[rocktivity]

LOL!

Dead silence--I thought there was a production screwup. Then Keith awkwardly wanders into the shot: "Oh...Hello..."

:headbang:

31. Sounds like you need several, RC!

:toast:

[RavensChick]

39. Nah, just one for now.

The last few days had everyone reaching for the booze with what happened, but Keith's back so all is right with the world!

[nadine_mn]

Go grab a drink upthread! :hi:

[Patsy Stone]

15. Don't mind if I do!

:toast: and thanks. My exclamation point is not working well this evening. So, if I don't sound excited about something, I am. :)

[SeattleGirl]

19. Look at your post title. I think I see an exclamation point there!

[Patsy Stone]

35. It took about five tries.

I'm just not that intent on being exclamatory. :)

[greenmutha]

4. *Excellent* opening!

Welcome back, Keef! :loveya:

[SeattleGirl]

8. I loved it!

Hi green! :hi:

a few of them would be mysteriously disappearing. :hide:

[Patsy Stone]

18. Nice picture, gm

:hi:

[greenmutha]

27. Thanks... but (shhh)...

I "borrowed" it from somewhere... and now I can't remember who I lifted it from. (Shame on me.) I wasn't planning to ever use it. It just seemed SO appropriate for tonight.

[Patsy Stone]

56. Bob's your uncle.

BTW: I'm taking it from you.

[greenmutha]

60. Have at it! :-)

I can't stop staring at it... his expression is so YUMMY!

[RevCheesehead]

123. I'm gonna have to steal that!

Adding it to my photobucket account! :)

[greenmutha]

127. I couldn't resist, either.

I do wish I had made note of which DUer I stole it from though... I'm not sure if they made it or it's advertising from MSNBC, but I would like to give credit where credit is due. :blush:

[RavensChick]

28. I love that!

That says it all.

:hi:

[Berry Cool]

6. I had a feeling he'd mess with us!!

Then he came slinking onto the stage. :rofl: :hi:

[RavensChick]

:hi:

[Patsy Stone]

50. Are they still in the replacement studio?

I'm watching online and I'm trying to figure out if those are the flags or a bunch of happy fans below waving banners.

[bettyellen]

143. Im pretty sure those are the flags around the skating rink at Rockerfeller Ctr

Hi Pats!

[Graybeard]

45. Yay! Keith's back.

Hi everybody.:hi: Nice work getting

300,000+ signatures on the petition.

The people, yes, the people.

:applause: :woohoo: :applause:

[SeattleGirl]

51. Hi Graybeard! Glad you're here for the party!

Don't forget to grab a drink upthread! :hi:

54. Michael Moore is going to have a thing or two to say

about a thing or two.

So, are Keith and Jon going to bring this to a PPV Cage Match soon, or what?

[GigiMommy]

62. Hi Patsy!!!

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

[Patsy Stone]

73. Hola, GG

:bounce: I'm happy to see you, but I'm exclamation point-less at the moment.

[Berry Cool]

63. I know this will sound uncharitable, but I have to say,

I think Michael Moore has to be one of the few people in the world who can make Keith look tiny by comparison.

[Berry Cool]

71. I'm sure 127 Hours is a great movie, but I can't go to see it

I'd be one of the people passing out that they'd have to carry from the theater.

[RavensChick]

66. Good advice he gave Keith on the contributions.

A cage match would be the event of the century!!!!!

:popcorn: Time to stock up now!

[RavensChick]

68. Chris Hayes up next!!!!!

That's gonna be awesome!!!

[Patsy Stone]

72. This whole show is making me smile.

:hi:, rc

[RavensChick]

78. Me too!

I haven't had this much fun on a Tuesday night in ages!

:hi:

[Patsy Stone]

69. "Wish I were in the book."

Oh, Keith. Now you're just fired up and ready to go, ain't ya? YAY :loveya:

[RavensChick]

74. You know it!!!

:patriot:

[SeattleGirl]

75. Well, he has several days of pent-up growling to get out,

and I'm sure Phil added a lot of heat to the fire! :evilgrin:

[RevCheesehead]

76. Holy Mother of God!!! What the HELL has been going on here???

Keith's on, Keith's off, Keith's back on...
Last time I run off and get married and bring back the ORANGE CAT!!! :bounce::bounce:

You people can't survive without me. :)

:hi:

[greenmutha]

79. Rev!

:hug: :loveya:

Congratulations on your marriage! (See what happens when ya stop hanging out around here? Ya miss all the HAPPY stuff too.)

(edited to clarify: I didn't mean stop hanging out with youse guys... I meant DU in general.) :scared:

[RevCheesehead]

84. well, we've sure missed YOU!!

Glad we're both back here together again! :hug::loveya:

[greenmutha]

99. I've really missed "all y'all" too.

I promise to check in more often in the future.

(My life's been one cosmic drama after another for far too long. I've been overwhelmed and generally hiding out from the world for a long time now.)

But threatening Keef's position on Countdown? :mad: OH HELL NO! :mad: That woke me up with guns a'blazing!

[RavensChick]

130. I've had drama too, so trust me, you're not alone.

Thankfully coming here was (and still is) a great stress reliever!

Please come by when you can! There's always room in the Clubhouse!

[greenmutha]

133. Thanks RavensChick... and I agree...

DU *can* be a haven in times of stress. :grouphug:

[RavensChick]

80. REV!!!!!!

The blushing bride returns!!!!! Hi, hon!!!!! How are you and your hubby?

:hi: :hi: :hi:

[RevCheesehead]

87. RC!!!

We're good! And the whole damned fur family is finally together again!!

:hi: :hug:

[RavensChick]

89. Awwww! That's wonderful!

I'm sorry I didn't get a chance to wish you and Andy well but I was extremely busy for the last few weeks (at work mostly), so I want to take this opportunity to say Congratulations and may you both be blessed always!!!!

:hug: :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug:

[RevCheesehead]

101. Thanks so much, Raven!

We are still taking it all in. We both have been though hell and back, and now that things are settled down, we can't believe how incredibly blessed we are. We have each other, we have our "family" back together, we are becoming financially secure (thanks, Mom & Dad!), and the whole world is out there! :hug::hug::hug::hug::hug:

[Patsy Stone]

81. "Jesus Christ, that's a big statue!"

:rofl:

We could have told you that. But everything's okay now. :hug: :bounce:

[RevCheesehead]

88. Things sure look better today, don't they?

And I think Jesus is just a tad embarassed by that, don't you? "Mom, please, really...."

:hi: :hug::loveya:

[SeattleGirl]

82. Hey, it's the beautiful bride!

Hi ya, Rev! How was the wedding? Is CC okay? Ain't it great that KO's back?

(Yeah, yeah, I'm a kettle of questions, but what the heck?)

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

[RevCheesehead]

92. Where?

Huh? Oh yeah!
1. It was terrifically fabulous and the reception was lots of fun. All my friends said "this is SO Ruth!" :)
2. CC is busy chasing li'l Keith around the apartment, up and down the stairs. Things are back to normal!
3. I am so relieved. I didn't know what I'd do without this group! :hug:

:hi::loveya:

[SeattleGirl]

96. Silly wabbit!

You know you are the beautiful bride!

I'm so sorry I couldn't be there for the wedding, but I'm so glad you had lots of fun! And I don't think CC could have timed the return of the prodigal cat any better! And we couldn't do without you either! :loveya:

[RevCheesehead]

106. I haven't taken the disposable cameras to WalMart yet...

and it will be a couple of weeks before the photographer has her stuff ready - but once it is, Photobucket, here I come!!

I think CC's return was engineered by my Mom & Dad. The ultimate gift!

:loveya:

[RavensChick]

98. You got the best wedding present of all:

CC is back home! I was so thankful and overwhelmed when I read that!

Raven and I are so happy for you!

[RevCheesehead]

109. How IS li'l Raven?

Growing, no doubt!
Seriously, I think when CC saw Keith, he didn't recognize him at first, because he's so huge!
:hug:

[RavensChick]

122. He's seven months old and yes, he's growing

by leaps and bounds! He's been running around in the living room since I came home and logged on, so he's getting more active and is eating very well! He's been doing pretty good since he got neutered so all is well with the little fella!

Besides, he outgrew the carrier I had him in so I went to Pet Smart last month and got a bigger one. So far so good but I have a feeling he's gonna need another one before long!

So, he's not so little these days but it's all good!

Once I upload some more pics in Photobucket I'll post them! I'm gonna get a little Santa hat for him this Christmas (oh, my baby's first Christmas :cry: ) and my brother is dying to see his little four-legged nephew!

More to come, I promise!

[GigiMommy]

110. Congratulations!!!

:hug:

[GigiMommy]

83. 'hic' It's a PARTY!!! Hiya Rev, hic!

How are ya, Gigi? I've been thinking of you and Cassie this past week. :hug::hug::hug:

[GigiMommy]

115. Rev!!! We've made through the first year.

I think it's harder on me than Cassie but that's fine. We're still here. Thank you so much.:hug: :hug: :hug:

[RevCheesehead]

118. I just want both of you to know

how much I love you and believe in you. :hug::loveya::hug:

Hi, Bot!!! Glad to see ya!

The real fun is right here seeing Keith back where he belongs!

:hi:

[Botany]

93. i watch a little when countdown was on break

[GigiMommy]

105. Hi Botany!!!

Nooooooo! Don't show that yet. I gotta get the ****blower ready first.:hi: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :rofl:

[RavensChick]

136. I'm not ready either!

I'm still getting the snow from last winter's blizzard out of my head! I was hoping to be down south right about now so I'm gonna have to endure one more winter in the DC area before I move!

[RevCheesehead]

117. I'm really sorry I can't see the picture.

I'm sure I'd have some witty retort pertaining to it.
So now I'm stuck with making a tacky menstruation joke instead.

[RavensChick]

126. Where on earth did you find that?

That's me in a nutshell!

Whoever came up with the slogan "Have a Happy Period" ought to be slapped, tarred, feathered, AND horsewhipped!

[RevCheesehead]

128. Teh Google.....ain't it great?

I googled "Have a Happy Period."
And I agree. Somewhere, I got an email about an angry customer who wrote to Always about their new slogan... it's a hoot!!

[greenmutha]

131. The Leo Burnett advertising agency...

Here ya go, slap away!

http://www.advertolog.com/p-g/adverts/have-a-happy-period-always-7530255/

:smoke:

[RevCheesehead]

132. Found it!!!!

Sorry it's so long, but well worth it!!

This is an letter from an Austin woman sent to American company Proctor and Gamble regarding their feminine products. She really gets rolling after the first paragraph.

Dear Mr.Thatcher,

I have been a loyal user of your ’Always’ maxi pads for over 20 years and I appreciate many of their features. Why, without the LeakGuard Core or Dri-Weave absorbency, I’d probably never go horseback riding or salsa dancing, and I’d certainly steer clear of running up and down the beach in tight, white shorts. But my favorite feature has to be your revolutionary Flexi-Wings. Kudos on being the only company smart enough to realize how crucial it is that maxi pads be aerodynamic. I can’t tell you how safe and secure I feel each month knowing there’s a little F-16 in my pants.

Have you ever had a menstrual period, Mr. Thatcher? Ever suffered from ’the curse’? I’m guessing you haven’t. Well, my time of the month is starting right now. As I type, I can already feel hormonal forces violently surging through my body. Just a few minutes from now, my body will adjust and I’ll be transformed into what my husband likes to call ’an inbred hillbilly with knife skills.

’ Isn’t the human body amazing?

As Branch Manager in the Feminine-Hygiene Division, you’ve no doubt seen quite a bit of research on what exactly happens during your customers’ monthly visits from ’Aunt Flo’. Therefore, you must know about the bloating, puffiness, and cramping we endure, and about our intense mood swings, crying jags, and out-of-control behavior. You surely realize it’s a tough time for most women.

In fact, only last week, my friend Jennifer fought the violent urge to shove her boyfriend’s testicles into a George Foreman Grill just because he told her he thought Grey’s Anatomy was written by drunken chimps! Crazy!

The point is, sir, you of all people must realize that America is just crawling with homicidal maniacs in Capri pants... Which brings me to the reason for my letter. Last month, while in the throes of cramping so painful I wanted to reach inside my body and yank out my uterus, I opened an Always maxi-pad, and there, printed on the adhesive backing, were these words: ’Have a Happy Period.

Are you f***ing kidding me? What I mean is, does any part of your tiny middle-manager brain really think happiness - actual smiling, laughing happiness is possible during a menstrual period? Did anything mentioned above sound the least bit pleasurable? Well, did it, James?? FYI, unless you’re some kind of sick S&M freak, there will never be anything ’happy’ about a day in which you have to jack yourself up on Motrin and Kahlua and lock yourself in your house just so you don’t march down to the local Walgreen’s armed with a hunting rifle and a sketchy plan to end your life in a blaze of glory.

For the love of God, pull your head out, man! If you just have to slap a moronic message on a maxi pad, wouldn’t it make more sense to say something that’s actually pertinent, like ’Put down the Hammer’ or ’Vehicular Manslaughter is Wrong’, or are you just picking on us?

Sir, please inform your Accounting Department that, effective immediately, there will be an $8 drop in monthly profits, for I have chosen to take my maxi-pad business elsewhere. And though I will certainly miss your Flex-Wings, I will not for one minute miss your brand of condescending bullshit. And that’s a promise I will keep. Always.


Best,
xxxxx

[greenmutha]

134. "I can’t tell you how safe and secure I feel each month knowing there’s a little F-16 in my pants."

OMG... I'm crying I'm laughing so hard!

[RevCheesehead]

135. Told ya it was a keeper!

Copy and send to all your friends - they will thank you for it! :rofl:

[RavensChick]

140. I just copied it!

My boss will be howling when she reads it! Thanks!

[RevCheesehead]

141. my pleasure!

My friend who sent it to me got "Have a happy period" stickers from somewhere. She attaches them to bills that she hates to pay. No kidding. :evilgrin:

[greenmutha]

138. OMG... That letter is PRICELESS!

Thanks Rev. I haven't laughed that hard in years!

(Further proof positive that it is indeed stress-relieving to be here.)

((((((insert giant hug smiley here))))))

[RavensChick]

139. That is hilarious!!!!!!

That IS a keeper! Thanks for sharing!

The way I am during "that time", I know how she feels.

"F-16"!! I'm gonna remember that one!!!

met to plan an Iraqi war in Dec. 2000 @ the Pentagon ..... Bib woodward's
book.
