Good Morning Tribe

Great breakfast once again, Grog!

I’ll have 2 eggs sunny side up, bacon, hash browns and Doc’s Nuclear Coffee, please.

If I may, allow me to add pickled jalapenos and tequila, for those who have stayed up late.

The salt shaker is over here.

Hey, Grog! What happened? No one was here when I made breakfast!

I’ll have your pork ham and panfried potatoes and a beer (half a glass) to help me sleep.

Good job Dusty! That would stop ANYBODY!!

Hi, Shika.

Good Morning Grog, Shika and Dry! I’ll have a CocoMocha and make it a double. I’m not too hungry right now. Thank you, Grog and Shika!

Hi Hymenoxsis! Long time! How are you?

I’ll have some of that tequila please, Hymenoxis.

Yeah FELLOW BABY! Now that’s a hearty breakfast! Here you go!

HI Dry!

Hi Carmy

Hi all!

Quite well, Shikamoo, thank you. Are you well?

(pours shots)

Yes. I am well thanks. I just finished my income tax return with a refund coming.

I finished exams last week, so I am good to go.

Congratulations. Living well is the best revenge.

I guess everyone’s sleepy and gone to bed.

Sweet Dreams friends.

*HY* You are right. A toast to life!

Nighty night.

And Good Night1 thanks for breakie Grog

Night Dry Night Carmy

Night all.

Shika, I have a prepared menu in word that I adjust accordingly to meet special requests. Just copy & paste. Heheh!

Hy, great idea (and Dry will like it ,too?)

Orders up, folks!

Hi Shika, Grog, Dry, Carmy, Terry, and Hy!

Wow, two breakfast menus! I’ll have a cheese and sweet pepper omelette, and some Lady Grey tea, please.

Shika…while we may…let us piss on our enemies and drink to our friends.

Or otherwise, depending on your political viewpoint.

Or just drink.

(drinks)

(sweep, sweep)

OK, Hi Hy, Shika (& Bye), Dry, Carmy, Marg, JFri ♠Lonewolf♠, WoodEye, Lewreader, Doctor Toon, Rmom, LuvH8 and the rest of the Tribe!

Thank you Grog for the fantastic breakfast.

Thank you Hymenoxis for the tequila.

Cheers then *Hy*

morning Marg!

Official Shika move.

Night, Grog.

The bar is most certainly open. I’ve found new vodkas that taste even less like dirt than the previous ones.

Good night, Hy. Shika, I thought you were leaving. Woops. Sorry about that!

I’ve found fruit juices so obscure that they can only be obtained by scraping them from the skin of pre-pubescent Indonesian girls who run naked through wild jungles.

I’ve got orange flavored, an grape.

Good Morning, ElDo Disc Golf.

I like the grape.

ElDo Disc Golf, the bar is most certainly open. Thanks for dropping by. Here’s your drink.

Good Morning hymenoxis, and Marg! Goodnight Shika! Woo hoo on your refund and finishing your exams!!

Yeah, Carmy. I suppose it can’t get much better than that. Goodnight, Shika??!

Ew, Lizard Boy and Warty the Toad-Lady! Not a pretty picture there!

Good morning TRIBE. Way to go Dusty. The day is save thanks to your quick thinking.

Good morning, LW18! Sorry your still stuck in Californy!

Good Morning, Ladywolf.

That’s okay because I like California. I just don’t care about the Earthquakes is all.

Goodnight Grog, Shika, Dry, Hymenoxis and Marg!

LW18, I almost forgot. Check out a link I left on last night’s strip. I had you in mind, in particular, when I left it there. A little something from a Montreal toonist.

Good night, Carmy!

Okay Grog thank you!

I saw it Grog and thank you for thinking of me, that was very kind of you.

Good night BIG TOP, and Good night TRIBE.

With that I say “Good night and may the good news be yours. Les Nessman signing off!”

Good Night Ladywolf & Grog.

Catch you all after the sunrise……………………

Good Morning, Doc.

I’m still around for a little bit.

Doc, I’m having one more cup of that famous Nuclear Coffee before I hit the horizontal position.

Doc–Yes, it does. I wouldn’t trade for anything in the mornings.

In re: Lonewolf’s question on Birdbrains (which see) and in honor of the biblical Sabbath, today the CocoMocha is spiked with Sabra liqueur from Israel (any one of the three varieties available).

That sounds delicious, Johanan. Great idea, sir!

Doc, I know what you are saying. Luckily, Wolfangil doesn’t drink it so she makes it the way I like it. She doesn’t have to taste it. When her mother comes over, it’s a much more milder pot for sure! LOL

Good Night, Doc.

Catch you later today! I’m out of here, too!

Good Night, Everyone.

P&L

Well, phoey!

Good Morning, LuvH8. How are you?

I just checked back in for a second before heading to sleep.

Sorry I missed you, LuvH8. Good Night, Dear.

Well, double phoey!

I missed your last post by 2 minutes Lonewolf! Rest In Peace! Maybe I will catch you tomorrow?

Oh…my head hurts.

(sweep, sweep)

(scrub, polish)

(empties ashtrays)

I’m afraid I must retract the previous mention of “juices”. As it turns out, those were more in the nature of “esters”, which is to say chemically active and volitile substances used primarily in the drug and cosmetic industries. While they had, and to my misfortune still have the flavor of grape and orange, they are not suitable for consumption in their unprocessed, original state. Research continues.

(sweep, wander about randomly)

Although the grape flavor does go well with rum.

(scrub, stare at tile pattern)

Wifey Bits and I acquired two shelter rescue cats some time ago, “SallyCat” and “Boo Boo Kitty”, and, oddly, neither oft them is vocal in the least. Both were quite shy on arrival, to the extent that we had to take care if one held sway in one’s lap; the least noise would cause them to go tear-assing across the room, leaving torn flesh and blue language behind.

I just lifted Boo Boo Kitty, who has the habit of licking one’s toes if one stands still in front of the refrigerator too long, and brought her with me back to the computer station. She purred.

I realize that in most locales this would not be considered note-worthy. Most cats purr. Boo Boo Kitty, however, has yet to utter a sound excepting this. She is now crawling though my little desk, from shelf to shelf, disorganizing my carefully piled disks and showing rather more bottom than is considered acceptable in polite society.

Life is a series of small victories, I suppose.

GROG Again you have presented a tasty repast but alas, I’m on a diet so I must limit my selection. I’ll take the assorted ice creams, all flavors please. Ben and Jerry’s is on sale for 2/$5 but they only let you eat 4 per day and they don’t provide spoons.

DOC TOON You inspired me yesterday with your hypothesis that Nuc Coffee could topple governments. I’m going to try putting sugar in mine and I’m going for King of the World.

Morning TRIBE! The coffee beans came marching one by one, hurray, hurrah—–

Great. Now I’m going to have THAT song going through my head all day….

Lewreader and the Brain, Lewreader and the Brain, One is a genius, The other is insane! They’re caffeinated twice By Nuclear device! Lewreader, Lewreader and the Brain, Brain, Brain, Brain, Brain, Brain, Brain, Brain, Brain, BRAIN!

Before each night is done Their plan will be unfurled; By the dawning of the sun They’ll take over the world!

Lewreader and the Brain Lewreader and the Brain Their twilight campaign Is easy to explain. To prove their coffee’s worth, They’ll overthrow the Earth! Lewreader, Lewreader and the Brain, Brain, Brain, Brain, Brain, Brain, Brain, Brain, Brain, NARF!

Good Morning, Hy, Lewreader & Johanan!

(puts in “Doctor Strangelove”)

Good Morning, Doctor Toon!

Cat in heat story-

Wifey and I were recently married and living in Brunswick, Maine. Our car was broken, the propane tank was empty, and the cat was in heat. We had thirty dollars to our name.

The decision was simple- we got the cat fixed.

The female cat in heat is a most bemanding creature.

I’d love to stick around, but It’s looking like a beautiful morning so far. Got some errands to run anyway.

Catch you all later.

“I can no longer sit back and allow communist infiltration, communist indoctrination, communist subversion, and the international communist conspiracy to sap and impurify all of our precious bodily fluids.”

I love Stanley Kubrick.

Good Morning All. It is one of those PNW mornings that gives everyone the idea that it is gray and rainy up here.

hymenoxis, if you are around, I have a jar in my liquor cabinet filled with tequila, pineapple and jalapeno.

Morning, Cleo. It’s a clear, blue morning here in North Texas. Like Grog, I feel the need to get about, but I’ve got “Doctor Strangelove” on the big screen.

Dr. Strangelove is a terrific movie.

Cleo-

What a magnificent infusion. Give me a heads-up if you open the jar.

Good Morning Everyone

Hello Doc, Cleo, Grog, Hymenoxis, Lewreader & Johanan

Terrific is a good description. Not the best way to start a day, I suppose, but I blame Lewreader (see above, coffee beans marching one by one ).

Good Morning Doc. Headed off to find coffee…………….

BBS

Morning, Lone.

Good Morning Doc & Terry. hymenoxis, just help yourself to the tequila. I have an open bar. Have you had any more spa parties?

Cleo-

We’re scheduled for one tonight, my brother and his wife. Landscaping in the meantime.

The idea of infused tequila is fascinating. Have you done this before with good results?

Aside from the obvious occasional agave worm, of course.

Catch you later, Doc.

Morning, Terry! I’m still feeling groggy - guess Grog forgot the Pepsi again for us non-coffee caffeine addicts. Breakfast sounds good, but I promised my youngest son a week ago that I’d make biscuits & gravy today. Usually hubby helps, but he went back to work this morning, so I’ll have to do all the baking & cooking myself.

Good Morning, Rmom.

Hy loved your story about BooBoo Kitty at your desk!

Rmom, I’ve always got Pepsi in the fridge. One coming right up for you.

Fellow Baby, good sign off! You get those tapes/CD’s yet?

Including, but never limited to: cleokaya, hymenoxis, Doctor Toon, ♠Lonewolf♠, Rmom, & Dry.

Dusty is quite persuasive, but it’s not his charm…

Good Morning Everyone!!

Good Morning Bmonk.

Thanks, Terry! Good morning, bmonk! - I like your choice of the joke theme for next week. I’ve got a lot of good ones ready. Hi, LuvH8! - I just loved your sign you posted last night. Like the threat of instant death isn’t enough? Hi, Dry and anyone else I missed!

Hi Lonewolf, Rmom & Bmonk!

Thank you Rmom ~ I really liked it when I saw it last night.

Bmonk ~ I’ve been slowly reading the old Non Sequitur strip. Has this been a problem you’ve encountered?

Not so you’d notice. We don’t get many punk monks–or goths or others.

Of course, how could you tell a goth monk? Black clothes?

Missed you twice early this morning, LuvH8.

Bmonk ~ It could be the black eyeliner that gives it away. Of course the ‘emo’ people have taken most of the fashion of the goths.

Gee Lonewolf you’d have thought they would have taught you how to aim better in the military.

LuvH8, I hear you loud and clear (Scooby Doo).

I need to stat getting ready for pool. Be back before I leave.

Pool again! When is the competition over? Good Luck today!

Gone for Now!

LuvH8, it’s a pool league most of the time. Occasionally I enter tournaments. My leagues are Thursday evening and Saturday afternoons, but I don’t play every week. You have eight players, but only five play on a given day. Everybody gets to play about the same number of times for each “season”.

Catch you all later. Have fun Everyone! P&L

Good afternoon all! …That’s all I got…

Good afternoon, Doc & johnny! I’ve got done with making and eating biscuits & sausage gravy. Now, I’ve got to get laundry and some other things around here done. I’ll pop in & out.

Doc-

There’s something about new tires…rather like a good, detailed cleaning…the vehicle just seems happier.

Dry-

Just scrolled up and saw your comment…thanks.

Hi Everyone!

Ah…THAT sort of tire replacement.

(apologies to Milne)

Hymenoxis - I know that I feel happier when the vehicle that I drive the most gets new tires, new wipers & a good cleaning inside & out. Probably I need to add vacuuming the car(s?) to my to-do-list for today.

Howdy, Mizz Luv.

Hello Hymenoxis, I really like your avatar!

It’s my favorite picture of Uncle Albert. Makes me think I could have a beer with the guy.

Yours is scary. Maybe we could do shots.

Hello Doc T - When I first read your comment I thought you were saying the driver was a screw. I reread it because I thought it should say the driver was screwy, but I guess I was wrong.

Rmom ~ Hello! Don’t forget the oil, filter, spark plug, etc. changes.

Hello Tribe. Sorry that I missed you all last night. You all seemed to have fun, so that makes me happy. :-)

Howdy, LW.

Doc T PHOOEY!!!!

Hymenoxis ~ I don’t drink alcohol, but I used to love to shoot my brother’s BB gun. You can empty the bottles and I can take shots at them!

Hi LW18 ~ I keep on missing you. How was your date? Any plans for the weekend? How is your cousin doing?

I……love……your…….little…..sign,……Luv……H8!

How……are…….you……today?

Hello again, Tribe

Grog…howdy.

Dry, right now I am having myself a rather stacked corned beef & ham sandwich with pepper jack cheese, kosher dills and the sweet & spicy mustard. Very nice.

I can’t wait to try the cauliflower tonight!

Thank you for the chocolate milkshake! I am browsing photobucket for pictures to use on emails and comics. The library computer goes fast on that and slower than mine on GoComics. ~ go figure! I’m thinking about trying to boil some more eggs today.

Hy, have you been out yet? It’s a fantastic day out here today. The humidity is gone too. My errands took longer than I thought, but it was so nice I wish I was still out there.

(eats leftover gazpacho, wishing for corned beef)

My date was wonderful.Though I’ll just keep the details to myself.

This weekend, I probably hang out with my friends in a little bit.

As for my cousin, she’s doing okay, but when it comes to talking with her on the telephone…… well she literally talks my ear off.

LuvH8, just try to stay awake while your boiling those eggs

Grog- I’ve been in pool-maintenance mode most of the morning, between laundry runs. It’s gorgeous out there, if a bit windy. Wifey is in her small bathing suit on the chaise lounge beside the pool.

Life is good.

Hmmm, I need a pool!

Oh, well. I’ve got corned beef. Life is good.

Oh! Oooops! Sorry Grug!

LW18 ~ I’m glad you enjoyed your date. Have fun with your friends! I hope not, they don’t grow back you know!!!!

Grog…anyone can have a pool, provided they’re willing to endebt themselves for the rest of the forseeable future. It’s easy.

Good corned beef, on the other hand, is rare. My hat is off.

Now, if we were talking pastrami…nice and lean and cut thin…

Grog I saw a pool at the grocery store for less than 20 dollars! (Of course it probably won’t impress anyone over the age of 2.)

(eats gazpacho and dreams)

Has anyone seen ‘X-men Origins Wolverine’? If so is it any good?

Hy, I find it hard to find a good lean pastrami. I even found Jason’s Deli to be rather disappointing a few weeks back when I went there for lunch. Very fatty.

LuvH8, sorry that you keep on missing me. At least I know that I can find you here. These days I am pretty busy With school and work. That’s the reason why I don’t log on mostly until the evening.

Hi hymenoxis How are you? Hows the new pool?

Happy Rodent Dance! Run Away!

Grog- agreed. I find Jason’s pastrami to be fatty and stringy. There’s a deli in Fort Worth that supposedly has really good pastrami, but I haven’t had the chance to try it.

Gone for Now! Have a Good Day!

LW- all is well here. The pool installation was thankfully problem free, so far. We’ve used the spa several times, because it’s small and easy (and cheap) to heat. Today is the first time we’ve tried to heat the whole pool; my brother and his wife are coming over this evening.

I can’t stand stringy pastrami…….or stringy anything for that matter.

Well this beautiful day awaits me, so I shall take my leave now and see you all later on. May you all have blessings of peace and love.

Later, LW18 ———- That rodent just won’t stop dancing!

Jason’s does make a fine Reuben, however.

Yes, they do, Hy. I’ll give them that much.

Well, I’m done with my sandwich. I think I’ll foolw Doctor Toon’s example and take a nap.

BBL.

There, save for laundry, goest I.

I gotta fold undies.

hymenoxis sorry, I had to do some work (clean out garage) and didn’t get back. I am always trying new things with liquor. I could probably work as a bartender except I suck at telling jokes.

Hello TRIBE

Well, looks like I have the honor of first flag on sexymm and her cheap knockoffs.

*Hy* you’ve been very chatty today, makes me sad that today I was out all day.

Luv8 I liked X-Men Origins: Wolverine It sorta made sense as to why Wolverine doesn’t remember much of his past.

Okay, Stormy update: She’s still hanging in there. Noticeably weaker, though. She can’t easily jump up on stuff she could get up to last week. A few times I’ve woke up to find her laying on her side, legs out, breathing slowly. After a few minutes she perks up and usually demands I drop everything and feed her. Mind you, it’s usually about 3am. Overall she seems comfortable and reasonably content, and enjoying the times I can hold her for extended periods of time.

Later I’ll mention the craft fair I was at today with my snowflakes and necklaces.

P&L Tribe

Good afternoon, tribe.

Busy day. 2 loads of laundry, errands and then mowed the lawn since it’s supposed to rain tomorrow. Now can relax with comics and play flag the spammer.

Hello Quaby and Saucy. Just a quick hello . I am moving raspberry canes now.

(tap, tap, tap)

Hello–o–ooo-ooo

Hmmm, am I alone?

TIME TO SING!!!!

off key Simon and Garfunkel songs

Greetings to all the

Just passing through. I haven’t been feelling well these last few days so I haven’t even had a chance to read my toons. I notice some people have been mentioning ice crream and I didn’t even feel like getting any.

Well I have to make some supper [unless Cleo will let me have some liver from yesterday. I suppose it makes me weird, but I love liver] Then I have to get ready for work. BLAAAH for that.

Hi everyone, I’m back.

Can I have some of that nuclear coffee please?

I got it ready Doc please pour away.

Back briefly to say hi. Busy day and still is so.

Okay here goes

♪ ♫ Wow it worked! That is incredible Doc.

Hi cleo take care.

(Takes sip from cup) I’m puzzled! I want to be a good functioning member here and I know about the no discussing of politics and religion rule, but is there any other rules that I don’t know about or may have forgotten.

Thank you Doc I just wanted to know.

Wow! a quiet day

Hello, cleo, LW18 & Doctor Toon.

Hi Grog.

Hi Doc! Hi Grog!

We used to have a “No Trolls” rule too, but that went out the window, sadly.

I’ve got my Heineken, a sample of my new batch of cauliflower & Are You Being Served on DVD. I’m all set.

Hi, Carmy. How’s by you?

Grog, my girls and I got our pizza and we have “Whip It” on DVD. No, it’s not Devo, it’s a movie with Drew Barrymore.

Grog, all is well here. I slept like all day. My oldest called me at 4:47am for a ride from her high school. She had gone on a Senior Trip to Orlando. She was going to have a ride home and that fell through.

I’m glad you elaborated, Carmy. I would have thought Devo straight off.

I thought you might, Grog. ;-) Actually I hope they play Devo at some time during the movie.

I liked Drew Barrymore as a child actor, but wasn’t crazy about her later on. Charlie’s Angels, in particular, comes to mind.

Mmmm, the cauliflower is good. More bite than my last batch.

Grog, me and my girls love Drew. What about “Never Been Kissed”? We liked “Charlie’s Angels”, both of them.

Two hours already….I just finished up supper and watch Dr Who

Alas and alak, though, I still have stuff to do. I was all day at the craft fair…..only one of us sold stuff and that was just two pairs of pliers. Our sunshiney warm day was actually drizzily with rain and chilly. I was tucked in the teaching classroom with another seller (candles) so I was out of the rain, but only had a few lookie-loos. It was the same outside. Sigh. $10 flew out the window…but better to try and fail than to never try,

So Krispy Kreams for all, and to all a good night.

P&L&good dreams.

Hi Carmy.

Hi Quaby

HI Carmy!

Hi Grog!

Hello and goodnight, Quaby! ((((((((((Quaby & Stormy))))))))))))) Thanks for the Krispy Kremes! Yum, yum, yum!

Bye Quaby!

((((STORMY))))

Krispy Kremes! Hey Carmy Don’t eat them all!!

I like Cameron Diaz, Lucy Liu & Bill Murray, Carmy. Admittedly, I did not see the second movie or Never Been Kissed.

When it comes to Charlie’s Angels, I’m more of a fan of the original series, particularly the first 3-4 years.

Hi Shika!

Quaby you are one of many that I know that watches Dr. Who. It’s on the BBC channel am I right!

Shika, I only had one (or two). There’s still plenty of donuts.

Hi, Shika Hi & bye Quaby ((((Stormy))))

Grog, what about Tim Curry? He was in the first Charlie’s Angels. The second one was okay, but it didn’t have Bill Murray. Never Been Kissed is a chick flick, but I think dudes might like it too.

He was good. The only one I didn’t particularly care for was Drew but then even in the classics there are actors I love to hate and will not have in my movie collection.

The only exception to that rule is Richard Burton in Where Eagles Dare & The Longest Day

Hi Doc You will be cooking next thing we know, lol!

Carmy Donuts? What donuts? (smack, smack)

Grog I like the original Charley’s Angels too.

Hi cleo I know you are lurking somewhere.

I can’t recall “The Longest Day.” I’ll have to imdb it.

And on that note, I’m off to (yawn) bed.

I’m like an old lady now. Except that I don’t sleep the whole night always. :-(

He’s probably off to dinner by now, Shika - or the movie.

GOOD NIGHT EVERYONE. SORRY I CAN’T STAY UP LONGERR……………..ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ

Tell him I said HI Grog I’m not a night owl tonight.

Sweet Dreams friends.

Carmy, The Longest Day was one of those movies with a star-studded cast. John Wayne, Henry Fonda & Robert Mitchum are the big 3. It also stars - among many others - Jeffrey Hunter, Sean Connery & Red Buttons,

Will do, Shika. Sleep well.

Shika, where’s the donuts? Goodnight!

Grog, did you like Burton in The Robe? Were you there?

I gotta eat dinner so I’ll be back on in a bit.

Carmy, I didn’t like Burton. Period.

My short list is: Burton Taylor Sinatra Caan

I don’t like it when Amazon.com continually recommends movies by these among other actors.

Captain Peacock is wearing the Grace Bros. version of the beanie hat. Hilarious!

Have a good evening, Doc!

See ya, Doc!

Grog, you don’t like Caan? Sonny Corleone?

I’d like to see more Ginger Rogers movies - sans Fred Astaire. She was pretty good in the serious role I saw her in recently. It was with Katherine Hepburn, but I forgot (unfortunately) the name of the movie.

Gene Kelly was also very good in the more serious role of Inherit the Wind. I just saw it tonight. Excellent movie with a great cast.

Carmy, I can’t even stand to watch Rollerball any more.

Dang it, I missed shika.

I really love the classic movies as well. My favorite pairs were Katherine Hepburn with Spencer Tracy or Cary Grant and Myrna Loy with William Powell.

Of course I also like Lauren Bacall with Humphrey Bogart.

Well you probably already know it now, cleo, but Shika says hi.

I have to agree with you on those star pairings, cleo. They are the best of them all.

Fellow Baby did you get those KRP tapes?

Hey Fellow Baby. No and I don’t expect to now either.

I loved the cauliflower batch I made though. A little less oily and kicked up a notch to borrow an Emerilism.

to quote Emeril.

Better, still, cleo!

Movie time.

Grainger doing Mammy in slow mo is a blast!

Enjoy your movie, cleo.

Grog, okay last movie with Caan, Elf, do you like that one? Enjoy your movie, Cleo! I’m watching “Whip It.” I like *The This Man” movies!

Pass on Elf, but love The Thin Man movies.

Wow! where has this day gone?

Grog, I love Asta!

Fellow Baby, didn’t you say you already paid for them?

James Caan was good in Alien Nation!

Hey Dry! I agree with you there, I forgot about Alien Nation.

Dry, yes I did. And I will be trying to get that money back, but I’m not holding my breath. Fortunately, it will not break me if I don’t.

An as much I was once a big Sci-Fi fan, I’m not so much now. Perhaps it’s too much emphasis on special effects and not enough on acting & story telling. But I think I liked “V” better than Alien Nation. I found it very disappointing.

In movies I loved, War of the Worlds & The Day the Earth Stood Still. The Twilight Zone & Original Star Trek were my favorite TV shows.

Carmy I loved Asta, too. He definitely stole some of the scenes.

Forbidden Planet with Walter Pidgeon Leslie Nielson & Anne Francis was also an excellent Sci-Fi.

Dry, did you make your cauliflower?

Hey, LW18 Missed your post. Being on the left coast, you’ve got a couple more hours to go than me.

Yes I do Grog.

Grog, I liked “V” also. The original one (I think they did a remake?).

I’ll be going horizontal soon. Just got 1 more episode of Are You Being Served to go.

Grog If it’s on your credit card, have the credit card company fight it for you.

Grog Yes I made the cauliflower with jalapenos, this afternoon so it needs to soak.

Stargate Atlantis is an excellent SciFi show!

Carmy, there was the original mini-series, I believe with a follow up. I think they did a television show after that, but the show didn’t last. I think it was too costly for TV as most SCI-FI of that nature is.

Let’s not forget “Invasion of the Body Snatchers”, the remake wasn’t bad either, and the remake of “The Thing” with Kurt Russell was WAY BETTER than the original!

Dry, I will be doing that, but as I said, the loss will not break me. It’s not going to cost me food on the table or anything of that nature.

A lot of people pay good money for contractors etc because they have to and get shafted in the end sometimes.

Grog, that’s what I was talking about, the original mini-series. (I forgot that it was a mini-series)

You all are making me itch for a movie.

Another SCI-FI movie I liked was Things to Come with Raymond Massey & Cedric Hardwicke.

I forgot about The Time Machine, with Rod Taylor & Yvette Mimeiux.

“Forbidden Planet” was good. I loved “The Thin Man” series and had most of the movies on dvd. I liked “War Of The Worlds” with Gene Berry. that was one of the first movies that really scared me. But no movie ever has scared me as much as “The Haunting Of Hill House.”

Sebastian Cabot (Mr. French) was also in that movie.

cleo I haven’t seen that one. Trying to do a search on it, but come up with The Haunting or The Haunting of Hill House book.

Sebastian Cabot always had a homey feel about him. Someone with a totally opposite feel, whom I liked a lot was Mr. Belvedere with Clifton Webb.

Found it. I was never up that much on horror movies, though I do have Frankenstein, The Bride of Frankenstein, The Invisible Man & The Mummy Of course I also have Young Frankenstein, but that’s no horror film!

All these shows that I have no knowledge of. They must have been pretty good shows to watch.

The Haunting is the movie you want to see Grog. They remade the movie a few years ago with all of the special effects and did not come near to achieving the fear and anxiety of the original. When I saw it in the theater, during one scene, my entire row dropped beneath the back of the seat in front of them. I think it is a very well done movie. This is a movie from I believe the 1960s.

cleo, yes!. Thanks for reminding me. I forgot all about him. I saw that a little while back - maybe a year or two ago. I like Clifton Webb and I’d like to add that one to my collection.

The Sci Fi movie that REALLY SCARED THE BEE GEEPERS out of me was “The Man with the XRay Eyes’ with Ray Milland. That movie scared the cra p out of me! I don’t know if I could even watch it now!

Dry that was a creepy movie.

The one that got me was “The Incredible Shrinking Man.”

The movies that creeped me out were the Dracula movies. That’s why I didn’t watch them. I never did like being “creeped out”, so I tried to avoid them. Then there was Dawn of the Dead, which just made me want to up-chuck!

I don’t remember that one! I’m sure I must have seen it, though/!

Good Evening Tribe

I’m back! I won! The team won!

Hello, Cleo, Grog & Ladywolf!

Where are you at Grog?

And where is LuvH8 at?

Terry, I used to be a very good pool player, but learned quickly that playing pool isn’t like riding a bicycle.

Dry when I went to see Dawn of the Dead, one of the women coming out of the theatre said as we were going in “I hope none of these people ate before this movie.” It was the 8PM showing and we just came from a restaraunt!

I love the Mr. Belvedere movies with Clifton Webb!

Thank you, Ladywolf!
