[Patsy Stone]

2. Hi!

Tonight, I'm taping the Olympics instead. :hi:

Saakashvili points fingers at Bush and McCain, huh? So proud to be an American...

[Berry Cool]

6. Hi ralps and Pats!

:hi: I had dinner downtown with a friend and had to rush home on the bus.

Jeez. Even Georgians know we are fools.

[RevCheesehead]

5. Wolvie's back in the hospital.

Surgery tomorrow to remove spleen. Trying to stabilize hemoglobin. Prayers and best wishes greatly appreciated.

[Berry Cool]

9. Oh my goodness. Prayers are here.

Maybe asking Keith for the gray suit was a bad idea.

I'd call her tonight, but maybe I should hold off and let her rest up beforehand?

[RevCheesehead]

11. I just finished talking to her.

She sounds very tired, but a short call might help. :)

I read her my post first, to get permission to give "off topic info."

[Berry Cool]

42. Thanks, I'll give her a shout.

:hi: and hi, Rev!

[ralps]

10. Oh No!! I hope she gets better soon!! & Hi RevCheesehead, Oreo, CC & lil' Keith!

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

[RevCheesehead]

12. Please think good thoughts/prayers for her.

And the kitties say Hi to you and Crook! :hi:

Did Crook have his vet visit today?

[ralps]

17. Yes he did & He's lost about 1 pound in the last year so the vet took some blood

& I'll find out next week what the tests show! :hi: :loveya: :hug: :pals: :scared: :shrug:

[RevCheesehead]

28. Who's a brave little kitty??

Who's a good boy?
Yes, you are!
Here's your tuna:
(and your mom gets the guy!)



And here's one I couldn't resist!

[ralps]

37. LOL Thanks for the Photos RevCheesehead & Crook thanks you for the tuna! He

was a brave kitty today! :hi: :loveya: :hug: :pals: :woohoo: :rofl:

[Berry Cool]

67. Hope all goes well for Crook, ralps!

Lots of best wishes going out tonight.

[Patsy Stone]

16. Oh, no!

How horrid.

Please get well and get back here soon, Wolvie! :loveya: :loveya:

:hi:, Rev. How's life after Brett treating you?

[RevCheesehead]

19. Well...

I went to Green Bay and didn't even think of the Packers today.
In fact, I saw a sign over a restaurant that said "Good luck, Aaron - it's your time now," and I seriously thought they were wishing some kid well who was going off to college. :silly:

[Patsy Stone]

68. LOFL!

To little Aaron, on the occasion of his Bar Mitzvah.

[RevCheesehead]

73. "Here's your pen and pencil set."

:rofl:

[GigiMommy]

21. OH MY!!!!

I didn't know the circumstances of her first hospital stay!!! Certainly my prayers are with you Wolfie!:hug:

[RevCheesehead]

30. Bless ya, Gigi.

She'll check in sometime later tomorrow or the next day, depending on how things go. :hug:

:hi:

[SeattleGirl]

7. Drive by howdy!

I'm watching, but I'm trying to get rid of a headache, so just popping in for a sec. :hi:

[Patsy Stone]

20. Feel better, SG!

:hug:

[SeattleGirl]

34. Thanks, Patsy

:hug:

[GigiMommy]

25. Hi SG!!

:hi: :bounce: Rest easy.

[SeattleGirl]

36. Thanks Gigi

:hi: :bounce: :bounce:

[RevCheesehead]

35. Do you have any willow bark to chew on?

Or aspirin?

Feel better, sweetie. :hug:

[SeattleGirl]

43. Neither.

But I do have chocolate, which I've actually used before to rid myself of headaches. Good thing I don't get too many of them :evilgrin:

[RevCheesehead]

45. Dayum!

Come to think of it, my head's sort of starting to ache a little bit...
and there's that chocolate ice cream in the freezer... :rofl:

[GigiMommy]

56. Cassie beat you to it...

She had the rest of the Oreo Ice Cream with her left over Birthday Cake from Grandma.:loveya:

[Berry Cool]

70. Hope you feel better, SG.

If I ate chocolate to cure every headache, I think I'd be big as a house.

[Berry Cool]

44. HI GGM and SG!

:hi: Leave it to Keith to predict the election by a bobblehead giveaway at a ballpark.

[SeattleGirl]

Hey Berry!

:hi:

[GigiMommy]

59. Hi Berry!!!

:hi: :bounce: Is there a Keith Bobblehead!?!

[RevCheesehead]

63. I've been begging for a Keith bobblehead for YEARS.

Countdown Staff? Are you reading this????

[Berry Cool]

72. I guess one was made once, but it was kinda ugly.

The skin looked sickly white, and the glasses looked like Dominick Dunne's.

[RevCheesehead]

76. It should be modeled after "Bloggerman."

Complete with tiny little hands and wrist hair....

[Patsy Stone]

79. You do realize

that as a side benefit sad coincidence, the eyebrows would frighten small children, right?

[Patsy Stone]

62. Ron Paul

came in fourth behind Obama, McCain, and Mr. Met.

:rofl:

[ralps]

8. Here's the nightly LOL Kitty & Doggie Photos

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

[RevCheesehead]

14. LOL!

I was in Petsmart today... you should see the doggie outfits and doggie Halloween costumes! :rofl:

[ralps]

22. Oh My!! LOL Did they have any Kitty Halloween outfits?? By the way here's a Kitty

in Pajamas



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

[RevCheesehead]

38. Actually, they weren't specifically labelled "Dog."

So, if Crook isn't too picky, I'm sure he could put on a witch's hat or something.

And that pic? :rofl:

[Berry Cool]

24. Boy, Keith sure does love to tease about Obama's VP

and cut off for a break supposedly right before he says who he thinks it will be.

Joe Biden...Oh boy, are we talking about Neil Kinnock again???

[RevCheesehead]

41. How the hell do you remember that name?

Sheesh. you must have a photographic memory.
Or good Googling technique.

[Berry Cool]

75. Keith mentioned him.

That helped.

[ralps]

13. WTFrell??? The Countdown producer cut off Keith in mid speech???

:hi: :loveya: :hug: :pals: :wtf:

[Berry Cool]

46. No, Keith has them do that on purpose.

Whenever he's about to mention Obama's supposed VP choice.

He's a tease.

[RevCheesehead]

15. Alright - who posted the sticky?

:rofl:

[Patsy Stone]

18. C'est moi

I was too lazy to actually post a sticky with Christian's picture on it and the words photoshopped over it. :)

[bleever]

27. Hot mess!

:hi:

[Patsy Stone]

39. And

that was my other choice. :)

:hi:

[RevCheesehead]

31. I thought so!

:rofl:

[Patsy Stone]

71. And now it's gone.

DU Sticky Prime Time is upon us. That means that no matter how much GDP bitches, they all still watch Keith. :)

Ah, yes... Thanks for mentioning the psychotic Michelle Bachmann. Oy vey.

[Berry Cool]

33. Well, we appreciated it.

I think it's cool.

[SharonRB]

40. I knew it was you

I was going to say so as soon as I got caught up on the thread. The "Fierce" gave you away.

:hi:

Poor Wolvie! :hug:

[Patsy Stone]

69. Damn

How predictable am I?

:hi:

[GigiMommy]

23. Hello Everyone!

:hi:

[Patsy Stone]

29. Hi, GGM!

I was thinking about Cassie having to wear the cast for the first three days of school and it occurred to me that that will make her a star twice. First, she'll have to answer all the usual questions for a few days, then they'll all have new questions to ask her when she has it removed.

:)

:hi:

[GigiMommy]

52. Hi Patsy!!!

:hi: :bounce: You're right. If it is ANYTHING like Vacation Bible School this week, she'll have a ball! Today, they made a Dreidel!

[Berry Cool]

77. Are you serious??

I swear, the War on Chanukah starts earlier and earlier every year!!

[RevCheesehead]

47. Hi Gigi and Cassie!

:hi::bounce:

[GigiMommy]

74. Hi Rev!!!

:hi: :bounce: How are you? We're OK. Oh I forgot...there was a Miniature Horse at Cassie's VBS today. Yesterday, chickens.

[RevCheesehead]

78. All that, and a Dreidl today!

Does she know what "Oy Vey" means yet? :rofl:

[Patsy Stone]

26. Is it a coincidence

that the frontrunners for the VP both have the same phonetics in the beginning of their names? Bayh? Biden?

Hmm....

[Berry Cool]

Yea for Alan Colmes! LET'S HEAR IT FOR THE BOY!!!!

Has Steph featured THAT sound bite yet???

:applause:

[Berry Cool]

55. And let me just say: Rush Limbaugh is the biggest anal cyst on the planet

for what he said about Elizabeth Edwards.

Of course, that Viagra-popping freak probably has no use for women of any kind at all, period.

If that's the case, he should be shunned from the gay community too.

Then again, he may always have a home with NAMBLA.

[RevCheesehead]

58. The New Puritan = Jackass.

Yup.

[Patsy Stone]

64. Un-freakin'-believable.

What an evil man.

[Berry Cool]

81. It's even more horrible to see how tickled he was to say it.

"Ha ha, ho ho, I'm such a little scamp...sometimes I amuse myself."

:puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke:

[CBHagman]

93. Women are foolish enough to marry him, but they wise up.

Rush Limbaugh is crap at marriage. It says so on About.com. Divorced three times, at least of this writing.

[Patsy Stone]

32. Idiot Son has been on vacation a total of 2.5 years?

How did he find the time to do this much damage??

I guess staffing really is everything.

[RevCheesehead]

50. Ya gotta admit, he's really efficient in destruction.

Probably got good marks for it in Kindergarten. x(

[Patsy Stone]

48. Oh, that is so NOT the Chupacabra.

Nope, no way...

[SharonRB]

49. I'm sure happy Biden is still on the short list

I'm rooting for him and Wes, who isn't on the list as far as I know. I really don't want Bayh or Kaine, but I guess it's not up to me.

[Patsy Stone]

51. Me too

I wasn't a Biden fan to begin with, but he grew on me, and now I like him fine.

[SharonRB]

53. I like him a lot

Even his outspokenness could be helpful as VP.

[RevCheesehead]

54. Hi Sharon!

:hi:

[SharonRB]

57. Hi, Rev

:hi:

Sorry to hear Wolvie is back in the hospital. I don't think I'll be able to call her tonight -- I have a conference call after the show. Is her surgery tomorrow?

[RevCheesehead]

61. Yeah, about 10 am.

So think good thoughts and prayers... and probably call her either late tomorrow or Friday. I asked her for her friend to just call me and say everything's OK.

[Berry Cool]

60. Hi, Sha-Sha!

:hi: Glad to have you here!

[Berry Cool]

65. WOO HOO! A mini-Special Comment: "Rush Is a Hole!"

:applause: Let's hear it for the boy!!!!!

Thank you, Keith.

That was a beautiful defense of INTELLIGENT women everywhere.

[Patsy Stone]

83. It was

and heeeere's Joel!

[GigiMommy]

80. Hi Sharon!!

:hi: :bounce: Starting to see more Smart Cars around. I always check to see if its a CUTE red one.

[SharonRB]

82. Hi, Gigi

I know of at least a couple just like mine on your side of town. I have a UM plate and an Obama sticker on mine.

[RevCheesehead]

66. If I had $ for a sticky:

Right now, after the yellow dog democrat stickie, I'd write:
"Yellow Cat Democrat - - don't give a shit about Republicans."

[Berry Cool]

86. And Joel McHale gives us KOOS!

:loveya: Thanks, Joel!!!

[GigiMommy]

84. "OH HELL NO! I'M RE-ARMING AS WE SPEAK!"

:rofl:

[Patsy Stone]

85. "We got nothing but time, and a guy in a bikini."

:rofl:

[Berry Cool]

87. "Waylon Jennings and Madame Campbell Brown??"

:rofl: Keith, nice try, but I think you mean "Wayland Flowers and Madame."

[Patsy Stone]

89. Right?

:rofl:

[RevCheesehead]

88. Tonight's shoutout is to Seattle Girl!

:bounce::bounce:

[SeattleGirl]

90. Yay! Keef lurves me too!

:bounce: :bounce:

[Berry Cool]

92. Yeah, I know.

But shit, Keith, if I have to set to record the show (which I did tonight), you can't go over the time block specified on the cable schedule. Because when you do, my cable shuts off BEFORE YOU GET DONE PITCHING THE PAPER WAD! :grr:

Now I have to re-record the paper pitch!!!! :banghead:

[Patsy Stone]

91. It sure was

And it gave Keith a chance to do a little stand-up too. Shame he didn't say, "Try the veal!"
