Big Top by Rob Harrell for July 28, 2009

Dusty needs wonder bread to be happy.

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.

Hey guys:

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.

Nice breakfast spreads, Cleo and Bigg.

I’ll have to catch some of that in the AM.

Good Night

‘Nite, TERRY. Sleep well.

Oh yum! I’ll have some crumpets with the bitter orange marmalade, and some iced chai and melon. Thanks guys!

Hello in advance to all the AM crew. Akenta should be the first one to show up.

G’Night Marg

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!

Carmy, is your hubby home? If so, good for you!!!

bigg - Good for you. Have a good first day of work.

bigg, same here.

Carmy, tell him ‘Hi’ from all the Yappy Nuts.

Goodnight, All.

carmy - If hubby is home I imagine you will be scarce. Have a good time.

Marg - Goodnight. I am heading off to dreamland as well. A salute to the first of the morning crew. Hello you

He’ll be home in a few hours. I will most definitely relay the “Hi” from the Yappy Nuts. Thank you.

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.

Good morning and Happy Tuesday!!!

ladywolf I remember when I used to be able to stay up as late as you. Now 10 is a challenge.

Great breakfast Bigg and Cleo.

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.

I warned you yesterday Dusty! Be afraid!

Morning all!

Akenta, are you saying you’re getting old? 10:00? LOL

Carmy HAVE FUN!!!!

Good Morning Tribe

Got to get ready early today. More hospital appts. today. AND I get my second eardrum needle injection. (OUCH!)

Will check in when I get back this afternoon.

Terry hope all goes well today!

Morning all!

Bigg3469 - Dusty, Wheat Bread is good for you? I prefer mine without the dust… :()¦

Everything looks good, but how come the dollar pancakes are shrinking? I thought we were starting to pull out of the recession…

(((Lonewolf))) Here’s hoping it won’t hurt much.

Lonewolf - Good luck today buddy.

Yes Terry here’s to hoping that it won’t hurt too much and that the treatment will be successful!

Just a quick deposit to the Tribal bank for anyone who could use it. RL’s been good to me lately & I’d like to share…and so has the tribe!

P&L all!

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!

And a healthy donation to the Tribal Bank!

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.

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!!)

(RATS!!! Wish I hadn’t said anything!) Ummm, no, Dry, not at all!

*JFri * :-P

Doc, do you think evacuation procedures should begin??

good morning all. its been slow here today. normaly at 10:22 my time we are half way done with page two. whats going on?

Carmy enjoy the time with your husband.

Doc keep that coffee under control.

Dry i think we should work on the plans and procedures just incase. you know doc he may fall asleep and it go

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!)

Hey, doc, I didn’t say anything, wasn’t even thinking that! ;-D

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.

docT, I have made an extra capacity silo out of unobtainium for your coffe. It should arrive (ding dong) about now!

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!

Dry thats what im thinking wha is unobtainium and how did you learn to spell that? lol

also Dry he who must not be named JFRI stays in the rum, we all know that.

From Wikipedia:

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.

I need to go rummage through the freezer and see what kind of Stouffers is in there! Lunchtime here! BBL

Truly GREAT minds know what unobtanium is!

All I have to say is:

bmonk thanks for that deff. Dry enjoy your lunch and toss me some. Jfri stop cheating. :0P doc did you fix it?

how did i forget to say good morning to you two and wish you both a great day? sorry have a great day and good morning, almost afternoon now

i hope you enjoy your time with your hubsand and the girls as well. we will miss you, but go and spend time with him.

you two get that under control im starting to get worried, could be why the neighbors flowers are dying.

what are we going to do with them two? they are worse then kids. i sware.

To all of the tribe that i have missed Hello and good day to you all.

@tabby, I cheated, and even more flagrantly than Jfri did. He he he…

lol bmonk i know but its all good. lol

@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.

they look pretty bad, but i hope they come back to life when its all done.

Love it BMonk and unfortunately you could probably post it on Wikipedia and it would be believed!

Is there any raspberry tea from last night Dry? Always wanted to know how to make it. I love it!

Are there any crumpets left, Bigg? And Cleo if you have any smoothies left, I’d love one.

Hey, Shika, I’m going to miss you again today but you do have a bad habit of talking to yourself - or are there two or three of you Yikes!!!!

Marg, how was biking?

Jfri glad whatever emergency it was turned out ok and that baby is well. Pics?

We’re off boating - too hot here to do any work. Cya

Dawn your off boating? take me with you. lol its been so long since i did that.

Unobtainium or not

Carmy

Dawn we are all chearing of carmy. lol

ill bbl i need to get moving i get ana in 27 mins. so i have things i need to do. see you all soon P&L all

dawn, off boating?? I’ll tell you how to make raspberry tea if you take me along!!!

And as for you,cleo it’s too be hot and humid here all week, so after I go boating with dawn, I’ll be out to your lake sometime this week!! LOL

JFri

So there!!

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!

Tabby I’m glad last night went well.

Oops I pulled another Shika BBML

That’s ok Dawn, Hymenoxis will likely be in later and can clean it up for you… :()¦

Dawn thanks. he did well with Ana so its good.

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.

the flowers are amazing workers. good idea to recrute them.

Mr.Spock wow that is so kind of you. she is going to love it. thanks. you are very nice.

Night Doc sleep well.

Mr.Spock that is so cool looking Lady you have to tell me the rest of the story. ugh i hate that its killing me now. lol

Nite Doc

Mr. Spock - Great idea you’ve got.

Dawn - I have a decent suit. I got it on my birthday. ;)

doctortoon - I fear your coffee will create an international incident.

I missed you, and * Doc*! Darn! Well I do have a paying job that needs tended to, as well!

Hey doc, what time do you want your wake up call?

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?)

im still here… in and out. ana is here now so you know how that goes.

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

Tabby, I’m here, but I’m leaving to go cruise the rest of the comics.

MrSpock: I hope that you posted this information at ‘Pibgorn’, too.

HI marg hurry back. lol

mr.Spock our marg is a very smart person she thinks of things we dont. :D thats one reason we love her.

ana is sitting in my lap singing strange songs but they are cute.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dUyTZlJnRns

Dry where are you at??? i know you have a JOB, but i miss you.

Hi tabby, you sound lonely.

Hear that echo …cho…cho…ho…ho..o.o.o?

“♫I don’t want to work,♪ ♪I want to bang on the drum all day;♫♪ ♫I don’t want to play,♫ ♪I just want to bang on the drum all day!♪”

Tabby Thank you for the nice thing you said.

There’s nothing cuter than a little one sitting and singing songs that they are making up as they go along.

Leaving the comments boards now, bye!

hi

lol hey Bmonk

you did it Alpep22

okay all i sware to you that Alpep22 is not a trol invited her here she is one of my friends so play nice and welcome her to the party.

marg have a great day the rest of the day see you at the change over.

It took me a while to get to the bottom

lol sorry i should have told you more…

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.

Bmonk i like that song. lol thanks

hi ho hi ho its off to work we go.

lol im loosing my mind…. DONT HAVE KIDS!!! JOKING! they are great.

since noone is here ill be back in a little while im going see what i can find in the house for supper we are having left overs.

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

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.

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.

hi Lonewolf i think you need this (((((LONEWOLF)))))

to all of the people at the Va hospital (((((VA)))))

This should hit every email inbox to show how stupid we have become!! AMEN TO THAT !!!!

makes me wish i lived in 1957. it is crazy how the world has gone form that to this.

hi DRY welcome home did you have a good day at work today?

MrSpock, great website, I’d love to have the program capabilities for myself - but the girl in question is underage. Get my point?

@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.)

im being attacked by a monster/bug/ crazy child…. save me.

MARG you are welcome i just relized what you said.

A crazy child? Distract it with games or something.

Bmonk it doesn’t work she attackes me with tickles. and wispers in my ear and blows on my arms and necks and it tickles. im very ticklelish.

@tabby, one thing I have discovered is that those who like to tickle others are usually ticklish themselves…

she is…. i tickled her so much she pottied in her pull up. opps. lol

COOL - more new faces. Welcome!

SHIKA - just stopped to say *HI* again.

As long as you don’t tickle her too much… Oops! LOL!

hi ya dcguys how are yuo doing…

my fellow memembers i named in red earlery do you relize it went form “ask tabby” to tabby ask you? lol love you guys

@tabby my inner child misses the “old” days… I hope when I’m old and senile that’s where I get to go back to….

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.

dpetrill that’s the other new name - a lot easier to find when you post right before me :-) Hope you have fun here.

Hey Akenta i will say a pray.

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.

I finally caught up on the comments. Such a variety of subjects today.

mr spock Nice work. Awesome website!

Welcome new posters. Maybe some of us won’t have to talk to ourselves so much now.

Akenta After what I saw, I’m making a major deposit in the Bank!

bbs

Dry

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.

Wow, Mr. Spock! What a fabulous blog site!

Ladywolf I love your story. talk about a cliff hanger! Keep it up!

Terry, I am learning to take reality as it is, although sometimes it sucks!! Other times, it’s good!

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!

(((((Dry)))))

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.

Akenta

My prayers are there also for your co-worker also.

Tabby, you need coffee! After that song fest, we think you DEFINATELY need some coffee! :-D

Just saw your post Tabby and Akenta, again, we are posting at the same time! Yes, I guess RUM does better suit this crowd!!

lol Dry oh but its so nasty…

when i saw what time it was i went perfect lets get doc up. and you werent around so i had to take your place i sare i wasnt drinking it… hick up opps

Yes tabby will teach you a lesson from drinking all that rum!! hits her with a pillow

need a new song to prove im sober…. hum think think think.

Tabby, Tabby, Tabby, what are we going to do with you? doc and Akenta, any ideas?? LOL!

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.

sober you up some?

Dry i have an idea….. LOVE ME!! and HUG me and stop tossing pillows at me. lol

docT don’t you have an avatar to change?

doc doog…. i mean good one. i sware to drunk im not God.

Tabby, I didn’t throw any pillows at you!! That was Akenta!!! She needs more coffee guys!!

Akenta a little… not enough for me to spell your name right on the first try. lol

he promised shika he would leave it longer for her.

dry d a r n you saw that.

dry you reminded me of something i read in a book… when you said we need more coffee. i put stat after it and when i did that i remembered the book..

well do you know what stat stands for?

”Shake That A^^ Toots”

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!!

Doc i knew i loved you for some reason. ;0) i dont have to drink it. ha ha haha

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

it will be okay.

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.

Akenta, Cleo’s avatar catches your eye for some reason?? ROFLMAO!!!

Shika just has a special place in docs heart since he broke his routine for her. lol

dry thank you for saying it… i just couldn’t do it.

hey i need to go take care of supper bbl

Tabby, just couldn’t do what?

Uh Doc, I think I’ll pass until someone else tests it out first!!

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

Dry you know it catches your eye too :-)

Doc Pipeline is all set. I’ve got a descendant of Igor and his wife working controls on this end.

Akenta, of course Cleo’s avatar catches my eye!! We know him too well not to notice!! LOL

Pipeline is all set?! Lord help us all!!! Run for cover!!

Where exactly does this Pipeline run through? Should i be looking for bubbllng ground here in GA?

RUN I TELL YOU, RUN LIKE THE WIND!!!!

I’ll drink 98 beers on the hic-hic-hic wall!!!*

CO to IL, but were going to expand!

(HIC) Hi sheverybooooooooooooooooooooooooooddddy!Where’s tha nu-hic nu-hic ku-hicleer coffee?

I’ll have a gallon puleese- hic!

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.

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?

˙ʍou ǝuıɟ ןǝǝɟ ı ¡ɔop ǝǝɟɟoɔ ǝɥʇ ɹoɟ sʞuɐɥʇ

Doc I’ll have one of those unoblatan…….ubloart…….obtained……………..#yeah, one of those buckets!

Shika You don’t look so upside right either!

Shika

You just let everybody know you’re not as think as they drunk you are.

Got to go eat see you all later.

How do we do this upside down typing?

Terry, I wouldn’t trust that coffee of *doc’s!! *

All this talk about coffee is making me sleepy. Thanks for all the good thoughts. I’m sure it helps. (((Tribe)))

Take care and see you all tomorrow.

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………………..

Doc, do you see what your coffee is doing to these normally sane people??? (Snerk, normally sane? LOL!!)

Good Night Akenta

Sweet dreams!

Dry

I love that nuked coffee. Remember I drank it all those years in the service! I am more than used to it. Can’t even keep me awake anymore.

*IamIMMUNEtoITSeffects, see!

Oh. Akenta. I forgot in the time since I was last on.

Prayers are winging to you co-worker. And a hug too:

((((((((for mom)))))))))

Good Night dear Akenta, and sweet rest to you. lots of love and peace being deposited in the Tribal bank for you and that mother.

And where is JFri who came up with this* BRILLIANT* whatever it was called, container???

He’s plotting against us I tell you!! Him and Doc are in this together! BE AFRAID, BE VERY AFRAID!!!

Yeah, who else joined here? Where’s all the sane ones? They’re invading us!

Doc, You got me on that one!!

Please don’t be afraid Dry, my dear. Only your imagination can hurt you!

(waves dosimeter, sighs)

No cesium, thank goodness.

(decontaminate, decontaminate)

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.”

AAAHHHH!

Dry Now I AM afraid. LOL!

Doc

If HY touched any of that contamination, he’s certified now!

Doc

Of course Dry has an imagination. She puts up with us, doesn’t she?!

Hazmat? Heck, I’m NBC qualified…nuclear, biological, chemical…this ain’t nothing.

Hello hymenoxis. Thank you for decontaminating the place. I’m sorry we let Doc and JFri loose with that project.

(scrub, incinerate)

What’s cesium?

Can we add it to the coffee?

I had to clean up after a nuclear salsa experiment once, back in the old MSN chatroom days….it’ll be hot for another forty thousand years.

Lonewolf Hymenoxis is a certified WHAT?

“AFTER YOU, I INSIST.” “NO, NO, AFTER YOU PLEASE!” “NO, NO, NO, YOU GO FIRST!!!”

ROFLMAO!!

I’M THE ONLY SANE ONE HERE!!

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.

Dry gasp YOU talk like that? What ever will we do with you?

You go first. I insist.

Shikamoo…cesium is a particularly nasty little radioactive element, a by-product of nuclear reactivity. Big player at Chernobyl.

Terry, my imagination runs wild with these totally INSANE people here! BE AFRAID! BE VERY AFRAID!! ROFLMAO!!

Shika

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!

Then I’ll pass on the cesium, thank you.

I have one of those old thick pencils. Mine’s red. (The lead is black of course.)

Shika

HY is a certified rubbish transfer expert, what else?!

hymenoxis, to clean up this mess, YOU ARE A BRAVER MAN THAN I, GUNGA DIN!

Dry You keep talking about insane people here. If we are all insane, but you alone are sane, then WE must be normal. Guess what that makes you?

HMM?

Rubbish indeed.

(empties ashtrays)

Shika, Normal and sane???!!! :-D

Dry

Did you fall on all those bottles that tabby was dropping earlier? I think you depmub your head!

What happened to Doc? Is he playing with those glowing scurrying things in the corner? I hope he doesn’t get bitten!

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.

Kipling “Gunga Din”

Only the insane know who they are. The sane ones are doomed to repeat until they find out they’re insane!

Shika Who normal and sane?

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 glowing scurrying thing will die soon of ARP. It’s the ones that give birth before they die you gotta worry about…

Ha! You wish. ABNORMAL. And sane.

Oh well, take your pick- normal and insane, or abnormal and sane.

We have another poster named shika here at BT? LOL

(stomp, squish)

Dry

You caught my drift, eh? Why do you think I picked those three. Doc and I can’t get blamed for deformed looks if they work for us!

I can’t be afraid, I’m definitely abbynormal!

Terry I said WE are normal and INSANE.

DRY is ABNORMAL and sane.

Follow the argument in my post- lol

Hymenoxis.

ARP?

Are these things giving birth?

EWWW.

HY

Did you mean AARP? LOL

Dry We need someone who’s sane to keep us under control.

Do you know anyone who’s sane? I know you can be as crazy as anyone here, don’t try to hide it. ROFLMAO

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)

Terry What do you mean “Do we have another poster named shika here?”

What kind of crack is that?

Ah, thanks Hymenoxis. Er, where will you put your shoes when you finish here?

Just asking.

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)

Shika you want someone sane to keep you under control??

SETTLE DOWN YOU INSANE PEOPLE FOR HEAVENS SAKE!!!!

AND WHERE DID THE TROUBLEMAKER GO?

DOC??? GET YOUR KEISTER BACK HERE!! YOU STARTED THIS MESS!!!

AND JFRI YOU AREN’T INNOCENT IN THIS MESS EITHER, BUD!!

Shika

You catch on fast, Sweet Thang! lol

And for me, as I’ve said before I’ve always been crazy, but it keeps me from going insane!

I got this nifty little two-thousand degree incinerator here…shoes go in there, as well as the lead lined Speedo.

Yeah Doc & JFri

I’m the only innocent one here! Just ask my son he’ll back me up! (yes we’re going to get your video play station tomorrow, I promise)

TMI hymenoxis**! LOL

Terry

Thanks Dry. I’m settled down now.

Wait! Me too? :-(

Trust Doc and JFri to disappear after they create havoc on the site.

Loveys ya too Shika

Shika Ha-ha-ha!!! What constitutes “settled down”?

Have a good time Doc

Bye Doc

Sheesh. what could be more fun than staying here with us? :-D

Hey….protect what’s valuable…

(scrape, scrub)

Terry, Bribary? Playstation? Innocent??? (SNERK)

BTW hymenoxis- that’s neat that you quoted from GUNGA DIN. Makes me want to read it now myself. I’m surprised I never read it, but I know the name.

(waves dosimeter)

Okay, I’m calling this place clean, except for that balloon animal over in the corner. I’m not going near it. They creep me out.

Dry Lonewolf is a secret agent dontcha know. He won’t admit to anythink.

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!!!

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.

Shika, don’t read the book Gunga Din. Watch the movie!!

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.”

Those are just the bits I remember, and probably not correctly.

(sweep, sweep)

(((((((((TERRY)))))) Hope your head and ear feel better tmr.

(mop, swab)

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?

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”.

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.

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?

And while we are on movies, because of me, what about Stalag 17, The Great Escape, Bridge on the River Kwai?

I think I saw an Errol Flynn effort from the thirties or early forties…is that it?

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.

Hey…you gotta respect Kipling….or I’ll cap ya.

Good Night Terry

I hope you feel better tomorrow.

I have to get to bed myself. I’m trying to be a good girl.

And keep my sanity. lol

GOOD NIGHT DRY, HYMENOXIS AND WHOEVER IS LEFT.

PEACE AND LOVE TO YOU ALL!

((((((Dry)))))) Good Night ((((((Shika)))))) Good Night Good Night HY

Oh yeah, Stalag 17, The Great Escape, Bridge on the River Kwai. Three great favorite movies.

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, :-(

“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.

Yes Terry, they were, and I know I am missing some ohters! Have a good night!

I do enjoy movies. I think I’m a bit quirky, though.

I find the opening three minutes of the film “Catch-22” to be among my favorite opening sequences. Yossarian flips off the camera…

(sweep, dust)

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!

Time to say goodnight ((((((((((((((TRIBE))))))))))))))

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.

Ouch.

Ick…electrical issues. (takes hat off to Cleo)

One must have one’s priorities.

Keep a log, and tell us what it’s like to be without….y’know…normal stuff….

(sweep, put up chairs)

Hymenoxis HI how are you its been a while since i seen you….. and and you took my line “ouch” that is my line. lol

i hate this key board and computer there will be alot more type o’s then normal sorry guys.

dont make me start singing again

well to save myself the headache insted of singing i will study. so peace and love all bbl

tabby & hymenoxis - Hold down the fort replacements are on their way.

Cleo well they better hurry i cant be on much longer im in and out with this studying as it is.

its so cold in this house i cant feel my toes. where did my toes go?

okay im going to get in trouble for being on here so ihave to get off peace and love all

tabby - I just know that you are rubbing in how cold it is. LOL

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.

Hang in their mates.

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.
