LOEB Meeting: 12/21/09 -- Let's Not Talk About HCR, Okay? Edition

[Patsy Stone]

:hi:, everyone!



Of all the moments of insanity here at DU this past week, the moment that made me rethink how I spend my time was when they went after the dog. The dog. :eyes: http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=389&topic_id=7280899&mesg_id=7280899

[RevCheesehead]

1. It stuns me to see there's a deleted sub-thread in that post.

What was it? Purina vs. Iams? :banghead:

I opted for the inane:

:hi:

[Botany]

7. did I ever tell you that you are my Fave?

or that DU has zero since of humor anymore

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=433x83100

I want to post to those m.f.ers that I worked from 5:30 AM to 10:00PM in an all black
precinct and made sure many many votes were counted last november (08)

[RevCheesehead]

10. You got a locked post over ponies and cheesecake?

We have entered the clueless zone. :eyes:

BTW, how is Fluebee the wonder-lab doing?

[Botany]

18. I guess the "p-word" is not to be said on DU anymore

Whatever happened to the sense to DU's sense of humor?


Flubie is doing fine ..... I am broke but he runs like a champ and is my son's best buddy .... mine too.

I went to party on 12/19 @ his kennel .... the women who runs it asked her husband if she could
trade him in on a younger model (me) ... he laughed and said fine ..... i asked if i could have his
dogs (2 labs & Doberman) and his fly rod .... he said the wife yes but his dogs no ........ :rofl:

[Patsy Stone]

27. Zero

I found some nice people in the Barack Obama Group, though. :hi:, SG -- wherever you are! Better for the blood pressure.

[WolverineDG]

40. DU has zero tolerance for logic & rational thought

but then, only the atheists & agnostics are rational & logic. Those of us who believe in God are idiots. :eyes:

dg

[Berry Cool]

11. I just added my thoughts to that. I am on a passel of new meds because I got worse Sat. morning.

And they ALL have childproof caps. I just should have asked for easy-opens. "Please. I live alone, and my cats lack opposable thumbs. Honest."

[RevCheesehead]

16. I am really sorry to hear your health got worse.

Are your ears plugged up again? :hug:

[Berry Cool]

21. No, but they're not completely un-plugged either.

And I woke up at 6 on Saturday morning hacking and wheezing and unable to talk. So back to the doc in the box I went.

I am now on a THIRD antibiotic (still free, thank God), prednisone, codeine cough syrup (when I need it) and a bronchidilator inhaler (when I need it). Slowly feeling a bit better, but damn it, I've been wrestling with this shit since before Thanksgiving. I'm tired of it.

[SeattleGirl]

34. Sorry to hear you got worse again, Berry

:hug:

[Berry Cool]

36. Thanks, SG.

I am going to party SO HARD when I am well again. (Hah, and then I'll feel sick again. Maybe not.)

[Patsy Stone]

13. And a TS!

There was a little spate of Oreo photos being posted around and one showed up here. Nice. Long timer, too.

That thread is fab! My thoughts: at some point, Darwinism has to take over, doesn't it? I mean there's this floor cleaner called Fabuloso, and they had to change their packaging because kids were drinking it thinking it was a sports drink. Because, I guess, in these kids' houses, they keep the Powerade under the sink?

[Berry Cool]

17. Remember the story about people drinking Sun Light dishwashing liquid

(which contained lemon juice) because they thought it WAS lemon juice????? :banghead:

True, sports drinks come in such bizarre chemically colored varieties these days that it's hard to tell the potable from the poisonous unless it's kept in the original container. But that's like, Rule #1 of hazardous chemicals...don't put them in unlabeled containers or drink bottles. Extremely stupid thing to do.

And I'd say let Darwinism rule, but adults stupidly do that and then kids, not knowing better, drink the stuff.

[RevCheesehead]

20. Oreo?

I never knew others loved her, too. Here she is with Binky and Roo and some lady:



Darwinism: absolutely! :rofl:

[Patsy Stone]

26. Awwww...

What a picture. :loveya:

[SeattleGirl]

37. I saw that thread where the TS'd one posted the Oreo

pic. I have to say, I was surprised to see that coming from him.

[Patsy Stone]

42. They've all lost their minds.

:hi:, SG!

[SeattleGirl]

44. You can say that again. I actually had someone tell me yesterday

that Obama was being lazy by pushing off the writing of the health care bill to Congress. WTF????

I responded to him by reminding him that writing law IS the job of Congress. Obama's job is to sign or veto a bill.

Sheesh!

Do they not teach anything about government in school these days?

[WolverineDG]

45. He apparently was a big asshole in the GLBT forum

they really hated him; caught a thread about it in the Lounge & what johnny blitz & lioness said didn't really surprise me. He was pretty much an ass to anyone who said they liked the new Star Trek movie.

dg

[SeattleGirl]

46. Kind of ran of the rails about Star Trek???

Hmmmm, maybe he can now get a life.

[WolverineDG]

51. OMG, he was nuts about Star Trek TOS

if you even breathed that the other brands were good, he went ballistic, & especially so over the new movie.

dg

[SeattleGirl]

53. Wow.

Glad I never saw any of that!

[RevCheesehead]

56. which is particularly odd, considering his "new" user name.

"Deja Q" was an episode from TNG, starring John DeLancie. He often used his pic on his sig line. Go figure.

[WolverineDG]

57. He used to snot off about TNG too but for whatever reason got over it

something about it being "approved" by Roddenberry, or somesuch. I never paid too much attention to him, once I figured out he was either whining about something or snotting off about versions of ST he didn't approve of.

dg

[Botany]

2. Did I ever tell you that you are my Fave?

Can I just suggest a 50% tax on bad toupees

[RevCheesehead]

4. and tanning beds.

First they came for my booze... then they came for my cigarettes...

:hi:

[Berry Cool]

3. Oh, fer cryin' out loud.

They busted on the dog too, huh?? Figures.

:hi: Oh well. I'm here, but only half so. I fear we're without Keith now until after New Year's. *sigh*

[RevCheesehead]

6. Nonsense.

He'll be around for Sunday night football. :hi:

edited for Oreo typo :)

[Berry Cool]

15. Well, true, but that's it.

At least I got to see him last night, making his reliable weekly references to "a big bag of mashed-up..." and "Boom goes the dynamite."

[ralps]

5. Hi Patsy! Hi Everyone! Yay for Maxine Waters! & Markos!

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

[RevCheesehead]

8. Hi ralps and Crook!

:hi: Hope you're doing well!

[ralps]

9. Hi RevCheesehead, Crook & I are doing good & Hi to Oreo, & lil' Keith! How are you all doing?

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

[RevCheesehead]

14. Oh, we're hanging in there.

Keith still has fleas or something, Oreo is ticked that I was gone all afternoon visiting my Dad, and the Orange Cat is still shacking up with his girlfriend somewhere. Kids. :)

[Berry Cool]

19. Um, Rev, maybe you need to change Oreo's name for a while.

Remember, people abused dachshunds and German shepherds during WWI.

You don't want people taking it the wrong way.

Perhaps "Freedom Kitty"? Until things die down?

[RevCheesehead]

22. I will use one of her alternate names:

Li'l Ms. Chiff or Puff will do. Grandma called her "cookie crumbs."

[Berry Cool]

24. You could call her Skunk Girl.

It works for Bella when I'm pissed at her.

[Berry Cool]

23. It could be worse.

You could have an Oreo with fleas, CC ticked that you were gone (which wouldn't make sense given that he's the one who didn't come with you), and Keith still shacking up with his girlfriend.

Oh, wait...Keith IS still shacked up with his girlfriend.

:cry:

OK, I'm better now.

[Botany]

12. Wisconsin winter fun

just saying

[RevCheesehead]

25. Don't forget:

[Berry Cool]

28. Heck, in Ohio we got that beat--right, Bot?

Just watch this video:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6L-fVwcGBlU

(Warning: Not recommended to Sharon. May induce vomiting.)

[Berry Cool]

31. Aw, can't you just hear the disappointment in Velma's voice

as she says "Hello, Lawrence..."?

Bet you anything she brought her mistletoe.

[mohinoaklawnillinois]

41. LOL, Berry

That video is absolutely hilarious.... Does anyone in KOEB have any suggestions for me re: Medicare. I'm going on it in March 2010 and I haven't a clue about any of the plans. I have to pick one by December 31st. All I know is that four of my meds aren't covered by any of the plans I got from my pharmacist at Walgreens.

[RevCheesehead]

43. SO when does he take his clothes off?

I thought that was the theme. :evilgrin:

[Berry Cool]

48. Sorry, should've warned you, he keeps his clothes on.

The theme is, he's got a real talent with, um, giving a blow job. So to speak.

[SeattleGirl]

29. Hi all!

Yeah, when I saw that thread about Bo, I damned new blew a gasket.

I don't venture into GD or GDPissedOff much any more.

Too many whackos posting in there these days.

But I love this forum!

:hi:

[rocktivity]

30. I had a feeling that Keith would be too bummed out to work tonight...

Or does he have Mondays off during the football season?

:(
rocktivity

[Berry Cool]

33. No, he's been taking Fridays off usually, but on Mondays he's normally here.

:hi: He may have just decided to take the short work week off Countdown to have more time to spend with his dad, given that he can't get out of working the football game studio shows.

[Patsy Stone]

32. Sarah Palin just used "death panels" like Ronald Reagan

used "Evil Empire" because it was nowhere on the map??

Oh... :rofl:

[Berry Cool]

35. I wonder if Keith will narrate the "Year in Sarah Palin."

I hate to fire up the DVD recorder for that chick, but at least Keith would make me laugh.

[Patsy Stone]

39. Did you?

I hope he does. Sorry you're still sicky. :hug:

[Berry Cool]

49. Thanks.

I need all the good wishes I can get. If I don't get better by Christmas my family will quarantine me.

[WolverineDG]

38. Yeah, I couldn't beleive that either

although it is true that my pets have better access to health care than I do. On the bright side, one of the more annoying posters (who'd always lose it if someone praised any brand of Star Trek other than the original series) got a granite cookie.

Oh, & according to the "feminists" on DU, I am a man. I have to be, because no woman would tell them to stop acting like victims & go out & do something instead of whining about Hooters. :eyes:

dg

[Patsy Stone]

47. You're a man!??!?

Holy Crap! I had no ideaaaaaa. :rofl:

That Hooters thing was nuts. :hi:

[WolverineDG]

50. Especially when someone argued her way out of the argument

kept telling me & others "it's not about that" to whatever we said. Then someone asked "So what is it about, anyway?"

Yeah, came as a big shock to me that I'm a guy...think I should tell my parents?

dg

[Berry Cool]

52. Well, Wolfie and Pats, I disagree with you about the Hooters thing

but that doesn't mean we can't be friends.

Maybe you have to have been a teenage feminist who was always embarrassed by your own outsized physiology (and how poorly it suited you given your utter lack of interest in being a bimbo) in order to understand.

I don't even want to IMAGINE how the boys in my high school class would've behaved if I'd ever had to spend time with them in a Hooters.

Just sayin'.

Oh, and for the record, I don't think either of you is a man. Just two women who need to maybe think about what it would be like to be a teenage girl other than what kind of teenage girl each of you personally was.

That being said, though, no use arguing over it forever.

[Berry Cool]

54. And...looks as if our Countdown year-end specials this time around will be

a return to the "Favorite Things" theme and a "Whack Job Jubilee." Which we will see repeated two or three times each before we finally get Keith back.

Hope they're good.

[WolverineDG]

55. I had no boobs, guess how I felt

Victim feminism annoys me to no end.
