[RavensChick]

[Patsy Stone]

6. Hi, RC!

:hi:

[RavensChick]

Hi, Pats!

Lovely where you are, I'm sure. I had to deal with snow, sleet, and freezing rain all day! It's gonna get worse tonight.

[WolverineDG]

18. Hey RC!!

:hi:

dg

[RavensChick]

39. Hi, Wolvie!

How's it in Texas? It's freezing and snowing up here!

:hi:

[WolverineDG]

48. It's getting cold here again too

it was 80 today. :scared:

:hi:

dg

[RavensChick]

68. Wow!

Spring is on the way! Spring is on the way! Spring is on the way! (The more you say it the better you can get through the chill)

[Patsy Stone]

2. Nice handle!

Happy birthday, KO! :party::loveya:

[RavensChick]

3. I love it!!

:hi:

[Berry Cool]

8. Glad you do!

I had to watch a tape of last Friday's show after the fact, but when I saw the last story on Obama and his BlackBerry and a chyron that said "BERRY COOL," I knew I had it.

I didn't want to date myself again by calling myself BarackBerry or something like that, so I went with Berry Cool. After all, Obama does "keep it cool," right?

:hi: all!

[SharonRB]

4. Happy birthday,Keith!

And you new name is very cool!

[Patsy Stone]

9. What do you think Boehner's ring around the collar looks like?

Does Eric Cantor realize he's being played by Obama? Give 'em enough rope...

[SharonRB]

14. Probably about the same color as his "tan."

:hi:

[Berry Cool]

10. Glad you think so!

:hi: Hi Sha-Sha!! Welcome to Super Bowl Keith!!

This is what 50 looks like!!

[SharonRB]

15. I knew what 50 looked like a looooong time ago.

:hi:

[Berry Cool]

55. Ah, but you didn't have to ADMIT it.

:-)

[RavensChick]

17. Hi, Sharon!

It fits like a glove on a very cold day! How bad is it 'round your way?

:hi:

[SharonRB]

21. Very cold

and we're getting more snow tonight and tomorrow. Then I'm off to Dallas for a couple of days.

[RavensChick]

45. Lucky you!

Same for me and the rest of the DC area. It's gonna be worse tomorrow for me. Hopefully OPM will do me and all the other Federal workers a favor and tell us to stay home!

[Berry Cool]

58. Good for you.

If there's a really bad storm tonight, I'm working from home.

[SharonRB]

61. I really have to go in tomorrow.

We're only supposed to get 1-3 tonight and another 1-3 tomorrow, so hopefully morning drive time won't be too bad.

[Berry Cool]

72. Meanwhile, on the other side of Lake Erie...

...it's supposed to be PHWOOOM. :scared:

[RavensChick]

96. East of the mountains it's downright COLD!

I hate to say this, but February is gonna be worse if the weather pundits are correct.

:scared:

[GigiMommy]

67. Oh great! Driving on Telegraph today was SOOOO much fun.

Driving on ICE!:scared:

[SharonRB]

70. I didn't have any trouble today.

I took an alternate route to work because it sounded like there were problems on my regular route.

[RavensChick]

73. Oh, no!

Ice, ice baby! It's just as bad walking in it. I found out the hard way many years ago when I was younger. Since then, I take my time!

[Patsy Stone]

5. Ah, Republican hypocrisy in full effect.

:puke:

[RavensChick]

20. Sadly, it's only the beginning.

:grr:

[Patsy Stone]

49. Obama is an excellent chess player

This might be a whole lot of fun to watch. :)

[bleever]

7. Happy Birthday, Keef!

Truly sir, thou doth rock.

:party:

[RevCheesehead]

11. I'm so glad I can still call you Berry!

:hi: Hi everyone!

And for the birthday dude: :party::loveya::party:

[RavensChick]

23. Rev!!!!

He made it to 50 so that's a true blessing!

:hi:

[RevCheesehead]

27. Not only that...

but he made it alive through the last eight years. Whew!

:hi:

[RavensChick]

47. Amen!

With the way the country was going I thought at one point during his earlier Special Comments he was gonna lose it! But poised and professional as he is, he pulled back some.

[Botany]

62. did I ever tell you that you are my Fav?

Please don't tell the others

[RevCheesehead]

64. I'll keep it to myself...

and cherish it always. :loveya::hug:

Hiya Cuddles! :hi:

[Berry Cool]

75. You'll ALWAYS be able to call me Berry, Rev.

:hi: :hug:

And Keith will always be able to call me his love...if he WANTS to. :grr:

[Patsy Stone]

12. Again with the Everlasting GOP Stoppers caption

It's still funny, but it was funnier last night.

[bleever]

Talk about Wonkish humor.

:hi:

[Patsy Stone]

26. They're more like vermicious knids

if you're askin' me.

:hi:

[CBHagman]

146. I love that too.

The "snot knocking" comments were also a nice (?) touch...

:rofl:

[Patsy Stone]

148. Y'know...

It was the second time today I'd heard that phrase, too. The first was on Marketplace on NPR when they were discussing the Ulitmate Fighting Championship's popularity. The BS in Congress is almost the same, IMO.

:hi:

[WolverineDG]

13. NO NO NO GO CHANGE YOUR NAME AGAIN

:grr: :grr: :grr:

KOOSberry is SO much better than "Berry Cool." :derisive snort:

Happy Birthday, Keith! You're now an antique!!

:hi:

dg

[SharonRB]

19. Hey!

I resemble that remark. What does that make me?

:hi:

[RevCheesehead]

22. A collectible?

Definitely a keeper! :hi:

[SharonRB]

24. Thanks, Rev

:hi:

I'm so tired tonight, I don't feel like a keeper.

[RevCheesehead]

32. That's OK.

Antiques need to be handled carefully. :hide:

[SharonRB]

34. Now you've gone and done it.

[WolverineDG]

28. A one of a kind friend anyone would love to have!

:loveya:

:hi:

dg

[SharonRB]

31. Okay

You vindicated yourself.

[RevCheesehead]

35. I was gonna ask her what she wants.

I'm more suspicious than you. :)

[SharonRB]

38. I'm too exhausted to be suspicious.

I'll let you do it for me.

[RevCheesehead]

43. work?

Or is something else wearing you down? :hug:

[SharonRB]

46. Not work, I don't think.

I think I'm just sick of the snow and the cold. I came home and was too tired to do anything -- I was going to exercise, but just didn't feel like it.

[RavensChick]

50. I'm sick of it too.

It's lovely to look at but it's rough when you have to travel in it. Already there were fender benders and near misses in my neighborhood and near the main highway, and that was during non-rush hour, according to a friend of mine who drives a taxi 'round my way.

[Berry Cool]

80. Yeah, too bad we have three more months of it to go!

More like three and a half in this part of the country!

[Berry Cool]

78. Wolfie...you do realize...it's too late??

You can call me KOOSBerry if you want to. :hi:

[WolverineDG]

82. No it's not

you have until the 31st. :cry:

Here I went to all the trouble to come up with a good name for you like you asked & :harumph: you don't use it. :cry: :cry: :cry:

dg

[Berry Cool]

122. But...but...KEITH gave me this one.

What to do, what to do????? :shrug:

And I'm sorry, but no, I don't have until the 31st. We can't just change our names and change 'em and change 'em until the 31st. We only get to change once. I'm done. I can't change again.

I'm sorry, I didn't mean it personally! I just thought KOOSBerry was like labeling myself permanently as "that nutty KO fangirl."

And I know that's what everyone thinks I am, but...

...Know what I mean?

[RavensChick]

133. Still, I love the new name

'cause it shows that even in the dullest of moments Keith can still think of you (we all know he sure as hell won't admit it) and give us the KOOS when the mood strikes!!

So, take comfort in the fact that BerryCool is the perfect fit! Besides, I was gonna change mine to Full Figured Sexy Cool, but I have a feeling that's taken, so RavensChick works for me.

:evilgrin:

[ralps]

16. Hi Berry Cool, Hi Everyone! Happy Birthday Keith

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

[Patsy Stone]

36. Hi, ralps!

Meow, Crook!

[ralps]

41. Hi Patsy! & Crook says Meow back

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

[Patsy Stone]

51. Give him some of these for me.

[RavensChick]

52. Hi, Ralps!!

:hi:

[ralps]

Hi RavensChick!

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

[Berry Cool]

83. Hi ralps!

And Meow to Crook!

[SharonRB]

25. Thom!

:loveya:

[GigiMommy]

37. Hi Sharon! THOM!!!

:hi:

[SharonRB]

40. Hi, Gigi

:hi:

[ralps]

29. Yay for Thom Hartmann

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

[Patsy Stone]

30. Hi, Thom Hartmann!

:loveya:

[Berry Cool]

54. Do you think Thom might get his own MSNBC show?

I wonder if this is a hint.

[Patsy Stone]

59. That would be so cool

So cool.

[ralps]

I really hope he does! Maybe after Rachel's show!

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

[GigiMommy]

33. Hi All!!! Happy Birthday Keith (A Fellow January Baby)!!!

:hi: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :party: :party: :party: :party: :party: :party: :party: :party: :party: :party: :party: :party: :party: :party: :party: :party: :party: :party: :party: :party:


THANKS HOWARD, GO STEELERS!!!!!

[RavensChick]

53. Hi, Gigi!!!

:hi:

[GigiMommy]

84. Hi Raven!!!

:hi: :bounce: Doing two things at once (Watching Keith & iChatting with Hubby in Australia). Temp. is a balmy 99 degrees.

[RavensChick]

98. Now that's multi-tasking!

:hi:

[Berry Cool]

86. Hi GGM!

And Cassie too!! :hi:

Go Steelers...Away!!!!! :rofl:

[GigiMommy]

104. Hi Berry!!!

:hi: :bounce:

[WolverineDG]

42. Nationalizing the banks

why the fuck not?

dg

[Patsy Stone]

57. Because that might actually work

and the last thing the Republicans want is success.

Hey, did you hear Steph this morning? She was playing Keith, from his C-SPAN appearance, saying her name over and over? LOL!

:hi:

[SharonRB]

60. I heard it

I also saw his interview -- most of it. I switched to Prayers for Bobby when they started taking questions from the audience.

[Patsy Stone]

63. I missed the show

but I'm going to look for it on C-SPAN's website later.

[Berry Cool]

127. There was an AUDIENCE?????

What the hell??? Why is Keith doing all these personal appearances all of a sudden??? And nowhere near me????

How come he's in Tampa now, getting a tan, and I'm freezing in Ohio????

[RavensChick]

136. What?!?!?!

Now I know I wish I was there instead of freezing my ass off!


:grr:

[Berry Cool]

88. I did!

I guess he was saying that years from now, people just won't believe Sarah Palin ever ran for vice president--just like they'll NEVER believe Stephanie Miller's dad ran! (I gather he must've just figured out that yes, she is "that" Miller! Don't feel bad, Keith--I too found it hard to believe that Steph also was known to me in a previous life as "Sister Sleaze"!)

[Patsy Stone]

93. "He loves me; he wants to date me!"

:rofl:

[GigiMommy]

44. HEY BERRY COOL!!!!

I LOVE YOUR NAME!!! :loveya: :loveya: :loveya:

[Berry Cool]

89. I'm glad YOU do!

:rofl:

[Botany]

56. Steve Clemmons = Clint Square Jaw

Where did they get that guy? Central Casting?

BTW Obama, Hillary, and Mitchell = adults are back in charge.

[bleever]

76. Hey,

Was Steph referring to you on Tuesday when she read a story from Tommy in Columbus? Or is she two-timing you?

[Botany]

87. That would be me

I am suprised because most of the time she doesn't give me credit

Mitch McChinless is mine too.

[bleever]

113. You'll always be Buddy to me,

buddy.

[Patsy Stone]

65. Hello to everyone I haven't spoken to yet.

How's it hangin'?

:hi:

[Berry Cool]

91. It's hangin' all right

and Keith even mentioned his own birthday!

[Botany]

94. You never told me that I am your Fav

:cry:

BTW 10' of snow tomorrow ... a week & half ago we hit neg. 14

[SharonRB]

95. 10'?

Or did you mean 10"?

I don't feel so bad now.

[Botany]

99. Guess I didn't hit the right shit key

:rofl:

10"

[SharonRB]

100. Shit key?

:rofl:

[Patsy Stone]

110. Typo of the day!

:rofl:

[Patsy Stone]

107. Men

are always very liberal with the estimation of the size of things.

[RavensChick]

129. Tell me about it.

[Patsy Stone]

103. You already knew that.

But if you'd like to hear it again, meet me at Taco Bell. :hi:

[Berry Cool]

111. But don't you already know?

And yes, I'm sure we WILL get lots of inches. :evilgrin:

[GigiMommy]

114. Hi Patsy!!!

:hi: :bounce:

[Patsy Stone]

116. Hi, GG!

At least your hubby is warm. :(

[SharonRB]

66. As soon as I saw "turkey" I knew that clip was coming

:rofl:

[SharonRB]

69. Karl thinks Barack will help him get out of the subpoena?

:rofl:

Yeah, right. Good luck with that, Kkkarl!

[Berry Cool]

71. Awwww...

...rest in peace, Nathan Kay!!!!! :cry:

He died watching Keith...he died happy!!

[RavensChick]

81. Prayers for the family.

Bless his soul.

[RavensChick]

92. He can't get out of it this time!!

Send his ass the Da Big House NOW!!!!!

[Patsy Stone]

74. GD Keith birthday thread:

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=389x4924288

[Berry Cool]

97. Ahem... *cough* *cough*

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=389x4919389

Of course, I have no idea who started this thread. Some character named BerryBush.

[Patsy Stone]

101. I left my good wishes

in that weird BerryBush's thread -- whoever that was. I just thought it was nice that you weren't the only one. :)

[Berry Cool]

130. Good girl!

[WolverineDG]

108. No, the OP Is "Berry Cool"

whoever that is...

:(

dg

[Patsy Stone]

77. Why is there a Raiders logo behind Keith?

Is there one for each team, or did I miss the fact that they're in the Super Bowl? :)

ed: Seems I'm not the only one wondering: http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=389&topic_id=4924228&mesg_id=4924228

[SharonRB]

79. I know how they'll respond

:rofl:

[Patsy Stone]

85. I'll just call you "Miss Clio"

:rofl:

[Botany]

90. Stop this crap now

Rove needs in jail.

[Berry Cool]

106. Yah, I believe we should save Gitmo for him and the other government crooks.

Put it to good use.

[RavensChick]

112. VERY good use!

If you watch Lockup or OZ, then it's self-explanatory. At least the property won't go to waste!

[ralps]

102. Today's worst person in the world is Bernard Goldberg!!

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

[Patsy Stone]

105. There was no way that POS Bernard Goldberg

wasn't going to be WPITW tonight. What an a-hole. :puke:

[Berry Cool]

109. Don't hold back, Keith, tell us how you really feel about him!

That was excellent flamage!

[Patsy Stone]

115. "Jumped the shark

means you emerged in one piece on the other side." :rofl:

[bleever]

120. He was on Hannity last night,

a show that has turned into something that makes Romper Room look like 60 Minutes. You have to check it out, in very tiny chunks, to see how baaaaaaad it is.

[Patsy Stone]

124. The clips on Steph are quite enough thanks.

It's very funny when they play something with the screaching loud music behind Sean's frenetic talking point spewing.

Look, here's crazy, now on Rachel.

[Patsy Stone]

117. Keith

you need to lay off the carbs, my dear. Just some friendly advice.

[SharonRB]

118. Seriously!

When he's behind the desk with his jacket on you can't tell so much.

[Patsy Stone]

123. Are Rachel and Blago really, really pink on your TV too?

Wow. They both look like they just ran up the stairs.

After this lunatic's interview, I'm going to watch AI. Shhhh. Don't tell.

[SharonRB]

126. They do look pretty pink.

I'm off to bed when they're done. I gave up AI.

[Patsy Stone]

128. You are much better than I

I can't quit it. :)

[SharonRB]

131. I don't think I've watched since Daughtrey was voted off.

[Berry Cool]

134. Which reminds me

When will we get the Princess back? Soon, I hope, after Keith returns to New York.

[Patsy Stone]

142. I'm quite surprised

she hasn't been on yet. I wonder why?

[Berry Cool]

132. Is this a response to the rear view of Keith's butt?

:rofl: He did mention once that United Van Lines could bring you not only the Dan Patrick Show, but his rear end.

Of course, he doesn't care. He has a hot 25-year-old girlfriend who loves his fat butt--or, at least, the part of his fat butt covered in leather, tucked in his pocket. If he ever loses THAT weight...well...perhaps she will no longer be so strongly attracted.

[RavensChick]

139. One can only hope, Berry.

Then again, seeing him in leather would startle me, and not in a good way.

[GigiMommy]

137. ...

:rofl:

[RavensChick]

138. You got that right!

Walking is the best exercise! I do it every day (not in the snow and ice, obviously), and I feel great every time!

But as he was going into the tunnel, I love that sexy swagger he was doing! Meow!!!

;-)

[SharonRB]

119. I want to go to sleep

But I want to see Rachel with Blago. He never ceases to entertain. Maybe I'll watch in bed.

[SharonRB]

121. Oh, it's first.

I guess I can wait.

[Patsy Stone]

125. He, very simply, rocks.

Crazy, party of one? Your table is ready.

[Botany]

135. Steph loves Blago

He is out and out bat shit crazy .... the boy is talking himself into a jail cell.

[Patsy Stone]

141. It's really a train wreck

and I simply can not look away. :popcorn:

[Botany]

144. I should be in bed

snow work @ 4:00 AM

but Blago is soooooooooooooo fucking nutz
he was just trying to save the Chicago Cubs

[Patsy Stone]

147. Please! Won't *somebody* think of the Chicago Cubs???

:rofl:

[RavensChick]

140. LOLOL!

It's like watching a train wreck, but amusing.

[Patsy Stone]

143. GMTA

I can't turn it off. I was so upset I had to work yesterday; nothing would have made me happier than to have had the time to follow him around the dial.

[Botany]

145. quick his head squirrel has gotten away
