KOEB Meeting 8/15/08 Keith Still AWOL Edition

[Berry Cool]

Sorry, Rachel...we're not fooled.

:hi: But we're here anyway.

Happy Friday!

[bleever]

1. Great pic!

Happy Friday, Berry.

[ralps]

2. Hi BerryBush, Hi Everyone! Just SHUT The Frell Up McSame!!

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

[Berry Cool]

6. Hi ralps! Hi. Crook!

:hi: Hope your evening is great!

[RevCheesehead]

12. Hi ralps and Crook!

I think I'm gonna steal one of Bunny's names for him: McThuselah. :evilgrin:

:hi: :hug:

[ralps]

13. Hi RevCheesehead, Crook & I are doing good & Hi to Oreo, CC & lil' Keith! I've

always liked the McSame name! :hi: :loveya: :hug: :pals: :woohoo: :rofl:

[Berry Cool]

20. I think that's one of the best.

[Berry Cool]

3. Hiya, bleev!

:hi: How's your Friday so far?

[bleever]

17. Looking better every minute.

I think I need one of them fruity umbrella drinks.

:hi:

[SeattleGirl]

4. Hi Berry! Happy Friday everybody!

And since I get to see the lovely Dr. Maddow LIVE AND IN PERSON tomorrow, drinks are on me!

[RevCheesehead]

8. I get dibs on the one with the umbrella!

:hi: Hi, SG! :hug::loveya:

[SeattleGirl]

14. Have as many umbrella drinkies as you'd like, Rev!

I've got an endless supply!

:loveya: :hug: :hi:

[RevCheesehead]

23. Yay!

I wish you could deliver them in person! :toast:

[Berry Cool]

10. Hi SG! Thanks and clinkies!

:toast: Hope you have a great time with Mama...but hide the box wine, she's one wild gal. And make sure your driver knows where the hell he's going. :rofl:

(Adding: I say that because Steph will be there too, correct? Not just the lovely Dr. M?)

[SeattleGirl]

16. Actually, Rachel, Mama, Mike Malloy, Sam Seder and Thom Hartmann

will all be there, and Ron Reagan is the moderator.

I think it's gonna be great!

(And I'll make sure to hide the box wine!)

[Berry Cool]

22. Wow. That may be the greatest concentration of intellectual firepower in one room

since--as they say--the night Thomas Jefferson dined alone.

[SeattleGirl]

55. I really scored with this!

I missed last year's event, because I wasn't quick enough in getting a ticket (they sell out FAST).

[ralps]

11. Hi SeattleGirl!!! Woohoo!! & You also get to see Mike Malloy, Randi Rhodes, Sam

Seder, Thom Hartmann, Stephanie Miller & Cenk Uygur<( I think Cenk will be there)!!! Oops I keep forgetting someone! :hi: :loveya: :hug: :pals: :woohoo:

[SeattleGirl]

18. I don't think Cenk will be there. He's not on the list, but Thom Hartmann

is. I am so looking forward to this!

:woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo:

[Berry Cool]

I'm sure you will have a wonderful time.

And while you're there, tell Randi it's "subsidize," not "substidize."

Just one little thing that makes me squirrely when I listen to her.

Oh, and get her drunk and ask her why she is always trash-talking Keith.

[SeattleGirl]

56. Actually, Randi admits straight out that she cannot say

"subsidize". It used to irritate me too, until she said that.

[Berry Cool]

67. Does she? I never heard her explain that.

Some people in my family told me they couldn't pronounce "specific." They kept saying "pacific" instead. I told them it was easy and I had no problem with it. :-) Oh well!

[Berry Cool]

19. Maybe so, but I'm pissed at Cenk today.

I was listening to Young Turks this morning, and he was discussing John Edwards, and he essentially said that every man who's not ugly (and hence desired by no other women) will cheat on his woman if he gets the chance. :grr: He was saying some crap about how the promiscuousness of most gay men shows us how all men would behave sexually if they could get away with it. It's just that most of the straight ones can't, because they can't find enough women who are equally willing to be their promiscuous partners and not demand faithfulness from them.

SG, you must take him to task for that one.

[SeattleGirl]

57. Whoa!! He said that?

Sheesh, Cenk doesn't go all stereotype like that! First, he's assuming that men cannot be faithful; any pretty thing that comes along, well, that's it!

Second, he is assuming that all gay men are promiscuous. Way to slander an entire group of people there, Cenk!

[Berry Cool]

68. I was shocked too!

It was like he was essentially saying that men are walking penises and can't help it.

[bleever]

24. If your drink needs an umbrella,

maybe you should really go inside?

Those all look good right now.

[RevCheesehead]

26. Nah, those double as cat toys.

I wanna watch CC tear it to shreds. :)

:hi:

[bleever]

32. Kitties also like rain hats.

[Berry Cool]

33. Maybe so.

But if that is a rain hat, I live in a desert. :-(

[RevCheesehead]

36. ...

:spank:






:rofl:

[Berry Cool]

41. Why are you spanking me?

I'm telling you that unfortunately, I'm not doing anything that would merit a spanking.

And, as the late, great Rock Hudson would say, "Aww, that's too bad."

[RevCheesehead]

42. I'm spanking Bleev.

You just got in the way. :P

[bleever]

46. I've got nothing to spank.

I worked my ass off this week. :)

[Berry Cool]

51. Then you should get some assless chaps.

Of course, chaps by definition are assless.

[Berry Cool]

47. Oh, OK.

Please don't let me interrupt you (she says, backing quickly out the door and turning her eyes away)...

[SeattleGirl]

43. I'M STILL HERE!

Sorry for not responding to all the responses to my seeing Mama and Rachel tomorrow; I'm on the phone with a friend.

:hi:

[bleever]

48. Please tell them

bleev says "hey".

[Berry Cool]

49. Oh sure...double dip with us, why don't you?

It can be a dangerous thing to drive distracted on the KOEB Highway!

[RevCheesehead]

5. Hi, Berry!

:hi: Hi, everyone!

I need your help. My telephone is out, and I can't call to see how Wolvie is doing. Would someone please give her a call?

[Berry Cool]

7. I will. I didn't call last night.

:hi: So I owe you both one.

Hi Rev!! :loveya:

[RevCheesehead]

9. Aww, thanks.

How ya doin' today, hon? :hug::loveya:

[Berry Cool]

Very well. I owe you a call too, but seeing as how your phone is out,

I should PM you instead to catch you up.

[RevCheesehead]

29. That would be fine.

I used up all my cell juice calling the phone company, trying to figure out why my landline isn't working. :grr:

If I didn't have to have the phone (for church), I'd trash it altogether and go cellular.

[Berry Cool]

35. As soon as I stop using dialup for my Internets, I'll dump my land line.

Right now, the Internets are the ONLY reason I still have it. That and it serves as my building intercom. But if I move...

Oh, and I want to see how you are, too!

[Botany]

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

Please don't tell the others. Some of them can be ....
well you know

Off to the pool ..... gotta get in shape ... our local radio station 1580 wvko
wants me to be on from 2-3 PM tomorrow .... they want to talk politics ...
I am going to use it to try to get a date. :rofl:


Wanna see what our next President looks like

[bleever]

21. You can't leave, they found Bigfoot!

We need to find out who he's voting for!

[Botany]

25. Female Sasquatch

[bleever]

27. No wonder their population is so low.

:rofl:

[Berry Cool]

28. Hope the pool is open tonight, Bot.

Mr. Big Radio Star. :rofl:

Just trying to pick up women, that's all...

Hey Bot, did you hear Rachel refer to "a Sherrod Brown, Jim Webb-type populist"? That's OUR boy she's talkin' about. :-)

[RevCheesehead]

30. I saw those last night and drooled all evening.

They want YOU on the phone?
Did you tell them you were busy at Gull Bay?

:hi:

[Botany]

34. Live and in studio

:rofl:

Hello caller .... I feel your needs .... do you like walks @ susnset :loveya:

[DU GrovelBot]

[bleever]

37. Cheers, Grovelbot!

[Berry Cool]

38. Grovelbot wants to be with the EDVs soooo badly.

Anyone ever notice, he only hijacks our threads during Countdown?

[RevCheesehead]

39. Maybe he's really a she...

and runs on EDV juice.

[ralps]

40. Yay For Woodstock!!!

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

[Berry Cool]

44. It's pretty sad when McGramps and Bush keep saying things that make you laugh with the irony.

You know, all those remarks about how it's just not the done thing in the 21st century to invade another country as a foreign policy tactic. :rofl:

Of course, rather than laugh, one could cry.

[Berry Cool]

50. I'm glad Countdown and progressive talk radio are going so vigorously after this idiot

who wrote "Obama Nation." They are discrediting him right and left--and having a hilarious time doing it.

"But my book HAS to be true. Look at all the FOOTNOTES in it."

Of course, half his footnotes are from his own writings and the other half are from wingnut books, TV shows and bloggers...but what the hey...

[bleever]

45. blogslut owned Corsi on the radio today!

:patriot:

[Berry Cool]

52. That's great!

People are realizing that shredding these jerks can actually be FUN. Can it be that Keith showed them the way?

[Berry Cool]

53. Why am I skeptical about these Bigfoot guys?

I keep expecting them to tell me I will also see fairies dancing on the lawn.

[Berry Cool]

54. Damn. Rachel didn't say "Keith will be back Monday."

I fear he is having his last hurrah before conventions. :cry:

[Patsy Stone]

58. AAARRRRGGGGHHHH!

So, I ended up stuck at the office until past 7:30, then I couldn't get home in the usual hour it takes because the streets for the last 5 miles of a 46 mile drive were packed with people driving 27 mph. When I do finally get home, just about nine, there's no internet connection at the house; and the cats have been on top of DH's dresser and knocked off a humidor, a boatload of ticket stubs, and various and sundry loose change and buttons. Fab-u-lous... NOT!

I'm drinking! Who's with me? :hi:

[SharonRB]

59. Me, me, me

I'm here for the repeat, even without KO.

I'm watching a fascinating hearing on don't ask, don't tell on the 'span. Props to Chris Shays, believe it or not. He's totally on the right side on this one.

[Patsy Stone]

60. I'm here, but watching the Olympics

I know, it was really all about me, but now there's another encapsualted moment of my life preserved forever in pixels.

:Hi:, Shar! Isn't you birthday any moment?

[SharonRB]

61. Not until two days after yours

I saw a perfect card for you months ago and bought it, but I don't have your address. PM it to me. You'll get it late because I probably won't get it out until Monday, but it'll be worth the wait.

Bettyellen's is tomorrow.

[Patsy Stone]

62. Aw, you

I thought yours was before mine, I don't know why. Anyone heard anything about Wolvie?

[SharonRB]

63. Not me

If no one said anything in the thread, probably not.

[Patsy Stone]

65. I was hoping someone would report back

I think it was Berry who said she would call her.

Are you still crazy busy at work?

[SharonRB]

66. Oh, I will be until November

Between that and working on two campaigns I won't have much of a life until after the election.

[AnnieBW]

64. WTF was with those Bigfoot Guys?

I mean, Rachel was acting very professional and NOT dissolving into peals of laughter on-camera. But I could just hear her... "Rhodes Scholar. PhD in Political Science. And I'm interviewing two yahoos that think they've caught Bigfoot!"
