KOEB Meeting

[Patsy Stone]

Sorry, I'm late

:loveya::loveya::loveya::loveya::loveya::loveya:

[Sydnie]

1. I was wondering where everybody was!

Hi all! :loveya: Keef

[Patsy Stone]

3. I'm sleepy!

And I didn't even have time to check out the outfit. Also, I shall not be nudged this evening. It is good.

:hi:

[Sydnie]

6. I refuse to be nudged tonight too

Just had the computer guy here -- fixed the kids computers -- they should be entertained for at least an hour tonight. LOL

[Patsy Stone]

70. You're a smart lady. :) n/t

[bunny planet]

2. Hola ladies

See you during the commercial!!!!!!

[Patsy Stone]

4. Crispini! Striped tie, baby! n/t

[Sydnie]

9. You like that tie? I don't -- loved last night though n/t

[Patsy Stone]

23. Our dear crispini is quite fond of the striped tie. :) n/t

[bunny planet]

30. last night's suit, tie, and shirt was the zenith of KO wardrobe perfection

tonight......ahh, not so much!!

[seito]

5. Feels good to be home with the KOEB

I have been on a plane all day :puke:

on edit: Forgot these :loveya: :loveya: :loveya:

[Sydnie]

7. Welcome home seito! n/t

[seito]

21. Thanks

Let me tell you about homeland security. My 75 year old mother did not slip a thing past those troopers. I have never seen a more thorough search in my life.

I feel safe :eyes:

[bunny planet]

33. they felt up your mom!!!?

[seito]

80. OMG YES!!!!!!

I thought they were going to do a strip search.

[Patsy Stone]

116. She must look dangerous... :) n/t

[bunny planet]

127. that is so wrong in countless ways.

[Sydnie]

36. did they check her dentures too?

Before long, we will have to pass through a machine just like in the movie Total Recall. But British Airways obviously isn't as swift since they had to return a plane yesterday.

[seito]

85. Thankfully she still has her real teeth

Two artificial knees are apparently more than the TSA is equipped to handle.

[Patsy Stone]

8. Wow

Welcome home! I answered you in the "I Believe" thread. You are a little stinker, you know? :)

[Shopaholic]

10. Shopaholic now in the house

and in front of her TV and newly repaired laptop watching KO.

Standup tonight right form the getgo.

[Patsy Stone]

15. Yes!

Gold Star! Welcome, and he looks quite nice.

[seito]

13. I saw

:evilgrin:

[Patsy Stone]

11. Wardrobe Check!

Black pinstriped suit, light blue shirt and black and silvery striped tie.

Nice, but I'm not sure the suit and the tie aren't arguing with each other.

:loveya::loveya::loveya::loveya::loveya::loveya::loveya::loveya:

[Shopaholic]

14. Nah--it's okay--

not until they go in for closeups can you really tell that the suit is striped too.

[Patsy Stone]

18. I have a really big TV

And I can tell. Still, got no problem with it.

:loveya:

[Catchawave]

19. The tie matches his hair :)

I love when he stands up :loveya:

[bunny planet]

141. Yes, they were argueing with each other, that was my first thought.

[Patsy Stone]

144. Too much

Almost John McLaughlin or Tony Blankley loud. "Get me Wardrobe!" :)

[Catchawave]

12. Keefie lookin' fine TO-night

:loveya: :loveya: :loveya:

[Shopaholic]

17. Going on to the FBI

computer story now-how they blew 170M on the new computer system that won't work.

[troubleinwinter]

16. I'm in. OMG that pic!

[Patsy Stone]

20. Here's looking at you... LOL Hi! n/t

[Shopaholic]

22. Yeah--make Rod Paige cough up those records

and let the FCC probe ole' Armstrong.

[Nothing Without Hope]

24. Two days - now it's a tradition: start KOEB meeting with that Pic!

Thanks, Patsy -- that and the FH's really get us in the right mood!
:loveya: :loveya: :loveya: :loveya: :loveya:

[Patsy Stone]

26. No, it's the picture that does it. :) Hi! n/t

[Patsy Stone]

25. It's the wrong thing to do! When did that ever stop anything?

My favorite Casablanca quote right there! "I am shocked, shocked to find there is gambling going on in here." "Your winnings, sir." Classic.

"Manchurian commentators." Oh, LOL, nice. :loveya::loveya::loveya::loveya::loveya:

[bunny planet]

39. yes, manchurian commentators a highlight remark so far.........

[Patsy Stone]

43. Yes, it's a very slow

night for "snarky."

I am so tired I can't keep my eyes open, but I feel I have a duty to perform. Soon, I will just fall asleep right here on the keyboard. I think I'm gonna be in bed by 9:30 p.m.

Hi! :hi:

I posted above that I think the suit and tie are yelling at each other.

But on account, and for the "Manchurian Commentators" comment:
:loveya::loveya::loveya::loveya::loveya::loveya:

[DemReadingDU]

27. Hi Ladies!

Who is this John Harwood - now that was a lavendar shirt!

For Keith:loveya:

[Patsy Stone]

29. WSJ guy. He has his moments. Hi! :) n/t

[Sydnie]

28. Armstrong might be *'s Paula Jones

The first but not the only and not the biggest news maker. Let's hope they look and find a real big smoking gun to impeach him with.

[Patsy Stone]

32. I hope many more follow.

Williams told USA Today that there are others. Let's find them, now!

Keef: :loveya::loveya::loveya::loveya::loveya::loveya:

[Nothing Without Hope]

38. I STILL say that the 9/11 attacks will be the cartel's downfall

if the investigations can get at enough of the truth.

[troubleinwinter]

31. Wassup with that guy Haywood? He didn't add a damned thing at all.

[shraby]

34. Prolly doesn't know any more than

what is in the news about it.

[Patsy Stone]

37. Everyone justs reports what comes over the AP Wire

anyway these days. It's sad. That's why we love KO: :loveya::loveya::loveya::loveya:

[Patsy Stone]

35. That's his job.

He's from the WSJ. Eh, not so much...

:loveya::loveya::loveya:

[seito]

40. Wow

What a heart-warming story :cry:

[DemReadingDU]

41. The tumor named Frank, n/t

and creative, in a weird sort of way

[Pirate Smile]

56. I missed the story but I saw the one on Frank the tumor the other day.

Did the auction end or was there new news?

I'll add some hearts for Keef too.

:loveya: :loveya: :loveya:

I always have a ton of interruptions at this time. All these children keep wanting things or getting hurt.
:hi:

[Catchawave]

44. No family should have to beg for money to save their child's

life! Wish the Bushies would get on a national health care program instead of all the stooopid stuff...grrrrr

[Nothing Without Hope]

54. Well, if Halliburton ran a health insurance company, they would n/t

[Patsy Stone]

47. Apparently

you aren't the only one to think so. They said they've received the most email ever in the history of "COUNTDOWN" about "Frank."

Are we being outdone? :)

[crispini]

118. More than US?

Wow, that's quite a feat.

But did the email include ample helpings of :tinfoilhat: and :loveya:?

[Patsy Stone]

120. Probably not

so they must have been really boring! Ha! :loveya::loveya::loveya::loveya::loveya::loveya:

[bunny planet]

48. I missed this story the other night and the beginning tonight.

Can someone sum it up for me. The boy has some inoperable cancer, no money, and they are trying to raise money on Ebay?

[Patsy Stone]

59. They were selling

"Frank Must Die" bumper stickers on ebay. They've raised 19K (mostly from private donations) and were given an addt'l $10K from the Casino that bought that damn grilled cheese/Virgin Mary thing.

[bunny planet]

62. Is Frank the name of the tumor???

[seito]

64. Yes

[seito]

63. The family needed about $20,000

so they set up an auction on EBAY. Meanwhile, there was an outpouring of donations. They received about $19,000 in private donations, and the same casino that bought the Mary in a grilled cheese won the EBAY auction. The family asked the casino to donate the money they would have payed to a local children's charity because they has received all the money they needed

[bunny planet]

65. Thanks for the update.

I'm glad that they are getting help from the publicity.

[bunny planet]

42. Hey, I think Perky girl (Monica) reads this thread too.

I mentioned she was wearing too much eye makeup the other day and she toned it down some. I love having this much power. I'm drunk with it.
Bwwwwwaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhaaaahaaaa

[Shopaholic]

46. Y'all know I love KO to death

but there's something that really bugs me about him. I'm loathe to admit this, but. . . .I can tell he's a smoker--the yellow teeth. Can we get him a Crest Whitestrips kit for his birthday? And possibly a nicotine patch? I still love you Keith. I just have a thing for good oral hygiene. :loveya: :loveya: :loveya: :loveya: :loveya: :loveya: :loveya:

On edit--not as bright as Regis Philbin's though-the man has overdone it with the whitening.

[Patsy Stone]

50. And while we're at it...

I still have to complain about the caricature. :)

[bunny planet]

51. OMG., I can't believe you said that,

My next post was going to be a recommend for KO to get 'Bright Smile' treatments. I know, think how great he'd look with JK teeth!!!!!!!

[Shopaholic]

57. Good--glad to know I'm not alone on the yellow teeth thing---

it's just yucky. Not only that, it ages you.

[crispini]

82. Man, I never noticed the teeth.

I'm LOVIN this tie... ahhhh. :loveya::loveya::loveya::loveya::loveya:

[McCamy Taylor]

138. Eeeew. Perfect teeth are so gauche!

[Patsy Stone]

142. ROFLMAO! You're right!

The world does not need another Tom Cruise or Kip Winger. Tom's teeth, rumor has it, are the most expensive in Hollywood. No matter what you do though, sadly he still looks like Tom Cruise.

[bunny planet]

151. they don't have to be perfect, just not yellow and snaggly.

I'm a Virgo, I can't help this. It's in my Virgo DNA. Help, Stop me before I nitpick again.

You are sweet and perfect just the way you are Keef.
:loveya: :loveya: :loveya:

[crispini]

152. Ok, STOP NITPICKING. :)

:7 And they are SO not yellow and snaggly.

hey, Keef smokes? all the more reason for me not to quit, I might run into him in the smoking area someday. :D

[bunny planet]

155. he just needs a little whitening strips. We can send them with the cookies

and the Ferragamo tie we're getting him.

[crispini]

160. So are we really gonna do this?

I'll go shopping this weekend if we are. Will ya be around sometime to approve the tie? I couldn't pick out something nice to save my life, but I can send you pix from my phone cam!

[bunny planet]

165. I don't think we should spoil him so much right out of the gate.

It would be fun to get him a tie and see if he wore it. I'm telling you, you can't go wrong with Ferragamo but I was just kidding, way too expensive. I bought one for my husband over 10 years ago and it was two bills (Benjies) and change (Jacksons) back then.

[crispini]

169. Ooookay, no Ferragamo.

But I *will* go looking for a tie of some variety if you'll be the judge of the color and pattern and etc? I have no sense of style at all. I'd be perfectly happy wearing the same thing five days a week, but it would probably ick out my coworkers. :)

[Patsy Stone]

174. Yep

I was thinking Hermes. :)

[bear425]

175. A pink tie? Sorry I'm late. I kinda fell asleep earlier after

too much wine at dinner. I'm all in for the cookies and tie giftie thing. Let me know, ok?

[gkhouston]

164. a tie says, "Here's something nice." Whitening strips say,

"there's something wrong with you. Fix it." I know you mean the message in a nice way, Bunny, but don't think it would be received in the spirit in which it was intended. I have no doubt that you could pick out a truly amazing tie, though.

Gina

[bunny planet]

166. I was really just having fun. I would never send Keef whitening strips.

I am perhaps too sarcastic this evening.

[gkhouston]

167. no, I'm just too clueless. Haven't had any chow yet.

Better go see what hubby is cooking up...

[Patsy Stone]

162. I thought

it was cigars. Shopaholic? Where are you? LOL

:)

[noamnety]

168. No, he doesn't smoke

at least in my imaginary world, he doesn't. I don't know about in real life.

[New Earth]

45. hey where's sparky

:hi: :shrug:

[Sydnie]

49. I was just thinking the same thing.

[Shopaholic]

52. French pop music????

Yeah--it belonged in space. That's awful sounding music. You know they're going to end up pissing off an alien who will come down here and kick our ass for polluting their air waves with such crappy music.

[Patsy Stone]

55. The Brits

at least sent out a Blur song created especially for the spacecraft.
I love Blur.

[Patsy Stone]

53. LOL

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=203&topic_id=270782&mesg_id=282907&page=
:hi:

[Sydnie]

61. LMAO!!! good one n/t

[crispini]

96. Bwah! nt

[sparky_in_ma]

58. LOL

KTH had to put you up to that. :) She's bad, but we love her anyway.

[New Earth]

68. lol

i think it's funny tho. how does it make you feel?

[sparky_in_ma]

76. I just wish,

that I looked like KO. After seeing how all these nice, intelligent, democratic women like him, I need a complete makeover! :crazy:

[Shopaholic]

81. We love you too Sparky

:grouphug:

[Patsy Stone]

117. No need

:hi: Besides, I don't think he exists outside the studio. :)

[gkhouston]

67. Probably looking for a phone booth... n/t

[bunny planet]

60. I don't think I can watch the next segment. That man who left the house to

get ice cream for his family and came back to the mudslide and all his family, wife and three kids gone. Just too sad to wrap my mind around, that and all the people who have lost their children in Asia and in Iraq. Too unbelievably sad.

[Patsy Stone]

69. I can't watch him either

I saw his face on CNN's homepage yesterday and just started welling up and crying. It's a horrible thing. I have to turn this off.

[noamnety]

71. No, you have to watch him

sad, but uplifting. He's got a great spirit.

[bunny planet]

78. I ended up going upstairs and caught the end of it. I had to leave the

room. I know he was trying to be uplifting but it is heartbreaking nonetheless. That poor man.

[Patsy Stone]

124. I know. I actually did.

It's just such a sad story. The irony and the tragedy of it is a bit much.

[Catchawave]

72. It's heartbreaking....

...what's Dad "on"....just a little too normal with the press ?

[bunny planet]

83. I think it's called SHOCK. People go into automated pilot sometimes when

these kind of things happen. They fall apart later on or intermittently.

[Nothing Without Hope]

94. I think it's ghoulish to put him in front of cameras and microphones n/t

[bunny planet]

105. Yes it is, unless he asked to be on camera to plea for them to dig further

for people still buried.

[Nothing Without Hope]

178. That's so

I don't have cable, so didn't see the piece myself. I assumed that the rescue people did everything possible to get to the buried people, but if he believed that they didn't, then of course he had to do everything and anything to get that done. What an unimaginably horrible situation.

[troubleinwinter]

66. Classical music to repel the teens...

My town in the wine country north of San Francisco tried piping in classical music into the town square to scare away the punk/goth kids (thinking the kids'd scare away the rich tourists). So now the 'hip' thing among the 'goths' here is Mozart! Hahaha!!!!!

[DemReadingDU]

74. my daughter lives in San Francisco, n/t

[Greylyn58]

73. Keith Is Looking Good

As always.

He has such a big heart. Sounds like he was getting choked up when Monica was giving her follow-up report about the VA family.

God I love this man!!!

:loveya: :loveya: :loveya:

[Shopaholic]

75. Ah--he gets to do a baseball story.

You know how the man loves baseball.

On edit--I notice he seems to have a soft spot when they do sick kid stories.

[crispini]

77. Hi ladies! Just got here! (pant, pant)

LWV meeting tonight....

edit: wups, I'm slacking: :loveya: :loveya::loveya::loveya::loveya::loveya:

[bleever]

79. Hey crispi, here's one synopsis: Keef's interview with the guy

from the WSJ showed that Keef actually had more info and analysis to offer.

And I think now that Keef knows that you guys know that he has a crush on you, he's a little nervous.

:)

[Shopaholic]

84. Wouldn't you be nervous in a room full of smart, cute,

funny, and fiesty DU women????

We're harmless Keith, we swear.

[crispini]

86. Thanks Bleev!

:hi: I'll have to catch the 1st bit on the rerun.

Nervous, eh? Because of us? LOL.....

[gkhouston]

90. Is that why his jacket's always buttoned?

seems like his jacket has been buttoned throughout the broadcast every night since the Great Suspender Meltdown. Did we spook him? I guess he might not be used to the slumber-party ambience, especially if he didn't grow up with sisters or girl cousins...


Gina

[Shopaholic]

95. Keith does have a sister-but she's like a decade younger than

he is.

You know, thinking about it though--I bet we not only spook him but probably down right scare the hell out of him! :evilgrin:

[gkhouston]

108. my last job, I worked with men who weren't used to working with women

and they really had *no* idea of how silly women can get, especially when they're short on sleep and hit critical mass, which is about 3 women. Hanging out with us definitely enlarged their world view. :-)

Gina

[Patsy Stone]

119. Three!

Those are some tolerant men. Usually it's two maximum. :)

[gkhouston]

149. they were tolerant.

Incredibly sweet guys. But wary. Usually when we started laughing too loudly, they'd ask us if it was a "girl joke" before they'd ask what, exactly the joke was. I think they'd gotten "too much information" on a couple of occasions... ;-0

[Patsy Stone]

171. We can do that (TMI) and not even realize it. LOL! n/t

[crispini]

128. LOL, I work with nothing but guys.

It's like having all the older brothers I never had. On Fridays they go hide in the lab and play X-Box.

BUT -- I am the designer, and they obey *me* ... Mwhahahahahah!

Mostly, that is. :P

[Sydnie]

129. Don't be scared Keith

Most men pray for death that way! ;-)

[troubleinwinter]

102. Give us a little suspender, will ya?

[crispini]

107. LOL, the girls want the suspender action..

:loveya: :evilgrin:

[gkhouston]

111. well, if Playgirl has their sexiest newscaster competition again...

we could lobby for a "suspender" photo.

Hey, what's your beef, Keef? You'd have PANTS on!

Gina

[bunny planet]

143. he doesn't want us to see the little spare tire we saw in one of the pool

pics. No worries Keef, you got great gams, they more than compensate.

[Patsy Stone]

146. Er, madam?

Didn't you forget something?

:loveya::loveya::loveya::loveya::loveya::loveya::loveya::loveya::loveya::loveya:

[bunny planet]

150. Ooops!!!

There is usually a snark to floaty ratio that I abide by but what the f.
:loveya: :loveya: :loveya: :loveya: :loveya: :loveya: :loveya:

[Patsy Stone]

147. Er, madam?

Didn't you forget something?

:loveya::loveya::loveya::loveya::loveya::loveya::loveya::loveya::loveya::loveya:

[crispini]

148. Ahem! some of us think that there is no compensation needed! :) nt

[Patsy Stone]

122. I think he's scared. :) n/t

[Patsy Stone]

88. Hey! It's about time... :) n/t

[Patsy Stone]

87. Gratuitous Prince William photo enclosed...

:loveya:

[Sydnie]

89. That's nice eye candy too! thanks :::drool::::

[Patsy Stone]

92. Sydnie

I have loved him since back when I wasn't supposed to. Now he's over 21 and I'm allowed to say it out loud! :)

[Sydnie]

100. LOL I can relate -- I was the same way with John Jr.

I used to tell my friends that I was moving to Boston to meet the Kennedy's. Imagine how thrilled I was when I finally did! But boy -- John John could have left his shoes under my bed anytime -- eaten crackers in bed -- whatever he wanted and it would have been ok with me!

[Patsy Stone]

139. John John, sigh... n/t

[Shopaholic]

91. I miss Diana so. .

She and Jackie Kennedy were my heroines.

[Sydnie]

93. me too -- both of them

A local Boston band did a song about 20 years ago called "I want to be Jackie Onassis" ... I loved that song. I had sunglasses that my friends called my "JackieO" glasses.

[Shopaholic]

98. I was lucky enough to get to see the exhibit of her dresses from

the White House years a few years ago in DC, and I got to take my Mom who is a die-hard Kennedy family fan. We were both entranced.

[Patsy Stone]

101. I want to wear dark sunglasses? I love that song. n/t

[Sydnie]

YES! You've heard it? n/t

[Patsy Stone]

109. Human Sexual Response.

That was a good ditty. Wasn't it the early 90s?

[Sydnie]

112. No early 80's! Well before she died.

Why did I think you all were that much younger than me? If you know that song then you know good local music!

edited to add -- just pulled out the album -- released 1980!

[Patsy Stone]

126. Sweetie, Darling

I'm old. LOL :)

1980. Yep. I stand corrected. Speaking of local Boston bands, have you heard The Pernice Brothers?

[Sydnie]

133. No. Are they good? Did you ever see The Atlantics?

same time frame as HSR. They did a lot of openings for bands in Boston.

[Patsy Stone]

153. I have not heard of The Atlantics

what kind of music?

I like The Pernice Brothers. The usually play First Night (is that what it's called? On New Year's Eve?).

Boston has a history of great bands. Even if you count New Kids on the Block. I've only been there once, but I like small bands and I am always pleased with what's going on up there musically.

[Sydnie]

163. They played pop/new wave music.

I haven't heard of the Pernice Brothers but I will ask around and see if anyone has -- to get a clue of where else I might see them.

[Patsy Stone]

172. Try this.

http://www.pernicebrothers.com/index_flash.php

They've been around for a while and I really like them. They're a quiet "staying inside having tea on a snowy day after a break up, but it's okay" kinda band. I recommend "Overcome by Happiness" if you'd like to try them out.

[Patsy Stone]

173. BTW

I love New Wave and I'm listening to old Elvis Costello right now on my digital cable music channel titled "Retro-Active." :)

[Patsy Stone]

97. Me too

My friend and I are going to the exhibit this weekend. The travelling one with the wedding dress in the big glass box?

Oh, and I have a promotional copy of this really, really cheesy "banned in Britain" special they made. It includes interviews with Andrew Morton (bacuse it's the law) and Mohammed al-Fayed. They held three different seances to try to reach her. CHEESE! But, I watched it anyhow. I was up at 4 a.m. that day to watch the wedding. How 'bout you?

:)

edit: because there was just too much white space.

[Shopaholic]

106. Me too. I was 14 .

And I just thought that Diana's wedding was the most amazing thing I'd ever seen. Too bad she married a toad instead of a real prince.
She's probably doing 360 revolutions in her grave over this latest Harry incident.

[Patsy Stone]

115. I know

He's acting out. Poor kid. But in his role as second in line, he's supposed to be the bad boy. Remember playboy Andrew?

[bunny planet]

134. Yeah and the kid's had Camilla Parker Bowles as a 'mumsy' stand-in.

That woman is straight out of 'Whatever Happened to Baby Jane'. I think it's interesting that Harry does good works when he's away from home, but acts up when back in the company of the other 'royals' back at the palace(s).

[Patsy Stone]

154. She's a MAN baby! Horse Face. n/t

[gkhouston]

158. or as the Brits would say, "face like the back of a cab" n/t

[Patsy Stone]

170. Face like a cat's ass. LMAO. She's hideous. n/t

[crispini]

103. Oooo, very nice! nt

[bunny planet]

99. 'poorly executed actual mooning'

snark!!!
:loveya:

so far low-key snarkiness tonight, but that's because of the stories so far.

next up Prince Dimwit. that could get nice and snarky.

See you in a bit.

[crispini]

110. I liked the caption "the furor"

of course, everyone's been making that joke all day...

[bunny planet]

121. speaking of tie, what's with the brit press sec for the Queen's tie.

Dudettes, it was day-glo!!!!! Pychadelic baby.

I love the way they mention that if Harry's friend gave him the costume he needs to get new friends. What about getting some judgement of his own, geez, do his handlers need to tell him that wearing a Nazi uniform is in bad taste for a public figure (or anyone for that matter).

Cheeky little bastard. I think he's going through a rebellious stage.

[bunny planet]

135. yes, we all posted about the raucous Brit tie at the same time!! LOL

[Patsy Stone]

104. Bad Form, Harry! Achtung, Harry. LOL n/t

[Shopaholic]

113. Anybody checking out the tie this British guy is wearing?

My eyes--my eyes-I'm blind.

[crispini]

123. LOL, the same post at the same time, Shopaholic! nt

[crispini]

114. What's up with this British guy's tie?

Ow! Eyes bleed! ow! ow!

125. Where is

Miami Liberal? This makes two meetings in a row that she's missed. I hope she's okay.

By proxy: :loveya::loveya::loveya::loveya::loveya::loveya::loveya:

132. I thought she came in late last night?

Yes, we should do some extras. :loveya::loveya::loveya:

I suspect now that we're after the holidays attendance will be somewhat less than regular.... I know my fellow activists and I are all getting hot around the collar about our next elections already! :7

[Patsy Stone]

156. That's a great thing.

I hope there's a real fire burning in people outside of DU. We need to spread the energy and the information.

And, Keef: :loveya::loveya::loveya::loveya::loveya::loveya::loveya:

179. Is that a Siouxsie avatar? n/t

[Shopaholic]

131. Damn--what kind of statement was he trying to make with that tie?

I'm a stiff upper-crust Brit but in my spare time I listen to the Grateful Dead???

[crispini]

136. LOL. nt

[bleever]

140. Ahem...you would not see that tie at a Grateful Dead concert

unless accessorized to scream "Irony!"

Whoops, little defensive there. Sorry.

[Patsy Stone]

157. I am the only one who did not see this travesty of taste. n/t

177. The tie was day-glo pink and strobing like a

mo-fo. Definitely one for the fashion police. His grandson must've bought it for him.

130. Bad form, yep. How many of his countrymen died due to Hitler?

Aint like the kid didn't get the best education available & is unaware of WWII.

[Patsy Stone]

159. And of course

being descended from Germans who ran away from being German helps.

137. Decidedly unsnarky show, as snarkiness goes.

Only 1 and a half stars on the snark meter.

[crispini]

145. Ah, yes, but he wore a stripe-y tie!

Therefore, extra bonus floaty hearts: :loveya::loveya::loveya::loveya::loveya::loveya::loveya::loveya::loveya::loveya::loveya::loveya::loveya::loveya::loveya::loveya:

Hey, it was good for me. :loveya:

[Patsy Stone]

161. It was the stories

But, for the dark suit and the light blue shirt: :loveya::loveya::loveya::loveya:

176. Had to come in for the repeat

Had the handyman over fixing some plumbing stuffies.

Talked to Patsy on the phone! :toast:

And, of course, floaty hearts for Keef!!
