Hello and good morning everyone.

Good Morning, ♠Lonewolf♠, Woodeye & Little Sister.

I think I’ll have the quicky egg sandwich with ham, sausage and bacon. After all its only virtual cholesterol & sat fats.

Good Morning, Grog, Woodeye & LW!

Welcome back, Woodeye!

That’s right Grog, but it is GOOOOOOOOOD STUUUUUUUFFFFFFFF!

All orders are up and waiting! Enjoy……

Good stuff Big Brother I hope you and all the sports fans enjoy the football games.

WOODEYE! Long time no see!

Morning LittleSister, Grog, great menu Lonewolf!!

Gimme just a big platter of potato cakes and a bucket of Doc’s coffee (an unobtainium bucket, of course)

Ladywolf - - Aren’t you going to watch any games?

Remember Big Brother I’m not LW anymore. She’s dead.

yes I am.

Dusty, Ginger was waaaaaaaaaaay too good for you, and her son was just the comeuppance you needed.

On my way to bed, Tribe!

Good Morning, Frankr & Johanan.

Your order is ready, Frankr.

Johanan, your CocoaMocha is there also.

G’nite Rakkav

Sleep well, Johanan

Lil Sister, I’ll always know you as LW.

:^)

Morning, Frankr

Gunite, all Enjoy the games.

Good Night, Grog.

I too, am calling it a night/morning.

Good Night Tribesters!

P&L

LONEWOLF I’ll take one of what WOODEYE is having and one Of what Little Sister* is enjoying (who was right about the comic.) Could I also have a heart pill and some insulin?

Morning TRIBE! It’s a beautiful day. My computer hasn’t malfunctioned YET.

Hi guys! sorry i missed yesterday– long story. I’ll have 2 cinnamon buns (the minis,) some sausage and a hot chocolate (NOT COCO-MOCHA.)

This comic makes me wish LuvH8 was here. XD heheheh.

Good Morning, Tribe!

Hello, Lewreader, Jarlyddie & LSU

Your orders are up. Enjoy!

Got to start getting ready for Church as James is singing in the choir today. Got to get some Nuclear Coffee, get the dogs out, get some more coffee, get ready, get some more coffee and then get a move on with the day!

Good Morning, Lewreader, EMET, jarlyddie & ♠Lonewolf♠!

EMET, in addition to the Cowboys, I’ll be cheering for the Panthers and Packers this week. I loathe the Cowboys divisional rivals almost as much as you loathe the Pack.

Good Morning, Doctor Toon

Good Morning, Grog & Doc

Bears, Steelers & the Cowboys for me. Used to be the Broncos too, but not with the new coach AND Orton!

I wonder if the Lions have improved any over last year. They play the hated Eagles next week.

They play Da Bears today, Grog.

I wonder how Kolb will do for the Eagles. I have him on two fantasy teams and I am not feeling easy about it.

Yup, I have the schedule right in front of me ♠Lonewolf♠. If the Panthers/Giants game heads south, I’ll probably tune in to that one.

Denver’s playing in Jacksonville this week, Doctor Toon. They’re usually tough at home.

I get the Lions/Bears at noon on one channel, the other noon game says TBA, Packers/ Eagles at 3 and the Boys/Redskins tonight. I love it!!!

Got to get to Church, Grog. I’ll catch y’all when I get back. James and I have all the fixin’s ready for the games.

♠Lonewolf♠, My locals don’t have anything oposite the the Texans game. Fortunately I have the Sunday Ticket, so that I don’t have to watch that game. I may be scarce at the twelve o’clock hour - at least until tonight.

Good morning, Tribe…

LW, I’ll just have the Nuclear Coffee. Just got up and not hungry yet. Stayed up real late stargazing. the sky was SOOOOOOO clear last night!

I used to be a staunch Bronco’s fan…..during John Elway’s tenure…….but they never got the spark after he left, did they?

Good Morning, MontanaLady

I used to like the Broncos, too. Then they changed their uniforms and shortly thereafter Elway retired. No more Orange Crush, no more Elway, no more Broncos.

Hello all very tired today though verily made it to church. We did get to State fair parked on main street close to firestation. Was a new minutes late, had to get situation with CR but was hopping. Day was odd. fire alarm went off several times, hubby noted sprinklers didn’t go off, computerized voice said leave building. Workers of building called in State Troupers determined ones cooking set alams off, so turned off A/C and it got very warm people and vendor’s sweated, then bro/n/law told a vendor lower mike down as vendor doing cooking dismostrations with pots could be heard all over building, customers complained, then different vendors thanked bro for telling them the offending vendor too loud. Left fair at 8pm. Tiring but fun. Made a few mistakes with money.

this is all so confusing, but i guess its cuz i dont like football.

≡≡ P O P ! ≡≡ ♪☼ Hello TRIBE! ☼♪

Hello to all those here!

I’ll hava a Rib Eye Steak and Eggs over medium with Hash Brown Cassarole .

Hello again won’t be on to long going out to eat to tired to cook. jarlyddie your not the only one I don’t like football either. Also are you a student? Me I’m maybe older then your parent’s since my two will soon be 25 and 28. I’m going back to Jr. college to study for Medical Encoding & Billing and if that fails Medical Transcription. I have books got online used one has been marked on and I found already from first two chapters to small mistakes. Medical has been written in. Lonewolf my son’s name happen’s be be James.

Hi Kab.

Back home, mowed the back yard and made it to the boob tube for the Bears kick-off! What timing!!

Good afternoon, Kab, MontanaLady, Sojo & Jarlyddie!

Kab, that’s cool with your son’s name being James also! :^)

Hi ♠Lonewolf♠ - What timing YES!

Hello everyone.

I’m watching my Broncos play the Jaguars.

I’m also keeping tabs on my Big Sisters team the Carolina Panthers as they play the NY Giants.

Hi, LS.

Hi Little Sister - I’m mainly watching Panthers/Giants but may watch some golf. Waiting for Green Bay to play.

Tried to hook up to ESPN 3 yesterday as it’s offered free to COX internet customers but found it won’t work over wireless networks with laptops. Will have to hard wire to router to watch it. It offers more foreign sports and I’m hopeing that might include rugby.

I have seen rugby. Now that is a dangerous game to play.

jarlyddie that’s cool if you don’t like football. As for myself, well I am raised in a family that loves the NFL, which includes us females - my aunts, grandmother, and cousins all love watching the games.

pop

Rugby players eat their dead.

Poof!

LOL! That was a good one RWB :-))

@Jarlyddie: I don’t like football too.

@ LittleSister: I love the new avatar!

I like your avatar as well Frankr :-)

Good to see you pop in RwB - LOL

Hi Frankr.

Hello I’m back for a little while. Lonewolf as our son’s name James he has his dad’s middle name (secret) it was his dad’s idea for that name as part of family tree. Me , no offense here, I would like a unique different name, but our son follows tradition. At least your son stays busy with sports. Gosh I’m so tired having trouble thinking and typing.

Little Sister your avator did you create that? Mean time had fun and I didn’t get to see much of fair. Soon as we got in started working. It will be worse last weekend or Sat. State fair ends next Sunday and bro-in-law”s brother and wife will be there for that. We have to be at our church next Sunday evening they want to change bi-laws so want members to hear propose plan then vote later.

I guess I’m gonna leave go for a little while. I need to work on medical book on terms. Class has starts in Oct and I don’t read fast this gives me time to absorb for others will be faster on reading.

Oh Frankr where did you get your avator?

Sister Kab I found it online while searching for something the other day.

Kab: I drew that picture, and I drew this one too.

Frankr such talent!!!!

Kab, I admire you for going back to school….!!

and, Lonewolf, neither of our son’s names is James. :)) (congrats on his winning)

Hi MontanaLady - Hope your having a great day!

Lightning causing game suspension. WAAAAAAAAA!

:-((

Hey! Am I allowed to pout?

Of course!

Pop

For a minute Lil Sis

Poof!

Little Sister! Aaaaugh!

What? They let a little thing like lightening stop them?

Ummm…. how is/was my game? It is not one of the games I could watch today.

) :

They Lost!!!!!!

Big Sister You don’t want to know right now.

Hi LuvH8 - Who were you for?

They are still playing.

Well I’m not happy either.

Yay! my game is back on, but boo! My team is trailing.

Well shoot!

Sojo, I cheer for the Panthers. They have cool uniform colors and of course Kitty is a panther.

LuvH8 - After seeing kitty I figured that was who you were for. Close to the end of the 3ed quarter the were only behind by 1, 16 to 17. But like Little Sister said, you don’t want to know the score now.

♠Lonewolf♠ must be happy! The Bears won!

How could the third quarter be Panthers 0 Ants 10??? They cheated!! One of the refs is married to someone’s sister!!!

I messed up my post but have fixed it. The game just finished and the Panthers lost. :-(

Good afternoon friends!

Yes, I’m in a good mood. Da Bears!

MontanaLady, that’s ok. Our daughters aren’t named James either! :^)

What a disappointing end.

My Broncos lost too!

Stupid quarterback!

  Aaaaaaugh!!! Rotten Wormy Apples!

(starts crying and sniffling)

Bad day for us Sisters.

That’s why we got rid of that quarterback, LS.

I don’t understand. You paid 25 cents for the game and now you want your quarter back??

Next week how about letting us women win? Hmmm! okay!

I will just have the chocolate cake and milk.

Poof!

I will just have me a chocolate fudge Sundae.

Ask and you shall receive! Afternoon orders welcome on Sundays.

Oh no! Next weeks going to be war as Grog’s team battles Lonewolf’s team.

Huff Puff pull, push, yank

Been busy this afternoon Tribe

*huff, puff push Push PUSH PUSH *

Stirring and tasting and smiling.

pant pant pant, humongous push brings a huge covered vat into the *BT*. Fortunately it is on wheels

Aaarrrgg. It’s heavy. But here it is, Tribe, homemade vanilla pudding, still warm, with assorted fruit sauces, chocolate sauce, butterscotch and caramel.

removes lid, waves a ladle and holds a bowl

Who’s first???

What will be left of the Big Top?

MMM! Yummy Yummy! Quaby :-)

Why thank you pretty lady what kind of sauce?

Thanks Quaby, I’ll have some of the vanilla pudding with butterscoth sauce, smells and looks great!

Hi tribe Oh Quaby, we have been at a 25th anniversary celebration this p.m. and I can’t have even a TASTE of your pudding at this time…I hope others will have some…Can you save me a bowl in the fridge?

OUR USA TEAM WON THE WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP IN BASKETBALL TODAY!! The Naismith Trophy comes back to US for first time in 16 years!! Cheer!

Hi Hopeandjoy2 - Thanks for the news.

I like all the sauces, but it’s been awhile since I had butterscotch so I’ll have that.

Hi, Sojo, Hopeandjoy2 & Quaby!

I saw that earlier, too, Hopeandjoy! WooHoo!

I forgot that Chicago & Dallas play each other next week.

Quaby thanks for vanilla pudding I won’t break out on that. Lets see is there some sorta of nuts I can add and strawberry’s. I know there are sauces.

I looked yesterday’ comments and for me and hubby neither of us smoke. Hubby’s brother been deceased smoke for 30+ years, he and wife where smoking when we where first married, Until about 5 years prior to death of lung cancer short term he had to quit. His wife quit soon after. My dad smoked until his first heart attache before 62 and he quit cold. Mom never did but gave him a hard time about his side always smoking. Sister and I never did. My kids don’t, my daughter thinks she’s allergic to people smoking, her guy doesn’t smoke.

Hear that Tribe! What ever damages happen to the Big Top next week, will not be my fault or my Big Sisters fault.

We are innocent, and have been innocent. It’s the NFL’s fault.

That almost sounds like a pre-alibi for something they might do.

What could we do that hasn’t already been done?

Oh never mind! I have an idea.

Happy Sunday, Tribe.

Kab I may be able to help if you have questions regarding ears. Not sure about other things though.

Saucy - Good to see you.

Oh hello Saucy1121

Be right back.

Good Afternoon, All! Especially: Little Sister, BBS, ♠Lonewolf♠, Quaby, The Sojourner, hopeandjoy2, & Kab Buch!

I hope someone told DocT where his Nuclear Coffee has gotten off to.

Hi bmonk - Good afternoon to you also.

Huff Puff

Sorry about that, had to visit that place which causes people to scream TMI while covering their ears and closing their eyes.

Little Sister & Sojourner Vanilla pudding with butterscotch in the window. Kab, found some strawberries for yours.

Thank you Quaby - Tastes great!

Good evening bmonk, Sojo, Kab, Little Sister, Luv, (dont want to say H8) Saucy..Good name, Doc Toon, Emet, Frankr, and all

LoneWolf it’s too late to ask for any service but if you still have some whole wheat toast around, point me to it and I’ll make some hot tea to go with it but will need some milk to slosh in the tea.

Hi Sojo, Kab, LuvH8, LilSis, Lonewolf, H&J2.

Yipee! Homemade vanilla pudding!! with butterscotch sauce. Forget those Sunday sundaes, I’ll have pudding!

THANKS QUABY!

Hi, Bmonk & Saucy!

Hi, Frankr

Hopeandjoy2, you’re more than welcome. There is plenty left for anyone who wants some!

Arrrgh! Must go soonest!

Bamf!

All right, Little Sister, no more pudding for you. i didn’t realize I had that much sugar in it!!

Somebody grab a net and catch her next time she falls from the ceiling!

It wasn’t the sugar, it was my curiosity…….Honest!

Jumping Rawhide!

Reminds me of whats going on at 2C&C.

Little Sister that’s great. Quaby thanks for strawberry’s I asked for. Not sure what I said about ears. Just copy & paste my comment. I admit I sleepy and tired. Remind me what I was asking about? I been busy with text book typing. Trying to gain ground before class time so if instructor say okay I’m fine otherwise trouble.

You mean about the cattle stampede………Oh this is much more worst. So How do I get rid of them?

If they keep filling up the Big Top, then there will be some real damage.

My two Sisters will be mad at me that I did this without their supervision.

Raise a side of the tent to let them out! The rest of the world wll have to deal with them.

Little Sister Quick, raise up the side of the Big Top and I will help you shoo them out under it!!

Sojo is there an echo in here???

Heavy sides heavy sides!

I was just suggesting. You and Little Sister can get them out!

SoJO, Grog, HELP

THERE! Shoo! you copycat little hellions

WOW! you guys are strong…..,.How did you raise the tent?

Good for you Little Sister

I think I was the echo although I didn’t know it at the time, SOJO Great minds etc???

elephants

*:’)

Thanks for Goku to the rescue - raising the tent side.

I will never mess with Calvins Transmogrifier box again. I promise you all that.

WOW We didn’t need elephants afterall!!

What a mess in here? At least there is no big damage.

Just a lot of shoe prints and left over cookies. oops and shoes too!!

Maybe hymenoxis will drop by?

Good Thought

HY…..HY….Where are you

At least it wasn’t a nuclear mess, just a bad science experiment that I miscalculated.

Green Bay Packers won! :-)

They did! I didn’t watch the game.

That stampede knocked over my pudding.

My fault! I’m sorry Frankr. :-(

Kab you were talking about learning medical terminology. I’m an audiologist, so can help with medical terms related to ears and hearing, but not sure about other parts of the body (at least below the neck).

Poor Hymenoxis, he’s gonna have another mess isn’t he?!

Well It is my fault so the mess is my responsibility to clean up.

good early evening Tribe time for catch up, again. nice to see visits from some of the other irregulars, like bmonk & saucy. makes me feel better about my own inconsistency. couple of notes on things i’ve been catching up on. DocT & bmonk posted same link to nuclear coffee vs. koolaid cartoon, but even my koolaid couldn’t compete with the nuclear coffee (which is why i switched). btw, FB app says my superpower should be super strength. Quaby if there’s any pudding left, i’d love some with raspberry sauce on it - though i’d also settle for caramel sauce. oh, and LuvH8, i was wondering if you knew what the clone’s complaint was. answer will be posted later on. time to tour toonville. lastly, thanks to celecca for the link to Dog Eat Doug earlier today. a funny installment of a strip i normally don’t read. apologies for the novella.

Hi yyyguy.

(Sweep! sweep!)

Watch where you all step. There is some broken plates on the floor.

Hi, Yguy! Good to see you sir.

Goku is still here. He’ll have it cleaned up in no time!!

Hi yyyguy! Who are you calling irregular???

I’m as regular as they come!

Doc You nuclear coffee migrate to my place occasionally. Makes life interesting.

POOF

(Sweep! Sweep! Scoop! Scoop!)

{Dumps broken plates into trash}

Hello yyyguy. :-)

Good Evening, Shika.

Nice to see you Shikamoo.

Hi Yyyguy glad you are back for a while. hi Shika Looks much better, Little Sister I should have helped you.

Good Evening, Tribeandall

Good to see you, yyyguy

Shika!!!

It’s been a really long time!

Little Sister, Obi Luv has taught you well. I think I feel the power of the dark side.

Hi Grog.

Good Evening, Grog.

Great first week of football!

I don’t need to ask what you are watching!!! LOL

♠Lonewolf♠, I knew about next week’s matchup already.

EMET, tought break, but I’m glad the Pack beat the hated Eagels for the first time since the early 60’s in the City of Brotherly Loathing.

Hello, Sojourner, & ♠Lonewolf♠

I hadn’t looked past the first week this year, Grog.

hello to Grog, Sojo, Lonewolf (glad you liked the pics of the Packard) hopeandjoy2, Li’lSis, LuvH8, & Shika. by irregular, i mean “other than every day,” that’s all. still touring. my ARRRRRRGH!os got beat again this week and have dropped to 3rd out of 4 teams in their division. at least my niece’s soccer team made the final (though they, too, lost).

♠Lonewolf♠, there are certain divisional rivalry games I’ve put in my calendar to ensure I don’t miss them

Grog, I’m the same way with the Bears usually, but other than setting up some fantasy teams, I haven’t had as much time to get my schedule set yet.

♠Lonewolf♠, my calendar is not limited to Cowboy games, but I also don’t like to miss Bears/Packers, Packers/Vikes and certain AFC rivalries.

Since it became all the rage in the 80’s I have not found anything appealing about fantasy football, baseball or hockey. I just like trying to pick the games.

Grog, I’m a nut about sports and statistics. Probably why I like fantasy football & baseball.

Well I’ve always been a team player and found stats unimportant as long as the team wins.

A player can be the best player on his team, or league and never make it to the big show.

Too bad Madden retired. I can’t stand Collinsworth.

Power of the dark side…..Cool! :-)

9:25 pm. time to leave again. but before i go, the answer to the question of what the clone’s complaint was.

I just want to be myself.

see you in the funnies.

(((Tribe)))

Hello Grog.

Grog, what I meant by being a statistical nut was that I have done statistics for two different companies. Working for them, I have to care about statistics.

Later, yyyguy

Yes I am watching the Cowboys and Redskins game.

I did Stats in University. I hated it.

Good Night, Yguy

Hello Darth Sister

“Hee hee!”

Bye yyyguy.

By the way, yyyguy, Dog Eat Doug is one of my favorite strips.

Little Sith Sister,

Why did I have to fight my way through a hoard of you to get into the tent? What have you been up to?

I was bad. I found Calvin’s Transmogrifier box and did an experiment, but it went wrong.

Like many of Calvin’s.

Well, that sucks. Couldn’t he just go to the ground?

What an ending to the first half!

Even a Hail Mary pass would have been less dangerous!

That was not a good “Choice”

I should of waited for you Big Sister to help me out, but my curiosity got the best of me.

Come on Cowboys Don’t you know that Wink and the Chicago Bears are watching you.

Good to see you Doctor Toon.

Good one, Grog! LOL

Hi Doc :-)

Saucy1121 back for a little bit, that would be cool then. I’ve been typing, told hubby keyboard a little rough he doesn’t noice much. I’ve about ready to wind up on chapter 2 working on suffixes and prefixes. How did you remember all medical terms?

Little Sister glad you had help with stampede. Curious was it photob you found on? Back to typing soon I will need to stop. Took sorta break told neighbor’s about our son’s car window and theft. (Just in case someone don’t know who during night didn’t jimmy window broke it on driver’s side stole sterio/radio out) neighbor’s noticed it wondered by window was down told them what happened.

Good evening, Doc.

Doc, I get my sports news from Fox Sports.com. My locals are Houston - oriented. If I want to know about my favorite teams/sports, forget about it.

Yes indeed Sister Kab. :-)

It is terrific, Little Sister I am so proud of you causing chaos and mayhem.

Big Sister I thought you would be mad at me and scold me for my carelessness.

They don’t look too energetic, LuvH8. I’d say they’re all tuckered out.

Saucy1121 do you remember if a disc came with your language of medicine? one is with this book. I know I have to wait for instrutor. Little Sister here I missed out on all the fun:( Well have a great day at class tomorrow and work.

Sorry folks. I’m gone. I ain’t going to be fun to talk to any more.

Oh come on Grog it’s only a game, Heck my team lost too and so did my Big Sisters, but were here.

Little Sister, Cowboys Redskins is not just a game!

It ain’t over till it’s over, Grog. Not even a FG!!

I know it’s an age old tradition, I watch it every year.

The ultimate rivalry and I still believe that the Cowboys can pull it out.

Please Grog don’t leave us.

Have a good evening Grog.

Is that better?

10-0 is still a game yet. I know you have more faith than that!

OOOH! Pretty firecracker.

I think that Grog left us…..I be sad now :-(

This one?

Well I be sad after I get through laughing at Big Sisters gif

Cowboys scored! :-)

I not be sad…….Grog come on back, The game’s only just begun.

I remember watching a game several years ago where a team was behind 3 to 21 with less than 2 min. left in the 1st half. They went into the locker room at halftime ahead having scored 3 touchdowns in less than 2 min.

That game sounds awesome Sojo.

It would of been interesting to hear what the lossing coach had to tell his team at haiftime!

Their back sides are padded? It is all false advertising?

I think they intercepted a pass and scored, recovered a fumble on kickoff and ran it in for a second score, then on the first play after the next kickoff recovered another fumble for a score. 3 touchdowns in a little over a min. of play!

So the score they show is for the whole game not the current quarter?

Yes, score is for whole game.

Yes, total game score or Yes, they wear pads on their bottoms? Maybe they wear diapers in case they have an accident?

I’m still watching, but I am getting somewhat bored of the game…….I almost fell asleep

Is dropping the ball a bad thing?

That depends on which team drops the ball and which team your for! :-)

Is it against the rules to douse yourself in something stinky, like Eww De Skunk, so that no one wants to tackle you?

I was thinking. (SCARY!!!) In nude football, instead of wearing the same socks or underwear all season, they could not bath all season!

Big Sister, nobody would want to see that. Not even me.

Bouncy! Bouncy! I want to see it!    

Mendasock!

(Uncontrollable giggling)

Crucial moments now with 11 seconds left.

3 seconds./

Stupid flag!

Sorry Grog

Time for my zzzzzz’s. Have a good turnover!

♪☼ P&L ☼♪ ≡≡ POOF! ≡≡

G’Night Sojo

Break time.

I’m getting ready to good night to. wow text is pretty technical. Both sisters I have family when growing up that where and still is major football fans. Us three in our family it didn’t rub off on us. Since my sister been married her hubby likes football espically KCC. I have to endure cause my mom doesn’t really have a room I can read in quitely. Good night all need to see if I can sleep.

Good Night Sister Kab

I hope all this studying ahead of time pays off. Since there is so much technical language maybe flashcards might help? Then you could go through them, put aside the ones you got right then study the wrong ones go through them and repeat a few more times??? I don’t know. Just an idea, index cards aren’t that expensive, especially at dollar store.
