Prickly City by Scott Stantis for April 09, 2009

You are Winslow, you are. Oh, and thanks for reminding me that I am as well.

“You are a fluke of the universe…”

We are all a part of something big!

Morning Joy, JFri, carmy, doc, radicalknight, and anybody else I forgot! REAL hot chocolate and cruellers for your enjoyment! And of course, a fresh pot of coffee!

I see Joy has hit SOTU already! :-)

What is Razzleberry pie? Can’t guarantee they’ll be any left if you’re gone too long!

Good Morning All, I’ve already had 2 cups of coffee, so I’m good. It’s cleaning day for me. I saw Joy’s post on SOTU too. I agree, WE are all part of something big.

Good Morning! Can’t stay long today. I will be very busy. I will try to pop in later, but as for right now, everyone have a wonderful day.

so we see Joy at SOTU, but not here! Think she’s mad at us ? :-(

doctoon, hee hee, I hope Stantis doesn’t mind the party. Do you have Blue Bell and/or Blue Bunny ice cream at your store? Chemo has messed up my taste buds so chocolate tastes like dirt to me, but Vanilla is still good, especially Old Fashioned or Vanilla Bean.

Dry, I saw your post about the Cowboys. I liked Tom Landry too. My elementary school principal, (Robert “Bob” L. Martin) was a football coach before he was a principal. He coached high school football at my mom’s high school. He also coached in a close by Texas town and Tom Landry was one of his players. Mr. Martin was a wonderful man, he was very proud of Tom and all of his accomplishments with the Cowboys. When Mr. Martin passed away, Tom served as a pallbearer at the funeral.

Maybe we need to get a search party going for Joy, JFri, Radical and Nozzi (and anyone else I may have omitted).

carmy that’s an interesting tale! I was one of the DIE HARD Cowboy fans until Jerry Jones fired Tom Landry, and especially the low life way he did it!! Ever since, I now cheer them on to defeat!

Think they moved the party some place else without telling us?

Morning, All! Drystyha, Dr.T, Carmy. Had a few stops to make before getting here. Brought plenty extra egg, potato and sausage burrito wraps for breakfast. there’s mild and firebrand salsa in the bag. Help yourselves. My flag-patterned lawn chairs available for those who already need to sit. . Ah!, Fresh air.

Morning, Scott Thanks for the breath of fresh air and great scenery.

Well THERE SHE IS!! Hi Joy - - -now that its noon!!! :-D

Rad the burritos sound DELICIOUS and my tummy is saying “feed me”! Lots of hot hot sauce and lots and lots of jalapenos, too, please!

Everybody is a PRO all sites back to the beginning. . Hi, Joy … Drystyha, I think the jalapenos are in a little white bag in the bottom of the box.

carmy in case you missed my reply on FBorFW to you, That was great stuff! Funny!

doc Everybody isn’t here. *JFri is missing! I still can’t wrap my head around you talking about a bedtime snack and it’s 12:30 pm here. Still can’t imagine working a night shift! :-0 The horror of it all!

Joy we’re PROS because we’re the best of the best! :-D

Be back later. My son & I are going to lunch!

I got busy cleaning and now I got to run some errands. Won’t be back until after 3pm (eastern time). Hope everyone is having a great day.

Boy do I feel left out. You kids all leave now that I am back. Must be because I am not a Pro.

EDIT: Apparently I am a pro now, not sure how… At any rate, good night doc.

doctorToon to x-ray! doctorToon to x-ray????

Think a nap in a lawn chair would be nice.

Joy Well, if docT had been in x-ray he would have seen me! Cuz that’s where I’ve been…stupid work!!! A four letter word, that!

To be perfectly fair, all us “real” PROs should be non-PRO now. Just sayin’.

farren don’t understand what you mean.

Joy thanks for taking the last jalapeno! :-(

Joy’s right! Where are our profiles! I know who I am, do you know who you are? :-D

Come on website guru, bring back our descriptions!

I thought PRO meant you paid a yearly subscription so you could access archives, etc.

Hey everyone, I just got back home a little while ago. Joy, I am doing okay, thanks. I had to go get a shot to boost up the while blood cells. I see Drtoon went sleepers. So we’re all PROS, huh? Made me think of “I”m a pro, you’re a pro, wouldn’t you like to be a pro too?”

All right, we’ve received a complaint about all the noise over here from the Quigmans. I’ll have to ask you folks to keep it down, or I’ll have to call SOTU and have them send the heavyweights over here.

;-)

I brought my own lawn chair, and some iced tea. It’s in the 60s here, and sunny. I’ve also brought pulled pork and some home made bread to make sandwiches. Please be sure to save some for Doc when he wakes up. He told me that there was a party going on over here, and that I should check it out.

Carmy, I’m sorry to read that you have cancer. One of my friends is in remission from lung cancer right now. She’s still horribly tired from the chemo.

What a great comic, thanks for sharing!

Rad I just got the same message “capacity overload”! Are we crashing the site? :-D

~ I’ll just invent another one for this site. Do we really need a ‘confusion couch’ though? Doesn’t seem to be much confusion around here. This one will be permanently scotch guarded, and will automatically repel dust mites and cat hair.

Marg no we don’t need a confusion couch! We all know what we’re doing over here! We just need a couch! :-D

Drystyha says:

Marg no we don’t need a confusion couch! We all know what we’re doing over here! We just need a couch! :-D

~OK, you’ve got it! Guaranteed to be permanently expandable to hold all the people needing a seat. :-)

RL calls, ‘bye!

marg hope it wasn’t an emergency!

You know, since summers coming,I’ve been thinking, maybe what we need are gliders and porch swings under a gazebo?!

A very big gazeebo!

Whatever furniture we get here may need some protection. (It’s a DRY heat). Haven’t seen much in the way of squirrels, but I have seen evidence of at least one coyote, a few lizards a tarrantula and a scorpion or two. . [EDIT] - Don’t mind the snakes, they’re from SOTU and relatively harmless and they do have their uses. . JOY - About SOTU, I’m just going to say careful They got teeth and though not deathly, can be venomous.

I just noticed my earlier post mentioned a ”Red Hat” server. I thought that was strictly a lady’s club. . [EDIT] - Doggone-it! Several times I meant to say Hi Marguritem, but I’ve been busy jumping between this site and my site that I’m trying to fix (and it’s not cooperating) that I keep missing my chance.

We’re up to 60 with this one!

I zonked out, I just wanted to relax for a few and well, I guess I was too tired. Marg, thank you, sorry I missed you. I’m happy that your friend is in remission and I pray all will be well with her. I had a very short remission, almost 4 months. I did enjoy every minute of it though. So is the party still going on or what?

carmy don’t know if the party is still on or not. Heard from Tabby over at Winnie the Pooh(today). Wonder why she has a nanny?

If you don’t get here again tonight, Sweet Dreams my dear! I hope you can sleep well! I will keep you in prayers!

What do you think of the gazebo idea? :-)

Dry, the gazebo is a great idea. I’m going to go check WTP to see tabby’s post. I’ll check back later, I got to go make a fast food run, the natives are hungry and I’m not in a cooking mood.

Carmy The party keeps on going & going! Ya gotta love this whole concept! What’s this cooking thing you mentioned? If I can’t burn it on the grill I’m LOST!

JFri why do you gotta burn it? Don’t ya watch your stuff? I’ll have to show you how to do it right! :-D

MrNavyBean You’ll have to go back a day or two to here and Winnie and Ziggy. We decided to form a friendly group here. We all have been posting back and forth and become “friends” so to speak! You are welcome to join us if you behave yourself! No insults, no politics!

Dry You can teach an old dog how to bbq? Did I ever tell you I go to Grove City, PA every 2 years? MrNavyBean It’s our virtual party! Welcome & enjoy!

JFri Grove City is near Philly? Being a native PA person, I’ve heard of it but don’t quite know where it is. Why every two years?

Dry It’s 60 miles north of Pittsburg. Go for a sales meeting!

Entertaining millions of readers is not big enough for you?

Over 70 comments WOW! This is party central. JFri, I do cook and I’m teaching my daughters how to cook also. It’s too expensive for our family of 6 to eat out. Aargh mateys, send prayers and/or good wishes to the pirate area. I found out that my husband is in the area with his navy ship.

Carmy I bbq all year round but I’m no whiz at indoor cooking! Go figure!

I guess this makes me a six-bit poster…

So this is where all the cool guys hang out! I saw the rules Drystyha and I’ll try to behave. I don’t need a seat on the couch, just toss me a cushion! You have any of those burritos left Radical? I’m a one hungry hombre.

Howdy, Dypak! I think that’s the box they came in, I believe Joy got the last of the jalapenos and Drystyha the salsa. The flag patterned lawn chairs are mine, pull one up and have a sit.

Carmy Thank your husband for his service (& I think I speak for us all)! Without the service of him so many others those SOTU types wouldn’t have the right to all their blathering. I MUST stop here or I will be in violation of the rules and I don’t want to do that!

Dypak There’s still some brownies left and the bar is still open!

JFri, I love BBQ, but I am limited to grilling only burgers. My family in Texas makes some really good BBQ. I will relay the Thank You to the hubby and his shipmates. I going down for the count now. Goodnight to all.

G’nite, Carmy! Sleep well. tomorrows gonna be another great day.

Sorry everyone! Our internet was down here at home for about 2-3 hours! Da** Verizon! Our internet at work was down for 2 days and now here! Any who, checking in one last time for the night! Goodnight all! God bless us everyone! Especially you Carmy , family and hubby!

83 posts! WOW!

Drystyha - I have a question I believe you answerred a week or two ago but I couldn’t find your reply. How is your name pronounced? I’ve tried it several ways and it always sounds Russian or Slavik; and there are parts of teh russian alphabet I can’t pronounce. Did you say your parents or grandparents are first generation Americans?

Rad Just caught the comment about a DRY heat! Was you referrin’ to me, dude? HUH? :-)

Night all!

OK, looks like everything is slowing down here. I’m gathering up my stuff and packing it in for the night. I’ll have a coupla boxes of ham or sausage kolaches with jalapeno flavored cheese in the morning when I get here.

Hello all… ooooohhhh no one is here again! I got change my schedule.

johnny Not everyone has gone! Benefit of being a west coaster! **MrNavyBean You are welcome here! I think Prickly City got picked because there weren’t a lot of posters on a daily basis. We were on WTP but it’s pretty popular so we moved party here!

Oh hi JFri, I am not a west coaster, but I live on their schedule. BTW, this is post #90.
