pibgorn, check it out if you want.
Careful, Dusty. It’ll be decaf next! Nice breakfast spread as always, fellow tribemates! Here’s some fresh fruit nectars & juices. I think I found something for everyone.
Hi, Shika! Sorry, not as many late nights as I had when we were chatting before so will keep missing you.
Group hug for anyone who would care to participate.
Good Morning. Sorry I’m late. Had to mow the property before it gets hot here in Lovejoy. For breakfast as the comic suggest, some whole wheat bread and rice. Enjoy.
Good luck, Lonewolf!
Bigg, congrats on going back to work!
Josh, are you living in docT’s spare bedroom?
It’s 10:18 back East so I brought Krispy Kremes & pirate coffee. Leave that lemon filled one in the middle. It’s one hymenoxis found on the floor & put on the plate!
Speaking of heat, it is supposed to get real hot and humid here today! I love it! I think I’ll send some of the heat to doc since he likes the heat so much! :-D
Hi tabby, Very good point you have there! We best start on the procedures. And even if he would stay awake, men usually never do anything right anyway!
lol i wasnt even thinking it either. bleeep dry why didnt we think of that? oh and what was the flying object that just missed my head? dont tell Akenta she will start grabing the Pillows and tossing them around me.
DOc!! its invisible now!? what how did that happen? is that good or bad?
also you elders (you know who you are) the results are in on something. when i get a chance i will let you know.
Tabby, I think* doc’s partner in crime* (whose name I won’t mention, JFri) was already in the rum this morning! I know people do put it in their morning coffee!
Unobtainium is a humorous term that refers to an extremely rare, costly, or physically impossible material needed to fulfill a given design for a given application. The name is a portmanteau derived from unobtainable + -ium (the suffix for a number of elements). Variations include unobtanium and unattainium, with the same meaning. It is sometimes referred to as “element 404”, after the “HTTP 404 Not Found” error.
The properties of any particular “unobtainium” depend on the intended use. For example, a pulley made of unobtainium might be massless and frictionless. However, if used in a nuclear rocket, unobtainium would be light, strong at high temperatures, and resistant to radiation damage.
…
Another largely synonymous term includes wishalloy, although the sense is often subtly different in that a wishalloy usually doesn’t exist at all, whereas unobtainium may merely be unavailable. The term handwavium usually is used to indicate a material that probably cannot even in principle be real.
@doc, one problem with the pipeline: think of all the chances for leaks, and the delay in getting to them to fix them and do the cleanup. (Does the superfund have that much money?)
Now, if you could get something that lives in the coffee to do the leak checks and repair, that might work out better.
Hello all. I had to out and pick fruit, rake, weed whack and edge before it got to hot. Then I went for a swim and did some watering. It is bizarre. We are having the temps they usually get in the eastern part of the state, with each day progressinvely warmer than the last. Fires all over in the mountains in the east. It is scary.
You’re very welcome to come along, Dry. We have a little island nearby that is perfect for swimming off - little boat traffic. Bring our bathing suit - no Cleo you are not welcome if you come the way you prefer. If you have a Decent suit you are welcome!
you know those little juice things in the barrel contaniers they just dont taste as good as when i was little… way to much sugar i can taste it in it now. my tummy hurts form two sips. its crazy.
Doc
the flowers are amazing workers. good idea to recrute them.
I think over at Pearls Before Swine, either they have doc’s Nuclear Coffee, or else those unobtanium coffee cups really are bottomless. (Like Cleo’s suit?)
hello? Hello? HEllo? HELlo? HELLo? HELLO???? is any body out there? come in come in is there any body out there? this is crazy its been an hour since anyone was on here.
DawnAvril: The bike ride was fine, thanks. Way too muggy out though, even at 5:45 AM. May I join Dry at the swimming island? I haven’t been swimming in a good, clean lake since my parents died. The lakes back in IL weren’t the cleanest, too well used. Lake Michigan was always good, except when the water turned and it was ice cold! Br-rrrrrr
we come here evey day. we are from diffrent places and just came to enjoy the comics. but we ended up being a family and helping eachother out in times of need. we lean on one another and comfront eachohter. we are a big happy family. and we are called The Tribe.. only two rules here but i will not still Doc’s thunder he can tell you later.
First of all: Thank you all for the kind wishes that were said earlier about me getting the injection. You are all special.
Hearing did not improve at all yet. He did another painful injection and said if there is no improvement by next week, he would not recommend another injection. Then we wait 3 more months to see if there is any change. If not then I have to look at other options. Oh well!
The good thing about me having all of this done at the VA Hospital is that when I start thinking I have some bad problem all I have to do is look at the veterans that are being treated there. I walk around the place to take care of my appts. Many of them can’t. It makes you realize just how selfish we humans can be. After I got some depressed thoughts in my mind about my “problem”, I looked around and proceded to tell my sweety what a freakin’ fool I was. And a lot of other choice words which I don’t care to repeat.
Well, I will get off the soapbox now! Sorry if I am rambling.
I need to catch up on more comments. Can’t have a Jack and Coke, so I’ll need some of that Nuclear Coffee. BBL
Terry, Yes no matter how bad we think our lives may be at times, there is always someone worse off than we are. I think my kids came to appreciate that at a young age when we had school trips to the Shriners circus every year. So many of those poor children in wheelchairs, using oxygen tanks, chemo children, etc., it made my kids appreciate all that they had.
Scenario 1:
Jack goes quail hunting before school and pulls into the school parking lot with his shotgun in his truck’s gun rack..
1957 - Vice Principal comes over, looks at Jack’s shotgun, goes to his car and gets his new shotgun to show Jack.
2008 - School goes into lock down, FBI called, Jack hauled off to jail and never sees his truck or gun again. Counselors called in for traumatized students and teachers.
Scenario 2:
Johnny and Mark get into a fist fight after school.
1957 - Crowd gathers.. Mark wins. Johnny and Mark shake hands and end up buddies.
2008 - Police called and SWAT team arrives – they arrest both Johnny and Mark. They are both charged them with assault and both expelled even though Johnny started it.
Scenario 3:
Jeffrey will not be still in class, he disrupts other students.
1957 - Jeffrey sent to the Principal’s office and given a good paddling by the Principal. He then returns to class, sits still and does not disrupt class again..
2008 - Jeffrey is given huge doses of Ritalin. He becomes a zombie. He is then tested for ADD. The school gets extra money from the state because Jeffrey has a disability.
Scenario 4:
Billy breaks a window in his neighbor’s car and his Dad gives him a whipping with his belt.
1957 - Billy is more careful next time, grows up normal, goes to college and becomes a successful businessman.
2008 - Billy’s dad is arrested for child abuse. Billy is removed to foster care and joins a gang. The state psychologist is told by Billy’s sister that she remembers being abused herself and their dad goes to prison. Billy’s mom has an affair with the psychologist.
Scenario 5:
Mark gets a headache and takes some aspirin to school.
1957 - Mark shares his aspirin with the Principal out on the smoking dock.
2008 - The police are called and Mark is expelled from school for drug violations. His car is then searched for drugs and weapons.
Scenario 6:
Pedro fails high school English.
1957 - Pedro goes to summer school, passes English and goes to college.
2008 - Pedro’s cause is taken up by state. Newspaper articles appear nationally explaining that teaching English as a requirement for graduation is racist. ACLU files class action lawsuit against the state school system and Pedro’s English teacher . English is then banned from core curriculum. Pedro is given his diploma anyway but ends up mowing lawns for a living because he cannot speak English.
Scenario 7:
Johnny takes apart leftover firecrackers from the Fourth of July, puts them in a model airplane paint bottle and blows up a red ant bed..
1957 - Ants die.
2008 - ATF, Homeland Security and the FBI are all called. Johnny is charged with domestic terrorism. The FBI investigates his parents – and all siblings are removed from their home and all computers are confiscated. Johnny’s dad is placed on a terror watch list and is never allowed to fly again.
Scenario 8:
Johnny falls while running during recess and scrapes his knee. He is found crying by his teacher, Mary. Mary hugs him to comfort him.
1957 - In a short time, Johnny feels better and goes on playing.
2008 - Mary is accused of being a sexual predator and loses her job. She faces 3 years in State Prison. Johnny undergoes 5 years of therapy.
This should hit every email inbox to show how stupid we have become!!
AMEN TO THAT !!!!
@tabby, in many ways things make less sense now, as you said, even though these were extreme examples, naturally.
I think there are several reasons: a lack of community sense, so that we don’t support the discipline of others. A fear of others, and a hyperdeveloped fear of violence, probably because we have so much access to news. (In 1957, we wouldn’t have heard much about a school shooting for several days; now it becomes a media frenzy for several days.) A desire to control everything lest we get hurt. A greater appreciation of the damage that violence and trauma can do, and a desire to keep everyone safe from that psychological harm. I could go on, but that’s a start.
On the other hand, while life was more carefree, there were other problems. I know several youths who had brain damage because, well, that’s simply what happened in car or bike accidents sometimes. (No bike helmets; not all cars even had seatbelts, much less other safety features.)
Welcome to tribe alpep. I think I saw another new name, but couldn’t find, but you’re welcome here too.
Lonewolf I’ll put in another deposit in the bank for you and several more for the other vets that you saw.
We had a card go around the office today (for one of the sad piece of news from yesterday). I don’t know the lady we were sending it to, but I wrote that we were all had her in our thoughts. Her son was killed over the weekend, but I don’t know many details. For those who pray can you say one for Little Ricky’s mom.
yes welcome Dpetrill and it does make it easy when you post above us. lol and that must have been the good days. im only 19 and i wish i could have seen those days.
ill be getting off about 6 my time. so thats in about 10 mins or so…. depends on what time they get here. should be between 6 and 6:15
wow she called me mommy and i just said “what baby” not thinking then i looked at her and told her baby girl im not mommy you know that…. its so hard for her. poor baby.
I really have never thought my life was ever bad. It’s just that sometimes the little inconsequential things appear worse than they really are. I’ve always been lucky to be able to take reality as it truly is and to be happy with it.
Akenta, I will pray for your co-worker and her family! That is tragic news! I don’tknow this woman but my heart goes out to her. That is something she will never recover from, not completely, not ever!
Hi tabby Just a comment on 1957. That’s the year I was born. Bad things happened too. trust me, things are better in some ways. Less hiding things under the rug to save face.
Welcome alpep 22 Nice to see a friend of tabby’s here.

Actually Tabby, it’s 99 Bottles of Beer on the wall! Have you been hanging out with JFri and Cleo and the Pirate? You know they are a * BAD* influence!! ROFLMAO!!
Akenta i didnt see that one coming…. of all people to hit me with a pillow, when i saw it coming i was thinking you were putting it there for me to fall on…. but you got me you got me real good.
Well my hopes are dashed!! :-( If anybody out there cares, I just saw that Brett Favre turned down the Vikings and is staying retired. Part of me was worried about him coming back, that he would get hurt badly, or end up on his last year ever with a losing season, but a bigger part of me was hoping he would come back and show the world how GREAT he is!! And kick some A # # !! He is the GREATEST!! At least in my book!!
I missed shika’s request, I’ll leave you along about the change, but yours is the only avatar I remember to look at. cleo’s usually catches my eye for some reason.
I hope you connected the pipeline to the new silo for me Doc. Legal matters are all done for the crossing of the mississippi. I used the lawyers from Coors beer for the crossing east of the river. lol
I have informed Mr Spock that although I appreciate his kindness, I have no desires for a blog or a web page right now so he agreed to take it down. My stories however will continue over at Pibgorn.
If I’m lucky tonight to get back on the computer, then I’ll post part two of my story.
I’m up really late at night when I write these stories of mine.
tabbylynn i’m glad that you enjoyed the first part of my tale
When you wake up tomorrow go to pibgorn to see part 2 if I have it up.
Dry I think I just blew past yuo! Hold on, We can go really fast now that I’m stoked.
thanks Doc. I think that that gallon of coffee will do the trick so that no one will know that i drank 98 bottles of beer and so now i can just relax and enjoy blowing in the wind and you know just having funa and seeing the cuntryside go by in a blur and i feel fine now and i think this coffee is great and somebody help me please to stop becasue ia can’t seem to stop talking and this is not like me at all because ia am the quiet type you know and i just never talk this much………………..
We have sane posters here? Oh the ignomy of it all!
What next? Polite quiet little people who talk in sensible sentences and use words like, “After you, I insist.” “No, no, after YOU, please.” “No, no, no YOU go first.”
My recommendation would be to use the old elementary school pencil leads as control rods…thicker, and more carbon. If you’re going to go cheap, that is.
Doc & JFri only carry the CO area for the Nuclear Coffee. I’ve got the Central states and I’m trying to get Alice Cooper, Kieth Richards and Mick Jagger to handle the eastern states. Look out cruel world!
We may talk of gin and beer
When we’re quartered safe out here,
Or go to Penny fights in Aldershotit;
But when your work slaughter,
You’ll do your work on water
And lick the blooming boots
Of him that’s got it.
Terry, Look what Alice Cooper, Keith Richards and MIck Jagger look like today. Are you saying Doc’s coffee had an effect on them? Like I said before,* BE AFRAID, BE VERY AFRAID!*!
The “giving birth” thing is a warning about the passing on of radiation-induced genetic mutations. It’s not the radiated creature you need to worry about…(stomp)…it’s their offspring. (squish)
You see, it’s not the irradiated animal itself that presents the problem; it’s the mutated genes passed down as a result of the radiation. (stomp) Now, if the irradiated animal is carrying radiation on its fur or within its body, you gotta worry…(squish)…but if it’s fifty foot squirrels you’re worried about, we’ve got a good six months before we need to worry. (eradicate)
DOC, why are you playing “cut and run”? Guilty as charged!! Now we need to find JFri and charge him as well! Nuclear coffee indeed! Coffee that melts the ice caps, etc. There is NO GLOBAL WARMING! It’s DOCS COFFEE!!!
Read it with a heavy British accent. I had an English teacher in middle school who was from Virginia, and she tried to read it to the class in very correct English. She didn’t get through the first stanza before I stood up and told her she was wrong. She told me to read it myself, out loud, and I did. It needs a heavy Cockney accent, and imagine that it’s someone in a pub telling you about his experience.
Well I hate to be an early parteeeey pooper, but the side of my head is killing me from the injection, so I need to find my meds and try to sleep.
Peace and Love to All and to All a Good Night.
Goodnight, sweetheart, well, it’s time to go,
Goodnight, sweetheart, well, it’s time to go,
I hate to leave you, but I really must say,
Goodnight, sweetheart, goodnight.
“I shan’t forget the night
When I fell behind the fight,
A bullet where my beltplate should have been.
I was chokin’, mad with thirst
And the man what spied me first
Was our good ol’ grinnin’, gruntin’
Gunga Din”
“He carried me away
To where a doolie lay
And a bullet come and drilled the bugger clean.
He layed me safe inside,
And, just before he died,
‘I hope you liked your drink’ said Gunga Din.”
There are no silly questions….only silly people. I happen to enjoy the company of silly people.
No, I’m from Texas, but I’ve traveled a bit.
I performed the poem in a speech class in high school, and annoyed the teacher, who, again, thought the poem should be read in Victorian English. I sat her down and showed her the many contractions and grammatical errors in the poem, and she finally gave me an “A”.
hymenoxis, yes the film was 1939 and it starred Errol Flynn. I take it you aren’t a fan of movies? I would read more, used to, but don’t have the time anymore, :-(
hymenoxis, aren’t ALL movies based loosely on facts? But whatever, those films had great actors and a great storyline that kept you entertained! Oh yes, and based on total fiction but what a GREAT concept, Kelley’s Heroes!
I think there may be some truth to “Kelly’s Heroes”…although I doubt Donald Sutherland’s character actually existed. Seems anachronistic to me. Entertaining movie, though. Especially Don Rickles.
Hello Tribe. I may be scarce for awhile, although if temps cool down I will try to post, but will do no reading of previous posts. It is 86 degrees in our coolest room. Our computer is in the hottest room with two windows in direct sunlight almost all day long. Even with windows open and blinds pulled it is miserable. So, I will try to check in when temps allow. Miss you guys.
I just told everyone over at Pibgorn to stop talking about the ladywolf/Mr Spock thing I have resolved the matter earlier, but they kept on talking about me. I don’t want other people to get mad and accuse me of hijacking the site.
Ladywolf - no one thinks you’re “hijacking” anything. “Mr Spock” crossed a line and he corrected himself. It’s over and done. And you handled it with grace, dignity and tact.
Best advice I can give someone is this: not everything one thinks needs to come out the mouth (or the fingers) for everyone to see at the moment it’s thought. It’s a lesson I had to learn. I had a friend, many years ago, tell me that when he was quiet, everyone thought he was the smartest guy in the group. And… he was. Chatter is fun, but it loses something in writing. You’re a good storyteller because you think before presenting the writing (yourself) to the public. That’s a good trait to have in all aspects of your life. You seem like a good person. You’re dad’s a lucky guy to have you around. Keep doing good.

Good Morning. Sorry I’m late. Had to mow the property before it gets hot here in Lovejoy. For breakfast as the comic suggest, some whole wheat bread and rice. Enjoy.
The Duke 1 over 15 years ago
Good luck, Lonewolf! Bigg, congrats on going back to work! Josh, are you living in docT’s spare bedroom?
It’s 10:18 back East so I brought Krispy Kremes & pirate coffee. Leave that lemon filled one in the middle. It’s one hymenoxis found on the floor & put on the plate!
And a healthy donation to the Tribal Bank!
Dry and Dusty Premium Member over 15 years ago
Josh, There used to be a British mystery called Lovejoy. Good show! Ian McShane was the star. i don’t know if it is still on tv or not.
Dry and Dusty Premium Member over 15 years ago
Speaking of heat, it is supposed to get real hot and humid here today! I love it! I think I’ll send some of the heat to doc since he likes the heat so much! :-D

JFri, thanks for the warning! I was going to grab that lemon one! (Now I’ll bet you wished you had kept your mouth shut!!! ROFLMAO!!)

Hi tabby, Very good point you have there! We best start on the procedures. And even if he would stay awake, men usually never do anything right anyway!
(Incoming, duck Tabby!)
Dry and Dusty Premium Member over 15 years ago
Hey, doc, I didn’t say anything, wasn’t even thinking that! ;-D
tabbylynn over 15 years ago
lol i wasnt even thinking it either. bleeep dry why didnt we think of that? oh and what was the flying object that just missed my head? dont tell Akenta she will start grabing the Pillows and tossing them around me.
DOc!! its invisible now!? what how did that happen? is that good or bad?
also you elders (you know who you are) the results are in on something. when i get a chance i will let you know.
The Duke 1 over 15 years ago
docT, I have made an extra capacity silo out of unobtainium for your coffe. It should arrive (ding dong) about now!
Dry and Dusty Premium Member over 15 years ago
What the hey is unobtainium?
Tabby, I think* doc’s partner in crime* (whose name I won’t mention, JFri) was already in the rum this morning! I know people do put it in their morning coffee!
tabbylynn over 15 years ago
Dry thats what im thinking wha is unobtainium and how did you learn to spell that? lol

Unobtainium is a humorous term that refers to an extremely rare, costly, or physically impossible material needed to fulfill a given design for a given application. The name is a portmanteau derived from unobtainable + -ium (the suffix for a number of elements). Variations include unobtanium and unattainium, with the same meaning. It is sometimes referred to as “element 404”, after the “HTTP 404 Not Found” error.
The properties of any particular “unobtainium” depend on the intended use. For example, a pulley made of unobtainium might be massless and frictionless. However, if used in a nuclear rocket, unobtainium would be light, strong at high temperatures, and resistant to radiation damage.
…
Another largely synonymous term includes wishalloy, although the sense is often subtly different in that a wishalloy usually doesn’t exist at all, whereas unobtainium may merely be unavailable. The term handwavium usually is used to indicate a material that probably cannot even in principle be real.

bmonk over 15 years ago
@doc, one problem with the pipeline: think of all the chances for leaks, and the delay in getting to them to fix them and do the cleanup. (Does the superfund have that much money?)
Now, if you could get something that lives in the coffee to do the leak checks and repair, that might work out better.
cleokaya over 15 years ago
Hello all. I had to out and pick fruit, rake, weed whack and edge before it got to hot. Then I went for a swim and did some watering. It is bizarre. We are having the temps they usually get in the eastern part of the state, with each day progressinvely warmer than the last. Fires all over in the mountains in the east. It is scary.
tabbylynn over 15 years ago
they look pretty bad, but i hope they come back to life when its all done.
DawnAvril over 15 years ago
Love it BMonk and unfortunately you could probably post it on Wikipedia and it would be believed!

DawnAvril: The bike ride was fine, thanks. Way too muggy out though, even at 5:45 AM. May I join Dry at the swimming island? I haven’t been swimming in a good, clean lake since my parents died. The lakes back in IL weren’t the cleanest, too well used. Lake Michigan was always good, except when the water turned and it was ice cold! Br-rrrrrr

COWBOY7 over 15 years ago
Hello Tribe
First of all: Thank you all for the kind wishes that were said earlier about me getting the injection. You are all special.
Hearing did not improve at all yet. He did another painful injection and said if there is no improvement by next week, he would not recommend another injection. Then we wait 3 more months to see if there is any change. If not then I have to look at other options. Oh well!
The good thing about me having all of this done at the VA Hospital is that when I start thinking I have some bad problem all I have to do is look at the veterans that are being treated there. I walk around the place to take care of my appts. Many of them can’t. It makes you realize just how selfish we humans can be. After I got some depressed thoughts in my mind about my “problem”, I looked around and proceded to tell my sweety what a freakin’ fool I was. And a lot of other choice words which I don’t care to repeat.
Well, I will get off the soapbox now! Sorry if I am rambling.
I need to catch up on more comments. Can’t have a Jack and Coke, so I’ll need some of that Nuclear Coffee. BBL
tabbylynn over 15 years ago
okay we are having left overs form last night. beef roast thing a ma gig and mixed veggies. with grapes, strawberries, and cantalope on the side.
also just got off the phone with my grand mother and she is taking me tomorrrow to get my licens. Thank God.
Dry and Dusty Premium Member over 15 years ago
Terry, Yes no matter how bad we think our lives may be at times, there is always someone worse off than we are. I think my kids came to appreciate that at a young age when we had school trips to the Shriners circus every year. So many of those poor children in wheelchairs, using oxygen tanks, chemo children, etc., it made my kids appreciate all that they had.

dpetrill over 15 years ago
MrSpock, great website, I’d love to have the program capabilities for myself - but the girl in question is underage. Get my point?
bmonk over 15 years ago
@tabby, in many ways things make less sense now, as you said, even though these were extreme examples, naturally.
I think there are several reasons: a lack of community sense, so that we don’t support the discipline of others. A fear of others, and a hyperdeveloped fear of violence, probably because we have so much access to news. (In 1957, we wouldn’t have heard much about a school shooting for several days; now it becomes a media frenzy for several days.) A desire to control everything lest we get hurt. A greater appreciation of the damage that violence and trauma can do, and a desire to keep everyone safe from that psychological harm. I could go on, but that’s a start.
On the other hand, while life was more carefree, there were other problems. I know several youths who had brain damage because, well, that’s simply what happened in car or bike accidents sometimes. (No bike helmets; not all cars even had seatbelts, much less other safety features.)

Her son was killed over the weekend, but I don’t know many details. For those who pray can you say one for Little Ricky’s mom.

Well my hopes are dashed!! :-( If anybody out there cares, I just saw that Brett Favre turned down the Vikings and is staying retired. Part of me was worried about him coming back, that he would get hurt badly, or end up on his last year ever with a losing season, but a bigger part of me was hoping he would come back and show the world how GREAT he is!! And kick some A # # !! He is the GREATEST!! At least in my book!!

Hi everyone,
I have informed Mr Spock that although I appreciate his kindness, I have no desires for a blog or a web page right now so he agreed to take it down. My stories however will continue over at Pibgorn.
If I’m lucky tonight to get back on the computer, then I’ll post part two of my story.
I’m up really late at night when I write these stories of mine.
tabbylynn i’m glad that you enjoyed the first part of my tale When you wake up tomorrow go to pibgorn to see part 2 if I have it up.
Dry and Dusty Premium Member over 15 years ago
Doc, Shika doesn’t need your coffee! I suspect some of your coffee was in that bottle of beer she drank!
And I said RUN LIKE THE WIND, not with the wind!! RUN FAST, WITH THE WIND AT YOUR BACK!!
Fangs on a dandelion? What all is in that coffee, Doc?

I think that that gallon of coffee will do the trick so that no one will know that i drank 98 bottles of beer and so now i can just relax and enjoy blowing in the wind and you know just having funa and seeing the cuntryside go by in a blur and i feel fine now and i think this coffee is great and somebody help me please to stop becasue ia can’t seem to stop talking and this is not like me at all because ia am the quiet type you know and i just never talk this much………………..

Do you know anyone who’s sane? I know you can be as crazy as anyone here, don’t try to hide it. ROFLMAO
hymenoxis over 15 years ago
Shika- “Acute Radiation Poisoning.”
The “giving birth” thing is a warning about the passing on of radiation-induced genetic mutations. It’s not the radiated creature you need to worry about…(stomp)…it’s their offspring. (squish)
Shikamoo Premium Member over 15 years ago
Terry What do you mean “Do we have another poster named shika here?”
What kind of crack is that?
Shikamoo Premium Member over 15 years ago
Ah, thanks Hymenoxis. Er, where will you put your shoes when you finish here?
Just asking.
hymenoxis over 15 years ago
You see, it’s not the irradiated animal itself that presents the problem; it’s the mutated genes passed down as a result of the radiation. (stomp) Now, if the irradiated animal is carrying radiation on its fur or within its body, you gotta worry…(squish)…but if it’s fifty foot squirrels you’re worried about, we’ve got a good six months before we need to worry. (eradicate)
Dry and Dusty Premium Member over 15 years ago

hymenoxis over 15 years ago
Shika-
Read it with a heavy British accent. I had an English teacher in middle school who was from Virginia, and she tried to read it to the class in very correct English. She didn’t get through the first stanza before I stood up and told her she was wrong. She told me to read it myself, out loud, and I did. It needs a heavy Cockney accent, and imagine that it’s someone in a pub telling you about his experience.
Dry and Dusty Premium Member over 15 years ago
Shika, don’t read the book Gunga Din. Watch the movie!!

I’d love to hear it read like that Hymenoxis. I’ll bet your teacher wondered what was happening.
Are you British- or is that a silly question?
hymenoxis over 15 years ago
There are no silly questions….only silly people. I happen to enjoy the company of silly people.
No, I’m from Texas, but I’ve traveled a bit.
I performed the poem in a speech class in high school, and annoyed the teacher, who, again, thought the poem should be read in Victorian English. I sat her down and showed her the many contractions and grammatical errors in the poem, and she finally gave me an “A”.
hymenoxis over 15 years ago
If you do read the poem, imagine it’s a story being told by an old man in a smokey bar in England. It makes much more sense.
Dry and Dusty Premium Member over 15 years ago
hymenoxis, I must confess I never read Gunga Din, but the movie is one of my all time favorites! Did you happen to see it?
Dry and Dusty Premium Member over 15 years ago
And while we are on movies, because of me, what about Stalag 17, The Great Escape, Bridge on the River Kwai?
hymenoxis over 15 years ago
I think I saw an Errol Flynn effort from the thirties or early forties…is that it?
Shikamoo Premium Member over 15 years ago
I think that’s great. A Texan showing a teacher a thing or too about the English. I’d still love to hear you read it.
Amazing that you got an “A”. that’s perseverance and chutzpah. Not everyone would do what you did, but you sere smart to do it.

Oh yeah, Stalag 17, The Great Escape, Bridge on the River Kwai. Three great favorite movies.
Dry and Dusty Premium Member over 15 years ago
hymenoxis, yes the film was 1939 and it starred Errol Flynn. I take it you aren’t a fan of movies? I would read more, used to, but don’t have the time anymore, :-(
hymenoxis over 15 years ago
“Stalag 17”….loosely based on actual facts. To continue your education, read Joseph Heller’s “Catch 22.”
“The Great Escape”…again, loosely based on a POW escape in France, I think…I’d do Steve McQueen, and I’m not even gay.
“Bridge on the River Kwai”….again, loosely based on actual incidents. Myriad books on the subject. I suggest Google.
Dry and Dusty Premium Member over 15 years ago
Yes Terry, they were, and I know I am missing some ohters! Have a good night!
hymenoxis over 15 years ago
I do enjoy movies. I think I’m a bit quirky, though.

Dry and Dusty Premium Member over 15 years ago
hymenoxis, aren’t ALL movies based loosely on facts? But whatever, those films had great actors and a great storyline that kept you entertained! Oh yes, and based on total fiction but what a GREAT concept, Kelley’s Heroes!

I think there may be some truth to “Kelly’s Heroes”…although I doubt Donald Sutherland’s character actually existed. Seems anachronistic to me. Entertaining movie, though. Especially Don Rickles.

dpetrill over 15 years ago
Ladywolf - no one thinks you’re “hijacking” anything. “Mr Spock” crossed a line and he corrected himself. It’s over and done. And you handled it with grace, dignity and tact.
Best advice I can give someone is this: not everything one thinks needs to come out the mouth (or the fingers) for everyone to see at the moment it’s thought. It’s a lesson I had to learn. I had a friend, many years ago, tell me that when he was quiet, everyone thought he was the smartest guy in the group. And… he was. Chatter is fun, but it loses something in writing. You’re a good storyteller because you think before presenting the writing (yourself) to the public. That’s a good trait to have in all aspects of your life. You seem like a good person. You’re dad’s a lucky guy to have you around. Keep doing good.
