KOEB Meeting: 04/16/10 -- It's Thurber Night in America Edition

[Patsy Stone]

Ahoy, maties! There are apparently four on tap for tonight according to the addict's Twitter feed. Here's Cap'n Keith!

[SeattleGirl]

1. Hi ya, Pats! Shabbot Shazzam to you!

And ahoy, Cap'n Keith!

:hi:

[Patsy Stone]

2. Hello!

DU hiccuped for me when I started the thread, so now it doesn't show up in "My DU". This is gonna be a long night. :)

[SeattleGirl]

3. Seems there have been a number of problems like that lately.

I was reading several threads in GD where people were also asking what's going on with DU.

Agent Mike, is that you?

[bleever]

4. I was going to call it the Proper Gander Edition.

:hi:

[SeattleGirl]

5. Hi bleev!

Happy Friday!

[Patsy Stone]

18. You still can!

I'll go sit on the couch and stare into space. :hi:

[RevCheesehead]

24. Very punny.

:hi:

[Botany]

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

Did Steph or Chris call you?

[bleever]

46. No.

:cry:

But I emailed Chris and told him it was okay if they wanted to use the video.

Maybe I should cut off an ear and send it to Steph.

[Botany]

53. The way the have treated you is the reason I will not have sex w/ Steph.

The 500 miles away and the fact that she is "just not that much into me" might
have something to do w/ it too.

[bleever]

58. I would go with the righteous anger

instead of her disdain for the Red Roof Inn and fine international cuisine.

[RevCheesehead]

73. yeah!

:thumbsup: Righteous anger is way sexier.

[bleever]

77. Especially since he's defending a friend.

"Nobody puts bleever in a corner!"

[RevCheesehead]

85. Unless, of course, he has the whole pole dance thing going on..

:evilgrin:

[bleever]

88. I'll never live down the shame.

At least my tail looks good.

[RevCheesehead]

90. I've always said...

you were a good piece of tail.

[Patsy Stone]

94. Okay

The three of you need to get a room.

:rofl:

[RevCheesehead]

96. Better make it four.

I should include my new friend Andy. :)
Won't Steph be jealous?

[Patsy Stone]

100. At this point

I think you're going to need to look into group rates. LOL.

[Patsy Stone]

What do they want to use it for?

The site? Lots of money?

Did you check your missed calls? Maybe they just didn't leave a message.

[bleever]

71. They want to use it at Steph's sold-out Saturday event in NY.

If I can make it there...

[Patsy Stone]

87. Congrats!

Glad to hear things are going your way. :thumbsup:

[bleever]

91. Some things.

Others...

[Patsy Stone]

101. ...

I hear ya.

[Berry Cool]

6. Keith in the white pants and shoes!!

:hi: Love it! Shabbat Shazzam to all!

[SeattleGirl]

8. Hi Berry!

Happy Friday, and Shabbat Shazzam to you too! :hi:

[Patsy Stone]

Hi!

He's yelling at people on Twitter now, asking them why they're not watching him. :eyes:

[RevCheesehead]

7. Cue the music!

"It's Football night in America" da da da-da da da... (NBC football theme)

:hi: Hi Patsy

[SeattleGirl]

9. Hi Rev!

How's life today?

:hi:

[RevCheesehead]

12. Hi SG!

Life is good! I just got another call from my new "friend" Andy. That makes two nights in a row. :)

:hi: And you?

[SeattleGirl]

15. Oh oh! How did your breakfast date go?

:hi:

[RevCheesehead]

21. It was so much fun!

My friend Julie brought her husband along. I've known them for over 30 years, so it was going to be fun anyways. But Jim told his wife last night "that was amazing - we're going to be spending a lot of time with them, aren't we?" !!!

I like him. :)

:hi:

[SeattleGirl]

23. Squeeee! That's great, Rev!!

:bounce: :bounce:

[Berry Cool]

29. I'm so pleased.

:hi: You got time for a phone call tonight, Rev?

[RevCheesehead]

67. Yeah, of course!

The way the phone's been ringing, why not? :)

:hi:

[Botany]

32. Glad you had fun!

You didn't play Tiger and the Pancake House Waitress game did you?

[GigiMommy]

52. ...

:rofl:

[RevCheesehead]

69. No, but he probably has the video game.

:hi: :rofl:

[GigiMommy]

54. REV, that's GREAT!!!

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

[RevCheesehead]

70. This whole "dating" thing is so new again...

I feel like it's high school, but I'm older and much, much wiser. :)

:hi: :bounce::bounce:

[GigiMommy]

82. I'm not EVEN ready to dip my toe in yet.

You're right. I know too much now too.:hi:

[RevCheesehead]

86. I still love Patsy's comment.

it will take years to figure out what's wrong with him. :rofl:

[CBHagman]

103. Bless your heart.

Standing on my printer I have a card with the following quotations from Marion Winik:

"1.the path is not straight.

2.mistakes need not be fatal.

3.people are more important than achievements or possessions.

4.be gentle with your parents.

5.never stop doing what you care most about.

6.learn to use a semicolon.

7.you will find love."


I hope you eventually find that the water's just fine.

Me, I like to say I've retired from dating. :shrug: But I actually don't rule anything out, and I loooove the way I think at this age. I have, as they say, finally awakened from the nightmare of youth.

[GigiMommy]

104. Thank you.

That made me smile.:hi: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce:

[Patsy Stone]

10. Hi, Rev!

Happy Friday! I'm happy your date went well. Best of luck; but watch out for the charming, funny, intelligent ones. My .02 :hi:

[RevCheesehead]

17. I keep wondering what's wrong with him.

He seems pretty normal to me. But that might be the problem. My "normal" is a standard all its own. :D

:hi:

[Patsy Stone]

22. Go with it and don't worry.

Have a great time. You probably won't really know what's wrong with him for years anyway. :)

[RevCheesehead]

25. Now THAT's funny!

:rofl:

[ralps]

11. Hi Patsy! Hi Everyone! Happy Thurber day!!

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

[SeattleGirl]

19. Hi ralps!

This is still one of my fave cat gifs:

[Berry Cool]

31. That's a great one!

Love it!

[Berry Cool]

38. Oh, and SG, I wanted to add about last night's animated kitty

that that's the ONLY way my Harley drinks anything. She scoops water out of the dish onto her paw and eats it. She'll also tip the whole thing over unless I make sure it's untippable. I've had rivers run through many a kitchen in my day.

[SeattleGirl]

39. Really? That's pretty cute (minus the rivers running through

the kitchen!)

[ralps]

74. Hi SeattleGirl!!! Thanks for the monorail kitty gif!

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

[SeattleGirl]

78. You're most welcome!

[bleever]

84. Good one!

LOL.

[RevCheesehead]

26. Happy Thurber Day to you, Happy Thurber Day to you,

Happy Thurber Day, dear ralps and Crook! :hi: and :meow:

[ralps]

76. Hi GigiMommy! & Cassie! Hugs

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

[SeattleGirl]

13. My Twitter teabaggers have been cracking me up today.

They're really coming at me, and I just respond by laughing at them, and such. The more I do that, the more incoherent they get. One of them accused me of "URINATING ON JESUS'S FACE!!"

What? :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[RevCheesehead]

27. They can't say "piss."

But I can! :evilgrin:

[SeattleGirl]

28. Hahaha! Yes you can, dear Rev!

[rocktivity]

14. Did Rush Limbaugh just say that if you challenge him on the facts

that you'll be wrong?

:rofl:
rocktivity

[SeattleGirl]

20. He sure did!

:rofl:

[bleever]

16. I think Keef is missing a hat in the OP's photo.

[Patsy Stone]

30. I think you're right:

As Joel McHale would say, "I'm a boat captain!"

[bleever]

40. Now that

is a ridiculous sight.

[Patsy Stone]

44. Don't worry

He has no idea where he is.

[RevCheesehead]

81. Is that Hef or the infamous Mr. Gabor?

:shrug:

[Patsy Stone]

95. Hef

at his -- ahem -- 83rd birthday. Oy.

[RevCheesehead]

97. All I can say is

"Thank God he has Viagra."

[Berry Cool]

33. Welcome to The Love Boat, starring Keith as Your Ship's Captain.

Or the Ty-D-Bol man.

[bleever]

50. .

:rofl:

[Botany]

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

Thurber is from Columbus, OH too

[Patsy Stone]

36. I won't tell the others

you know how they can get. :hi:

[Botany]

37. Tell me about it

Wisconsin EDVs :scared:

[GigiMommy]

[Patsy Stone]

43. Please take note: Tomorrow is Record Store Day

http://www.recordstoreday.com/Home

Please, go buy something from them.

Thank you.

[Berry Cool]

56. Gotta love how on Keith's show you can see an ad for reducing our oil dependence

followed immediately by an ad for an oil company.

[Botany]

48. What is a volcano?

A mountain that made an ash out of it's self.

[bleever]

55. Hey, it's Opie Taylor!

Andy must be so proud.

[Berry Cool]

59. "Paw, now gay partners can visit each other in the hospital!"

I was just waiting for Keith to say "This woman is an idiot" again. Honestly, he claims to despise Sarah Palin but he has to have her on every show or he feels deprived.

[GigiMommy]

89. Hi Guys!!!

You're my FAVS!!!:hi: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce:

[bleever]

93. Hi Gigi!

Happy weekend to you and Cassie!

[SeattleGirl]

57. Sarah Palin is an idiot!

And a hypocrite!

[Botany]

62. The Girl and the Wolf

< The Girl and the Wolf >

by James Thurber (1939)


ne afternoon a big wolf waited in a dark forest for a little girl to come along carrying a basket of food to her grandmother. Finally a little girl did come along and she was carrying a basket of food. "Are you carrying that basket to your grandmother?" asked the wolf. The little girl said yes, she was. So the wolf asked her where her grandmother lived and the little girl told him and he disappeared into the wood.
When the little girl opened the door of her grandmother's house she saw that there was somebody in bed with a nightcap on. She had approached no nearer than twenty-five feet from the bed when she saw that it was not her grandmother but the wolf, for even in a nightcap a wolf does not look any more like your grandmother than the Metro-Goldwyn lion looks like Calvin Coolidge. So the little girl took an automatic out of her basket and shot the wolf dead.



Moral: It is not so easy to fool little girls nowadays as it used to be.

[RevCheesehead]

98. Wow - they had EDV's even back then!

Color me impressed. :)

[SeattleGirl]

63. Wow, those VW "slug bug" commercials seem to be teetering

on downright meanness. When I played slug bug, we just did playful fake slugs, but the people in that commercial look like they left bruises on the folks they slugged. :scared:

[Patsy Stone]

66. I think I'm the only person in the world

who had no idea what that was.

[ralps]

72. Today's worst person in the world is Boss Limpballs!! for lying again about the Unions

working at the Upper Big Branch Mine! :hi: :loveya: :hug: :pals: :woohoo: :wow:

[Berry Cool]

79. "Pardon me for this sandwich."

:rofl:

Don't feel bad, Pats. I only heard of "Slug Bug" aka "Punch Buggy" or "Punch Dub" a few years ago myself. Never played it as a kid. And VW is really stretching it to fit their campaign; the whole idea apparently is, only Beetles count.

[SeattleGirl]

83. Story time!

:bounce: :bounce:

[Berry Cool]

102. OMG, Bot thinks he's Keith

because he anticipated one of the stories Keith read!!!!!!!!!

How did you know???????????

Keith stripped of his jacket: :loveya: ahhhhh....KLUNKKKKKKKK
