Big Top by Rob Harrell for August 17, 2009

JFri–I left you a double shot on the last page.

Dawn–Hi, how are you, dear?

Well, not quite the same, but i call my sweetie my little pumpkin.

Mr. Bendy looks familiar…Doogie Howser?

Breakfast Menu:

1-Eggs, your choice 2-Bacon 3-Sausage, patties or links 4-Honey Ham 5-Texas Toast 6-English Muffins 7-Asst Juices 8-Decaf/Regular Coffee 9-Cinnamon Rolls w/Frosted Icing 10-Excellent Waiter!

Terry, I hope you’re getting breakfast ready.

Thanks, Terry! Since cleo is ignoring my request for Bookers……

Carmy–Impatient one this morning aren’t we?

Oh and for You and I, JFri, Bloody Marys. And I do make a mean one!!!

Oops, you caught me JFri. I misread on the second last page of yesterday’s comic. Sounds like you know the island well. Yep, we’ve been to Hatley Castle - it’s part of Royal Roads University ad we love walking in the gardens there. The peacocks rule the roost although the students chase them for their tail feathers. Haven’t been to Fort Rod Hill for years although it was a favorite place for my boys. Haven’t been to a logging museum in Nanaimo but have spent time at the one in Duncan - it’s great but with money tight, they are letting some of the machines rust away - a real shame. Thy still use the steam train on special days. Of course, the Royal Museum in Victoria is a very special place. The dioramas are fabulous - better than most museums. And we have season tickets to the Imax there so can see it at any time. We go into Victoria regularly since my husband’s parents live there.

Terry I’d love cinnamon rolls and nuclear coffee please! With a side of bacon - no not the whole side of pig - just the bacon;>)

I can just picture the Furry little pumpkin!

Terry, I’ll take the waiter, and a cinnamon roll, my furry little pumpkin.

**JFRI

Hi! my furry little pumpkin…

Love you guys, but I’m outta here for the night.

(((Marg)))

Good Night Tribe Peace & Love

Oh was the waiter up for grabs, Marg? Never thought of that. Wanna flip for him?

marg, I’m furrier than normal! How did you know I hadn’t shaved all weekend?

Terry, I wasn’t impatient, we posted at the same time. I’ll have some eggs overeasy and some Texas toast. Is there any cran-razz left?

Peace & Love, Terry!

Hey, Carmy, what are you up to at this hour?

JFri- I am so sorry. You know how it is with company. One Booker Noes coming up.

‘Night Tribe Cya on the morrow.

Thanks, cleo! Night, Dawn

Nytol! Sleep well.

JFri- A cocktail is always availabe at my neck of the woods.

Morning All. Boy, I step away from the computer for an hour and there are three pages of comments to go through before I even get to today. It’s hard to keep up.

May I just have a large glass of apple juice please?

And I have my furry little pumpkin as well.

Sorry JFri, I was out strolling around the comics so I missed your comment. I had a late nap so I was able to stay up a bit. Now I’m off to bed. Goodnight All!

ZOOOOOOOOOOM!! BEEP BEEP! WAKE UP DRY! I’M BACK!!!!! ZOOOOOOOOOOM!! BEEP BEEP! GONE!!

Good morning Tribe, great breakfast set up you have Terry, I’ll have a little bit of everything. I’m going to need it if I’m going to chase down JFri that super fast roadrunner.

I always wanted a roadrunner for a pet.

Now if you all excuse me I need to go to Toonville and shop at the Acme store for some supplies. LOL.

Good morning and happy monday!!

I oversleep and see it was another yappy night last night. Doubt I will be able to get very far in my rounds this morning, so no idea when/if I’ll be showing up tonight.

Everyone, have a good day.

Those furry pumpkins are really getting around. I didn’t realize they were so popular.

G’morning all! Hope everyone has a great week.

Good morning, everyone!

Good morning everyone as well from the enchanted meadows just east of BT here.

Great breakfast spread, Terry! I’ll need a lot of everything so I can keep up my strength up to chase down that dang roadrunner

Now, where did I leave my anvil!!

Morning Cleo, Carmy, Marg, JFri, Akenta, Dawn, Serena, DCguys and Yukoneric! And the breakfast host Terry!

Good Morning Dry, Carmy, Marg, Dawn, Serena, Akenta, DCGuys, Yukon, and JDFri(AKA Roadrunner).

Glad you all liked the breakfast. Sorry that the waiter entree needed to slip out for some zzzzzzzz’s!

Good Morning Mopar.

It’s raining here in the Chi-Town suburbs, but again, I am on the porch/deck with Nuked coffee in hand and watching the rain fall. Very nice!

I’ve got the Pipeline to here. Just start the extension and when you are ready we’ll make the final connection here.

Mopar

Pick me up an Elvis coffee mug on the way thru Memphis. Mine is worn from this Nuclear coffee! LOL

Good Morning Tribe

I missed a good thread, the one about a person with MPD who has one personality wanting/trying to commit suicide are the other personalities ‘hostages’. I say yes, especially if they themselves are not wanting to die. Even if suicide is not on the mind of one…if he/she is dominate enough to be able to ‘take command the body’, the others may also be considered hostages if they do not want to engage in that activity.

Anyway, things are ok today. I’ve arranged a tow for my car and I’m puttering about the kitchen with the last bits. I’m not hungry this morning, but I’ll take some juice with thanks. And…while taking the keys out to the car so they can work on it, I picked up Krispy Kreams. Just ‘cause I’m not hungry don’t mean you guys should starve! Enjoy!

Good Morning All!

We used to have a furry little pumpkin, it was a jack-o-lantern that we forgot to throw away after last Halloween…

“Furry pumpkin” doesn’t sound too appealing. Whenever a pumpkin pie gets furry, I throw it out! (Doesn’t happen too often, as my hubby loves my pumpkin pies.) Morning, tribe!

I am getting dizzy riding my toonland merry-go-round so I am popping in and out of here!

Hi Quaby, DF & RRAmom.

Good Morning to you!!!

Quaby

Your explanation is to deep for me this early in the morn! I’ll have to re-read it again later!!! Not enough nuclear coffee yet!!

RRAmom

When we have something furry in the “frigorator”, we just open the door, whistle and it hops right into the garbage! LOL

Back to toonland!

Zzzzzzzing

Thanks for the attempts last night to figure out what triggers my filter. I’m guessing it can get set off by a combination of words, not just single words like the gocomics nannybot. The filter doesn’t have settings for various age groups, so that means the filter only has a “all family” setting. If it bothers the tribe for me to count to flip to the next page, please tell me. Or, what I can do the next time it happens, is just post a message that says, “1”. Then I’ll check back in a few minutes to see if you’re on the next page yet. Please let me know what the tribe would like for me to do.

Say, if there are any cyber geeks out there, please tell me what an “unsupportive system” means?

Geez, alright, let’s get to page dos already!

“Dos” as in the number 2. Hi TerryLonewolf!

It is too quiet in the mornings!!!!

There once was a star so immense that it became incredibly dense

Then collapsed at a great rate To a terrible fate

And has been a black hole ever since!

Hello out there!

Back to toonland.

Zzzzzzzzzzzzing

Terrykins, are you and me the only ones here? And stop with that rhyme, it’s disturbing!

*Good Morning doc!! * As usual my desk is piled high!

Hey there Mopar–

I guess you didn’t see my post on the 1st page about the Elvis coffee mug?!

Hi MoPar!

Doc

Definitely not a good pet name for anyone’s sweetie!!!! LOL

Hi Dry

What do do at work? Or don’t do(snerk-snerk)?!

Mopar

Joni Mitchell???

Good Morning All. Just an IV of nuclear coffee for me this morning. Hope all you Yappy Nuts are aok.

Hello again everyone

Well, the pest people have come and gone, I’m told everything is good. We shall see. I know it is vastly better than June, which I will owned up to ‘cause I had not been as clean as I should have been. I still have work to do, but I can be more relaxed now. And now I can settle for a nap if I so choose.

Terry loved your little ditty. Mopar that was an interesting song. I don’t remember it myself but it looks good.

Terry a little bit of everything, lots of financial stuff, grant reimbursements, payroll, etc.

(((Dry)))

Ha-ha!

Doc-I have already used my beer hat for coffee out on the patio. I almost fell on the floor when I read your post. Good thing I didn’t have the coffee in my mouth!

doctortoon - The coffee hat is fine. I never care what people think when they look at me. (Just set myself up for plenty of digs)

doctortoon - The rodent revolution is in full swing at Pooch Cafe.

Dry

Sounds like too much work! I’ve got the schooling(actually finance, believe it or not) and tried to work at a desk years ago, but I have to be out and about or I feel cramped up. So I choose auto mechanic.

doctortoon - When does the new wing get added to your abode for your growing collection?

I’ve seen the posts about your archives. It’s like a second job for you, Doc!

Where did that gaping pit come from at Pooch Hootch, Cleo. It wasn’t there in the last strip picture of the lot!

Are you all out there ignoring me on purpose?

Terry, I’ve got the ideal job. I have a beautiful view of the mountains from my desk, I can prop open the front door for fresh air, I do the same things, and many different things. Once in a while I get to go out in the field if the guys need an extra hand surveying. We have a couple of outdoor field days for farmers during spring and fall and I’m always at those. And the really nice thing, EVERYBODY IN THIS OFFICE GETS ALONG!! Sure sometimes we have squabbles, but they don’t last long at all.

Dry

I am happy for someone I know when I hear that they like their job. I hear too many times how some don’t like it or even hate going to work each day(except payday of course). I’ve worked at a couple of places where I didn’t like how the owners ran the place and i just gave my notice and moved on. It’s not worth it to me. With the economy the way it is, maybe that changes. I hope I don’t find out!

I just popped in to say HI

Lonewolf - It actually appeared in Pooch Cafe a few days ago.

Hi Serena

Cleo–No pit in any strips on this adventure that I can see.

Doc- Same goes for you. But from what you hear, we are in the minority!

Well, it has stopped pouring rain, so I no longer have an excuse for not going out to the garage. I need to get some work done and deliver a car to the customer. I be back later this afternoon or when I take a break.

Lonewolf- Either I’m dreaming or I did see the pit earlier.

Have a good afternoon, Terry!

Doc

The more you tell me about yourself, the more I can relate to you. I come from a Bohemian heritage and the men in the family were/are all workaholics. I am the same way. Those work ethics never leave your system as long as your body allows it.

Alright I’m outta here for now. No more pulling a Shika for me this time! LOL

Lonewolf - You are correct. I don’t see a hole in any of the previous strips related to this subject. Sheesh!

ZOOOOOOOOOOM!! BEEP BEEP!!

*Love my job AND my boss!!!

ZOOOOOOOOOOM!! BEEP BEEP!! GONE!!

You too, Missssssss Dry!

JFri Boss, work?

*SNERK!!!!!!!

Tink - I can’t speak for the others, but I’m not purposely ignoring you. I’m not a “cybergeek” - I leave that up to my hubby & oldest son, neither one who is here at the moment to ask. I’m rather tired, too, so not as yappy as normal. It has been an exhausting couple of weeks for me.

Aaahh, the obligations of RL are calling me out now. I must go fire up the MoPar.

Be good y’all!

BBL

Doc sounds like a missle to me! DUCK!!!

Finally! Somebody responding to me! Good afternoon, MoPar and RRAmom!

Doc INCOMING!!! You are supposed to duck, fool!!! Last time I warn you! LOL!

Brave little kitties!

doc - Radiation sickness - What are the symptoms? Bizarre mutations - No reproductions, so can’t tell.

Good morning/afternoon Tribe!

I’m taking a break from fixing my computer. Still working on it.

HI TINK!

I always enjoy seeing you here, Tink. You stay consistantly Tinkerbell, which is lovely! Thank you for the lightness you add here.

I like seeing your cousin Josh too. You seem to be a nice extended family.

Good afternoon, shika!

HI- JFri, Dry, marg, Terry/Lonewolf, Doc, Quaby, cleokaya, Ladywolf, MoParMitch…..

If I’ve missed anyone, I blame my AADD! (My teeny-tiny brain can’t absorb too much at one time!)

RRAmom! ((((((((((((((((RRAmom)))))))))))))))))

Your filter is a meany! Glad to see you back!

How are your eyes these days?

I’m bringing some Timbits to suppliment the Krispy Kremes. Got to have some Canadian representaion here!

I’ve added Maple glazed and Maple or Chocolate Boston cream donuts.

How did Boston cream wind up in Canada? LOL!

The only furry pumpkin I’ve seen around here was some left-over pumpkin pie that grew a fur coat in the back of my refridge!

It was left in the cold too long, LOL!

Doc Mua’s pretty brave too! Why, just this morning he demolished a paper plane!

:-D

Well, since you’ve all left me, I’ll tour Toonville and return tonight.

I’m going out soon anyways.

P & L

hi shika. i just got here. thanks for the timbits! i really don’t care for Krispy Kremes (or the custard filling in Timmies Boston Creme and Canadian Maple). My preferences are sourdough glazed and maple iced. what a morning. by the time i read up on my Aussie Rules Football and MLS, and did the daily puzzles (and weekly ones that come out on Mondays) i’d all ready blown a couple of hours. good thing i’m off work today. (i’d never have been able to visit, otherwise).

Hey Mo Par: classic rock and classic cars are a great combination. (and i recognized Joni’s lyrics right away. as Shika said, gotta have CanCon!)

hi DocT: a spot of nuclear coffee would go well about now, but i guess i’ll have to settle for my home brewed Tim’s.

Thanks for asking, shika! I go to the specialist tomorrow morning. I didn’t have any problems to speak of finding where I needed to drive, even though I couldn’t read the street signs until I was almost close enough to turn. Having my laptop with a GPS program was a godsend! It was very helpful having been there the weekend before with my hubby driving, so I could look at the landmarks. The GPS program (StreetAtlas) would tell me how soon I needed to turn, left or right, and the name of the street/highway that I needed to turn onto. On Friday evening, my cousin picked me up at my motel, and drove us to & from the restaurant. Since she’s lived in COS for several years, it took a lot of stress off of me. It was a very nice evening visiting with my cousin!

Glad you like the Timbits yyyguy. I like the sourdough and honey glazed and the white powdered ones myself.

I had to watch at work that I didn’t serve a client with a powdery white mustache!

I hope you eye appointment goes well, RRAmom.

Doc Mua just laughs at the ICBM’s! He’s much more interested in the hand puppet of a cat I do for him on the wall.

He’s convinced there is a real cat there, and he wants to play!

:-D

BBL

ZZZZZZZZZZIIIINNNNGG!

I hope the retina specialist can find & fix the problem easily. Of all the senses I have, I think I’d miss my sight the most. (Well, maybe 2nd - touch would probably be 1st.)

Quaby - if the pest control guys are done at your place, can you maybe send them over to SOTU?

ZOOOOOOOOOOM!! BEEP BEEP!!

(Slips water bomb under doct’s door-hey this is* a cartoon, ya know! Goes off. Water *everywhere!!)

SPLOOSH!!!!!! ZOOOOOOOOOOM!! BEEP BEEP!! GONE!!

SLIP, SLIDE, SPLASH!!! CRASH! TINKLE!

Geez Doc, you didn’t get hurt did you??!!!

Crash Tinkle?? Did you slide it under his bathroom door?

Dry/JFri If you want something easier (and more fun) try filling a cardboard fed-ex envelope full of shaving cream, slide the open end just under Doc’s door and then jump on it…

Thanks DF Excellent idea! What da’ ya’ think, JFri?

Doc Isn’t it about time for you to go to bed, huh?* LOL

@doct: thanks, i’ll look forward to it. i can always use new super powers. (being the self proclaimed “master of all trivia” isn’t nearly enough.) @RRAmom: allow me to add my best wishes to shika’s. @DF: you really are doing well today. here and everywhere.

Doc I suppose, but how can we formulate our plans with you hanging around?? (SNERK!!)

(Dry, I’m in!!! Got the shaving cream??))

No Doc, YOU EXPECT THE UNEXPECTED NOW THAT *JFri’S* HERE!! (SNICKER)

So Doc, while JFri and Dry are busy at your front door, what you do is sneak out the back, grab their can of shaving cream, duct tape a rock to hold down the valve button and quickly lob it into their car…

TOO LATE, DF! Too little too late!! SNERK!!

Hey, I was just trying to start a war. It’s an prestigious line of work, with a long and glorious tradition.

bye doct. i’ll be leaving before too long, as well. don’t you just hate when real life intrudes?

Night doc!!! We’ll* see you soon! BBWWWAAAAAHHHH!!

that’s it for me. been here, there, and everywhere, now it’s time to get some real life. might be back tonight. TTFN

the echoing sounds of shoes tapping

Hmmm, looks like I might be the only one here. My eyes aren’t the greatest and my hearings worse. I’ll just make myself useful….

<sweep, sweep>

<sweep, sweep, dust, dump>

[Echoing] When Tink’s here, you’re never alone…alone..alone..alone… OK, will someone turn off the echo?!

(Dry, let’s sneak in and put shaving cream in the palms of his hands & then tickle his nose with a feather!)

JFri—Just let me stay on your good side. I know I’m crazy, but you are tortuous buddy!

JFri excellent idea!!! I’ll try and think up some more devilment!

Hello Evlybloody, I’m baaaaack!!!

Of course most of you all left!!!

Hey Tink I’m popping in and out, fixing to pop out for more extended periods as I work in the bedroom.

I leave for a little while, only one of the Looney Toonies is here for any length of time and yet there’s soooooo many posts. I new you could handle the Yap Load of two poeple Dry!

{;-P

Hey Quaby–Work, work, work today, huh?

Well I’m off to deliver that customer car I mentioned earlier. I have done enough damage for a little while!!! BBL

Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzing!!!

Ya Terry but now it’s more ‘fun’, I’m in my room sorting through the beads and such. I’ll be working on snowflakes later on this evening.

(Terry, if you think I’m devious, ya oughta see the pirate when he’s on a roll!!)

Dry/JFri there’s always putting shaving cream on the earpiece of his phone and then calling him after he’s gone to sleep… but save that one for when he doesn’t have to work the next day….

You can also take 3-4 packets of Knox (clear) gelatin powder, mix it with barely enough hot water to disolve it, and then dump it in the toilet bowl and let it setup on him while he sleeps….unscrew all of his lightbulbs and hide them in the oven….unscrew the shower head and put beef bullion cubes inside - that one will make him very popular with the kitties…

(Wow, D.F., you really ARE evil, aren’t you? Glad you’re on our side!!!)

whaddaya think JFri? I still like my bells, whistles, cow bells and horns! I’m very musically talented you know!!

DF what will the knox do in the toilet bowl?

Hey Why dont we just sing to him? ROFLMAO

I’m not evil, like I said - trying to ”start a war is a prestigious line of work, with a long and glorious tradition.”

trivia test!

Dry Knox gelatin is like Jello with no color or flavor, so it just turns the toilet bowl into a clear bowl of jello…

DF I know what it is but doesn’t seem much of a trick! OH , splashback?? Now that is evil!!

I can’t do that to Doc! If I sing at him that should be plenty of torture!!

…cover his front lawn with corn flakes, then turn on the sprinkler… turn off the airconditioner and dump mashed potato flakes into the vents…use a snap on wire splicer to connect the positive wire of the horn to the positive wire of the signal lights…It’s surprising how many of the good ones I’ve forgotten about…

(Well, if I sing with you, Dry, he’s gonna be real cranky!!)

(D.F., I stripped out the wire from a lamp cord and wrapped it around the fuses of an M-80 & a smoke bomb, then wired it to the coil of his car engine!!)

JFri That’s the point!!! And we’ll my instruments at the same time!!

Hey, what if wildcheetah has the car tonight? Where else can you wrap that thing? Door knob, closet?

Jfri you can buy at joke shops a device called an “Auto Fooler” about the size of a felt marker pen with two wire leads coming off. It has a slow burning charge with a whistle, then a firecracker and smoke bomb.

I wired one to my university prof’s motorcycle, but had to piece together some shorter bits of wire to make the connection. He happened to notice it, so next day in class he did a lecture on cold solder joints using it as an example. So I waited 2 weeks and soldered one up in the lab and got him good!

MoPar the nuclear pipeline, will stop at your house? I’m a little nervous it being in GA, but I understand if you need it. I’ve mapped from my house to Chicago, and it’s doesn’t really go through Memphis, but they may want some of it there anyway.

Good afternoon to the rest of the Tribe

Dry I have some extra packets of Knox from a failed ice cream experiment. Let me know if we can use it.

have 2 go, later all!

Akenta Give them to JFri. He’s the master of trickery!!! We can learn a lot from him!!! Whether that’s good or bad, remains to be seen!! LOL

Back again!

JFri, I think DF has us beat on crazy and devious.

Hi Akenta, and all the others I already said hi to!!

Hi Lonewolf

JFri I still have 3 packets left if you can use them

(Dry, THIS will wake him up! I drilled a hole through his tailpipe and put in an eye bolt. Then I strung the finest piano wire through it & across the exhaust pipe opening. When we start his car it will wail like a banshee!!)

(Thanks, Akenta! We will see how that works! SNERK!)

Well, it’s wrapup time for me. House will be on soon and then other stuff. gonna make snowflakes. Lalala.

Haven’t heard anything about the car.. cue dreadful music…

Have a good evening. And I have stashed donut Krispy Kreams along with the cream. Enjoy breakfast!

All this to wake up Doc?

This is getting nasty but interesting.

And speaking of furry, today was the first time I shaved since the end of July. I was beginning to look like Grizzly Adams. I feel younger, and like I need a new razor. lol

JFri I said you were the master of genius!!!

Johnny HI, I wish we could have seen your beard!!!

Serena No need to worry! We’re great friends!!!! Who else can you prank on? Doc loves it!!!

hey you guys guess what. i am alive… just been busy.

It was not quite a full beard, that will take more time, but going that long without a shave does get VERY itchy! Hi Tabby! No worries, we all have lives outside the Tribe that require attention… I think…

(Deep mechanical breathing. When last we met, Obi Wan, you were the master and I was the pupil. Now I am the master! Only the master of evil, Vader.)

WELL THERE SHE IS MISS AMERICA!!! about time you put in an appearance girl!! Hi tabby!!

JFri if you mean you and I, I am still the master, maybe not of being the master trickster, but everything else!!! LOL SNERK!!!!

hey Jdoc, Jfri, and my lovely Dry

lol Dry “miss america”? lol

tabby You bet ‘cha girl!!!

Phew, a very full day of work, painting a bedroom, mowing, edging and weed whacking. Pour me a Booker’s JFri. I could certainly use one.

Quaby - I don’t have TV, but just recently discovered House and have been gradually working my way through season 1. My wife is a nurse and likes trying to solve each condition. She does pretty well.

Cleo You would never have done all that today here! MY KIND OF WEATHER, 95 degrees, HOT, I LOVE IT !!!

JFri got a nice COLD, ICE COLD beer handy?

D A R N my luck. of corse i finaly get to get on and the STUPID weather has to get bad. Akenta how are you over there? may not find out till God knows when, but hope you are fine…. oh and Carmy are you okay down there also??? Great now i have more people to worry about with bad weather. The true Tribe you know who you are… shika yes you are. i love yuo guys. be safe in this bad weather going all over. peace and love till i can get back on. sorry about this.

Dry - It was in the mid 70’s here. I like the temp here. I found myself cussing my wife though for choosing an indoor job to do when I told her I would do it in the fall. I do not like spending a nice day doing indoor activities.

Cleo Me either! So why am I here sitting? I get my exercise though, in and out, up and down!

Since JFri hasn’t reciprocated with his own Booker’s. I am going to have to pour a dram from my own colection and pull up a chair on the deck. Drat him anyway.

BEWARE STREAKING MAN RUNNING DOWN DOCK AND KERSPLASHING INTO LAKE.

Cleo which guy is you??

Hey “Tink”! Did anyone ever answer your question on page one?

An “unsupportive system” is like HP and Window’s Vista.

Hewlett-Pakard doesn’t suppot Vista.

Dry - The good looking one with the big jug. snerk.

Okay Cleo I see the resemblence! ROFLMAO

Psst. Dry or JFri.

Psst. Over here. This one’s good too:

Stretch clear Saran wrap over the toilet seat. A little messy, but effective. Then when he peels that off, after hosing it down, that is- he’ll see the blob in there that you put earlier…..

cleo I recognized you right away!

:-D

I’ve toured Toonville. Joy I replied to your comment on Garfield.

I replied to some others, but I forget where now. Oh well, someone else will laugh at them I hope!

johnny I missed you! You should have told us you had a beard. It must have been hot and itchy though in this weather.

Is anybody home???

Back to my back up. I’m getting closer- the problem is in my driver.

Like “Driving Miss Daisy” this is! LOL

Hi shika - just finished my rounds.

Ice cold beer for Dry & a Bookers for Cleo!

*Jfri THAT WAS HOURS AGO, MISTER!! WASN’T IT CLEO?! *

I hope doc doesn’t get too mad about our trickery while he was asleep!!!! ROFLMAO!

Much interest about having a beard, but if you wait a few days, it will be back, and in a week or two, as full as ever. Cleo, I am a bit envious of you. I wish I had a lake I could do that with.

And now you’re gone Shika, people are going to start thinking we are avoiding each other!

;-P

Shika & Tink - I have an HP (Compaq) computer & have Vista. So, I don’t think that example works.

RRAMom been thinking about your problem. Why don’t you get yourself a laptop of your own, if you can. You don’t need the extra bells and whistles if your kids don’t have access to it.

Dry - I do have my own laptop. Part of it is the example I set, part of it is that I can’t guarantee my hubby or my sons won’t use it. (Especially the two geeks). If it bothers you for me to up the posts until we go to another page, I’ll just sit it out.

Well, excuuuuuuuse me for being late with the drinks! I have a life, ya know! And that work thang, too!

RRAMom it doesn’t bother me it just seems pointless because none of us know what you are trying to accomplish by doing that. None of us have a filter like that.

JFri We know, we know!!! But Cleo and I were thirsty! That’s no excuse when friends are patiently waiting!

Doc Well let’s put it this way, Boots and Titten may need a bath when they’re done!! And if they are like 2 of my cats, GOOD LUCK BUDDY!!!! Do you have protective armour??? ROFLMAO!

SEE JFri, I TOLD YOU!! That’s why we changed our ORIGINAL plan, Doc. Cooler heads prevailed! (MEANING ME, of course!!) LOL!

*Doc :-P :-P *

It’s nice to see Dry and JFri working together. Maybe I should help out docT

Crazy talk, must mean it’s past my bedtime.

See you all in the AM.

docT, I AM NOT A HOT HEAD! GOT IT?

Errrr, I’m not a hot head. Yeah that’s better! Anyone buying this?

Yeah JFri we got it! ROFLMAO!

Goodnight Doc!

See you tmr!! Wonder what will happen tmr? LOL

Akenta you aren’t switching sides, are you? Remember the fun we had with the garbage cans?

You can RUN, docT, but you can’t HIDE!!

I’d best stay out of this quibble, I don’t want to give any unfair advantages with my superior intellect. (right) And on that happy note, I am off to bed. Good night all!

Goodnight johnny!

Cleo, Carmy, Marg, Tabby WHERE ARE YOU PEOPLE? You aren’t having a party without us? Well that’s just rude!!

And the Pirate and Joy better get thier collective” you know whats” back here real soon!!!! Hey you two, we don’t have BO ya’ know!!!

And where is our RAD?

AAAAAAARRRRRRRR, Dry! If ye invoke th’ name o’ th’ pirate, ye’d best have some RUM on hand!!

AAAAARRRRRRRRR, don’t ye be toyin’ wi’ th’ pirate!! No rum??

PIRATE I have plenty of rum for ye’!!! Best have some on hand when you come to visit!

And shrimp on the Barbie! What did you do with our Joy?

So what have you brought from your great fishing expedition? Better be something good if I’m giving you my good RUM and shrimp, and oh, I forgot to mention, I have lobster!

(shh. my computer is backing up, so I have to whisper. so far, so good, but I’d better get back and make sure this driver does it’s job…..)

JFri- Thanks buddy. It may be a tad late, but Booker’s is appreciated anytime.

johnnyd- Yep, I love being on a lake. I really get a feeling of appreciation when I see a line up of cars waiting to enter the county park on the other side of the lake.

Dry - How could there ever be a party without you, our official lampshade wearer.

AAAAAARRRRRRR, me darlin’ Joy be sleepin’ it off under th’ poop deck! I bring ye black cod, grouper and red snapper fer a right merry festival!!

CLEO I AM NOT THE OFFICIAL LAMPSHADE WEARER!!! HMMPPHH! THAT WOULD BE JFRI! HONESTLY, CAN’T YOU KEEP US STRAIGHT AFTER YOU’VE HAD A BOOKERS??? GEEZ!!!*

JFri, no more Bookers for Cleo!!

Pirate I want some RED SNAPPER, NOW!!!! PLEASE??? And corn on the cob!! Oh and a baked potato with sour cream, butter and chives! Oh and a fresh tossed salad with blue cheese dressing. Oh and a Mojito! And Baked Alaska for dessert.

Thank YOU!!

I’m just stopping by to tell you all that the cast has finally come off and the ankle rehab has begun. Now I’ll leave, so have fun and play nice.

Hey Tabby was the storm a bad one? Or did you have something else to do?

(we’re backing up the driveway…shouldn’t be long now……shhh don’t want to make the driver nervous…..)

Dry - I am so sorry, that attractive hat that you were wearing was mistakenly identified as a lampshade. I will kindly provide you with a mojito, while you await your beloved pirate and your dinner request.

(don’t go away just yet……)

Dry - If pirate suggests that you take a plank to fetch your lunch, you may want to reconsider that suggestion. (Just a thought).

WHOA! CLEO!!

I’m not the pirates lady!! Are you trying to get the wrath of Joy after me??

Thanks my Friend! I’ll remember you the next time you want a Bookers!!! :-P :-P

Dry - I don’t know. I think that you have a soft spot for that one eyed, one legged ner do well. It’s okay though. All women seem to have a thing for bad boys.

I am off to watch a video with my sweetie.

(anyone see Rad’s blog? It’s pretty good.)

(good news Ladywolf. I hope you heal quickly.)

(cleo, I’d love a Mojito too, if it isn’t too much trouble, my friend. No lampshades though.)

(Hi Pirate, me lord. Good to see you again.)

Here be yer dinner, Dry! Enjoy!

Cleo Yes I have a soft spot for that scury guy, but his heart belongs to Joy and she’s my friend so I won’t interere! And like you said, he is a BAD boy!

Thank you pirate I am so hungry!!!

WHOO-HOO!

I did it! I fixed my computer. You’ll never guess who the culprit was: Mr. Microsoft himself. He copied himself three times (talk about multiple personalities!) and disguised himself as my driver. But I had replaced him with Mr. Realtec highspeed driver in May.

Once I sleuthed him out, cowering deep in my hard-drive, I fired him! Three times. It wasn’t easy. first I had to disable him (ouch!) three times. Then I had him uninstalled three times before he gave up and left me alone to my own devices.

So this back up only took me several hours of my life, lots of patience (not) and about a fifth of Royal Crown.

Since I don’t drink in RL (much), you can tell how upset he made me.

But I’ve cleaned up my files, defragged the whole shebang, and unistalled or disabled a slew of programs I didn’t even know I had. I mean, when am I going to have time to make a movie on my computer? Or play Wheel of fortune or chess, for heaven’s sake?

Watch- I’ll be asked to do that this fall, never fails!

I just popped in to see who was here. Hello +++Pirate+++ long time no see. Great to see everyone else as well.

Get this! When I asked my computer to find a better driver, it told me that I already had the best driver there is: Mr. Microsoft!

BWWA-HA-HA-HA! I fixed his little red wagon!

Hi serena Nice to see you.

Hi Dry!

I guess no one could hear me whispering, but I can talk now, for a few minutes, anyways.

HiTabby That was a short visit. Hope you are doing well. You seem to be awfully busy, my little sister.

Take care of yourself, okay?

I need to speak with most of you here. My daughter ladywolf17 has been doing the best she can controlling her self I know that she has done and said stupid things here. some of you notice however that for the past few days, she has improved in her people skills and has manage to find away to keep herself in control.

The thing that bothers me however is, that she was told here that she has to earn friendship. How is that even possible for her, When most of you continue to ignore her, She feels left out, and even though she likes it here, the continuing silent treatment that she continues to receive is beginning to hurt her. You all say that she is loved here. So talk to her when she wants to chat with you all. Or just tell her to leave. She’s not stupid, she will understand if she is not wanted here. I thought that this was supposed to be a place for everyone to have fun, please don’t tell me I’m wrong.

Hmm. Dry’s eating, Pirate’s sailing. cleo’s watching a video, and serena’s done a fly by. What should I do?

Thank you to those who do talk to her.

AAAAAARRRRRRRR, Serena! A good evenin’ ta ye!

shika the computer keeps kicking me off. sorry

Okay this gag has run long enough! Give it up!! We are on to you!

Goodnight my TRUE TRIBE MEMBERS!

Shika You are a great gal, really, but check things out! Trolls come in many different shapes and sizes!

GOOD NIGHT DRY! sweet dreams sister (hug)

Good night all. Peace and Love.

Tabby. You still here?

Okay Dry. I think I see now.

I guess I can be naive sometimes. Forgiven?

Tabby Is Mr. Microsoft being mean to you? Imagine kicking you off your own machine!

The NERVE!

Good Night for real. I didn’t plan to stay up this late. Stupid driver.

Oh well.☺♥☺♥☺♥ :-/

P.S. Did you know that Shika means “deer” in Japanese? Cool! I just found that out today.

Shikamoo means welcome in Swahili, so it’s neat that Shika also means something. I love deer.

ZZZZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

hello all. I am back from my video. Hello Shika.

Shika You just didn’t know because you are too trusting!!

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

And by the way, TINK, We’re on to you too! So give it a rest!!!

And with that Goodnight TRIBE!!!

Cleo

SEE WHAT YOU MISS MY FRIEND!!!!

Of course, I’m pulling a Shika. You mean Tink’s a Troll? How can she harm us?

Hi cleo. I am trying to leave, but I guess I’m wound up from all the stress of the day.

Good night DRY. Thanks for setting me straight.

cleo before I say good night for good, how was the video?

Shika im distracted by a guy on another site. lol and dry do you feel better now? i know i do and you said it not me. but im here…. when i can be. lol love you both Shika and Dry

Love you too tabby. I just can’t stay awake any longer. Late nights don’t agree with me.

((((((tabby))))))

(((((((cleo)))))))

whoo-hoo!-that was a HUG! (wink)

pads away sleepily………..☺

wolfbyte - This is indeed a site to have fun. Deception tends to be a problem and I for one find it difficult to converse with anyone that I find might be deceiving me. I want to build relationships with people that I can easily trust. I do not want to exclude, but I want to talk to people that I do not feel are being anything but themselves. If I sense that someone is being something or someone other than whom they really are, I tend not to respond. I give every one a fair chance, than I decide after a few posts if I want to continue corresponding with that person.

okay guys. im tired ill pitch in tomorrow to help get rid of the trolls if there are any left. love you guys. Dry great job.. Cleo you also.

better yet… i take that back not going to bed yet, pulling a shika.

Is anyone still here or should I just call it a night? I was at league pool and evidently missed a lot of posts.

I agree with what Cleo just said. I do not like deception. I like people that I can trust. I’m not at all comfortable with people who pretend to be other than what they truly are. I’m not seeing the purpose in deceiving others, there are so many worthwhile ways to spend your time.

as you all have noticed, i have not been on here alot lately, h e c k hardly at all. yes i have been busy like i told you all, but the most part as to why i have not been here, is because i am tired of all the drama on here. it used to be so much fun and then we got our little trolls. we get rid of some and now we get these, posers and multi names and such trolls. this is supposed to be a fun site. and yet you come along and ruine it. i am sick and tired of it. the elder are all sick and tired of it. do us all a favor and leave, go find someone else to bother. be gone.

Marg - Hello sweetie.

Am…am I missing something here…?
