KOEB Meeting: 04/06/10 -- Brave Nuke World Edition

[Patsy Stone]

Thanks to Countdown for the title. I had none.

:hi:, everybody!

[SeattleGirl]

1. Hi Patsy! That IS a good title.

:hi:

[Patsy Stone]

2. Hi!

Sorry, I was having photo posting problems.

Did the Mariners win last night?

[SeattleGirl]

3. They did!

Nice way to start the season!

[SharonRB]

6. Congrats!

:hi:

[SeattleGirl]

10. Thanks. Hoping for the best for both our teams this year.

:hi:

[Patsy Stone]

15. Nice!

We did not. Oh, well. Tomorrow's another day.

[SeattleGirl]

17. The start of every baseball season brings hope to every fan.

Here's hoping your guys do better! :toast:

[Patsy Stone]

23. I'm hoping we get to .500 tomorrow.

I like to see it at least once a season. Usually, it's the second game, and then nothing until much, much later in the season, when they wake up.

:toast:

[SeattleGirl]

26. That's gotta be frustrating.

I know I get that way when the Mariners start off badly. Oftentimes, by the time they wake up, it's too late.

[SharonRB]

39. As long as we don't spend an entire season in first place

and then lose it the last game of the season again.

[SeattleGirl]

41. Oh yeah. Let's hope THAT doesn't happen this year!

[Patsy Stone]

80. The Marlins

are usually always almost in it. Every once in a while, they're in it. Sometimes they take so long to wake up, or choke at just the wrong time, that they lose their way towards it. Then they take the end of the season off too.

[Berry Cool]

48. Indians fans like the season best before it begins

because it's the only time we have a perfect record.

[RevCheesehead]

4. See, I would have gone with the "Duke wins the championship" title.

But that's just me. :)

:hi: Hi Patsy and everyone!

[SeattleGirl]

7. Hi Rev!

Yeah, I'm sure you would have. Congrats, by the way!

:hi:

[RevCheesehead]

16. Thanks!

How are ya doing, SG? :hi:

[SeattleGirl]

20. Doing quite well, thanks.

How about you?

:hi:

[RevCheesehead]

25. I'm good, thanks.

But I'm beginning to suspect the food at Dad's - every night when I eat there, I get a sudden urge. Must be all those damned vegetables. :P

[SeattleGirl]

28. LOL!

Watch out fer dem veggies!

:P

[Patsy Stone]

33. Maybe

it's the Ex-Lax gravy they use?

[SeattleGirl]

35. LOL!

:spray:

[RevCheesehead]

38. I wouldn't doubt it!

:rofl:

[SharonRB]

8. Congrats, Rev

I watched none of it.

[RevCheesehead]

22. Can't say that I blame ya.

That Butler team is a scrappy li'l team. They had me scared all night long. :)

:hi: Hope you're doing well, Sharon. :)

[SharonRB]

43. I'm doing okay.

Thanks for asking.

[Patsy Stone]

9. Duke wins the pennant! Duke wins the pennant!

:)

Congrats again. It really was a great game. :hi:

[RevCheesehead]

30. But exhausting!

:hi: Are things better for you at work this week?

[Patsy Stone]

42. Yes, thank you.

I'm better all around. The crazy people have calmed down, and we're all good until the next insane fire drill.

It was exhausting. As someone who can't stand college basketball, even I found it riveting. The coach from Butler doesn't even shave yet, does he?

[RevCheesehead]

45. hee-hee!

He was like 3 years old when Coach K began at Duke. By the way, did I tell you I'm gonna name my next male cat Krzyzewski? I like to torment the vet techies. :evilgrin:

I'm glad things were better. Tell them next year not to act up when it's your anniversary.

[WolverineDG]

24. Congrats Rev!

My brackets were totally wrecked, but I'm glad your team won!

:hi:

dg

[RevCheesehead]

31. Sorry about that.

I had the South and the East winners... the other two, not so much. :)

:hi:

[SharonRB]

5. Hola, Chicas

:hi:

[Patsy Stone]

11. Hola!

How are ya? How's your head?

[SharonRB]

13. Better, thank goodness.

I was at a seminar all day today, though, and I'm exhausted.

[Patsy Stone]

18. Zzzzzzzzz.

That sounds like a lot of smiling and small talk. :)

[SharonRB]

44. Not that kind of seminar

It was an InDesign seminar, so I actually learned some useful stuff, but I was exhausted by the time I got home.

[Patsy Stone]

66. Oh, good.

At least it was time well spent. :thumbsup:

[ralps]

12. Hi Patsy! Hi Everyone!

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

[SeattleGirl]

14. Hi ralps!

:hi:

[ralps]

34. Hi SeattleGirl!!

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

[RevCheesehead]

58. Now that's a cat with an attitude!

:rofl:

:hi: Hi ralps and Crook!

[ralps]

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

Congratulations! :hi: :loveya: :hug: :pals: :woohoo: :hug:

[RevCheesehead]

71. We're good, but pooped!

Though Oreo gets her own attitude whenever the sun doesn't show up. :)

[WolverineDG]

19. Hola peoples!

:hi:

dg

[SeattleGirl]

21. Hola, Wolvie!

:hi:

[WolverineDG]

27. Heya SG!

I haven't checked to see how the Astros have been doing, but if it's like they do every year, they've already folded like a card table. :rofl:

dg

[SeattleGirl]

32. Well, good luck to the boys!

Maybe they can keep their legs under themselves this year!

[RevCheesehead]

Isn't that the team that W ran into the ground?

[SeattleGirl]

65. Nope, that was the Rangers.

He actually traded Sammy Sosa away.

[RevCheesehead]

74. Ohhhh.....

That was his practice run for f*&#ing up the country, eh?

[SeattleGirl]

76. Yep.

Another spectacular failure which the SCOTUS apparently thought made him the BEST person to serve as President.

[Patsy Stone]

29. Buenas noches

:hi: This mine company should have been shut down after the last collapse.

[WolverineDG]

53. No shit

:hi:

dg

[CBHagman]

37. Hiya, WDG.

:hi:

[WolverineDG]

60. Hi CB!

Haven't seen you in a long time!

:hi:

dg

[CBHagman]

77. Lately I've been missing the show.

:cry:

And sometimes I'm just too tired to post...:-(

[WolverineDG]

91. I hear ya nt

[GigiMommy]

104. Hi Wolfie!!!

:hi:

[WolverineDG]

107. Hi GGM!!

How's it going? :hi:

dg

[RevCheesehead]

36. More cost effective???

How about a huge wrongful deaths lawsuit, assholes???? :grr:

[SeattleGirl]

40. That attitude really pisses me off!

What a blatant disregard of human life! :grr:

And those poor, poor families. :cry:

[ralps]

49. Here's an article about Massey Energy

http://headonradionetwork.com/blog/2010/04/06/massey-mine-that-killed-25-has-scores-of-safety-violations-video/

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

[Berry Cool]

46. Not bad at all.

I probably would have called it "No Nukes Is Good Nukes."

:hi: Great pic of Keith!

[SeattleGirl]

47. Hi Berry!

:hi:

[Berry Cool]

67. Hi SG!

:hi:

[Patsy Stone]

50. Hi!

I found it on Life's site. The back of the head on the left is Rachel. It's from the day they went to the WH. But, I am sad to report, they spelled Keith's name wrong. :(

http://www.life.com/image/91996865

[Berry Cool]

69. Shame on them.

They should be put in the stocks.

[Patsy Stone]

82. Life freakin' Magazine!

Aren't they, like, the pictorial history of the country or something? Didn't anyone (Anyone?) there catch that?

[Berry Cool]

54. Oh, and yeah, this mining disaster...well, people belong in prison.

It's horrible.

Then again, things up north aren't so hot:

http://blog.cleveland.com/metro/2010/04/officers_who_failed_to_find_bo.html

Yes, the Cleveland police are mistaking murdered people for roadkill. Yes, roadkill.

I'm relieved this was on the West Side, but not that relieved. :scared:

[RevCheesehead]

83. How horrifying!

Are the officers on suspension?

[Berry Cool]

92. They're being investigated, but I see no report of suspension.

Of course, this is just a city that had 11 women disappear and turn up dead on its watch, in a guy's house. Now someone kills a woman and dumps her on the side of I-90, and the cops think she's a deer. *sigh*

[RevCheesehead]

78. Hi Berry!

Hey! Your team won! :bounce::bounce:

:hi:

[Berry Cool]

93. Nah, your team did

but congrats. :-)

[RevCheesehead]

100. I'm more than willing to share.

Yes, that includes Keith, too. :)

[Berry Cool]

106. I certainly hope so.

:evilgrin:

[GigiMommy]

[GigiMommy]

62. Hi SG!!!

Thanks and here's hoping you had a good day today.:hug: :hi: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce:



Oh...and glad to hear that your team won.

[Berry Cool]

72. Hey there GGM and Cassie!!

:hi:

[GigiMommy]

79. Hey Berry!!!

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

[RevCheesehead]

86. Hi Gigi and Cassie!

How goes the vacation? :bounce::bounce:

[GigiMommy]

96. Hi Rev!!!

Good so far. Today we went to Ann Arbor. Had fun at the Hands-on Museum there and bought lunch at the famous Zingerman's Deli. Then, we checked out an IKEA store. We're pooped.:hi: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce:

[RevCheesehead]

102. "Hands on" sounds like fun!

Of course, so does IKEA. :)

[Patsy Stone]

105. Did you have the Swedish meatballs?

IKEA is fun, but gigantic!

:hi: to both of you! :bounce:

[Botany]

52. Don Blankenship CEO Massey Coal

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=389&topic_id=8096964&mesg_id=8097254

1st class scum bucket.

W was a scum bucket too ..... he fired or let go 120 to 170 mine inspectors and put a coal man in charge of mine safety in the U.S..

[GigiMommy]

57. They BOTH should be in prison!

:hi: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: Hi Bot!!!

[Botany]

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

[Patsy Stone]

59. The whole thing is criminal.

Heckuva job, Blanky.

:hi:

[Botany]

75. W made the compliance w/ mine laws on a volunteer basis

:grr:

With a coal guy running the department.

[Berry Cool]

64. Oh good, Keith ran footage of the Orthodox Easter rocket wars again.

I never feel right unless he runs that. Just like the Running of the Bulls, the Running of the Brides, the Tomato Fest and the...sniff sniff...Cheese Roll. :cry:

Oh well, at least the Rev has something else to be happy about this year.

A cheerleader at a subway stop? I think I'd paste her one if I had just lost my job.

"Rah rah! Gooooo Economy!" *WHAM*

[WolverineDG]

56. 'E's not dead, 'e's sleeping!

Seriously, if you're going to sneak a dead man onto a plane, get a little more creative, 'k?

dg

[Patsy Stone]

61. Pining for the fjords.

Didn't they see Weekend at Bernie's?

[SeattleGirl]

63. Maybe that's where they got the idea.

B-)

[Berry Cool]

73. And it was at John Lennon Airport in Liverpool.

"Turn me on, dead man."

[SeattleGirl]

68. That teabagger was going after one of MY senators.

I'm glad the arsehole got arrested! :grr:

[Botany]

81. You can thank Glen Beck and company

In Ohio Jenny Brunner (sec. of state & Berry's BFF) got death threats thanx to
Sean Hannity pumping up the phony ACORN stories in 2008.

[SeattleGirl]

84. This crap has GOT to stop!

I don't care if people are mad at Obama or the dems for what they are doing; lawd knows I was plenty angry at Bush, and am STILL mad at the Republicans, but that doesn't give me the right to make death threats!

It's just freaking crazy out there now.

[RevCheesehead]

85. Thurber wrote an alcoholic Bay-Air story?

How cool! :rofl:

[Berry Cool]

88. Or was it an alcoholic Bear????

:rofl:

Who became an exercise freak?

:rofl:

[Botany]

89. Thurber was the bomb

BTW Did I ever tell you that you are my Fave?

[RevCheesehead]

98. Hiya Cuddles!

I heard you on Mama's show yesterday! :)

She will be yours!

[Botany]

87. Bay Airs and Booze?

:hi: Keith

[Berry Cool]

95. That Bay Air has boobs.

[ralps]

90. Today's worst person in the world is Gov. Bobby Jindal! for blackmailing/bribing the

Louisiana AG. :hi: :loveya: :hug: :pals: :woohoo: :wow:

[GigiMommy]

101. Hi Ralps!!!

I hope Mike's on tonight.:hi: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce:

[Patsy Stone]

94. I have to give Tom Coburn props, here.

Proving it IS possible for him to be a normal person.

[SeattleGirl]

97. Wow! Color ME gobsmacked!

:wow:

[Patsy Stone]

99. I head it earlier, on Ed I think

and I, too, was speechless. Let's hope it's the beginning of a trend. Fingers crossed.

[SeattleGirl]

103. Same here!

I think more Republican congress critters need to start speaking out like Coburn did.

They have helped create a monster, so they have a lot of responsibility here for helping to turn the heat down.
