Pirate appears in ‘Chuckle Bros’ today!
carmy said, about 22 hours ago
He’s reading MAXIM?
Dry! Where’s the coffee? I’m going to have to steal Wink’s coffee and his world is going to blow now too!
Akenta said, about 17 hours ago
Good morning and Happy Friday!! I guess I’ll make scrambled eggs for everyone. Yeah, that would be safe to cook. I think I have some frozen waffles too I can heat up. And some cereal - all out of milk though. I guess I need to do some grocery shopping.
donkeymom said, about 16 hours ago
Morning Tribe. Akenta, have a great long holiday weekend. Is it cool at your house too? Going to play in the dirt before it gets too hot.
Akenta said, about 15 hours ago
I haven’t been outside yet, but I haven’t had to turn on my air yet. donkeymom and josh do you either of you take part in the Peachtree Road Race? I don’t, but a few people from my office will be running in it tomorrow. I’m going to try and get up early and see if they run past a camera. Let me know if I should watch for either of you.
donkeymom said, about 15 hours ago
Akenta, My running days ended many years ago due to my knees. I did a lot of races back in the day, but never the Peachtree. Too many people. I still walk regularly, and truthfully, I walk about as fast as used to run.
In a little while I’m going to the mountains.

Don’t worry about breakfast Akenta, today is the first day of the Stampede, so it’s flapjacks, bacon, sausages, and orange juice all around!
Akenta said, about 15 hours ago
Thanks DFrog that’s yummy!!
doctortoon said, about 15 hours ago
Dry - What’s the deal posting first and not making breakfast?
You’re getting lazy on vacation, good thing you’re going back to work next week.
marg - I’ll stock some frozen breakfast items in the Tribal freezer for the next time our first poster leaves us hungry.
carmy - There is ALWAYS Nuclear Coffee in the reactor.
Do be careful, it is rather ‘hot’.
Akenta - Come do your grocery shopping at my store, I need the hours.
donkeymom - It’s cool, cloudy and raining here.
Might spoil some peoples 4th, but I like it.
I have to work tomorrow night so I’m going to miss the fireworks anyway.
DF - Thank you. At least someone had a good breakfast ready when I got home.
johnnydoc5 said, about 15 hours ago
Good morning all! Well I’ll be, he is reading a Maxim.
Thanks, for the breakfast *DF*!
doctortoon said, about 14 hours ago
Johnnydoc - Do you think he’s actually reading Maxim, or just looking at the pictures?
cleokaya said, about 14 hours ago
Good morning dry, marg, carmy, Akenta, donkeymom, DF, doctortoon7 johnnd.
*DF* - I have only been to the stampede once. I loved the chuck wagon races.
johnnydoc5 said, about 14 hours ago
Good morning Cleo
Doc, having actually read a Maxim before, I can say that neither is very appropriate for a kid his age.
bmonk said, about 13 hours ago
doc, is your reactor coolant the coffee? I know some use molten sodium, others water. How long did it take to design a reactor to run on coffee?
doctortoon said, about 13 hours ago
Good Morning cleo
johnnydoc - I would agree, however, I was probably looking at Playboy when I was not much older than Pete.
My older brothers were a bad influence on me.
bmonk - I invented Nuclear Coffee when I was in college.
My memories of my college days are a bit hazy.
bmonk said, about 13 hours ago
@shika, did you catch my explanation?
Was it a good desperation save?
DawnAvril said, about 13 hours ago
*DF* See you at the Stampede! YeeHaww!
And thanks for the pancakes. Remember when they used to have peaches and cream with them at South Centre? Chinook still has a great breakfast but it is always so crowded. We go to the small ones to catch the entertainment.

Check out the * Dinette Set* today! Anyone familiar with the repartee with Joy, myself and often times JFri, will get a kick out it!

EMET left a strange message at NonSequitor for one of our own.
johnnydoc5 said, about 13 hours ago
That is a shame Doc, when I was that age and even older, me and my brothers were playing with blocks, legos, tinker toys etc. building worlds and the destroying them. Good times.

Alright, alright! I feel quilty for not making breakfast! BUT NO ONE WAS HERE!! So how about a nice picnic lunch?
Hamburgers, bratwurst, chicken wings, homemade macaroni and potoato salad, tomato and cucumber salad, fresh squeezed lemonade, cold beer, chilled wine, boston baked beans, corn on the cob and all the condiments for the burgers and bratwurst! Am I forgiven now?
DawnAvril said, about 13 hours ago
You are definitely forgiven, Dry!
And now off to RL.
P & L Tribe
doctortoon said, about 13 hours ago
Good Morning Dawn.
Dry- I was laughing so hard at the Dinette Set I couldn’t even come up with a comment.
You, Joy, JFri and Stouffers - How long ago was that?
We’ll let you know if you’re forgiven after we eat your picnic lunch
johnnydoc - My older brothers were the wild ones, I was along for the ride most of the time.
I turned out alright, didn’t I?
Don’t think I want an answer to that..
Drystyha
said,
about 12 hours ago
Gee doc, that was MONTHS ago, still gets mentioned now and again! :-D
So I’m not forgiven until you taste the lunch, then what are you waiting for man, DIG IN!!

OK so maybe Big Top’s no picnic but it smells like Dry has a good one set up for the tribe. YUMMY, thanks!
Hey all! Again this week RL intruded on my time so was unable to post but tried to keep up with the going’s on under the BT. I don’t think my absence created any disruption in the space time continuum for the tribe. (Sorry, just caught up on last season of Eureka so am in Sci-Fi mode.) I brought a deposit for the tribal bank.
☺ ♪ ♫
P & L all. I’ll try to drop in occasionally to see what’s happening.
carmy said, about 12 hours ago
Good Afternoon (or Morning) Everyone!
Akenta, thank you the tasty breakfast!
Doc, Doh! I forgot about the reactor coffee.
Dry, thanks for the picnic lunch!
tabbylynn said, about 12 hours ago
hi im here for now. how is it going?
doctortoon said, about 12 hours ago
Dry - We should see if Stouffers would sponsor the Tribe somehow. Maybe we could be in a commercial.
dcguys - You have been missed. There are so many people in and out of here anymore it is hard to keep track.
RL has been taking a lot of my time lately, too. That’s not a bad thing.
:)
doctortoon said, about 12 hours ago
carmy - Ineverforgetaboutcoffee
tabby - Life is good. I don’t have to be back at work until 10:30PM tomorrow.
tabbylynn said, about 12 hours ago
Doc you got it made then. but yuo miss all the fireworks. :(
so i have yet to catch up so i will ask this question… what do you think of my pic? can you see it well enough to know what is going on?

tabbylynn said, about 12 hours ago

tabbylynn said, about 12 hours ago
Carmy you were flashing people the other day??? i can’t believe it. lol shame on you guys for having dirty minds and taking advantage of my carmy like that.
Akenta said, about 12 hours ago
Dry great lunch. I see why you couldn’t make breakfast too.
Drystyha
said,

tabbylynn said, about 12 hours ago

carmy said, about 11 hours ago
Tabby, those guys were really getting crazy with that. It was just an innocent mistake I made. I got them back though, I went psycho on them.
I’ll BBL due to RL also.
tabbylynn said, about 11 hours ago

Dry -MMM. The perfect lunch.
I remember discovering my cousin’s Playboy magazine collection. It was a big collection. I was young, probably around 12 years old. I spent a long time pouring over those magazines, a long, long time. I can still remember it, as if it was yesterday.
doctortoon said, about 11 hours ago
Dry - Lunch was wonderful - You are forgiven.
You were forgiven anyway
I need to get up early so I should have gone to bed early.
Didn’t happen.
Should still get 5 hours sleep.
Peace and Love tribe.
