[SharonRB]

1. Works for me!

I'm stuffed. We just picked up Chinese food, and I barely ate half of mine.

[Patsy Stone]

8. I'll take the other half. I'm starving.

:hi:

[SharonRB]

11. Come on over

I'll warm it up for you when you get here.

[Patsy Stone]

I found a little flan in the fridge. Yum.

[SharonRB]

46. You can bring dessert.

[Patsy Stone]

70. LOL! nt

[Patsy Stone]

2. Kit Bond

Please go away, and take Cheney with you.

"The CIA would never lie to members of Congress." :rofl:

[Berry Cool]

3. Happy Friday, and Shabbat Shazzam!

:hi: and I second that emotion, Pats!

SHUT. UP. DICK.

Oh, and the #1 reason for Keith, for why we can't lose Texas: we'd lose Wolvie. :cry:

[Patsy Stone]

6. Gov. Goodhair with the sombrero... LOL!

Here's to Jossip's demise: what took ya so long? :toast:

[SharonRB]

If so, they'll have time to go shopping (if you know what I mean).

[RevCheesehead]

51. ...

:fistbump:

:rofl:

[Berry Cool]

141. Har Har!!!!!

:rofl: Boom goes the dynamite!!

[RavensChick]

:hi:

[RavensChick]

65. Jossip, we knew ye too damn much!

Good riddance, I say!

Hi, Pats!!!

:hi:

[SharonRB]

75. This is what you get when you go there

:rofl:

[Berry Cool]

142. They're "on pause"

just like Ted Williams' head. :rofl:

[SeattleGirl]

13. Hi Berry!

:hi:

[Berry Cool]

31. Hi SG!!!

Happy Friday! :hi:

[WolverineDG]

17. NO SHIT SHERLOCK

Don't mess with Texas, Keith. :grr:

dg

[RevCheesehead]

42. On the other hand, we'd get rid of Tom Delay - finally.

:hide:


;) :hi: :loveya:

[Berry Cool]

143. "Tom Delay Extermination School"

What a football team they must have!!

[SeattleGirl]

4. Shalom Shabbot, Patsy! Have a drink!

http://www.squaremeal.co.uk/include/images/content/46/[e-mail]

:hi: :toast:

[SharonRB]

7. I'll take one of those pink ones in the middle

Thanks!

:hi:

[SeattleGirl]

10. As you wish! Clinkies!

:toast:

[Patsy Stone]

12. Thanks!

I'll take the one in the rocks glass. :hi:

[SeattleGirl]

14. Thought you'd pick that one!

:hi:

[Patsy Stone]

19. One thing I've learned

Shorter glasses aren't as easy to spill on myself.

[SeattleGirl]

20. Ha!

[RevCheesehead]

54. Is that cucumbers I see in the 2nd from the right?

Pass it over and let me taste it!

[SeattleGirl]

56. Not sure. Could be; either that, or lime slices!

Salute! :toast:

[RevCheesehead]

58. I'm gonna pretend it's cucumbers and drink healthy.

A girl needs her veggies. :beer:

[SeattleGirl]

59. And what better way to get them?

:beer:

[RevCheesehead]

61. Oh,...

I can think of a few - can't you? :rofl:

[SeattleGirl]

63. Damn, Rev! I nearly spit my piece of candy out!

:rofl:

[RevCheesehead]

71. Thank you

for adding those two important words: "of candy". :evilgrin:

[SeattleGirl]

72. Now cut that out!

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[Patsy Stone]

67. That's the one I chose

I told myself it's some version of a Pimm's Cup, only because I want one. But it's the wrong color.

[RevCheesehead]

77. Oh, now it looks like a sliced lime, rather than wedges.

So much for my cucumber fantasy. :(

[SeattleGirl]

80. Far be it from me to interrupt any cucumber fantasies you may be

having, dear Rev!

:evilgrin:

[RevCheesehead]

84. Haven't you noticed?

It's Spring. (where's the smiley for sexual frustration?)

[SeattleGirl]

91. I don't know, but I sure could use one!

[Berry Cool]

145. Oh my goodness!

We really DO have to plan that KOEB Get-Together, so we can do this in person!!!

[RavensChick]

151. Name the place and I'll be there!!

As an option, if y'all want to head near DC, let me know. We can really cut loose then!!!!!!

:evilgrin:

[RavensChick]

73. Hey, SG!

I'll take the Mojito if there's any left! Happy Friday!

:hi:

[SeattleGirl]

76. I have an endless drink supply!

:toast:

[RavensChick]

93. Thanks!

:beer:

[WolverineDG]

5. It's Friday at last!

:hi: :toast:

dg

[Patsy Stone]

15. Amen, sister.

This one was at least a week and a half long.

:hi: :toast:

[SharonRB]

22. Did you hear Randi screw up today?

I was listening to the first hour of the show before Countdown and she announced that the CA Supreme Court had overturned Prop 8. I wondered how I got through the whole day without hearing anything about it. Then, about 10 minutes later she said "Oops. Didn't happen." Someone sent her a year-old article from last year when they first ruled gay marriage legal. Guess she should have checked more than one source. So much for the Queen of knowledge. :rofl:

[SeattleGirl]

23. Yep, heard that. Someone also posted it on DU this morning.

Gotta watch those dates!

[ralps]

25. Hi SharonRB, Oh My! I haven't listened to Randi since she came back & I Miss Nancy!

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

[SharonRB]

26. I'm only listening to see if she says anything about Nancy

I miss her on the radio, too.

The other day someone called in and started talking about Nancy being awful and trying to steer people to the right. Did Randi play it with class and stick up for her? Of course not. All she could say was "Well, she's a politician." I was pissed!

[WolverineDG]

30. Are you kidding?

After Nancy said nothing but nice things about her? FUCK RANDI!

dg

on edit: the Randi Rhodes Crash & Burn pool is now open.....

[SharonRB]

33. My sentiments exactly

She has no class. Nancy is classy.

[Berry Cool]

55. Typical Randi, I'm afraid to say.

I could listen to her on the same XM channel that runs Glenn Beck. But I'm not all that tempted to.

[WolverineDG]

27. Bonk less, research more

:rofl:

dg

[SharonRB]

28. LOL

:rofl:

Good one! And research doesn't cause chafing.

[WolverineDG]

or UTIs nt

[Berry Cool]

130. Oh...

:spank: :rofl:

[Patsy Stone]

52. No!

Oh, dear... LOL!

I feel sorry for those bummed out people who thought it was true for a few glorious minutes.

[SeattleGirl]

16. Hi Wolvie!

Happy Friday! :hi: :toast:

[ralps]

9. Hi Patsy! Hi Everyone!

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

[SeattleGirl]

18. Hi ralps!

Cool! Hula kitty! :hi:

[ralps]

21. Hi SeattleGirl!!!

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

[RevCheesehead]

96. Hi ralps!

How are you and Crook doing today?
We're good, if not clingy (see downthread). :hi: :hug:

[ralps]

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

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

[Berry Cool]

34. Even Grovelbot had to join in the fun. Sorry, no drinks for him.

Something occurred to me: today would have been Keith's parents' 60th wedding anniversary, had his mother lived.

It is also Dan Patrick's birthday.

Sincerest clinkies (with the other pink drink) to both. :toast:

[RavensChick]

85. Aw!

That makes me think of my parents. The last anniversary they had was 24 years together, six months before my mom passed. My dad never got over that and he died 7 years after she did. I salute them and Keith's parents as well, very sincerely!

Btw, Happy B-Day, Danny!!!!

:hi:

[RevCheesehead]

99. Oh, sure - NOW you have the laptop.

Where were you last week when Patsy needed one??? :grr:

[Berry Cool]

129. Grovelbot is a week late trying to butter up Pats.

Timing is everything, my friend.

[Patsy Stone]

133. He comes over all the time; I can't get rid of him.

[RevCheesehead]

138. You and the Swiffer lady should file stalking charges.

Is that a real laptop, or is Grovel just selling off spare parts?

[Berry Cool]

146. How good is Grovelbot at singing "Baby Come Back" and "Don't You Want Me Baby"?

Or does he have even a broader repertoire? Maybe "Hello It's Me"?

[Patsy Stone]

148. LOL

All I can think of are those filthy mops.

[SharonRB]

35. Go back in your bunker, Dick! n/t

[SeattleGirl]

37. If I were a Republican speaking out against DICK, I'd be afraid to

do it on the record too. Darth Cheney has many strings to pull to get things "taken care of", I do believe.

[SharonRB]

36. They're not speaking because

they don't want to get shot in the face.

[SeattleGirl]

39. At the very least!

[RevCheesehead]

38. Hi, I'm here!

Had to pry myself out from under a cat. CC is clingy and needy today.
:hi:

[SeattleGirl]

44. REV!!!!

So good to see you! I brought drinks. They're upthread!

:hi: :loveya: :hug: :toast:

[RevCheesehead]

48. Thanks!

I haven't gotten there yet. Had to give Wolvie a hard time. :evilgrin:

:hi: :loveya:

[SharonRB]

50. Hi, Rev

:hi:

[RevCheesehead]

64. Hi Sharon!

How ya doing? Did you survive Mother's Day? I was thinking of you, and SG and Berry, and all who might have had a tough time. :hug:

[SharonRB]

68. I made it through.

Thanks for thinking of me. It was a rough day.

[RevCheesehead]

79. I understand.

:hug:

[Berry Cool]

74. I made it. Visited the gravesite, which I don't do often, but I like to sometimes.

Of course, I don't think of her as being there, but it's a good place to talk to her, and it needs occasional tending.

[RevCheesehead]

83. I hear ya.

My mom's ashes are in a columbarium; actually it's also a bell tower. Whenever I'm in town, I stop in for a nice talk.
Sometimes I just pick up the phone without turning it on, and have a chat.

To our Moms: :toast: :loveya: :hug::hug::hug:

[SeattleGirl]

87. You just gave me goosebumps, Rev.

I hadn't thought of doing that, yet many times, I've thought, "Oh, I need to call mom and tell her about such and such!"

I do have a chat with her when I go visit my sister; she has mom's ashes at her house.

And indeed, to our moms: :toast: :loveya: :hug: :hug:

[RevCheesehead]

90. Oddly enough, it really made me feel better.

Just holding the phone to my ear and talking.
Of course, it would have sucked if it rang while I was doing that.... or been kind of eerie. :)

[SeattleGirl]

95. Oh, I know it had to make you feel better.

I do when I talk to my mom.

[Berry Cool]

132. I third that emotion.

:toast: :loveya: :hug: :hug:

[Patsy Stone]

57. Hi!

I kinda like it when they get like that. But then the thrill wears off quite quickly.

Happy Friday, Rev! :toast:

[RevCheesehead]

88. Earlier, they wanted nothing to do with me.

I asked him if he was indeed a cat, and loved me only on cat terms. Since then, he's been clingy. It's my own fault! :eyes: :)
:hi:

[Berry Cool]

69. Hi Rev! Glad to see ya!

:hi: I know how CC is feeling.

[RevCheesehead]

94. Huh??

Are YOU wanting to cling to me too? :scared:

;)

[Berry Cool]

134. Nah, don't worry.

I had Keith more in mind. And not Keith the cat. :evilgrin:

[SharonRB]

41. Dick has no principles.

[SeattleGirl]

49. He also has no heart or soul, but then, you already knew that!

What an evil, evil man!

[bleever]

47. Cheney only cares about his own sorry butt.

Everyone else can go to hell, as far as he's concerned. He'll even make the travel arrangements for some people.

:hi:

[SeattleGirl]

53. Hi bleev!

Yep, though I bet he'll have his "girl" make the arrangements. That would be far too mundane for Cheney. He'll be standing by in Hell Central, whip in hand, ready to continue torturing.

[bleever]

89. That Liz Cheney is a piece of work.

Seems like a perfect blend of her parents' personalities.

:scared:

[Patsy Stone]

81. I think he's the head of SPECTRE

:hi:

[bleever]

98. He is not a good man.

He is a bad man. A very bad man.

[RevCheesehead]

103. Would that be his "undisclosed location"?

That would explain a lot - seriously!
:hi:

[RavensChick]

60. I agree. This situation is getting way out of hand!

Happy Friday, everyone!!!!!

:hi:

[SeattleGirl]

62. Hi RC!

Happy Friday! :toast:

[Berry Cool]

78. Yeah, RC!

:hi: Hope you are enjoying!

[RavensChick]

101. After the week I had, I'm gonna enjoy it all the more!!!

:hi:

[SeattleGirl]

82. The problem, dear Keith, with Obama going to Notre Dame is that......

he's BLACK!!!!!

That's my take on it, anyway. Assholes protesting his commencement address are the worst kinds of hypocrites!

[SharonRB]

86. They didn't seem to have a problem with Clinton and Carter

even though they were pro-choice, so, yeah, you're right.

[Berry Cool]

92. But they don't have a problem with a black football player, do they?

Doesn't matter what color his skin is then, so long as he scores for Touchdown Jesus. Right??

[SeattleGirl]

97. You got it. Those "colored" people need to stay on the field

where they belong! Only time they should be allowed in the big house is to serve dinner to the white folks. :grr:

[RevCheesehead]

108. I saw one of their protest signs on TV earlier.

"Would you invite Pilate after he sentenced Jesus?"
Yeah, asshats. Read your Bible. Pilate handed him several times to his own people, who demanded he be killed.
Blame begins at home. Biblical idiots. :eyes:

[SeattleGirl]

111. Amazing how completely idiotic all those "Christians" really are,

isn't it?

[RevCheesehead]

119. Those assholes make my job that much harder.

Those assholes are like the troublemakers in my church, and a primary reason for me walking away. :grr:

[SeattleGirl]

121. Sometimes I wish Jesus would come back, just for a few moments,

to go all nutso on them like in the money changer's temple!

[RevCheesehead]

123. Sometimes...

I just want him to kick their asses.

[SeattleGirl]

125. Yep

They make a mockery of him every single day

[Berry Cool]

135. That's got to be one of my favorite Bible stories.

One time when Jesus gets righteously pissed.

[SeattleGirl]

136. It's one of my faves too.

I'd love to see the havoc he could wreck on the lives of the money changers on Wall Street!

[RavensChick]

128. And the church says, AMEN!!

They are so blindsighted it's sad to us true believers!

But, with this being graduation season the teabaggers need a place to gather while seeing their (obviously) embarrassed children geting their degrees.

[RavensChick]

114. I hope their football team has a very long season!

Luck of the Irish, my ass! That school is an insult to all Americans, to be honest!

[Berry Cool]

137. Now now, RC, don't insult Rudy that way.

[RavensChick]

144. He's the exception.

Besides, he would be ashamed if he lived to see the hypocrites gathering for this event. Trust me, they may have the right to speak but we certainly have the right not to listen to their RW garbage.

[Berry Cool]

147. Oh, I'm with you on that.

But the world would be poorer without Dan Patrick's great imitation of Lou Holtz, for one thing. You know, about how the opposing team puts on its pants one leg at a time like everyone else.

[RavensChick]

152. Good point.

When Lou Holtz imitates Lou Holtz I shake my head and laugh! Every season of College Football Today on ESPN has been getting better and better with his snark! He's a laugh riot sometimes!

[SeattleGirl]

100. "Runner up, to Skeesix"

:rofl:

[Patsy Stone]

107. Skeesix

:rofl:

[Berry Cool]

109. I love it when he calls people "Skeezix."

:rofl:

Oh, and the "fecal matter" he refers to on Gawker is the fact that rather than abandoning the stupid Cityfile crap story about him, they are defending it...at length...AND their Sekret Inside MSNBC Source (who, if I were him, well, I'd be buffing up my resume about now...I think Keith has more clout around that network than some nobody...but anyway). They are defending this thing like they're going to win a friggin' Pulitzer for investigative reporting for it. Like they are effing Woodward & Bernstein for bringing this truth to the American people.

They are asswipes. And fortunately, most of the comments they are getting on the story are echoing that very sentiment.

[RevCheesehead]

115. It's gotta be Moaning Joe.

He's one bitter little man.

[Patsy Stone]

118. FOX and Friends is actually more enjoyable then Morning RW Talking Points.

Not kidding.

[RavensChick]

139. Who else could it be?

Bitter is too polite a word. I say he's the most repulsive, anal, arrogant bastard to ever walk this earth! (And that's me being nice in describing him, sadly.)

[SeattleGirl]

117. Maybe they'll win the "Putz-iter" Prize!

:rofl:

[RavensChick]

153. True dat!

And hand them a lovely gold chalice filled with dog piss as an extra bonus!

[SharonRB]

102. DUzys are out -- and a bunch of us won

in Bleever's thread about naming Palin's book. There were two threads to name the book that both won.

Congrats, everyone!

[bleever]

131. Zowie - I got six mentions in the DUzys.

I'm practically the Mark Spitz of spit-takes.

[ralps]

104. Today's worst person in the world is Micheal Savage! for appealing to Hillary Clinton

to get his name off Britian's No Entry list!! LOL :hi: :loveya: :hug: :pals: :woohoo: :rofl:

[SeattleGirl]

106. That absolutely cracks me up!

[Patsy Stone]

110. Totally O/T: Who's watching The Real Housewives of New Jersey?

It's like candy.

[WolverineDG]

122. I'm having to cut myself off

the housewives of NYC were just too horrid. Am I going to hell for :rofl: when "the countess" said she's getting a divorce?

dg

[Patsy Stone]

127. This is five different versions of Adrianna

Three of them are related, one of them is just a friend, and the other is a lunatic. I didn't watch NY. I needed a break after Atlanta. :)

[WolverineDG]

150. oh that one was a train wreck nt

[Berry Cool]

140. I'm waiting for The Real Housewives of South Euclid.

Along with The Real Housewives of Ashtabula.

[RavensChick]

155. Come to think of it,

I wonder when they're gonna have the real housewives of DC or Philly? With so much happening in both cities it's hard to narrow it down I guess.

[RavensChick]

154. I plan on watching it when they show the premiere again.

I hope they're better than the NYC wives. They were way too much high maintenance for me this year, but the wives of Atlanta is a big time train wreck. I saw only the season finale and I was appalled, let alone embarrassed so that was enough for me.

[Patsy Stone]

112. Governor Asshat?

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

[bleever]

116. .

[SeattleGirl]

120. That was a riot!

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[WolverineDG]

124. Oh Keith, you should have caled him Governor Goodhair

:rofl:

dg

[RavensChick]

156. Yes, he went there!!!

You know it's Friday when Keith actually remembers he's on CABLE!!

:headbang:

[bleever]

113. Gov. Asshat!

:rofl:

[Berry Cool]

126. Rachel: We'll save Texas barbecue first.

And Wolvie.

Wow, for the first time tonight they fixed Keith's sound for the throw to her. He no longer sounds like he's doing his show from the bottom of a well when they make the transition.

Happy weekend, all! :hi:

[GigiMommy]

149. MAN! I missed the party AGAIN.

My Nephew wanted Cassie to see "Monsters VS Aliens". Oh well, will catch the 10 o'clock show. Happy Friday and weekend everyone! :hi: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce:
