KOEB Meeting: 04/05/10 -- Another Round with Tiger Edition

[Patsy Stone]

:hi:, y'all! It's sports-centric night here in America. Tiger's going back for The Masters (as KO predicted he would); I hear there's some kind of a basketball game going on; and a little birdy told me it's finally time for another season of Marlins baseball -- Go Fish! (Even though you lost in spectacular fashion today.) So, step up to the plate/green/free throw line everybody and let's PLAY BALL!

[Patsy Stone]

1. And wouldn't you know...

Keith found a baseball reference to mention in his brief biography of Justice Stevens. LOL!

Here's to you, Justice Stevens! Hip Hip Hooray! :toast: :patriot:

[Berry Cool]

27. Leave it to Keith, eh?

:hi: But did ya have to mention baseball?? The Indians have already lost their first. :-(

Again, how 'bout those Cavs????? :bounce:

[WolverineDG]

2. I survived Easter on DU

:hi:

Never realized until now that if you're on the fence about the Shroud of Turin & fascinated in all the research around it, you're an idiot. :eyes:

Yes, the War on People of Faith is alive & well on DU!

[Patsy Stone]

5. Let me tell you when I discovered that

Yesterday morning there was a thread proclaiming "Happy Zombie Jeebus Day!" There was a matching cartoon.

Oh, it was locked; you betcha. But that offended me, and I'm not a Christian. This is a scary place most nights, weekends, and on all major holidays.

Sorry they upset you. :hug:

:hi:

ed: Because Hooked on Phonics worked for me!

[WolverineDG]

13. Oh it's par for the course

but this year, it's like they went out of their way to be offensives assholes. And wow, when it was pointed out that they only go after Christians, but not Jews, Muslims, Buddhists, etc, things got *really* nasty. :scared:

Some folks just don't like it when you call them on their bull shit. Had they not crapped in my nest, I'd be out there defending them from the asshats on my side. But now? meh.

And I really had to laugh at the ones who went insane because several people refused to say the Shroud was painted....I could see them at home yelling at their screens "IT'S PAINT" & the neighbors looking at themselves like :wtf: is going on over there now? :rofl:

dg

[RevCheesehead]

25. Oh, I'm sorry I missed that.

I woulda told my M&M joke. :evilgrin:

[WolverineDG]

35. Head on over to R&T

gun fight's still going on.....

:eyes:

dg

[Berry Cool]

29. Tell me about it.

:hi: Yeah, I survived the usual onslaught of people posting about the pagan origins of Easter symbolism as if they were imparting some amazing blockbusting secret that was going to destroy all Christianity forever. Yawn.

"Did you know about the Goddess Eostre? Did you know that rabbits and eggs are FERTILITY SYMBOLS???" Well, golly gosh, who coulda guessed? I thought Jesus invented 'em especially for his holiday. So much for me believing in that faker! :rofl:

[WolverineDG]

44. Yeah, I'm all, "NO, really?"

DUUUUUUUUuuuuuuhhhhhhhhhhh. ;)

Cuz, yeah, I can see how someone could look at the Passion Story & first think "I know, let's dye eggs & make bunnies out of chocolate!"

[ralps]

3. Hi Patsy! Hi Everyone!

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

[Patsy Stone]

8. Hi, ralps!

Meow, Crook!

I was beginning to think I was going to have to talk to myself all night. :hi:

[RevCheesehead]

4. One hour to tip-off, and I've chosen to spend it with y'all.

:hi: Hi everyone!!

[Patsy Stone]

6. LOL

We are honored. :thumbsup:

[RevCheesehead]

14. There's nowhere else I'd rather be during Countdown.

[Patsy Stone]

15. Happy to be hangin' with you, too

:D

[Berry Cool]

40. Peep Simpsons! Love it!

[bleever]

9. Should be a great game,

but not for Butler.

:hi:

[RevCheesehead]

10. Sssshhhh!

Please don't jinx it!

:hi:

[ralps]

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

I was hoping West Virginia would get into the final! Bob Kincaid from the HORN lives in WV. :hi: :loveya: :hug: :pals: :woohoo: :hug:

[RevCheesehead]

19. Hi ralps and Crook!

Look what the Google found!

[ralps]

24. LOL Great graphic! the Kitty might be a Savannah cat

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

[WolverineDG]

16. Hiya Rev!

:hi: :hug: :loveya:

Did you see the History Channel's show on the Shroud of Turin? Very interesting, but of course inconclusive.

dg

[RevCheesehead]

21. Is it the same one they've run for years?

If so, then yeah, I saw it. If it's updated, nope. I was watching basketball... and yesterday, reruns of basketball. :)

:hi:

[WolverineDG]

28. All Sports Sunday?

Good way to spend your time. :)

No, this was a brand new one--about making a 3D model from the image, all the problems they encountered & how they solved them. The model they created was stunning.

dg

[GigiMommy]

42. WOW, I would have liked to have seen that.

Hi Wolfie!:hi:

[WolverineDG]

48. Hi GGM!!

:hi: Go on over to History.com, you might be able to catch it online, or maybe at hulu ? One thing's for sure, History will repeat it again & again & again.... :rofl:

dg

[Berry Cool]

39. No need to worry, Rev, I'm for Duke tonight.

They're my only surviving Final Four team. Heck, I picked 'em for Final Two. Now they have to beat Butler and avenge my precious 'Cuse. Go Blue Devils!!!!

[SharonRB]

7. Tigers came from behind to win their opener in KC

Go, Tigers!

[Patsy Stone]

11. Woo Hoo!

For you, this short post is from my iPhone. :)

[SharonRB]

17. Cool!

How are you enjoying it so far?

[Patsy Stone]

22. Love it.

We got them just after you and I spoke, so it's been a couple of weeks. Finally made it out of the house and steeled myself to sit in a phone store for over an hour, and it was well worth it.

[SharonRB]

31. So you both got them?

Dave is so not into doing anything with a phone other than using it as a phone. He's challenged even doing texts. It's weird because over the years he was the techie, but now Ariana and I are worlds ahead of him.

You'll love getting more and more apps. I've got a few different cooking apps since I've started cooking now, and I just use my phone as a cookbook.

[Patsy Stone]

37. Well, of course.

I went for the 16G, but DH had to have the 32G. :)

I was waffling between the Jitterbug and the iPhone. It was either just going to be really easy to make a phone call when I needed to, or I was going to get a computer in my hand. My favorite App so far is the Zippo lighter. I am now concert ready!

[SharonRB]

41. Oooh, I don't have that one.

I'd much rather have a computer in my hand than something just really easy to make a phone call. I use mine far more often for anything other than phone calls.

[Berry Cool]

43. How big is your phone bill going to be?

And how hard are they to charge? :rofl:

[Patsy Stone]

65. The phone service is about the same or less

but the data charge is where they get you. It will probably work out to about $40 more a month when the dust settles.

[SharonRB]

70. I wound up getting the unlimited texting after the first few months

Everytime I got a tweet from someone it counted as a text and it was getting out of hand. It's costing me less to get unlimited.

I also pay $10 a month for AT&T Navigator -- GPS right on my phone so I don't need to have the GPS in my car anymore. One less piece of electronics.

[ralps]

18. Don Blankenship & Massey Energy IMO are real assholes!! They want to turn West

Virginia into a Moonscape w/ their Mountain top Removal!!! :hi: :loveya: :hug: :pals: :woohoo: :grr:

[bleever]

20. Hey kids, I'm in the moving pictures business!

Please see here: http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=385x452087



:hi:

[Patsy Stone]

26. Look at you!

:applause:

[bleever]

30. I'm thrilled to be here.

:hi:

[SharonRB]

33. Uh oh

It's blocked for copyright violations.

[bleever]

36. Huh, it still works for me.

And there are a slew of other clips with the same video.

[SharonRB]

49. Nope -- not working.

As someone on the thread said, you must have the pre-blocked link.

[Patsy Stone]

55. Sharon's right.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vw4kKwMjksc

:(

[SharonRB]

57. Now that link works with a message superimposed over it

The one in the thread didn't work at all.

[Patsy Stone]

62. Are you talking about mine?

It's a totally different video. It's called "Hitler finds out his YouTube video got removed." :)

[SharonRB]

66. I just watched the whole thing now

Hysterical! I thought you were posting a different link to the same one Bleever posted.

[Berry Cool]

46. What, is there blockage??

Oh, and BTW, I now hate Chase for ruining yet another great song.

[GigiMommy]

23. Hi Everybody!!!

SPRING BREAK IS HERE!!! :hi: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce:

[ralps]

32. Hi GigiMommy! & Cassie! Hugs

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

[GigiMommy]

47. Hi Ralps!!!

Love Happy Kittie!:hi: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce:

[SharonRB]

34. Hi, Gigi and Cassie

:hi:

[GigiMommy]

50. Hi Sharon!!!

That Doctor's an ASS and should have his license revoked.:hi: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce:

[SharonRB]

53. I agree.

What a dipshit.

[Berry Cool]

51. Hi GGM and Casse!!

:hi: (and hi to anyone else I missed!)

Tell Cassie to stay away from the Czech Republic unless she wants guys to spank her.

Too bad Bot wasn't around for that one. I think Keith ran it especially for him.

[GigiMommy]

64. Hi Berry!!!

Cassie should stay away but maybe I need to fly over there (might be the only action I'll get for a while).:hi: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce:

[RevCheesehead]

52. For you or for Cassie?

:hi: Hi you two!!! :bounce::bounce:

[GigiMommy]

68. Hi Rev!!!

(Hee hee) It's for Cassie but she had to clean her playroom today.:hi: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce:

[SharonRB]

38. Did you guys hear about Shuster?

He's been suspended indefinitely. Word has it he made a pilot for CNN and if it turns out to be true, it sounds like he'll be fired.

Bummer! I love Shuster. And, he's the only one on MSNBC who's been having Nancy on.

Ed filled in for him this afternoon.

[RevCheesehead]

45. Oh no!

I like him! :cry:

[Berry Cool]

72. I'm so glad Keith finally spoke up against this John Avlon and his false equivalencies.

Idiot writes a book called "Wingnuts" in which he puts Sarah Palin, Glenn Beck and Keith on the cover and implies they're all the same. Please.

[GigiMommy]

54. Oh my...

that's too bad.

[Patsy Stone]

58. I saw the rumblings of that yesterday

and I heard Ed today during Shuster's normal spot, so that's what I was a fraid of. Boooo.

To be fair, MSNBC wasn't really using him to his full potential. They had no idea what to do with him and he was relagated to an hour or two a day and all fill-in spots.

[SeattleGirl]

60. I heard about that.

Bummer. :-(

[Berry Cool]

69. Yeah, it's too bad, but I hope he gets a job on CNN then.

MSNBC has been wasting his talents.

[SeattleGirl]

56. Hi everybody! Yes, let's play ball!!

Hour and a half 'till my Mariners play at Oakland! Woohoo! I loves me some baseball! :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo:

:hi:

[SharonRB]

59. Hi, SG

Good luck! Tigers pulled one out today.

[SeattleGirl]

61. Thanks, and yay Tigers!

:hi:

[GigiMommy]

Hi SG!!!

Play ball!!!:hi: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce:

[SeattleGirl]

74. Hi Gigi!

What do you and Miss Cassie have planned for spring break?

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

[GigiMommy]

77. Cassie wants to buy a toy for her Zhu Zhu Pet

and we might go to Ann Arbor's Hands On Museum. Anything after that, we'll just wing it.

[Patsy Stone]

82. Good luck to you and yours!

[SeattleGirl]

63. Good grief, another mine disaster.

x(

[ralps]

67. Today's worst person in the world is Glenn Beck!!

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

[Patsy Stone]

71. Always a crowd pleaser.

:puke:

[Berry Cool]

73. "Bert Parks, not Rosa Parks."

"No wait, that's an insult to Bert Parks." :rofl:

"Theeeeere it is...your Komodo Draaaaagon!"

[Patsy Stone]

75. I liked that silly little movie.

:rofl:

[Berry Cool]

78. Me too.

Didn't know if anyone here had seen it!

I still laugh thinking of Bert singing "I ain't gonna work on Maggie's farm no more..."

[Patsy Stone]

80. It's a shame Bert didn't do other films

He would have been a great Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon link to Matthew Broderick and Marlon Brando. :)

[SharonRB]

76. Please, Kelly

Don't use the word "re-entry" when you're talking about Tiger Woods. Just sayin'.

[Berry Cool]

79. Yeah, that would be an excellent idea.

It's amazing Keith could keep a straight face, given what he made out of Tiger saying he was "blown away" earlier. Keith, Keith.

I guess he's trying to be more somber because of this mine explosion. Damn, it's always happening with this same crappy company, isn't it? Makes you wonder that anyone agrees to that kind of work anymore.

I imagine MSNBC is not that sorry not to be sending Rita Cosby to West Virginia this time to do her usual "crack" reporting job.

[Patsy Stone]

81. I can hear her screaming from here.

:)
