KOEB Friday night party

[Botany]

To the EDVs ...... I have to go out ..... Miss Steph is calling.
I will check in later but I think it is time for you Vixens to
pamper Sparky. You bring him drinks and take care of his needs.

KO the last real reporter.

Stephanie :loveya: Miller

[Clark2008]

1. Gee - VERY early tonight! LOL! I haven't even warmed up my son's

pizza so he'll quietly watch TV in the living room whilst I watch KO with the EBs!

I hope Keef is in a cheerier mood than he seems to have been the past couple of days!

This should make him smile - I know it makes me smile!



:loveya: :loveya: :loveya: :loveya: for Keef!

[greenmutha]

3. That makes me smile too!

10. Hi Greenmutha!

[Clark2008]

25. Not yet, but one of my tech's told me of some free software I could use

just got through downloading it. Will play around with it later tonight. :)

[greenmutha]

40. I can't wait! (And VERY GOOD IDEA by the way...)

I've converted a few of my girlfriends, but I totally agree that we need to spread the word as much as possible.

Go Keef! :loveya: :loveya: :loveya:

[WhirlyGirl]

163. Is there a problem with the MUGS??

I ordered two of them earlier this week!

[WhirlyGirl]

9. Ahhhh... which is the goofy one...

or scare him away completely.

[bunny planet]

2. Why hello there. We are starting early.

I have to work so I can't watch tonight in real time but I can post.
Did Stephanie read all of the glowing praise we gave you last night.
Will she indeed be yours as a result?

[seito]

Happy Friday to you.

[seito]

16. Hiya Bunny

Thumped anybody lately?

[bunny planet]

26. You've been to the land of 1000 smilies again I see.

No thumping today, but some folks felt my thump a couple of days ago.
That did not sound right.

[sparky_in_ma]

106. Hi seito

My fellow believer.:)

11. Tonight on Countdown, superglue eyedrops for monk

Tonight on Countdown

Pope John Paul II was hospitalized Thursday after suffering a relapse of the flu, the Vatican said, a day after the pontiff made his longest public appearance since being discharged from the clinic two weeks ago. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/7022618/

Keith blogs. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/6210240/

* Seeking common ground amid sensitive differences on democracy, President Bush and Russian President Vladimir Putin agreed Thursday on new efforts to keep nuclear arms away from terrorists as well as sovereign nations like Iran and North Korea. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/6992078/

* A man wearing a police uniform drove a car bomb inside the main police compound in Saddam Hussein's hometown north of Baghdad on Thursday, setting off a massive explosion that killed 15 police and wounded 22, officials and witnesses said. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/6913272/

* A Fort Worth woman says her new husband is incapable of murder -- even though police say he has confessed to killing his pregnant ex-girlfriend and her son. Trish Barbee says "it's impossible" that Stephen Dale Barbee, 37, could have killed 34-year-old Lisa Underwood and her 7-year-old son, Jayden Underwood. http://www.nbc5i.com/news/4227699/detail.html

* Canseco? We'll see. Jose Canseco scheduled to be Keith's guest, tonight.

* And tigers & turkeys... you'll just have to see for yourself.

That's some of what we're working on for tonight's show.

Finally,
Doctors have partially restored the sight of an 81-year-old Buddhist monk who accidentally glued his eyes shut when he mistook a tube of superglue for eye drops. The doctors at Angthong Hospital, 100 kilometers north of Bangkok, used a chemical solvent, acetone, to dissolve the glue in the monk's right eye, a hospital spokesman said. It took two-hours. http://hosted.ap.org/dynamic/stories/E/EYES_GLUED?SITE=NWCN&TEMPLATE=STRANGEHEADS.html&SECTION=HOME
Kids, don't try this at home.

[greenmutha]

OMG - Ouch! Don't laugh, but...

I super glued my mouth shut once. Teeth to teeth, tongue to lips... it was AWFUL! (Okay, maybe you can laugh a little...)

I needed to use the super glue and the tip had a clog on it. Without even thinking (obviously - DOH!) I grabbed the clog with my teeth to yank it off and of course ended up shooting glue into my mouth when the clog came off. (Had to use acetone to get everything unstuck and was sick as a dog for a couple of days afterwards.)

But EYES? Man... hurts to even think about it.

[crispini]

49. LOL. You did NOT.

Ok, sorry, I'm sure it was awful, but that's some funny shit. :P

[greenmutha]

89. Yeah, it's been a few years so now I can laugh about it...

a little anyway. Bwahahahahahaha! (I'm such a dumbass sometimes.) :silly:

[sickinohio]

54. My daughter is a Med Assistant for a large opthamologist

practice and she has told me on several ocaisions about patients having done that!! Oooh - how awful!!

[seito]

57. OK, that was funny

I can picture myself doing the same thing. :)

[RevCheesehead]

311. Well, it IS Lent.

Maybe it was preventative medicine.

[greenmutha]

315. Bwahahahahaha! Too. Effin. Funny! n/t

[sparky_in_ma]

13. Hi Ladies & Gents

[bunny planet]

18. Hi Sparky.

[sparky_in_ma]

56. I didn't miss your above post

:)

[bunny planet]

79. Are you ready popsicle toes?

[sparky_in_ma]

81. They are cold tonite. n/t

[bunny planet]

90. I was not referring to their temperature, but instead their delectibility.

First I'll massage them gently like they were delicate champagne grapes.
Can you feel it.

[sparky_in_ma]

97. "sigh"

I'm melting, melting.:)

[bunny planet]

111. We promised Botany we'd treat you right tonight Sparky.

[bunny planet]

140. Do you like the feathers?

[sparky_in_ma]

153. "melt" n/t

[bunny planet]

178. now a little shiatsu on the balls

of your feet.

[greenmutha]

183. ROFLOL! You bad, bad girl you!

Had me goin' there for a minute!

[sparky_in_ma]

191. you said feet!

nyuck, nyuck,.:silly:

[SharonRB]

194. LOL

I thought for sure we were going to get shut down on that one!

[bunny planet]

201. It could still happen.

I'm not done yet.:evilgrin:

[sparky_in_ma]

209. seito must have a bad bunny smiley

somewhere?:)

[bunny planet]

223. You mean like this one.

[sparky_in_ma]

230. : )

You know that bunny just did sumptin.

[seito]

245. Let me see

That was a special order just for you :)

[sparky_in_ma]

248. Now that's what I'm takin about

Thanks seito!

[bleever]

254. Killer rabbit! Run away! Run away!

LMAO. Good one, WP.

:7

[RevCheesehead]

359. What'll he do? Nibble your bum?

[Nothing Without Hope]

146. LOL, Bunny! Good evening and good show!

This treatment will definitely be good anything that ails him. When you need a break from those champagne grape tootsies, I'll spell you for a while.

I've built up the fire till it's just right, cozy and warm. That's good for cold toes, too.

[Nothing Without Hope]

41. Good evening Sparky!! I hope you are prepared for an onslaught

of KOEB TLC!! You're getting multiple footrubs (in stereo!), all the brew you want brought the moment you look like you want it...

...like, now? :beer: At once!

and much well-earned appreciation. Even Botany indicated his concern that we treat you especially well tonight. You haven't been feeling well and besides, you're overdue for your turn in the center of the group hug and the soft-stuffed armchair in front of the fire.

So, any requests besides another brew? And here it is...:beer: And tonight, YOU can choose the music.

To Our Wonderful & Always Charming KOEB Bartender!
:toast:

:loveya: --->Sparky<---:loveya:

KOEB ---> :grouphug: ---> Sparky!

[sparky_in_ma]

62. Hmmm...something the Rev

can play on the piano.:)

[Nothing Without Hope]

127. Excellent choice, and I'm sure she'd be glad to oblige

Maybe some evening when we're feeling especially rowdy and she's in the mood for roof-raising we can import a FULL PIPE ORGAN for the party and she can let loose with the foot trills! I would LOVE to hear THAT. If the neighbors complain, we'll give them a Guinness and have them join the party.
:hippie: :hi: :party: :P :beer: :party: :toast:

[RevCheesehead]

169. Actually, I did that once.

We got back from a church trip and had an overnight at the home church. we were all pretty pumped up and partying. So my friend Jeff (NO NOT THAT JEFF!) and I hit the organ.

Well, someone called the police on us. They came to the door, and everyone said "we weren't that loud," and the police said "no, one of the neighbors was complaining about the organ music." (I still think it was Jeff's fault, not mine. I hold back.)

[Nothing Without Hope]

227. Well, Cheese, there's no holding back with US! LET 'ER RIP!!!

(Ordinarily that last phrase would get Sparky's attention, but he's in a smiling semicoma in the armchair, with Bunny's special footrub! )

My aunt, who was marvelous with seemingly almost any instrument, blasted out a Bach piece on a church pipe organ for me once -- the church was empty except for us in the organ balcony at the time. What an experience!!! Absolutely thrilling, hair-on-the-back-of-the-neck spine-tingling, I can't find the right words to describe it with enough passion. I was a child at the time and I have never forgotten that miraculous moment. Time stopped until the last echoes faded.

As for our neighbors HERE, well, the people discussing the scary and depressing and disgusting latest political events would surely appreciate some uplifting organ music. And there's plenty of Guinness for everyone. They can then go back to the depressing stuff with some internal fortification.

In the meantime, Sparky's requested your piano playing, and I'd love to listen too.

Good evening to you!

[sparky_in_ma]

233. I hear what you're saying

A pipe organ can produce intense emotion. I've never heard Bach done that way.:-(

[RevCheesehead]

283. Well, I can do that.

And sometimes I play the organ, too. :evilgrin:

[sparky_in_ma]

284. LOL

I had a comment, but then we get locked.:)

[RevCheesehead]

289. Send it PM.

Some things should be kept personal, don't ya think? :)

[sparky_in_ma]

294. My thoughts

I would never share with a lady.:evilgrin:

[RevCheesehead]

299. There's a gentleman in the house! (how'd that happen?)

That was really gallant, and for that, you get a bunch of these:
:loveya::loveya::loveya:

[RevCheesehead]

273. For me, the ultimate was playing the mighty Flentrop at Duke:

I also gave a recital in my last year at Div School, on the Aeolian up front - music for Ascension Day and Pentecost. But the Flentrop is my one true love.

[bleever]

278. Wow! Supercool, cheese.

Thanks for the pic, too!

Let's see, Friday is your Saturday, right?

:hi:

[RevCheesehead]

288. Hi, Bleever.

:hi:

Spent a lot of time at that chapel. In my last year, I was a Duke Chapel "worship and arts" intern. Got to do all the grunt work for special services, and work closely with the chapel staff. It was an amazing experience.

I had chapel keys, so I could get in at any time. Before the recital, I'd go in from 10 pm - 2 am to practice, and had the whole place to myself. There is no closer heaven on earth! O8)

[bleever]

305. Wow, again. How nice. Now, as for me,

I once climbed to the very top of the chapel at Carleton College, and needing to leave some token of my conquest, tied my underwear around a spire.

Later, before graduation, my roommate and I snuck into the chapel and suspended a plastic pink lawn flamingo from the rafters over the speaker's podium.

I share this in confidence, knowing that you won't rat me out to God, right?

Right?

:)

[Patsy Stone]

317. OK...

Mea culpa, but I just have to do this... For this story you receive many :loveya:s

[RevCheesehead]

318. I'm quite certain

that God got a kick out of it. How funny! The underwear is clever, but the flamingo is a scream!

Since most graduations occur in May, they are often near the day of Pentecost. You know, when the Spirit descends to the disciples, and red flames appear over their heads. A pink flamingo, IMO, is totally appropriate, and I may borrow that idea for later this year.

[bleever]

Abso-tongues-of-flamin'-lutely.

I'd be honored, beyond my desserts.

[RevCheesehead]

347. Bleev, I was looking for a pic of my church, but it's offline.

(I'm gonna have to check into why that's the case. grr.)

We have a contemporary, A-frame church. I'd love to see ya try to climb that one. And if you can, I'll give you MY underwear to put up there! (But you'll have to hurry, because we're getting a new roof later this year - and then I won't even let the gulls go up there!)

[sparky_in_ma]

350. If you get a pic up

I'd like to see it. I'm curious about what it looks like.

[RevCheesehead]

360. the church, or the underwear?

or both? :evilgrin:

[sparky_in_ma]

363. I meant both. n/t

[Nothing Without Hope]

304. Wow, that is GORGEOUS, and I bet the sound fills your bones when you play

Now that DVDs are getting so easy to make, maybe you can make a recording of your playing on the Flentrop and let us share it at an especially appropriate KOEB moment! Or at other times, too.

As Sparky pointed out, organ music can directly affect your emotions. It's best when it surrounds you and vibrates you from the inside out, but even in a recording it's glorious.

I'm looking forward to listening to you play some day. I'm pretty sure it will happen. And when it does, I want you to promise in advance you won't hold back!

[RevCheesehead]

323. Well, summertime in Algoma is absolutely wonderful...

and that would give me a few months to practice.

(that, too, would be good for my soul.)

[Nothing Without Hope]

371. Yes, that DOES sound like soul food

Over the years I have come to believe that just as mental and physical health benefit greatly from disciplines designed to support and enhance them, the same is true of the ability to maintain a state of hope. I suppose it could also be considered a kind of spiritual energy, though the term "spiritual" has become side-tracked in so many directions its meaning is sometimes fuzzy.

In any case, as I grew past the time of life when optimism and energy came spontaneously (which is one of the great gifts of young people and just one of the reasons they need to be included prominently in political movements, by the way), I gradually realized that I had to deliberately pursue ways to keep my hope up. It's a discipline in which I have a very great deal to learn, but then there IS so much to be learned -- a positive point in its own right. The varieties of what can be called "hope food" or perhaps "hope-muscle exercises" appear to be endless. I can well imagine your gorgeous, time-expanding organ music among them. If I can feel it even as a listener; I can only guess what it must be to play and send those delicate trills and mighty chords flying out into the waiting silence.

Contining to fight in the horrible state this country is in takes a LOT of "hope food." It would be easy, and uttlerly fatal to any chance of turning things around to a better path, to give up and join the chorus bleating about how hopeless it all is. Well, I believe that if you allow yourself to lose all hope, you have nothing left -- hence my username.

Painting and drawing feed me, as does walking through natural places and watching all the daily changes as the seasons turn. Reading and indulging my endless curiosity have fed me all my life.

Of course, many especially hope-building events involve other people. You would know all about that. I'll close this post with a favorite quote on this:

In everyone's life, at some time, our inner fire goes out. It is then burst into flame by an encounter with another human being. We should all be thankful for those people who rekindle the inner spirit. –Albert Schweitzer, philosopher, physician, and musician (1875-1965)

[RevCheesehead]

373. Thanks, Hope.

I love your name. It is filled with promise.

I was just reading how it is so important to keep nurturing our spiritual side....and how women in mid-life (pre-menopause) are especially susceptible to despair. This, of course, is the classic time to focus on our inner spirituality.

You'd be amazed at how many pastors do NOT do this. These are the pastors who get in trouble: affairs, alcoholism, abuse in all its forms.... We get so busy focusing on other people's needs, we forget that we have to be especially focused on our own needs, and not just fill them with whatever is available at the time.

Hope, you have inspired me to seriously return to the keyboard. (And in advance, let me say "my Dad thanks you" - because he's been nagging me for years about it (and here I thought he was just ticked that I had wasted 2 decent music degrees).

[Nothing Without Hope]

377. Well, Cheese, you've really made my night.

No, I wouldn't be at all surprised that many pastors fall into the all-too-natural trap of giving too low a priority to feeding their own store of hope. They want to help, there is always so much to do, and there is always a long list of people who are needy. It's their job and their responsibility, so they can't as easily lose themselves in more neutral tasks like, say, a scientist can. (We scientists are in danger from other kinds of burnout, like going too far to the purely mental, "safe" side of life and starving the emotional side. But that's a different story.)

I think this comes of being taught that giving must come first, and anything else is selfishness. That's a BIIIIIIG mistake. The fact is, there's only so much spiritual energy within us at a given time, and it varies from day to day and at different times during the day. It can be fed and it can be drained. It's finite. It's such a common and tragic mistake to overlook that finiteness and keep trying to give more and more and more without replenishing ourselves.

You'll have noted that the Schweitzer quote I cited describes him as three things, and one of them is as a musician. There's a lesson there, I think -- I'm betting that music was one of his self-replenishment strategies. Sounds like you're blessed to have that strategy available to you as well. How wonderful to be able to derive (and give) so much intense pleasure while at the same time refilling the well.

Music isn't enough, and I'm sure you have other "hope food" sources, but from the sound of it, it's one really important source for you. Otherwise you wouldn't have been so drawn for it for so long.

Oh, I hope you do allow yourself to put a high priority on returning to this side of yourself. I'm betting your father has been asking you to not only because of all the training, but because he knows you well enough to realize that you need it in a profound kind of way.

If all goes well, he'll have the special bonus reward of being able to tell you that he told you so!

It sounds to me as though there really needs to be a concerted, organized effort invested in developing teaching approaches for ministers who are risking emotional burnout from shortchanging their own replenishment. I can sure see a lot of wonderful things that might be included in a workshop, say, or an online course on this vital subject. It could save lives, maybe even literally in addition to the readmission of life-enhancing spiritual energy. Does this sound like a project that might interest you? I've always found that teaching something deepens my own appreciation and grasp of it, and in this case that could be a wonder in its own right.

Enough preaching. I'm really excited about your allowing yourself to turn to your music and hope to hear more.
:pals:

[RevCheesehead]

380. No, preach on, Hope, preach on!

I know Schweitzer well - I wrote a report on him when I was in 6th grade (we had to do a biography, and I chose an organist!). His life was one of giving and loving.

Your statement "music is not enough" is freaking me out, because that is what I said when I left the church music field to go to seminary. But I've been getting that calling to return, or rather, to blend the two together. That's what my dad's been trying to tell me.

This is a lonely profession, and it demands a high amount of energy. Most of the time it's do-able; but lately, it's been a lot to bear.

I'm probably going to miss most of the KOEB next week. I've got to go take my mom to the Dr on Monday and Friday (they live 3 hours away). And I just found out that my brother is coming from PA. (That put me in tears, because John doesn't just do that. My mom's not well.)

So, again, thanks for the words of Hope and encouragement. It really means a lot to me.

Thank you, my virtual friend. :hug:

[Nothing Without Hope]

382. Sounds like your life is in an "interesting" phase

when priorities shift and the pressure level and stakes rise. I'll be thinking about you and sending you "positive vibes" next week.

Re the "freaking out," what I meant is that one of my discoveries for myself is that I can't get what I need by focussing too narrowly on just a few sources of energy or areas of endeavor. I had a feeling that -- as art and/or scientific research is for me -- music by itself wouldn't be enough, but that doesn't mean that it isn't a wonderful source to build into your evolving mix.

Something I had neglected to add earlier is that laughter, especially with friends, is on the list of sources. It's one of the benefits of the KOEB and I hope it will be included in the Mission Statement for the Group. It's serious business, laughter is.

My best wishes -- what else to call it? that sounds so Hallmark -- are coming atcha, Cheese. I hope that when you need it most you'll be able to sense warmth of the interconnected world of caring souls all around you.

Good night!
:pals:

[sparky_in_ma]

374. That was quite touching

Thank you for sharing with us.:hug:

[Nothing Without Hope]

378. Hullo Sparky, how are you feeling after your TLC session?

I'll bet your toes are tingling and your muscles are all relaxed into little puddles. That Bunny sure knows what she's doing with foot rubs, I'm impressed! Who would have thought of feathers!!!

I can personally vouch for the wonderful effects of shiatsu massage -- I just had one this morning. I do recommend it strongly for a variety of mental, emotional and physical complaints. It not only helps in surprising ways, it is pure bliss.

Speaking of bliss, are you there yet? Have another KOEB brew, they don't give you hangovers or send you to the bathroom, nice as it is with its potpourri.
:beer:

Thanks for the hug, it is very welcome and returned with a smile!
:pals:

[sparky_in_ma]

379. I feel great tonite

got to work early this morning, so off to bed. Good-nite.:hug:

[Nothing Without Hope]

381. Good night to you and your lucky, Bunny-rubbed feet

and happy dreams!
O8) :boring: O8)

[Clark2008]

247. I have no EARTHLY idea what is going on in THIS section of the

thread, but it sounds like the booze has been flowing rather freely!!

LMAO!!

[RevCheesehead]

292. Hey, I have been extraordinarily good tonight.

You must mean some other alcoholics here. :P

[Nothing Without Hope]

332. This corner of the room has been devoted to intense Sparky TLC

and to a highly stimulating discussion of fine music.

Sparky is approaching a happily comatose state in the Armchair Of Honor in front of the fire, with Bunny giving him the footrub of his life and the rest of us serving him KOEB brews and answering his every expressed whim. You really must take in the smile on his face -- it's a classic. He was overdue for a smile like that - we need to see that he gets more of them.

Now, if Keef ever came out of lurking mode long enough to make himself known, HE could take HIS turn in the KOEB Armchair Of Honor. I'm sure he would benefit from the footrubs, brew, and good company too! He must get mighty upset with what he has to deal with, trying to tell the truth when he is the last one on TV to do so. It's an awesome responsibility and he needs some TLC from the people who appreciate the importance of what he is doing. We can update his wardrobe advice and sharpen his snark relfexes while we're at it!

You're right, the brew has been flowing copiously over here and the music is GREAT!!! It's a nice balance to the political talk elsewhere in the room. I can only take so much of that before I have to refuel my spirits with good company and laughter.

Good to see you tonight, Clarkie! :hi:

ed:sp

[Clark2008]

342. Hi NWH!

That Sparky is one in a million! But, then are all of the selected KOEB males. They dared to go into a thread where other males feared to tread!

:hug: 's to Sparky, Botany and Bleev!

[sparky_in_ma]

344. Thanks Clark

:loveya: :hug:

[RevCheesehead]

358. Yeah, poor Sparky.

[Nothing Without Hope]

372. ROTFLMAO, Cheese! Great picture!

But he is actually sprawled in an armchair in front of the fire with his feet out where Bunny can work her magic on them. You'll have to read the amazing exchange between her and Sparky to get the full oomph. ;)

I think I sense another KOEB classic in the making here...

[Patsy Stone]

47. Happy Friday, snarky

How are you doing? :toast:

[sparky_in_ma]

63. Hiya Patsy

:toast:

[greenmutha]

53. Hi Sparky!

:hi: Botany says we need to wait on you for a change... so here ya go! :beer: and :toast:

[sparky_in_ma]

69. Thanks green

I needed that!:toast:

[Clark2008]

14. LOL!! What a goofy pic he just showed of blivet!!

:)

Keith, :yourock:

[crispini]

15. Hi ladies!

:hi: WOW, *Botany* started the thread. That's a first eh?

I get to be here tonight for the news quiz! Woooooooooooo!

[greenmutha]

59. Hi Crispini!

:hi: Glad to see you here in real time! :toast:

[WhirlyGirl]

253. Hi, crispini!

[crispini]

263. Hi WG and greenmutha!

Finally made it back up here to the top of the thread, whew!

[Patsy Stone]

17. How progressive...

A man starting the thread!
For Botany, sparky, bleever, ul and all of our deliciously open-minded men: :loveya::loveya::loveya::loveya:

[Nothing Without Hope]

99. Yes! Let's hear it for the charming & and brave men of the KOEB!

including the more occasional but always welcome visitors like ClassWarrior and the interesting lurkers like KO!

To our guys, who know exactly how and when (and when NOT) to be a gentleman!
:toast:

They are indeed wise, for they have found a way to benefit from the many valuable health benefits of estrogen -- apparently including intimidation of nasty freepers -- without having to grow their own!
:nuke: :nuke: :D :nuke: :nuke:

...AND have a good time and be charming while they are doing it!

[Patsy Stone]

269. So right!

And, to CW... How could I have left you out? :loveya:

[Botany]

309. deliciously open-minded men

I hate to burst your bubble but I am just a man driven by
sex, hunger, thirst, heat, booze, drugs, & snark. sorry to
disappoint. I am just a humble guy ....... lol

:bounce:

[greenmutha]

312. Hey! Botany's back! Can I pour you a cold one?

(edited for drunken schpelling)

[Botany]

320. God Lord yes

Begging the Rev's forgiveness ........

I have been involved in a STUPID case and have had to be in court .....
funny the bad guy is a rich repug (he is getting smoked!) ..... Gee,
seems to me that he is more than willing to use a lawyer when needed.

:bounce:

[greenmutha]

324. Sounds like you need one! Here, take two for a backup.

:beer: :beer: and a lil' :hug: for ya too.

[sparky_in_ma]

322. Hi Botany

Thanks for the shout out. I told Steph a nice story about you and the puppy. Is it ok to talk about saving the children from the sinking ship? I know you don't like to brag.

[Clark2008]

330. Here - tonight's topics are organs (of the MUSICAL variety), Keith's

snark (a nightly favorite) and boots (of the sexy variety, like these: )

OK, which appetite is whetted. LOL!

[sparky_in_ma]

338. Those boots

are NOT made for walkin. I like that.

[Clark2008]

346. Uh... they still might walk all over you

Better watch out!

339. You know what?

After re-reading all of these threads, we don't seem to care what drives you men to join us. I mean, sure, we HOPE it's KO (or, dear, in your case, Steph), but we're not stupid. Drunk on Fridays sure, but never stupid. :)

[WhirlyGirl]

298. This is becoming a 24-hour affair!

[Clark2008]

20. FINALLY! A NEWS story about Michael Jackson instead of the

faint and bloat of "the trial."

Poor woman.

[Miami Liberal]

21. Hello KOEB'ers

There are some new pics up at Olbermann.org.

Notice the big hands.:wow:

I'll be back in a bit.

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

[Clark2008]

45. He's got the whole world in his BIG hands, he's got the whole wide

world in his (BIG) hand, he's got the whole world in his (BIG) hands, he's got the whole world in his (BIG) hands...

OK - the fundies will be after me for that one!

:evilgrin:

[RevCheesehead]

186. I prefer to think that he's holding it up (levitating) by sheer will.

That is a wonderful picture, and fully worthy of :loveya:'s

[WhirlyGirl]

271. "Spanning the globe...." Hey, wrong network for Wide World...

... Maybe, in honor of the Republicans, it's KO's version of Chaplin's "The Great Dictator"!

[SharonRB]

22. Hi, everyone

Boy, you really got started early.

Bush's poll numbers are down again!

[Nothing Without Hope]

277. The blivet**'s approval numbers have been down for a long time

so it's interesting that they are allowing the fudged published polls to inch down a bit.

Maybe they thought it might be a bit suspicious to keep the "approval ratings" as high as they've been for so long, given the uniformly bad news about his administration. After all, once they lose all credibility, the polls -- run by those outfits that like to stress how SCIENTIFIC they are -- sink to the level of the propaganda-mongering corporate media....

...except for our wonderful, brave, fighting, funny Keith!
:loveya: :loveya: :loveya:

[RevCheesehead]

308. Yeah, I got one of those Zogby interactive polls last week.

Some of the questions were strange, like "do you celebrate St. Patrick's Day?" and "are you of Irish descent?"

"The Truth is out there" according to Agent Mulder.

[Patsy Stone]

23. Okay, MJ is now a murderer.

WTF? OMG. :puke:

[bunny planet]

30. I can't watch, did MJ go postal on somebody.

[crispini]

35. Hospital staff moved someone to make room for MJ.

Lady was critical, later DIED.

[bunny planet]

76. What a class act the one-gloved wonder is.

They should take away his box of nose tips for that. Make him walk around completely noseless. WTF

[SharonRB]

No, they moved a woman on life support to make room

for him in the hospital and she died.

[Patsy Stone]

38. Nope

he was given star treatment for a 98.9 degree fever and a grandmother died because of it. Feh! A pox on him.

Hiya, bunny! :hi: He's wearing a very purple tie. :loveya:

ed: sp (ya think?)

[bunny planet]

83. Poiple! I love it when he wears purple.

[seito]

101. He looks sweeeet

:loveya: :loveya: :loveya:

[crispini]

24. Is that a new suit?

Don't most of his black suits have pinstripes, etc?

I can't BELIEVE that the hospital actually MOVED someone to make room for Michael Jackson! Hoooboy.

That blue tie looks like the same pattern as the red tie, doesn't it?

:wtf: circumvent MJ from receiving a fair trial?

[Patsy Stone]

27. Maybe...

Regardless, our man looks WAY hot tonight. Love that tie. :)

:loveya::loveya:

[seito]

36. Unbelievable

They unplugged her from life support...WTF were they thinking.

Keef is lookin mighty fine tonight. :loveya: :loveya: :loveya:

Hi crispini :hi:

[crispini]

61. Hi seito!

:hi:

[crispini]

28. Wow, KO talking about getting the star treatment himself.

That must be a trip.

MJ had the "fake flu" ha ha ha ha!

[Clark2008]

31. Can I give Keith a PRIVATE eye exam, huh, can I, can I?

[flyarm]

51. ohhh if you must...

get as close as you can to the lips though!!!and we need a full report!!

giggling..fly:loveya: :loveya: :loveya:

[Clark2008]

192. Hi Fly!

LOL! I just now saw this post. :hi:

Close to the lips drives stakes through the hips... but I didn't say that out loud. Shhhhhhhhhh...

Sorry, it's the dark brew I'm imbibing.

[flyarm]

232. watch the dark stuff!!

ahhh you can say that out loud...its cute!!!!!!!!!

256. We'll have to exchange baseball stories some night.

Of course, I was but 12 years old and a Huntsville Starette for the, well, Huntsville Stars - but, hey! I knew Canseco and Javier! LMAO!

I'm sure it's NOTHING like the stories you could tell, but, alas, that's my baseball story and I'm stickin' to it!

:)

:hug: to you, too!

[WhirlyGirl]

275. Clark, that revolving halo ...

32. Aw, what a cute little girl.

Homosassa, Florida? What kind of name is that? :P

Damn, they found a body but it WASN'T HER? :scared:

[sparky_in_ma]

37. 5 minutes

That's all I'd like with the sicko.:mad:

[Clark2008]

60. It's Native American... and Keith pronounced it correctly for them, but

incorrectly as it's pronounced in the state. Floridians pronounce it "HommasassIE." I know, I used to live THERE, too.
Man, Keith's just scrolling through my former and current hometowns this week, ain't he? I'll start worrying if he mentions Huntsville, Seymour and Anderson.
LOL!

[SharonRB]

33. How about this one, ladies and gents...

[rodeodance]

55. Go to www.jeffgannon.org during the commericial for a good laugh

[SharonRB]

68. Did they actually get something up there already?

I saw a thread this afternoon asking for ideas and help. They must have moved fast!

[SharonRB]

77. That's a hoot -- here, I'll save everyone the trouble.

[seito]

95. OMG, you need to post a warning

My virgin eyes :wow: and :puke:

[SharonRB]

107. Someone had a great time with Photoshop today.

[rodeodance]

109. sorry--yes, should have gave a warning--but virgin? give me a break

[seito]

129. What are you tryin to say

[greenmutha]

190. Bwahahahahaha! n/t

[bunny planet]

265. OMG I just saw this.

Now that is funny.

An art afterpiece.

[bunny planet]

138. I just can't, but I hear it is unintentionally hysterical.

I'm telling you, this guy is just trying to stay alive at this point. The minute he stops talking he gets to sleep with the fishes.

[SharonRB]

154. No, this isn't his site

Someone on DU looked and found that www.jeffgannon.org wasn't being used, so he purchased the domain name and they're going to do a satirical site. He was asking for ideas and help today on another thread.

[bunny planet]

175. I hear the real Jeff Gannon site is so pathetic, it already IS a satirical

site. He's the new Republican martyr.

[RevCheesehead]

236. Was that Walt Star? n/t

[SharonRB]

279. I don't remember

It may have been in the lounge.

[Clark2008]

334. It was Goldmund.

I'm supposed to be writing snarky for this, as soon as he gives me my assignment. :)

[Shopaholic]

72. This is the one that got me--

it's of Keith reporting at Ground Zero:

[crispini]

112. Aww... now that's kinda heartwrenching, isn't it?

[greenmutha]

113. Is this his High School senior photo?

What a cutie! :loveya: :loveya:

[SharonRB]

148. Yeah

It was on www.olbermann.org.

[WhirlyGirl]

282. Young KO, so dewy-eyed and just starting out...

Ooooooooooooooooohhh, KEEEEeeeeeeeeeeeeeith! <sigh>

[RevCheesehead]

337. Alas, the 70's were not kind to many of us.

I just don't understand the return to the 70's thing. Mostly because when I was in school, the craze was "return to the 50's." I remember snarking "so I guess that in the 90's, they'll have a return to the 70's? Disco sucks."

I was so relieved when the 90's came and went. And then: AAARRRGH! They're back!

note: people who lived in the 70's seldom romanicize it. And nobody would love it if they had to wear 100% polyester of the 70's. Nobody.

[crispini]

42. Why does all of this awful stuff

happen in Texas? :mad:

SOME of us are same, ya'll.

[sparky_in_ma]

46. The court thing happened here also

a couple of years ago. I just left from jury duty when a guy killed his wife outside in the parking lot.:(

[rodeodance]

48. good grief--anothe shot of Condi's black boots!! why is everyone- (KO)

absessed with black attire?

[bunny planet]

118. oh yeah, that Condi is the first person you think of when the word

dominatrix comes up. She's fierce.
Helmet head is so sensuous.

[bleever]

167. I missed them, I know I shouldn't look, but my curiosity is

getting the better of me.

Linky?

[flyarm]

65. glad to know there is one of you sane!!

actually i lived there for 8 yrs while flying for american!!

dallas..northpark area!!

hi crispini!!! how are ya'll...hook'em horns!!

fly:loveya: :loveya: :loveya:

[crispini]

87. Dallas! me too.

but not a UT alum. :7 I live near White Rock Lake. American's my default airline, gee I wonder why? :P

[flyarm]

145. lol..need i guess??

i left there in 1977 and moved my base to ny!!

i could no longer deal with people talking so slow!!

i was and always will be a joisey girl!

but then again i have lived in 9 states ..so i sound like a mutt with a joisey accent!!

fly

:loveya: :loveya: :loveya:

[greenmutha]

147. Hey! I've been to White Rock Lake!

I used to work for a company that specialized in interior hotel renovation. We did lots of them in Big D. (The Hilton at LBJ and the Tollway, The Crowne Plaza in Farmer's Branch, a TravelLodge conversion that was by that Safari thing off of I-30, and a couple more I can't remember exactly... getting senile, I guess.)

My favorite places were on lower Greenville. We used to go to Caulfield's and "get potted" all the time... and the Mexican place! What was it... The Blue Goose, I think?

I *love* Dallas!

[crispini]

226. Oh, yeah, the Blue Goose!

Lower Greenville is nice. Dallas really does have a lot to recommend it. What other city has a lake smack in the middle of it?

Did ya'll do the "Hiltop" hotel by any chance? That's my fave hotel just because it's owned by some Maharishi or something. We call it the cult hotel. When they bought it they changed on letter in the name, from the Hilton to the Hiltop. So I guess they probably didn't pay for any hotel renovations, heh heh.

[flyarm]

243. my roomate had a boat at white rock lake..but ..

of course when i was there it was like east jabip..it was out in no mans land!! that was before dfw!!
there was nothing out there when i started flying..i flew out of love field and was on the 8th flight to take off out of new dfw!!

and it was desolete out there..now..its exploded!!

huggies for the dallas gal crispini!!!!

fly:hug: :hug: :hug: :loveya: :loveya: :loveya:

[crispini]

258. Aw, hugs for you too!

:hug: Yeah, this place keeps changing. I guess most places do that! :P

[greenmutha]

260. Was it the Hilton at the top of the Tollway?

We did that one in (I think) late 1988/early '89. It was still a Hilton at the time, but they did close it down while we were remodeling. There was a HUGE ice storm while we were there, and they brought in the kitchen staff to cook meals for us because we couldn't go anywhere to eat because of the ice.

[crispini]

272. No, it was the one on Central Expressway.

Yeah, those ice storms are something. We get one every few years. Just stay inside; the traffic is NOTHING to mess with!

[Patsy Stone]

44. Posted for Sydnie because she's gonna be late or absent.

Need help with the KOEB "shoot your mug" game please
From: Sydnie
Date: Feb 24th 2005

Patsy,

I am never here on Friday nights and I thought that would be the best night to start the post about the game. I was hoping that you would post about it this Friday for me.

I had a few ideas that may or may not be included in the game, depending on what every one wants to do.

For those that don't have a mug, I would be happy to mail one of mine out to them, with the idea that they either mail it to the next person or back to me to mail out again when needed.

I think it would be a good idea if they took a pic somewhere in their town/city that represents where they live, if possible.

I would like it very much if they would send some "token" that represents their city or their feelings about KO and the work he does as a gift for KO when we send him the finished product.

I would volunteer to print out all the pics and place them in an album with a personal note from the person in the picture placed with their picture, if anyone wants to include one.

These are just ideas, nothing is written in stone for sure. What ever everyone wants to do, will be fine with me. I just can't seem to get my schedule to work so that I am here early enough on Fridays lately to begin to arrange to do this.

What do you think? Can we pull this off?

Syd

[SharonRB]

91. I responded where you posted this on the other thread under media.

[Patsy Stone]

102. I saw

I just told her I'd post it. It seems like fun. :hi: Sharon!

[SharonRB]

119. Hi, Patsy!

:hi:

[Patsy Stone]

171. Any more news

from flybynight?

[Gogi]

375. And to think I almost bought a digital camera today!

I'd take a picture of the KOEB mug with my cat drinking out of it just to tease KO since I don't think he likes cats.

A picture of myself? Well, first I need to get my hair cut, buy some makeup, have a facial, lose 20 pounds, have my teeth whitened and get new clothes as well as the aforementioned mug and camera. That should take, oh, 6 months at least.

[Greylyn58]

[rodeodance]

70. bush ratings DOWN!!---make my day!!

[bunny planet]

219. Can't we vote him off if he has the lowest numbers.

It's time to start running this country like American Idol. More people vote, and you get rid of somebody who's not performed well every week.

[greenmutha]

264. I like the way you think!

Wouldn't it be wunnerful?

President Bush's European Vacation... The special wrap-up as only
Countdown can...

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

Keith blogs. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/6210240/

* Pope John Paul II is breathing on his own, but his doctors have advised him not to speak for a few days, the Vatican said Friday, a day after he was rushed to a hospital and underwent surgery to ease another breathing crisis. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/7022618/

* An attorney for the parents of Terri Schiavo say Florida's social services agency is seeking a 60-day delay in the removal of the woman's feeding tube while it investigates new allegations of her abuse and neglect. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/6081359/

* A roadside bomb killed three U.S. soldiers and wounded eight others north of Baghdad on Friday, the U.S. military said, while the Iraqi government announced the capture of three figures associated with Iraq's bloody insurgency. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/6913272/

* Fort Worth woman says her new husband is incapable of murder -- even though police say he's confessed to killing his pregnant ex-girlfriend and her son, Dallas television station KXAS reported. Trish Barbee says "it's impossible" that Stephen Dale Barbee, 37, could have killed 34-year-old Lisa Underwood and her 7-year-old son, Jayden Underwood. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/7024203/

* The police car chase -- fun to watch, but is it necessary?

And Friday's Favorite, the NEWSQUIZ.

That's some of what we're working on for tonight's show.

Finally, Animal rights activists are disgusted by a new candy from Kraft Foods Inc. that's shaped like critters run over by cars - complete with tire treads. The fruity-flavored Trolli Road Kill Gummi Candy - in shapes of partly flattened snakes, chickens and squirrels - fosters cruelty toward animals, according to the New Jersey Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals.

I'll take a mango martini! Yummmmmmmmm.

(Ah, virtual alcohol. No calories!)

[flyarm]

255. ohhhh i make them soooo gooood!! n/t

[Clark2008]

100. I was just reading your post about serving drinks and Keith said,

"BEER, BEER, BEER!"

I'm LOLing!!!

P.S. Patsy, there was ANOTHER reference to marijuana!!

[Patsy Stone]

115. I missed you by two minutes this time

I posted below at 8:27 p.m. I would have tied you, but I had "spelling under the influence" issues. :toast:

Hi, Clark! :hi:

[Clark2008]

136. Hi Patsy

:hi:

I'm under the influence, as well, but my reflexes are strong - hic - er.

[Patsy Stone]

287. LOL

Really, you gotta love Fridays around this place. :toast:

[RevCheesehead]

120. I heard that.

I dunno what I want to drink tonight. Any suggestions?

[bunny planet]

240. Sparky can't do it. I'm walking on his back now.

[Catchawave]

93. Keefie's fiesty tonight.....

God, I love it:loveya:

[rodeodance]

105. hey-beer school--sign me up

[crispini]

103. LOL, Cheech and Chong -- another pot reference.

A course on beer?

[flyarm]

110. fly me...opps with one engine down..but not to worry...

nowwwwww...and no bitching!!

fly:loveya: :loveya: :loveya: :loveya:

[Patsy Stone]

108. And in keeping with KO's Friday Tradition

ANOTHER marijuana reference (Cheech & Chong! Oh, KO :loveya:). This one followed by the phrase "grow lights".

[Greylyn58]

117. The shrub

is such an embarrassment. I can't stand to even hear him talk. And if I hear "Freedom is on the march" one more time!!!! :argh:

You know Clinton was a real Southerner with a real accent, yet the right-wingers wanted to portray him as some lying, redneck hick. (who I should add is probably smarter than most, if not all of them)

Yet this jerk, squatting in OUR White House, puts on this fake Texas accent and he's some kind of freaking genius.

:shrug: I just don't know any more.

[bleever]

123. Hey! (pant pant wheeze wheeze) I made it!

Hi, everybody. Hope this Friday evening finds you all in good spirits, or at least with a glass of good spirits!

:hi:

[Patsy Stone]

128. Hey, that's me!

Hiya, bleever! :toast:

[bleever]

161. Hi Pats!

Spelling trouble already? Maybe the KOEB needs handsome young stenographers to assist the EDVs who've already put in a hard day before they get here.

:hi:

[Patsy Stone]

181. Who would apply?

I mean, sheesh, we already have bartenders, restroom attendants, bodice-rippers and bouncers... We're gonna be upside-down in the payroll department if we keep hiring like this. :) Unless you know someone who would agree to be an intern? They won't die trying -- no Joe Scarborough, we... :)

I got home early and heard the small voice of a bottle in the freezer. What can I say? It's Friday and I got a big year-end bonus today. :toast:

[bleever]

198. Now really, we'd be turning potential interns away.

And year end bonus? Wahoo!

I'm ending MY year right here!

That's it for me folks! You've been great! Don't forget to try your servers and tip the sushi!

:7

[bleever]

205. Hey: it's time someone said it: I like Perky Girl!

She's a good player on Team Keef.

Hi, Monica!

:)

[sparky_in_ma]

213. She is sweet

For Monica:loveya:

[bleever]

Note to Monica: sparky was drunk and blissed out and was still

gentleman enough to put up the floaty hearts for you, so that's saying something.

That's the kinda guy he is.

:hi:

[bleever]

241. (P.S.: don't miss the experts' recommendation on cleavage,

posted elsewhere on this thread.)

--a friend.

[greenmutha]

293. Here ya go, Bleev:

(This photo brought to you courtesy of some drunk chicks at a christmas party.) My SO has a cleavage fetish, and collects photos of nothing but! We have TONS of them!

[sparky_in_ma]

297. and thank you greenmutha

:smoke:

[greenmutha]

303. Jus' a lil' present for the men of the KOEB!

Gots LOTS more where that came from! :evilgrin:

[sparky_in_ma]

327. You are so thoughtful

floaties for you!:loveya: :loveya:

[Patsy Stone]

300. OMG

You are gonna get us locked for sure!
"Oh, wicked, bad, naughty Zoot!" :evilgrin:

[greenmutha]

306. I *have* been compared to her before, ya know.

There's nuffin bad showin' - is there?

[Patsy Stone]

326. Oh, wicked, wicked Zoot.

Oh, she is a naughty person and she must pay the penalty, and here in Castle Anthrax, we have but one punishment for setting alight the grail-shaped beacon: you must tie her down on a bed and spank her.

[sparky_in_ma]

329. Did someone call me?

:smoke:

[greenmutha]

331. :-)

And then spank me! No me! Me! :toast:

One of my favorite movies... I still laugh after all these years. Did you hear about the Broadway play Eric Idle is doing? Spamalot? I MUST GO SOMEHOW.

(edited for drunken schpelling - AGAIN! Sheesh. Guess I knead to git offa tha keybord.) ;-) G'nite everybody!

[Patsy Stone]

348. Yes.I.Did.

It was about to open when I was in NYC. Tim Curry is in it. Couldja just die? :loveya:

But, I don't feel like I'm in peril:

[greenmutha]

351. YES! Thanks for the pic... love it!

Here's a nighty-nite hug :hug:

[Patsy Stone]

354. And a hug for you

:grouphug: See you later, green...

[bleever]

313. Note to Monica: the subtle approach also works.

Thanks, greenie. That's what I call sharing.

:hi:

[sparky_in_ma]

242. LOL Thanks Bleever

:D

[sparky_in_ma]

130. Hi Bleever Hi Steph

:toast:

[seito]

137. Hey Doc

Feeling much better. Your prescription did the trick :)

Happy Friday

[bleever]

176. As they say, "if you can't be with the ones you love...

get over there anyway!"

Nice to see you, WP.

:hi:

[crispini]

149. Hi bleever!

Hope it's a good one at su casa! :toast:

[bleever]

185. Mi casa su casa, crispi, if your rabble-rousing EDV travels

ever take you to the Bay Area.

I've even got the inside track on good bike rides around here.

:hi:

[crispini]

238. Oooo. We have a vendor out there...

I've been out there two or three times in the last couple of years. If work provides, I'll give ya a buzz! ;) And maybe make it a long weekend and bring the bike!

[bleever]

250. We've got fabulous hills and wooded roads with spectacular

vistas.

We could probably set you up with a bike, too; road or mountain.

And I already have a buzz, but the more the better!

:)

[crispini]

280. LOL, bleev!

:thumbsup:

[flyarm]

252. hi bleever..

glad you could make it..!!!and pull up a chair and we'll fix you a drink!!

hugs..fly:loveya: :loveya: :loveya:

[bleever]

261. Hiya fly. Always nice to see you, and see what you have to say.

At first, I thought you'd never get to 1000 tonight, but the way things are going, now I'm not so sure. :)

:hi:

[Patsy Stone]

126. The Pope was WRITING JOKES????

Who hired him?

"The material's gotta be sensational for me..." :hi:

[RevCheesehead]

134. Maybe he's joined the staff of "The Daily Show"

Now THAT would be funny.

[Patsy Stone]

142. He could write

"This Week in God" LOL.

Hey, Rev... Happy Friday!

[RevCheesehead]

159. But Stephen Colbert is so good at it!

Oh, you said "write," didn't ya? :)

Hi, Patsy.

[WhirlyGirl]

144. Yeah, he ate a BISCUIT...

... and THEN he wrote:

"This reminds me of a SportsCenter catchphrase!"

YUK!!

[bleever]

268. (Coughing up a lung here)...oh...oh...oh my...

Whew!...and I bet he didn't write the one about the new priest at confession who asks the altar boy what the monseigneur gives for a...well, never mind. In fact, I don't even know the punch line.

;)

[crispini]

131. Would starting a Pope deathpool be in poor taste?

Yeah, I guess it would, eh? :P

[sparky_in_ma]

135. Oh yea

:evilgrin:

[SharonRB]

141. Yeah, I'm Jewish and I still think it would be in poor taste n/t

[Patsy Stone]

133. I think I asked this question last night!

KO, have you been stealing my material, too? :loveya:

[Clark2008]

143. LOL! I knew someone had asked about the "Vice Pope" last night

but didn't remember it was you.

:)

Good on ya! ;)

[Patsy Stone]

152. Father Thomas J. Reese...

That's a weird dude right there.

For KO: :loveya: Just ask me and I'd be happy to write for you. :)

[Patsy Stone]

139. Okay, could this priest

be a little thinner and more weird-looking? And a voice to match. Fabulous.

[flyarm]

155. teri shievo is across the water from me here in clearwater

i am in pinellas..

i dont know how i feel about this..except i am sick of them showing years old pictures of her..those pics are so old..its propaganda..

shaking head here...fly:loveya: :loveya: :loveya:

[Patsy Stone]

166. Hi, fly

I really wish they'd have left that whole thing alone. It's nobody's business, and the fact that that fat slob, Jebbie, had to stick his nose into the whole thing blows. I still say legalize euthanasia.

Also, how MUCH do you hate those Florida "Choose Life" license plates? I always think of Frankie Goes to Hollywood when I see them, then I remember who our Governor is and I just get mad. :mad:

[flyarm]

189. hi patsy sweetie!!

i agree it was scientology that got jeb involved...

and its the little fishys on the back of cars that drive me nuts!!
they have the fishys whatever they mean ..and i have bring em home on my car and "don't blame me i voted kerry"...and the fishys give me the finger..go figure??

such godly people...gotta love em...cough , coke, cough!!

huggies..fly:loveya: :loveya: :loveya:

[flyarm]

193. keef looks really good tonight!!

woooo woooo!!

fly:loveya: :loveya: :loveya:

[Patsy Stone]

276. John Kerry for President

I still have the sticker on my car. I have to say that in my little blue corner of FL, I see more K/E stickers on a daily basis than * stickers. It always makes me happy.

I hate the fish. I had the Darwin fish on my last car. I plan to start taking those stupid Wal-Mart "Support the Troops" magnets off the cars in parking lots very soon. Why don't they just send the $9.99 to the frickin' soldiers instead of to the Chinese manufacturers? :mad:

[bunny planet]

286. I am so with you on that. I detest those magnets and they are everywhere.

I did see a 'Support the Troops, Bring Them Home' ribbon magnet on a car the other day. That one I liked.

[Patsy Stone]

291. See, I can get behind that.

It wouldn't be so bad if I didn't only see them on the biggest gas-guzzling vehicles. I can never decide if I want to scream, "F'n HYPOCRITE!" or sometihing about pitying the size of their manhood when I see them. :evilgrin:

[bunny planet]

310. F*cking hypocrite works for me. I've been flipping off a lot of people

with vile bumperstickers lately. I don't think lots of people get my DU bumpersticker (why are the Democrats underground?), otherwise I'm sure I'd get flipped off in return.

[SaveAmerica]

355. Hey Pats, don't take mine off!

I have some on my car with the names of my relatives that are in Iraq written on them in permanent marker to show there are actually soldiers that should be supported. They are positioned right above my Kerry bumper sticker. I think I just wanted to show GW voters they don't own the concept of supporting our troops - just the opposite.
I'll give you one of these :loveya: if you don't take my ribbons!! : )

[Patsy Stone]

376. Nope, I won't -- Promise... n/t :)

[RevCheesehead]

150. There is a great big full moon out tonight.

That explains a lot, don'tcha think?

[WhirlyGirl]

156. I mentioned the same to my husband last night.

There's so much weird news.

[flyarm]

200. hi whirly girl!!!

happy friday at koeb!!

fly:loveya: :loveya: :loveya:

[WhirlyGirl]

237. HI, fly!

KO seemed a little off his comic timing tonight. Does he perhaps need some female companionship, someone to laugh with, someone to obsess about instead of those stoopid safety orange shower curtains???

Even Perky didn't have her customary sillifying effect on our guy.

Float some cheery thoughts to Keith...

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

[Clark2008]

151. I'm very mixed on this Shivo story.

On the one hand, if she really didn't want to live as a vegetable, her parents should let her go; however, since she didn't leave specific word (just through the husband, who's motives are dubious, at best), then I don't see what the big deal is about letting her parents care for her if they can both want and afford to.

I dunno - this one perplexes me.

[crispini]

157. Yeah, it's one of those very gray areas.

This Houston kid story is sad too... but if it were me, I'd let him go.... what kind of life is he going to have?

[flyarm]

177. i am with ya on that crispini..except

scientology now has total control of downtown clearwater where teri is at and thats who is behind her family...and i have reservations about it all..here the scientology has all these kids under their control..and two have died here on their premisses because they would not take them to a doctor or hospital that is right down the street from where these kids died...they don't believe in doctors..or hospitals..so thats where my reservations lie...they are the ones promoting the parents..and the pics they are showing of teri are from a long time ago..think about it..you always see the same pics..never different ones of her...

i dont know..from here i heard the other day it wouldnt matter if her husbvand gave up custody..whoever had custody would have to follow the letter of the law..and law here is ..if someone says they dont want life support ..they must be taken off it...

this is all being pushed by scientology.

fly:loveya: :loveya: :loveya:

[crispini]

188. Ah HA!

I hadn't heard that angle before! Am I just underinformed or do people not report on that much? I must say, I wouldn't put anything beyond the Scientologists. Totally wackball cult. Clams, my ass.

[Catchawave]

158. Sad, Sad...little sick baby

...poor mom too :(

[crispini]

160. LOL, the catfight was funny.

MmmmeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeYOW!

[sparky_in_ma]

164. "why can't we be friends"

The music is getting awesome for the stories.

[Clark2008]

170. I don't even know who Oma-whats-her-face is, but I who could blame

ANYONE for calling a CNN bitch out. LOL..

OK... that was just evil of me. :evilgrin:

[Catchawave]

162. Omarosa is so vile.....

...is she an Annie Coulter wannabe?

[SharonRB]

173. Other than the fact that she worked in the Clinton White House --

I think she's actually on our side -- but who wants her. Let's send her over to the other side.

[WhirlyGirl]

172. Someone, please explain the reference to CafePress, above at #3

[greenmutha]

225. I did... check post #179. n/t

[WhirlyGirl]

314. Can't find it. Will my mug order go thru okay, is all I wanted to know -?

[greenmutha]

319. It's up at the top, where you first asked (by post #3). But yes, you'll be

fine. It has nothing to do with the mugs. Something new!

[WhirlyGirl]

340. Oh, good! ... thanks for clearing that up...

... I found where you answered the question the first time! <blushing now>

[crispini]

174. Damn, that car hitting that tree..... WOW.

edited to add: ok, they need to stop chasing people. wow, can't believe that many people get hurt in those chases! Not. Cool.

[Clark2008]

180. OUCH!!! Keith on lead singer of Limp Buscuit's porno: Limp Buscuit,

INDEED!

:wow:

[WhirlyGirl]

184. ANOTHER biscuit (biskit?) sighting!

[crispini]

182. Just goes to show, don't save your amateur porn

on the computer. :evilgrin:

OK, did they just have a problem with the segment on the oscars or did he do that on purpose?

[crispini]

195. Ok, did anyone send in any questions? nt

[Patsy Stone]

196. Monica, honey,

that hair is not working for you this evening... But I like you anyway. :)

[sparky_in_ma]

199. Floaties for Monica

:loveya: :loveya:

[Patsy Stone]

202. I'm glad you appreciate a woman

even when her hair needs some help. :)

Didja get a drink yet, sparky? If not, I'll pour. Just let me know.

[sparky_in_ma]

217. I'm good right now

Thanks!

[bleever]

224. Yeah...I noticed that. What's different? Too straight at the ends?

You know, any hairstyle can be improved with cleavage, according to the experts.

:)

[Patsy Stone]

239. Oh, you men...

Always addressing the wrong part of our anatomy while we're talking. You know, I've actually told people, "Hey, I'm talking to you up HERE!" :)

The whole thing on her head is too straight. I don't know, but something's off.

And you may have to wrassle sparky for Monica. :evilgrin:

And, as for the bonus, yep. I mean, it's no office or reserved parking space, but I could buy a few laptops or something.

For Robbie, my VP :loveya:

[bleever]

274. ROFL. I knew a guy who just couldn't look anyone in the eye

during conversations, so he'd look down a little, which was unfortunate when he spoke to women, because he really wasn't really looking THERE, he was just looking away.

And for your VP: :loveya:

[Patsy Stone]

285. LOL

Was this guy you, by any chance? You know, in that "My friend has this problem..." kinda way? Or, perhaps, in the "Dear Penthouse, I never thought this would happen to me..." kinda way? Okay, sorry... ;)

[bleever]

316. LOL. And "sorry" is right. When I stare, the rays of heat are

undeniable.

:hi:

[WhirlyGirl]

231. I'll take Mon over the Anacondi dominatrix any day.

[Patsy Stone]

262. Those boots were hot.

I'm sorry. I hate that @#$&* like poison, but I did like those shoes.

Verrrry Emma Peel.

[bleever]

336. Those boots would definitely look great...on someone else.

:hi:

[seito]

197. Flashbacks to the Daily Show

Monica, Countdown's "Senior Correspondent" :)

[flyarm]

207. brussel sprouts..goooood one!!!

* couldn't be that clever!!

lolllllllllllll

fly:loveya: :loveya: :loveya:

[Clark2008]

203. Dang, this quiz is hard!

:wow:

[Greylyn58]

Deleted n/t

[SharonRB]

204. What was Bush looking for?

Maybe a brain?

[SharonRB]

208. So is he going to smash

the Condi doll, too?

[Clark2008]

214. The missing WMDs?

:shrug:

[flyarm]

215. or a heart!!..lol n/t

[sparky_in_ma]

220. It's far too late, unless......

"Follow the Yellow Brick Road"

[Greylyn58]

234. Aaaaahhhh

you beat me to it!!! :+

Geez that Condi doll was ugly!!! Think he might smash it?

[crispini]

206. ROFL. A Condi doll!

Looks like James Brown! Too. Funny. :loveya:

[RevCheesehead]

210. Ha! That looks like James Brown, not Condaleezza Rice!

Keith is super-snarky tonight!

[Patsy Stone]

211. 3 out of 8

$1050 to charity. Oh, KO.

p.s. I gotta say props to NeoCondi for those boots. I may knock her down and take them. Hell, I might just knock her down and not take 'em. :evilgrin:

[Clark2008]

325. I, gulp, liked the whole outfit. In fact, I went to my closet to make

sure she hadn't sent the Feebs in here to snark my skirt and long jacket. My boots are similiar, but not quite as stilleto, plus, I was wearin' 'em today, so I knew she hadn't gotten away with them.

[bleever]

212. SMASH IT! Smash the Condi doll! Please please please...

oh, okay, just save it and insert pins later.

:)

[Catchawave]

221. LOL....he doesn't want the State Department after him

too? Heh.

[Catchawave]

216. Whooosh, another fast hour !

:loveya: :loveya: :loveya: Keef.

[SharonRB]

218. Gotta run

I have a vote group conference call.

[WhirlyGirl]

222. The Hunter Thompson story about his wife being on the phone w/ him...

... when he shot himself reminded me of being a new operator w/ the phone co., straight out of college, when a call from an elderly lady came in on my board.

She asked me to summon the police, she was being STABBED by an intruder. And she was. Very audibly. It shook me up for a couple of days.

:scared:

[Clark2008]

235. OMG! Did she die?

How horrible for your first frew days!
How horrible for that little old lady!

:hug:

[WhirlyGirl]

244. You know, I can't remember! --

... or maybe I was just afraid to find out in the first place.

Telephone operators hear a lot of things and wind up in the middle of a lot of tense situations after folks have dialed "0." I just wasn't seasoned yet -- but I sure got my feet wet that night!

[crispini]

251. Whoa.

Hug for you :hug: How horrible!

[flyarm]

267. nitey night all you sweet koeb'ers..

have a lovely weekend..and see you monday!!!

hugggggggggggggggggggs to you all..see you on other boards!!!

281. Save that 1000th post for Monday's KOEB, fly.

Have a great weekend!

[Clark2008]

290. Hi Bleev

Missed you earlier in the scrum of the thread!

:hi:

[bleever]

321. "Happiest Scrum on Earth". Better add that to our KOEB

Group mission statement.

Hope your son's sleeping peacefully at this point, with that regular soft breathing sound that parents love!

:hi:

[Patsy Stone]

295. fly, don't worry

We'll get you to 1000, promise. :)
Have a great night. :grouphug:

[WhirlyGirl]

307. It's okay...

... I can talk about it now.

It just wasn't what you expected if you grew up watching Ernestine on Laugh-In...

[WhirlyGirl]

296. Rounding 300 posts, y'all...

... pretty active meeting for a Friday!

(My husband is currently on the other computer, reading along and chuckling... )

[sparky_in_ma]

302. WhirlyGirl has been very good tonite

She didn't drink or lust after KO at all. She was a perfect O8)

[WhirlyGirl]

328. Which WhirlyGirl was that, Sparky? LOL! Oh! you meant me...

I shared some vino with my #1 --- who's READING ALONG with us tonight!
How bodacious could I be? ;-)

However, here are some major spousal floaties for my main man:

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

--------
<< WhirlyGirl has been very good tonite
She didn't drink or lust after KO at all. She was a perfect O8)
>> Sparky

[sparky_in_ma]

335. You're always the proper lady here

you never make lewd comments about KO, or contemplate ties that bind.

(we'll cover for you) Oh, you're nice to puppies too.

[WhirlyGirl]

343. Ummm... you think this is working...?

;-)

[sparky_in_ma]

356. It should

I speak with complete sincerity. Just the other day we were mentioning how while everyone else made snarky comments and drank too much, you remained above the fray.

:D

[WhirlyGirl]

369. Sparky, you keep tellin' whoppers like that...

... and you may discover at some future time that you've turned into a NEOCON! :scared:

Now, I can't have such an eventuality on my conscience!
(Besides... it's okay, my mate's logged off now ;-) )

So --
<breathing his name in a sigh> Ohhhhhhhhhhhh, KEEEeeeeeeithhhh!!! :loveya::loveya::loveya:
<thump thump thump thump thump thump thump thump thump thump thump thump>

----------
<< Just the other day we were mentioning how while everyone else made snarky comments and drank too much, you remained above the fray. >> Sparky

[sparky_in_ma]

370. Whew!

I didn't think I could keep a straight face any longer.:silly:

[greenmutha]

301. Bleev! You still here? I left ya a little sumthin' at post #293...

LOL! :toast:

[bleever]

333. Can I have that on a mug, please?

Too, too much.

LOL.

Thanks, greenie.

Proof that democracy will triumph!

:)

[yvr girl]

341. Just checking in

Happy Friday to you all!

:loveya:

[WhirlyGirl]

345. HI, yvr girl!

Some of us are still hangin' around keeping Sparky company while he sweeps up.:-)

How are you?

[yvr girl]

349. I'm good. I had a great day.

I received a random act of kindness today.

I also saw this little girl who had the biggest smile ever. Her whole face was aglow. It was contagious.

:hi:

How was your day?

[WhirlyGirl]

383. I thought his piece on "Jeff Gannon" was very well done.

He hasn't let up on this, unlike all the other media organizations. I particularly appreciated his posting of the pronunciation of the real name of this freak. His excuse for using a pseudonym is that no one can pronounce his actual name. And Keith had the perfect retort. "Olbermann?!"
:yourock:

384. "Gookert" is turning out to be the gift that keeps on giving...

... because everything scandalworthy seems to lead back to that unappetizing fellow.

The softball press confrences before the election, designed to take the heat off Bush on important issues and put Dems on the defensive.

The Valerie Plame case.

Dan Rather's forged TX Guard document.

And most recently, comparisons with "Gannon's" role in the White House daily briefings raised during Dubya's stay in Russia, following charges that Russian reporters friendly to Putin had been "planted" among the press corps in order to protect Putin and challenge Dubya.

I hope this guy sticks to Dubya like a tick.

[Rhiannon12866]

385. Me, too. As said to my friend, I hope that this is what finally brings

Bush* down, after so many false hopes. There is so much that is "unappetizing" about this guy! How can the MSM ignore him?! Yes, Keith has taken the lead, but there is so much there! The breach of security, at the very least! Not to mention his links to porn sites and hiring out as a prostitute, which has been played way down. This guy is the lowest of the low, yet he has some kind of ties to the Bush* people. That's what has to come out, and I am sure that Keith will report it when he has it, unlike the rest of the MSM who are totally backing away from this story. Why?! It's front page news!
