KOEB Meeting: 07/12/10 -- Cap's Lock Edition

[Patsy Stone]

:hi:, y'all! I don't see oil... Are they just not showing me the oil still leaking above? Or could this actually be it?

Who knew the solution to your iPhone 4's problems was duct tape all along? Paging MacGyver!

[SeattleGirl]

1. Hi Patsy!

I was thinking about getting an iPhone, as Verizon is going to start offering them, but I'm really not willing to have to spend extra for the duct tape! :rofl:

How was the Antiques Roadshow?

:hi:

[Patsy Stone]

2. A whole lot of fun, thanks!

That's how they get you: with the duct tape! I hadn't heard about that fine for feeding the homeless, so I was checking the Herald and New Times, and I still don't see anything. That's dumb.

:hi:, SG!

[SeattleGirl]

4. Glad you had fun!

I must have tuned out for a second: a find for feeding the homeless? :wow:

[Patsy Stone]

7. That's what he said

Miami, a $300 fine for feeding the homeless. That's all I caught.

[SeattleGirl]

8. That's ridiculous!

I've fed the homeless. Nobody forced me. If I have nothing to give, I tell them, and go on my way. I don't understand why this should be a crime, especially these days when so many people have lost so much!

[Patsy Stone]

9. I don't know where he heard it

but I'm sure he has better sources than the Google, so I'm eager to hear the rest of the story.

It was a long day, but the task we were assigned was very cool. Basically, we had to watch the whole thing on a monitor and headphones and take notes for the publicist on the appraisals. Aside from the 12 hours, it was like a marathon viewing of the show, unedited, with added hand cramps. Do you have any idea how long it's been since I've written that much by hand in a single day? LOL.

[SeattleGirl]

10. Wow, I can't imagine writing for that long!

Plus, my handwriting has deteriorated so much over the years, I wouldn't be able to read what I wrote!

[Patsy Stone]

14. I realized

I now think faster than I can write by hand and I've forgotten how to form cursive letters in rapid succession. :)

[SeattleGirl]

16. Same here. I can type hella fast, and much prefer that to

handwriting.

[Botany]

3. please put a cap on it

the extra tip is the key

[Patsy Stone]

5. Ribbed?

:hi:

[SeattleGirl]

6. Up to your usual tricks I see.

:rofl:

:hi:

[ralps]

[rocktivity]

17. To paraphrase Jon Stewart paraphrasing Carly Simon

the AZ "Papers Please" lawsuit song isn't about Obama.

State laws which violate federal laws are unconstitutional by default. No American president--regardless of race or party--can allow challenges to federal authority. Turning it into a referendum on either or Obama or a band of scaredy-cat governors is just more partisan media kabuki.

:headbang:

[Patsy Stone]

25. And that's the truth.

20. Hiya, GG!

Happy Monday! :bounce::bounce:

[GigiMommy]

24. Hi Patsy!!!

Happy Monday to you too!!! Is there a "LeBron-a-thon" weekend hangover going on at South Beach!?!

[Patsy Stone]

29. There was a big embarrassing thing on Friday night

at the American Airlines Arena, and then everyone moved on to the World Cup. :)

[GigiMommy]

33. ...

:rofl:

[rocktivity]

27. I hope that bear is a SAG/AFTRA member by now.

:rofl:

[Patsy Stone]

22. Well, if the head of FreedomWorks doesn't see any racism

in the Tea Party, I guess that's good enough for me.

[rocktivity]

31. It's easy to not see racism

if you don't look for it.

:headbang:

[SeattleGirl]

36. I had my eyes opened a few years ago, during my neighborhood

caucus (I think it was 2004).

I live in a very racially mixed area, and the caucus reflected that. When we broke up into smaller groups to discuss things, two of the people in the group were blacks in their late 60's. The polling place here is in a low-income apartment building, which is always locked. On voting day, if someone isn't standing at the door inside to let people in, you have to try to catch the attention of someone inside.

To me, it's an inconvenience and somewhat irritating. To this couple, it was a barrier to voting. They understood why the building would be locked; many of the apartment buildings in Seattle are. What they couldn't understand is why in a neighborhood like ours, the county would put the polling place into a building that locks people out, instead of in the library, which is just two blocks away.

I had not seen it that way, but after they spoke up, I did.

[SeattleGirl]

23. I'd like to know how the Tea Party reconciles their "We're not

racists" with the fact that some of them are buying t-shirts that say, "Yup, I'm a racist." :grr:

[Patsy Stone]

Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain.

:crazy:

[SeattleGirl]

26. Melissa Harris-Lacewell is just amazing to listen to.

[Patsy Stone]

28. Another class I'd like to audit.

One day I will win the lottery.

[SeattleGirl]

30. I'd love to take her class, too.

My understanding of the things she talks about has grown a lot, but still, to take a class from her would be fantastic!

[Patsy Stone]

32. The Black Helicopter/Black Panther c-o-n-spriacy thing

is a classic.

[GigiMommy]

34. Did he say "moral FORESKIN"!!?!!

:rofl:

[Patsy Stone]

40. Maybe

or "moral force in him." But I like yours so much better, so let's go with that. :rofl:

[ralps]

35. Today's worst person in the world is Sen. John Kyl! for saying you should

never raise taxes to cut taxes! :hi: :loveya: :hug: :pals: :woohoo: :wow: :wtf:

[GigiMommy]

38. Hi Ralps!!! I didn't know stupidity had to be a characteristic

for becoming a United States Senator. I missed that in Civics class.:hi: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce:

[ralps]

39. Hi GigiMommy! & Cassie! Hugs

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

[Patsy Stone]

37. Oh, Marc Sarnoff...

You are an idiot. Of course it was the Miami City Commission. You'll never find a more wretched hive of scum and villainy.

[GigiMommy]

42. Where's "Twilight Zone" when we need it.

He needs to wake up curled up on the sand in last week's clothes with a grumbling belly.

[Patsy Stone]

43. H's just thinking of their well-being

and he's concerned about their health. :eyes:

[SeattleGirl]

41. Wow, this guy on with Keith now is the epitome of a techno geek!

:rofl:

[Patsy Stone]

44. I think the word

is Poindexter.

Have a nice night! :hi:

[GigiMommy]

45. Night everyone!!!

Take care!:hug: :hi:
