Good Morning Tribeandall!

Nice breakfast spread, Ladywolf.

Hey you got to give credit also to my Big Sister. I do not want her feelings hurt you know.

Good Morning, Marg!

I would never try to hurt her feelings before or after you said that. :^)

Thank you Little Sister I am glad you got a chance to post it. My computer kicked me off just as my last post yesterday was posted.

Good Evening and Good Morning Everyone!

Hello Little Sister & Lonewolf

Wow!

That did turn out impressive Little Sister. Grab a can of whipped cream so we can spray Lonewolf.

Thanks for breakfast Ladywolf and LuvH8 I’d love some Belgium Waffles with maple syrup and of course, Nuclear coffee. Hi Terry and the rest of the Tribe

Hello Dawn! :^)

Here you go Dawn. And would you like a strawberry cream pie to toss at Lonewolf? (it’s pink inside ~ giggles)

Hello, LuvH8.

(shakes can and sprays whipped cream all over Lonewolf)

Hi Lonewolf!

(Runs Away!)

Phew! I’m back.

MMM! Lonewolf you look delicious.

What did I do to deserve this “attention”? I thought I was being fairly nice!

Ah! Lonewolf you know we like you. We’re just playing happily, and today is a day of celebration.

(Darts in, grabs a coconut cream pie off the table.)

Umm…. Lonewolf ……… you are the only guy here. That makes you the target.

(tosses pie at Lonewolf, misses, hits LIttle Sister in the back of the head)

Oooops!!! (starts giggling)

Ummmmmmmmmm., not the worst situation I have been in. I guess someone has to do it, huh?!

MMM! Yummy! this is a great way to celebrate……Who wants some pie?

We should put whip cream in Grogs hand, tickle his nose with a feather and watch as he smears his face with the whip cream.

All this while he is sleeping.

Key Lime Lonewolf? Here you go. (Tosses pie and this time hits Lonewolf in the left shoulder)

Well! I guess I better go shower, wash my hair and go to bed.

See you all later.

Good night! :-)

What happened to you at the other spot, LuvH8.

I know let’s shake up all the Pepsi and Mountain Dew sodas! Then we will use cartoon physics to make them shoot pop out when they are opened in the morning!

Good Night, Ladywolf.

Oh, doesn’t Grog look cute covered in whipped cream with his little ………. OH MY GOSH!!! Grog sleeps with a pink stuffed bunny rabbit!

Good Night Little Sister! Rest Peacefully

I, too am going to hit the horizontal position. Got a doctor appointment in the AM and I prefer to be awake when I’m there.

Good Night LuvH8 & All

P&L

Good Morning, Lereader, Johanan & Rac!

Good Night Lonewolf

Good Morning Lewreader, Johanan, Rac, Doc, Grog, Lonewolf, Lurkers & Everyone!

Good morning - or perhaps I should say, good night everyone!

Wink, even for a bear there’s such a thing as biting off more than one can chew. This could get very interesting.

Dang! Dang! Dang! With LONEWOLF going back to bed, I thought I was going to be the only male among you lovely ladies. Then JOHANAN had to wake up. If it were raining soup, I;d be standing there with a fork.

How come I have to be on the first day of my diet when LADYWOLF makes such an enticing menu? God hates me! Move over JOB, There’s a new loser in town. I don’t have to go on a diet, but someone in my two person household left a Big and Tall catalogue on the coffee table.

Good Morning TRIBE! I will walk the narrow path of righteousness, or the righteous path of narrowness. I think I’ll walk to Duncan Donuts.

Ping!

Did someone say PIE?

Good Morning Tribe!

The drawbacks are directly proportional to the number of bathrooms, *Doc.

Doc Have you tried Easy to Do Crossword books? That one covered me for a while.

Good Morning Rac, I have a pie right here for you. Chocolate cream? Here catch!

(tosses pie and hits Rac in the left thigh)

I really need to work on my aim.

Good Morning Doc T

Can I get you anything from the breakfast menu?

They just don’t understand, Doc

Perhaps Doc you can find a restaurant, and take your book there to read in their rest room? Hmmm……….. I wonder if many people do that? You might want to try fast food so they don’t think you ran out without paying your bill.

Great Luv Now I have to work with no pants ‘til they dry. Good thing theres a lock on the door and most of my stuff is on the ‘few’ computers I have in here.

I didn’t realize how drafty this room is…..

Now guys everywhere will start to go into restaurants with their books. They will go directly to the restrooms. Stay there for an hour or two, then leave.

Guten morgen alle. Es ist Graduierungstag für meine Stieftochter. Hooray für sie und die ganze Klasse von 2010.

Good morning all. It’s Graduation Day for my step-daughter. Hooray for her and the whole class of 2010.

Doc, that’s what disinfectant sprays or wipes are for. You can even bring your own gloves. (No, of course a guy would not think of cleaning the throne for himself.)

Too long… After about 20 minutes your legs and feet fall asleep.

Says the lady with the bag that’ll hold all that stuff, Luv

I swear theres a worm hole in women’s purses that connects to a storage room and kitchenette. Hungry? Eat this 4 course dinner.

Good Morning MisngNOLA Congratulations to your Step-Daughter!

Good Morning, Ladywolf, ♠Lonewolf♠, LuvH8, Dawn, Johanan, Lewreader, Doctor Toon, Rac0308, MisngNOLA and anyone else who sneaks in under my post!

Nice breakfast, LuvH8 & Ladywolf. I’ll have 2 eggs, cloudy side up with sausage and an order of hot buttered toast please.

Ditto, MisngNOLA. Since I’m a relative newbie, I’ll assume HS?

briefcase?

(whistles) Nice legs Rac.

Good Morning Grog!

Here’s your breakfast. I even brought you a nice cold Pepsi. (backs out of spraying range)

Hey, Luv stop peekin!

Morning GroG!

Doc if it is only to read…… wouldn’t the couch be more comfortable? I thought you might be using the toilet for potty things.

Watch out for the flying food, Grog.

Gotta reboot. MS critical security update last night.

Everybody get theirs????

(follows her to far corner of room & prepares to open can)

POP

(Pepsi all over the place: On LuvH8, Grog the walls ceiling, furniture and everything!)

No rac, I didn’t see any critical updates when I logged off last night and that was about 11PM CT.

Well Mendasock!

Grog, did you sleep well last night? (giggles)

Doc we made this French Vanilla Custard pie just for you. You wouldn’t want to hurt our feelings would you? Here you go.

(tosses pie, smack right in the center of the chest)

Here’s some whipped cream to go with it. Hmmm….. you remind me of Santa Claus.

Hey Doc, watch it with the HO HO HO!

If I try to sit on your lap and tell you what I want for Christmas, WildCheetah might scratch me.

Fantastic breakfast, Sisters! Whipped cream, hummm? This could get to be quite interesting!

Oh, I forgot! I was so distracted by the breakfast, I forgot to say…

Good morning, tribe!

Good Morning Rmom!

I remembered your Mountain Dew! Here you go.

DAAHH STRIP! As Risitas would say!

I rather like “Prince of Prance”!

Good morning Rmom, rac, NOLA, Fellow Baby, doc, Johanan, Lew and Dawn!

Good Morning, Tribe!

Good Morning, MisngNOLA. Congratulations to your Step-Daughter!

Good Morning Lonewolf!

I’m saving a pie for you for after you get back.

Good Morning, Fellow Baby!

Good Morning Doc & LuvH8.

Thanks, Luv! Do I need to be careful when I open it? Hi, Doc, Dry & Terry!

I’m getting ready to go to my doctors appointment.

I got a call from my Godmother. Her husband passed away. My mother’s cousin actually. I figured him and my Godmother would be around for ever. They have been married for 43 years. He was such a nice man. You just never know.

Good Morning, Rmom.

Rmom, of course it is okay to open.

(walks over to the other side of the tent)

I’ll catch you all when I get back.

Have a great day all!

P&L

I’m sorry about your Godmother’s husband Lonewolf.

Good Luck at the doctor’s.

I’m sorry too, Terry! I’ve known several people who have died quickly, and it is always somewhat of a shock. I hope you get some good news at the doctor’s!

Good Morning, Rmom

My condolences, also, ♠Lonewolf♠

Have A Good Day Everyone

Rmom Please feel free to use as much whipped cream as you want. We have more.

Poof!

HI, Grog!

Fellow Baby Given last night’s movie topics, check out today’s Bliss!

Lew - You need to go back & read Baldo. I think you might have given someone an idea…

Good Morning All. With Wink it would be more like Ants In Pants.

Good Morning Doc. Has anybody else found gocomics very slow when you refresh a page. For the past few days it has been very slow for me, but no other website is.

Hi, Cleo!

Mine’s going slower too.

Hey Cleo!

That’s how we are getting multiple posts of the same comment. My trigger finger gets impatient and if I think it didn’t take, I hit post comment again, then it posts 2 second, third or even 4th time,

Thanks Doc, Rmom & Dry. Yes I notice the slow comment acceptance as well.

Good Night, Doc

Rest well, Doc!

Hi, Grog! I see your favorite character showed up at B.C. today!

Sleep well Doc.

nite doc.

Hi, Rmom. Yeah, but the strip was a bit of a let-down. Usually, they are funnier than that when he’s in.

So sorry, Terry,

Congrats to the step-daughter Msing.

I need to learn to like Doc’s coffee. I could use the superpowers.

True, Grog. Maybe this is just a warm-up for tomorrow? (We can hope!)

Hi, Saucy! I feel the same way about Doc’s coffee. Can’t stand the flavor of coffee, even coffee-flavored candy. I wonder if I could get a wee bit of superpowers if I sniff his coffee? (I do like the smell of coffee.)

Morning, Saucy

I need a good jolt of something - I can’t stop yawning.

good early afternoon Tribe. sadly, i have no time for chat (or food fights sisters) but had to say hello while i read two days of comics so i wouldn’t get too far behind. World Cup Soccer will be taking up a bit of my time over the next little while, so, if my presence is absent (so to speak), it won’t be anything worrying, just a lack of time. i do hope to drop in regularly, though. i miss you all when i don’t.

(((Tribe)))

Ping! !@@#@$#$$@$$!@!!!!!! cable company…. 45 minutes and seven actual people later I got the guy who said sure… no problem… is the picture on now? sure enough there it was. Only 23 boxes left to go. I not going to be here for the rest of the day, guys. I’m definitely too cranky and no fun. Stay Safe Everyone Condolences Lonewolf

POOF!

Have fun, yyyguy!

See you later, yyyguy & rac!

…oh…my….lord….

(looks around, sighs)

Don’t tell me. Food fight, right?

Just a little one, Hy. It’s a good thing everyone didn’t get in on the act.

Thanks for the tip, Fellowbaby. I saw it.

I suppose I’ll have to start with the ceiling…

(fires up power washer)

Maybe this all started with my comment yesterday about seeing the Thanksgiving episode on Cheers. Now there was a mess to clean up!

My favorite is the fight in “Blazing Saddles”. The cowboy gets hit, slides down the cafeteria tray rail to the cashier, who begins ringing up the stuff in his hair, on his shirt, etc.

(spray, spray)

Yeah that was good, but I thought the food fight in Animal House was classic.

I seem to recall a pretty good one in the series “M.A.S.H.” as well.

(scrape, squeegie)

The movie? Or the TV show?

A EMET!

Long time no see!

Grog…the series. Was there a food fight in the movie?

Long time no SEE your HALAK

(shampoos carpet)

Hello Hy, Grog & EMET

Umm……… yes, it is all Grog’s doing with the food fight.

(No need to admit ~ I have no idea what he is talking about with the Cheers thing, never saw or don’t recall that episode)

LuvH8, I don’t recall throwing the pie at Doc, (not that I’m pointing fingers), but that was the very last scene when Vera (Norm’s wife) comes to the Thanksgiving dinner and gets splattered by Diane. I think you took that idea and ran with it…all the way to Doc.

All we need now is for Jor-El to pop in.

EMET I was just asking after you this morning at “In the Bleachers”!

Howdy Hy!

Good afternoon, everyone!

Back from the “place”.

Hello, EMET

A

InNoCenT BY rEAsoN oF iNSaNITy

Well put!

Hello, ♠Lonewolf♠. Are you done for the day?

Ping! Home now maybe I can get thru some toons.

Afternoon ((((TRIBE!))))

Greetings TRIBE

Was there a food fight here? Rats, I missed all the fun.

[picks up 2 pies and flings them at anyone near. Runs out before Hymenoxis sees who it is]

LuvH8 could I have a slice of chocolate pie, please?

Hello Grog. I’m done with the appointment but I just had someone drop a car off for a water pump & belt tensioner replacement. About 4 hours worth, so I’ll be off for a while. Catch you all later!

Thanks to all for the well wishes. I really appreciate it. You’re all some truly fantastic people and I’m glad to be friends with you!

See now I am glad that my server booted me. Grog & Rac you look lovely in yellow and is that yes, blue. What kind of pie is that you are wearing Grog?

Too bad I didn’t see who flung them at you two. I would have congratulated her on her aim.

Rac here you go a slice of chocolate pie on a plate with whipped cream. (hands plate nicely to Rac)

Oh! I’m going to have some of this chocolate mousse!

Yummy!

My work here is done. See you all in the not too early AM.

(GROG has left the Big Top!)

Thank You, Luv

BTW, you spelled moose wrong

I, too, must shuffle along. Maybe pick it up again at home…

Pflumph.

Sure Grog, leave without telling us what flavor a blue cream pie is!

Good Night Grog & Hy

Good Afternooon, Tribe!

(ducks flying pies)

LuvH8 said, about 9 base canards ago

Now guys everywhere will start to go into restaurants with their books. They will go directly to the restrooms. Stay there for an hour or two, then leave.

That’s not true! I never read in restaurant restrooms.

However, I have been known to go to Chinese restaurants so I can read with my book in my left hand, and the chopsticks in my right.

Bmonk!!!

(Runs up to Bmonk, gives him a hug and sprays whipped cream down the back of his robes(?), then runs off to get a Cherry Pepsi)

How are you doing Bmonk?

(opens soda, gets showered in Cherry Pepsi)

Mendasock! I forgot!

I’m trying to track down the grandaddy of film food fights–B&W, Laurel & Hardy or Keystone Kops era film. No luck yet.

Sorry–you didn’t get it down the back of the robe. You did manage to fill the hood, though…

[Lobs back a whipped cream pie] [1.6 seconds later follows with another waist high for when she ducks]

And there’s always this food fight

Mendasock! I wasted a perfectly good hug!

Hey! You got…………. (grabs another soda, points it at Bmonk and opens it)

Hy’s gonna be mad when he comes back and sees this mess you guys…

(Smack! Strawberry cream pie right on Rac’s head)

(Lobs blackberry pie with ice cream at Bmonk)

Yes! Finally I got him!

Who, me?

[mop, mop]

Three Stooges Pie Fight

[wash wash]

@LuvH8, good try, but the one I remember would have been even earlier. And it was at the end of a film.

YUMMY! More PIE!!!

[mop mop]

Laurel & Hardy ~ Hollywood Party

Laurel & Hardy ~ Cake Slam

I’ll probably try to watch them later either way. It takes me about 30 minutes per minute of download time (Blows Raspberry!)

: ) Bmonk, you are really good at mopping.

G’Night all Time to finish laundry and go to bed. gotta get up early tomorrow.

((((TRIBE)))) POOF!

Good Night Rac

Catches raspberry for raspberries and cream!

Hello Bmonk & LuvH8! How’s y’all doing this fine late afternoon?

[nom nom]

[yum yum]

Oh, that sounds good Bmonk. Ummm…….. I didn’t mean it was wasting a hug to give you one. It is just that I don’t hug people that often.

I’m doing fine. Got a hug from LuvH8, even if it did get sloppy (I hate whipped cream, even when it’s not filling my hood), and some raspberries and cream. Want some?

[holds a new bowl out]

Lonewolf! Here is the pie I saved you! (hands chocolate pie nicely to Lonewolf so as not to make a mess on the newly cleaned floor)

Sounds good, Bmonk. lol

PING!

HERE’S A SPOON EVERYONE! DIG IN!!

VERY belated congratulations to MissingNOLA and her stepdaughter! :)

How’s that for a different avatar? It’s worth going to my profile for a closer look. Emil Pearson drew that picture in the sand to illustrate to some Southwestern Africans he lived among (who passed on much of their lore in association with similar drawings in the sand) “the spirit or genius of the European”. It was published in his book People of the Aurora. The Africans were awed to silence when they saw it; finally one of them said, “that IS the spirit of the European.”

I hope you like it as much as I do, because it’s only sticking around for a few days!

I love food fights. I’m wearing my plastic poncho just to be safe though.

(flicks jello in general direction of bmonk)

Nothing like fresh-picked raspberries with cream!

Hate to eat and run, but you know my modus operandus by now!

PONG!!

He he he–I wonder when Shika will find those eggs? Probably only when sitting down…

Doc ~ (holds nose) Here have some orange juice. It will help.

Hi, DocT! Good nap?

Reminds me of the definition of a monk:

Someone who rises at 4:30. Twice a day.

Hello Johanan It is a neat image, the spirit looks a little trapped though (at least to me)

Hello Doc

Bye, all! Must go!

Bamf!

Hi & Bye Shika

Bye Bmonk

So Doc any plans for before work?

Hello all, day 42 million and counting in cloudy gray days.

Hello Cleo, You are counting? That’s not good.

Doc ~ They don’t take crushed cans here anymore. The gloom and the cold I seem to have are not helping with my motivation

A Little Bit

Okay, Bye For Now!

Doc, any sign of the sun helps. Today is supposed to be the last day for awhile of clouds, but I will believe it when I see it.

My condolences, Terry, and congrats to the step-daughter Msing. A very loooong time ago I was asked by Ladywolf or LuvH8 if i wanted a raspberry and whipped cream pie to throw at Terry. To throw? Nope. To eat? Oh yes, please. What a waste - throwing pies!!! Especially when they are tasty.

(Licking whipped cream off lips)

HY. Thanks for the clean-up.

Oh mendasock - how did I get those italics without massive text - well - you get the picture. Now I remember - one asterisk not one pound sign.

Hi DocT thought you had gone beddy bye?

BTW my refresh rate seems OK.

I’m just thinking of getting dinner going. If you have time, you could pop by here to do a few chores:>) Wildcheetah (and family) is lucky to have you.

Well, it sounds like you suit each other and are lucky to have found each other. Best go now. Cya

Terrry my condolences as well. Take care.

Hello TRIBE

Wait a second! Big Sister and I are innocent, i tell you….

INNOCENT!

”Hee, hee!” Hi Doc T. ;-)

So Where is everyone?……..Eating dinner or watching their shows I bet.

Lonewolf you have my sympathies.

Honest Dawn it wasn’t us, it was………..The Aliens! Yes the Aliens came down and made duplicate clones of Big Sister and myself. We’ve been hunting them down ever since. :-)

*Doc, guess you “ain’t as old as you look”! LOL! How about this one?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kuq7RYQ8Wa0

Somehow DocT I actually understood that. :-)

Doc or this one

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yVmFyTSZEqk

Doc Old, did I say old? Maybe I should have said “mature”! Hey, music keeps you young and I love those two songs, and so many more out there today!!! And those kind of fit for you and wildcheetah, don’t ya’ think?

Thank you Doc & Dry for the music.

See you later Doc T.

Cleo you are welcome, my dear friend!

Here is a little something that I will add to the mix.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NW08Rc802MQ#

Dry and Cleo, try this one, Summertime.

If anyone has some sunshine they could share, please send it this way. We have had little but rain, wind, rain, and heavy clouds for days. Did I mention RAIN? The ducks and geese are happy about it anyway. I wonder if I mentioned the RAIN

serena, take as much as you want from FL. It’s been really sunny here (and hot!).

Well I have dark clouds……Finally!

But! Still no sign of rain………. And I really want it to rain.

Hello serenasakitty. How have you been?

I am leaving to watch a movie but I leave you with this.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xhGnuHuD5Fc&feature=related#

Where is the light switch at? It is very dark in here.

I was down at the lake and I saw a catfish.

Did It catch anything?

Well did it?

Hi Big Sister.

Hello Little Sister

I hope this doesn’t mean we are making breakfast again.

Where have all the Yappy nuts gone?

Maybe we should go on a breakfast strike.

I get home log on at 6pm and find this place empty for the most part.

THIS SUCKS ON EVERY LEVEL THAT THERE IS.

I’m not sure, Lonewolf had pool.Grog tries to go to bed earlier on Thursdays. ….. I have never been a yappy nut.

I may be a nut, but I am not yappy!

I’m not that much of a yappy nut either.

I’m sorry I crashed and just recently woke up. Yucky cold!

That’s okay I have been over at Pibgorn mostly.

Oh, I found I just couldn’t keep up with both strips. So I just do the occassional drive~by over there now.

Oh wait! HOLY BLEEP! (Sorry bmonk) I SURE HAVE A LOT OF COMMENTS RACKED UP.

9588 comments and counting. As of right now.

It’s hard even for me because they over at Pibgorn talk about things that I don’t even know about so I can’t contribute and sometimes feel stupid.

I also went for a walk.

That reminds me don’t get in a food fight with Bmonk. I think he has God on his side.

Then who is on our side?

That’s one of my problems at Pibgorn also.

Ummm……….. Who is on our side? Let’s see ………

Good evening Triibeandall!

Maybe he is on our side also?

Lonewolf! We missed you.

Hi, LuvH8! How are you dear?

Yes! That must be it! Fools and Children!

(I suppose we should stop this, even though technically we are not talking about religion. Some people don’t really care about technicalities.)

Big Sister I hope so.

Lonewolf!

What’s for breakfast?

How was pool?
