KOEB Meeting

[Patsy Stone]

:loveya: on vacation



and a new blog yesterday! http://www.bloggermann.com Thanks, Keef!

[rodeodance]

1. Bush really did not condolences to families in his news conference--

he only said that we value life...

[rodeodance]

3. btw-thand for the KO pic--he is with us in spirit

[Patsy Stone]

4. He sucks

That whole thing was a travesty. So many died today and he "remains optimistic". Ass.

[rodeodance]

6. his positive talk is real boring

[bettyellen]

13. he's careful to never apologize, or explain......

[Nothing Without Hope]

2. Whoa! WHere is everybody tonight?? Hi Pats! n/t

[Patsy Stone]

5. Hey. Hope!

I thought it was empty last night without any :loveya: until late, when we were called out! :)

[Nothing Without Hope]

14. I missed last night, but Monday was interesting!

Anything happening on the KO-less Countdown?

For Keef in his secure undisclosed location:
:loveya: :loveya: :loveya:

And tomorrow will be the KO birthday edition! I'm expecting some interesting contributions from my KOEB colleagues for the occasion!

[Patsy Stone]

21. It is possible

drinks will be involved. There was talk of holding the party in The Lounge. :party: :)

However, the news that she's reporting doesn't put me in the mood, if you know what I mean.

[Nothing Without Hope]

Yeah, I do know what you mean. Not a good day in the news. n/t

[seito]

16. I didn't even see this thread last night

:(

[Patsy Stone]

19. I think we were lazy.

And we miss Keef. :(

:loveya:

[bettyellen]

24. Did you see this- the dance party... we have a new fan... Gogi!

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=105x2506675

[seito]

48. I missed it.

Work is severely limiting my DU time. Dammit!!!!

[bettyellen]

18. called out for a moonlight spin on the dancefloor of the Lounge!

[Patsy Stone]

23. I know

how funny was that? I didn't see crispini's day thread yesterday. I would have liked to have caught up and had a nice chat and tea sandwiches with you girls.

Are you cold? :scared:

[Nothing Without Hope]

34. Yeah, several new inches on top of the 30 inches of snow here

and I can't seem to get warm. Cold beers don't appeal tonight. Good company and hot "genial beverage" (as Amelia Peabody says) do.

Glad to see you all, makes me feel better.
:hi:

[Patsy Stone]

66. We'll keep you warm

and filled with good thoughts and :loveya:

[Nothing Without Hope]

148. Thanks! That is indeed a warming thought!

And my hot spiced tea is helping too
;)

[bettyellen]

35. much warmer in here, i think my baseboard was clogged or something...

over the weekend i was frozen. kept reheating things and even using the oven to make toast. how sad is that?

[Nothing Without Hope]

52. Really, REALLY sad. If you were here, we'd light the fireplace

and have delicious hot tea and goodies. All the other KOEB would be invited, too, of course. We could think about KO and stay warm!
;)

[bettyellen]

85. that sounds so nice! thank you!

[Patsy Stone]

67. It's beautiful here

Really, really beautiful. Sorry.

[Nothing Without Hope]

75. No need for sorries, it's beautiful here too! Just cold. n/t

[Miami Liberal]

145. I second that! : ) n/t

[Nothing Without Hope]

7. Here's part of what was in the Countdown email today

Today was a particulary bad one in Iraq...



Thirty-one U.S. troops were killed in a helicopter crash and five more died in insurgent attacks on Wednesday in the deadliest day for American forces since they invaded Iraq 22 months ago. According to the initial investigation, the helicopter crashed due to a mechanical failure or poor weather conditions, military officials said. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/6847225/



Calling this weekend's national election in Iraq "a grand moment" in Iraqi history, President Bush on Wednesday urged the populace to "defy these terrorists" waging an unrelenting campaign of violence by casting their ballots. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/6870439/



Countdown w/ Keith Olbermann broadcasts LIVE at 8 pm et, and the count is never complete without you. Join us.

Alison Stewart is in for Keith this week.



Commuter Train Wreck: Two Metrolink commuter trains derailed in the Los Angeles suburb of Glendale early Wednesday, killing at least nine people and injuring scores more, authorities said. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/6870372

Sounds like a mostly serious show, though several puff pieces were listed too

[Patsy Stone]

8. Ashlee Simpson!

I don't know what's up with the fluff. It's easier to take it from Alison, though, since she was on MTV. :)

[rodeodance]

11. I wonder if reporters/ohers are building up the election toooooo

negitively.

[Patsy Stone]

30. You mean so we expect the worst

and then, when it turns out it's only mostly terrible thay can say, "See it wasn't as bad as all that? Maybe. I'd put nothing past these Bozos.

[Nothing Without Hope]

25. True. And I don't think Keith enjoys doing it.

But he can do more in this program, even with obligatory fluff, than he was able to do as a sportscaster.

And he's demonstrated he's more of a journalist than the pompous talking heads.

More for Keef and his journalism:
:loveya: :loveya: :loveya:

[Patsy Stone]

32. Let's Give It Up!

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

[seito]

9. Hey Pats

Long time no see... missed ya :)

[Patsy Stone]

12. We're coming home!

It's off-topic, and silly, and I can't wait. :)
I've missed you, too. How's work and life?

[seito]

28. Ahhhhh Work

162 troubled teenagers. The first two weeks are always so much fun.

Life is better tonight. Our Election Forum is back to normal, and the KOEB thread is up and running, complete with yummy Keef pic. :loveya: :loveya: :loveya:

[Patsy Stone]

38. All feels right with the world, no?

I was so happy about yesterday's "As DU Turns" events. There may be some ruffled feathers, and we do all need to focus on which things to do. Arnheim's doing great things. I think it's more about the "family" we've all become no matter which part of the issue we focus on individually. You go somewhere you've always gone and you expect to hang out and work and play with the same people.

Good on you for the 162 troubled teenagers -- my TFH is off to you. :)

[Shopaholic]

149. What the hell happened--what did I miss--I've been on deadline

and have only been able to pop in to say hello in the KO threads. What did I miss?????

[bettyellen]

10. here I am! so glad to see y'all!

[rodeodance]

15. Hi back to you.

[Patsy Stone]

17. Hello, madam.

How's it going? :hi:

This election is going to be a frickin' nightmare. :(

[bettyellen]

22. i can't watch, have a pissed off man in the next room......

so i let him have the man valium, uh, TV.
so i have to hear from you guys.
grrh, he's flipping channels.
i want that fucking remote. stop me.

[Patsy Stone]

26. At least

there's no KO to miss. Imagine the feelings you'd have then?
:spank:

[bettyellen]

31. that's true. i'm going to miss some of next week though.

:cry: but it's good to know i can check in here if i'm iffy about catching the rerun.

[seito]

20. Good to see you too

and for Keef in his undisclosed location :loveya: :loveya: :loveya:

[Patsy Stone]

27. This train wreck was a little too 24, she's right

Oy, a suicide attempt gone bad. So horrible.

[fooj]

29. Hi ladies! One more night of abandonment!

[Shopaholic]

37. I'm not even watching tonight--

I'm working on a project. Revisions--just shoot me now. Yuck. I love that KO blogged for us. It was damned funny too. Can you believe the IQ on these idiots??? What a stupid question that was--of course you can! And did y'all hear the news--there's a Countdown scheduled for this Sunday night at 8pm to cover the Iraqi elections. Let's hope that our KO returns home to us! Off to work I go. See ya'll tomorrow for the par-tay.

[bettyellen]

42. Party in the Lounge!

i love confusing those people.

[Clark2008]

184. OMG!!

First, :hi: all. I've been burning CDs and hadn't notice there was a thread.

Secondly, did you all notice this in Keith's blog:
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/6210240/

The spam e-mails began coming in Tuesday night. They were pretty routine, damning me to eternal fires and reminding me what they "did" to Dan Rather and how I'd be next.

OK... so what do we do about it? How do we trash the Freepers. Keith WILL never be villified. It will be over OUR dead bodies!!!

[Sydnie]

33. Hi girls Missed you all so much!

Oh what a week it has been.

My daughter has control of the tv near the computer again. I am being forced to watch Idol again but at least Keef is on vacation so it doesn't hurt as much!

Keef -- come home -- we :loveya:

[Patsy Stone]

45. Hi, Sydnie!

I know, I think we were all just blah yesterday from LOK (lack of Keef) and, with all the goings-on, it's probably better that we weren't around. It made them miss us more. :)


:loveya: KO

[Sydnie]

62. I was wondering where the thread was last night

I thought I just couldn't find it!

Did you see, in Skinners renaming the forum thread, that someone invited the KOEB back to that forum? I kept searching there and here last night for you all.

Between the snowed in kids and having to go to work in all that mess .. I am ready for some adult conversation.

Now, if I could just get Simon's voice to go away, I might actually relax and enjoy it a bit.

I will have to hear about the show from you all tonight again...

sigh

[Patsy Stone]

73. Monday

This montage of * they're showing right now is pretty funny. I look forward, forward, looking forward to working with people, Dr. Rice and I are looking forward..." LOL!

I love Simon, sorry.

That was understandinglife. I think Seito posted the thread and the quote above.

I think we're having a party in The Lounge tomorrow for KO's b-day, and when he comes back on Monday, I guess we'll go back.

[troubleinwinter]

36. Eeeek. I'm here... late.

I needed that KO pic in OP... husband is down with serious pneumonia.

Some good things happening today, though, just was reading Raw Story and other stuff.

[bettyellen]

39. now you be nice, or i'm pulling out the stache pic!

[troubleinwinter]

41. I ban people who show stash pics, ya know.

[bettyellen]

51. i'm not going anywhere... all keef is good keef...

you gotta take the stached past with the present snark.
don't make me post it!

[troubleinwinter]

43. I BAN people who show stache pics, ya know.

[bettyellen]

63. i'll sick Faye on you! I'm sure Skinner would love to hear how you feel

about stache VS no stache.
i think after yesterday, he's going to be ignoring a lot of bitching! LOL.

[Patsy Stone]

40. Ooof!

Wow, that blows. I'm sorry to hear it. Good to see you! :hi:

[troubleinwinter]

47. Nice to see KO folks, so we can cry in our beer together, missin' him!

[Nothing Without Hope]

84. Serious pneumonia can be very scary. Good wishes coming at you both n/t

[troubleinwinter]

104. Yuh, been getting sorta complicated. A bad part is he's in the TV ROOM!

I will hafta try to catch the re-run tonite. Fortunately, I'm in Calif., so it's not so late.

[Shopaholic]

161. I had walking pneumonia once--I didn't feel like crawling

that is some nasty shit! Wishing speedy recovery to hubby!

[sparky_in_ma]

165. Take good care of him

Us men are bad when we're sick. Hope he gets better quick, it's not fun.:(

[troubleinwinter]

172. Thanks for your kind thoughts. Yep, I feel helpless... faxing, emailing

and phoning don't seem to help on his one!

[Miami Liberal]

Hope your hubby gets better soon

:hug:

[seito]

44. I have decided that I am getting too sentimental

This made me tear up

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=105x2506675#2506824

"To everyone who have made this forum very much like a community, I’d like to suggest that a bit of liberalism, of respect for diversity, be nurtured in our fraud-buster, reformist group. For instance, maybe we could welcome the wonderful KOEB nightly thread to return to our ‘home.’ Those needing a moment of mirth, a bit of escape from the grueling efforts to stomp election fraud would find that thread quite refreshing (note: I’m a straight male, even more happy with my wife now than when we were married ~ 35 years ago)."


:grouphug:

[Patsy Stone]

49. I know

I thanked him for that. He and I met at dKos. That's exactly what I was talking about in my previous response. So, so sweet. :grouphug:

[troubleinwinter]

50. Seen Faye & dzika's video? TALK ABOUT TEARS!!!

[seito]

55. Oh, I know

That video was wonderful.

[Patsy Stone]

59. Yep

They really hit some notes there. I hope there are more to come.

[bettyellen]

65. Here's to Faye, you and Dzika rock! The KOEB salutes you!!

:toast:

[seito]

69. Indeed

:toast:

[DemReadingDU]

71. Hi Ladies, is there a link to this video?

Thanks!

[bettyellen]

83. posting twice because everybody should see it.......

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=104x3006006

[DemReadingDU]

107. Excellent video!

Well deserved floaty hearts to both dzika & faye!

:loveya: :loveya: :loveya:

[bettyellen]

118. Again, Bravo Dzika and Faye !!

:loveya: :loveya: :loveya:

[Patsy Stone]

78. I've alread given dzika

some of these, but they are certainly well earned:
:loveya::loveya:
And for you too, Faye! :loveya:

[Sydnie]

72. I haven't seen it. Where is it?

I have been out of the loop more lately than I have been in the loop! LOL Does that make me loopy or loopless?

Anyway, where's the video?

[bettyellen]

80. Here it is, but a warning, you are gonna get veklempt!

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=104x3006006

[Sydnie]

128. You weren't kidding!

That is so great. There are no words. Thanks Faye!

[bettyellen]

129. I know, sometimes words just aren't enough.....

[bettyellen]

57. that was understanding life, right? love him!

nice to know he enjoys peeking in on our thread!
Hi U-Life!
:loveya:

[seito]

68. Here's to UL

:toast: and :loveya: and :hug:

[bettyellen]

77. oh yes, hugs + more to to UL ...

:grouphug:
:loveya::loveya::loveya:

[Nothing Without Hope]

70. Oh, that is just wonderful. I hope we all cover him with

lots of well-deserved KOEB "fond regards":
:loveya: :loveya: :loveya: :loveya: :loveya:

[Nothing Without Hope]

46. Keith finally blogged yesterday (first since 19th)- he can't keep away!

January 25, 2005 | 8:00 a.m. ET

Some vacation this is (Keith Olbermann)

PINEAPPLE UNDER THE SEA— There are going to be a lot of mixed cultural references in here. Sue me, I’m on vacation.

SpongeBob SquarePants has made me think of Mickey Mantle, and Godfather III (I still want my eight bucks back, Mr. Coppola). Like Al Pacino’s character in the latter, I keep getting pulled back in.
(snip)

I knew he couldn't resist the stupid Spongebob Squarepants brouhaha! (Or us, either, of course)

(edited - Jan 25th is YESTERDAY, geez-looeeze. And thanks for mentioning the link, Pats. Here it is again:
http://msnbc.msn.com/id/6210240)

[rodeodance]

54. Condi is now officially "Madam Secretary" uga uga

[Nothing Without Hope]

61. I prefer the more formal "Stepfordwife of State" myself n/t

[crispini]

99. i am SO stealing that! nt

[Nothing Without Hope]

120. Hey, it's not stealing if it's a gift. Be my guest, Crispi! n/t

[Patsy Stone]

56. The link is in the OP. Love when he blogs on vacation!

For KO: :loveya::loveya::loveya::loveya::loveya::loveya:

[Patsy Stone]

53. Again with the shrub

Dr. Rice: 85-13. Democrats and Jeffords.
Highest amount of "No" votes in the last 10 SoS. Wow.

Alberto Gonzalez: There's a piece of crap.

[rodeodance]

58. "rail for the TV cameria" is all the Dems can do!! Milbank reporter on

[rodeodance]

60. Milbank doe not think the press conf. did much for Bush--I agree

[fooj]

79. That's an understatement if I've ever heard one!

[Patsy Stone]

64. I know

All of the talking heads that MSNBC uses for this show are mediocre. The exceptions are Michael Musto and Craig Crawford. I'd like to see Katrina Van Den Heuvel (sp?) on with KO. I don't know why they only put her on with Tweety.

[Nothing Without Hope]

114. Did you see what Feingold wrote with his NO vote for Gonzales?

I can't agree with his YES vote for Rice, but he sure hits it with his Gonzales comments - which are in the Congressional Record now.
http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=132x1535878

[bettyellen]

74. all this forward bullshit is code for don't ask a thing about any of the

last four years.
fuck that buddy!
you're on notice, we got lots of questions for you.
and keef is going to make sure they get asked, aren't ya?
:loveya::loveya::loveya:

[crispini]

76. hi ladies! nice to see ya'll!

:loveya::loveya::loveya::loveya: for KO on vaco and new blog!

[Patsy Stone]

81. Hey, I was going to send out a search party!

:hi:

And, yes, for KO, who blogged on vacation! :loveya:

Maggie Gallagher was paid, too. The money was for research. Is that what they're calling it these days?

[crispini]

86. What a big ol' HO!

Isn't that what they call it when they pay you for it? :evilgrin:

[Patsy Stone]

92. Exactly what they call it.

They're getting too big for their britches. Can't wait for the Gonzalez speeches.

[Deb]

82. bush's "Forward Montage"

I love this stuff. In fact, I look forward to them. :-)

[Patsy Stone]

89. LOL

That was damn funny. It shows he's using that "Word-a-Day" Calendar I bought him! :)

[seito]

87. "That's so Rumsfeldian"...LMAO

[fooj]

88. Yes."it oghta be able to stand on its own two feet...

but it has no feet so......... Did you guys know that William Kristol and Krauthammer helped write Shrub's Coronation Speech? Kristol/Weekly Standard and Krauthammer/Washington Post and BOTH are commentators for Faux News! But remember folks..the White House doesn't know anything about it! Shrub doesn't know who writes his speeches! Isn't that a hoot!

[Patsy Stone]

96. He goes on a "need to know" basis

And no one can come up with anything that he really needs to know. :)

[crispini]

90. Oh, and AHEM.... for those who don't know...

tie has arrived. :evilgrin:

[Patsy Stone]

94. LOL. So HOT!

Truly, the deed has been done. :headbang:

[bettyellen]

97. the eagle has landed....

[troubleinwinter]

98. I KNOW!!! Anybody gonna watch the Monday or Tuesday show?!

He'll probly torment us and make us wait a week. I think he's a tease.

[bettyellen]

105. for sure Monday... but Tues is iffy, Wed is impossible.

but I will be checking the thread......

[troubleinwinter]

110. How long do ya figure he'll tease us?

I figure Monday he'll wear grey suit. Tuesday... suspenders. Wednesday.. THE TIE.

[bettyellen]

115. don't say that, i have a thing wednesday. i'm betting on tues or thurs...

but remember, blood oath, NO SQUEALING ON THE THREAD !!!!

[crispini]

119. He may never wear it, ya'll!

so let's not get our expectations too high?

[Nothing Without Hope]

143. So, who does he think he's getting the tie FROM?

Is this a solo effort or is this a KOEB project or both? (We can do both things, we're flexible, we're women!)

Far as I'm concerned, as long as he doesn't wear that one awful greyish suit, it's hard to beat those red suspenders.
:P

[Miami Liberal]

170. He teased us with those red suspenders one night

and never again, not fair! Hey, we haven't seen the light gray suit in a long time. He usually wore it ATLEAST once a week. Hmmm, definitely reading these threads.

[troubleinwinter]

173. I dunno... since when did a man ever take a hint? I think it musta

gotten a hole in the pocket.

[Miami Liberal]

182. LOL! You're so right. n/t

[Miami Liberal]

150. Woo hoo!!

:bounce: :toast: :bounce:

[bettyellen]

91. 41 and 42? noooo. i cannot deal with this....

what is going on with that?
i mean theres bygones and there's bygones.
aren't there? am i crazy?

[Patsy Stone]

93. Everytime I see that commercial

with the two of them, I just want to take Bill out of there. He shouldn't be contaminated. :(

[bettyellen]

95. it hurts to see that, can't he hang with jimmie carter or

something. go over and build some houses with habitat?

[Patsy Stone]

100. He could just come over

and sit on my couch. That would be okay. :)

For the Big Dog, who I love :loveya:

[bettyellen]

101. Too bad that wouldn't be televised! or maybe too good!

what am i hinting at here?

[Patsy Stone]

103. Exactly my point... :) n/t

[Patsy Stone]

102. Anyone see Ashlee get booed at the Orange Bowl?

Funny! She really can't sing. As someone who can't sing, I know no talent. That, right there, is untalented.

:)

[troubleinwinter]

108. I'm old. Never have figured out who Ashley is. But J. Carter is invited

for dinner.

[Patsy Stone]

112. Ashlee is Jessica Simpson's sister

And she's got a career because she's Jessica Simpson's sister. Don't even bother asking who Jessica Simpson is. Let's just say it's very Gabor Sisters.

She was booed because she was terrible. Previously, there was a bit of stuff because she lip-synched on Sat. Night Live.

No talent.

[troubleinwinter]

117. Thank you for inviting me not to ask about Jessica. Otherwise, I'da had t

OH! I know about the one who lip-synched. See, I aint completely square.

[bettyellen]

122. Gabor sisters! ROTFL.. at least they knew what they were though.

[bettyellen]

111. pretty lacking in talent, she blamed the booing on the fact that she

was roooting against the local team. uh huh.
and they woulda been hooting and clapping for the team instead of her also, right?

[crispini]

106. I kind of like Alison Stewart.

She's not bad.

now when are we gonna get good coverage like this for my LOCAL news, eh? there's sooooo much drama here.... it's a catfight a day! and they make it sooo boring!

[Patsy Stone]

109. I like her fine

and I'm glad she's moving up. I like her better than Chris Jansing. It seems Alison "gets" it. :)

[crispini]

113. So wasn't there a rumor that KO was dating Chris J?

Anyone know whether or not she's on vaco this week? :7

[bettyellen]

116. who's Chris J ?? Shopaholic knows more than she's letting on.

we have to pour heavily and get her to spill all at the party. we'll refill her glass when she's not looking. woooo hooooooo.

[crispini]

123. Chris Jansing, last sub.

Really? What do you think Shopaholic knows? :evilgrin:

[bettyellen]

124. she pulls more tidbits out of her hat than anyone....

informal party pics, snippets of interviews and personal factoids.
i'm wondering if it all comes from dogpile....
hmmmm.

[crispini]

126. that's what she SAYS....

heh heh :evilgrin:

[bettyellen]

127. i wonder myself... maybe she's in with, who was that DU er, who's hubby

is a friend of KO? did you see the lovely baseball sweater pic on monday? :loveya:
she's like the deep throat of KO.......

[Shopaholic]

130. Hey-hey-don't be talking about me while I'm out of the room

I can still hear you know! Well, I wasn't going to say anything but you know, KO and I are tight. :evilgrin: And can I help it if I know things???? :shrug:

I will admit it helps that I have access to Lexis-Nexis via my job and can pull up old articles on whomever I like when the mood strikes. :evilgrin: Seriously, that's my big secret. I'm just really, really good at research. It's part of my job and I sometimes use it for more pleasurable pursuits--like getting to the bottom of the many mysteries that are KO!

And no on Chris Jansing. Not that I know of. From what I hear about him, Jansing is way too old for him. He likes women who are at least a decade younger!

And no, I am not secretly tight with Flyarm--although we have exchanged an e-mail or two. Oddly, we did not talk about KO at all but how to make the font size on your PC larger!!!

But you know, now that you mention it, we might need to pump HER for some inside info.

[crispini]

131. LOL. (raises hand) Hey, I'm a decade younger!

Yeah, but it's fun to pretend that you're deep throat and Sparky is KO. :D

[bettyellen]

133. but are you tall enough... what the minimum height again, Shopa?

5' 9" - 10" or so. Yeah, that's me.

[Shopaholic]

134. Sorry Cris my friend,

I was being kind. I think 30 is his cut-off age from the scoop that I got from a secret, non-Lexis/Nexis source!

So I'm Sparky's deep throat now? You know-I think I'll just leave that alone!!!

And yes, I READ that he likes 'em tall. That rules me out both age-wise and height-wise (5'3").

[crispini]

135. ROFL, See you DO have connections. :)

I'm 5'5" so I guess that's too short too, eh. Well a girl can fantasize, eh, there's no law against that! :evilgrin:

[bettyellen]

137. or get platform shoes........

[crispini]

139. Ok, I can SO do that.

Buy platform shoes.... and I look waaaaaay younger than I am. :7 Wouldja believe I still get carded sometimes?

[Shopaholic]

146. I can still pass for years younger than I am--but not under 30!

LOL. And even with platforms--I'd still only be 5'7", alas.

[bettyellen]

153. dude, it happens... i've been on a streak of 20 somethings hitting

on me lately. i have to laugh, and say, nooo can do. but where the hell were y'all when i was 18? there are way too many 28 year olds in this towm. what's up with that? a mini baby boom? 28 is a little below my limit these days. i'm shooting for a nice 43 or so year old MAN. everybody's a darn teenager till they're thirty these days. or until they start losing their hair.

[crispini]

156. Yeah, the problem with 20somethings is,

they're really only good for one thing. :evilgrin:

[bettyellen]

164. and it aint scintillating conversation, either.

[Miami Liberal]

168. You're bad

:o :thumbsup:

[Nothing Without Hope]

183. Many men think the same thing, but they LIKE it : ( n/t

[Miami Liberal]

162. Men my age are so immature when it comes to women

I need me a middle aged, silver-haired, snarky fellow with big hands. Know where I can find one? :P '


:loveya:

[sparky_in_ma]

136. ROFLMAO

Can't stop laughing:)

[bettyellen]

138. no reason to stop... you did not get enough sleep last night, did ya?

a little punchy after the party last night. LOL.

[sparky_in_ma]

142. I didn't

and I'm still laughing:) Hey, you told Faye the KOEB has odd admirers. I'm strange, not odd.:silly:

[bettyellen]

154. oh, no, i didn't mean that ... no no no... we love you sparky!

i think that i meant we are getting these odd call outs-- command performances of hugs and dancing. it's flattering, and a little weird, too! LOL!!
and you've never done that. so, that was not about you.
:loveya: :loveya: :loveya:

[sparky_in_ma]

159. : )

I wasn't offended, just teasing. It does seem like you have a fan club. Your thread has so many posts in such a short time it's incredible. And all good fun mixed with serious topical discussions.:yourock:

[Shopaholic]

141. So tell us Keith. .

I mean Sparky--- (note to self--NEVER call KO by his "real" name on the DU board): So as I was saying. . . enlighten the DU girls. . is it true you rule women out by height and age? I mean, you wouldn't seriously consider a 40-year old vertically challenged woman like myself just because I'm a little over the age limit and a little under the height limit now would you?

And you know what they say about redheads. . . :evilgrin:

[sparky_in_ma]

147. 40 is a good age

50 is good too. Mature women are a lot more fun! Vertically challenged is easily corrected by shoes or a change of position.

[Shopaholic]

151. See, that's why we love Sparky!

He's SMART! :grouphug:

[crispini]

152. snicker....

why do KOEB threads always hover on the verge of ... AHEM... getting locked..... :evilgrin:

[seito]

177. You guys are too much

:evilgrin: Just have to push that envelope.

[Nothing Without Hope]

167. OOooh, Sparky! You surely do have a large helping of charm!

And strange beats odd any time, even without the red suspenders!

For Sparky:
:loveya: :pals: :loveya:

[Miami Liberal]

174. Sparky, what's wrong with women 30 and under

We're not so bad. :)

[sparky_in_ma]

180. When I was 30

I loved 30 year old women.:) I'm sure you're very sweet. :pals:

[Nothing Without Hope]

157. Hey, Sparky! You've been missed tonight! : - ) n/t

[sparky_in_ma]

160. Had to work late

but I always hurry to catch this and the "I believe" thread.

[Nothing Without Hope]

175. Glad we can help lift your spirits, Sparky

Where is the "I believe" thread? That sounds like something I'd like to frequent too. I've seen it a couple of times and enjoyed it, but I didn't know it was a DU regular.

Keeping our spirits up and laughing is serious business, you know. Here's the third time today I've cited this Mark Twain quote, but it's so very true:
Irreverence is the champion of liberty and its only sure defense.

Have some virtual hot herbal tea and relax in a warm chair. I'm sure you've earned both.

[seito]

179. Here ya go

[Miami Liberal]

140. OOOOOOOH I'm 30!!

I'm packing my bags and taking the next flight to NYC! I'll let you know if the tie comes in handy or not. :evilgrin:

[crispini]

144. LOL.

Poor KO, besieged by hoards of wimmen. Must be tough. :7

[Miami Liberal]

155. So, ah shopaholic

How much will it take to bribe you into giving us more inside info from your source? }(

[Shopaholic]

158. Lots and lots dearie--I have a shopping habit to finance

:evilgrin: (See user name)!!!

And besides, I'm not the type of girl who kisses and tells.

[crispini]

163. Oooo, that must be good gossip!

:evilgrin: Um, do you want another tie? :silly:

[Miami Liberal]

166. Darn it! I was ready to organize a fund drive for KO gossip

:cry:

I'll settle for more KO pics but PLEASE no more stache photos! :thumbsdown:

[troubleinwinter]

169. I ban people who post stashe photos.

[bettyellen]

186. you can't ban me.....he he he....

[Shopaholic]

176. No---no more stache photos---

[Miami Liberal]

178. Ah, yes!

Much much better. :loveya: :loveya: :loveya: :loveya:

[bettyellen]

132. whoa, check you! i knew you'd show up with another tid bit. you never

dissapoint. Lexis-Nexis. I should have known!

[troubleinwinter]

121. I don't want to say anything, but

I wonder if he might be "seeing" someone. That's a helluva lot of vacations to take in New Jersey in the winter?

[crispini]

125. What, this week?

probably went out of town for his b'day to get away from the snow. I would! when else has he been on vaco recently?

[Greylyn58]

171. I Miss Keith...

Can't wait for his return!

:loveya: :loveya: :loveya:
