Happy Monday, fellow comics fans. The coffee is ready, and there are bagels today and left over ham for ham and eggs.
Tabby: You were a little hottie in that dress! Hope your feet are feeling better.

Good morning all.
Tabby, I love the pic and glad you had fun. I’m looking forward to seeing the rest.
Owlsly, nothing more to add than what everyone else has said, but sending good thoughts out to you and your wife.

Duh. I don’t understand this comic.
Morning All, You all are bringing too much good food here. No wonder I’m gaining weight.

Mornin’ Joy you’re up a bit early, eh?
Dry

carmy I think given Dusty’s track record, him trying hypnotism on them, strikes fear and terror in Pete. Best to get out of dodge as fast as possible!
HangingInThere

Yep, Dry had something relatively pertinent to post on SOTU, early. :-D Good times!!
Mornin’ all see we had a ‘suggestion’ this AM from a gmartin. Sigh…
Off to my ‘rounds’ in the WW of comics.

So we need to find a chat room? Ha! we did better gmartin997, we made one.
Good morning my friends.
Owlsley - Hang in there. Your friends are here for you.
tabby - You did look wonderful, and if I didn’t already have a girlfriend I would want to meet your teacher.

Dry, Aack, I don’t want to gain weight. I went from a size 20 down to a 14. I’d like to stay a 14 or perhaps a 12. What I really need to do is start my evening walks up again. Thanks for splaining the comic.
Dry

carmy now that I ‘splained the comic, do you think it’s funny?
Dry

doc good answer to our friend gmartin!
gmartin the creator of this strip seems to like us being here!
Carmy
said,

Dry, Yes, now that you have splained it to me, it is funny :)

Let’s not be too hard on gmartin.
Our ‘little’ party under the Big Top is just a tad eccentric.
I wonder how many people read us and just shake their heads.
On the other hand we have had at least one person post in to tell us how cool it is.
Dry
said,

doc we’re not eccentric! You’ve been to the Pibgorn parties haven’t you?
Doctor Toon

Dry - I’ve lurked at Pib, even commented a few times. My excuse for not getting more involved has been that there are too many posts and I could never keep up.
Oops - LOL
johnnydoc5 said, 7 months ago
Good morning all,
Pibgorn, I have thought about calling it a cult classic, I think that is appropriate…

GOOD MORNING TO THE BEST PEOPLE ON THE ‘NET!!!
TABBY - the picture is gorgeous, but only half as gorgeous as you. So glad you had a good time!
DRY - that list was emailed to me and I’m happy it made you giggle.
And because America runs on dunkin’, eat up me hardies! (just for you, commic!)
HAVE A GREAT DAY, EVERYONE!!!
……….or is that dunkin’ gives America the runs? Ack, too late!

There are a few people who have had bad experiences at Pib. I’ve seen them post about the Pibgorn cult. Brooke McEldowney is amazing and it is a great comic (9 Chickweed Lane, too) Pib grew from the fandom.
We’re different.
We’re more like the anti-SOTU. Instead of arguing and name calling we love on each other.

Oh Lord, Three Mile Island! Don’t remind JFri!
JFri said, 7 months ago
Sorry Dry…a little too close to home, eh? I see commic brought gator meat! Looks like maybe he dove in to save Joy which means he was probably telling the truth! Didn’t hear Joy refute his story this AM, did you?

‘Morning all! I had to leave off the “good” as I looked out the window and there’s white stuff all over the ground :(

Sorry about that DF*! Hey, *Joy was that pic taken from the fort?

Don’t knock my nuclear coffee. It keeps me awake and I’m my own nightlight. Still waiting on the super powers.

OH DEAR, OH DEAR, you poor souls!! 81 degrees at 11:55 AM. “Zippity do da, zippity ay, my oh my, what a WONDERFUL DAY”!!! :-D
JFri said, 7 months ago
docT Who’s knocking your coffee? I was following your recipe!
HangingInThere

Jfri No, it’s from the Lighthouse, it overlooks Salt Run and Conch Island. The ocean is on other side of the island. Salt Run north would take you to SA Inle. The Fort is on west shore of the Matanzas and the Inlet is a straight cannon shot to the east. :-)
BTW pirate me lad, that was the smallest of the gators, 6” if memory serves me, my hero!!!! :-)
The Tail meat is really good, easy to get here, it’s almost always breaded and deep fried. It’s a muscle meat so it is very firm. Of course they have to be a bit bigger and you need a license to harvest them.

JFri - Try the Chernobyl recipe coffee. That stuff gets your Geiger counter clicking.

Joy you mean the pirate could only hook a 6” gator! That’s a baby!!!
Good commenting @SOTU!

All this pirate talk reminds me of an oldie:
What does it cost to get your ears pierced for pirate earings?
A buccaneer.

Well guys, I fell asleep yesterday under one of these circus trailers. Woke up smelling like Tiger pee. Gonna see my honey tonight so I don’t think I want to do that again. I’m off to bed, good night/day.
johnnydoc5 said, 7 months ago
Good one *DF*.
Joy, I must congratulate you, you have turned SOTU into a somewhat cordial place. Kudos.

Thanks for the coffee JFri. It’s another beautiful day here to. The lake is like glass and everyday the leaves open a little more. Daffodils and tulips are brightening our yard and our magnolias and some of our rhodys and azaleas our blooming. Ah, I love it when it’s sunny.
johnnydoc5 said, 7 months ago
Good night Doc.
BTW this is post #50!
EDIT: #51 I guess.
