Morning Terry, Marg, bigg and MoPar!

So bloody mary’s get rid of stink, huh?

Good Morning all. Owlsly - I am glad that you have found a job that makes you happy. It is important to have a job that you can enjoy.

Dry - Bloody Mary’s dim the senses, so the stink is something vague and only mildly interrupts the buzz. LOL

Hey DoctorT - Are you into your days off now? Wasn’t yesterday the end of a six day stretch?

Happy weekend, Doc!

Good morning all!

Doc, I thought it was your job to know “what’s in store”….

ZOOOOOOOOOOM!! BEEP BEEP!!

ZOOOOOOOOOOM!! BEEP BEEP!

**I was cruisin’ in my Stingray late one night, When an XKE pulled up on the right He rolled down the window of his shiny new Jag, And challenged me then and there to a drag

I said “You’re on buddy – my mill’s running fine, Let’s come off the line now at Sunset and Vine But I’ll go you one better, if you’ve got the nerve, Let’s race all the way – to Shika’s Curve”

(Shika’s Curve) is no place to play (Shika’s Curve) you’d best keep away (Shika’s Curve) I can hear ‘em say: “Won’t come back from Shika’s Curve”

The street was deserted late Friday night; We were buggin’ each other while we sat out the light We both popped the clutch when the light turned green, You shoulda heard the whine from my screamin’ machine!

I flew past La Brea, Schwab’s and Crescent Heights, And all the Jag could see were my six taillights He passed me at Doheny then I started to swerve, But I pulled her out and there we were - at Shika’s Curve

(Shika’s Curve) is no place to play (Shika’s Curve… [sounds of skids and crashes] )

(Spoken): “Well, the last thing I remember, Doc, I started to swerve And then I saw the Jag slide into the curve I know I’ll never forget that horrible sight, I guess I found out for myself that everyone was right”

Won’t come back from Shika’s Curve…

(Shika’s Curve) is no place to play (Shika’s Curve) you’d best keep away (Shika’s Curve) I can hear ‘em say: “Won’t come back from Shika’s Curve”

(Shika’s Curve) is no place to play (Shika’s Curve) you’d best keep away (Shika’s Curve) I can hear ‘em say: “Won’t come back from Shika’s Curve” (fade)**

Dangerous Shika Curves ahead!! (Whistles)

ZOOOOOOOOOOM!! BEEP BEEP!

Doc saw your message at Overboard! What jammies? (SNERK)

I’d say Good Morning (late good morning, that is), but as I can see there are already too many clowns under this tent!

Late good morning also. Who’s the ringmaster behind all this?

doc Yes we saw them and were trying to figure out a way to make them get “lost” somewhere!! :-D

Good (barely) morning all! Owlsly, congrats on the new job. Give your boss hell! JFri, lol, got some free time on your hands today?

Good Morning Everyone! Just doing a hit and run. Lots of RL stuff going on.

What the hey? Dusty with the vodka and Wink with the celery, were they planning to drink Stucco’s bathwater? Sicko, gross, barf, yuck!!!!

Doc you can change your locks, but I have acquired a master key that works in any lock!! So good luck! :-P

johnny Free time has nothing to do with it! It doesn’t take much to amuse little minds like JFri’s! ROFLMAO!! :-D

I think he stole Jan & Dean’s song lyrics! But then, you’re too young to know who they were!

Pajamas?!?

ZOOOOOOOOOOM!! BEEP BEEP!!

(Swipes Dry’s keyboard! Little minds, eh?)

ZOOOOOOOOOOM!! BEEP BEEP!!

Yes Cleo pajamas: a loose, usually two piece, lightweight garment designed for sleeping or lounging. I figured you had never heard the term before so I copied the defination from the dictionary for you! See there, you learned a new word today!!! :-D

hi tribe just time for a quick flyby before work (and a probably vain attempt to catch up on my favourite toons). i miss you guys when i don’t get to the big top. let me just leave (hugs) for those of us who need them, and congrats to owsly on the new gig - i hope things work out well for you. toon time!

Hi there yyyguy!

Pajamas for lounging on a cool day would be okay, because they would be loose fitting and comfortable, but never for sleeping. Sleeping in anything but my birthday suit would be ridiculous. Anytime I have ever tried to wear a garment to bed (think years ago), it was always prone to getting wrapped up in a tight uncomfortable noose around the body. Not for me, ever again.

good bye for now, tribe sorry i couldn’t chat, but i barely caught up on the strips i read on this site, never mind the other site, or the puzzles. hope everyone has a good afternoon/evening while i’m at work. hope to be back later. gone.

Great afternoon out there, summers almost gone but the fall colors and smells are the best !

POUNCE! ROLL!

Good morning ###EVERYONE###! I’m adding a BIG deposit in the bank for (((all))) who need it right now.

I just finished the toons and lunch, and I want to be outside so bad I can taste it!! Only 6 more years and I can retire from work, but I’ll still be too young for Social Security. My husband retired this last year and I’m soooo jealous!

Forget PJs, I can’t even get my husband into a swimsuit! He doesn’t like to swim anywhere that’s not clothing optional.

I need to come up with a name for the hubs, like Doc has wildcheetah for his girlfriend.

Doc I left you a message at Nest Heads Terry I missed your breakfast - you were up late! Hash browns and salsa with Doc’s coffee - thanks! Owlsly Congratulations on the new job! JFri and Dry Now listen here, you guys! I’m going to have to install monitor wipers if you keep this up! :-P back atcha!

Okay all im home… went to the doc. today told me to not eat and come back tomorrow for bload test… fun fun fun. :0( my head still hurts. sigh well on to my homework. but before i go..

Jfri lol you had me rolling with that “Song” Shika will be proud. lol

Dry are you just gonnna let him get away with that? who are you and what did you do with *MY* Dry

(((TABBY))) I’m sorry to hear you’re still hurting. Do you mean that you can’t eat later tonight and then they take blood in the morning? Can you take Tylenol or something for the pain in the meantime?

this is just not my week. dad didn’t go to work today because he is sick. praying i dont get sick…. i wont get sick i refuse to get sick.

so im going to be smart today. :D im going to type up all of my hist notes, and any other notes i have so i can just add them day by day to the right place and stuff. this way i can READ it, lol, and find it…. so on to that now.

ps. i got a B+ on my essay. lol go me.

tabby! A B+ is great! That’s wonderful! Finish all your typing and then find somewhere to lie down where you can put your feet up, and cover your eyes so it’s dark. My friends used to call that a “power nap”, and it can really help. I hope it helps you.

is there anything out there in this world that will make this head stop hurting?? med dosent help i need something stronger then that c r u d!!! sigh. my body is used to tylenol, ibprofine (sp) and all of that other stuff. make it stop hurting.

Hello, everyone!

okay Tribe where are you all at? you are normaly not this quite…. whats going on? come out come out whearever you are…. i cant do my hw if no one is talking to me to keep me awake… come on….

hey get this the two guys who have done nothing all day get to come home and sleep. i have to do hw, cook, clean and deal with headaches. what do u think of that.

Tabby—You worry me dear!!!

(((((Tabby))))))

lonewolf i worry myself. (((((Tabby))))) (((((TERRY)))))

how are you my friend?

Hangin’ in there kid. I wish to hear you say the same soon!

when i find out what is worng with me i will tell you, till then i am just “Hangin’ in there” lol

Hey Tabby and Terry Hanging in there seems to be the catch phrase around here lately!

DRY how are you my girl? i miss you. how was work? hope it wasn’t bad. just think tomorrow is friday you are off of work. i have school still. lol oh the pic. ;0)

tabby - Hope you feel better sweetie. You always have more than your share of worries. Hang in there and take a healthy dose of good vibes from the Tribal bank.

tabby

Hello again Cleo! How’s tricks? ;-D

thanks Cleo the dr. gave me some papers to read up on about stress. and i had to fight the urge to LOL bc she wouldn’t listen to what i was saying she was stuck on what she wanted to say and was trying to tell her i was not under stress form school. lol but she didn’t listen to me.

Marker!!!

There were supposed to be hugs around your name and I screwed up so once again

(((((tabby)))))

Dry - Didn’t you know that Trix are for kids. :-P

Cleo yeah, but when you have a sweet tooth fix, they’re pretty good as a snack food!!!LOL!

HEY RAD get your butt over here and converse with us! Long time, no see. At the risk of repeating myself How’s tricks? ROFLMAO!!

When I read this, for some strange reason, I thought of our resident Doctor Toon… http://comics.com/natural_selection/ LOL!

Tabby - Excedrin makes an over-the-counter migraine medicine. That might help. Too bad you can’t eat, or I’d suggest some caffeine and/or salt. But a cool, dark, quiet place to lie down is the best advice I can offer for a migraine.

(((tabby)))

Cleo - I understand what you mean entirely about pajamas. My hubby & I only wear nightclothes when we’re sharing a room with someone else. (Like a motel room with our sons.) My MIL would probably have a heart attack if she knew we didn’t wear clothes to bed.

went to the store… for dad hes sick now im going eat i can eat tonight not tomorrow. mashed tators are for dinner. yummy

RRAmom - I also find pajamas are to warm to sleep in. I like a cool room to begin with. Pajamas under covers is intolerable for me. It also makes snuggling better and I do not necessarily mean that in a suggestive context.

@shika, ‘round hereabouts, there used to be a nightclub (later restaurant) called “The Curve”, because it was in the middle of a curve in the road…

To bad: after a few later reincarnations, it burned down, and is now defunct.

Maybe we could call the spot “Shika’s curve”??

(((tabby))) Smashed taters are good for a sick tummy. I’ll come help and dibs on cleaning out the tater bowl with my finger! LOL!

Hi Requin, Terry, Dry, cleo, Rad, RRAmom, bmonk… a few more are finally showing up…

sniff …is it just me, or do I need to soak in tomato juice, too? (ewww, wet lion cub. Nasty.)

back tummy full. teeth dont hurt doing good. tummy hurts now. :( wonder wonder wonder… oh i need to keep track of my food eattings….ill start tomorrow. lol

tabby Maybe you ate too much, were they good potatoes? My husband calls a full tummy a “milk belly” - you know, like kittens get after they drink a lot of mama’s milk. Maybe you have a “milk belly”!

I’m out of here, ladles and jellyspoons! Get to spend about 3 hrs with the hubs, then it’s off to sleep! I’ll be very busy at work tomorrow so I probably won’t be popping in too much! (((TRIBE)))

lol a “milk belly” thats cute. that is most likely it. who knows.

cleo PAGE 4 at Pibgorn, I see they have a pic of you in your SANTA SUIT!!! ROFLMAO!!!

Hi Ma’at, Bmonk, RRAmom, Cleo, Dry, & Rad.

To anyone I missed, Hi!

At FB practice with the Number 1 son! Blackberry enabled–Slow!!!

Saw that pic and was surprised it passed the nanny bot!

Good evening. As soon as I finished typing that I immediately thought of Alfred Hitchcock and his TV show.

Dry my dear lady. That Santa must weight about 300 pounds more than me, but having said that it would make a great avatar. LOL

Cleo - Ol’ Alfred did have a way of making that greeting sound rather sinister.

Good evening Doc,–You have the night off tonight, huh.

Glad to see you’re up, Doc!

Terry - I drove my van all day today, and had no problem. I’m thankful, but wonder when the next time will be. My hubby said “it’s working now” so he wouldn’t even look at it for me!

DOC NO! YOU STOLE MY FUN, but RL dictated that hopefully you would get up on your own! I KNEW YOU COULD!

By the way, are you missing a pair of pajamas? YOU BETTER GO CHECK! (SNERK)

Good evening Doc*.–So you now have two nights off starting tonight?

RRAmom–Once the more sophisticated auto computers came on board(early 90’s), it became very difficult to diagnose intermittent problems, espacially electrical. I react that way when I am repairing a vehicle in my business. Saves the customer money by not having to charge for each checkout, but they can get aggravated!!

Somehow I posted two greetings to you Doc! Blackberry is a pain sometimes! No. All the time, but at least I have a connection.

Doc yep they are doing all kinds of test on my bload tomorrow. and im proud of you….wondering about our wake up crew though.

@((((tabby)))),

Just saw your “fun” of a couple of days ago–ouch!

I have some of that same problem, especially when I’m coming down with a cold or something. They still haven’t a clue as to what causes it, but I suspect dehydration, possibly with wacky electrolytes. So I’m careful now to take more salt on occasion, and eat bananas, spinach, brocolli, beans, etc, and drink fruit juices (for the potassium). Seems to help somewhat.

Hope someone diagnoses you…

”cleo style” – that reminds me that Sunday or Monday I thought of cleo, but I cannot remember why or where… B.C. has the Fat Broad in a skimpy swimsuit, but that’s not it…

Maybe it’ll come to me. At 2:24 a.m. tonight.

And I’ll have to wake everybody up to let them know.

SNERK!

(Is that how it’s used?)

Doc Mom prefers you not run around like cleo? Gee I wonder why, ONCE A MOM, ALWAYS A MOM!! lol!

BMONK WAKE US UP AT TURNOVER AND IF YOU’RE FIRST, YOU CAN MAKE US BREAKFAST!!! AND WE DON’T LIKE JUST COLD MILK AND CEREAL!! :-D

@Dry, du’ja’think he was a little nudist back when he was a tyke of 3 or 4 years old?

Some kids never grow up…

bmonk im not

Dry

but ill answer that one… i think he was. lol i bet his parents caught him running around all the time with out clothes on. lol

@Dry, you defame me! I would never serve milk and cold cereal.

There’s always porridge.

It is nice to be thought of, no matter the reason. :-)

Cleo can you feel how loved you are? lol

Hi everybody! How’s the evening treating you good folks?

I see that around here we still have a rash of hit-and-run hugging…

Better than most and not as good as it could be Johnny! How about you?

bmonk POrridge? Oh please! But if you put lots of cinnamon and sugar on it, I’ll eat it! LOL!

And yes, we have a lot of hit and run hugging around here, because we REALLY like one another! We aren’t like SOTU!

HI JOHNNY!

doc YOU GO WILDCHEETAH’S MOM!

They are done here so I’m headed home. See you’s in a while.

hey, isn’t this the first night of Fantasy Football? I hope all goes well, I haven’t had time to REALLY do my part, I’ve done some, but maybe I’ll get lucky and kick the C R A P out of you guys, Terry and Johnny!!!! :-D

No, actually, hmmm, what’s in the pantry?

How about a classic American breakfast: some fresh-baked coffeecake (might not be strong enough to stand up to doc’s coffee), plus eggs over easy (or your choice, if you’re willing to cook ‘em), toast and jam, fresh squeezed orange juice, and coffee to linger over the paper with.

Is that better?

Anybody get the feeling that DoctorT was especially anxious to dump the Tribe?

Bmonk - That sounds good for a start - but how about waiting until turnover? Or are you that eager to serve breakfast? I’m hankering for some bacon, biscuits & gravy, and maybe some cinnamon rolls.

@cleo, wouldn’t you dump the tribe ifn your sweetie-pie ladycheeta was coming home?

bmonk sounds fine,and as you go along, we’ll break you in to other ideas for breakfast! :-D

So now, you WILL MAKE SURE YOU ARE NEVER FIRST TO POST, AM I CORRECT? ROFLMAO!!!

bmonk - Believe you me, if my honey wiggles her finger you guys are history. :-} :-} :-}

If’n I’s gonna serve you’all brekfest, I’s gotta start cooking early, ain’t I?

bmonk - Unless you are planning something super complicated, you don’t have to worry about breakfast for a while yet buddy.

Actually, I rarely am around at turnover, and even more rarely first…

@cleo, I found it! I found it! Tuesday’s Frank and Ernest!

bmonk - Just make sure you keep them warmed up. Cold bacon I can handle, but cold gravy? Yuk!

sorry i ran out there. im back now. lol did ya miss me?

Cleo k i love you man i do, but the hair on the chest i justs cant take. lol it bugs me…. ill not look you can keep ur pic up.

Back ya’all and better than ever! Ha-ha, that got a laugh out of Wolfangil!

OMG, the football game!

I’m in and out again, but still semi paying attention!!

(sweep, sweep)

Do you people not know how to empty an ashtray?

(dust, dust)

hymenoxis - I’d blame the ashtray on those guys smoking the cigars the other night. Me? I clear out whenever there’s smoke.

HI HY!! how are you? i havent seen you lately… heck i havent seen myself lately. :) how have you been?

hi hymenoxis (have to be careful how i type that to make sure the i and y are in the correct position), Terry, Tabby (hope you feel better soon, take care of yourself, y’hear?), bmonk, cleo, RRAmom (loved the link on the last page - don’t agree with PeTA’s tactics or emphasis. People first, I say), Dry, and DocT. i hope that’s everyone who is still here. just doing a quick “lurk at work” while i’ve hit a lull, and figured i’d say ‘hi.’ i’ll definitely be back on later (an hour or two) when i get home from work. hope the football fans are enjoying the game. gonna move on, for now. gone.

HI HY!!! I don’t think anyone started smoking the stogies yet? Where did that mess come from?

CLEO ROFLMAO! LOVE THAT AVATAR!!

btw hy, don’t blame me, either. tobacco smoke in close proximity makes me ill after a while. i don’t mind the smell of cigars or pipes at first, but after a while i get stuffed up and headachy, and who needs that.

bmonk I like Frank and Earnest and that one was , well, perfect for someone we all know and love! Wonder who that is?

Hi* *Hymenoxis & Yguy

I quit smoking after 20+ years!! It’s been a year this month!!

Congratulations, Terry. Can you hold the trash bag open for me?

(dump, wipe)

HI EVERYBODY!

AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!

Wow, that’s some curve there. I should slow down when I turn the page.

:-D

Hmm, Terry, I was just out for a smoke. How ‘bout that? Congratulations, though! My Aunt just quit too, we are very happy for her.

Neat song JFri! I see I’ve become a sort of Burmuda Triangle for fast moving objects

(vacuum, vacuum)

Hymenoxis- Maybe it’s all the lurkers smoking, not us.

CAN YOU HEAR ME OVER THAT VACUUM?

Here, let me move that chair for you Hy. You missed a spot.

:-D

JFri- Stop zooming! You’re stirring up all the dust!

HI Shika

Yes sir, the bag’s open!

Shika, not very helpful. Critiquing are own Hymenoxis, who cleans this place out of the goodness of his heart…

…Or extreme boredom.

Hi Shika!

hey Jdoc how are you doing tonight (little brother or big brother? i dont remember)

For the love of breakfast cereal! I was bombarded with advertisements, queries as to my disposition about leaving the current page, and had to walk through a graveyard to get back…whew.

Look…I smoke like a proverbial steam engine, drink like a provebial fish, and abuse Wifey Bit’s pink whatnots on a regular basis…I certainly am not in a position to judge.

(sweep, sweep)

I hate when that happens to me. Stupid adds. I am doing well, Tabby, and I think I am big brother, I am 20.

Careful Hymenoxis–We can’t afford to lose you!

Johnny–Oh to be a big brother at 20 again. Oh to be 20 again!!! LOL

Hmm, that might fall into the proverbial TMI, there, or maybe I am just too young for that sort of talk. (gives very best innocent look) That’s easier to do to now that I just shaved again. :-P

I second that! Hymenoxis - If you didn’t show up, we couldn’t walk through here for all the mess.

Won’t be long for me either Terry, 21 is a mere month away. I may be wishing some time away right now. I know I shouldn’t, but I am too excited.

Terry & johnny - I’d like to have the body I had at 20, with the wisdom I have at 50.

Terry…

Thanks, but I rather suspect you might. Be able to afford, that is.

The constancy of this group astounds me. I don’t think I belong, for the simple reason that you gather on a daily basis…an hourly basis…I lurk at work, and occasionally when I can at home, but you people seem to be so constant.

Best I can do is knock the crust off of this place…sweep up a bit…and decontaminate the radiological issues that occasionally crop up.

(waves dosimeter)

Hymenoxis–Other than enjoying your company on a more consistent basis, we wouldn’t have you any other way.

bmonk - Good one. I have always favored easy to wear comfort.

RRAmom–That goes without saying!

*HY you are ALWAYS welcome here!!! *You come in peace and we enjoy you, AND YOU ARE THE ONLY PERSON HERE WHO CARES WHAT THE PLACE LOOKS LIKE! LOL Seriously, I for one miss you when you don’t show up!

Dry, is right, you are most welcome here, Hy!

I’m going to have to let y’all party on without me. I’m having trouble keeping my eyes open & focused. Good night!

Good night RRAmom

Thanks. I wish I could be an every-day poster.

(scratches bottom, sweeps up stale Fritos)

johnny how are we doing on our FF? I haven’t watched the game, but I guess there is one on the NFL network, right?

Steelers and Titans, tied at 10-10.

Not that I care about that sort of thing…

(sweep, sweep)

Polamalu got injured on a blocked FG.

Hy If you know the score, you care!!! You can’t fool us football folks! So who is your fav between the two?

johnny

You don’t like either as I recall?

Hey where’d those stale Fritos come from? WHAT A WASTE OF GOOD MUNCHIES!!! Who did that? *JFri was that you? Or was it Carmy**? For shame you two!

Hymenoxis- I just came back to say good night. I wish you could post regularily too. You are part of the Tribe. It’s good to see you here.

Terry OH NO!!! NOT TROY!! I don’t have control of the TV right now. Is he okay?

hymenoxis - If you scratch your bottom and come up with stale fries, I want absolutely nothing to do with them.

Same goes for all who are on right now. I’m glad we post when we can.

DRY

Have you seen the roadrunner lately?

AKENTA

Did I miss you again?

TERRY?

Oh! I see Terry now.

Good night everyone. Take it easy. If you party without me this weekend while I’m on retreat, have a drink for me.

That’s for me. Not ON me! lol

Peace and Love

Shika, I think the roadrunner went thataway–>

Hello! Dry, although I was called the Frito Bandita forever ago (freckles), I did not make a Frito mess.

Good Night Shika!

(((((((Shika)))))))

I have no idea how the Fantasy Football works. I just went to check on my team and yeah, I don’t know what the hey is going on.

No,

<—————-

Thatta way.

I guess he circled back when I wasn’t looking.

G’nighty, all!

(((((Tribe)))))

Goodnight Shika! I hope you have a nice time at the retreat.

Carmy Me neither.

(((((((((((TERRY))))))))))

Yeah, have a good retreat, Shika!

Thanks Carmy. I think I will.

Nighy Nighy. (Again)

Good Night BMonk

Goodnight bmonk! Hey, did you see that thing about the email issues on comicsdotcom?

I don’t really know whose team is who, except for Shika, and Carmy, Shika doesn’t have anyone playing tonight. Carmy is crushing whoever she is playing, but my team has the most points. I hate the steelers, so they can’t lose by enough to make me happy. Plus, I kinda like the Titans. Good night Shika!

Good night bmonk!

Night bmonk and it looks like HY has left. Goodnight you two!

Johnny–How can you not figure which one is mine??

You must be tired!! LOL

shika enjoy yourself, lady! Have fun this weekend! AND BY THE WAY, THE DRINKS ARE ON YOU!!! HOPE YOU CAN COVER THIS ROWDY BUNCH, ESPECIALLY CARMY!!!*

Thanks for the update, johnny. I’ll have to go take a look and see if I can figure out who I am crushing.

I hope Hymenoxis is not stuck on page 4! LOL

YEAH JOHNNY AND MINE IS REAL EASY TO FIGURE OUT!!

It sounds like a good percentage of the Tribe is calling it a day. I say goodnight to those who depart as I dance back and forth between my movie and here.

*JOHNNY, I WEAR IT ON MY SLEEVE!!!! ROFLMAO!!!

I’m rowdy? It’s because of the machete right?

Pitt 13 Ten 10

TERRY, ROFLMAO!!!

CARMY, you carry a machete?* REALLY?* Since when? :-D

Dry, I think my team is playing yours. Sorry, I’m winning, neener, neener! I have several Steelers on my team, including the QB.

home from work (and with time to visit with fellow yappy nuts). Hi Tribe and that includes you, Hy. If i can be a tribe member despite inconsistent attendance, you certainly can be one (especially since you clean up and i don’t).

time to look at crossword puzzles. will look back after each one i finish.

Glad you’re back Yguy

good to hear from you, too, Terry.

No Carmy You aren’t playing me! Neener, neener, :-P!!!

Carmy while i don’t have a machete, i do have what my coworkers refer to as a “shank” (a prison knife, usually home made). it’s a piece of heavy gauge food grade stainless steel that i took out of a scrap bin and shaped into a knife for cutting oranges back about 15 years ago when i worked in a sheet metal shop. it’s lasted surprisingly well.

and ”hello” to you, too, Dry.

ZOOOOOOOOOOM!! BEEP BEEP!!

(Peruses Shika’s “nighty nighty** & whistles)

ZOOOOOOOOOOM!! BEEP BEEP!!

Dry, like I said, I have no idea how that Fantasy football works.

:-P

Whos’ doin’ b-fast at the turnover?

I thought bmonk was doing b-fast.

Night All! Big day tmr. Please keep us in your prayers!

consider it done, Dry

((Dry))

I thought he wasn’t sure about being here at the turnover.

Prayers and thoughts your way for you and yours, Dry.

(((((((DRY)))))))

Goodnight Dry!

(((((((Dry)))))))

Hi Carmy.

(checks carefully for eveidence of THE machete!)

yyyguy has a shank?

ZOOOOOOOOOOM!! BEEP BEEP!!

Night ((((((((((Dry))))))))))!!

ZOOOOOOOOOOM!! BEEP BEEP!!

Hey Cleo!–Done with the movie?

Dry, Always! yyyguy, that was a good deal with the shank, it was free and it has lasted for a long time! Terry, you’re right about bmomk, I don’t think he will be here at the turnover.

Terry - Yep and talk about a waste of time. Jim Jarmusch does some good movies, but this was a clunker.

Why don’t you handle b-fast JFri?

Not to worry Terry, the machete is sleeping.

Shanks, machetes, we don’t have a Tribe we have a chain gang.

Glad to hear it dear!

Sam Cooke reference!

LOLS, cleo!

my “shank” is only used for peaceful purposes. unless you consider the dissection of oranges to be a an act of violence.

Yep, Sam Cooke and Otis Redding.

Cleo–I only bring wolf spirits and a few snarling teeth to The Tribe. Sounds like spirits amd teeth fit a tribal group! LOL

I’m not staying for the turnover. I had a really long day and I’m tired. I’ll catch up with you all tomorrow. Goodnight Everyone! Peace and Love!!

snerk - I bring the desire to bare arms. snerk

Carmy - What?? You, you’re backing out because you are afraid that bmonk isn’t going to be around to cook breakfast, right?

Good Night

(((((((Carmy)))))))

Okay, so now I am alone here. What don’t any of you bozos know how to cook an easy meal like breakfast. Paging bmonk. Breakie time is getting near. YooHoo.

It’s only a few minutes you guys!!

Terry-My man, you have stuck around. Good man.

What do you mean alone. Did you kick me out of the kitchen?

I figure between the two of us, it’ll be a sufficient breakfast, Cleo! Since there are no other offers out there.

Isn’t it amazing how the tent can be full of people then one little task comes up and everyone runs for the hills. Typical, typical I say. How’s it hanging Terry?

I’m sure Bigg will be around to contribute also.

Not too shabby, Cleo. LOL

Yep, you and I will have it covered, unless the monkster shows up. Then I will bow to his kitchen reservation.

Man, I just realized what today’s date is!

That’s right. Bigg is a whiz in the kitchen.

well i’m still here as well.

for what ever that may be worth.

He holds his own, doesn’t he? And if he is not first he usually pitches in.

@Terry i noticed when i started doing the crossword puzzles, since they’re dated and i was playing catch up.

Yguy–It’s worth a lot, my friend!!

Oh gosh, I had completely forgotten. What a horrible memory. I still remember everything I did that morning and the people that I talked to. The first person who called was a very troubled friend of mine who had just moved to Canada. In just a few months he would commit suicide. That whole time period is so sad.

i still have the “universal” to catch up on, but i figure i may as well wait for turnover, now, and then make a night of it. i can watch Jeopardy tomorrow.

I always worry on these tense anniversaries that some lunatic is going to want to send a message.

I hear you Cleo.

cleo & Terry i work steady afternoons and don’t normally get up before 10 am. that morning my mother called me to get out of bed and watch CNN as “a plane had hit the world trade center.” at the time, it was thought to have been an accident - since it was the first. i stayed glued to the TV for hours as that dreadful day unfolded. later, some of my coworkers went to Buffalo to help out in a company warehouse near there so that their employees could go help out in NYC (i work for a medical supplies company). in many ways, i think it brought our two countries a bit closer together, even though the border isn’t as open as it used to be.
