[RevCheesehead]

21. Doing well!

Believe it or not, I'm getting stuff done, house cleaned up, etc..
I even called the psycho center to see about scheduling an appointment.
I wonder if they'd give me a break if I told them I knew Psych 101. :P

[Patsy Stone]

24. That

and two bits will get you a cup of coffee.

:rofl:

[RevCheesehead]

28. I don't do coffee.

I'm a latte-sipping liberal. :P

[SeattleGirl]

31. Are you wearing your Birkenstocks?

[RevCheesehead]

34. Nope.

Since I'm running around, I'm wearing those French tennies... Ni-kee.

[WolverineDG]

26. only if you were also a shopaholic

:hide:

dg

[RevCheesehead]

30. Um....

yeah. The order from Amazon came today. :evilgrin:

[Berry Cool]

33. They'd probably say "Honey, you REALLY need us BADLY then..."

"...but she needs us worse." :rofl:

Don't accomplish too much, you're making me look bad.

[RevCheesehead]

35. Don't worry...

there's plenty of sloth to go around. O8)

[SharonRB]

135. ROFLMAO

:rofl:

Good one, Rev. You've got me cracking up here as I catch up on tonight's thread while I watch the 10 p.m. replay.

[WolverineDG]

19. EEEEEE!!!

Now if he'd just dig that boccara tie out of the bottom of his closet....

:evilgrin:

dg

[Patsy Stone]

23. Well, now we have his apartment number.

:evilgrin:

[Berry Cool]

37. Like I said, that horse left the barn WAY long ago.

And no, I do NOT stalk him. So there.

[RevCheesehead]

39. ...

"And no, I do NOT stalk him. So there."

:rofl:

[Patsy Stone]

52. Methinks

thou doth protest in caps too much. :)

[RevCheesehead]

25. That one probably was re-gifted.

What about the Garcia? I mean, that was a cool tie!

Still flying high? :hug:

[WolverineDG]

29. Not high enough to like the Garcia tie

:puke:

:hug:

dg

11. I know! I know!!

Should I break out that bottle of merlot???? :evilgrin:

dg

[Berry Cool]

20. Why not?

Don't forget a nice tuna steak.

[Berry Cool]

8. Oh, I didn't see yours. Pats must've beat you.

[WolverineDG]

22. Yes, he does

:loveya:

dg

[SeattleGirl]

18. I'm good!

[RevCheesehead]

38. I'm not good,

[SeattleGirl]

44. Yep! And for that, you get a cookie!

[RevCheesehead]

53. Oh! my fave!

:9 Thanks!

[SeattleGirl]

58. You're welcome!

[GigiMommy]

55. OH YUMMY! DESSERT!!!

:loveya:

[SeattleGirl]

60. Hi Gigi!

Chocolate chip cookies are my fav!

[GigiMommy]

81. HI SG!!!

:hi: Me too! I'm known for my Chocolate Chip Cookies and my Pineapple Gooey Butter Cake.

[SeattleGirl]

84. Oooooh, that cake sounds yummy!

:9

[GigiMommy]

[Berry Cool]

Or a Maddowville.

[WolverineDG]

6. Keith loves me!!

:loveya: :loveya: :loveya:

:hi: everyone! Today is proof that yes, sometimes, Mondays don't suck!

:bounce: :woohoo: :bounce: :cry: :bounce:

dg

[Berry Cool]

27. And isn't it a beautiful thing?

Tomorrow will be (I hope) the big finale at last. Tune in to see Sharon and me blogging together from her hotel room downtown (at least assuming her room gets MSNBC--it should).

[WolverineDG]

32. If she's at the Marriott, yup

Why don't you call & ask? :)

dg

[Berry Cool]

41. She's at the *************

so I think we're good. Last ********* I stayed at had MSNBC.

(edited to remove name just in case Olbermann Watch boys are lurking and planning to visit--maybe they missed this)

[RevCheesehead]

42. And that scenario..

leaves Keith :scared:

Good thing y'all aren't in driving distance to NYC.

[Berry Cool]

51. Actually, it's just a temporary stopover on the way to the airport

and THEN we go to Keith's.

:rofl: Now there's a thigh-slapper. Sharon doesn't even find Keith attractive. (Then again, it WILL take two of us to handle him, and that would mean "all the more for me"...hmm...)

...OK. JUST KIDDING, AGENT MIKE. HONEST. *sigh*

[Botany]

36. Drive by blog

Did I ever tell you that you are my Fav?

F***ing Hillary class to the end .... sure fly in for my speech
and boost my ego but then you have to pay your way home.

Go away Hillary and take you "I won the popular vote aka
the turd in the punch bowl" w/ you.

BTW THE GOOD GUY WON! Thanx to some EDV help too

:loveya: DG & Crispini

[RevCheesehead]

43. The turd in the punchbowl...

is either a Baby Ruth or Karl Rove. :hi:

[Botany]

46. Did I ever tell you that you are my Fav?

Please don't tell the otters,

[RevCheesehead]

57. I won't.

The otters are busy frolicking with Berry.
How's Mama doing?

[Berry Cool]

63. Aw, go ahead, tell the otters.

They're sooooo cute.

Besides, I want some KOOS.

[Berry Cool]

47. A Miss America has threatened Scott McClellan??

Good thing it's not Miss Teen South Carolina. Because she would say his book is insulting to US Americans because it needs maps, because US Americans don't have maps of, like, the Iraq, such as.

[GigiMommy]

59. HA HA HA HA HA...

:rofl:

[Patsy Stone]

45. Here's my take on Ickes:

After getting his ass chewed out three times Saturday, I think he was all pouty and feeling threatened, so he pulled that card out of his pocket to pretend to be a big, bad man. Now he's got to play like it's actually an option to save that icky face of his.

My gut feeling is no one told him to say that to the RBC, it just came out in anger because no one was taking his stupid, illogical assertions seriously.

He even said he hadn't spoken to HRC about it when he was on MTP.

Blech, Harold. :puke:

[SeattleGirl]

48. He is a total nutball.

Blech, indeed! :puke:

[GigiMommy]

49. Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah...I'm back. Hi Everyone!

:hi:

[Patsy Stone]

54. Hi. GGM!

How are you and Miss Cassie this evening? :hi:

[GigiMommy]

71. Hi Patsy!!!

:hi: Doing fine! Survived one BUSY week. Cassie had her 1ST Ballet Recital Saturday. M-I-L and S-I-L came. Had to entertain solo, Hubby at the French Open. Yesterday, Cassie's Troop had "Bridging Ceremony" (from Brownies to Junior Scouts). Today, I gave blood. Pooped now.

[Patsy Stone]

83. Wow, woman

I'm tired just reading all that. Sit down and take a load off! :toast:

[GigiMommy]

91. Thanks...

:boring:

[Berry Cool]

86. Sounds like you're beat.

Was the ballet recital cute?

Bridging must have been fun too. Ah, the good old Girl Scout days! I remember becoming a Brownie with the mirror and everything.

"Twist me and turn me and show me the elf..."

[GigiMommy]

95. Everything was SO much fun.

I got pictures. Will try to post them later on this OLD computer.

[RevCheesehead]

64. Hi, Gigi and Cassie!

:hi::hug:

[GigiMommy]

103. Hi Rev!!!

:hi: Hi from Cassie! (She's busy playing, time for her to get ready for bed)

[RevCheesehead]

106. Tell her congratulations and Happy Fly-Up day!

I still remember mine... my God, some 30+ years later!

[Berry Cool]

66. Hello to GGM and Cassie!

:hi: Hope all is well with you.

[Berry Cool]

73. "Better...faster...Keithier."

:rofl: I love the ads for the new Countdown Web site.

[GigiMommy]

107. Hey Berry!

:hi:

[RevCheesehead]

50. Damned computer froze up on me!!

:grr:

I'm back!

[Patsy Stone]

56. Booooooooooo!

But you're back! Yaaaaaayyyyy!

[RevCheesehead]

68. Just for that...

YOU get to be president of my fan club.
Will you come to my psych meeting and protest? It'll be in Minneapolis.
We can go stand by the Mary Tyler Moore statue.

[Patsy Stone]

76. I have always wanted to go to Minneapolis

and MTM was just one reason. MST3K is another.

I'll wear pink and stand in the back of the room and scream a lot, 'k?

[RevCheesehead]

78. Perfect!

Oh, and we have to go to Mall of America - just because. :D

[Patsy Stone]

85. Absolutely!

:)

[rusty charly]

61. The dichotomy about Hillary is that

she looks the best she's ever looked. But, right now, I can't stand to look at her.

[Patsy Stone]

69. LOL

:toast:

[RevCheesehead]

62. I love it when Keith says "Duke University."

He loves me. :loveya:

[Berry Cool]

89. And Dan Patrick loves Duke.

(He has a sound drop of himself that he plays a lot, saying "And I love Duke.")

[RevCheesehead]

93. Then Dan goes on my list, too!

Dan :loveya: Patrick!

[Patsy Stone]

65. So glad to hear Teddy is doing well.

Also, Happy Birthday, Jerry Mathers.



And RIP, Bo Diddley.

[SeattleGirl]

67. I was very glad to hear that too.

And I didn't know it was the Beav's birthday!

[Patsy Stone]

72. Yes, ma'am.

June 2, 1948. Oy.

[Berry Cool]

97. Happy birthday Beave. Hope Ward wasn't too hard on you last night.

Hope you're still resting in peace, Lou Gehrig.

Rest well, Teddy.

So long, Bo. You truly did know Diddley. And you gave us a beat that will never die.

You can sing any number of songs to it, from "Not Fade Away" to "Who Do You Love."

You can hand-jive to it.

And, of course, you can recall that great commercial: "Life Savers, Life Savers, can't be beat..."

[mohinoaklawnillinois]

70. Hello all...

:hi:

Wolvie congrats. I saw the coverage of the one girl being reunited with her mother and it made me tear up. You have to be over the moon.. :bounce: :party:

I can't wait to hear how Sharon's day with Obama went.

[Berry Cool]

75. Me either. I hope her mom's memorial service is nice.

That's why she's not with us tonight.

[mohinoaklawnillinois]

79. I know she mentioned it last night. I think she'll be watching

the 9:00 pm rerun of Keith. I hope the memorial service is nice as well. She's really had a tough year so far.

[SharonRB]

137. Stop talking about me behind my back, you guys

:rofl:

Didn't you think I'd go back and read this? Just kidding, of course.

The memorial service was very nice. I'm glad we did it. There were actually more people at the service the day she died, which surprised me. A lot of those people didn't come tonight, although I thought they would. The speakers were good and really caught the essence of my mother.

[SeattleGirl]

80. Howdy, mo!

:hi:

[GigiMommy]

87. Hi MO!

:hi: Hope Sharon had a good time with the Obama visit. Wished I was there.

[SharonRB]

138. Sorry you weren't there, Gigi

It was great seeing him in a fairly small venue rather than thousands of people. I think there were about 1,000 there, so it was rather intimate.

[WolverineDG]

104. I'm a bit thrilled

slightly.

a lot.

:hi: :hug: thanks for the support, mo!

dg

[SharonRB]

136. It was great

The only bad part was that Nancy didn't make it. I dropped her ticket at her house on my way there early in the a.m. and she was going to meet me there. She texted me halfway through the town hall that her car battery had died and she needed to get a new one, so she didn't get there at all. I'll post pix and videos when I can get them uploaded. I tried to do the videos today, but it was taking too long.

I'll be in Cleveland the next couple of days, so probably won't get to it until later in the week.

[Patsy Stone]

74. You KNEW this spelling bee "numnuts" clip would get in there.

You just knew. And for the record, the word was numnah. :)

ed: clarity

[Berry Cool]

77. I was hoping to see it on Oddball

and I was not disappointed!

[bleever]

82. Scotty McClellan, Countdown viewer.

He told Terri Gross today that the White House (surprise!) doesn't like Keef's show, but that since he's left the administration he has found it to be an enjoyable way to stay informed.

Maybe we should invite him to join the KOEB!

:)

[RevCheesehead]

88. Well, OK...

but don't expect me to give him a tour of the boiler room. :hi:

[bleever]

98. That would definitely indicate

some psychological issues. :hi:

[Patsy Stone]

92. No, you.

:hi:

[rusty charly]

90. KO cut off that clip before the applause that McCain

DIDN'T GET.

[Patsy Stone]

94. #3 Israelity Check

:rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl:

[rusty charly]

96. Chris: If you already look like a nerd:

Don't snort when you laugh on TV. KO's funny, yes, but don't snort.

[RevCheesehead]

99. Amen.

Hi, rusty! :hi:

[rusty charly]

105. Hi, Rev!

[Patsy Stone]

100. Who dressed him?

And thank goodness there's no pocket protector.

[Berry Cool]

102. Now, don't laugh at Chris. He's giving us LOTS of KOOS.

Let us all kneel and give thanks for the KOOS!! :loveya:

[rusty charly]

101. The show's titling is right up

with The Daily Show. Excellent titling lately. Great word play.

[Berry Cool]

119. Oh noes. Keith just said the soldiers in Iraq are noble and brave

and then he said that they died in vain.

You know it, folks. I know it. Everyone knows it.

This will be used to gin up yet another attack on Keith, this one exploiting as many military families as can be gathered to astroturf it as can possibly be gathered, because he "hates the troops."

Because it's like the stupid flag pin thing.

You're not allowed to ever SAY that American soldiers died in vain.

Even if it's true.

Because if you do, that means you HATE THE TROOPS.

*heavy sigh*

[RevCheesehead]

121. No, I think he said "isn't that the point?"

Not really a direct quote.

Besides, Keef can handle it.

[Patsy Stone]

108. Uh. oh... Robert Byrd hospitalized.

:(

[SeattleGirl]

112. That's not good.

First Teddy, now Robert.

:-(

[Patsy Stone]

113. Not good at all.

Hopefully, they'll both be back soon.

[RevCheesehead]

109. Oh, Rupert's gonna get pwned!!!

:rofl: Can't wait!!

[Patsy Stone]

110. This should be good.

:popcorn:

[RevCheesehead]

114. The Australian Montgomery Burns!

:rofl: Arrr!! :rofl:

[Patsy Stone]

117. Jinx!

And the fact that it turned into a pirate accent was priceless.

[RevCheesehead]

118. Bleev should be a little teary right now.

Keith: honorary pirate. ;)

[Patsy Stone]

131. And the Beaver's birthday.

It's a big, big day in bleeverworld.

[Patsy Stone]

115. "Rupert Murdoch: The Australian Montgomery Burns"

LOL!

[RevCheesehead]

116. Arrgh!!

:rofl:

[Berry Cool]

Terry McAuliffe is gonna be a roadie for Jimmy Buffett!

:rofl:

[Patsy Stone]

133. My eyes popped out of my head this morning.

That showed up at about 8 a.m., on Morning Mika. Woo-weee. "Take it Coral Reefers!"

[Patsy Stone]

130. Speaking of which

I'm driving home and I see a new store in the neighborhood. I was driving too quickly to be able to see what kind of a store it was, but it's called Pirate.

It had a big lighted sign proclaiming, "Arrgh, we're open!"

Not kidding. :rofl:

[ralps]

120. Hi Patsy, Hi Everyone!! I'm back from dinner w/ my parents, Yumm! Meatloaf!

:hi: :loveya: :hug: :pals: :woohoo:

[RevCheesehead]

122. Did you bring home a kitty bag?

:hi:

[ralps]

126. Hi RevCheesehead, How are you all doing & Hi to Oreo, CC & lil' Keith! I brought

home some Meatloaf, but I don't think Crook will get any! I guess I'm a bad kitty Mommy! :hi: :loveya: :hug: :pals: :woohoo: :spank:

[RevCheesehead]

129. My cats wouldn't touch it, either.

They prefer deli-sliced turkey.

[SeattleGirl]

123. Hi ralps!

That sounds yummilicious!! :9

[ralps]

127. Hi SeattleGirl!! It was!

:hi: :loveya: :hug: :pals: :woohoo:

[GigiMommy]

128. Hi Ralps!!!

:hi:

[Patsy Stone]

132. J'adore meatloaf!

Lucky you. A beef stir-fry is nearly ready over here, but now you've got me thinking about meatloaf. Yum.

:hi:

[SeattleGirl]

124. Avoiding the wedgie?

:rofl:

[RevCheesehead]

125. OMG! That shirt!!

:rofl: He looks like... well, I don't know what he looks like, except a total loonie.

[rusty charly]

134. And polish it off with a

Harriet Christian joke. Bingo!
