Big Top by Rob Harrell for December 14, 2009

That will be me soon! As I look to purchase a car.

Hmm, where is everyone? Well, since you all snuck away to get out of making breakfast, you can have what I will have tomorrow, a bowl of cereal, a bagel and cream cheese, and a glass of orange juice. No coffee, I don’t like coffee.

And now, I am going to bed, so I will wake up in time to have make that breakfast. Peace and love all!

HI, MARG!!

Johnny, I’ll add

Eggs, your choice. Bacon or ham Toast or english muffins Asst flavored teas. Asst fruit juices. Regular, Decaf or Doc’s coffee. Johanan’s CocoMocha.

*ALRIGHT, Since no one will bite the dust, I will! For breakfast as follows;

FIRST OFF DR. PEPPER

then hash browned potatoes bacon eggs, your choice V8 Chai tea earl grey tea Doc’s coffee Rakkav’s Mocha coffee Fruit compote Toast and APPLE BUTTER freshly made bagels with cream cheese and Chocalate pudding

Good Night Johnny

Good Morning JFried

Takes awhile to type all that out, so Johnny, Terry and I will share the breakfast honors!

And I even typed it out this time. ;-)

GOODNIGHT JOHNNY! HI MARG! HI JFRI! HI CARMY!

I don’t know if you saw my last posts from the turnover. Isn’t that song to good to waste on a troll? And what TV show is that song associated with?

Hello Dry!

Good Morning Marg!

HI DRY AND JFRI! ######Good night, Johnny. HI TERRY!

I could tell you typed it this time Terry, because you added Johanan’s coffee at the end. There should be enough for breakfast between johnny you and me!

I’ll have two eggs over easy, a raisin cinnamon bagel, some V-8, and some Hot chai!

I’m pretty sure there is. lol

I wasn’t going to do breakfast, but being a college student I figured he could use some help.

Terry, No. “Won’t Get Fooled Again” pretty well fits for trolls, once you’re on to them. They may not know you’re on to them but others do. And all the CSI series has the WHO as their opening theme songs, all 3 of the CSI’s.

Terry, I love your St. Nicholas avatar.

Thank You Marg

Dry, I still think The Who is too good to waste on a troll. I like their music too much to think of trolls when I am listening to it. I don’t watch CSI, that’s why I didn’t know.

Good night, All!

Good Night Marg

Belated Comments (Repeated From Yesterday):

1) Good job, DigitalToad!

2) Too Halloween? Nah, too Hanukkah (seeing it’s Hebraic).

Good Morning, everyone. Thank you again yesterday for wishing me a happy 50th birthday. So with that, have a piece of my just plain birthday cake!

Good morning and Happy Monday. Thanks for all the breakfasts!!

Ach - It’s Monday again. Can’t we start a week on Friday…just once!? That’s OK - it could be worse. Gray skies, mid-30s and very little white stuff left on the ground. Have a great week, all.

Good Morning Akenta, Mopar, Doc & Dcguys

Me too, Doc

good morning Tribe family. well off to another busy day ill stop by when i can, but i plan on getting the house clean today. peace and love all bbl

Johanan, I say that merely because it is messing with the human anatomy, and, the hunchback of Notre Dame excluded, all characters I can think of with characteristics like that come from Halloween.

Good Morning All!

Because I was worried that I would sleep through my exam, I woke up way too early, now I am tired and nervous.

Good Morning Johnny, JFried, Terry, Dry, MerryMarg, Rakkav, Akenta, dcguys, Doc, Tabby, MoPar and DigiToad. I’m on my way out the door, I’ll catch up with you all later. Johnny, I’ve told Tabby to pray before her tests and exams. You should do that also if you don’t to that already. :)

Shoot - I missed Josh and dcguys from my carol list yesterday.

I’m not sure it is divine intervention I need. Just a rewiring of the hard drive to make sure all the circuits are firing on all cylinders. Doc, I won’t ask what you were inhaling, I’ll just stick to my oxygen, and the occasional cigar.

Good Morning all. I am a Pepper rapidly speeding towards becoming a pauper.

I will sample from each of the provided menus. A toasted bagel with cream cheese, two eggs over medium with ham hash brown potatoes and V8, with my own addition of vodka. Now I am content because since it was offered twice a double jolt of Docs coffee. :-D

Doc it looks like your nuclear coffee just might be responsible for a few changes in Jon at Garfield minus Garfield.

Howdy Doc. Yep nuclear coffee in his lap is probably the only action he has received down there. At least from an outside source. LOL

Goodmorning Doc, cleo, Akenta,Dmistletoad, johnny, carmy, dc guys, marg, tabby, MoPAr, terry. johanan, marg, and JFri.

Dmistletoad, don’t worry about missing Josh in the song, he’s one of those annoying things that comes around like mosquitos do in the summertime!

Pauper Poodle picked a pack of puppy Peppers; A pack of Pepper puppies pauper poodle picked; If a pauper poodle picked a pack of puppy Peppers, Where’s the pack of Pepper puppies the pauper poodle picked?

bmonk Good Morning. I can see by your post that they keep you quite busy at the monastery. LOL

Good Afternoon Joy

Good to see you!

Good Afternoon to Cleo, Dry, Bmonk, Tabby, CommicAddict & Risitas

Good Night Doc*

bmonk that was a mouth full and then some! LOL!

Hi Terry

Hello Terry.

Dcguys

Thank you, I copied it.

Dry–I think I was wrong about someone…………………….not on this site……………………………

Got some more RL pressing…………………………..BBL

AAARRRRRRRRR!!! I have NO idea what she be talkin’ about!! Th’ very idea that I be drinkin’ RUM!!

comicaddict: To play Captain Obvious here, I think the Skull and Crossbones would be the first clue…:))

My guess is that the rum is Captain Morgan’s. Interesting stuff. Not quite in the league of even the cheap rum I got in Barbados on a visit this last fall, but Cap’t Morgan has the virtue of being Puerto Rican spiced rum.

okay so bathroom floor and kitchen mopped. bathroom cleaned even the potty yuck. now the floors are drying and ana is crying. she is “Really really really realy hungry tabby” i told her the floor is wet and she should have eatten earlier. she goes “tabby you making me cry you not my friend anymore.” then about a 2 min quite spell and she goes ‘tabby i really really hungry i want to eat my pizza”

so here she has me feeling all bad again she is good at it. and she is stressing my name taa bby shes so sad. what do i do? she is not going in there till the kitchen drys and not eatting in the living room on my light brown carpet.

G’nite Joy, sorry I missed you, but I am getting my sleeping schedule back on track. That means not staying up until the turnover, and means no more naps. The next few days will be tough, but I will work myself back into seven - eight hour nights, and 16-17 hour days. I don’t know how you do it Doc.

Jdoc you are going to have a rough time so good luck

Joy good night love ya mom!

Joy you are so crazy i love having you on here. missed you good to hear from you. (((((((((JOY)))))))))))))

OMG!!!!! SO SO SO NOT NOT NOT NOT HAVING KIDS MOMS YOU ARE NOT GETTING ANY GRAND KIDS FROM ME. NOPE NOPE NOPE NOPE. AHHHHHH

Joy, since our AD is a total jackass, all we can do is give Rodriguez one more chance and hope for the best. Tabby, trouble at home? Actually, I can’t stay around for an answer, I have to head out now. bbl.

Jdoc she is just being wild thats why i call her wild child. she is running amuck screaming and singing and banging on the drums and driving me nuts!

oh god so my 13 year old cousion just complained about my hand writing. he thinks his is all great? lol mine is bad but his is worse. and hes asking me what that says. see why i hate homework.

So i have a meeting tomorrow that ill be lugging Ana along with me to. and we will be discussing this book we read and the main quote of this book that the class talked about was this…..

15.)“this is my wife, you will respect her, but don’t talk to her she’s a slut.”

not trying to offend anyone. but it was funny at the time. and its just the thing we connect the book with now.

MARCO!!!

POLO

DRY THANK YOU!!! I WAS ABOUT TO SAY IT MYSELF!!

and shes gone.

Well, I have finished painting the bedroom and spent 1 3/4 hrs shoveling my driveway … all for free. What kind of life is this anyhoo?

Cleo as I said, JFri and I would be very glad to help paint!

i want to paint!

Oh CLEO, Cleo, Whoa cleo! Don’t tell me you don’t trust us? Oh come on Cleo, we do a good job! (How’s your neighbor, don’t think you ever answered that question!)

Dry & JFri want to paint, I’ll send you both a paint by numbers canvas, bet you can’t even stay within the lines.

Tabby thanks for the offer, but I think you have enough work on your hands. You need a break sweetie.

Dry I think your time may be best served if I let you polish.

Cleo but i think painting is fun… I WANT A PAINT BY NUMBER!!!!

:D

“i not sick anymore tabby the chips made me better”

Cleo WE CAN TOO STAY INSIDE THE LINES! (Until we get into the Bookers, anyway!)

Terry saw your earlier comment, to whom were you referring?

Chips always work wonders don’t they? Tabby unlike some others that I could mention, I do believe you could do quite a nice job with a paint by numbers canvas. :-)

Thanks Cleo hey if the Chips work so be it. who am i to tell her they wont.

okay time to go cook supper and check the clothes in the washer and dryer. bbl

Booker’s?

Bookers!

No Doc, for that you will need one of Carmy’s machetes!

Good Evening, Dry, Doc, and Mopar!

POLO!

Hi bmonk Getting my playlists together for my Christmas present for my kids to burn me some CD’s.

Just getting ready for a Christmas Concert myself.

Hi everyone, just came back from a walk - what is that white stuff? wasn’t sure if I should keep this name or call myself Feliz NaviDawn? DMToad you are certainly creative. I loved it enough to try to read almost all of yesterday’s posts!

I’ve been scanning thousands of slides from when we were married, some forty years ago - takes a looooooong time! And oh the nostalgia!

Evening, SnowDawn

And I must be off to get a good seat for the concert…

Dry* and Carmy he took a shower and you missed it.

oaky im back long enough to say that i am going do the dishes and then bathe and back here.

also that i am sick and tired of always being wrong. :0(

bbl sometime and its nothing you guys did. its my stupid family.

I have a bottle of Booker’s here and have poured a healthy snifter each for Dry and MoPar. Anyone else who is interested can grab a snifter from the cupboard and pour their own. I may disappear for dinner soon and I wouldn’t want the thirsty to have their thirst go unquenched.

Tabby, I wish I had gotten a pinch, but I want to get my Christmas present set up for my kids!

Good evening all! I am about to crash, but I need to drag a few more hours out of today.

johnny watching the football game?

GPA 2.25 i have 2 B’s one D and a C so far. i am waiting on my English grade that is it. so who knows k now to wash dishes.

johnnyd are you managing some relaxation in your day because that is important as well?

You know, the more that I read this strip, the more bummed out I get about it not being around anymore. I have the same feelings about Citizen Dog (and of course other more obvious choices). I am off to dinner folks.

I didn’t do much today, I shouldn’t be too busy for the rest of the year. I am just tired.

Dry, I am, I am hoping beyond hope that the 49ers keep Warner quiet. That would bode well for me.

Johnny, Well, this is one game I don’t care about, so I’LL CHEER YOU ON! LOL! I can’t believe I have made it as far as I have in FF! I am SO PROUD OF MYSELF! I guess some of my earlier training is coming back to me! Back in the day, I could have told you EVERYTHING you wanted to know about college and pro football, I mean everything! My dad couldn’t believe it! Then I got older and real life got in the way! Sigh! When I was a kid, I wished I could have been born a boy so I could play football! Now, they have women sports announcers, I would have loved that!

Eh, I would be more proud/disappointed if I’d been allowed to pick my own team.

HI TRIBE -

Wandered off the Birdbrains reservation to see how you all are doing. Looks like I offended (I hope it was me and not one of you clever folk) Joe-Allen “Joe” Doty. Wow, now I’ve gone all Larry Flint on him with buffalo chips, I guess.

Anyway, just thought I’d drop in and thow up a couple of words to say “Hi, Everyboddddy!”

Thom Thom

okay dishes are done. and now im in bed just sulking.

Hello Thom! What seems to be the problem Tabby?

HEY THOM!

Glad you could join us! This is quite an honor!

Thom i added my two cents over at BB

Jdoc my stupid flipen nanny has me ticked off so da ng gum bad right now. i just want to walk over there and knock her block off. ugh!

in my familes eyes i just cant seem to do anything right. i upset her because i gave Ana the med. she didnt want her to have. well if she would have told me she didnt want Ana to have it then Ana would have gotten it. but no she expects me to be a flipen mind reader and know what she wants and doesnt want. well i am not a mind reader i am one stiken person who has to much to do as it is and who is just trying to help her out because i love Ana and dont want anything to happen to her. pluse my grandmother called trying to stir the pot and get me mad at my nanny and get my nanny mad at me. well i have leared yesterday do keep my stupid mout shut no matter what to my family bc it gets back and i get in trouble. i am just done i am fed up i have had enough and i need a break!!!

Jdoc sorry its not your fault and u didnt ask for all of that.

Tribe sorry i am upset and seem to be cranky i may step away because i am lible to blow up. going cool off. nothing you all did.

love you guys ill be back ina few mins

It is good to keep your mouth shut. Tabby, but I would try to explain to the nanny that you didn’t know that she didn’t need the medicine. You never know, that might help.

Tabby, no worries, what are friends for if not a vent for your troubles?

**Okay i am back watched a few clips i got in my email and sent out a christmas gift for aproval. so im a calmed down now.

jdoc thanks bro. she told me to give her her med. it was on the counter the only one there was the one i gave her. so the child is fine. just hyper as heck. lol

Howdy Thom, nice to have you stop by, after all you have definitely become a major part of the Tribe.

Thom, I believe any negative comments about BB were meant to be directed to those commenting, not the cartoon or cartoonist.

AAAARRRRRRRRR!!! What be this BOOKERS?? It not be rum but smells like it might could be good ‘nough ta sip.

AAAAARRRRRRRRR!!! Mighty fine it be!!
