Big Top by Rob Harrell for November 30, 2009

Surprise!

Decided to pop in for the daily rollover.

Breakfast menu: Eggs benedict on a chrome plate Canadian/Back Bacon Huevos Rancheros Buttermilk pancakes Waffles with shipped crean and strawberries Dark hot chocolate with a scoop of French vanilla ice cream Assorted pastries and fruit platter Freshly squeezed orange juice

Doc can make the coffee since I don’t know how…

Good Morning DFrog!

Awesome breakfast! I’l have Huevos Rancheros, bacon, and Doc’s coffee from my pipeline.

I’ll also add “Johanan’s CocoMocha” to the menu!

Dusty, I am with you on the danged sensors!

Good Morning Marg & Carmy!

Can I get some nuclear coffee?

Morning Tribe!

How come half the comics have not switched to Monday yet? This site is a major pain at times…

GOOD MORNING, DF, TERRY, CARMY, AND jpSTEVE!

I’ll have assorted pastries and fruit, please!

Good Morning DF, Terry and JP Steve! Hey DF, that sure was a surprise. I’ll have the pancakes and some hot chocolate with the ice cream. Thank you!

I don’t even what to know what Dusty was thinking!

Good Morning JP Steve!

Doc’s coffee coming your way!

Well, I’m off to bed, please make sure the leftovers get put in the fridge for the morning group.

Later all!

Good Night DFrog.

Good Morning Marg!

Boo hiss! Where’s the fun in that?

Good night, not feeling too great, so off to bed I go…

Good Night Marg!

Hope you feel better tomorrow.

The early edition of CocoMocha is served! More to be ready on Monday moanin’…:)

Good Morning Johanan

I had already whipped some up!

Good Night DF, Marg, Terry and Rakkav! Marg, I hope you feel better tomorrow too.

Good Night (((((((Carmy)))))))!

(((((((Terry)))))))

Morning Tribe

My coffee pot only has an on/off button. Can I get a NUC upgrade or do I have to go to Windows-7?

Good morning and Happy Monday!! DFrog thanks for breakfast. Marg hope you’re feeling better.

Lewreader there are nuclear coffee pipelines running through the country. I know one goes to the Chicago area and one to Northern GA. I’m sure you can get one to your house if you don’t mention it to the zoning people in your town.

Good morning all! It’s Monday I see. Oh well, it will be over soon enough. Off to work. bbl

Good Morning Lewreader, Johnny, Akenta, Doc and anyone else I might have missed.

Good Morning Mopar!

Doc, I see we have quite a few strips that did not update. What’s up with that?

Doctor Toon and Tribe, while your method of bulk transport of Nuclear Coffee is both efficient and energy-saving, it is still rather quaint. CocoMocha can be delivered by space-time portal right to your kitchen table. You need only set our free target marker where you want the cup to appear.

Good morning, all! That’s all.

Good Morning Johanan & Dcguys

morning all. well see its been an intresting morning to start it all offf. well its raining here i got the good car this week so no worries about that. well it turns out that my umbrella is either in the other car or in the house. i spilt my 1.50 drink all over me and the floor as if i was not wet enough from the rain. but the good news is that im on the internet at school. here safe and sound. teacher should be here any min. not ready for this class i so dont like it. but its almost over. this week is the last week of classes. :D happy happy joy joy. ill tell u when she gets here.

she is here. see ya. peace and love all wish me luck. bye bye

p.s. if i get back on here after this before 9 fuss at me bc i could get this taken away from me. love you guys.

Good Morning Tabby

Good luck at school. See you L8tr!

Good Morning all. Happy Monday to you. I have been doing anything I want in my dreams my entire life. My dreams are so vivid it is like I have two lives, one when awake and one when asleep. Believe me, the one when I am asleep is far more interesting.

I shall have the Huevos *DF* kind sir.

Hey Doc. What is facing you this fine day? I have to go to town to do some shopping. Hopefully Costco will be quiet.

Hey DF, you can make breakfast anyday! Great menu, and I will have the eggs benedict and canadian bacon! Thank you kind sir!

Good morning everyone!

Akenta you keep yourself too scarce!

Thanks Doc, for lettiing me sleep in my last day off!

Good morning tribe!

Tabby: invest in several umbrellas one for each car, one for home, maybe a compact for your backpack. I saw some at the Dollar Tree the other day. Either that or buy a raincoat with a hood. I opt for that since around here it usually rains sideways and my hands are full of too much other stuff to carry an umbrella.

Good Morning Cleo, Saucy & Dry!

hi all im back. Saucy that would be smart. i normal keep it in the car when im not in school and in my bag when in school. i switched cars and had Ana when i did so so my brain was so not there. lol is it ever? i have a ponco thing somewhears. :o)

Hey all! Just got a converter box last night: Didn’t study last night because I watching the game. Didn’t study much today because the Great Escape is on…. uh oh…

(((((((((((((TRIBE))))))))))

1st official day of vacation and I’m off to a crackin’ start. I rolled out of bed about 10:30am and sat on the edge watching BBC AMERICA until about noon. But I did get dressed and have loaded the dishwasher. Still have the stove and counters to clean as well as some organizing.

I hope everyone is hale and healthy and having great days.

Tabby Lynn said, about 1 class ago

“oh before i forget Doc i try and try to learn something every day, but hey if they dont teach you anything new u cant learn anything new. lol love you man.”

I’m with DocT on this one: school and teachers are responsible for teaching you the curriculum, but in the end, you are responsible for what you learn, and particularly for all those things not taught in the curriculum. You can always learn something new from every teacher–even if it’s just how not to teach. And, you can always find something to learn: a new word, a new and exciting idea, a new joke…

Hi Johnny, The Great Escape, one of my all time favorites! GREAT movie!

Hi bmonk yes, Tabby, he is correct. You can learn something new every day, even if it’s just something trivial, like using a clean coffee filter to separate your cermaic bowls in the cupboard (courtesy Heloise), you still have learned something new!

Hi Quaby

Goodnite Doc!

Good Morning Johnny, Quaby & Bmonk

Good Night Doc, catch you later!

Johnny, I agree with Dry, great movie!

why do i feel like u are all gaing up on me? okay i will learn something new each day. no worries. thanks u guys. man you are all a bunch of parents. :D love ya.

i have about 20 mins till class so im all y’all’s till then.

Jdoc i think that box is going to get you in trouble just like me having internet on my computer at school its just to tempting. lol i only got on once in class so i did good. but u are not studding what are we going to do wiht you?

why are you all gone when i get on? i am so hurt. hump or is it a b not a p? who knows

Just be careful with that ‘puter in class, Tabby. ;-)

@Tabby, we just worry because we care about you and hope to know you will fulfill your promise.

If that makes us parents, so be it.

I think the word you want is “Humph!”

Terry

turst me i will. this think cost WAY tomuch to be careless with. no getting it taken away. no sir no way.

Oops, time to go! See you later, ‘gators! (I know, unless you see me first…)

Tabby, I think you mean………hrmph or hmph. Both mean the expression you are trying to give out.

bmonk intresting link there. look i learned something else today. LOL

terry that would be it i think im so lost now after that story.

bmonk intresting link there. look i learned something else today. LOL

terry that would be it i think im so lost now after that story.

i ate tomuch food. my tummy hurts.

hey all it is now snowing in El Paso… intresting wonder what that holds for Louisiana?

bleeep its almost time. :( dont make me go.

Tabby,

Are you still here?

for now.

Terry

okay i have to go now. but i am loving you guys. peace and love all.

((((HUGS))))

Tabby

I’ve got to go out and work on Wolfangil’s mother’s car. Not looking forward to that today. But I can wait another 15 minutes and drink coffee! LOL

Where did you run off to Dry?

Oh well, I guess you’re busy and I need to get some work done. I’ll check in on my “coffee break”. BBS

okay all i am back till 3 and its 1:47 so looking good. lol so can i take a nap also?

i needto get a new pic

okay now i have a new pic. if anyone is unable to tell what it is, well i am sorry. to me it is plain as day. lol

@♠Lonewolf♠, if you had DocT’s nuclear coffee, you could just sent it along to check in! LOL…

@Tabby Lynn, see, learning need not be painful… And if you’ve never read the “Just So Stories”, they are lots of fun.

@Tabby, it looks like “Flipper”!

@Bmonk it is a “Flipper” lol good job man!

also i like your avatar. its supper cute. lol i have not read them before going to have to start reading them. thanks for the tip

i just saw the tags on todays comic. very funny guys.

wow im sitting outside my class in the hall because its not 3 yet and like 5 of our 20 people just showed up. its only 2:15 people u are making me nervous. ahh its our final exam today, could be why they are there im ready for it.

6 people people!!! ahh whats going on here?!!

marco!!!!!

POLO!!!

polo!

Hey Tabby. My great grandmother used to say she knew she wasn’t dead yet because she learned something new each day.

polo!!!!

thanks you two. polo it is!!!

well i have to go i have a friend here now.

One can always learn something new, even if it’s not to stick your hand in a crack because……

…it isn’t all it’s cracked up to be…

Even if it is a neato way to crack all your knuckles simultaneously!

Ouch! That’s as bad a sound as velcro being separated.

That’s OK–at least I haven’t been breaking tribal rules by discussing politics. Or religion. At least–not here…

Bmonk Liked the Rudyard Kipling “Just So” story. Forgot about that one.

@celecca, I have a mind like a steel trap–little ever gets out. I constantly surprise myself by what I can dredge up. Some of it even fits, more or less…

I am constantly surprised at the stray thoughts and memories that creep in my brain. Right now I’ve got Stan Freberg running thru my head and it’s not pretty - I may have to do a search for lyrics.

Doggone. 2 hours already. Cleaning the kitchen is so much fun!!

Anyone home? (hollow echos)

Oh well.

sweep sweep dust dust

Well, I’m off to clean the last counter then go to the back for a bit. Got Festival Choir tonight. Have fun, tribe.

Done for the day at last!! Parts are on order, customer’s have been contacted, garage has been cleaned, Wolfangil is home(well she goes to her quilt meeting tonight) and tonight is MNF!!

Life is good!

Good evening, Terry & anyone else still around! I just got done with school for the day - unless you count planning for future lessons. As much as I’d like to stay around and chat, I’ve got a ton of stuff to take care of that I couldn’t do while teaching algebra. Have fun!

home home at last. so hows it going. lol with the joke about the cracks. love it.

Good Evening Rmom

TERRY hello buddy

Good Evening **Tabby!!

I’m just cracking up over all this crackled talk going on around here! LOL

Tabby, I hope your day was good all day long!

Terry i did not have a bad day but i did not have a great day but it was a good day. i had u all most of the day so it made it okay and i had my lovey lap top that i have named …waite for it waite for it….Little Buddy …….. bang boom boom.! no im not crazy.

i was cracking up on the crak jokes also. lol

Terry, how was your day?

Tabby

My day was good also. I figured out what was wromg with two cars, repaired one and ordered parts for the other one. It went well. James’ teacher called with a problem but nothing major, so not too bad. And tonight is MNF! YES!

I like the name of your ‘puter!!!

Tabby

And don’t worry, we all get cracked up sometimes……………

lol who are u rooting for in MNF? and what did James do? is he in trouble? is he okay? talk to me. hes like my little bro that i dont know. lol

I like my name for my ‘puter also. lol

terry one of these days u are going to have to teach me to do that. (put a pic up)

by the way great pic. we can get cracked up together anytime

( wow that does not sound good. are we doing drugs man or the laughing cracked up?)

Tabby, I want to see the Patriots win. James didn’t tell me (during the week off for Turkey Day) that he had an project due this Wednesday. And it is on two musical groups(3 Doors Down and I forget the name of the other one)! Like I said no biggie!

Tabby, I don’t think we have to worry about getting high with those eggs!

LOL yea i think with those eggs we are safe.

oh James has it easy, what grade is he in?

and i want any team but the saints to win. i hate the saints i had a bad experiance with them.

dont have spell check on this comptuer yet. sorry guys

Tabby*

He’s in 8th grade. But I don’t cut him any slack for assignments that are not completed! He needs a very good excuse and from what I’ve seen he is alive, so no excuses! LOL

Terry LOL good one. think i could send u this kid here? by bro is so stupid and puts things off. u have a point with hes alive so no exucses funny love it so using it

wow he is young! lol i just relized what grade. by bro is in 10th. i feel old. :o(

going to be working on hw and talking here to keep me awake dont go fussing at me and dont run off bc im doing that. i can do both at the same time and u guys make it go by faster and so much more fun. and i know when enough is enough and must stop. now is not the time. so no one run off.

ROFLMTO Tabby, your along way from old!

Tabby

I’m going to be working on my laptop doing some software schtuff. I’ll be checking in and out. :-)

Tabby, To me that looks like ot could be fun!

heck can i go back to bed also? i like the way you think

You people are nuts!

And I am rooting for the Saints! Sorry Tabby! They deserve it, until they meet up with Brett and the Vikings!

Dry in time i will tell u what they did to me. personaly

Sorry, the Saints are going no where! And the Vikings can’t………………………………….Oh never mind, you don’t understand! LOL

Thought you didn’t like football, Doc!?

i went to a game a while back and they were playing themselfs. (sounds stupid i know, i did not come up with it) this was when i liked them. i went down to get there signuatures and not one not two but three of them handed the ball back to me empty as can be no signuatues at all. one even had the guts to tell me, “i dont sign foot balls for girls” i was ticked. so i went sit down the rest of the stupid game and was very hurt. my step brother kept rubbing it in my face he got them to sign his stuff and i didnt it was a bad day

okay so i took the time to tell u all.

my bro is saying they are going to make it there then lose. LOL LOVE IT

Hello Dry!

Hello Doc!

Oh Terry, Please! The Vikings can’t what? Beat the Bears? Can’t win the division? Can’t win what? Say it, and we’ll just see how the season plays out! You might be right, you might be WRONG!

Easy Dry, geez louise. just messin with you girl! :-)

Tabby I’m sorry for your experience. Most players are glad to do that for anyone. You may have picked the wrong players. Some of them are full of themselves, but most aren’t.

Yes Terry, you’re just messing with me!

Doc, next thing I’ll hear is that you are rooting for the Angels in baseball, too!

I’m sorry Dry!

man how rude. i have been at the table doing hw for idk how long now and dad walks in bangs on the door bc its locked bro is in the shower and didnt get a towl to dry off with so calls me to get him one. dad sits donw and the table and starts talking on the phone all loud like i had the stupid speakers all the way up on my computer and the headphones on and i could not here the people. so i picked up and stomed off to my room i can still hear him back here. bro has on the tv in the living room man i miss the quite of my teachers house. :(

Terry we dont call her FHIG for nothing! lol

you two be nice please. for my sake. :oP i need some sanity from somewhears.

i know doc but here is saner then home.

* HI TRIBE!*

HOW LONG DOES FOOTBALL SEASON LAST?

Just asking.

bye doc hi shika

Shika great timing i have to go eat now. :( no fun. peace and love all bbl

Not that I have any reason for asking. (Innocent look on her face.)

Hello Shika!

That’s right Tabby! FHIG! Football, my team, Brett, don’t MESS WITH ME! As I said, I am LOYAL!

You screw with me or one of my own, (FOR WHATEVER REASON), YOU’RE GOIN’ DOWN BABY! LOL! (KIND OF)

No more talking about football for me until I am not getting chewed out for it.

Whaddya mean, good timing! So you can leave?

Hi Doc I’ll root for the Saints, Angels, Red Sox- anything clean. (I’m assuming they wash their Socks) I wonder if there is sports in heaven?

SHIKA,How long does football season last?

NOT LONG ENOUGH!!!

Well, I hadn’t planned on going to pool league tonight, but the Captain of the team just called and says he needs me to be there. Need to get ready-will check in before I go!

Good Night Doc!

Catch you later!

Not long enough?

Oy Vey, am I in for it now….

Hi Terry!

Doc’s gone already?

Gee I miss a lot when I’m at school all day.

And when I’m home all day too….

TOO LONG!

At least as far as tonight goes!

Have a good game Terry.

I’m afraid I’m not much company for you during football season Dry. I don’t know one end of the football field from the other.

But on the bright side, I’ll be glad to root for your team and whoever you want me to root for.

As long as I don’t have to watch.

Deal?

Now, now Terry. You two play nice, or you’ll be sent to your rooms. LOL

And now Dry has disappeared. Tabby’s eating, and Terry’s going to pool.

Guess I’ll get back to work.

BBL

Shika, DEAL! Just root for the Vikings and Brett Favre, to take it all the way and win the Super Bowl, and you’re good in my book! :-D

Deal!

Is Brett Favre cute?

Ooh. The Vikings. I like the sound of that. Hagar the Horrible is my fav cartoon. Well, almost.

Do they wear helmets with horns on them?

Lost her again.

Dishes anyone?

Mua, come help mama clean the dishes.

BBL

Shika, Brett is a cutie. The horns on their helmets are painted on. Yikes, can you imagine what would happen if they had real horns?

Alright I’m outta here. Have fun y’all!

Since you’ll be gone to bed when I get back…………………Good Night Shika!

Good Night Dry

Good Night Tabby! In case I don’t see you later either!

Hi Carmy I’ve seen enough football to imagine. Ew.

Maybe I should google this Brett to see for myself.

Gotta say hi to Sweetie!

Hi Carmy see you later!

Outta here for sure!

Terry, what am I? Chopped liver? Speaking of liver…

SHIKA, Is Brett cute? OMG! HE IS GORGEOUS, AND THE BEST QUARTERBACK EVER, AND MAN HE LOOKS GREAT IN WRANGLER JEANS!

AND YES, THE VIIKING HORNS ARE ON THE HELMETS!

Shika google him, YOU WON’T BE DISAPPOINTED, TRUST ME! He has a boyish grin, and the best thing about him, HE TRULY LOVES THE GAME! NO FAKE EMOTIONS, YOU CAN SEE IT IN HIS FACE WITH EVERY PLAY, WHETHER THE PLAY IS GOOD OR BAD!

Carmy, look on the previous page dear!

I said Good Night right after I said it to Dry & Shika!

Good NIght Dry!

Good night Terry! Go Saints! :-)

Terry, you type faster than I do!

Me thinks that Dry has a crush. a VERY BIG

CRUSH

(((((((((((((MoPar)))))))))))))

Hope you get your energy back.

Hi cleo Just in time to start saying good night.

Notice I said, START saying good night.

May as well be realistic. LOL

CLEO, ADMIRATION AND RESPECT, FOR A GREAT QB, CAN I HELP IT IF HE’S CUTE BESIDES?!

(((((MoPar)))))

skika- nice to see you sweetie. I am off to watch a movie. It doesn’t seem like there are enough hours in the day anymore.

Thanks for saying hello cleo! It’s just my timing. I wind down about now, and you guys come alive. I used to have more energy at night. Gee, do you think all this reading and writing papers has anything to do with it?

Dry He IS cute! No wonder you like him. I didn’t know football players could be cute too.

:-D

Oh My Shika, You have missed SO MUCH! You need to pay more attention to football! LOL!

(((((((MoPar))))))) I have learned that rest is best. You need to rest as much as you can. Dry, when I was much, much younger, I had a big crush on Charlie Waters from the Dallas Cowboys.

Carmy That was a while back! #41, yes he was a cutie! HOWEVER, I must reiterate, for all the jelaous menfolk around here, I like Brett for what he brings to the GAME! The fact that he is CUTE AS A BUTTON, is just a BONUS!

Dry, I agree with you about Brett. He was great in “Something About Mary” too!

Carmy Something about Mary? What did I miss? But then I don’t watch many movies anymore.

Dry, the movie, “Something About Mary” it starred Ben Stiller and Cameron Diaz. Brett had a small part as Cameron’s character’s former BF.

Carmy yes, I just googled it. No wonder I never knew about it! Don’t like Ben Stiller that much and don’t like those type of movies much either. He didn’t have grey hair then! LOL!

hi all i am back sorry it has been 3 hours i sware i was not eatting that long. i spent 2 hours with walking budddy in the store both of us looking at makeup like some idiots. we dont ware makeup but for her new job she has to ware it. she is not happy about that but she got a job thats great.

Carmy hi my lovely friend Dry hi she who has crush on QB and chears for the saints shakes head in shame Shika sorry i keep missing u terry have a great game. Doc night Mopar ((((((HUGS))))) Cleo hi buddy, got clothes on, need to know before i hug u. :D

Good evening kids. I just got back from going out to watch the game tonight (I can get used to being 21.) Dry, I am now a big Vikings fan. I just bet that the NFC would win the super bowl, and I don’t lose bets often.

wow okay i know who Brett is now. i knew i knew that name then i put the face to it and yep i know who he is. okay i have to admit he is per say “cute” but omg dry come on. lol love ya

((((((((((((((there’s my JOHNNY!!))))))))))))))

lol Dry

Oh, because I am rooting for your beloved Brett now, I get a hug? How matriarchal!

Jdoc yea you see that also.

Carmy

sorry it took me so long. i love you girl.

mopar i have been gone for a week, they didn’t tell you? for shame (as dry says) sorry man. arent they just so cute. lol

MoPar manly men? Well, Brett, Tom Selleck, Troy Polamalu, let’s see, who else comes to mind? *

Hey MoPar, sorry, I gave up on the Lions, I am Ravens fan now.

And don’t call Favre a manly man. Speaking of football, It would appear that I have lost to Terry by less than 1 point!

D’OH!

After that last comment, I think I’d best run away now! Good night all and for all (especially Dry! ) PEACE and love!

night jdoc peace and love to you also

Oh Dear,I forgot to includeJohnny in the manly men category! And i mean that as a proud “mom” with a handsome son!

Goodnight all!

mopar i most cerntaily missed you as well. i live in a daze.

Dry dont say hi to me and dont say bye either then. :op night sleep good.

Yea MoPar, but he’s no longer with us! :-( What a loss! And I am gone now!

was that a Shika move? i do believe it was.

yea my battery says 13% so i need to turn it off and get to bed also. class at 9:30 out the door at 8:20 to get there.

did carmy go to bed and i miss her? :o(

hi marg how are you feeling? hope better. love you mom also.

okay night all peace and love all. loving u tribe.

mopar feel better
