[Botany]

Have to go for a swim so me being a DNG (DNG = Darn nice guy) i will start
the thread for the EDVs and snarky dudes.

1.) Please no more MWWN.

I feel bad for the girl and her family but.....
btw ...... i have seen and done just about everything ..... no way do I let
a child of mine go 1,000 miles away @ 17/18 years old so they can
go clubbing ...... when they are still in high school ...... freshman yr in college
is bad enough (God only knows how i lived) ..... but that is in a college setting
surrounded w/ friends ....... :rant:

1. Hi Cuddles and

hit and run here too...off to watch Keith with the addicted ferret. Have fun swimming.

[Berry Cool]

51. I showed up, finally.

Berry After the Show is becoming Berry EXHAUSTED after the Show!

:hi: to all regardless!

[CC]

63. Hi Berry exhausted after

the show. Know the feeling though for a different reason. I get so relaxed laying there watching Keith with a ferret half a sleep on me I feel like falling a sleep. Then the music for Abrams starts, the ferret jumps up, looks around, jumps off the bed and runs to hide under it. Guess he is worried about having to gouge out his eyes if he actually saw Abrams ties.

[Berry Cool]

67. You know, personally I would much rather

lie there watching a ferret with Keith half asleep on me...

Poor Giz...he could get blinded by one of Abrams' ties without even having to gouge his own eyes out...especially on an extremely pimpadelic night.

What a rough week it has been at work. I was there later tonight than ever. Fortunately got to take a cab home. At least the thing I was working on (which of course needed major revisions right before it had to go out) is DONE. And now I get my prescheduled four-day weekend. Thank heaven.

:hug: to you and the Giz.

[CC]

71. So you have off

tomorrow? Three days off will go a long way towards making up for all the hard work. And you get to breathe a sigh and relax knowing it is done. :hug: back at ya. And ferrets are no dummies...they may have no fear but they don't do ugly ties.

[Berry Cool]

74. Actually, it's four days off

I am taking Monday off too. But I'll be back for the Show. Just won't be here tomorrow night, so will tape to make sure I don't miss it no matter what.

Ferrets are apparently quite smart, if they know enough to just say no to Dan Abrams' ties! :rofl:

[CC]

76. Even better

and have fun visiting. Relax, will hope for nice warm, sunny, not too hot, non -humid weather for you.

[Berry Cool]

81. Thanks much!

Hope it's a great one for you, Giz, the menagerie and all of the KOEB and ASTB!

[SharonRB]

2. Come on over to Catch's thread when you get back

We're over there.

Hey, Bot -- did you see * in Columbus today?

[Catchawave]

3. LOL....I'm so confused....

[CC]

4. I'll find the active thread

after I feed Gizmo. Think you can pick whichever you want. HUGS

[Catchawave]

5. It's here....

[CC]

8. two threads are

better than none.


BBL

[SharonRB]

9. Sounds like everyone is bailing on us tonight

Hope Pats comes over here.

[Sydnie]

16. What a great caricature!

I love that. Where did you find that?

[Catchawave]

30. google images....

..sometimes I get lucky and find ones we haven't seen here yet!

[Berry Cool]

68. The caricature was originally on Salon.com.

It ran with his columns.

[SharonRB]

6. Come back over to yours

Pats has joined us.

[Patsy Stone]

11. Rummy is an asshole

and where are we supposed to be? :)

[Catchawave]

13. Sorry about that Pats.....

Looks like Bot and I posted starter threads a minute apart, then we both left for a few minutes.

I brought the picture with me too :hi: :loveya:

[Patsy Stone]

34. It's a good one!

Glad we got it all straightened out. It's funny how somedays there are none for a while and then some nights there are dupes. :)

[SharonRB]

15. You're in the right place now.

And that's what I said on the other thread -- he looks like an asshole.

[Patsy Stone]

33. I was replying to that post.

And it's nice to see you all.

I've been watching the show and then I had to eat dinner, so I haven't been around.

[Botany]

10. no .......

..... he travels from one armed camp to another .... the "speech" was about
1.5 miles from mile house ... they shut down I 670 from the airport ....
I 71 to 17th Ave. .... and he goes and gives a "spontaneous" talk to
highway patrol cadets who have to clap for that asshole and ask canned
?s. My state is soooooo dirty. Did you hear about worker's comp funneling
215 million to various GOP campaigns?

they also used the $ to buy coins and baseball cards from Tommy Noe of Lucas
County whose wife was on the BOE there .......

Lucas County also had
voting machines "lock up" in dem. precincts
computers w/ demo voting data bases stolen from a Kerry HQ
a couple who had lived in the same house from 1960 ... first
vote for JFK ... .show up @ where they have always voted to be told
that they were no longer registered
all 4 members of the BOE there had to resign after the last election ....
one being Tommy Noe's wife .....

[Sydnie]

12. I did hear about the moneygate scandal

I prefer to call it "Coins for Fools" myself.

:loveya: for Keef and a :hug: for Botany -- Enjoy your swim!

[SharonRB]

14. No, I hadn't heard that,

but I know Ohio is dirty. Been there, done that with the freeway being shut down. In March of '93 Clinton came here for a town hall a few miles away and I stood on the overpass and watched him go by in his limo with absolutely no cars on the road because they had shut it down. The cops were there, but they let us stand there. It was pretty cool, though, being as it was him. He had the light on in the back and I could actually see him working on his notes on a yellow legal pad.

[SharonRB]

19. I heard about the missing $10 million in coins

Is that the same money you're talking about>

[Botany]

24. no .......

..... both from worker's comp .... .but the 215 million was lost in a hedge fund .....
best guess it was funneled to GOP operatives ....


have to go swim ....
btw you are my FAV EDV!

[SharonRB]

26. Ooooh, two nights in public in a row!

You must really mean it.

[Berry Cool]

52. Botany, all I've got to say is this...

it's lucky Keith doesn't live in Ohio...or by now, his entire baseball card collection would've been seized by right of eminent domain!

"Sorry, Mr. Olbermann, but we really need these cards for the state workers' comp fund. We'll give you fair market value, don't worry."

"FAIR MARKET VALUE?!?!? I don't WANT fair market value!!!! I want my CARDS, DAMMIT! I don't COLLECT them for money, I collect them for FUN!"

"Sorry, Mr. Olbermann. Here in the State of Ohio we don't collect anything for fun. We collect only as an investment in the state insurance fund. Here, have a nice bottle of Colorado wine. It'll help take the edge off."

[CC]

59. Or they might say

Mr.O. we need your card collection so we can steal more votes for the blivet*. Its expensive to steal votes, all those people you have to get to break laws and then the ones you have to pay off to keep their mouths shut.


Hey Bot, Ohio needs lots more people like you to get out from under the thieves.

[Berry Cool]

70. Don't forget all the machines you have to buy from Diebold!

Those touch-screen machines that are sensitive enough to register only votes for Repugs are expensive...

[Clark2008]

7. Hey ladies!

I won't be around tonight.

Brooklyn is cooking dinner for me tonight: shrimp, (chicken) sausage and al-fredo sauce over linguini with garlic bread.

:loveya: for Keith!

:hi: all!

[Patsy Stone]

47. Mazel Tov, bubbeleh!

Wait until tomorrow, though, for the nookie. It's a double mitzvah on Shabbat. :hi:

[Clark2008]

126. Not sure what that means, but it sounds dirty!

LOL!

He said Shalom Shabbat to you.

:hi:

[Berry Cool]

53. So Brooklyn's a chef! You lucky girl!

Hah, I used to hang out in college with a guy they called "Brooklyn" and "Flatbush" all the time for the same reason. That's Ohioans for you.

[Catchawave]

17. Is Katie the "new" Terri ?

Sad case....

[SharonRB]

22. I guess this is a time that I think

someone should step in and make the parents allow her to be treated. Hard to believe they would allow their religion to keep them from getting treatment for her if it would save her life.

[Catchawave]

28. I hope you're right.....

I saw the parents interviewed today, not the sharpest knives in the drawer. It's going to be another relgious debate, I'm sure.

[Berry Cool]

54. You know, this is a hard one to call

It's easy to file away these parents as religious loonies, but at the same time, if the kid says she doesn't want radiation...should she not have some say?

Medical treatment is no picnic. If she were an adult we wouldn't tell her she had to have treatment if she didn't want it. But somehow because she's a kid we tell her she has to?

There's no easy answer to this. I know kids aren't always the best judges but they know what kind of treatment is tough. As much as any adult does.

[CC]

69. Even harder if you watch

someone go through it. And count in all the things the news isn't saying. A friend of ours went through radiation for non-Hodgkin's. You are miserable,burned, sick all the time, about the time you can keep food down again its time for a new round. It can cause all sorts of other cancers eventually, plus other radiation diseases. He had to sign off on abut 3 pages of small type of future side effects. Once you have one series of radiation treatments you can never have radiation again, even for something else. The doctors will never say it will cure you hundred percent. You do well to get a 50/50 from them. This is what they told a 37 year old man, imagine being 14 and hearing all the things you might get. Not sure but with her being female, it most likely will deny her the chance of ever having kids. I know in Kurt's case they told him not to have kids for at least 2 years after treatment was over.

So it might not be just religion and any decision with long term consequences like those radiation can cause should be decided by all involved, specially the kid. At the same time I would most likely try to get my kid to go through it to save the child's life. But there is a selfish part to that, I wouldn't want to lose my child. For the state of Texas, that kills babies and others it decides aren't worth keeping alive against the parents/loved ones wishes to now say they will take a child and force treatment is hypocritical at the minimum.

Finished the rant.

[Berry Cool]

75. Thanks, CC. I was thinking I'm the only one.

And if you doubt the seriousness of it anytime, go visit the radiation unit at your local hospital. You will have to go to the basement because the NRC makes them encase the whole unit in I don't know how many feet of lead. Generally it's not a cheerful place. You'll see happier faces on iodine bottles.

[CC]

78. I think it is

at least 3 feet thick and all the operators are in another lead lined room.

[Berry Cool]

79. Yeah, which makes the treatment experience isolating as hell.

It ain't no picnic in the park. No windows, lots of isolation, and a whole lot of people down there not even sure whether the torture they're going through is even going to do them any good.

But enough on that happy topic! We had a great night of Keith tonight!

[CC]

82. Oh and then being told not to

hug anyone for a certain amount of time after...


And yes a great show with Keith. But then any show with Keith is great. Though have loved the hits the last few days. And W send you the article on KO. It was great and the man can't be dating too much if he spends 12 hours a day on the computer. And just can't see him in a certain type of chat room.

[Berry Cool]

86. He spends TWELVE hours a day on the computer??

Which article says this??

Somehow I missed that small fact!

I did read the new one today but I don't remember that being in it (doesn't mean it wasn't though!)

[CC]

87. Well here it is

for you then... In addition to writing his own copy for Countdown, Keith Olbermann also writes a blog at msnbc.msn.com, raising the question: just how much time does he spend on a computer? "Generally speaking, I'm on the computer reading, writing scripts and looking for stories," he said. "Probably 12 hours total. ... I knew that when I got an Internet connection at home, I'd never get off the damn thing. And I was right."

[Berry Cool]

143. Somehow, I did not see that part of the article!

Let's see...

12 hours a day on the computer

6 to 8 hours for sleep (or at least he should get that much)

1 hour for Countdown

That leaves 5 to 3 hours or so a day (on weekdays) for eating, bathroom and everything else in life. Including attending baseball games. Which can last as long as three hours. (If baseball game lasts longer than four hours, seek immediate medical attention.)

When does he have time to stop and smell the roses, poor boy??

[CC]

146. His time to smell

the roses is the baseball game. :rofl: Baseball is not a sport but the air you breathe ya know.

[sparky_in_ma]

89. I disagree with part of it.

Our Rad Thpy unit has the most friendly, supportive staff in the whole hospital. Every year they hold a pool party, at their expense, for cancer survivors. The clients like them so much the unit is always full of gifts of chocolates and flowers. I'm not defending all units, I have no frame of reference, but they've helped many members of my family.

[gkhouston]

107. I don't think they were dissing the staff, Sparks

just how draining the whole experience can be. It's not like getting a dental X-ray, but most folks don't appreciate that. Mary had non-Hodgkins years ago and was fortunate enough not to need the radiation, largely because they blasted her into the Stone Age with chemo. It was rough, but the nurses were fantastic.

[Berry Cool]

144. No, I was definitely NOT dissing the staff.

I spoke of the patients and their families. They are not down there for fun. I get the impression somehow that just because radiation isn't chemo, people think it is no big deal. Not so. It's an ordeal for people. It's isolating, can be painful and is also, from what I understand, quite fatiguing in the long run.

Bless anyone who has the fortitude to be able to WORK in that kind of environment, trying to help people in that situation, and doing their best to help those people keep their spirits up. After all, the people who come down for treatment, once they make the decision, have to go there--they don't have a choice. People who work there have CHOSEN to come work there every day when they could have done something else with their careers. Bless 'em.

[CC]

131. Hi Sparky and just

saw this before going downstairs. I would never cut down staff and even doctors. The hub has been through non-Hodgkin's three time so far. First time with CHOP, second a different chemo and third time Rituxin. We both loved both the doctor and the staff. I would send anyone I know to his doctor. But even the doctor told us sometimes the treatment is as bad as the disease, and that they always are balancing between doing enough and not doing to much and causing more damage than needed. (Part of why I like him so much is he doesn't sugar coat it and is very honest with his patients.)

[gkhouston]

135. I'm guessing the second was MACOPB?

It's hell. Mary's only been through it once, thank God. My heart goes out to your husband for enduring three rounds of it. Most people worry about their retirement planning. Mary doesn't. She thinks she may have NHL licked, but she figures one of the other side effect nasties is gonna get her long before she reaches retirement age and she's probably right.

[Berry Cool]

83. The "not having kids" thing might not be applicable, though

Depends on where the radiation is going. If they're not nuking your female parts it won't make you sterile.

[SharonRB]

18. Give me a fuckin' break

They're making a movie about the Runaway Bride? I hope no one watches it.

[Catchawave]

21. I just hope she isn't making money off of it....grrrrrr

Exploitivision at it's worse.

[Berry Cool]

55. But Keith's casting was pretty good

and it was yet another opportunity for him to do the #5 "aren't I the cleverest little devil" smirk...

[ewagner]

20. I'm among the

uninitiated....what's EDV stand for? :dunce:

[SharonRB]

23. Estrogen Driven Vixens

[Berry Cool]

56. Some of us a little more estrogen driven than others

...certain parts of us, anyway.

And no, believe it or not, I DON'T mean anything dirty by that.

[Sydnie]

29. Welcome to the party ewagner!

Glad to have your with us.

You will need lots of these :loveya: and your sense of humor to get the full flavor enjoyment in this group!

:hi:

[Berry Cool]

57. Welcome, ewagner!

If you like Keith, you'll like it here!! :-)

On edit: and don't let the GUYS tell you that your "initiation" will consist of anything involving nudity...because it won't. :-)

[Greylyn58]

25. Evening All

Checking in for my nightly dose of snarky fun. :evilgrin:

:hi: my fellow KOEBers! :grouphug:

:yourock: Keith and I :loveya: :loveya: :loveya:

[Berry Cool]

58. Hey, Grey! Hey, Sheridan!

:hi: and WOOF WOOF!

[noamnety]

27. during the commercial

I would like to respectfully request that you guys take a look at my thread over here:

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=104x3821255

(and even more respectfully request that you ignore the shameful typos that arose from changing my phrasing mid-sentence)

and think about the possibilities, because if anyone would give you some camera time in those circumstances, it would be Keith.

[SharonRB]

31. Sounds like a great idea, Fern

[Catchawave]

32. Great post !

Looks like it made the Greatest Page too...congratulations!!!!

[Sydnie]

37. That is a home run idea! n/t

[Berry Cool]

73. Oh, great, Sydnie...you said "home run"...

...now Keith will read that and decide to skip Countdown tomorrow night to go to a baseball game.

But seriously folks...that is an idea...so long as nothing is happening with MJ...might as well give the media something to cover...it's a circus anyway, what have you got to lose? Yeah, I guess you do have to shout over two guys arguing with each other over whether MJ is the King or the Queen of Pop, but aside from that...

[Patsy Stone]

45. Excellent post, lwfern!

That's a great idea and I wish I was in California right now. What would my sign say? Hmm.

[bunny planet]

102. great idea fern.

:)

[Patsy Stone]

35. Good music

First "Good Riddance", then "Lust for Life" and this cover of "Let's Get it Started".

And then they kill the buzz with *.

[Berry Cool]

60. I know. I really liked the whole rest of the graduation segment

but the Bliv was a fly in the ointment...or perhaps a roach...

[Patsy Stone]

72. They should warn a person...

before showing *. There might be impressionable children in the room you don't want to see that. :)

[SharonRB]

36. Now * thinks he's a comedian

I think they were laughing AT him, not WITH him. And that stupid smirk -- I can't stand it!

[SharonRB]

38. That graduation montage was great

It's got me in tears. And did ya notice how every one of those speakers sounded so much more intelligent than blivet**?

[Sydnie]

44. Pass the tissues!

Me too Sharon. blivet** thinks he is funny. He knew he couldn't pull off intelligent or sincere, so he went for the cheap laugh instead.

He SUCKS!

[Catchawave]

40. * didn't attend his girls' graduations ...

...so why is he a commencement speaker, it's still disruption of the event to have the Prez on Board?

Other than that, it was a sweet tribute to Class '05, I got teary.

[SharonRB]

43. Me, too (see my post above)

[Patsy Stone]

42. And I have to say he looks like crap, too.

I noticed it when they did that story about "looking more competent" and then when KO or the guest said that that may not hold true they flashed to * and he didn't look too good.

Being evil takes it out of you, I guess.

[Berry Cool]

61. I was gonna say...when bliv flashed on the screen

I said to myself "Now THERE's someone who doesn't look competent!"

[Patsy Stone]

64. Amen!

and, "Feh!"

[Patsy Stone]

39. I liked Janel Moloney

as an idea.


Marty Feldman! LOFL! It's pronounced, "I-gor!"

[SharonRB]

46. I could see that with dark hair, actually

[SharonRB]

41. Shelly Duvall would be perfect, but I think she's too old

Scary how much she and Rachel Drach looked like Jennifer. Kristin Davis even resembled her, but she's too pretty and looks too normal.

[Patsy Stone]

48. We had one vote here for Rachel.

But I really did hear them say they were thinking about Janel. Shelly Duval, of course, would be great.

[Catchawave]

49. I'm going to miss Dan after Keith :(

Later kids.

I may start the meeting thread at 4pm tommorrow to see if I can beat someone.....:rofl:

[Berry Cool]

62. Love your South Park Keith!

I made one too, but slightly different--grayer hair. No bat. (I guess the Web site I used had fewer accessories.)

Pretty funny...looks like he's about to beat someone up!

[Catchawave]

66. Shhhhh! I found it on Google Images too :)

I'm not at all good at techie stuff, The bat was a bonus !

[Berry Cool]

77. Aw, Catch, you shoulda just let us think

it was all you. :-)

Which reminds me, we still have to reschedule the Evil Keith Picture Drawing Contest. I'm determined to get some entries. Or if you don't want a contest, at least let's have a posting gallery!

Another contest idea (sort of our way of compensating for the News Quiz?): pick a story from the past week and think of a popular song lyric that fits it.

And no, "The Bay Air Went Over the Mountain" doesn't count!

[Patsy Stone]

50. Another great show and another HORRIBLE Dan Abrams tie!

1) John Harwood was tolerable. And I enjoyed the discussion of the Patriot Act and its vile self.

2) KO looked great :loveya::loveya:

3) The snark factor was high.

4) That graduation montage was touching, and I still miss college.

5) I can't believe people thought the evil Mel Martinez looked more competent than Betty Castor. Martinez has the face of the devil.

6) * is still, and will remain, an ass.

7) The bit about the casting of the movie was fun and even included a gratuitous Russell Crowe shot.

KO, for the 1971 you, trudging around the hills of Ithaca: :loveya:

[Berry Cool]

65. Patsy gives us food for thought.

1. Yeah, I was hoping Keith would do Patriot Act at the top tonight. He did not let me down. KILL THE PATRIOT ACT!

2. No argument from me there. Talk about looking "competent"! :loveya:

3. Really, if AccuWeather did a snark count on those ads of theirs, Keith's would be at an all-time high this week.

4. Loved the graduation montage. And what Keith said is so true. Only I felt that way about high school, which I hated. I only began to realize in the last few months how my life's routine would be changing forever and what I'd be leaving behind.

5. LOL...

6. Absolutely.

7. Where would Keith's snark be without gratuitous introduction of either Russell Crowe or Tom Cruise?

One small correction...in 1971, Keith, being a mere lad of 12, was not yet trudging around the hills of Ithaca. That would be 1975-79. But yeah, gotta love the thought of it. It really is a beautiful place, though. Must've been one titch more beautiful then. :loveya:

[Berry Cool]

80. Oh, one thing I couldn't help but wonder

about that #1 story...whether Keith wasn't feeling a bit humbled tonight.

"Oh great. Now a ROACH can drive, and I can't." :-)

[Patsy Stone]

92. I volunteer.

I'm an excellent driver. :) And I really should clean out my ears and listen more closely since I heard 1971. Sorry that I made you older, KO. :loveya:

[RevCheesehead]

93. Is that including incidents

with rogue mattresses? :evilgrin:

Hiya Pats. :hi:

[Patsy Stone]

95. Hey, Cheese!

Nice to see you! You'll enjoy the rerun. I'm not sure I'll sbe able to stay awake, but he's snark-a-rific and he's lookin' good!

And, KO, aside from the odd mattress, I'm fine. :hi:

[RevCheesehead]

98. You know,

there's something about using "KO" and "mattress" in the same sentence that I find rather appealing. :loveya:

I'm not sure I'll be staying up, either. I'm feeling the fatigue of a humidity-soaked day. (I finally gave in and put on the AC after Oreo kept harassing me. Can't blame her - all that long hair. :( )

[Patsy Stone]

99. It's funny that you need the A/C so soon

after wishing for it to warm up. :) And I certainly sympathize with the humidity problem. I always wonder why it isn't always raining when they tell me the humidity is 100%. Is she sleeping with her tummy up now to get cool? Or stretched out in front of the vent?

[RevCheesehead]

101. It gets humid and sticky in June.

I guess it could be worse - I could be in Florida! :)

Right now, Oreo's curled up on a chair next to me, but a moment ago, her furry butt was in my face. I think she was asking me "fresh food, please."

[Patsy Stone]

103. As only a kitty can do...

It's off to bed for me. See you tomorrow for the Friday night party. No Newsquiz, but the company and the drinks will be divine!

[RevCheesehead]

105. Nope, not me.

I'll be in Oshkosh, b'gosh, for a DU meetup. :woohoo:

[Berry Cool]

145. KO and mattress? Ah...don't make me swoon again.

Rev, ever given Oreo a "lion cut" for the summer? (I have a friend that has done that for her longhaired cat--looks hilarious and hurts the cat's dignity, but it's much cooler.)

I admit, I haven't done it for my Bella. Although sometimes I wonder if I should. (Quinn is so shorthaired she doesn't need it.)

[sparky_in_ma]

94. When you're not hitting mattresses

:rofl:

[Patsy Stone]

96. Did you and the Rev. plan this response together?

Funny! You two should think about taking the act on the road. (Insert boiler room joke here.) :)

[sparky_in_ma]

97. Hi Patsy

Ya gotta admit, that just doesn't happen to everyone.:D I'm sure you're an excellent driver.

[Patsy Stone]

100. It sure doesn't!

and I liked the synchronicity of you two posting the same thing.
I also think the experience would have been a bit different if I was in an Expedition or something. :)

[CC]

84. A late hello

to everyone, both the 2 and 4 legged people.

[RevCheesehead]

85. Hi, everyone -

Just a drop-by to pay my respects, and I'll be back for the late show, if there are any takers. :)

Keith: :loveya:

[CC]

88. Hi Rev

Not sure if I will be here late or not...but leaving a warm hello for you in case I don't make it.

[RevCheesehead]

90. I've missed you, Ferretessa.

I totally understand your dedication to Gizmo - and know you will never regret a moment you've given him. (still missing my Roo.)

Lord knows we're not going anywhere, so take your time and get back when you can.

For you and your buddies: :grouphug:

[CC]

91. Thank you and I did post

some tonight. You 'll laugh when you read about Gizmo after the show.

Off to do laundry now, or least switch it and all that. Might be back later, might be finishing laundry about then.

[crispini]

104. Anyone still around? Rev?

OMG, he's gonna do the roach robot story. This is proof positive that Countdown staff reads DU... that was kicking around the Lounge a few days ago?

[RevCheesehead]

106. Hi, Crispi.

I missed that one. That's what Countdown is for. :)

Don't know if it's the lighting, or the aging. Did Keith get his hair cut, too? He just looks different.

[CC]

108. Hi Rev and Crispini

and anyone else that comes in.

(Still have laundry in so am here.)

[RevCheesehead]

109. Hi, CC.

Would you like to do my laundry, too?

I'm just about to go watch KO on the big-screen (well, 25" rather than 13"). With luck, I'll fall asleep on the sofa.

Remember to keep your knees loose. Hugs to Giz. :hug:

[CC]

112. Well if you fall

asleep right after Keith you're sure to have sweet dreams. And it is best to watch him laying down and relaxed, full attention on him. Give the kitties an ear scratch from me.

[crispini]

113. Hi CC!

:hi: I'm procrastinating.....

[gkhouston]

114. greetings, my sister in slothful work habits!

I was thinking of working tonight... now I'm trying to properly parse what CC said about watching Keith lying down and relaxed... difficult to concentrate... :rofl:

[crispini]

115. LOL!

Hey, I just saw a Countdown promo with the HouChron quote. Damn, that was quick!

[CC]

117. Have you read Berry's

answer to it yet? About rather watching a ferret with Keith half a sleep on her?

[gkhouston]

120. yes. It made me think of my husband's tendency to use

me as a body pillow. He's an "oocher", keeps getting closer in his sleep, if I edge away to turn over. Some nights I get out of bed and get back in on the other side. :7

[CC]

125. Sounds sweet

until you realize you are getting aquished out of the bed. I am a elbower/ kicker if I feel smothered. It seems to work since I also end up with most of the bed.

G'night....

[gkhouston]

128. it's a king-sized bed. Plenty of room

just not always on my side. :rofl: Actually, he gets pretty sheepish when he wakes up and finds me on the other side and the "ooching" tends to decrease for a while.

[CC]

116. I would too if I

had work to do this time of night. Might as well enjoy Keith before torture.

[gkhouston]

110. yes, he got a haircut. I noticed it last night. n/t

[crispini]

111. Ha!

Countdown staff -- spending twelve hours a day on the internet, so you don't have to! (but a lot of us do anyway). :P

I think it's just the hair -- maybe just a tad more gray.

I'm sooooo procrastinating. I have a deadline tomorrow afternoon and I have a buttload of work to do and I went walking around the neighborhood tonight and now I'm sitting here watching Countdown. Of course, I may have to be up all night anyway so at this point it doesn't really matter much eh?

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah! It's a Bowtie Boy commercial. Yick.

On the bright side, it might be fun to watch occasionally and shred it mercilessly. :shrug:

[crispini]

118. Competence: I don't know what it is, but I know it when I see it.

At least that's what those study participants probably say.

I for one know what it's NOT: Blivet!

The gal does have a good point, though. How did they set up the study? That'd be interesting. I've gotten to the point now where I don't trust any studies unless I know the methodology.

[gkhouston]

121. smart girl. ALWAYS find out what the methodology is. n/t

[crispini]

119. Ya'll notice the music folk have been picking

an awful lot of MJ songs lately? I suppose it's that season. Man, the old Jackson Five stuff really was pretty good....

[gkhouston]

123. yes, it was, and MJ wasn't bad looking back when he was

an ordinary black guy. Now he's like something out of Phantom of the Opera.

[CC]

122. Ended up being a hit and run

after all. Hub is home have to go say hi and listen to him for a bit. Let him wind down.
Have a good night everyone and a great day tomorrow.

[gkhouston]

124. sweet dreams

glad you hubby is home safe and that Giz has perked up some, the spoiled brat.

[crispini]

129. Night!

:hi: sleep tight!

[crispini]

127. LOL, this casting call is too funny.

and the graduation thing was pretty cool.

[gkhouston]

130. I wondered how many of the kids who had regalia with hoods

had bottles of booze in them. 'Cause the hoods are definitely good for that. :D

[crispini]

134. You know, I wasn't drunk, but I don't remember a damn thing

about my commencement. Now, the nice French restaurant that my family and I went to afterwards and had yummy food and a couple of bottles of wine -- THAT, I remember! :9

[Botany]

132. Crispini

Did i ever tell you that you are my FAV EDV?

LOL Did you see the other night KO did 3 minutes of Bay Air stuff
He also said the the Bear crossed a Berry errrrrr. Somebody has been reading
Gull Bay.

[crispini]

136. Hi Botany!

:hi: And you're my fave ASTB'er! :hi: or would that be SMTB I suppose? Well we always knew that your mad writing skillz would be world-famous someday! :7

[Botany]

141. No not world famous ......

..... but that is the 2nd time that KO has dropped into "Gull Bay."

Snark is as snark does ..... be snarky.

I think berry having (or dreaming that she had) sex w/ KO in front of the
Bay Air family ..... got somebody's attention.


Next Job get KO to call Stephanie :loveya: Miller on her show .......

[gkhouston]

137. Botany!

Did I ever tell you that you're a slut? And that's actually a good thing in the KOEB?

:rofl:

[Botany]

139. Oh Gina .....

..... how sweet! Really I like ready to comfort ...... but slut works for me.

[gkhouston]

140. OMG

you're a pimp, too? Damn, I do admire diversity. :loveya:

Nighty night, sweetums.

[Botany]

142. not a pimp!

I mean i don't charge ...... :rofl:

happy slumbers ....... me i have to get up in 6.5 hours, night

btw i noticed a new female in the KOEB tonight ..... looks like she got
scared away ............

[crispini]

133. Has Dan Abrams worn this suit three days in a row?

Cause it sure looks like it. Dan! they have clothing stores in LA!

And it doesn't go with that tie, either. Damn! he was progressing so nicely and now he's just floundering around in a fashion morass! Queer Eye for the Straight Guy, you're needed outside the Jackson courtroom, stat!

OK, night ya'll. I'm either going to go crank out the rest of this design, or zonk out, who knows? :hi:

[gkhouston]

138. Night. I'm zonking. I cranked last night and I've just

figured out what the next design step is. Good luck and keep your heels round!
