KOEB Meeting: 04/01/10 -- April Fool Edition

[Patsy Stone]

Actually, I was a fool in March, too. :hi:

[SharonRB]

1. Is everyone playing an April's Fool joke on you?

Where are they?

:hi:

[Patsy Stone]

2. They all know what a fool I am

and they're staying away. :hi:

[SharonRB]

4. You're nobody's fool

as far as I'm concerned!

[Patsy Stone]

7. Thanks.

I needed that. :hug:

[SharonRB]

8. Another bad day?

:hug:

(And in other news...I still have my headache. This was a really long one.)

[Patsy Stone]

13. Wow. That is a long time.

I know how much that hurts. I'm sure you've tried everything, but ice and about four Advil works sometimes for me.

Yes. A bad week, a bad month. Cue Patti, because I need a new attitude.

[RevCheesehead]

20. You know what you need?

and


You're welcome. :)

[SharonRB]

22. I'll take Door #2.

#1 would just make it worse.

[Patsy Stone]

28. Delicious!

:applause:
Cheers, Sweetie.

[RevCheesehead]

31. See?

You feel better now, don't you? :hug:

[Patsy Stone]

33. Yes, I do.

Now if could could just figure out a way to get them through the damn screen!

[rocktivity]

57. Wong place, sorry! n/m

.

[CBHagman]

48. Hear, hear, Shazzer.

I, on the other hand, am a fool, because I looked at the Guardian website last night and totally fell for the Gordon Brown "hard man" campaign posters. I'd forgotten what today was... :blush:

[Patsy Stone]

54. LOL!

That's too funny. :hi:

David Cameron is quite smarmy.

[CBHagman]

66. Hey, Pats.

:hi:

It's just been one of those weeks, hasn't it?



In fact there's been nothing holy about Holy Week; mine started off with a confrontation with antiabortion activists and their gory signs/staunch opposition to universal health care.

[WolverineDG]

84. Are you going to Switzerland for the spaghetti harvest?

:rofl:

I remember when that happened. Every year, new prank. Every year, people fall for it.

Oreo is telling me it's time to break out the tuna. :hi:

[Patsy Stone]

17. Do you pop out at parties?

Are you unpoopular?



Meow, Oreo! :hi:

[SeattleGirl]

I think I'm slowly becoming one of them. :scared:

[RevCheesehead]

25. One thing that cats teach you....

there is no such thing as a last supper. :hi:

[Berry Cool]

41. True.

Cats would not tolerate the very notion. :hi:

[RevCheesehead]

16. Hi ralps and Crook!

Oreo and I are the dumb ones, stuck up in the loft, watching the TV. :)

[PSzymeczek]

81. It's in the 40s here

and our furnace died.

[GigiMommy]

[SharonRB]

14. Hysterical...Nance Gregg's thread gets locked...get this...

because the mod thought it was copyrighted material that hadn't been credited. :rofl: They apologized and unlocked it. Guess they've never reada her stuff before. Check it out...it's a great post, as usual.

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=389&topic_id=8070057&mesg_id=8071784

[Patsy Stone]

21. That's a riot.

:rofl:

[Berry Cool]

35. I read that one...loved it!

Her best yet!

[SeattleGirl]

15. Howdy, all! Happy Day of Foolishness!

[SeattleGirl]

[Berry Cool]

43. Love that one!

and hi, ralps, SG and any other newcomers I missed! :hi:

[bleever]

18. Keef got a new TV?

:hi:

[Berry Cool]

24. Tony Perkins? Mother...Blood...Noooooo!

:rofl: Sorry, channeling the mooks again.

Well, folks, this is why all phone numbers need to be proofread carefully in printed materials, and, oft-times, even called, just to make sure.

[Patsy Stone]

37. I think you're right

It's bigger. I can't see the Dean & Deluca sign across the plaza anymore.

:hi:

[Berry Cool]

45. They have him doing a different kind of bumper tease

with the emphasis on the screen behind him, so yes, I do think they made it bigger.

Must be MSNBC's anniversary present to the show.

[ralps]

26. Here's some new LOL Kitties

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

[Patsy Stone]

30. Adorable!

I particularly like the last one. :hi:

[SeattleGirl]

38. Me too!

[Berry Cool]

39. I think I'm a mind reader!

I knew Keith was going to mention the Spaghetti Harvest hoax on Oddball tonight!!

It was a winner tonight anyway. I love these Holy Week rituals with guys dressed as devils whipping people in public.

[Patsy Stone]

42. Hiya!

I was just about to say hi to you in another post, but here you are! :hi:

Happy almost Friday!

[Berry Cool]

46. Bella likes it too!

[rocktivity]

44. I really hate those BP commercials

How many people do you know who say "energy" when they mean "oil" or "gas" or "electricity"?

x(
rocktivity

[Patsy Stone]

47. My question is always

Why didn't you guys start looking at all these wonderful energy ideas earlier? Suddenly, they've got all the answers.

:hi:

[Berry Cool]

49. Keith's best Special Comment yet!!!!!

"You're not a single lady!"

"...Waaaahhhhhh!"

"I'm sorry, buddy!"

:rofl:

[Patsy Stone]

51. I couldn't help laughing

but that poor baby. :(

:rofl:

[rocktivity]

61. It reminds me of a story a friend told me

She would greet her niece by calling her "Cousin Ugly." One day when she came to visit, she noticed that the child had a long face. When she asked if something was wrong, her niece whimpered, "You didn't call me ugly!"

That little boy cried because being a "single lady" made him the "equal" of his older sisters, and he treasured that. Kudos for dad to apologizing.

:rofl:
rocktivity

[Berry Cool]

77. Yeah, isn't it funny how kids' minds work?

Erma Bombeck once wrote that she had a picture of herself with her sister, crying because they'd each just been given a coin. Her sister got a nickel and she got a dime--and she was crying because her sister's coin was bigger!

[GigiMommy]

50. Hi Everybody!!!

:hi: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce:

[Patsy Stone]

52. Hello!

:hi: to Cassie! :bounce:

[GigiMommy]

58. Hi Patsy!!!

Cassie says HI too!:hi: :bounce:

[SeattleGirl]

62. Hi Gigi and Miss Cassie!

:hi: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce:

[GigiMommy]

68. Hi SG!!!

:hi: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: The sun being out and the warm weather made it a good day. Hope you had one too.

[SeattleGirl]

71. Glad you had a good one, Gigi

I had a good day too, even though it rained.

[ralps]

55. Today's worst person in the world is Sen Blance Lincoln!! for flip floping! on Health

Care Reform!! :hi: :loveya: :hug: :pals: :woohoo: :rofl:

[Berry Cool]

59. Hi GGM and Cassie!

:hi: Poor Blanche Lincoln...she was for it both before AND after she was against it!!!!

Keef on Dick Morris..."I'd say he put his foot in his mouth, but it's other people's feet he likes to put in his mouth." :rofl:

[Patsy Stone]

60. Every time I think of that

it skeeves me out somethin' fierce. Eeeeew. Don't do that again, 'k?

[Berry Cool]

78. I'll try not to

but still... :rofl:

[GigiMommy]

70. Hi Berry!!!

:hi: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce:

[PSzymeczek]

82. Like VP Biden's comment to Dick Morris

at the Correspondents' Dinner. "At least when I put my foot in my mouth, it's my own foot."

[SeattleGirl]

63. "If your watching this from the hospital, push!"

:rofl:

[Berry Cool]

64. Keith put down on the census form that he lives alone?????

Before I go :bounce: ... I must remember, this IS April Fool's, after all...

[Patsy Stone]

72. Yeah; I clocked that, too.

:wtf:

[SharonRB]

79. Delayed reaction

I wondered when you'd pick up on that.

[Patsy Stone]

69. LOL! The whole last bit is classic.

He's on a roll.

[Patsy Stone]

65. I got a second Census form in the mail today.

I mailed the first one a week or so ago, so now I'm wondering if they got it or not, or if they just send up a follow up one automatically.

[DemReadingDU]

73. It might be the ACS survey

My sister got that in addition to the census.


What is ACS survey?
The American Community Survey
* is an on-going survey
* is sent to a sample of the population
* tells us what the population looks like and how it lives
* helps communities determine where to locate services and allocate resources
http://www.census.gov/acs/www/


The American Community Survey and the 2010 Census
Both require your participation.


The American Community Survey and the 2010 Census provide important pictures of America. They show not only the number of people who live here, but how we live as a Nation—our education, housing, jobs, and more. The information collected in each helps community leaders decide where schools, highways, hospitals, and other services are needed.

:hi:

[Patsy Stone]

80. Oooh.

That would be cool! Thanks for the info; I'll have to go and look at it. :hi:

[PSzymeczek]

83. Must be automatic.

I sent ours two weeks ago.

[Patsy Stone]

85. I guess so

Because it's just another regular ol' Census form. Did you get another one in the mail, too?

[RevCheesehead]

86. Was one of yours addressed to Patsy Stone?

That would be kewl. B-)

[Patsy Stone]

67. David Corn and Keith are cheering me up immensely.

Black helicopters. LOL!

[Berry Cool]

74. LOL, Keith just wished Rachel a Happy Birthday by mouthing it!

:loveya: Too much, Keith.

Happy Birthday, Rachel!! :party:
