Nope. I’m wide awake.

Goog Morning ♠Lonewolf♠ and Grog

Heres your order Grog, enjoy!

Great sounding menu, Sojo. I think I’ll have a slice of that heavenly German Chocolate Cake, and a cup of SleepyTime Tea……:))

Good morning, to All to Come, whenever you get here!

Happy Friday!

♠Lonewolf♠ - Orders up! Enjoy!

Good Morning MontanaLady!

TGIF!

I hope LuvChaos misses BB this morning. We don’t need Thom giving her any ideas.

Thanks, Sojourner.

Good morning MontanaLady - Here’s your order!

Good Morning, MontanaLady.

And the day is saved! :-)

Hello and good morning everyone

Now let’s see MMM! good menu. Sojo I wish to sample one of everything on your menu, but no alcohol.

Good Morning Little Sister - Here you are!

MMMM! Yummy! It sure hits the spot. Thank you Sojo.

Thank you Sojo. That was a great meal!

With that I must hit the horizontal position.

Good Night everyone!

P&L

Oh! I missed everyone!

Once again an esteemed member of the TRIBE steps to the plate and produces a batter of fine breakfast.SOJOUNER I’ll try your cheese plate, hold the crackers and a cup of DOC’S transforming brew.

Speaking of baseball, and nobody but me was, I’d like to explain the 86 year rule. No matter how good the Boston team is, God will give us excuses (like disabled players) so we can hold our heads up for almost a century till we win again. Cubbies will understand.

Morning TRIBE. Now is not the time to wear pinstripes in New England.

@Lewreader, like Cubby fans often say (they have to…): “Anyone can have an off century.”

Good Early Morning!

You may now return to your regularly scheduled rest.

And now the KEY FINDERER Good morning

TRIBEANDALL TGIF!!!!!!

Last good day for a bit Terry Toon tour and spam slappin time POOF

Good morning, everyone!

After eight terrific days in New Braunfels, TX., I’m ready to return home today. So I’ll have everything. Not a little bit of everything. Everything - even mugs of the Coffee and the CocoMocha, each in their seperate unobtanium containers.

Only one condition: nothing that comes from the pig, is a crustacean, etc. Save those for someone who appreciates them…

About the comic: here is surely an example of what I call Brute Force Stupidity. For once I’m with Dusty.

Still, as Capt. Jean-Luc Picard once observed, sometimes you just have to bow to the absurd. :)

Oh, by the way… check out Sherman’s Lagoon today on Comics.com or anywhere else it’s featured. It seems there’s more than one wannabe superhero lurking about…

Good Morning, Tribeandall

Another very busy day ahead. I’ll be scarce again today.

Remember the slogan, “Roustabouts! Eat the pudding!” from a few days ago?

For Superwink, that actually makes a fair amount of sense. I may ask him if I can rent it out.

Of course my Boss has a simpler phrase or two: things like “Surrender or die!” or (when he’s really on his CocoMocha) “Let there be Light! Banish the Darkness!”

(P.S.: The Boss invites THE SOJOURNER’s avatar this morning to a sparring match under 100 gravities. Should be fun for both.)

Good Morning Tribsters!

Good Morning, Bmonk, Johanan, Grog, RwB, Lewreader

We can enjoy it while it’s here, RwB.

Morning All!

It’s quiet this morning. I’ve been out in the garage getting a car ready for repairs and I figured I would have some catch up here at BT.

G’Morning, DFrog.

Good Morning* Lonewolf, Little Sister, LuvH8/BBS,Grog,Doctor Toon, RwB, Doc, MontanaLady, Woodeye, hopeandjoy2, Johanan Rakkav, Rmom,Lewreader, Digital Frog, The Sojourner,Bmonk,*

Little Sister sorry to inform you I hope your instructor advises you to keep practicing, I know for a fact though too late for me, 50-60wpm is considered slow for some positions. I’ve witness workers speed typing 90+ to 100 wpm I’m amazed, I ‘ve also commented on this and was informed my position doesn’t require speed typing and I’m typing just fine. Soon to be former boss has complimeted me on my speed and I think yea right not that fast. You can, I’ve done lots of time, on interent google it practice typing to work on your speed.

BBS has already been on BB. What does one expect birds to eat but worms.

Today a special Happy Birthday to my daughter turns 25 today. I told her, her dad and I marred when I was 25.

She would like this type of birthday cake watches very carefull her calorie intake.

Good Morning, Kab.

Happy birthday to your Daughter, Kab!!!

Some of you car buffs injoy.

Good morning all, from the outskirts of the nation’s capitol.

Good Morning Tribeandall….

Just popped in to see how everyone’s doing.

Margaritas tonight anyone?? Hawaiian shirt Friday????

Good Morning, Doc & MisngNOLA

Love the pic, Kab

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

Hello to all those here!

Happy Birthday to your daughter Kab!

Good Morning Doctor Toon. - Enjoy your last days of freedom!

Doctor Toon - Having the time off is good for you, glad you have been able to enjoy it. I hope the next few days go well!

That’s what I’ve heard!

Hello, Sojo. I’ve been out working on a car this morning. I needed some specs off of the computer, so I decided to take an early break here.

Hi ♠Lonewolf♠ - Must be brunch, it’s way too early for lunch! :-)

11:44AM lunch was 2 hours ago.

Hi RwB - LOL

Sojo & RwB - - No food, just a nuclear coffee break to give me some energy! LOL

Adam @ Home sure does have fun with Nuclear coffee doesn’t he?

Some do have vivid imaginations, sometimes. That’s what makes BT TRIBE special.

See you later Doctor Toon.

Not much yappiness since I last posted!

That is true Ladyhawk, Sojo and Little Sister do get a bit creative with the Nuclear Coffee.

Hi Lonewolf

Good Afternoon! Esp: ♠Lonewolf♠ & LuvChaos

It’s too bad Little Sister, Big Trouble changed her name…

My Coffee-powered Superpower of the Day: Chipmunk Voice The ability to speak as if you’ve just inhaled helium at will and sing as if on fast speed.

Good Afternoon LuvChaos and bmonk.

Hi Bmonk!

I was supposed to give up coffee last Friday?

HiSojo. Whatsupwithyou? Itsareallyniceautumndayhere.

bmonk - It’s hard to hear you with your voice so high pitched. It’s a nice day here. Just been checking out PB and e-mails.

Hello Sojo, did you understand what Chipmonk just said?

What color is a marriage?

What color is an echo?

What color is a ghost?

ItsagoodthingImabaritone, oryoumaybecouldnthearmeatall. MaybeIcanmakemycomicrounds reallyreallyfasttoday?

LuvChaos - Yes but I had to shift my time to do it.

bmonk - If you don’t leave comments! :-)

Whatcolorisathought? Whatflavoristime? Whatshapeisasnowflake? Whatsizeisanidea?

I can’t understand a thing he says now. I haven’t had any Nuclear coffee since Wednesday.

I am curious as to which name he liked that Little Sister was using. Do you think you could translate?

Butleavingcommentsismostofthefun! Especiallychipmunkcomments! DoIdarechangemyname? Chipmonkmightwork. Withamatchingavatar?

Me thinks bmonk did inhale something, but it wasn’t helium.

Hmmm….. it might be too hard to translate what he says today.

LuvChaos - I don’t think bmonk said what he did like.

Igetsquirreleyeverysooftenanddothingslikethis. IthinkLittleSistersnamewas”CuteLittleSister”, whichImade”CuteLittleTrouble.”

Let me try ……. Chipmonk might work, do you think you can find or make one dressed as a monk? Or would that be offensive to some?

Should we just call her Trouble, no matter what name she is using?

You mean BT would have Big Trouble and Little Trouble?

You are going to call Sister Kab by the name of Big Trouble? Hmmmm……… it might work.

Good afternoon LuvH8, Bmonk & Sojo!

I’m still working on that car. Had to run and get more parts. It’s being difficult.

TheresthiscartoonthatIfound:

Nice?

♠Lonewolf♠ - You’ll get it!

LuvChaos - Sister Kab would have to be Middle Trouble.

AndthatwouldmakemeHighTrouble?

Chipmonk - A vow of slience for chipmonks sounds good.

OnlyTrappistchipmonks…

You can be High Trouble.

He certainly causes enough.

Idomybest!

I didn’t notice until the Bmonk Tribute how similar the garb of a monk and a reaper really are. Is it a coincidence? Or because traditionally religious people are present at the passing of individuals if possible?

This is one of those things everyone but me already knows, isn’t it?

Ididntthinktheywererelated. Imean, monksdontusuallycarryscythes, nowdothey?

I’ve been busy for a bit. Sure seems like a relation to it to me.

OurGrimReaper/DeathseemstocomefromtheCelticversion (seethewikiarticle) withablackhoodedcloak, notamonastichabit. Soitsnotreallyrelated.

Chipmonk - Interesting article.

IgotGooglefu! (sometimes)

Oh my goodness! What has happened since I left last Saturday for vacation?

First things first now…Sojo I helped myself to some biscuits and gravey and added a piece of chocolate cake for good measure from a good menu.

I will toast Doc Toon and his soon-to-be-bride with a cup of Nuclear Coffee and wishing them good weather for the wedding….. a shout Happy Birthdayto Kab’s (or middle sister’s daughter. Also congrats on typing!

Question Is Little Sister o.k.? (My husband will disown me if I read all the previous days) even though he understands a bit about the Big Top now as we chatted over the miles.

LuvChaos and Chipmonk What has happened to bmonk? You guys are trying to spoof me, right???

Glad to see some familiar names and a few faces too We had a good time in Nebraska, Wyoming, and South Dakota. Good to return to lovely weather here.

Arewetryingnottobespacey

No, theDocTsnuclearCoffeeIdrankearliergaveme thesuperpowerofsoundinglikeachipmunk. Onspeed.

Hopeandjoy2 - Glad to hear you had a good and safe trip! Things are always changing here and is somtimes hard to keep up even when your here every day as you know.

Welcome back HopeandJoy!

Identity Crisis is contagious.

Little Sister is fine except for the IC.

I believe Doc T is performing the ceremony.

Bmonk had his Birdbrains Tribute on Monday!!!

Hurray…I will check it out.

Doc T is performing another ceremony…not his?!

Itsoundslike agoodtime, Hopeandjoy2. Ohgood. Itseems tobe wearing off a bit.

LuvChaosthanks for update…

He explained it several months ago on For Heaven’s Sake about how his son’s friends would come to him for advice on things and somehow he became a spiritual leader for several of them who realized they gave up on religion as an institution not God himself. When the some of these young adults expressed a wish for him to perform their wedding ceremony for them, he went through the process to become an ordained minister. (or something like that) He has performed a few marriage ceremonies for them.

bmonkI enjoyed reading the Wiki descriptions…To me, natural death is not evil but I grew up with all the various depictions and have fun with Halloween.

I agree about death–the Rule of Benedict reminds us to “keep death daily before your eyes.” Keeps things both humble and real.

good for Doc Toon I am glad he is someone who helps young people..we need more.

Did I cross too far over the No Religion? If so I apologize. I always kind of thought it should be very little religion. How else are to find out if James is still singing in the choir?

Well, now that I’m nearly back to normal [snerk!] I must go for now. Gotta get ready for the local HS football game tonight.

Bye!

Good afternoon/evening everyone!

Hi Hopeandjoy2

WELCOME BACK!!!

Sojo, I know. :^)

I did get the difficult part completed. Now it’s just putting it all back together again. I had to replace a camshaft seal, crankshaft seal, balancer shaft seal and an oil pan gasket on a 93 Volvo. I am lucky to enjoy the work I do for a living. And I make money at the same time!

Hahahaha! Hi, Chipmonk!

See you later Chipmonk.

Hello everyone :-)

Hi, Lil’ Sister”.

Got the cleanup done, I’ll finish the repair job on Sunday and now it’s time to relax and by the way………………..

It’s Pizza Night!!

Bye Everyone

I am off to drive sedately to Vernowhere and back. While I am being slow, for giggles I might even drive safely.

Hooray it’s Pizza night….and I want some ;-) Please!

Hi Little Sister Tried to reply to your last post this morning but it wouldn’t take it. After awhile I couldn’t even get on the site. GoComics must of had problems again but don’t think it bothered some. Finally went to sleep.

I hope you do drive safely Big Sister.

Bye LuvChaos.

I’m off to have some fun and maybe cause a little pandemonium in town.

Have fun Little Sister.

Do you really think LuvChaos will drive carefully? Hope so. Take care Little Sister and have fun.

Lonewolf thanks for the welcome back! Good to be here. Have fun with Pizza Night and good luck tomorrow with James’ football game. Our team is out of town but playing well at present.

Lil’ Sister, there will be pizza on the buffet when you return. Have fun.

Hopeandjoy2, James’ high school is away this weekend also.

Tribe, there is pizza of every kind on the buffet tables. Everything from plain cheese to loaded! Thin crust, double dough, cheese filled crusts………………………..if you can think of it, it is on the tables!

Help yourself and enjoy!

Thanks ♠Lonewolf♠ - I’ll start with a piece of each thin crust!

Me toooooo!

To Living room to see if Royals can win one more.

Eat hearty everyone!

some one early said Hawian shrt Friday…Am eye tew late??

Not at all Owlsly - Good to see you.

PIZZA!!!!!!

The Sacred ‘Za, source of every bit of nutrition required by man or beast.

Now I’m almost glad I’m busting my butt to get my car loaded up for the church yard sale. Most of the stuff isn’t tagged yet, I suspect will be tagging stuff until noon. Gotta be there at 6am…at least the weather is nice.

Luvchaos I think the thing about religion in the comments is there are two types of comments:

A) ” YOU COME TO MY CHURCH AND BELIEVE WHAT I BELIEVE OR YOU WILL BURN IN HECK!!!” (kinda wish I could do flames to complete the ‘heckfire’ preacher.

B) “Gotta dash, the choir’s singing today and I’ve got to get to the church on time.”

As you can see, comment ‘A’ is the prohibited in the comments type. Comment ‘B’ is more related to happenings in my life and should be no problem in a comment.

Time to get the room back into a bit of shape. It usually looks like a hurricane hit it, but today it looks like some tornadoes were along for the ride.

But before I leave, I”m helping myself to the Sacred ‘Za’ Thanks!!

Hi Quaby - Good to hear from you.

Hi Quaby. Have fun!

You got it right Quaby None of this I’m right and you’re wrong…etc.

Personally, I like a community made up of different people and cultures who care about each other, respect one another’s viewpoints and are interested in learning, communicating and being of service to others when possible.

POP! Hi, tribe! ‘Tis been a busy day for me. Didn’t start out too rough, but with hubby on vacation today (to work around here) I’m always adapting to his requests, or asking him to do a wee project while he’s here and awake. I decided I needed to grocery shopping, but didn’t want to do it tomorrow, when the youngest has his tutoring session. On the way into town, I heard a very loud ”whack!” Turns out that something hit my glass sunroof, and shattered it. Thankfully, I’ve got full coverage - unfortunately, with a $500 deductible. I added in a trip to the body shop to get it estimated and start the ball rolling to get it fixed. At least the body shop we do business with (I’ve known the owner’s wife for over 20 years) is a preferred provider with my insurance company, so it could be more of a hassle. Well, now to eat a piece of apple pie I just baked, and play a game of Scrabble with my son. (I’ll probably lose, knowing him!) POOF!

Good to hear from you Rmom. Sorry to hear about the sunroof but at least you wern’t hurt.

Hi Rmom!

Hi Rmom Apple pie sounds good…so does Scrabble.

Nite for now.

Good Night Hopeandjoy2.

Hi Everyone, I’m back. :-)

Drats! I see our Spammer friend paid us a visit.

Hi Little Sister = Hope you had a good time. I’ve flagged everything he’s spammed so far, 79.

Wow! You have been busy Sojo.

Yeah I had a good time.

Actually it’s easy and dosn’t take long. Just go to his profile and start going to the messages he’s posted from the botton up as new ones go to the top. Going back and forth it’s quick to hit all of them.

That’s good, because I do not like spammers.

I like spammers about as much as a can of spam.

I usually just flag withouy commenting. Sometimes you read comments after the spam is deleated and there’s 10 comments to go through about flagging it. :-)

Me too. I grow sick of it and the comments about it.
