KOEB Meeting: 06/27/08 -- Unity For You and Me Edition

[Patsy Stone]

Happy Friday, kids! :hi:

[SharonRB]

1. Hey, Pats

I'm here, but a little out of it. A few of us left work early and went for a drink and my mojito was a little stronger than I expected. I collapsed on the couch as soon as I got home and have been napping.

[RevCheesehead]

10. Hi, Sharon

:hi:

[SharonRB]

13. Hi, Rev

:hi:

[ralps]

2. Hi Patsy, Hi Everyone!!

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

[RevCheesehead]

11. Hi, ralps!

:hi: The kitties and I are waiting for the rain. They say MEOW to Crook.

[ralps]

16. Hi RevCheesehead, How are you all doing & Hi to Oreo, CC & lil' Keith! Crook says

Meow back! :hi: :loveya: :hug: :pals: :woohoo: :hug:

[RevCheesehead]

21. I walked into my bedroom to check out Keith in semi-hi-def...

and all three were in there, waiting for me to turn on the TV.
THEN they expected food. :eyes:

[ralps]

32. I guess they think they have you trained! LOL

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

[RevCheesehead]

36. No...

...they KNOW it. Sigh - and so do I. :rofl:

[SharonRB]

3. I streamed the whole thing and I've got to say

she did an amazing job. If he did wind up picking her as a running mate, I'm warming up to the idea and think I could live with it. Not my first choice, but I'd be okay.

[Patsy Stone]

6. I did too.

Not sure about the running mate thing, though. :hi:, Shar! Shabbat Shazzam!

[SharonRB]

8. Shabbat Shazzam to you, too. n/t

[Patsy Stone]

27. Don't work too hard

at typing this evening. I don't think there's really any news to speak of. :)

[SharonRB]

24. Like I said, not my first choice

but I could deal with it. They really did look good together today and she certainly said all the right things.

[Patsy Stone]

28. IT was a lovely speech

and the banter between them was cute and quite amiable. I was glad about that.

[Berry Cool]

4. Surprise, surprise!!

:hi: MSNBC is showing Keith LIVE on the Web site tonight...and OMG, he's NAKED!!!!!

I'm liking THIS version of Countdown MUCH better than the one where they chyron-on his clothes for the cable-watching public!!!! :loveya:

I have to give this my full attention...sorry...catch ya later!!

[Patsy Stone]

7. I thought you weren't going to be here?

Glad you are, though. :hi:

[RevCheesehead]

12. NAKED????

:::::THUNK!!:::::

Someone pass me a Bay Air and some smelling salts! :hi:

[Berry Cool]

105. LOL! PSYCH!!!!

:rofl: ...But fortunately, not 101...

...Just a lil' joke...I still gotta watch the posted show...you would not believe what competition there has been for the computer...you would think there was NOTHING to DO in this town on a Friday night...then again, look where I am...LOL...but I won't be here ALL night...

[Patsy Stone]

5. Alright, this is a lovely outfit, Keith.

Is that the Boss Hijack suit again? The stripes don't look as pronounced?

I like this purple tie better than the other lighter one, too. Is it new?

[RevCheesehead]

14. Nah - I think it's Retro Keith.

I remember this combo from a couple years ago. :hi:

[RevCheesehead]

9. "We Are the World.... We Are the Children...."

Oh, sorry... I just felt like breaking into song. :)

:hi: Hello, everyone! Happy Friday!! :bounce::bounce:

[Patsy Stone]

17. "I'd like to teach the world to sing

in perfect harmony."

:hi:, Rev! TGIF! :bounce:

[RevCheesehead]

26. "The ink is black, the page is white,

together we'll learn to read and write."


We could do this all night! :D

[Patsy Stone]

33. Kumbaya, my Lord. Kumbaya

Kumbaya, my Lord. Kumbaya.

:rofl:

[RevCheesehead]

39. "Michael, row the boat ashore, Alleluia..."

"Sister, help to set the sail - alleluia."

[Patsy Stone]

42. "When I find myself in times of trouble

Mother Mary comes to me, speaking words of wisdom, Let it Be."

[RevCheesehead]

46. "If I had a hammer, I'd hammer in the morning...

I'd hammer in the evening, all over this land."

[SharonRB]

50. You took that one right out of my mouth

How about: This land is your land, this land is my land, from Kaleforneeyah to the New Yawk Island...

[RevCheesehead]

52. "The answer, my friend, is blowing in the wind."

We once had a pastor who had an affinity for protest songs of the 60's and 70's. Church was.... interesting. :)

[Patsy Stone]

66. "He's got the whole world in his hands

He's got the whole world in his hands..."

[RevCheesehead]

69. "Left a good job in the city, working for the man every night and day...

...and I never lost one minute of sleeping, thinking of the way things might have been."

[Patsy Stone]

102. "When you walk through the storm

Hold your head up high
And don't be afraid of the dark
At the end of the storm
There's a golden sky
And the sweet silver song of the lark

Walk on, through the wind
Walk on, through the rain
Though your dreams be tossed and blown
Walk on, walk on, with hope in your heart
And you'll never walk alone!
You'll never walk alone!"

[Gogi]

103. "June is bustin out all over!"

Hey, at least they did'nt hold this shindig in Payback, MO. (Yes, there really is a town by that name.)

[Patsy Stone]

107. LOL!

That song gets me every time.

Payback, MO? That's a great name. What's the story behind it? Is it juicy?

:hi:, Gogi! Happy Friday! Loved the anti-purple dinosaur song too, btw. :)

[Gogi]

108. I'd have to look it up, Pats!

How you girl?

[Patsy Stone]

119. Not too bad at all.

Relatively mellow day at work, the weekend is looming, and the cats are sleeping.

You?

[RevCheesehead]

113. "Climb Every Mountain., ..

...ford every stream.."

Oh God, not the showtunes!! :P

[SharonRB]

72. Damn!

You got another one!

[Patsy Stone]

97. It just came to me

in a moment of peace, love and happiness. :)

[Patsy Stone]

54. "I love you. You love me.

We're a happy family. With a great big hug and a kiss from me to you. Won't you say you love me too?"

[RevCheesehead]

57. AAAaaaakkk!

Make it go away!!! :banghead:

[Patsy Stone]

60. Horrible, isn't he?

I still wonder why kids went for this thing...

[RevCheesehead]

63. psst...

they still do

[Patsy Stone]

68. I will never understand.

My goddaughter: Barney free since 2005. :)

[bleever]

76. He's not as bad as Grover.

Norquist, that is.

[RevCheesehead]

80. I'm glad you clarified that.

[Patsy Stone]

91. Only you...

:spray:

[Patsy Stone]

90. Poor Grover

to have to share a name with that creature. :(

At least Norquist will never be called Super Grover.

[GigiMommy]

84. I'll take Barney over these guys ANYDAY

These "things" scare me.:scared:

[Patsy Stone]

95. Ab-so-lute-ly.

So damn freaky. The Teletubbies used to rule as the scariest things on TV, but Boobah knocks 'em way out of the park. The other thing that gives me the creeps? The Doodlebops.

Somebody at Disney's got some 'splainin' to do.

[GigiMommy]

71. Happiness is...

FINDING A PENCIL. PIZZA WITH SAUSAGE. TELLING THE TIME. HAPPINESS IS LEARNING TO WHISTLE.
TYING YOUR SHOE FOR THE VERY FIRST TIME.

[RevCheesehead]

82. You are my friend, you are special,

you are my friend, you're special to me.
There isn't anyone like you,
like you, my friend, I like you.
In the daytime, in the nighttime,
any time that you feel's the right time.
For a friendship with me,
you see, F-R-I-E-N-D, special,
you're special to me.
There's only one in this wonderful world.
You. Are. Special.

Hi, neighbor!

[RevCheesehead]

85. OMG! Look what I found!!

http://www.emanation.com/mrrogerspocket.php

I so want this!!! :rofl:

[Patsy Stone]

100. Excellent!

That's gonna make a great Christmas present for some lucky folks. Thanks! :thumbsup:

[SharonRB]

86. Won't you be my neighbor? n/t

[WolverineDG]

74. One of the most surreal moments of my life

which took place in an even surreal-ler one was the night we ate at Denny's in San Angelo & the waitress came over with a friend to sing us the Barney song.

:crazy:

We never asked why....

dg

[Gogi]

106. Anti purple dinosaur song:

"I hate you!"
"You hate me!"
"We're a dysfunctional family"
"A shot rings out and Barney hits the floor"
"No more purple dinosaur."

[Berry Cool]

109. The song my nieces learned when they were old enough to get over Barney

"Joy to the world, Barney's dead
We barbecued his head!
Don't worry about his body,
We flushed it down the potty,
And 'round and 'round it went,
And 'round and 'round it went,
And 'round and 'round and 'round it went."

[RevCheesehead]

115. !!

:rofl:

What a shame about that body - it might fill a gas tank.

[Berry Cool]

121. True

One-animal solution to the gas shortage.

Finally went to an Internets cafe today to watch the show and do this. I don't know what happened to the ones at the hotel but they suddenly became slower than molasses. When I tried to reach the Countdown site and it wasn't halfway downloaded after a half hour last night, I gave up. Great show, though, now that I've seen it. Keith was really into the voices last night, too. He does an excellent Marvin the Martian!

[RevCheesehead]

114. !!

:rofl:

and :applause: :patriot: and a hearty thank-you!

[SharonRB]

79. Where have all the flowers gone?

[SharonRB]

47. Like a Bridge Over Troubled Waters

You will lay me down.

[Patsy Stone]

55. I love that Travelocity ad with the construction.

That guy's adorable, and I laugh everytime I see it.

"Really?"

[Berry Cool]

110. LOL, I am LIVING that ad right now.

Luckily, it's not quite THAT loud. And they don't start until about 8:30 AM.

[bleever]

44. "Jeremiah was a bullfrog."

:hi:

[RevCheesehead]

51. "Dead Skunk in the middle of the road...

...stinkin' to high heaven."

:hi: :rofl:

[Gogi]

104. Who dat? Grover Norquist? eom

[RevCheesehead]

116. Figuratively speaking, yes.

Literally, it was done by Loudon Wainwright, III.
I keep lots of useless trivia in my brain for just such an occasion.

:hi: Good to see ya, Gogi!

[SharonRB]

58. The times they are a-changin'

Come gather 'round people
Wherever you roam
And admit that the waters
Around you have grown
And accept it that soon
You'll be drenched to the bone.
If your time to you
Is worth savin'
Then you better start swimmin'
Or you'll sink like a stone
For the times they are a-changin'.

Come writers and critics
Who prophesize with your pen
And keep your eyes wide
The chance won't come again
And don't speak too soon
For the wheel's still in spin
And there's no tellin' who
That it's namin'.
For the loser now
Will be later to win
For the times they are a-changin'.

Come senators, congressmen
Please heed the call
Don't stand in the doorway
Don't block up the hall
For he that gets hurt
Will be he who has stalled
There's a battle outside
And it is ragin'.
It'll soon shake your windows
And rattle your walls
For the times they are a-changin'.

Come mothers and fathers
Throughout the land
And don't criticize
What you can't understand
Your sons and your daughters
Are beyond your command
Your old road is
Rapidly agin'.
Please get out of the new one
If you can't lend your hand
For the times they are a-changin'.

The line it is drawn
The curse it is cast
The slow one now
Will later be fast
As the present now
Will later be past
The order is
Rapidly fadin'.
And the first one now
Will later be last
For the times they are a-changin'.

[RevCheesehead]

62. Maybe Barack can use that one?

I'd love to use it at church, but I'd catch too much grief for it.

[SharonRB]

70. Love Me, I'm a Liberal - Phil Ochs

I cried when they shot Medgar Evers
Tears ran down my spine
I cried when they shot Mr. Kennedy
As though I'd lost a father of mine
But Malcolm X got what was coming
He got what he asked for this time
So love me, love me, love me, I'm a liberal

I go to civil rights rallies
And I put down the old D.A.R.
I love Harry and Sidney and Sammy
I hope every colored boy becomes a star
But don't talk about revolution
That's going a little bit too far
So love me, love me, love me, I'm a liberal

I cheered when Humphrey was chosen
My faith in the system restored
I'm glad the commies were thrown out
of the A.F.L. C.I.O. board
I love Puerto Ricans and Negros
as long as they don't move next door
So love me, love me, love me, I'm a liberal

The people of old Mississippi
Should all hang their heads in shame
I can't understand how their minds work
What's the matter don't they watch Les Crain?
But if you ask me to bus my children
I hope the cops take down your name
So love me, love me, love me, I'm a liberal

I read New republic and Nation
I've learned to take every view
You know, I've memorized Lerner and Golden
I feel like I'm almost a Jew
But when it comes to times like Korea
There's no one more red, white and blue
So love me, love me, love me, I'm a liberal

I vote for the democratic party
They want the U.N. to be strong
I go to all the Pete Seeger concerts
He sure gets me singing those songs
I'll send all the money you ask for
But don't ask me to come on along
So love me, love me, love me, I'm a liberal

Once I was young and impulsive
I wore every conceivable pin
Even went to the socialist meetings
Learned all the old union hymns
But I've grown older and wiser
And that's why I'm turning you in
So love me, love me, love me, I'm a liberal

[WolverineDG]

38. When this old world gets me down

& there's no love to be found
I close my eyes & soon I find
I'm in a playground in my mind....

hee hee

dg

[GigiMommy]

49. Uh, U.N.I.T.Y.,

U.N.I.T.Y. that's a unity
U.N.I.T.Y., love a black man from infinity to infinity...


(from Queen Latifah)

That's the only part that fits.

[ralps]

15. WTF??? When Barack Obame has over 1.5 million donors why would he really

need Hillary''s "Big Corporate Donors"??? :hi: :loveya: :hug: :pals: :wtf:

[Patsy Stone]

18. For the big, fat checks.

:hi:, ralps!

[WolverineDG]

:hi:

:loveya:

dg

[SharonRB]

29. I'm not going near any of those tonight

Although they look really good. That one mojito did me in.

[RevCheesehead]

31. Did you do the mojito dance, too?

That alone would kill me.

[SharonRB]

40. Never even heard of it.

[RevCheesehead]

43. It's on one of those TV commercials.

The bartender is crushing mint, and the scantily-clad women are gyrating their hips to the beat of the music.

[Patsy Stone]

37. Yes

I think that was quite enough. One of these and you'll be table dancing, right before you throw up and pass out. (Is it Friday already?)

[RevCheesehead]

30. I think you need to split the infinitive.

"Bah, fucking humbug."

Woofie! :loveya:

[WolverineDG]

35. heya cheesey!!

how's the computer acting tonight?

:loveya:

dg

[RevCheesehead]

48. It's behaving well.

I have no need for Orange Cat technical assistance. :P

[WolverineDG]

75. I try to explain that to mine

but he insists, oh no, windows vista will crash if he isn't allowed to plant his butt on the laptop at least once a day. :eyes:

dg

[GigiMommy]

20. T.G.I.F.!!!

[Patsy Stone]

23. Amen! TGIF

:hi:, Gigi!

[GigiMommy]

53. Hi Patsy!!!

:hi:

[RevCheesehead]

34. Hi, Gigi and Cassie!!

:hi: :bounce::bounce:

[GigiMommy]

56. Hi Rev!!!

:hi: Just me and Freckles. Cassie's out playing with friends.

[RevCheesehead]

59. I'm glad Freckles is giving you loyal companionship!

Good doggie!

[GigiMommy]

81. BARK BARK!!

:loveya: (Thank you)

[SharonRB]

41. LOL - check this out

http://www.songsofunity.com/

[Patsy Stone]

45. Wow!

That should be airbrushed on the side of a van -- in 1970. :rofl:

[Patsy Stone]

61. I was waiting for the Brothel Bus to show up somewhere.

Yes, only in Miami. You gotta give her credit for taking an age old product and improving on it. LOL.

[RevCheesehead]

65. Is David Cassidy driving?

:bounce::bounce:

[WolverineDG]

77. Hello world, hear the song that we're singin'

C'mon get happeee!!

dg

[Patsy Stone]

96. "Hello world, here's a song that we're singing

Come on, get happy!" Although Wolvie beat me to it.

:loveya:, David!



Oh.My.Goodness :rofl:: http://www.stuckinthe70s.com/1972mags.htm

[Berry Cool]

111. Well, it's like I said

Some of us obviously never got over our childhood habit of turning on the TV on Friday nights to swoon over a guy named Keith.

[RevCheesehead]

117. Oh!

"Love you dearly" :loveya::loveya::loveya:

And that website? :rofl:
I still have that Tony DeFranko single, "Heartbeat." :)

[Patsy Stone]

120. Listen to my heart pound

Listen to my love sound. :rofl:

Okay, I need to point out some things on that there web page.

1) Truly, not every Osmond is worthy of a full page. How many Alan or Merrill Osmond fans are out there really?
2) Butch Patrick and "Randy" Mantooth pinup pages. LOFL!
3) New Faces to Love? Anybody ever heard of these guys? Anyone? Bueller?

4) Guide for Girls: Let's Design a Donny-Mobile!
5) Article: Danny Bonaduce -- Be My First Date

:)

[Berry Cool]

123. "Be Danny Bonaduce's First Date"

"But most definitely NOT his last."

I love how Michael Lloyd says his hobby is "girls." Didn't they all say that? Even the gay ones?

[ailsagirl]

112. Didn't it say on the back of the bus: "Careful! Nervous Mother

Driving" or some such nonsense?

Ah, those were the days...

[RevCheesehead]

118. Why, yes it did!

[Berry Cool]

122. "DANGER, NERVOUS MOTHER--

DOING WHAT"?!?!?!?

[ailsagirl]

127. LOL :D

[bleever]

64. A large sock full of manure!

Man, there are times when you need one of those.

[RevCheesehead]

67. I could use that instead of a censer!!

"We lift our prayers before you, just as we are." :rofl:

[bleever]

73. Thy will be dung!

:rofl:

[RevCheesehead]

87. ROFLMAO!!!!

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[Berry Cool]

124. No censer-ship at this church

But the pastor does know how to wave the crap around.

[RevCheesehead]

128. She also lets it hit the fan...

but only when it really needs to. :evilgrin:

[Patsy Stone]

88. ...

:applause: :rofl:

[WolverineDG]

78. Well, Washington is full of it.....

:hide:

dg

[ralps]

83. Today's worst person in the world is Sean Hannity of Fixed noise for going from

100% for the North Korea deal to 100% Against it !! LOL :hi: :loveya: :hug: :pals: :woohoo: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[bleever]

93. Got any good LOL kitties for a Friday night, ralps?

Happy weekend!

[Berry Cool]

125. That is just too beautiful.

Hey, Hannity, would you like a beach towel to go with those flip-flops?

[RevCheesehead]

89. Oh, poop - I'm out of epsom salts.

I just wanna soak my feet. Is baking soda an acceptable alternative?

[Patsy Stone]

92. Hey, Derrick!

I knew you'd be around to talk about the Phoenix Mission.

http://phoenix.lpl.arizona.edu/

Watched a whole show about it the other night. It was fascinating, but I felt like a bit of a geek.

[SharonRB]

94. Oh, no! Smerc

is subbing for Dan tonight.

[Patsy Stone]

98. Turned it off so fast.

So fast. :puke:

[SharonRB]

99. He's actually thinking about voting for Barack

but he doesn't like the way he seems to have flip flopped lately -- FISA, public financing, etc.

[Patsy Stone]

101. Right

Because McCain never flip-flopped on anything. :eyes: It's nuance, Michael; go look it up if you don't know what it means.

[Berry Cool]

126. Please allow me to conclude.

"Every woman, every man
Join the Caravan of Love
Stand up, stand up, stand up
Everybody take a stand
Join the Caravan of Love
Stand up, stand up, stand up
I'm your sister, oh, I'm your sister, don't you know
He's my brother, oh, he's my brother, don't you know...
