Oh, my Gosh, ever’body seems to be changing their screen names just to confuse me. Shall I change MY name to Toonreader or maybe Reader of the Lost Art? I think not.
Gimme some hot buttered muffins, whoever you are, and let me think about this revolting development as I peruse the full-color Sunday funnies
I hope that you all enjoy your meals. I just got back from driving my grandma to a few places that she needed to go. Feel free to have any food here that you want. Consider it as a buffet.
Little Sister, thank you I like your name change also. I was thinking of changing my name daily, but perhaps I should only do it once a week? Or maybe totally randomly?
LITTLE SISTER Your name may confuse my eyes but the wonderful smells coming from your kitchen give you away. I’ll have blueberries and cream, please. oh yeah, a cup of
REGULAR COFFEE!
Morning TRIBE I feel sick for enjoying today’s
comic. An everyday perv has a candy bar, but he King of Pop had an amusement park. We are not amused.
Well I have my day planned. I’ll be spending most of the day away from the computer at some amusement park with my family. It’s a Ladies Day Out thing. So I might not be on again until close to turnover when I get home. I’ll be leaving sometime this afternoon.
already had breakfast. have gone to tea instead of coffee.
the coffee seems to sour on my stomach. So, herbal peach tea, Twinnings Irish Breakfact and Bigelow English Taatime.
Good morning to who have been on and soon will or not been seen in a while: *♠Lonewolf♠, Little sister , MontanaLady, Frankr, , hopeandjoy2,Woodyeye, Johanan, Lewreader & RwB, Grog, Doctor Toon, Dry, Rmom, Wisefool, The Sojourner, Love&PieceJoy,PearlandPeach, MisngNOLA, aircraft-engineer ,yyyguy, Carmy
Well little sister that suits you but as you get older may need a newer name. And big sister I say first half your new name fits but not the 2nd half name. Though I say clever big sister.
We finished our church service, go back and eat, then my mom’s house. May have to mow.
Good morning Tribe. At least it’s morning for another 13 minutes.
I popped in very early this morning whilst things were quiet to take care of the leftover ribs. Hah! I may as well have continued to snooze. I haven’t seen cleaner bones since a trip to the museum. There were definite tongue marks on the plates and platters….and I’m not even gonna talk about the sparkling ‘shine’ on the carts. I wiped them down with kitchen wipes lest Hymosis faint upon entering and am preparing chicken fajita strips. Right now I plan on several types of sauces (Chinese, Korean, BBQ, etc) and lotsa fresh veggies for your own stir fry. I have the toppings and such, too:: roasted sesame seeds (white and black), chow mein noodles, dried cherries, various nuts and such. Just think Iron Chef and you get the idea.
Your fortunate Little Sister mine came extra class and books seperate. I start later then you but anxious. Still reading my book last few chapters can still take a while. Four sections to the book.
Quaby I will be eatting at our church, shephard pot luck and I didn’t prepare anything like your having. Sorry I didn’t stick around to help clean. I guess with Little SisterLonewolf and whoever does breakfast your doing dinner time.
No worries, Kab. My intent was to show there was not even a greasy spot left of the meal. And wiping down is definitely easier than cleaning up. And who knows, maybe there’ll be some left when you get back.
Mmmmm a church pot luck. You can really score some good eats at one of those. Especially with a high population of older ladies who still cook.
That’s why I like to go different age groups different meals.
You must have used throwaway plates and plastic eatting cleaver. Less mess.
I did go to bed early but had trouble sleeping. All those meals on BT doesn’t help.
That, by the way, is a colorized photo of Christopher Robin (Milne) and the original Winnie-the-Pooh. Pooh as drawn in the Pooh Books owes much more to Growler, the bear owned by the son or artist E.H. Shepard.
Alright, now that I’ve had 11hours to get used to it. I guess I can accept Little Sister and Wisefool’s name changes gracefully. who am, I to say.
Emet:
My condolences to you on your grandmother’s passing but I’m glad to hear she had such a long life. Your ddefence of Jonahan’s avatar was noble but your pun about bridges was deRIVERtive.
Stir Fry sauces are simmering away…mmmmmmm. This will be a fix it your way. Just add the chicken, any veggies desired in amounts desired, some sauce and warm it all up in the wok (thoughtfully provided). It’s easy-peasy.
I’ve paid the bills, made it one more cycle.
Got to go make jewelry. My church is having the annual yard sale on 10/2 and the table is only $10. I have stuff here I could sell as well as my snowflakes and jewelry. Already my Ty Babies collection is on best behavior, knowing I have to thin the ranks. some are automatic keepers, like Flip, who is rare, others are just too bleeep big. ooops, there go some more wails. I wish I could keep them all, but it’s just not feasible.
Ya, I’ve been putting it off at least 9 months. But I was going through a rough patch, too. I’m feeling better lately, and I hope the new meds keep up the trend.
As you can tell, I was doing puzzles. But I am now going over to the tv to watch a movie and do my jewelry. I’ll pop in here and there.
EMET - It must be just one of those days! Today is going slow for me here as it also seems to be slow at the BT. At least there’s good food at BT this afternoon due to Quaby!
EMET, if I didn’t know better, I’d say you were laughing to keep from crying about your grandmother. In any case, let me add my condolences to those of the rest of the Big Top crew.
All right… I shall keep my long-standing nom de guerre and return to my long-standing avatar (it is, after all, used universally as a Gravitar now), but throw at you various buttons and other photos as I can.
Chris Alan Starbright, my even more long-standing literary alter ego and the supplier of Starbright’s Divine CocoMocha to this fine establishment, will appear on occasion right along with the other graphics, as below:
All this fuss about names and avatars. I just pick a name and a picture and run with it. I might change the avatar pic every once in a while, but not often.
The Ty babies I have are 98% cats. All kinds of cats. Sigh, hate to give them up, but life goes on.
I watched Fahrenheit 451. It’d been a while since I saw it and it was in its widescreen glory. Had a T-Storm go through, too.
I’m off to finish off the STIR FRY. But hey, the chicken’s separate….I’ll toss in some burritos, salsa and cheese so the Mexican Food Fiends can have at it. Some of the fixings are in coming with the Stir Fry.
Speaking of new names, has SIR been taken? A very astute poster who’s name will remain nameless already calls me this occasionally.Like I said, she’s astute.
Good evening everyone DDFENCE EMET my grandparents never made to 100+, my dad’s mom made it to 92 and I have fond memories of her. She died when I was done with HS back in 1977. But I do remember her.
I feel for you. You have a lot of memories of your beloved grandma. I know you will cherish them.
How is everyone? I realize for DDFENCE EMET will be sad time for awhile.
Had our meal at church not quite pot luck. Different type of dishes, salads. and lot different chicken.
Visit with small family then mowed. My mom lives in an area where homes have big yards. I believe someone could build 3 houses there with still yard space. Here where I live someone where to sneeze some would hear it.
I’m going to be brave and go for a walk though it’s 92degrees.
I had to throw away a different walking shoes it melted. I hope the ones I thought wore out will last a little while longer. Have to get new ones next week. I’ll be back in a while.
EMET: The Hebrew word is translated “in his truth” or, probably more accurately, “in his faithfulness”.
Oh, I understand your humor and puzzle-solving skills perfectly well. It’s your substituting those for plain English that can put clouds in my coffee, clouds in my coffee, aaaand…
♫ You’re so vain, you prob’ly think this joke is about you
You’re so vain, I’ll bet you think this joke is about you
Don’t you
Don’t you ♫
(In other words, tempt me to unleash my ENFP-style screwballitude in response to your own at your peril… :) )
Ah Sojourner a person after my own paranoia, though I won’t even give the state I’m currently living in. I am a born and bred Texan, and will be heading back there once the timing and $$ are correct.
Oh, and by the way SUPPER/DINNER/LUNCH/BREAKFAST is served. Hurry hurry hurry before Taffy eats it all (she loves green beans…go figure).
It did take me an inordinate amount of time, however, to decide how I’d respond to this particular one. I’ve never been able to get my images on Photobucket to work here in open display (if anybody knows how, please let me know), so I had to upload the dozens and scores of button graphics I now have to a special folder on my personal Web site. This page can handle the addresses generated thereby.
So I decided in the end to keep my long-standing moniker and return to my long-standing avatar, the better not to confuse anybody (there is such a thing as brand naming and brand loyalty, doncha know). And now I have the added benefit of being able to “add color” with graphics after the fashion of some others here.
A Good early evening to the Big Toppers including, Lonewolf, KAB, Sojourner, Emet,Grog, Lewreader, Johanan, Quaby You are the ones writing more recently.
Grandmothers are special EMET Thanks for sharing some about her. I’m sorry for your loss.
Not sure what is going on with name changes. I will keep track of Little Sister because of her avatar is the same but LuvH8 is now Froggy Jumping or something Or has she morphed again????? I don’t want to lose track of her.
My name is too long and I’ve thought of changing or shortening it…maybe change “and” to “n” or become “grumpy”….which I am sometimes.
Beautiful starburst Johanan I saved it to my puzzle pictures.It looks like it will be oh so easy….but those are the hardest ones!!
Back when I made the comment there were several going back and forth about names and avatars. I was trying to say I can’t do that, I keep it simple bleeep otherwise known as KISS.
I gotta get back to the necklace. It’s hard for me to see the holes, my eyes have gotten bad. But 3 weeks of plasma donation and I had the co-pay and I high tailed it over to my eye doctor. Retina’s fine (I have that big floater from last summer), blind spot’s a tad bigger but nothing to panic about yet, distance vision is worse, reading vision is better but my astigmatism is much worse (two steps, levels or somesuch). My glasses give normal people headaches in 3 seconds or less.
Am I sleeping? Yesterday I was dead on my feet despite myself. Today I basically slept most of the day. But I’ve been in full operational mode since about 4:00 PM CDT.
N.B.: I won’t be here tomorrow morning due to an insanely early doctor’s appointment at Quentin Meese Hospital. My Daily Avatar will have to wait until I pop in later (I hope).
Sir Loin of Beef? Old joke, but if it’s good enough for Bugs Bunny…
Hello for a little while some of you I know will be getting ready for bed. LuvH8 I can’t keep up with your name change. I want you to know I feel for you on teenagers. When my kids boy and girl 3 years age difference got their DL we told them not to give rides. Our daughter did more then her brother. We told other parent’s be forewarn once teenager gets DL becomes non paying taxi cab. I got the strangest look. We told them other kids would use them for free rides and use your gas money. Not our never happen. We always wondered. Also late nights getting home from where ever they went to especially teenage daughter. Roof raised a lot.
LuvH8 So good to see your little grim reaper self again!
I was a bit unsettled for awhile.
A surprise party?? Could you use a trampoline for bouncing and tossing confetti from and shooting stringy stuff,? I need to do some quick re-reading to discover what is happening for sure!
I’m back for a little while my internet just slowed down. I was looking for conffetti and I think I found some. Now if you prefer the others work on your party. That’s fine. You could also honor Litte Sister going back to school.
I will catch up on comments tomorrow. Internet is very slow. And my eyes are red.
When is this being done. I need tomorrow to look. And I need to see about turning in. I’ve had two rough nights and my eyes are very tired. I can’t even read now.
The rest of you can keep planning and I will catch up am side.
That was his stage name he died 30 years ago. Had a daughter that was a rodeo queen. I think she rode around barrels. I can see if I can google him.
I know most are used to ones now days. Red Skelton did many type of clowns. Would never mean to hurt anyone just wanted laughter. Special guest on his show back then would crack up. Sometimes animals would upstage him.
Red Skelton was one of the great comedians and entertainers of the last mid-century. I remember seeing episodes from the last decade of The Red Skelton Show.
I guess then there wouldn’t be x-lax in that cheesecake left overs.
My eyes are really getting tired. It’s close to 11pm.
Try what Johanan Rakkav link. Yes the joker definitely is scary. Too bad the actor who portrayed him died. I didn’t see recent Batman movies.
Kab I think we should decorate tomorrow after Little Sister gets off work. Unless… actually. Does Tuesday afternoon work for you? I won’t be here during the day tomorrow.

About the name WiseFool:
Word Origin & History
sophomore
1688, “student in the second year of university study,” lit. “arguer,” altered from sophumer (1653, from sophume , archaic variant form of sophism), probably by influence of folk etymology derivation from Gk. sophos “wise” + moros “foolish, dull.” Short form soph is attested from 1778. Sophomoric “characteristic of a sophomore” (regarded as self-assured and opinionated but crude and immature) is attested from 1837. Online Etymology Dictionary, © 2010 Douglas Harper

Of course, EMET, it might help if you spoke English like the rest of us around here… :P
Being a Hebraist after my fashion, I’ve always liked EMET (Truth, Faithfulness). You could stick with that.
Flour Power has an odd appeal to me, though. So does Hockey Puck, a name which Don Rickles undoubtedly would attach to you in a stick slap.
BE’EMUNATO (the very last word in Psalms 96) might be worth considering…

How is everyone? I realize for DDFENCE EMET will be sad time for awhile. Had our meal at church not quite pot luck. Different type of dishes, salads. and lot different chicken. Visit with small family then mowed. My mom lives in an area where homes have big yards. I believe someone could build 3 houses there with still yard space. Here where I live someone where to sneeze some would hear it.

Hi Kab!
kab2rb over 14 years ago
I’m going to be brave and go for a walk though it’s 92degrees. I had to throw away a different walking shoes it melted. I hope the ones I thought wore out will last a little while longer. Have to get new ones next week. I’ll be back in a while.

EMET: The Hebrew word is translated “in his truth” or, probably more accurately, “in his faithfulness”.
Oh, I understand your humor and puzzle-solving skills perfectly well. It’s your substituting those for plain English that can put clouds in my coffee, clouds in my coffee, aaaand…

Ah Sojourner a person after my own paranoia, though I won’t even give the state I’m currently living in. I am a born and bred Texan, and will be heading back there once the timing and $$ are correct.
Oh, and by the way SUPPER/DINNER/LUNCH/BREAKFAST is served. Hurry hurry hurry before Taffy eats it all (she loves green beans…go figure).

Thanks Quaby! - Tastes great!

Hi Quaby!
Who’s fussing? Fads come and go. :)
It did take me an inordinate amount of time, however, to decide how I’d respond to this particular one. I’ve never been able to get my images on Photobucket to work here in open display (if anybody knows how, please let me know), so I had to upload the dozens and scores of button graphics I now have to a special folder on my personal Web site. This page can handle the addresses generated thereby.
So I decided in the end to keep my long-standing moniker and return to my long-standing avatar, the better not to confuse anybody (there is such a thing as brand naming and brand loyalty, doncha know). And now I have the added benefit of being able to “add color” with graphics after the fashion of some others here.

A Good early evening to the Big Toppers including, Lonewolf, KAB, Sojourner, Emet,Grog, Lewreader, Johanan, Quaby You are the ones writing more recently.
Grandmothers are special EMET Thanks for sharing some about her. I’m sorry for your loss.
Not sure what is going on with name changes. I will keep track of Little Sister because of her avatar is the same but LuvH8 is now Froggy Jumping or something Or has she morphed again????? I don’t want to lose track of her.
My name is too long and I’ve thought of changing or shortening it…maybe change “and” to “n” or become “grumpy”….which I am sometimes.
George Arnold over 14 years ago
Hi hopeandjoy2! - Don’t forget you can click on their name to see their profile. :-)
You can also say somthing good about snakes and how the person reacts to see if it’s her!
hopeandjoy2 over 14 years ago
….hummm, maybe I shouldn’t have used the greeting “big toppers”….so just plain Good Evening dear people
PearlandPeaches I Love various hot cuppa teas!!! You might find hot green tea refreshing…and SLEEPYTIME.
Quabaculta over 14 years ago
Beautiful starburst Johanan I saved it to my puzzle pictures.It looks like it will be oh so easy….but those are the hardest ones!!
Back when I made the comment there were several going back and forth about names and avatars. I was trying to say I can’t do that, I keep it simple bleeep otherwise known as KISS.
I gotta get back to the necklace. It’s hard for me to see the holes, my eyes have gotten bad. But 3 weeks of plasma donation and I had the co-pay and I high tailed it over to my eye doctor. Retina’s fine (I have that big floater from last summer), blind spot’s a tad bigger but nothing to panic about yet, distance vision is worse, reading vision is better but my astigmatism is much worse (two steps, levels or somesuch). My glasses give normal people headaches in 3 seconds or less.
hopeandjoy2 over 14 years ago
Wise Fool?? NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO….but it is your choice. I just checked to see if you were LuvH8
hopeandjoy2 over 14 years ago
SOJO Just read your post and I think I WILL say something good about snakes next time she is online.
George Arnold over 14 years ago
hopeandjoy2 - Just be sure I’m not near when you do!

The starburst comes from one of the Pibgorn comics… unfortunately I don’t know the date.

Hello again!
Am I sleeping? Yesterday I was dead on my feet despite myself. Today I basically slept most of the day. But I’ve been in full operational mode since about 4:00 PM CDT.
N.B.: I won’t be here tomorrow morning due to an insanely early doctor’s appointment at Quentin Meese Hospital. My Daily Avatar will have to wait until I pop in later (I hope).Sir Loin of Beef? Old joke, but if it’s good enough for Bugs Bunny…
Quabaculta over 14 years ago
Well, I have to bug off now. Tomorrow morning comes too quickly and I still have some things to do. Ya’ll take care now.

Hello for a little while some of you I know will be getting ready for bed. LuvH8 I can’t keep up with your name change. I want you to know I feel for you on teenagers. When my kids boy and girl 3 years age difference got their DL we told them not to give rides. Our daughter did more then her brother. We told other parent’s be forewarn once teenager gets DL becomes non paying taxi cab. I got the strangest look. We told them other kids would use them for free rides and use your gas money. Not our never happen. We always wondered. Also late nights getting home from where ever they went to especially teenage daughter. Roof raised a lot.

Hi Frankr. :-)
COWBOY7 over 14 years ago
Hi, Doc, Frankr & L-Sister
Good Night Doc & Sojo. Catch you guys in the morrow.
ladywolf17 over 14 years ago
Hi Big Brother.
Ooops! Premium Member over 14 years ago
Hi Frankr, how was your day?
ladywolf17 over 14 years ago
DDFENCE EMET, I am impressed that your grandma lived for so long.
ladywolf17 over 14 years ago
Ah yes! A surprise party, sounds good to me.
kab2rb over 14 years ago
What type of party? I hope nice this time.
ladywolf17 over 14 years ago
Let’s get the whipped cream and some of that string confetti that shoots out of a tube.
kab2rb over 14 years ago
What should the banner say? Does you both want Doc’s coffee, or gentler so no one bounces off the walls?
Ooops! Premium Member over 14 years ago
Sojo likes chocolate. Who can make chocolate cupcakes, with a couple of special ones for him?
kab2rb over 14 years ago
At least that doesn’t take too long by box mix or home made, warning my baking skills have slaken?
ladywolf17 over 14 years ago
Chocolate cream pies. Perfect for eating and other things.
kab2rb over 14 years ago
Little Sister I’ve seen those shooting confetti cannons you talked about and there nosy.
kab2rb over 14 years ago
Is this planning to be a wild party like food fight?
Ooops! Premium Member over 14 years ago
Oh… this calls for Nuclear coffee!
COWBOY7 over 14 years ago
I think she is talking about that stringy stuff in a can, Kab.
ladywolf17 over 14 years ago
But they do look like fun.
kab2rb over 14 years ago
So you do want them bouncing off the walls.
COWBOY7 over 14 years ago
Got to have Doc’s Nuclear Coffee!
ladywolf17 over 14 years ago
Couldn’t hurt.
kab2rb over 14 years ago
I’ve seen those use in the can on a show. Every day it was used and people jumped especially the hosts. They used it for every big surprise.
ladywolf17 over 14 years ago
What food fight? We’re all perfectly mature people here.
Ooops! Premium Member over 14 years ago
Well yes. Okay Kab…. you have the Ex-Lax for Sojo’s cupcakes?
And we can hang water balloons!
kab2rb over 14 years ago
Yea right who are you kidding? Lonewolf you getting in this too?
ladywolf17 over 14 years ago
Confetti canon! Where can we get one of those?
kab2rb over 14 years ago
Your all gonna need high powered hot fudge chocolate, nuts and whipcream. You all gonna need noise makers.
Ooops! Premium Member over 14 years ago
Little Sister, we will need many chocolate pies. Perhaps a few cheesecakes for those who don’t like chocolate.
kab2rb over 14 years ago
Hey this is BT just put a fast order in. There will be confetti all over the place.
ladywolf17 over 14 years ago
Yes Big Brother, we will indeed need Doc’s Nuclear Coffee.
kab2rb over 14 years ago
I have some of those cheescakes. Try some of these.
ladywolf17 over 14 years ago
So then you can deliver the confetti Canon, Kab Buch.
Ooops! Premium Member over 14 years ago
BTW- If anyone tells Sojo about his surprise party, they will be next. (Grog)
kab2rb over 14 years ago
I’ll try?
ladywolf17 over 14 years ago
Make it chocolate Ex-Lax I’ve seen those before.
ladywolf17 over 14 years ago
How about the classic bucket of slime?
kab2rb over 14 years ago
Ya never no what might be hidden in them? Wonna try see what happens?
Ooops! Premium Member over 14 years ago
Oh Yummy! We can have some as we are plotting… um, err… planning.
Ooops! Premium Member over 14 years ago
The cheescake, we will have some cheescake.
ladywolf17 over 14 years ago
Double posts Big Sister, or do you have the hiccups?
hopeandjoy2 over 14 years ago
LuvH8 So good to see your little grim reaper self again! I was a bit unsettled for awhile.
A surprise party?? Could you use a trampoline for bouncing and tossing confetti from and shooting stringy stuff,? I need to do some quick re-reading to discover what is happening for sure!
ladywolf17 over 14 years ago
The cheesecake will keep Grog Preoccupied hopefully.
ladywolf17 over 14 years ago
Sounds good hopeandjoy2
Ooops! Premium Member over 14 years ago
And if he is bad. He can wear it.
No! I am not trying the exlax cupcakes! Maybe you should use the blue cupcake liners for those.
hopeandjoy2 over 14 years ago
TAFFY, LOTS OF GOOEY STUFF. Coconut Creme pies are good too.
ladywolf17 over 14 years ago
Sticky gooey candy for sure.
Ooops! Premium Member over 14 years ago
Taffy! Oh! I never would have thought of that!
Hi! HopeandJoy The other avatar scared me.
ladywolf17 over 14 years ago
It didn’t scare me.
ladywolf17 over 14 years ago
But then again, My avatar is holding two guns.
Ooops! Premium Member over 14 years ago
Really? I thought it was scary. But then he was wearing the same type of make up clowns do. Terrifying things, clowns.
ladywolf17 over 14 years ago
Well he did look evil.
hopeandjoy2 over 14 years ago
LuvH8 your other avatar scared me too.
hopeandjoy2 over 14 years ago
Ooops, My other half is searching for me! See you tomorrow…don’t forget some steamers.
Ooops! Premium Member over 14 years ago
Yeah, I didn’t want to give myself nightmares.
ladywolf17 over 14 years ago
Maybe a fog machine.
ladywolf17 over 14 years ago
Or a snow making machine.
Ooops! Premium Member over 14 years ago
Good Night HopeandJoy
Kab, are you still here?
ladywolf17 over 14 years ago
Water balloons!
Ooops! Premium Member over 14 years ago
No fog! We want to be able to see this!
ladywolf17 over 14 years ago
See you later hopeandjoy2.
ladywolf17 over 14 years ago
Okay no fog!
WAAAAAAAAA!
Ooops! Premium Member over 14 years ago
Well of course, we are going to hide them in plain site as decorations.
kab2rb over 14 years ago
I’m back for a little while my internet just slowed down. I was looking for conffetti and I think I found some. Now if you prefer the others work on your party. That’s fine. You could also honor Litte Sister going back to school. I will catch up on comments tomorrow. Internet is very slow. And my eyes are red.
ladywolf17 over 14 years ago
Red eyes very irritating isn’t it?
Should we spice up the food?
ladywolf17 over 14 years ago
Make the food spicy hot.
kab2rb over 14 years ago
I’m having computer problems. There is red hot sauce. I think I found the confetti can. Someone else will have to find something more exciting.
kab2rb over 14 years ago
Question what is Sojo celebrating? We could also celebrate Little Sister going to college:)
kab2rb over 14 years ago
Not all clowns are scary.
Frankr over 14 years ago
LUVH8!!!! You’re back!! along with your old avatar!
Not that it matters of course.
That “spray confetti” is called silly string.
Ooops! Premium Member over 14 years ago
I suppose we…. What is Sojo celebrating?
It would be more of a surprise if we were celebrating* Little Sister* going to college and targeting… oh surprising Sojo at the same time.
COWBOY7 over 14 years ago
Bozo The Clown wasn’t scary to me.
ladywolf17 over 14 years ago
Sojo doesn’t know and we want to keep it like that.
Ooops! Premium Member over 14 years ago
Rakkav over 14 years ago
Kab Buch, I think you left some of this in my refrigerator…it might help the party.
ladywolf17 over 14 years ago
All clowns are evil and scary…….Hollywood wouldn’t lie to us.
kab2rb over 14 years ago
I know that. Lonewolf you remember Red Skelton? He was a clown and not scary.
LuvH8 though Little Sister knows this could use as a cover up. Oh by the way those cheesecakes I keep BR closeby hehe.
Ooops! Premium Member over 14 years ago
Yes! Thank you Johanan
A Happy College Party! Little Sister should have a party. And we don’t have to try to hide what we are doing.
kab2rb over 14 years ago
Not all clowns. What’s the matter Johanan Rakkav you a little nervous, hmmm.
Late Red Skelton was the type of clown people enjoyed watching. He was a very funny man.
kab2rb over 14 years ago
Batman movies type clowns those where scarry.
ladywolf17 over 14 years ago
Problem!
Who is Red Skelton?
ladywolf17 over 14 years ago
I’ve never heard of him before.
kab2rb over 14 years ago
When is this being done. I need tomorrow to look. And I need to see about turning in. I’ve had two rough nights and my eyes are very tired. I can’t even read now. The rest of you can keep planning and I will catch up am side.
kab2rb over 14 years ago
That was his stage name he died 30 years ago. Had a daughter that was a rodeo queen. I think she rode around barrels. I can see if I can google him. I know most are used to ones now days. Red Skelton did many type of clowns. Would never mean to hurt anyone just wanted laughter. Special guest on his show back then would crack up. Sometimes animals would upstage him.
Rakkav over 14 years ago
Red Skelton was one of the great comedians and entertainers of the last mid-century. I remember seeing episodes from the last decade of The Red Skelton Show.
Rakkav over 14 years ago
Kab Buch, why would I be nervous? I don’t mind leftovers, and the only clown I find scary is The Joker.
kab2rb over 14 years ago
Thank you Red Skelton was better then ones trying to be funny he had a clean since of humor.
kab2rb over 14 years ago
I guess then there wouldn’t be x-lax in that cheesecake left overs. My eyes are really getting tired. It’s close to 11pm. Try what Johanan Rakkav link. Yes the joker definitely is scary. Too bad the actor who portrayed him died. I didn’t see recent Batman movies.
kab2rb over 14 years ago
What day are you planing for the party? I need to get to bed.
ladywolf17 over 14 years ago
We do not have it all worked out yet, but we will let you know when we do.
Ooops! Premium Member over 14 years ago
Kab I think we should decorate tomorrow after Little Sister gets off work. Unless… actually. Does Tuesday afternoon work for you? I won’t be here during the day tomorrow.
