How about Mister Pibb?
I hear it's a sub-substitute for Dr. Pepper

I choose strawberry, banana & orange juice in a cocktail glass with a cherry or citrus slice on the rim to make it look fancy.
In this weather it is so refreshing!

*Peeks in*

RUNS AWAY!!!!!!

You people are.....weird! And Bored! Yeah, REAL bored!

I am NOT that bored so behave! Don't make me delete you all!

One way you can do it if you have 2 accouns and one is in the pit. Just push "home" and see if their gag points are doubled.

YIKES ~ Mother Jabberblabber is back!

I'm running away too Lady Z and hiding, especially because I know these crazy bored people. Gonna start looking at them funny when in a factory together at silos thinking about invasions. ooof!

Then you had better be able to remember if there is or isn't an invasion .

I had to laugh when I read this thread. I've kept a pad of paper next to my computer for doing this for a while now where I write 'on', 'off', 'on', 'off',...to keep track.

But when I have lost track, I have been known to log in a 3rd computer and drop a toon into the district (when it's early in the AM and there is room.)

I let Rachel do the remembering.

Oh well, since you asked, I'll tell you what's next, although I really didn't want this to get out.

You see, I hate giving too much personal information, but here goes:

I moved to the wedding band method after the "bill of the hat method", you see, I would put the band on my left hand for invasion and move it to the right for no invasion, it was working fine until I dropped my wedding band into my spit-cup (didn't have an empty Dr. Pepper bottle, and the store was out of Mister Pibb, so I was using an old plastic University of Alabama cup), well, I wasn't about to dig into that cup to get the ring out, so I decided to pour it's contents into the sink and then turn on the water to clean the ring, alas, I poured it into the wrong side of the sink and the ring went straight into the trash disposal unit. Ok, no problem, I'd just dig it out, but, being the safety-minded person I am, I went out to the utility room to flip the breaker first. Alas, my daughter was unaware of my ring sitting in the disposal and came by while I was away and dumped her cheerios into the sink and flipped the switch. SO, I lost my wedding ring, and now Rochelle is on my back because *I* don't care enough to wear my ring.

Crab E. Dawg :

Now I am SURE you would not wish everyone with a computer to see this! A wild band of 11 year olds. To bad you did not have that spit cup to throw at them. During this "Hat bill" time do you turn it to the back when you forgot about the invasion? Dear me! 3x5 index cards, moniter writings with a sharpe, Dr. Pepper and spit cups, wild band of airport gangs....what's next?

You people are weird!


The easiest way to find out is look at your list and ask someone that is also in that district.

Yes, I can see it now. I'm in the mint with my two toons and Crazy O's two toons. His daughter has come in and taken his third toon out of the invasion district to play trolley games or some such. We just had to use tu which caused the bubbles over our heads to disappear. Rochelle just passed through the room and with a quick hug J's hat falls to the floor. He reaches for the Dr. Pepper but it's the wrong cup and he spits it at the screen (which may help to remove the sharpie, have you tried that? But I digress....). In an attempt to prevent further screen damage from the Dr. Pepper / chewing spit, the 3x5 cards are pushed aside and all mixed up - perhaps even chewed to bits by the handsome real Quigley. Oh no!! We are in trouble. In the words of Crab E Dawg, What's Next?!

My 100% tried and true tip is this: bring up my friends list and ask Keith. He will either tell you whether the invasion is on or off, or the invasion will end / begin just as you ask him! It's actually never failed me yet!

Edited to add: Rochelle was not actually hugging him when the hat came off. She removed it to whack him thoroughly with it because HE doesn't care enough to wear his wedding ring and not only that, he is sitting there on his bum in front of the computer rather than being at the jewelers getting a new one, which would be a poor substitute for the real thing to be sure but at least would be a GESTURE!!
