Good morning Big Brother :-)

Good Morning, LIl’ Sis!

Great breakfast menu!

Can I please have a steak medium rare, the fried potatoes and a super large Doc’s World Famous Nuclear Coffee?

Here you go Big Brother, Your breakfast is ready.

(scrub, polish)

Hello again hymenoxis. Can I get you anything?

Good Morning, LuvH8 & Hymenoxis

Good morning, all.

Little Sis what a great menu! It’s a little late, so I’ll just have a glass of Merlot, and a corn dog!!!!

Hymenoxis, since you’re still polishing and dusting, does that mean you’re on a roll, and you’ll be over to help here???

Thank you, Lil’ Sis! Fantastic!

You got it MontanaLady Here you go. :-)

Montana…like I always say, I only do “virtual” janitorial work; for chat rooms, message boards, blogs, etc. It keeps the overhead down.

I’ve brought bagels, cream cheese and lox, for those that prefer it, and Bloody Mary mixings as well.

Good Morning Lonewolf, Hymenoxis, Montana Lady and LittleSister!!

Great menu LilSis. We’ve missed you.

I need a double order of ribs (with extra napkins), those fried potatoes, one cabbage pop tart and an important beer.

And if you can find it a double shot of Kentucky small-batch bourbon

Hello LuvH8

Hello, Lonewolf, Little Sister, Hy and MontanaLady

Little Sister, thank you for taking care of Kitty. He stayed last night to try to make friends with Sir Lew. I don’t think it went very well.

Good Morning, Frankr

A Bloody Mary sounds good right about now, Hymenoxis

Okay Frankr (LOL) here you go.

Big Sister You know I like kitty, he’s a sweetie.

Hello Frankr

Little Sister may I have a piece of the Double Dutch Chocolate Cake please?

I think that Sir Lew likes kitty also, just in his own way.

Here you go Big Sister I hope you enjoy it.

Hymenoxis…..that was sweet of you to bring bagels and cream cheese. They don’t know a good bagel up here in Montana! I will enjoy your offering…..

Thanx, LittleSister.

Don’t forget the lox, dear…care for a Mimosa? I snuck a bit of bubbly past the guards…

Guards??? Around here? Go figure!

I need to call it a night here and hit the horizontal position. James has a football game in the morning and I have pool league playoffs in the afternoon.

Good Night Everyone!

P&L

Well, it is Gocomics. I could bring in a case of cheap vodka, because there are no vodka advertisers, but try to get a decent wine that’s not approved…woo hoo…you’d think it was U.S. Customs.

I mean, I tried getting a couple of bottles of a good Burgundy in here one night, and this big guy named Vlad confiscated them. Waved a badge and everything.

Ummm…. are you sure it wasn’t a toy badge Hy?

Thank you, Little Sister

Well, no, but I’m intimidated by badges. And badgers. Wait…

Perhaps it was a badger named Vlad. It was a while back, and I may have been drinking.

No, in retrospect, it was a large neckless gentleman named Vlad who may or may not have smelled like a badger, who waved a possibly fake badge, and took my Burgundy.

How very annoying! The least they could do is steal the cheap stuff.

Good Night Hy. Little Sister, Lonewolf, Frank & MontanaLady

See you all later.

I know! I think I may have been hijacked, but it didn’t seem worth fighting about. I can get more good Burgundy…in fact I have a nice little small chateau bottle here…

Hm…I’ve uncorked it, and it smells like badgers.

I’ll just have a BloodyMary. Wine’s too bloody complicated.

Even when I arise hours before my customary waking hour, LITTLE SISTER has slaved in the kitchen to ensure my breakfast repast. I’ll have the ribs please, could I have a finger bowl as well as napkins? Hell, bring a garden hose and a scrub brush. A LARGE cup of the DOC’S* elixir with a touch of cream, try to avoid a meltdown this time.

LUVH8 You don’t look a day over whatever youthful age you turned yesterday. But I will stand on my record, I am not, nor have I ever been a member of the Anti-Feline Party. I admit to some youthful college Tomfoolery, like when I mailed a female poster’s cat to the violin factory with “String Department” stamped on the front. but hey, let boys be boys. Any rumor that I have a cat carrier reserved for KITTY and addressed to the nearest Chinese take out is just rumor. That crate is destined for Hong Kong. That carrier is much too big for my two furry balls of love and claws (teeth). Besides, I have to talk to my little snuggly wuggilies (Sickening, aren’t I?) all the way to the mean old vet lady (I think her name is Liz). I’m going to ship KITTY sub-economy class in the hull with zero degree temperature and no air.

Morning TRIBE! Love is in air, but the Weather Service rates the air quality index as dangerous. And after eating LITTLE SISTER’S ribs, Tis an ill wind in my parts.

Good Morning, Little Sister, ♠Lonewolf♠, Hymenoxis, MontanaLady, LuvH8, Frankr & Lewreader!

Good Morning(Early also, but not as Early as Doc) Tribe!

Good Morning, Doc!

Here at the same time. Well, you were definitely up much earlier than I.

Doc, I am getting ready to head out for James’ football game. It’s against the rival team. He goes to South High and they are playing North High.

Thanks Doc. I’ll tell him.

Have a great day everyone!

P&L

Good Monring, Doctor Toon & ♠Lonewolf♠

Have fun, ♠Lonewolf♠

I am later this morning. I decided to get my grocery shopping out of the way early today. A habit I should keep at all times, but certainly during football season. I want to get the chores done before the games start up.

My Kroger finally looks like they finally have everything where they want it after the expansion. I’m still having trouble finding things but things are getting better. It seemed like some things were being moved around on a weekly basis.

Good morning, Lonewolf, Grog and DocToon.

Good luck to James in his game. And, we’re gonna head over to the farmer’s market to get loaded on their late summer goodies. Was 37 overnight, hope it will warm up in order to walk through the “market”.

Can I have some of that Chocolate Cake and Doc’s coffee??

Good Morning, MontanaLady

Right…breakfast.

I’ll have bacon and eggs over easy with wheat toast and a Pepsi please.

♠Lonewolf♠, I replied to your comment @ DED

And hi back to GmaT, Doc.

Sleep well, Doc.

≡≡ P O P ! ≡≡ ♪☼ Good Morning TRIBE! ☼♪

Hello to all those here!

I’ll get some of the Fish N’ Chips meal and tea.

Good Morning, Sojourner

I’ve got to get some chores done, but I’ll pop in from time to time.

Good Morning Grog.

Good morning Tribe

I’ve been up a while, nibbling here and stuffing there on the lovely breakfast spread.

But, as you know, it’s Saturday. Wheeling into the big top eventually will be roast beef (fork tender), mashed potatoes, Lesure’s Young Peas (finest kind of pea) and gallons of brown gravy.

Going to be a putter about day. I have to go through my beanie baby kitties and weed them out. I would like to keep them all, but I don’t have the room. The church is having a yard sale, and I’ve got a table there. I also have more typical yard sale stuff and my jewelry and snowflakes.

Good Morning Quaby - Thanks for offering the meal later! Hope you have a wonderful day and are able to sort through things without emotional difficulty, that can be a hard thing to do.

Good morning everyone. :-)

Good Morning Little Sister - I hope you have a great day today!

I hope you have a good day as well Sojo :-)

Good Morning Everyone.

James’ team got clobbered! :^(

(It’s all about having fun…..it’s all about having fun……it’s all about having fun…..It’s all about winn……. errrrrr………. having fun!)

Thank you Little Sister.

Hi ♠Lonewolf♠ -Too bad, hope the rest of your and James day is better!

Hi, Sojo!

Not to worry, sir. James has fun playing whether they win or lose. Bottom line is he tries hard at his position and it shows in his performance.

♠Lonewolf♠ - That’s good to hear!

Hi Big Brother. :-)

Good Morning Lil’ Sis!

Good afternoon Lonewolf, Hymenoxis, Montana Lady, LuvH8, Lewreader, Grog, Doctor, Quaby. Sojourner and Little Sister.

Hi Frankr - Hope you enjoy your day today!

Good afternoon, Frankr!

Hi Frankr That’s another nice avatar. Did you draw that one as well?

No LilSis, I didn’t draw it.

It is Calvin’s private eye alter-ego “Tracer Bullet”. Not unlike “Spaceman Spiff” and “Stupendous Man”.

Cool :-)

Hi, Just got back from the farmers market and errands. I sure do love FRESH produce!!!! What we didn’t grow ourselves, they have it there for us! Too bad our growing season is so short up here. When we lived in SoCal, we would start the garden in April, and final harves was sometime around Halloween! Oh well, that’s the price we pay to live in Paradise!!!

Sorry about James’ game…….there will be others, right? It’s so hard for the kids to “not” win, isn’t it….

You win some and you lose some, but if you play for fun then you’re always a winner.

Good Afternoon MontanaLady.

I agree Little Sister. People at the Dragon always wonder why on earth I play Scrabble there, I’m a Johnny come lately and always lose. That’s not why I play, I play for the challenge of making up winning words from my tiles. I’m already improving, I use the dictionary to check words, not find words, and my score’s generally improved. I get slaughtered in a one on one, but when we have 3-4 in the game I’m an up and coming force to be reckoned with.

Sir Lew Don’t you like Kitty? If not then you will hate Kitty’s friend Katrina.

You may all call her Kat - short for Katrina.

Way to go Quaby Two thumbs up. :-)

I must go dustify in the corner!

Good to see you drop by bmonk.

Hi Bmonk

LUVH8 & LITTLE SISTER I’m sure both you lovely ladies know how I love ALL kitty cats and am expecting to be dying if I meet your two

May the Lord love and keep Kitty and Katrina away from me.

Who would name a cat after a storm that caused so much destruction? Oh.

Yes, what were you thinking, Lewreader

Hi All of you toon readers and friends I grabbed one of the leftover pizzas and it was GOOOOD!! (in Andy Griffith’s voice from Mayberry) Thank you much Little Sister

The air here at present is being very rambunctious after getting carried away with the muggies…much grumbling and growling…sooooo not sure what is going to happen over the next 2 hours and may have to get out of the computer room…I thought thunderstorm was skimming by us to the north but seems to like our area better and is quite riled up at the moment.

Like your new avatars, Frankr and Doc Toon

Hi Hopeandjoy2 - Hope you don’t have any lightning problems.

Phooey! Back later on…Thanks, SOJO

LittleSis…..LOVE Kat…..

Now we have Kitty and Kat……my husband just reminded me that the early Pittsburgh call letters made it “KittyKat” radio!

Have a great Saturday evening, Everyone

Hello again everybody. :-)

Hi MontanaLady and Little Sister.

Hello Sojourner & Little Sister.

Hi Grog.

Hello Grog and Doc. :-)

Nice to see you Doctor Toon.

Hi & bye, Doc

We have good sleeping weather, too, cloud & drizzle-wise. But I wanted good get out of bed and do something weather. I hate wasting away the day in a cloudy funk.

Are you watching a football game, Little Sister?

No.

I’m eating a chili dinner.

I just finished a sausage & saurkraut dinner.

I’m flipping back & forth between the Auburn and Notre Dame games.

Good evening, Grog, Little Sister, Sojourner, Frankr and (where is LuvH8) and others nearby

Our storm is past and we are back in business.

I just had a cold, roasted chicken sandwich with pickles, mayo and mustard….with some Doritos (for heavens sake) Grog

Texas and Tex Tech are battling it out. Clemson and Auburn looks interesting. Air Force must be pretty good…can’t say that about Duke Football….I saw the score awhile ago.

You guys take care and since it has been a full day, I will sign off for the evening.

I don’t really watch College Football games that often.

Bye Hopeandjoy2 - Have a good evening.

Have a good evening, hopeandjoy.

College football is not something I’ll watch a lot of, but I’ll watch Notre Dame until they’ve played themselves out of a bowl nomination and I do like certain SEC match-ups.

Good evening Tribeandall!

Team won and it’s on to the City Challenge of Champions!

Oh, yeah, I won my match.

♠Lonewolf♠

Hi, Sojo!

Thank you!

Congrats, ♠Lonewolf♠

Good evening, Grog.

Thank you, sir!

My team is the best when it comes to believing in the line-up I set out. We have 8 players on each team and we only play 5 matches. They’re just great teammates.

Hi there, Lil’ Sister!

Thank you!

Wanted to watch the Japan Indy 300 live but think they will re-run it tomorrow so will try to see it then.

Past time for my zzzzzz’s. Have a good turnover!

♪☼ P&L ☼♪ ≡≡ POOF! ≡≡

Yay James! Glad you had fun! (hope you got dirty and maybe muddy)

Congratulations Lonewolf! You are being careful with that stick?

Hi Little Sister, it is nice to see Katrina around the tent again. Not sure what Sir Lew is fussing about. Kitty & Kat don’t like eating humans or pets. They taste icky.

Grog, isn’t it past your bedtime?

Good Night, Sojo!

Good Night Sojo

Do you think he wants us to post the results in case he doesn’t see them before he gets to watch?

Hi, LuvH8

James had a blast today as usual when he plays football.

Thanks for the congratulations!

I AM careful where I put that stick thingy!

That’s good to know Big Brother, because it would hurt to be jabbed in the stomach.

Of course if someone is in your way when it is your turn at the pool table, they do need to get out of the way.

Can you imagine if someone started calling him Knocks Over Beer?

I think it’s a cue stick, but I’m not sure.

If someone called him that, then Lonewolf would do kung-fu on him.

So they use it to point at people when it is their turn?

I don’t know!……Big Brother care to help us out here.

Yeah, that’s what it is for!

That’s cool! ;-)

My new knife and meat cleaver are getting ready to

You have rain………..LUCKY!

I was talking to Gma, I am thinking of starting a meat cleaver collection. Then I can hang them on the wall. Not a big one though maybe eleven?

Yup! It is raining now.

Make it a hobby of collecting meat cleavers…..Sounds interesting an unique.

Hey I have four meat cleavers and four rubber duckies! I could collect them both!

Why not!

Good morning, All…..

Luv, I have 3 meat cleavers and 1 rubber duckie……does that make it a collection?

Sojo……we recorded (am recording) the Motegi 300 Indy Car Race…should be a really good one. That way, we can fast forward all the commercials and those “repeats” that they always show over and over.

Sure sorry the season is almost over. LOVE Indy Car..
