Countdown (KOEB) Friday

[Patsy Stone]

:loveya: :loveya:




And.. Hi, Steph! :hi:

[SharonRB]

1. Hi, Patsy

It's been quite an eventful day, has it not?

[Patsy Stone]

17. Amazing

And, I hit a mattress on the way home. Don't ask. It involved a tow truck. :hi:

[SharonRB]

92. Oh, no

I hope you and your car are both okay.

[Patsy Stone]

133. We are

It would have been funny if it wasn't on the highway. :(

[gkhouston]

145. oh shit. Not good at all.

Bet that was fun explaining to the insurance company. So how many hours before your adrenaline levels return to normal?

[Patsy Stone]

174. No, it wasn't all of that

But thanks for the good wishes and I am drinking now.

I have a MINI and the van in front of me hit the mattress and knocked it into my path while I was driving -- I couldn't avoid it. When my little car ran over it, it wedged itself under the car. There was a Road Ranger there in seconds. He gave up trying to jack up the car and remove the mattress, because he kept catching the mattress in the tow rig. He towed me to a safe area and I ended up backing up off of it, finally. All of it happened in the slow lane and the median between the traffic lane and the exit lane. Fun!

:hi:

[gkhouston]

185. so you were lucky in an unlucky way.

I'd say you've earned as many drinks as you can down without making yourself sick!

[Patsy Stone]

202. Thasss a lotta drinks. :) n/t

[gkhouston]

205. then you'd better give your keys to Sparky or bleever n/t

[Patsy Stone]

217. Not a bad idea at all...

Do I have to wear the bib? :)

[sparky_in_ma]

224. I'll take the keys

and maybe just a wee peak under the bib.;-)

[Patsy Stone]

233. LOL

Bodices, bibs, thongs, wardrobe malfunctions...

This is a thread with something for everyone. :)

[Clark2008]

355. Something for everyone, excluding frigid fundies

I mean - how do they think they're supposed to fufill God's will and procreate if they don't take a peak under the bib every now and then?

:eyes:

[Patsy Stone]

364. No bib peaking

Or they're going straight to the hot place!

Sinners!!!! :)

[gkhouston]

225. depends on whether or not you're hoping Sparky

will mistake it for a bodice. :smoke:

[Patsy Stone]

342. And

our dear bleever is MIA. So, for you, who would certainly drive us all home and make sure we got inside okay: :loveya:

And for you too, sparky -- a man who knows nice drunk liberal women in bibs or bodices when he sees them : :yourock:

[bleever]

349. I'm here! I'm here! And I reserve the right to arm-wrestle sparky

for Patsy's keys!

Just a wee shot of courage, and I'll be ready.

(Long work day.)

:hi:

[Patsy Stone]

357. You're Here!

and we're all liquored up -- and wearing bibs and thongs. :)

[bleever]

372. Dang, y'all must be mind-readers: my favorite combo!

:hi:

So sorry about that mattress. Who was driving a mattress, anyway?

Weird!

[Patsy Stone]

376. Dang?

That word cracks me up. It's a crazy world. Mattresses on the highway -- must be Friday!

:hi:

[bleever]

383. Have you seen sparky?

I think it’s almost wrasslin’ time!

(Of the non-homoerotic, SpongeBobless variety, of course).

:)

[Patsy Stone]

386. You betcha.

Do I hear banjos in the background? :)

[bleever]

404. KOEB goes canoeing: Droolin' Banjos.

:7

[sparky_in_ma]

389. Whew...

not that there's anything wrong with that. I've been driving some of the inebriated home. Sigh....now to start sweeping up. Bibs and bodices all over the place.

[gkhouston]

391. and whose fault is that, Sir Bodice-ripper?

You rip 'em, you sweep 'em.

[sparky_in_ma]

395. I'm not complaining at all

(sound of sparky furiously sweeping)

[bleever]

406. Pottery Barn Rule at the KOEB.

:7

[crispini]

419. LOL! nt

[Vadem]

449. You uns are killing me!!! LOL......ROT FLMAO!!!!.....n/t

[bleever]

455. Can someone make sure Vadem either gets home okay, or

has a comfortable spot fer crashin'?

:hi:

[gkhouston]

458. depends on your definition of "comfortable"? Will one of us do?

Just keep bumpin' and grindin' and stop talkin'. You're distracting us from the good stuff.

[gkhouston]

461. ah, the power of transference...

sometimes it feels so good to do unto others as they have done to me... not that you've ever treated me that way, bleev.

[Vadem]

500. Thank you so much bleever! You are such a gentleman, looking ..

out for the crazy ladies!....

[crispini]

367. hi bleever!

beer? :beer:

[bleever]

373. I'm passing the beer phase faster than KOEB crosses the line.

:hi:

[crispini]

381. LOL! nt

[Patsy Stone]

382. Sweetie, darling -- please...

:hi:

[bleever]

387. It's a lovely sight.

But less than half the size of my drugstore plastic jug bourbon.

Gotsta balance the “class” and “volume” factors sometimes.

:)

[Patsy Stone]

394. Quality over quantity

That's my motto. All of my years on this earth have taught me something. Also, take two aspirin before you go to bed. That's the BEST thing I've ever learned. :)

[gkhouston]

399. you forgot the bit about having some nonalcholic beverages

to avoid dehydration; also important.

[Patsy Stone]

403. Weakling!

Non-alcoholic beverages??? Which thread are you reading???? LOL.

:hi:

[gkhouston]

407. at the END of the night before going to bed

so you don't puke in the morning. More important than the aspirin, actually.

[Patsy Stone]

424. Girl

I LIVE for the aspirin. :)

[bear425]

447. Excedrin is the answer, grasshopper...always Excedrin. n/t

[Vadem]

505. No, no, no.......Excedrin will KILL you if you have been drinking.....

don't forget it! I'm with Patsy! Aspirin always!

[bear425]

522. What? I always take Excedrin. What do you mean it will KILL me?

Excedrin has aspirin in it, also. Ok, please tell me 'cause I have been drinking tonight. I won't take anything until I hear back. TY

[Patsy Stone]

430. Sorry, vodka typing badly:

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=203&topic_id=317483&mesg_id=318065&page=

This should have gone to you... Actually considering switching to water after this one, but I probably won't. :)

[gkhouston]

434. then you definitely WILL be living for the aspirin.

Good luck!

[bleever]

459. Water is good. Again: we're not the party of "Either/Or".

Big tent. Have water too.

[Patsy Stone]

465. What is this water of which you speak?

Typing becoming more difficult by the nanosecond. :)

[bleever]

471. Seek the water: it facilitates all else. n/t

[gkhouston]

472. all right, that was a buzz-killer. You're off the stage. Sparky.

Sparky!! Now where could he have wandered off to?

[bleever]

401. Sweetie, darling, quality AND quantity. Big tent, and all that.

:)

[gkhouston]

410. Big tent? Are you sweeping up bodices, too?

and re-living fond memories?

[bleever]

443. Well, I don't talk about my circus days much, but yeah.

:)

[seito]

So who's driving

or are we going to just have a KOEB slumber party at Patsy's?

[bleever]

427. Again with the Dang: I just dropped all the car keys into

the bank's night deposit box: My bad.

Looks we're stuck til 10 a.m. tomorrow.

Again, my bad. Bygones.

[gkhouston]

428. then you're providing the entertainment. Sparky, got any of

those "souvenir" veils from bettyellen handy? bleever's gonna dance for us.

[sparky_in_ma]

435. I've got the veils

I think I might have to step outside for that dance. No offense bleever.:)

[gkhouston]

437. well if YOU think you can do a better job of it than bleever

you're on.

[RevCheesehead]

454. Ummm.... I wanna see Sparky in a cop uniform.

Don't go too far off, sweetie. :loveya:

[gkhouston]

456. Sparky as an authority figure... yeah, that's pushing a couple of

my buttons too. Could be interesting.

[sparky_in_ma]

462. I've still got parts of it

but all that fits is the hat now.:-( I had a 30" waist back then, got a 34" now. (theme from Gypsy starts playing)

[gkhouston]

468. handcuffs? n/t

[sparky_in_ma]

474. Yup, still got them

I ripped the jacket when I tried to put it on last year. I'm only 180 now but I was 150 back then. I don't think I cut too imposing of a figure. Even my shadow wasn't scared of me, it came out even when it was cloudy.:)

[gkhouston]

479. 150 is pretty lean for a tallish guy. You must have blown away

in a high wind back in the old days.

I think the Rev is looking forward to a dance, if she's still up. :smoke:

[sparky_in_ma]

484. two bricks

one in each pocket. works everytime. unless it was a REAL strong wind.

[RevCheesehead]

490. I don't care if you can COMPLETELY wear it....

...you won't have it on that long, anyways! :evilgrin:


on edit: Don't forget the suspenders.

[sparky_in_ma]

496. If the patriots

weren't in the superbowl, I'd hafta go with green bay in your honor.:pals:

[gkhouston]

498. Rev, do you get the sense that someone is stalling and

trying to butter us up?

[RevCheesehead]

501. well, it never hurts to use a lubricant.

(did I just say that???)

[sparky_in_ma]

503. ok

I KNOW it's time someone handed over their keys.:)

[gkhouston]

506. oh, gross

if you're going to lube the keys, I am SO out of here. I really don't want to see what happens next.

[sparky_in_ma]

509. LOL

you are on a roll.

[Patsy Stone]

528. Who's voice was that? LOL... n/t

[bleever]

438. Dude, you're guarding the door for that part.

:thumbsup:

[sparky_in_ma]

446. No problem

but be carefull, they have been drinking.

[bleever]

436. Seriously, I did want to make it clear to anyone who read

Sharon’s thread this morning, that I was just joking, obviously, about the whole tattoo thing.

My contract prohibits me from getting any tattoos while employed as dancer with Chippendales Inc.

Just to be up front with you all, even though we joke.

:thumbsup:

[gkhouston]

442. aw, shucks. Does your contract have a clause about not

accepting tips from EDVs at private parties?

[txindy]

477. Well.

Talk about walking into the middle of a conversation!

Do tell!

;)

[Vadem]

512. Bleever, I'm so sorry--where are you? you can come to my house!

I have an extra bed!

[Patsy Stone]

444. You are all TOTALLY welcome!

The weather's cleared up and it's beautiful here. :)

[gkhouston]

445. Patsy darling! Stay tuned! Bleever beefcake coming right up!

get your tips ready!!

[Clark2008]

514. Quality vs. Quanity... is that anything like Size vs. Ability

Just wonderin'

;)

[Patsy Stone]

525. It's not the length

as much as the circumference -- according to the OB ads. And, have I mentioned I'm drunk? :)

[gkhouston]

529. true, true, and true. And don't bet the farm

on the shoe size thing, either. :smoke:

[Patsy Stone]

531. Right.

We all know it's the hands. :evilgrin:

[sparky_in_ma]

537. Nite ladies

this thread is even getting slow on my cable modem. It's been a fun nite, see you Monday.:hi:

[gkhouston]

540. Nite. Catch you some other night and you'd better dance! n/t

[seito]

543. Nite sparky

:hi:

[Patsy Stone]

547. Thanks for cleaning up all of the bodices laying around...

It can get pretty messy in here -- But it's a good kind of mess. :)

[RevCheesehead]

548. You know you're up too late when the bartender leaves.

Bye, sweetie! Have a great weekend! :hi:

(or are you just catching the re-run of the talking nipple?)

[Patsy Stone]

554. Last Call!

You don't have to go home, but you can't stay here. If you don't work here, or if you don't sleep with someone who works here, it's time to go...

Can you tell I've closed a few bars in my lifetime? Should I go to confession? Even if I'm Jewish? LOL.

[Clark2008]

541. You don't have to be drunk to know that's true!

I could go into graphic detail.

But, I won't.

Circumference, yes. That's all I will say! ;)

[Patsy Stone]

549. Have you ever seen that ad?

I pee everytime I see it:

Regular tampons were designed by a man: so they get longer.
OB tampons were designed by a woman: so they get wider.

Not joking... Funniest commercial EVER!!! LOL.

[gkhouston]

553. at last: the tampon that provides WHAT WOMEN WANT

snerk. Oy, I really am getting punchy. Nite. Got all your legs?

[Clark2008]

562. It's by O.B.

and yes... I saw it and had to chuckle rather silently as not to arouse the 5-year-old boy sitting in the floor playing. Heh!

He definately would have asked what was so funny!

Whaddar ya drinkin'? And, do you need another?

Oh, where's the pics of Simon?

I have Sgt. Pepper - my fourth Mustang. See, he's red like a pepper and, since he's the fourth (private, PFC, corporal, sergeant), he's, well Sgt. Pepper. ;) Straight-shift, 5-speed, 6-cyl (not a gas-guzzler, but still gets the job done).

I won't tell you how old it is, but I will tell you it only has 100,900 miles and is right as rain (OK... it's just a couple of years younger than one of my dogs and he's OLD).

[Patsy Stone]

570. That's funny.

I have to get the pics out of storage and the vodka's not helpin'. Will send via PM. Love Mustangs, btw...

:yourock:

[Clark2008]

586. I love the new Mustangs,

but, until my rich uncle gets out of the poor house, I shant be buying any car any time soon.

BTW, in my mind, there are two types of cars.

The cutie pies: Minis and VW Bugs
The redneck, ass-kicers: Mustangs, Cameros, Monte Carlos, etc.

Everything else is just driving. ;)

LOL!

[sparky_in_ma]

350. thanks Patsy

I'll drive those too unsober to drive. I'll try not to hit any mattress, on the road.
:evilgrin:

(glad you're ok)

[Patsy Stone]

359. Don't do it -- it sucked. :) n/t

[understandinglife]

368. Sure glad your ok, kiddo!!! Hope you are well past your 'limit'...

....by the time you're reading this and have a safe, fun weekend!!

Great 'return home' week for the KOEBers!!!

Here's one to celebrate that you were not injured :toast:


Peace.

[Patsy Stone]

379. Thanks, ul!

Couldn't take a breathalizer if I tried: not sure I could find the tube at this point. :)

[understandinglife]

589. Just glad to know you are ok!!!! (nt)

[merh]

246. I have heard the saying "its time to hit the rack" when they were

ready for bed, but I have never heard of anyone literally hitting the mattress and with their car no less! My gosh Patsy, I am glad you are okay! Some people fill their descriptions of their day with fluff, but you story is not a fluff piece. Glad it didn't get you down to badly! May you take comfort in your warm, safe home on the KOEB thread!

I was in my bosses car on Monday, we were on the way to lunch when we were rearended! It is just not the week for vehicles, is it?

:hug: Glad you are safe and unharmed!

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

[Patsy Stone]

271. Thanks.

It sounds worse than it was. More annoying than dangerous. Still, I'm drinking. That sucks that you were rear-ended, are you okay? You seem well enough to :loveya: :)

:hi:

ed: because these threads move too damn fast.

[crispini]

259. OMG, Patsy!

I'm so glad you're ok! How scary was that?! :scared:

[Patsy Stone]

273. The question that went through my mind

as I'm sitting in the lane -- on the mattress -- was: What now?

LOL!

[bunny planet]

264. Awww Pats, that sounds scary. I'm glad you are alright.

How's the mini (is that a Mini Cooper?) My best friend has a spiffy aqua Mini, that car is so cute.

[Patsy Stone]

275. Cutest.Car.Ever. Hi, bunny!

We (me and Simon: the car) are both resting comfortably. :)

[Clark2008]

284. I love MINI's!

My son got a pack of matchbox cars and gave me the little red Mini out of it. It has a Union Jack on the roof. LOL!

And, of course, you have to name it Simon - only English people are named Simon!

"Well, you know my name is Simon. And I like to do drawrings."

:)

[Patsy Stone]

Mine has the Union Jack on the roof.

And I debated between Simon and Nigel... LOL
That's exactly who it's named after: Cheeky Monkey! :toast:

[Clark2008]

344. I knew that because we were separated at birth.

:)

I mean, other than Idol, we could finish each others...

[Patsy Stone]

347. I'm glad you didn't guess Simon Cowell

although I do love him.

I'll send you pictures of my little baby. :)

[merh]

299. I thought that was what caused the problem --

Simon wanted to rest on the mattress at an inopportune time and a very inconvenient place! Did you bring the mattress home for Simon? :freak:


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

[Patsy Stone]

308. You were right though

It did give a whole new meaning to "hitting the mattresses". :)

[seito]

175. OMG

glad you are ok

[sparky_in_ma]

2. Hi Ladies and Steph, who is also a lady

:hi: :loveya: :loveya:

edit to correct my tongue being tied

[seito]

13. lol

Hi sparky :hi:

[sparky_in_ma]

40. Hi seito

I believe it's good to see you.:hi:

[Clark2008]

83. Steph isn't a lady?

Hee hee...

[gkhouston]

and how does Sparky know she isn't? n/t

[sparky_in_ma]

I knew

someone would catch it.:) I didn't mean it that way Steph!:loveya:

[news_junkie]

3. Hi Patsy

[Patsy Stone]

Hey, NJ! Happy Friday... n/t

[crispini]

4. Hi ladies!

I'm here on time tonight!

Tell me that's not the gray suit.

[Patsy Stone]

11. Couldn't get it out fast enough!

Ugh, KO. Pleeeeeze.

[greenmutha]

52. Maybe he read the thread from last nite and did it on purpose?

Naahhhh... couldn't be that.

[Patsy Stone]

76. That was my first thought.

But why would they be so cruel on purpose when they know we love him so?

:loveya: even in that suit.

[greenmutha]

79. Snarkiness? n/t

[Patsy Stone]

5. Poor Dean Wormer!

Hello, ladies and lovely gentlemen...

Happy Friday!!! :toast:

[SharonRB]

6. Uh oh, the grey suit is back!

[Gogi]

88. ROTFLMAO

Eom

[bear425]

452. I could almost hear all of us saying the same thing at the same time...

Oh, no. NOT the grey suit! Actually, I think he still looks great, no matter what color suit. Although, I do prefer the dark ones.

:loveya:

[troubleinwinter]

7. OK kids, I'm here, dressed in my new skimpy outfit and READY TO DROOL!

[Patsy Stone]

Funny, but I loved the mug! Hi! :) n/t

[SharonRB]

37. I liked the mug, too

Is cafepress.com troubleinwinter's own site?

[Patsy Stone]

62. Nope

But I think you can make anything you want (with anything on it) there.
:hi:

[SharonRB]

98. That's pretty cool.

[sparky_in_ma]

20. Is that the outfit you talked about?

Just that, right.:) Grey suit does look icky tonite.

[Patsy Stone]

31. You tell him, sparky!

That doesn't look like she's wearing a bodice, though. :evilgrin:

[cry baby]

36. The suit may look less than desirable, but Keef, my lover, looks

incredible!! Hope someone posts your pic again, sparky!

It's hot!

[sparky_in_ma]

49. blush

:pals:

[Patsy Stone]

388. Here you are cry baby

He's still in my folder:

[cry baby]

610. Thanks, Patsy, he really is cute isn't he!

I can't believe this thread has so many posts - the KOEB was (and is) in rare form.

[crispini]

24. Bwahahahahahahaha!

You're too much.

Why don't you put it on a thong? :evilgrin:

[troubleinwinter]

64. Like this?

[sparky_in_ma]

73. OMG

:loveya:

[gkhouston]

101. that's another modeling assignment for you... but you can do

the suspenders pic first if you want.

[Vadem]

527. No! Must be pink!....n/t

[seito]

33. ROFL n/t

[greenmutha]

39. Do these come in adult size?

:thumbsup:

[Shopaholic]

105. It's official-we have crossed the line

with that one! LOL.

[greenmutha]

This and the thong... what a great outfit!

And mug in hand, filled with a delectable adult beverage, of course.

[txindy]

265. It'd better be a WARM beverage because that outfit sure isn't!

She's gonna catch a chill. ;)

[gkhouston]

281. in that outfit, someone will quickly volunteer to

help her stay warm. :9

[txindy]

Maybe that 'someone' should have a COLD beverage, then. LOL!

[greenmutha]

316. No way. I'm a hot mama!

Those post-menopausal flashes keep ya mighty warm. And so does KEEF! :loveya: :loveya: :loveya:

[crispini]

293. Complete with matching restraining orders. :P

:silly:

[greenmutha]

320. LOL! n/t

[Patsy Stone]

324. Did somebody say "restraining order"?

Did you call Botany? :evilgrin:

Who predicted in that other thread that he wouldn't be here tonight? Whoever it was -- YOU WIN! :)

[gkhouston]

327. it was me.... what do I win? n/t

[Patsy Stone]

334. Will this do?

[gkhouston]

341. aww... I always wonder what he's about to say in this picture...

yeah, that'll do.

[Patsy Stone]

345. I think it's: May I please have another Scotch and soda? n/t ;)

[crispini]

348. Tee hee!

Is that his drink, really?

Mine's vodka tonic. :toast: You know you're a regular when the bartender fixes your drink without asking. :evilgrin:

[Patsy Stone]

354. I don't know

but he seems like a "single malt/port barrel" kinda guy. You know who would know, though? Hey, Shop???? What's the man drinkin'????

:)

[RevCheesehead]

366. I thought it was "I lost my damned mattress on the freeway today."

Sorry, Pats, I couldn't resist! :evilgrin:

[Patsy Stone]

371. LMAO

I'm just glad I didn't hit him...

:hi:

[bleever]

378. Hi Rev! I ordain this post: hilarious!

Since we know Pats is okay.

But I’m hardly catching up; how is Simon?

:hi:

[Patsy Stone]

400. Alignment may be iffy and

so might the spelling of alignment. Vodka is not good for three syllable words. :)

[gkhouston]

405. sure it is. It can take any one-syllable word and

make it three syllables long. Or more. :crazy:

[crispini]

417. ROFL! nt

[bleever]

415. Whereas, bourbon's a pretty good speller. Definitely check

alignment.

Shoot, I can't think about "alignment" "rack and pinion" or "CV boots" without it seeming like a double-entendre.

TGIF!

:hi:

[Patsy Stone]

423. You're not drinking enough

if you can still spell "entendre". :)

[bleever]

432. Gotta drink that French right outta my head.

I'll have freedom toast in the morning.

:)

[Patsy Stone]

440. Freedom Vodka

God bless 'em. :)

[bunny planet]

270. line, what line, I don't see a line.

[txindy]

296. Only because we passed it at warp speed.

[seito]

325. Is this not the bunny that coined the phrase

pre-mature floatoculations?

I think this bunny knows no lines.

[txindy]

339. ROFL!!! n/t

[bunny planet]

363. that would be me!!!!!

[merh]

8. It's KOEB time, it's KOEB time ...

We love you Keef, oh yes we DU!!!!!!!!!

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

[seito]

180. Hi mehr

Here's some more of those...

Ahhh Keef :loveya: :loveya: :loveya::loveya: :loveya: :loveya:

[seito]

9. Greetings and Salutations

:loveya: :loveya: :loveya:

[hangemhigh]

10. Hi Patsy, hi girls.

I'm just now reading the story about the NYT killing the Bush bulge story-OMFG!!!

[Clark2008]

12. Hello!

The gray suit is back!

I still love that Keith, though...

It is just a small clue that you are a troll if your avatar is either Lieberman or Alberto Gonzoles.

[Patsy Stone]

153. Did you know

It's at least the second time she's done this? I'll try to find the other thread.

[SharonRB]

182. We've only had our progressive talk station

I'm warning you -- don't start. It's a downward spiral. Soon, we'll all move to move KOA meetings. :)

The grey suit lives. Maybe it was given to him by a relative.

I'm just checking in. The TV is downstairs, so be back later to chat with y'all.

Maybe it's from his other fans!

46. wtf? McCartney really couldn't do "I Saw Her Standing There"

That song wasn't too racy over 40 years ago but he can't sing it now? Jeez, what decade are we aiming for? 1890? Are we still allowed to expose our ankles in public?

I live in a dry county in Texas. Can you pass it this way?
Wonder how long it will be before the rest of the country is dry?

So they bring the nation's attention to it even though it would've passed mostly unnoticed without all of their yelling and screaming. :eyes:

69. I don't get it. Considering the amount of partial boobs you see

on TV every day, why is this such a big deal? They shove tits in our face all the time and now suddenly everyone's shocked, shocked...

[bunny planet]

298. its the nip that they can't deal with. That nip makes them real uncomforta

ble.

[gkhouston]

335. she had some sort of ornament covering that which

is a really big hint that the "malfunction" was not such an accident. The last time I wore anything tucked inside my bra it was to catch milk drips!

274. Poppy

why do you think woodward is so kind to the weed, he owes poppy!

Just my opinion!

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

[understandinglife]

356. Fully agree 'merh.' I have often thought it was George Sr.

He was chairman of the RNC at the time. At times I vacilated between George Sr and Kissinger, but I think Kissinger just had too much skin in Tricky's game to rat-out the fink.

In the now well-documented Cabinet meeting, when RMN hoped he could overwhelm those that he knew wanted him to go, as Gerald Ford was dropping the hammer, George Sr. was probably the most aggressive in urging Nixon to resign.

The person who actually revealed the existence of the tapes, Alexander Butterfield, might be a candidate, but I still think it was "Poppy."

Irony of ironies is that "Poppy" is soon going to need to be giving his son the same advice, though the scale of the crimes of W are of such magnitude, resigning is not going to keep his butt out of prison.

Peace and here's one to the wonderful KOEBers for their 'first friday' back home :toast:

Ah, let's make that two :toast:

TBO;24/7

[Nothing Without Hope]

392. Hello UL! So good to see you drop by with your toasts

and always-interesting thoughts. Before you and merh suggested it here a minute ago, I had not considered Poppy as a possible Deep Throat. He always seemed too wizened, too characterless to do something so bold. But it is an interesting idea, and many dangerous creatures do don camouflage of some sort to cover their true natures.

Interesting, what you said:
Irony of ironies is that "Poppy" is soon going to need to be giving his son the same advice, though the scale of the crimes of W are of such magnitude, resigning is not going to keep his butt out of prison.
Oh I hope so, I hope so with all my heart! At times it seems so nearly impossible, but if he and his goons don't get kicked out, it will be the death of this nation. And with the corrupted corporate media, most of the people aren't even aware of the depth of the lies and distortions they are fed on every day. It's "Freedom from Reality."

And thanks again for your warm welcome to the KOEB. Tonight I can only post a few times because I came in late and my connection is so slow. It takes forever to load the thread and then freezes repeatedly and has to be rebooted. But it's worth the frustration to participate.

Be well.

[understandinglife]

587. Thank you NWH!! Always happy to exchange thoughts with you! and..

.....it must indeed be really difficult with threads like this.

I think the KOEBers are almost to 600 posts!!! That is amazing!!

Peace.

[txindy]

411. Poppy must've borrowed James Earl Jones' voice, then. No deep throat there

You may well be right, but I sure wouldn't give Senior the nickname "Deep Throat." More like "Squeak Throat." Or, more accurately, "Nasal Throat."

[merh]

451. They probably gave him the nickname after watching the

porn movie "Deep throat" with him. Wasn't that movie out about that time?

[txindy]

464. I remember the name, but beyond that

:shrug: I thought he got the name because of his voice over the telephone, giving W&B their tips.

[merh]

475. Okay, using that thinking, the voice over the phone

if you are protecting your source and don't want anyone to figure out who he is and he has a high pitched, nasal voice, would you call him deep throat as a cover? :shrug: It works better than nasal throat or squeaky voice and folks that work with someone with a nasal, squeaky voice would know right away that he was the leak.

Just my theories, may be no legitimacy to any of them! I just know woodward kisses the asses of the BFEE and poppy had dirt on every repuke imaginable. Nixon overlooked him for VP, they always get revenge, no matter the cost and they always "come out smelling like roses" after they dump their trash.

Have a beer! :beer: We will wait to see what the news brings us on Sunday. Whatever it is, it is still their smoke screen, an effort to distract from all of their crimes.

:toast: :beer:

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

[gkhouston]

483. and it still gives KO an excuse to talk about Watergate and

impeachment on a frequent basis, which is all to the good.

[txindy]

502. It certainly would explain Woodward's current adulation of Poppy

You may well be on to something. The nickname "Deep Throat" could indeed have been an inside joke, meaning the exact opposite of the person's real voice. I never thought of that. Good catch!

Thanks for the beer! Cheers!

[merh]

510. Just a theory, you know us blogworld inhabitants . . .

we love a good theory! :tinfoilhat:

Like I said, something about all this watergate stuff coming up now in the press is just too odd and WHY did they give the investigative files to a Texas U? :freak: Why the heck Texas? What's the connection? :shrug:

I think I will have what you are drinking, it looks good to me!

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

[txindy]

526. If this is in spite of Poppy and not with his approval, UT makes sense

Senior's library is at A&M and that's UT's biggest in-state rival in....well, everything. So, if W&B released this info. without Poppy's approval (assuming, of course, that it's him), giving it to UT is the best kick-in-the-pants imaginable. Trust me. If it's true and he really is Deep Throat, A&M will have a whole herd of cows about the snub. One of the most important historical exhibits relating to Senior and it's at UT? The horror! The horror!



Now I really hope you're right!

Cheers!

[merh]

538. Which one is known for the nasty hand job?

Oh, I mean the evil fingers that the weed and pickles and tweedle-le-de and tweedle-le-dum do? :shrug:

[gkhouston]

542. UT has the hook 'em horns hand gesture that looks like the

devil sign, although A&M's Gig 'em Aggies isn't a lot better.

[merh]

551. My gosh, there are rival hand gestures?

Holy Moly! I had no idea! My mother was a Texan. She always told me that the "hook 'em" horns meant bullshit! When Elvis gave the "I love you" sign during his televised concert, she was appaulled. She thought he was giving the "hook 'em" horns. LOL

I don't think I have ever seen the Aggies hand gesture. :shrug:

So poppy's university is A&M, but weed and them salute UT? Does that cause the alumni great pain or are they just trying to dominate all of the Texas universities?

[gkhouston]

556. I don't know what the alumni think of it

since UT is such a big school in Texas and blivet** was the governor, I guess that makes it okay for him to do the hook 'em horns thing.

[merh]

578. Or so he thinks

and as we all know, that is all that matters, what he thinks! :puke:

[understandinglife]

561. These guys are 'drug store cowboys' as far as any 'real' Texan...

....is concerned.

And, by the way, I spent the first 22 years of my life in San Antonio and Austin and dudes like W and his wimp-ass dad are the perfect parody of the 'drug-store cow-poke.' :puke:

Once a phony; always a phony.


Peace.

[merh]

572. My brother attended Saint Anthony's and went on to St. Mary's

for a year or so. He thought he wanted to be a priest, but decided that he liked women way to much. Also, he couldn't stand it when the priests told him who he could be friends with. Just a little personal trivia!

[understandinglife]

577. Now, that is a most interesting bit of information. Did he graduate...

....from St Mary's in 1969?

Peace.

[merh]

582. Let's see, Hurricane Camille was in 1969 and I remember

how hard it was to leave the MS Gulf Coast to get him back to San Antonio for the start of the school year, but I believe we were driving him to St. Anthony's. :think: I think it would have been '69 or '70 that he was graduated from St. Anthony's. :freak:

[understandinglife]

585. Most interesting, indeed, as I graduated from St Anthony's in ....

....1961 and St Mary's in 1969. Most interesting! :)

Peace.

[merh]

590. Do you remember Father Dooley?

He was a frequent house guest. He used to tell us the best jokes and how he enjoyed his beers! :beer:

my time frame....

[merh]

597. How about that - 40's it is for me!

Small world, ain't it! :hi:

[txindy]

550. UT has the Hook Em Horns sign, imitating the mascot Longhorn's horns

A&M gives a thumbs-up which signifies 'Gig 'Em', as in, rip out a frog's throat with a metal tool.

Now, you tell me, which one is nasty and evil, hmmm? ;)

And, no, I don't know why Junior does the Hook 'Em sign. The Law School rejected his sorry self. I guess it's identifying with the state or something. :shrug: I'd rather he 'Gig 'Em', myself. UT is much too liberal for the likes of Junior. A&M is his kind of place. Hence the LBJ Library at UT and the Poppy library in Aggieland.

[merh]

598. Thanks for the explanation.

I can understand why the Law School rejected him. Despite what he spouts from those tiny, almost non-existent lying lips of his, lawyers do have ethics. Guess that is why he is so big on tort reform and punishing lawyers, they rejected him! Such a spiteful family! :argh:

[merh]

535. Nixon said that Barbara was someone who "knows how to hate."

I always wondered just how he knew that. She certainly passed on that gene to her eldest now, didn't she?

[understandinglife]

518. Precisely. And it was 'showing' in several DC area theaters at the time...

...be discrete and don't ask me how I know :evilgrin:

Peace.

[merh]

533. ROFLMAO - tears in my eyes

Gee doc, I am sure that you are just recalling all of the "press" coverage of that vulgar film! I am sure your recall is based on the very innocent recollections of your youth! ;-)

Can you just picture Bernstein/Woodward meeting their source (poppy?) at the porn movie? Not only did the info that was given to them blow their minds, but the irony of the "family" man with the squeaking image stopping to watch with intense interests certain scenes probably left such an impression that they couldn't resist the nickname.

LOL, who knows and then again, who will ever know the truth? :shrug:

[understandinglife]

555. So very glad I can be a bit of a source of humor for all my KOEBer ...

...friends!!

We lived in Georgetown from 1971 to 1979. One of 'the President's men' lived across the street. Many others lived in the 'neighborhood.'

An amazing time.

And, rumor had it that all kinds of 'up-scale' folk drove to the near-by VI and MD theaters for various 'avant guard' cinema -- chuckle, chuckle, chuckle.....some of whom may have even 'squeaked' when they chuckled.

Who's to know; who's to ever know :shrug:

Peace.

[merh]

426. Good to see you doc!

So Keef says something will be in the Sunday papers about Deep Throat and he knows, but he can't tell us.

They open the Woodward and Bernstein watergate investigative file at a TEXAS university today. (What newspaper did they work for when they broke the watergate story? Why not a university in that state? Why Texas?)

Woodward is far to kind to the weed that would be king. One would think that a "true" investigative journalist like woodward or bernstein would investigate the crimes of this admin, instead, Woodward covers the weed's ass and never says anything negative about him. If you listen to the man talk, you have to wonder how he was part of the crack team that broke the story (he should like a moron, he is slow as if he has had a stroke, but one wonders if he has always been this slow). They were "given" the story, they owe their source their reputations and their fortunes. Poppy was in the right place at the right time and he "salvaged the party" (only to have reagan still the post from him). Poppy has always been feared by the top party members, that's why he got VP and then Pres - he was actually a nobody and his personality sucks. Folks make fun of Kerry as having no "public persona" well poppy is a wet wash rag, link and lifeless in public, almost too feminine.

I fear they are uncovering all of the Watergate news as a smoke screen, to distract us from their own "gates" (Plame, Gannon, Election Fraud, Iraq) and to prove to the nation how they were so involved in saving our nation from the fraud of Nixon. How opportune would it be to let the world know that poppy saved us from the disgrace that was tricky dick and how he salvaged his party!

That's my fear. I could be way off base, but then again, can we put anything past this bunch?

I'll have that drink now! :beer: I toast you and all KOEBer's and all members of our blogworld knowns as DU! :toast:

:beer:

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

[RevCheesehead]

482. Woodward is a bit of a mystery.

(He & Carl worked the Washington Post.)

He wrote a book on Iran-Contra that was pretty informative for its time - but not much came of it. When I read it, I wondered if Bill Casey was Deep Throat. But, alas, he's dead, and he ain't the one.

It would be like Poppy to play both sides of the fence. I've been reading Kitty Kelley's book, and am up to the part about Poppy and the post-Watergate years. He really thought that his loyalty to the party would have made him Ford's choice for VP (not Rockefeller). It was only right before Nixon resigned that Poppy wrote him a letter, urging him to resign "for the good of the nation." Kitty's observations were "too little, too late" - and typical Poppy, playing both sides of the fence, hoping to profit from it.

Then Ford appointed Poppy to the CIA. And when Carter won the election, he was pissed that he wasn't going to stay on. Jimmy made some snarky comment about Poppy's recommendations, saying that he didn't think it was important, since Poppy would probably be president by then and could handle things himself.

But, back to Woodward. He's apparently a Republican. Hard to believe, but true. And he has been remarkably restrained dealing with the shrub. Maybe loyalty has a price.

[understandinglife]

567. "Rev" & "merh" and everyone else -- I suggest you focus on John Dean (nt)

TBO;24/7

But dismissed it when he became part of the focus.

You're probably on to something, Doc.

583. Perhaps.Maybe.You KOEBers.Can.Get.KO.To.Ask.Him!!!!! Talk about...

....Pulitzer prize.

KO would get several for an honest answer to "Poppy is you -- cough, cough, spit -- Deep Throat?"

:evilgrin:


Peace.

[bleever]

421. See, this what I love about DU: evening lurching around the noisiest

room on Friday night, amongst all the brilliantly hilarious banter, you're not surprised to run into a group discussing profound things, and adding knowledge to your own files.

God Bless DU. Can I get you guys something?

: )

[merh]

431. It's like a very friendly cocktail party with good friends,

fun banter, warm hugs :hug: and in one corner, if not two, there are in depth conversations about worldly events. We discuss, we share, we vent and we laugh! God, how I love this party.

Another beer if you don't mind bleever! :beer:
You are a sweetheart! :toast:


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

[Sydnie]

470. I have trouble believeing it was Poppy

With his ego he would have been hard pressed to keep it to himself all these years.

Didn't a white house secretary die recently? I have always heard that they (B&W) promised not to reveal the name until the person died. I swear I remember very recently that a white house secretary died... might have even been Nixons?

[gkhouston]

476. Rosemary Woods? Rosemary Woods was DEEP THROAT??

wouldn't that be a hell of a turn! I'm having difficulty believing it was Poppy unless it was some sort of convoluted power trip that didn't pay off in the expected manner... say, for example, because Jimmy Carter was nowhere in his calculations.

[Sydnie]

488. Was she the secretary that died recently?

Sorry... have a terrible memory for names lately.

It would make sense wouldn't it? She would hear lots of conversations and have knowledge of the tapes most likely.

[gkhouston]

494. Yes, she was the loyal secretary who tried to cover up

for the 18-minute gap by explaining how she could have accidentally erased part of the tape.

[understandinglife]

573. In 1976, I assure you, Jimmy Carter was "NO WHERE IN ANYONE'S ...."

....CALCULATIONS" -- especially no one living 'inside the beltway.'

I know.

I was there.

He shocked the s*%t out of everyone. (message: the unpredictable can happen, especially if you have the passion of a Jimmy Carter -- don't ever forget that).


Peace.

TBO;24/7

[understandinglife]

576. NO WAY (nt)

[merh]

493. Nixon's secretary did die recently. As did Fred LaRue, the

bag man. Nixon's secretary was devoted to him and, if I am not mistaken, she actually accidently "erased" tapes that protected him. Even if Sunday's news reveals she was "deep throat" I wouldn't be surprised, she will be just another convenient fall guy. Or maybe they will say that she gave the info to poppy, who out of love and respect for the woman that loved our nation above all else, protected her identity until her death, as promised. All of the watergate news is much too convenient for me. Something is up. Will they try to make themselves the heros of watergate and distract us from the crimes of this admin? Poppy may have an ego, but his drive to control overrides his ego. He hated the Reagans, but you would never know it from his public tears. Rove is not the mastermind, poppy is and has been since the 60's. (imho)

:beer:

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

[Sydnie]

507. I suspect it was her.

If she loved Nixon as much as they say she did, but loved her country more, she might have wanted to see him out of office while never allowing the smoking gun (the 5 minutes she admits to erasing and the other 13 that no one will admit to erasing) to ever see the light of day. Perhaps she thought she would be sparing the family further humilation while protecting the country that she loved to serve.

Being that close to the family ( She was so close to Nixon and his wife Pat that the president one time said, "Rose ... is as close to us as family."), she would be in a position to know many secrets not just political ones, right? Wonder what else she knew and never spoke?

[sparky_in_ma]

515. Hmmmm...

I've been thinking about everything being said. I'm not sure about her. A lot of the info they got didn't seem likely to have crossed her desk when I first looked at it. I need to read the book again to look at it in a different light. You could be correct

[gkhouston]

519. well there's the stuff you know she would have seen and

then there's stuff she might have overheard but not been required to type memos about, etc. In some ways, she seems more plausible than Poppy, but perhaps I'm liking the hook of a secretary with conflicting loyalties, although personally, I would have hung his ass out to dry and been done with it.

[merh]

517. She loved him and his family way too much to be the one.

Look at all the folks that work for or have worked for the BFEE. They love the nation, but not a one will come out against the evil ones. Why? Is it fear or an undying love that they have for them? :shrug: Like I said, the big kicker for me is woodward. He is far too kind to the weed and to poppy. Why? What does he owe them? What do they have on him? His book on the weed and his protection of him every time interviewed is just too damned disturbing and it gave the weed such credibility. I mean if the man who broke the watergate story says the weed is good, well, he must be!?! :shrug: :puke:


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

[Sydnie]

534. Well, it could very well be a case of what they have against him

Poppy had all those G-Men that could dig up all the dirt they wanted. Goodness knows, Hoover taught them how to do it very well.

Perhaps there was a skeleton in his closet that they are holding over his head. A man like that had nothing more important than his journalistic integrity and personal reputation. He made his big bones on Watergate but could have been hushed about any further revelations about anybody involved in the GHWB family or circle.

Poppy was VERY outspoken in his support for Nixon in public. I don't think I ever remember hearing him speak publicly about Watergate at all (although I imagine that he had/did).

Woods would have had unquestioned access to anything because she was trusted by Nixon. And Linda Lovelace was a woman -- thus the use of that code name maybe?

It will be interesting if and when they finally let this cat out of the bag, won't it?

[merh]

544. Poppy was the one that insisted tricky dicky resign.

Just like with St. Raygun, poppy never speaks badly of any GOPer in public, but behind closed doors, well, that is another story!

It will be interesting to see what spin is put on this story! Who knows if we will ever know the truth? :shrug:

[Sydnie]

559. Very interesting watching the rerun of tonights show

When they show Nixon and Keef is talking about it, they cut to the crowd waving goodbye and guess who they have center frame?

Rosemary Woods!

I went to get a peek at what she looked like then when that part of the show was on again... an low and behold... she is in that shot!

Here's her pic http://www.cbc.ca/story/world/national/2005/01/23/woods050123.html

Now how the hell do I get a screen shot from my tivo of the show?

I think Keef was sending us a clue!

[merh]

574. It could well be Rosemary Woods that they tell us was

"deep throat". It won't surprise me, but, it also won't surprise me if poppy is involved, in some way. They have to take advantage of the media coverage that will come from this.

Edited for typos! Long day and too many cocktails at this party! Thanks, I would love another! :beer:

[merh]

607. Check out this article in LBN

I didn't realize that this was posted when we were discussing this earlier.

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=102x1213645

[Pirate Smile]

65. Hilarious. He showed Dean's comment about seeing boobies being

nothing unusual to him. Haa Haa.

Keith is on fire tonight.

:loveya: :loveya: :loveya:

I loved his reciting of McCartney's lyrics.

[hangemhigh]

70. He is totally on his game tonight-too funny! nt

[Greylyn58]

71. Checking In for the Friday KO Hoedown

and he's looking good as always.

I love his sense of humor. :+

:loveya: :loveya: :loveya: Keith

[bunny planet]

75. Oh no he di'int, he is wearing the light gray suit again.

I knew I shouldn't have suggested last night that he would do it just to mess with us. He is so mischievous. Bad, bad, Keef.

And Doogie Hauser for FCC chaiman.

Best line so far, during the JJ 'breast in show' seggie, Michael Musto with 'it's not a real nipple anyway, it's made out of skin from Michael's old noses." ROFLAO!!!!!

[sparky_in_ma]

80. It's never fun to kill a human being!! n/t

[Shopaholic]

82. Did not the potential new FCC chairman look like your typical

"Young Republican?"

[txindy]

110. He certainly did. Very telling that they picked him to avoid hearings

As if he wasn't placed there previously for precisely that reason.

[Clark2008]

166. Yeah - complete with the

GOLD NEAT TIE!

I kept telling you guys that tie looked like it belonged on a Young Republican!!

:)

[RevCheesehead]

190. You got that right, Clarkie!

Sometimes God makes things not available on purpose. :evilgrin:

[gkhouston]

that wasn't gold neat. It was an even uglier cousin of GN

but I agree it came from Jos. A Banks -- so did the tie Leno was wearing on Monday. It's terrible, I'm seeing ties on men and knowing where they came from!

[Shopaholic]

237. As the person who suggested Gold Neat, I still like it,

I always liked it, and I refuse to apologize for picking it. And I'd like to remind you it was the popular choice when put up for a vote!

[gkhouston]

278. Sorry if I offended you. I didn't actually think GN was ugly, just

a bit on the "safe and boring" side, but for what we needed (tie for a man we didn't know who needed to wear the tie in a pretty conventional work environment), I thought it was a good fit. That's why it was a popular consensus choice in the polls, I think, although the stripey tie might have done well, too.

[Shopaholic]

315. I chose it because it had blue in it

and I think he looks great when he wears blue shirts. It looked similar to one he wears a lot on air so I figured it would be something he'd actually wear.

I'm just tired of seeing crap thrown at my choice every single time I log on to these threads. It was obviously popular with a great many people and you're not only insulting me, you're also insulting them every single time you mention how "awful" it was.

[sparky_in_ma]

328. Hi Shopaholic

I gotta admit, I voted for it too. Hey, that was the poll consenus also. And he WORE it.:pals:

[Shopaholic]

346. I didn't realize that there was an open vote for the final choice

after Gold Neat was eliminated from the competition. So you got to vote on the black/cream number and I didn't and I contributed to the damn thing????? I'm not saying I didn't like the final choice-it was fine--it was lovely. But it would have been nice to have had a vote since quite obviously those involved were greater in number than I was originally led to believe given the fact you were invited to vote for it and I wasn't.

[sparky_in_ma]

360. I misunderstood your reply

I voted on the posted poll, for the gold neat. Check my post. Sometimes I type too fast.:-(

(being a guy, I'm not real color-blind, but my eyes saw the tie he had on as the Gold neat. In Iwefrn's avatar that's what I see too.)

[gkhouston]

370. No, I had nothing to do with the black/cream tie selection,

other than having originally pointed Patsy to that website days before. I have no idea who was in on that vote.

[troubleinwinter]

592. I always loved Gold Neat. Always did. When it was unavailable,

an "executive decision" was made, because of time issues (no vote). I think the final choice may not have been the most exciting, but it is elegant and tasteful, and it was, after all, a gift to represent our birthday wishes.

All-in-all, a nice thing.

[gkhouston]

358. Actually, I voted for it. I even campaigned for it, once it was

clear that was a consensus choice. But a lot of the people who voted for it didn't do so because it was their number one favorite tie; it was simply the one the most people could agree on. That means there are people out there who weren't that fond of it. For what it's worth, every tie suggestion I put forth got shot down in about ten seconds. Yours won the poll and would have been ordered if we'd gotten our ducks in a row in time, so you're way ahead of my tie choices any day of the week.

[Shopaholic]

380. I'm just tired of coming to the KOEB threads and see others take

slams at it. Fine, you didn't like it. I get it. But is it necessary to slam it at every available opportunity? I hated some of those god-awful psychadelic, tie-dye trippy choices that others suggested--but you never saw me be so damn blunt about why I hated them until now, because I didn't want to hurt anyone's feelings by coming out and saying, "That's the ugliest damn thing I've ever seen", or 'What, are you completely color-blind and fashion clueless?" which is exactly what I thought after seeing some of the choices being pushed aggressively by some here. This is not about my choice NOT being chosen, it's about the continued jabs taken at it when it should be a CLOSED discussion.

[Clark2008]

397. I just scanned the thread and no one said it was awful

I was never shy about admitting WHY I didn't like it - which was the same as I posted above.
I never said it was awful... I said it looked like a Young Republican - and that guy (nearly) proved the point I was making.

Please, go get another drink and chill, hon! No one said it was awful and no one set out to hurt anyone's feelings. I simply never liked the tie and the world would be awfully boring if everyone liked the exact same things! Diversity is harmonic!

:hug:

[Shopaholic]

413. Clark--this is the second or third night in a row

it's happened. I can let one night go but when it's repeated--let's just say that I have a far more difficult time "chilling".

[Clark2008]

523. It's the first night I've said anything about it

That's all I can attest to.

Sorry.

I'm on dial up and miss about half the conversation, anyway.

[bunny planet]

321. LOL!

I bought my hub five ties during that week. He was like my personal lab rat experiment with neckwear.

[bunny planet]

306. like Ralph Reed's younger brother.

:puke:

[SharonRB]

85. I guess it wasn't just me who

thought he looked like he was 12.

[seito]

97. That is exactly why he wore it

:evilgrin:

Keef, we love you, no matter what you got on. We just don't think gray is your best color. :)

[golden voyages]

116. Please clue in the newbie -- what's the deal with the gray suit?

[sparky_in_ma]

124. It's his worst looking suit n/t

[gkhouston]

and I really hoped he'd retired it when I saw

the new one on him the other night. Bad Keef! :spank: :spank: :spank:

[bettyellen]

211. no, he has a lighter one we hate more..... that one i am sure is gone!

how are ya, sparks?
:hi:

[sparky_in_ma]

230. Hi bettyellen

Care to let me get you drunk tonite?O8)

[bunny planet]

140. love your name newbie

Welcome!:hi:

[Patsy Stone]

78. This Marine...

It's all a hoot. It's fun to shoot people?

Very special...

[McCamy Taylor]

81. Just wait, recruitment will increase.

:nuke:

[Patsy Stone]

113. But I thought that they didn't

make the recruiting numbers for this period? It's more like the draft will return. :mad:

[noamnety]

89. As a vet, that sickened me

I expect some young recruits to talk like that. But not the leadership. It's like hearing an IBM exec giving a press conference talking about how sexual harassment is great fun.

He's supposed to be setting the standard.

And I'm not appreciating the comments of the apologist being interviewed.

[flyarm]

130. the thing that disgusted me...

was that the sickos in the audience all laughed at his comment...ohhh the sickos on the other side ...i guess they just hate boobs on janet jackson and love shooting people for recreation!!

yep..boobs are bad..sport shooting human beings..thats aok with the reich wing!

hi all!!:hi: :loveya: ..fly

[noamnety]

148. I didn't understand that either

But I still have a stupid notion of "honor" from my days in the military. Maybe it's time to let it go.

[understandinglife]

420. Don't let it go. I was so offended. I was a junior officer in the Navy....

.....but, because of where I was stationed, I knew many senior officers. None of them would ever, EVER say something like that. EVER.

Peace.

[gkhouston]

425. a soldier who enjoys killing like that is a dangerous commodity

You need someone who'll do the job because it's got to be done, not because it's fun. Someone who kills for the fun of it is a loose cannon, not a tool that can be controlled, IMHO.

[understandinglife]

579. You betcha. Can't.Get.Any.More.Dangerous.Than.That. (nt)

[seito]

144. Me too

Those were my thoughts exactly. The Marine they had on to explain it excused his behavior as "locker talk" :wtf: So it is OK to talk that way, as long as you are "pumping up" the young recruits.

[bunny planet]

338. notice KO had the 'You Can't Handle the Truth' sign behind him when

he started that story. That Jack Nicholson speech in 'A Few Good Men' was chilling. This real general defending the one who said 'killing was fun' is not doing a very good job of covering his buddy's ass. He just said the quote was something he would say to young recruits ' to pump them up' like before a football game. I think the killing as sport reference is one of the problems with the original statement, so great, use it again as an explanation.

[golden voyages]

106. .

[gkhouston]

162. a far cry from Robert E. Lee's "it is well that war is so terrible...

we should grow too fond of it", no?

[Clark2008]

176. Thank you for quoting Robert E. Lee

I think he gets a bad rap - he really was a fantastic person. He was just on the wrong side of history (he certainly was a better person than Grant).

[sparky_in_ma]

192. He was a gentleman n/t

[gkhouston]

221. he was a class act

I wish he'd made a different decision, but I understand why he made the one he did. And he sucked it up after the war and did what was best for his country, when he could have been a bitter-ender. Truly a man of honor.

[bunny planet]

353. Have you ever read 'The Killer Angels'. If you like Robert E. Lee, you

will love that book. It's very sad though, about the Battle of Gettysburg, really reveals the humanity in Robert E. Lee.

as well as the horrors of war, and how 'not fun' it is.:-(

[gkhouston]

377. yes, I read it a while back n/t

[Nothing Without Hope]

301. It's like a video game -- entertainment, like old Rome's Coliseum "games"

Horrible, horrible -- but not nearly enough outrage.

In today's paper here inthe Boston area there was a story of a clerk in an all-night store killed. He was Egyptian and must have looked like an "Arab." He was killed so brutally that even the print media were holding back on the gory details. He was described as a kind, sweet person who sent most of his salary back to his mother in Egypt and even wanted to live-catch and release rather than kill a mouse found in the store.

The story said nothing about the possibility that this extremely brutal murder was a hate crime because of his being an AY-RAB. But I believe that is a good possibility. Whoever killed hiim really, really enjoyed doing it. That's not like a simple robbery/murder.

The sickness, the loss of humanity and spirit, pervades this society from the top down. Not to depress you any further, but did you see this on the home page:
http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=132x1564860 (Thread title: "The conversion of a moderate")
It really makes the point of how this country has changed and how steep the uphill fight is going to be. But it also makes it clear how high the stakes are andhow important it is that we not give up.

(Since I can only post a few times because of the extreme slowness of the loading, I guess they'll tend to be long and irrelevant. Sorry.)

[sparky_in_ma]

318. But what you posted was very relevant

That's why one of the reasons I like the KOEB, you have heart, and not just these:loveya:

[seito]

86. OMG

This is the way they "pump up" the 18-19 year olds.

[txindy]

96. It's like XBox games. Or so they think until the guy next to them blows up

Those poor kids have no idea what they're getting into and remarks like that general made do not help.

[RevCheesehead]

87. Howdy, folks! Sorry I'm late.

How the hell do you get over 80 responses in 20 minutes???


Keith, for you: :loveya:

[Patsy Stone]

102. Hey, Rev!

That's 80 responses in 20 minutes on this thread alone. I think there are at least two others going at the same time (all us). LOL.

We sure can talk. Did you see the Stephanie Miller thread?

[RevCheesehead]

119. Nope. Just got here.

Who's Stephanie Miller?

[SharonRB]

139. She has a progressive talk radio show

check her out at stephaniemiller.com. Botany has the hots for her and she has the hots for KO. She talked about us by name today on her show.

[Patsy Stone]

143. Lovely liberal talk show host

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=203x316797

And fellow KOEB'er. She read us on the air today. LOL

266. Very cool Sparky

Sorry I missed her reading it today. I was listening to her on my way to work, but I went in wicked early today so I only hear the beginning of the show.

I don't know if I could have stood it if I had heard it and not have been able to post about it right away.

Somebody must have it archived though, wouldn't you think?

115. Ok, digression. I move we make Stephanie Miller an honorary member

of the KOEB. She's smart, funny, and also is enamored of KO. Our sister in snark, so to speak. What say ye, ladies?

of course, the running "catfight" is also good fun too, so I can see the downside of it....

[seito]

126. I'll take that one step farther

Stephanie, we know you are here....Come on out...

Did I just violate DU rules? :evilgrin:

[Patsy Stone]

147. Maybe

Let's see if your post is removed for calling out a newbie! :evilgrin:

[seito]

164. hehehehe

I don't think I have had one deleted yet :spank:

BTW, it may not be a "newbie" that I called out.

[Patsy Stone]

128. Welcome, Stephanie!

But, you're gonna have to bring the drinks and ice for the first week, that's the hazing. :)

[cry baby]

150. I'll second that, welcome Stephanie...TO THE TIES THAT BIND!

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

142. You're going to make her show picture ID, aren't you?

Yep, I knew it!

;)

[sparky_in_ma]

152. I know;

I'm bad.:evilgrin:

[Sydnie]

136. Ok with me -- could Botany handle it? LOL

Wouldn't want him to be all tongue tied and spongeworthy!

[SharonRB]

151. Great idea.

[Shopaholic]

187. I actually invited her to check us out ages ago via e-mail--

she never replied but obviously, does read the KOEB! I just had no idea she'd betroth herself to KO though (and without his knowledge at that)!

[crispini]

229. Well, she's at least as wacko as we are

therefore, she's in! :) Here's to you, Ms. Miller! :toast:

[crispini]

532. (Wacko in a nice way, of course! nt)

[txindy]

127. Oklahoma may get it's first professional sport! Naturally, it involves...

farm animals! With boxing gloves.

Only in Oklahoma. ;)

[noamnety]

141. I saw the story on DU before

boxing gloves for chickens. And I thought it was a joke, because, really, who would do that? Who would write a law requiring chickens to wear boxing gloves?

We can't keep mercury out of our children's drinking water, but our chickens are wearing sporting gear.

[txindy]

149. The mercury will dumb us down enough to appreciate the brilliance

The brilliance of gloves on the chickens, that is. Good. Grief. They do have their priorities, don't they?

[noamnety]

159. lol

and later this session, they'll introduce legislation to require them to wear sports bras, so we don't see their chicken breasts during the matches. The FCC chairman will oversee enforcement.

[Horse with no Name]

243. lol

Just as long as the men holding the farm animals aren't required to wear tall boots,lol.

[txindy]

309. Oh, now THERE'S an image!

Ack! Thanks. LOL!

[txindy]

134. Lucky us. We got to see Junior kissing Lieberman TWO times.

Now, isn't that special? Bleah!

[SharonRB]

158. Leiberman has turned out to be a faux Democrat

[txindy]

219. He wants to be the new Zell. They're going to mud-wrestle for it.

The mud's going to court to stop it.

168. Hi, bettyellen

:hi:

[bettyellen]

297. HI Sharon... looked like it was a good show... i picked up the phone again

my friend in nevada was SCREAMING about voter fraud--yelling and not shutting up for a moment and i said well, you have the only state that had a perfect count, so we can talk tommorrow. i'm not stuck in traffic. i'm walking two blocks to another party.
! i had to pick keith over ranting tonight. otherwise i will be no fun. !

[txindy]

156. At UT? Oh, my word! Watergate papers HERE?!

Why?

[crispini]

165. Well, maybe Keef knows, but he's not telling.

What a BIG TEASE! :D

[bleever]

571. I pray that such vile documents not taint...I mean, that they exonerate...

the blessed and lovely Lone Star State.

:)

[txindy]

606. Which begs the question...

Why are they here, of all places? Because it's not A&M, where Poppy's library is located? But why this state? It's a puzzlement.

The Lone Star State, or at least the Hill Country part, will indeed be lovely in about 1-1.5 months from now when the bluebonnets bloom.

Let them taint! Then, maybe, I'll finally see these ripped off of cars: along with these:

Still, why are W&B here?

I'll have to ponder this some more tomorrow. I've got to get some sleep. Early morning baseball tryouts tomorrow! For the son who's been laid up with the flu all this week and is still as weak as a baby. Oh, this ought to be a good tryout. :eyes:

I remember that -- that was too funny. A very good DUDQ meeting that night. I haven't run into Koko in ages, is she still here?

[seito]

I've seen koko around. That was a fun DUDQ night, I remember it well. :evilgrin:

Don't believe a word she says. Ever. Except that slip she made about Junior being her husband. Now THAT she probably meant!

[cry baby]

177. She just isn't very photogenic, is she?

[noamnety]

186. that's not very nice

Clearly you are underestimating how difficult it is to look professional with a mullet.

[sparky_in_ma]

204. LMAO

B-)

[txindy]

207. Or how hard it is to scratch that voice across a blackboard every day

It's hard work!

[crispini]

197. I hate to be catty, but I will be:

she could've and should've gotten her teeth fixed loooooong ago. MmeeeOW! Ok, I'm done now. Phew. Feel better, too!

[cry baby]

214. I feel a little bad mentioning it, she can't really help the way she looks

but, dang it, she needs a makeover.

[Horse with no Name]

253. lol

maybe "daddy" likes the gap,lol.

[babylonsister]

201. She's fugly.

About fecking time.

Does it mean I'm a complete political junkie that I could name every single person running?

[rainman99]

179. Loved that part about Bush Sr. possibly being Deep Throat!

I doubt it though. Don't think any of the Bush's have that
much integrity.

[McCamy Taylor]

194. So my post above, I guessed Barbara did it out of spite cause she is mean.

[McCamy Taylor]

222. Serious now, Eliot Richardsom or William Ruckelshaus, DOJ under

Nixon, both resigned, need to see if either is close to death. As AG and assistant AG they would know what was going on but might have a hard time getting the FBI to do anything about it.

[cry baby]

Welcome to DU and KOEB!

[greenmutha]

263. Article about Poppy as Deep Throat here:

http://www.pnionline.com/dnblog/extra/

A snippet:

"From ADRIAN HAVILL: In my 1993 biography of Woodward and Bernstein, "Deep Truth," I argued that Deep Throat had to be a composite portrayal. No more. Yesterday's unveiling of Woodstein's notes at the University of Texas is an appropriate time to let Poynter's readers know -- based on recent events and my own research at the National Archives in College Park, Maryland -- who I believe DT is and why. He's not one of the nearly 100 suspects who've already been named -- either by the University of Illinois investigative team or dozens of other Watergate scholars and experts.

Certainly nearly everyone who reads Poynter was mystified when George W. Bush -- a President who arguably hates the press -- gave Bob Woodward seven hours of interviews which became the core of two best-selling and largely laudatory books. He also urged his cabinet to cooperate with Woodward and many did.

The explanation: George Herbert Walker Bush, the president's father, is Deep Throat."

[Vadem]

545. Don't believe it! It was Al Haig!......Let's hear arguments pro...

[livvy]

181. Think Dean will get it?

Hi! I don't usually join you, but I'm a Keith fan, too, perhaps not as "passionately" lol, but I've enjoyed his show for a long time.
oops forgot the :loveya: I believe that's a part of posting here, right?

[Nothing Without Hope]

213. Hi KOEBers - I'm here (late) with info re SPEEDING UP THREAD LOADING

I probably have the slowest connection of anybody here, and I can no longer handle the full KOEB threads. Freezes my computer. For people like me, I wondered if there might be some way to counter this. So, today I asked Skinner for info on what slowed down long threads the most (see my post to him below). His reply:

A couple suggestions.

You should go into your preferences and change a few things. Two functions that are particularly helpful are the following:
- Set "Display signatures?" to "no"
- Set "Hide avatars and other images?" to "yes"
That will get rid of a lot of the graphical embellishments.
You can also view forums in collapsed threads mode. There is a link in the top left corner of any forum that says Expand Threads or Collapse Threads.

High numbers of posts are the thing that slows down a thread the most. You can get around this a little by viewing in single-post mode, but it is not a perfect solution. Unfortunately, we haven't come up with a good solution to this problem.
---------------
In case you wondered, here's my post that he was replying to:

I'd like some general info about how to speed up thread loading

Lately some of the threads I'm in got quite long and also have many emoticons -- both the DU ones and imported ones -- and some pictures. I have a slow dialup and it quickly gets to thepoint where my system cannot handle these threads. I then get computer freezes and have to reboot repeatedly, and finally I cannot open the "view all" and see anything at all. This happened to me most recently last night, after the software upgrades, so it is still an issue.

What I would like to know is how much the various kinds of emoticons (imported vs DU ones, animated vs. still) and jpg files slow down thread loading. Is it significant? If there are, say, 10 animated emoticons in a post, will it affect thread loading much? If we know what things are the biggest time-takers, we can try to slim those down.

Also, does each additional post, even if only a few words with no text, significantly slow a thread? Can you give me an idea of what slows threads more, high numbers of posts (with or without message text) or added emoticons and pictures?

I think a lot of DU people would benefit from some info on this, al the moreso as there are more and more eager posters. Maybe you have already written something that you could repost? Specificity would help, as then we can strategize more easily. Something like a scale of 1 to 5 or something for what things slow down threads the most?

Thanks!

[seito]

226. Hi Hope

Glad to see you. :hi:

[SharonRB]

239. Thanks -- I'm on dial-up, too

and it takes forever everytime I want to scroll through the posts.

[sparky_in_ma]

242. Hi Hope

:hi:

[Nothing Without Hope]

313. Hello Sparky, the KOEB ladies treating you right this evening?

And congrats on passing your 500th post!

It's taken until now to actually answer your post. Isn't that sad?
Turning off sigs and pictures/avatars helps a bit, but it's still damn slow. I don't see the "compress thread" button Skinner mentioned in his tips list. Maybe he means "printer friendly format"? I wouldn't have thought so. If I get desperate enough I might try it.

I noticed your name being mentioned in the same post with the word "bodice" -- a new KOEB legend is born! I know you're tough, you can take it!
:hi:

[sparky_in_ma]

337. yup

I ravage the country side ravaging bodices. This thread does move quickly. Your posts are always good. : )

[livvy]

220. You "guys" are right.

He does look good in a grey suit.

So that's two, wonder who the third will be....

251. My son has on a SpongeBob T-shirt today.

:)

[txindy]

283. Saw a great Spongebob shirt today that the fundies would FREAK about

Spongebob with his hands crossed in front of him, saying, "Fear my nekkidness." Yes, it was a sleep shirt in the men's dept. My oldest is at the awkward stage in between the boys' dept. and the men's. Yet another of the little things in life no one warns you about! Shopping crises. **sigh**

[Patsy Stone]

287. I just got the movie!

Hey Clark! How you doin' this fine Friday evening, girl?

:toast:

[RevCheesehead]

255. YEAH!!!!!!! SPONGEBOB!!!!!

Oh, that makes me so very happy!!!

"Ordinarily, I destroy the prize on Friday night - but I'm not going to do it."

256. Was that a melt your heart smile or what

:loveya:

[txindy]

257. Yup, see, there's Spongebob. Good choice!

He who lives in a pineapple under the sea as a prize will delight Focus on the Family, I'm sure!

[cry baby]

258. Keith was so adorable tonight!!!!

:loveya: :loveya: :loveya:

[livvy]

272. Sponge Bob...a perfect gift!

I wonder what he does with all his prizes? Sponge Bob was a good one considering the ludicracy of the whole issue. I mean, I never thought a whole lot about Sponge Bob. I thought it was a weird character, but kids liked him. The whole homosexual issue is just bizarre beyond words. Don't these people have anything better to do?

[sparky_in_ma]

280. I used to wonder that too,

finally I realized that they really don't.:scared:

[Clark2008]

305. Actually, they would have something better to do if they

used the good part of their minds and stopped seeing homosexuals behind every ink spot.

They could raise money to feed the poor.
They could provide free daycare to struggling single mothers who, btw, opted to KEEP their babies, instead of aborting them.
They could actually READ the New Testament and the Sermon on the Mount and the Beatitudes to understand what Jesus REALLY was about.

But, no. Alas, they want to worry about boobies and alleged gay cartoon characters and stupid shit like that.

[livvy]

310. Hmmm...I think you're right.

Too bad they can't think of a more positive and useful way to expend their efforts. Squatbrains!

[bettyellen]

282. what's the stephanie stuff going on... is she repeating what we say here?

i thought what happened on the thread stayed in the thread.
i am shocked.
shocked i tell you!
is there a transcript or something? i wonder who she quoted....
my guess is cheesehead.

[RevCheesehead]

409. (shaking head and waking up)

what? what did I do?

Did I actually say something that someone listened to? If only they'd do that on Sunday morning! :evilgrin:

[crispini]

285. Oooh, oooh, I have a Countdown-related story.

So a friend of mine works at a local law firm. Her boss is a big ol' liberal and very nice. He used his plane to fly some Iraqis Americans from here to Nashville to go vote. And Countdown actually called him and was going to interview him about it, but he got bumped because of the pope story. Isn't that wild? It's like seven degrees of Countdown or something.

:loveya: for KO, who was terribly cute tonight what with the Spongebob and the tongue-frozen-to-pole thing.

[txindy]

300. Admit it

You were fixin' to smack that pole, weren't you? ;)

[crispini]

319. Not. Saying. Nuffink!

:evilgrin:

[Clark2008]

323. I thought it was a TV

not a pole.

Hmmm... but I wasn't really looking beyond the tongue. ;)

[txindy]

329. Figuratively speaking, I meant.

Although there were supports around the monitor, weren't there? :shrug: I was too busy laughing to tell. My youngest came in to find out what was so funny. He got the reference right away before I could say anything. He asked if someone "double-dog dared" Keith to do that! LOL!

[crispini]

332. Well, yes, you are correct. Metaphorical pole, I guess! nt

[seito]

302. Too bad the story was bumped

Lots of :loveya: to Keef tonight. He was adorable.

[seito]

294. 303 and counting

I get to stay up late, it's not a school night :)

[livvy]

317. Not a school night for me either! Are you a teacher or student?n/t

[seito]

352. Teacher

I teach science at an academy for at-risk teens that have dropped out of high school.

[Shopaholic]

385. You are a far better person that I could ever be--

there's no amount of money that could make me take that job!

[seito]

396. lol

The pay ain't that good. I think I'm just :crazy:

[livvy]

408. That's really great!

I'm just a regular 4th grade teacher at a public school in a suburb of Detroit. Do you have any fellow teachers that understand what is going on? In my building I'm finding that there are several that feel a strong resentment towards the * administration, but don't have an in-depth understanding of the seriousness of it. I'm just curious.

[seito]

429. What you do is great

It is all good. I would love to transition to elementary school. I really enjoy the younger kids.

As far as the political climate...there is about a 50/50 split over the election. Surprisingly, many of the people that I work with have undergone FAUX implantation :scared:

Although many despise **, most do not believe that fraud took place in this past election.

[livvy]

450. I only know of one * supporter in the bldg.

And she's well...a bit of a dull bulb herself in many ways...very self-interested. What I've mostly found is people who don't like the dimwit, but have no idea about the depth of the agenda, and no idea there was any fraud involved in the election. Now you tell me. How could it not occur to people that there was a problem , when they all know they voted for Kerry, and they know so many of their relatives and friends did, and yet he "lost". Why is it that some people can't put two and two together. And they're supposed to be educators? Arghh....drives me nut, but I will keep patiently pursuing my goal of convincing everyone that * is a fraud and a criminal.

This is how I feel sometimes!

[Fly by night]

402. 385 posts since 7:00 pm. Whew, ladies, you're wearing me out ...

and I'm just a drive-by fragrance aficionado. Whatever could you be talking about -- perchance anything related to KO winning the Pulitzer (as well as Blackwell's "best tied" list) by elevating the language of election theft and election justice once more -- by raising his voice, not lowering it. The swooning you'll hear then will come from all of us, but it will be sighs of relief that the Fourth Estate -- in all its old and new forms -- is finally here in strength to help save the union.

For a while, Keith was a very lonely voice in the corporate media deaf-mute wilderness of this election theft story. After several months of owning the story, KO is finally beginning to get company among his hoary brethren in the Washington Post, the Miami Herald, the San Francisco Chronicle and the New York Times -- to name a few. And KO knows better than any of us that your competitors do not jump into covering a "dead story" if there's no there there. This venerable DU thread -- this fractal universe of highly sentient strengths, scented with poetry -- talking election theft and election justice -- helping each other understand, combat and overcome this coup -- and clowning and flirting all along the way. We're the there they're looking for and that Keith found a while back now, right here. It's good to remember, in the midst of this roaring river of estrogen-sweetened hero worship, that we are the ones we have been waiting for -- all of us.

Time to head on down the road. Nice to know there's so much fragrant energy around this bright-eyed mob of DUers, as we tie one on and dance the communal two-step toward taking our country back. Have a sunny weekend. Peace, y'all.

[Melissa G]

601. What Tongue! some of us don't have cable..details please! n/t

[Nothing Without Hope]

418. OK, I want to hear more about what Steph said about us

Upthread there was some discussion of how Stephanie had actually read posts from our thread on the air. There was a link to an early Jan thread where this was mentioned -- mostly about KO's attire and the floaty hearts -- but apparently she did it again today.

What was she saying? And if SHE'S reading us, who else is? Flyarm said she'd bet the farm that KO's reading these threads.

Sorry I could only post a few times tonight. I came late (8:45), and by then the thread was more than my internet connection and cranky old computer could handle.

Good thread tonight, I thought. Heading toward 400 posts last time I looked. We might at some point have to ask for the number of posts of just a few words be cut back, since Skinner says it's the number of posts that make a thread load slowly. (See his tips on thread loading speedup in my post upthread.)

Anyway, I'm dying to know what Stephanie said about us and I hope somebody is still around to explain it more.

[seito]

441. Here ya go

Apparently she called us out by name "The Keith Olbermann Estrogen Brigade" and read some posts from last night's thread.

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=203x316797#316833

[Nothing Without Hope]

469. OMG!!!! That is too funny! But not as funny as SOME of our posts!

Geez, she should hire us as consultants for giving her such great material! I wonder (1) how she came to be reading our threads, and (2) how the subject was framed on her show.

Poor Keef, we already were guessing he was taking a lot of teasing about this!

Geez! I just realized - this means we're famous!!!

[seito]

473. KOEB, has the fame changed you any?

[Patsy Stone]

478. Nope. I still put on my pants one leg at a time. :) LOL! n/t

[gkhouston]

485. Patsy... how many legs do you think you have right now? n/t

[Patsy Stone]

487. Still two

but you'll be the first to know if that changes. ;)

[gkhouston]

504. Um... Patsy... wouldn't *you* notice it first...

or have you passed beyond that point? You are actually drinking the vodka, right? Instead of going for the (bleeurgh) "sherry" option? 'Cause that really will kill you dead very fast. At least the drinking way, you'll probably puke before ingesting a deadly amount.

[Patsy Stone]

508. Sherry enemas just never appealed

Call me a prude, but...

Also, not sure I would be the first to notice how many legs I had at this point. :)

511. why bother using sherry?

It's not like he could have appreciated the taste? And how in the hell did she explain it to the authorities when she contacted them? She's lucky she's being charged with negligent homicide. I'm wondering if she tried to off him on purpose.

[Patsy Stone]

520. P.S. We're up to 532 posts. LOL

We're :crazy:

[sparky_in_ma]

491. you're on a roll

that was GOOD.

[sparky_in_ma]

481. I'd like to thank

the academy, my parents and all my KOEB friends. And my cat.:loveya: Nah...hasn't change me at all.O8)

[gkhouston]

489. hey, does your cat ever type some of your posts

like News_Junkie's? :evilgrin:

[sparky_in_ma]

499. nope

She does spend most of the nite curled up in my lap though. She isn't that great a typist.

[RevCheesehead]

521. And you're a cat-lover, too???

Sparky, you're too good to be true. :loveya:

[sparky_in_ma]

530. My little girl

is sooooo cute. Gotta brag, she will tap my back when I'm on the computer, she'll have brought one of her pom-pom balls and wants to play fetch. :loveya:

[gkhouston]

536. how sweet. I shared a townhouse once with a divorced friend

and several cats. One of them liked to perch on top of the computer monitor and swish her tail back and forth like a windshield wiper while I was using the computer. After a while, you actually tune it out.

[RevCheesehead]

564. Just the tail?

One of mine (Oreo) sprawls across the monitor, butt-side facing me... and she drapes her hind legs across the screen. Very attractive.

And my guy (Roo) is constantly walking on the keys. I put a stop to that, and he just reached over and swatted several papers and books to the floor. "Mom, get that crap out of here - I want to sit down."

Binky sometimes comes up for a combing, but usually just stays nearby at my feet. She is my loyal baby.

Keith, I hope you like cats. :loveya:

[gkhouston]

565. yeah, it was just the tail.

She's since passed on to her reward, as have most of Mary's cats, but she was a sweetie. She also liked to do her metronome-tail act on the TV set. One of the other cats liked to sleep on the tops of doors so you always had to check a door before you moved it!

[seito]

492. Well according to the official count,

we have surpassed 500. :wow:


:toast: to KOEB and to Sparky and Bleever for providing the after-hours entertainment :evilgrin:

[Nothing Without Hope]

557. ROTHFLMO!!! Naw, we deserve the best. But I do think that

Stephanie's talking about the KOEB on the radio, including the bit about Botany's "restraining order," is really one big flirt with our Keef. Poor, poor Keef! We were guessing his staff was ragging him about these threads, but now he's going to be hearing about it EVERYWHERE!

No wonder he wore that ugly pale suit tonight. He could wear The Tie to reward us, but he can also wear The Suit to do the opposite. It's a subtle semaphoric communication system that only a truly brilliant, sensitive, politically progressive man who was manfully trying to hide his deep affection for us could have devised.

I do have to hand it to that Stephanie for teasing KO this way on air. Think about it! It's twisted, it's snarky, it's KOEB style all the way. The woman is a natural, it's good we made her an honorary member.

Thanks for the link to the discussion of our new famousness! What nice PR for the DU 2004 Election Forum! See, that's what they get for inviting us back. Virtue may be its own reward, but being mentioned on the radio is nice, too.

TO THE TIES THAT BIND!

422. Ladies -- should we consider breaking up the evening thread

after about 125-150 posts to make things a little easier on the dialup crowd? That would probably mean a two-part thread each night which could be confusing, but paging up and down these 350+ post monsters is confusing in its own right. Just something to mull over...

[bear425]

439. OMG, I just got here and there 452 posts for me to go thru

Whew.

Wasn't he good tonight? Methinks so.

[Patsy Stone]

448. 460 posts at 10:55 p.m... and not a tie in sight!

It must be Friday!! :)

[seito]

453. Indeed

[Patsy Stone]

457. LMAO.

That's damn funny. :)

[crispini]

463. LOL, your smiley! Too funny.

[bunny planet]

486. omg, just checked in, you have a smilie for every occasion Seito.

You are so boss.

[johnaries]

480. DAM you, PATSY! and the rest of the KOEB!!! SpongeBob must be

behind this whole thing, and don't try to deny it! CONFESS! I know you say "Keith", but you're really fantasizing about some lesbo version of SpongeBarb, aren't you!

479 posts, and me on dial-up! You EVIL TEMPTRESS, you know I'm going to have to click "view all" just because the KOEB have the most entertaining posts, but while they're downloading I'll have to go to the bathroom, wash the dishes, mop the floor, do the laundry, wash the car, and probably much more before it's finished downloading!

Did my ex-wife put you up to this?

Seriously, I love you all, and if we get our message out by Jealous Married Reporters, well, at least the MESSAGE and the TRUTH is getting out SOMEHOW!

AND I still think the KOEB ladies are HOT!!! (Lucky KO!)

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

[Patsy Stone]

516. Where have you BEEN???

We've been here for DAYS without your Y chromosome! Welcome back, sweetie. :yourock:

All misspellings are due to vodka...

p.s. Did you hear? He wore the TIE?

[johnaries]

605. Well, if your misspellings are due to vodka...

Then it's time to switch to RUM!

Let me pour you one...

:beer:

Yeah, I complain... I don't have cable, I don't have DSL.., I don't even have "water", I have a spring pump (ummm, best tasting water you've tasted!) that I have to keep "fixing"!

You'd think that ME, being a Tech Support Trainer (GEEK mentor), would want to live somewhere in the burbs or city where I could take advantage of all the latest and greatest innovations! BUT, here, in the middle of the woods, I can walk out on my deck (stark naked if I feel like it) and see lots of trees, hawks, wild turkeys, deer, herons, etc. etc.

So, on the one hand I could have fast internet and lots of tv channels; on the other hand I could have Mother Nature.....

SO, I admit that I have no right to complain. But I like doing it anyway! :evilgrin:

It's fantastic that KO wore "the tie"!

Ya know, if it had been anyone else, I would have wondered if they were just "pandering." But from reading his blogs KO has always been straight-forward... even when he had to say things that he didn't think we would like to hear!

KO could just be the last bastion of Truth in this country!

It's good to know that he acknowledges his listeners who really want to know "what's going on"

OK, blame all misspellings on Bacardi....

[WhirlyGirl]

604. No, WE are lucky...

... to have KO to get us that way! ::blush::

Ohhh...Keeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeith!!! :loveya: :loveya: :loveya: :loveya: :loveya: :loveya: :loveya:

495. 500 posts! We rock!

Night all, I'm either going to bed or I'm going out.... not sure which yet. :toast: cheers!

[New Earth]

497. jeezus fukking kryst

over 500 posts!!!!!! you girls are crazy!!!! :bounce: :crazy: :hi:

[txindy]

513. Yes, yes, we are. And we're quite comfortable with that.

[troubleinwinter]

546. BEST . PARTY . EVER!

Only a coupla spills of cabernet on the bib.... and got a few 'deception' dollars tucked into the thong!

[gkhouston]

552. good for you but I'm knackered

Sparks was right... this thread is bogging down even on cable modem. I'm off to bed. 'Nite all! Hey, could somebody count Patsy's legs and make sure she still has two, a right and a left, and properly attached? Thanks.

Gina

[Patsy Stone]

558. gk?

:yourock: 571 posts: We may need our own blog. BTW, still two at last count. :)

[gkhouston]

563. girl legs, right? Approximately the same length? A left and a

right? Same color? Same amount of hair? I mean, they are your legs, right? It would be so embarrassing if you'd gotten someone else's legs by mistake and had to exchange them tomorrow when you're sober. (You were planning on sobering up at some point, right?)

And yes, we may be heading toward our own forum. Not sure how I feel about that yet. Something for us to all sleep on a night or six, no?

[dzika]

566. You all are amazing.

I can't say that I've ever posted in a thread this long before!

[Patsy Stone]

569. Have I mentioned

that :yourock:?

And, :loveya:s abound for you....

[bleever]

599. I speak for the floaty-heart trees: you are SO welcome here.

:hi:

Signed,

The Florax

[Patsy Stone]

568. Still my legs

I'm still short. If I had someone else's I'd request some that are at least gonna bring me up to 5'11". You're sweet to care, but my bed is a mere 20' from here. Let's sleep on it until someone complains. :)

God bless spell check -- otherwise I wouldn't be able to look at myself in the mirror in the morning.

[troubleinwinter]

575. No complaints permitted. Been there, done that.

[RevCheesehead]

588. I simply have to post one last time in this amazing thread!

Good night, ladies.
Good night, sexy gents!

:hi:

goodnight, Keith! :loveya:

[Patsy Stone]

591. I'm just saying... 605 posts.

I'm going to bed now...

Good night all of you lovely, lovely people. :)

:loveya: and :grouphug:

NGU.

[troubleinwinter]

594. I was gonna tell you kids to go to bed before we cracked 600... too late.

[Melissa G]

603. Nighty night.. you guys are toooo funny n/t

[gkhouston]

609. Yeesh! It's not just tonight!

I just checked in, to catch up on the posts that came in after I went to bed, since there was still some interesting Deep Throat discussion going on. Do a "sort by replies" instead of last update and you'll see that (as of 1pm Central on Saturday), 5 of the 6 biggest threads are the KOEB, with two other KOEB threads lower down but still on the front page. The Marines may not be meeting their recruitment targets but it sure looks like we are!

[WhirlyGirl]

611. NEW pic on Countdown homepage!!!

Cute NEW pic of KO examining the little packet containing, I believe, a Coulter-doll hair, on Countdown's homepage, here: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/3036677/
Be still, my floaty heart!!!

[merh]

616. My goodness, you threw one heck of a party last night Patsy!

I hope you and Simon are doing better today. :hug:

I missed most of the rawdy posts because I was off in a corner discussing watergate with others. I did enjoy myself in the corner, but boy howdy, did I miss some fun! :toast:

A great time was had by all! :bounce:

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

[WhirlyGirl]

618. Yep! That's the one!

He looks like he's saying, "Really?--and just HOW do you explain THIS, then!" Just before he sends them to.... THE BIG HOUSE.

Ooooooooooh,Keeeeeeeeith!:loveya: :loveya: :loveya: :loveya: :loveya:

Best.Thread.Evah.

[Miami Liberal]

612. DId KO make an appearance here last night?!

Over 600 posts and I can't believe I missed it all! Everyone in the KOEB is officially insane, including myself of course. :crazy:

It's gonna take me about an hour to read this whole thread. :wow:

:loveya: :loveya: :loveya:

[Miami Liberal]

613. This is officially THE BEST THREAD EVER!

The KOEB thong was just too funny, my sides are still hurtin' from laughing so much. Kudos to you TroublieinWinter!!!

Pasty, so glad you're okay after the mattress incident. Anything and everything is possible in the streets of Miami.:-)

:yourock: :yourock: :yourock:

[AmyJCNJ]

614. Holy Shiite!!! 614 posts!

It took me 3 hours to catch up on all the KOEB threads from yesterday. I go away for 1 night and all hell breaks loose.

This thread Rocks!!!

How about that... Stephanie Miller... Wow we're famous.

This is officially the best KOEB thread eveah!

See ya'll Monday.

[IndyPriest]

617. Don't mind me. I just had to be part of a thread with

more than 630 posts! Yeowza!

[demodonkey]

620. 635 (or more!) We just LOVE Keith here in Pennsylvania too!

:loveya:

(just have to post some floaty hearts, so I can be part of "history", lol!)

[Nothing Without Hope]

621. This thread is a monument to the ages, or at least to KO and KOEB brew!

The length is too long -- and thus slow-loading -- for a regular KOEB format, and we'll doubtless be discussing how to best deal with that while preserving our openness and spontaneity. But for now, I'm just going to observe a quiet moment of mute awe:
:wow:

And the OTHER KOEB thread from the same day, from when Stephanie Miller was heard reading KOEB posts over the radio, is in ADDITION to this and is, in fact, STILL GROWING at over 150 posts:
http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=203&topic_id=316797&mesg_id=316797&page=

Ladies and gents of the KOEB, that is a HELLUVALOT of wit and wisdom for one day, even a special day!

It was also nice to have enough men in the conversation to dilute the estrogen fumes enough that the unaccustomed would not be scared off:
:nuke: :nuke: :scared: :nuke: :nuke:

Here's to the KOEB: TO THE TIES THAT BIND! :toast:

And here's for our Keef, the inspiration and excuse for all this fun, to tide him over until the Monday show thread: :loveya: :loveya: :loveya:

[RevCheesehead]

622. We are nuts. But we are also loyal, loving, and oh-so-good-looking.

I think this post is truly one of the finest I have ever seen... and I keep coming back to it, like a good movie.

See y'all tomorrow night!
