KOEB Meeting: 05/14/10 -- Still Gushing Into the Gulf Edition

[Patsy Stone]

:hi:, everyone! Happy Friday!

[bleever]

1. I've been trying

to come up with a good thread title, without success.

:hi:

[Patsy Stone]

2. This was my problem, too.

In fact, I just changed it a little. :hi: Happy Friday!

[SeattleGirl]

3. Hi Patsy and bleev! Shabbot Shazzam and a Happy Friday!

:hi:

[Patsy Stone]

4. Happy Friday to you, too!

:toast:

[Berry Cool]

9. Happy Friday and Shabbat Shazam, kids!

:hi: I do like that pic. Anyone have trouble getting to DU tonight? I did.

[Patsy Stone]

12. No, ma'am.

:hi: And glad you made it. :)

[Berry Cool]

15. Maybe my Internets signal was weak.

Happy to be here now.

[Patsy Stone]

17. "We Are Lebron"

:rofl:

sorry, ed. fat fingers

[Berry Cool]

28. Don't even USE that name with me today,

I am serious. Right now he's about as popular in this town as Art Modell.

[Patsy Stone]

33. I'll bet that's right.

Sorry. :hug:

It's a good thing you don't live down here. That's all our sports teams do. Bring in the big stars who never do what they're paid to do, and then they leave. Or they have the next big star and won't pay to keep them here. It's an age old tale.

[GigiMommy]

50. I'm not even certain I'll HAVE a basketball team here.

:hi: Hi Patsy!!!:bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce:

[Patsy Stone]

65. Why?

I admit, I haven't been paying attention to the Pistons. :hi:

:bounce: to Cassie!

[GigiMommy]

74. Bill Davidson's widow isn't the basketball fan that her husband was.

She already got rid of the WNBA team, Detroit Shock. Now we're wondering if they will still play in Auburn Hills or move to Downtown Detroit or maybe somewhere else.

[Patsy Stone]

84. Ah.

Oh. Boo.

Then I will wish you the best. :hug:

[Berry Cool]

76. Yeah, but at least Florida teams sometimes win.

To remember when Cleveland last won a true modern-day national title, you now have to be at least 65 or so. Cleveland sports fans have all sports fans beat for misery. Even Cubs fans at least know what it's like for their city to win another championship.

[SeattleGirl]

18. Hi Berry! I didn't have an trouble getting on DU today.

:hi:

[bleever]

6. I like this guy's brooch.

Bold statement, along with the bow tie.

:hi:

[RevCheesehead]

5. A bow tie AND a bicycle pin?

How about a sign that says "I'm a geek, kick me" instead? :evilgrin:

:hi: Hi Patsy! Hi everyone!

[Patsy Stone]

7. LOL

Is there a pocket protector missing a pocket somewhere, I wonder?

:hi:

[RevCheesehead]

10. I keep wondering if his name is "Mr. Slick".

:hi:

[Patsy Stone]

16. No.

It's "Mr. Dork". :)

[bleever]

8. GMTA.

:hi:

[RevCheesehead]

20. Indeed.

:rofl:
:hi:

[Berry Cool]

13. Hey Rev, you up to a phone call tonight?

I thought we might catch up, but it depends on your social life. :-)

[RevCheesehead]

23. Andy gets here at 11:15 (central time)...

I'm all yours up until then. :D

[Berry Cool]

30. Gee, thanks!

Wonder why he's coming over so late... :evilgrin:

[SeattleGirl]

19. Hi Rev!

Happy Friday to you! :hi:

[RevCheesehead]

24. Hi SG!

And a Happy Friday to you, too! :hi:

[ralps]

11. Hi Patsy! Hi Everyone! & Here's a Kitty gif I got from Seattlegirl!

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

[RevCheesehead]

29. Poor kitty doesn't know what's coming up next on TV....

:hi: Hi ralps and :meow: Crook!

[ralps]

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

Yep! :hi: :loveya: :hug: :pals: :woohoo: :hug:

[Berry Cool]

34. OMG, I almost forgot the Japanese girls with pork chops on their heads.

And it all had something to do with Santa Claus.

[SeattleGirl]

14. I hope to hell the Justice Dept. DOES go after BP AND Haliburton

for this mess and for the loss of lives and jobs.

They've gotten away with crap for far too long.

[Patsy Stone]

21. Lawrence O'Donnell and Mike Papantonio

were talking about the possibility of manslaughter charges. Someone lawyerly should definitely look into that, if you ask me.

[SeattleGirl]

25. I saw that today. I bet Mike IS looking into it.

[Patsy Stone]

27. I hope he is.

I really do.

[Berry Cool]

22. Yeah, I wanna see Cheney and BP swing for this.

And I'm so glad Obama has started using some serious harsh rhetoric against the GOP, because it's about time! I like it!

[SeattleGirl]

26. "NO! You can't drive!"

Well said, Mr. President! :applause:

[bleever]

32. It was a good day for Obama quotes.

The way he called out the blame-shifting games of the CEOs was also great.

[SeattleGirl]

35. Agreed!

[Berry Cool]

36. Maybe Obama has finally learned that you can't find bipartisan middle ground

with people who have sworn to oppose to a man ANYTHING you try to do!! :grr:

[Berry Cool]

41. Keith wants to ride a Back to the Future hoverboard!

He has also settled on a new nickname for Sister Sarah: Miss Bendy Straws.

[Patsy Stone]

37. O/T: Lin Yu Chun signs deal with Sony Music

C'mon, you knew it was coming.

http://www.guardian.co.uk/music/2010/may/14/lin-yu-chun-sony-record-deal

[Berry Cool]

42. And now weeeeeeee will always love Yuuuuuuuuuu...

[bleever]

44. Further O/T:

Total Eclipse of the Heart duet with Shatner: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a_zYD3aekbk

[Berry Cool]

52. I have to check that out.

Love the Darth Vader McCain video.

[Patsy Stone]

59. I thought you already watched it

But the thought of it must have scared you too much at the time. I can certainly understand. :D

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_topic&forum=315&topic_id=161905#161927

[Patsy Stone]

54. I know, right? :)

That was an instant classic. :thumbsup:

[SharonRB]

38. Hi, everyone

Just got here -- Nancy was on Bill-O, so I was over there watching that first. She did a great job. I like that Bill has her on with another Democrat most of the time. She doesn't have to deal with four Repukes shouting over her.

[SeattleGirl]

39. Hi Sharon! Feeling better today?

:hi:

[SharonRB]

43. Finally!

I still didn't go to work out, but my head felt better sometime this afternoon. I got out of the house and went to Target and Staples to buy stuff to help me set up my office. Then I spent the afternoon putting things away and getting organized. I'm almost there. Should be all organized tomorrow and then just need for my computer to arrive.

[SeattleGirl]

45. Cool! Glad you're getting things put together for your office.

And glad you're feeling a bit better today.

[Patsy Stone]

40. Hi!

How's your head?

Did you see this? http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=389x8337980

[SharonRB]

46. It's finally better.

I was offline all day getting organized, so I haven't seen anything. Mike Rogers (this Mike Rogers as opposed to the other Mike Rogers) is a total jerk.

[GigiMommy]

80. Didn't hear what happened but...

I hope you're feeling better.:hi: :hug:

[Patsy Stone]

90. Isn't this the guy

Nancy ran against?

[SharonRB]

94. Nope.

Different district. Nancy ran against Joe Knollenberg and then Gary Peters beat him in 2008. She was supposed to have a primary against Peters, but she got forced out of the race and it never got that far.

[Patsy Stone]

95. Gary Peters

That was who I thought this guy was. Still, this guy's an ass.

[bleever]

47. "It's immoral, it's unethical, it isn't right..."

"Also too, it's wrong, it's bad to do, it's not something we should do, nor is it something that would be correct if we do do it."

[SeattleGirl]

48. You betcha!

:crazy:

[Patsy Stone]

49. And all that

(also, too) fit on her palm!

[RevCheesehead]

51. You said "do do"

:)

[Botany]

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

Bay Air Do Do

[bleever]

63. I can't compete with that.

BTW, is the Pope Catholic? I'm not so sure anymore.

[RevCheesehead]

64. Reminds me of my Mom...

"Can't I at least have a little privacy, please?"

:hi: Hi Cuddles! How ya doin'?

[Botany]

70. How ya doin'?

Bad ..... my water line into my house is leaking so I get to spend $$$$$ to get it dug up and a new
one put in.

[RevCheesehead]

72. That sucks.

At least you have indoor plumbing. You're not using "Joe," are you? :scared:

[Patsy Stone]

75. ...

[Patsy Stone]

73. Booooo.

Sorry, Bot. That sucks. :(

[Botany]

88. I have a nice new little water feature by my front garden

:eyes:

[Patsy Stone]

89. Do you still have running water?

[Botany]

93. Yes but it will have to be shut off soon

I hope I can get it fixed next week.

[Patsy Stone]

96. Me. too.

Good luck with all of it.

[Botany]

55. that women is an idiot

all those big nasty debts ..... like the $200,000 / minute borrowed from China to run an unneeded war in Iraq?




I wonder if she really knows what she is saying?

[GigiMommy]

53. Hi Everybody!!! Happy Friday!!!

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

[SeattleGirl]

56. Happy Friday, Gigi!

:hug: :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug: to you and Miss Cassie!

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

[GigiMommy]

67. Hi SG!!!

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

I talked to Cassie and she says, "Broccoli!".

[SeattleGirl]

68. All righty then!

Broccoli it is! (I love broccoli too!)

[Berry Cool]

57. Hi, GGM and Cassie!

:hi: We got quite the group here tonight!

[GigiMommy]

77. Hi Berry!!!

Sorry 'bout last night.:hi: :hug: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce:

[Berry Cool]

87. Thanks, GGM.

:hug:

[Patsy Stone]

60. Oh, Linda McMahon...

Ti-MING!

[bleever]

61. Sparta, Wisconsin!

One end of the Elroy-Sparta bike trail, upon which I have ridden!

Awesome ex-railway with long, unlit tunnels with water dripping down the walls in the pitch black.

Something I'll remember long after I've forgotten my name and address.

[RevCheesehead]

86. Well, it is "God's Country."

Sparta = lovely.
Elroy = home of Tommy Thompson. Ewwww.

[ralps]

62. Today's worst person in the world is Sen. James Imhofe! for not wanting to repeal

DADT!! & for being a Homophobe! :hi: :loveya: :hug: :pals: :woohoo: :wow:

[Botany]

66. Thurber Time!

[Patsy Stone]

69. A nice way to end the week.

:hi:

[Botany]

78. This helps too

[Patsy Stone]

81. Shhhhh.

Don't tell the others.

Thanks, I needed that. :loveya:

[CBHagman]

92. Hey, did you bring enough for the rest of the class?

'cause I've got the wine.

:9

[bleever]

71. Botany is Keef's fave.

Columbus shout-out.

[Berry Cool]

82. Note Thurber expected WIVES to clean out the medicine cabinet.

Hey, guys, you have two hands, too!

[Botany]

83. Thurber is from Columbus

[Patsy Stone]

79. styptic pencil

Not a phrase you hear everyday.

[SeattleGirl]

85. This story is cracking me up!

[Berry Cool]

91. I love how many Thurber stories are about just having dumb stuff happen to you

and being embarrassed to death and not knowing how to get out of it.

:hi: Happy weekend, all!
