RevCheesehead's Countdown to 10,000

[RevCheesehead]

With this post, I will need exactly 10 more to reach 10,000.
Considering that at least 5,000 of those posts were in this group (and how many hundred to Sparky?), I thought it fitting to do my own personal Countdown to 10,000.

I will exercise the utmost restraint, and only post here until I hit the milestone. Who knows? Maybe Keith will show up!
Would you join me? :loveya:

1. love to.

I thought I was coming up on a milestone, myself, but I seem to have rolled right over 3,000 without even noticing.

[RevCheesehead]

2. why did I suspect that you'd be the first to respond?

GK, you bring me laughter and joy. Your snark-o-meter is matched only by the Kahuna's himself. Thanks for being a part of the KOEB!
:hug:

5. 'cause I'm parked on this dinosaur the livelong day

engaged in mortal combat with codezilla? Ah, but I've invented an errand which simply must be run right away, so I guess I'll have to get in my car and drive around for the next hour or so. Gosh, is the Dan Patrick show on? O8)

[crispini]

8. thanks for the reminder!

yay! it's Keef time!

now they're talking about 9.11 --- Dan doesn't want to compare 9.11 to KO as far as not playing games, K. points out they couldn't, says more accurate comparison is to Kennedy assassination.

[crispini]

9. wow, pete rosell story about making the call TO play

after Kennedy assassination, a guy punched rosell in the nose and rosell didn't do anything!

KO calling on people to play them as charity games.

edited to add: I can appreciate people wanting to take their minds off stuff, that's why work has been such a blessing for me this last week. So I guess I know where they're coming from.

[crispini]

3. why do I doubt your restraint?

:evilgrin: there's a punchline here somewhere....

[gkhouston]

4. because we know that the only one around here with restraint

is the cuff-mistress? :evilgrin: (hey, I'm low on my daily quota o' snarkiness.)

[WolverineDG]

6. cuz you're hoggin' the cuffs!!

:evilgrin:

dg

[RevCheesehead]

39. Now that's just too damned funny!

:rofl:

[WolverineDG]

69. thought you'd like it

now i'm rueing the decision to pass on buying the pink fur-lined handcuffs i came across in london...if anyone is going there, i can tell you where the store is so you can pick them up..... :evilgrin:

dg

[RevCheesehead]

7. I lose restraint only when Sparky's around.

and punchline = :spank:, doesn't it?

Crispi, you amazing woman. Your heart is matched only by your compassion and service to others. Cuffs or no cuffs, you represent what's right with the world, and I lurve ya. :hug:

[crispini]

10. awww... thanks sweetie!

:hug: right back atcha!

[CC]

11. Here's hoping Sparky

makes an appearance for your countdown. Here is an early congrats on 10 grand in case I am not here when you hit it. You are a rock to many of us.


In honor of Rev's 10,000 :loveya::loveya:KO :loveya::loveya:


KEEF

[RevCheesehead]

13. Ah, the lovely Ferrettessa!

My dear, you were a pillar of strength for me when Roo died. I cannot even begin to tell you how much that meant to me. How I wish I could have met Gizmo in this world - I will have to wait for the next world, knowing Giz and Roo are romping the fields together, and snarking with Keith from afar.

:hug: and much love!


Post #9993

[CC]

68. As you were for me with Gizmo.

Course both being so sick at the same time maybe we just leaned on each other. I am sure Gizzy is teaching Roo how to hide his paws hoping Roo will chase him. (The ferrets have a fetish for nipping cats paws, softly but so irritating to the cats). Blue is probably watching them and thinking they are nuts before he joins the chase.

[RevCheesehead]

71. Roo always enjoyed a good chase.

Oreo misses that, and Binky won't play along.

Look out, critter heaven - these guys are taking over!

[gkhouston]

72. "Roo always enjoyed a good chase"

ah, so it is true that pets resemble their people. Did Roo enjoy a good capture, as well?

:rofl:

And if critter heaven doesn't intersect with people heaven, I'm not interested.

[Gogi]

12. You and the Cards magic number 10!

Go! Rev! Go!:yourock:

[RevCheesehead]

14. Gogi, darling!

The woman who never lets anything stop her! Though your posts aren't nearly as many as the rest of us blabber-yaks, when you do post, you have something wonderful to share.

And I still contend, you will be the first in the group to meet Keith in real life!

:hug: and much love.

edit/ post #9994

[Gogi]

15. One can only hope!

Was going to make up some things for NO relief but now I ain't got no wheels. Donated money instead, it's just not as satisfying.

[gkhouston]

17. yeah, mostly 'cause he'd run like hell if he caught sight of the

rest of us. Gogi's almost normal.

:freak:

Gotta work on that...

[RevCheesehead]

16. Howard Dean is kicking major butt on CNN!

The President's policies are dismal. What does it say about an administration that doesn't care about 80% of the country, and only about the wealthiest 20%.

Howard is showing no mercy!!!


Post #9995

[crispini]

18. agreed!

floaties for Howard! :loveya:

[Muffstser]

19. Did ya hit 10,000, Revvie?

Wacky day. Jossip used nine of my items today, including my personal faves – the FEMA “rap song for kids” (no, I am NOT kidding), and the screen cap of Bush from Sky TV. As if that’s not enough insanity, I was hit on by my bus drive…who just happens to be around 60 years old! (What’s sad…I may go out with him. Yes, kiddies, my love life IS that dead.)

I ended up going to church at noontime, to light a candle at the altar they’ve set up in front of the Virgin Mary statute for the Katrina victims. It’s so beautiful, and really touching. As hokey as it sounds, I really felt God’s presence with me as I left. It was as though I could almost touch it. (Rev, at least you’ll get this.) Wonderful moment in a stress filled week.

Besides watching KO on Sunday, I’m having a friend of mine take my official “intern” photo for Jossip down at Safeco Field. There’s a big sculpture of a baseball mitt there, that I’m sure I can use as an inventive backdrop. Hey, our team may suck, but at least we have good public art.

Thanks to all of you for your humor, recaps from ESPN, and kindness. This has been a rough week for everyone. Hopefully, the smile will be coming back for all of us…and soon!

[RevCheesehead]

20. Not yet, but I'm getting close!

Everywhere I go, people are on "disaster burn-out." There's an overwhelming sense of helplessness, anger, and fear. People are searching for meaning, wondering if their own lives have significance.

I've been putting together the bulletin for Sunday - a combination of prayers for hurricane victims, and remembrance of 9/11. It was a labor of love - but I'm emotionally exhausted, just from assembling the worship together!

Muffy, dear - ever since you wandered into our midst, you have shown all the true characteristics of an EDV: snark, humor, keen observations, and able to engage in thought. If the KOEB were a scout troop, you would make a great troop leader!

:hug: and love!

[Berry Cool]

21. Congrats to the Cheese

I admit, I'm not even keeping track of my own posts... I'll probably not even notice when my next odometer turns.

[RevCheesehead]

22. Thanks, Berry!

Ever since you joined the KOEB, you have brought with you your own unique brand of snark! I am in amazement with your bredth of knowledge, your writing skills, and the ability to pick out the perfect picture of Keith for every occasion!

:hug: and love

[Patsy Stone]

25. You're up to 9998!

Let's talk about U2/Mary J. Blige performing in a gigantic empty statdium... Couldn't they have sold tickets for more money?

[RevCheesehead]

27. Patsy, dahling -

The woman with the keen sense of the world, able to discern what is and what is not important. For many weeks, I thought you were Patsy Stone, until I saw her on TV, and realized that you're much too kind-hearted.

That, and you can almost leap mattresses in an itty-bitty car. :evilgrin:

:hug: and much love, dear Patsella.


Post #9999!!

[Patsy Stone]

28. So effusive!

Thanks and (aw, shucks...) so kind of you to say. Able to get stuck on a mattress at the drop of a hat. Hey, that sounded kinda dirty. :evilgrin:

Congrats! I'm sure by now you've hit 10K. DU is a much better place because you're in it.

:loveya::loveya: :hug:

[Muffstser]

35. Aw, thanks, sweetie!

You remind me so much of my favorite pastor, Father Ward. He's such a character! He got into the priesthood after his wife passed away from cancer. So, at age 64, he restarted his life.

Because he's been out in the "real world", he was able to offer me wisdom, faith, and a goofy sense of humor. He did homilies on everything from the perils of dating to what space aliens would say if they came to earth, and talked about God. He's a total baseball junkie. But my fondest moment was when I asked him to play the role of God for my Sunday School class' Christmas spectacular. I'd scripted his lines to say "Buster Bunny, you are not alone." His take? "Yo, Buster! I'm here!" (Sadly, he retired due to poor health two years ago. But I asked today, and he's doing well!)

You have that same gift as Father Ward--kindness, compassion, and a goofy sense of humor. The people in your parish are blessed to have you!

Love ya, Muffster :)

[RevCheesehead]

36. Definately Goofy. Sometimes SpongeBob.

We're definately having a good time! :)

[Botany]

23. SUNDAY SUNDAY SUNDAY

SEE NITRO BURNING ESTRO SERMONS ........


THE WISCONSIN 10,000 ........ WATCH AS HER ESTRODOMETER HITS 10,000

WATCH HER REV HER ENGIN

SUNDAY SUNDAY SUNDAY

[RevCheesehead]

24. LOL!

Aw, Cuddles - what can I say, other than "Stephanie :loveya: Miller - she will be yours."

To the man who gave us Gull Bay, who loves each and every one of us as his favorite EDV, hell - who NAMED us as EDV's! Botany, your unique way with words will never fail to amuse, enlighten, and urge us to action. (and not all of it X-rated, either)

:hug: and love, Cuddles.

[SharonRB]

29. Congrats, Rev

Will your next post be the one?

What was meant above by watching KO on Sunday? Will he be on Sunday? And I totally forgot to listen to him and Dan this afternoon. I knew I would do that!

[RevCheesehead]

30. Yes, it is!!!

Sharon, it's been such a joy having a KOEB across the lake! And even beyond the pride of The Big 10, I will always remember you as the one who pushed me over the top!

:hug: and much love!


POST # 10,000!!!!!

Come and kiss me, Keith! :loveya:

[Patsy Stone]

31. WOO HOO!!!!

:toast: TTTTB!
loveya:

ed: smilies.

[SharonRB]

32. Yippee -- I'm glad to be the one, Rev

It makes me feel so special.

[RevCheesehead]

33. well, that's appropriate -

because you. are. Special.

"in the daytime, in the nighttime;
anytime that you feel's the right time.
For a friendship with me, you see, F-R-I-E-N-D, Special.
You are my friend, you are special to me.
There's only one in this wonderful world.
You. Are. Special."


Mr. Rogers taught me all I ever needed to know. Kindergarten was a waste of time. :)

[SharonRB]

34. Awwww, thanks, Rev.

[RevCheesehead]

40. Aw, it brings a tear to me eye.....

Can I post here how much I miss Sparky's, um, "unique champagne bottle?"

:dilemma:

[Patsy Stone]

46. That cork!

How did you find such a dirty-looking cork? LOL. :hi:

[RevCheesehead]

47. o lord, you're right (as usual)

Sort of reminds me of The Little Mermaid's castle. :evilgrin:

[Patsy Stone]

49. Or, maybe, those subliminal Joe Camel ads...

I couldn't help but comment on it. It made me feel kinda strange. :)

[gkhouston]

52. no kidding! Almost as suggestive as Sparky's

champagne bottle. I guess we don't serve any PG champagne in this clubhouse, LOL!

[RevCheesehead]

54. you know, that particular champagne bottle

always reminded me of the opening of "Souuuuuuul Train!" ;)

[gkhouston]

57. bwahahahahaha

my brother was convinced that they had five guys that they dressed in different outfits each week and called a different band. Same harmonies, same dance moves, different songs and clothes. :-)

[Patsy Stone]

65. But there's only one Don Cornelius!

The Soooooooooul Traaaaaaaaaain!

[gkhouston]

66. LOL, imagine KO doing a send-up of Soul Train

:rofl:

[gkhouston]

51. congratulations on 10,000

I wonder how much snark and :spank: will be in the next 10K...

TTTTB! :toast:

[RevCheesehead]

56. that all depends on the rest of the group.

You snark - I snark.
You boring - I still snark, but with pastoral sensitivity.

[gkhouston]

59. I see your "pastoral sensitivity" clothes are in the washing

machine at the moment, 'cause you got your snark suit on! Too bad Sparky's not around, and you could get up to your usual tricks. :-)

[RevCheesehead]

61. Honey, if Sparky were around,

what makes you think I'd be wearing anything but a smile? :loveya:

[gkhouston]

62. well, I kinda thought your snark was like my snark

snark suit = birthday suit.

Or do you remember not having snark?

[RevCheesehead]

63. Yes - I used to be shy and withdrawn.

I'm a born-again Snarkist.

[gkhouston]

64. Oh. I'm shy in some ways, but a congenital smartass.

grew up in a family where as far back as I can remember, deliberately misunderstanding each other's speech in humorous ways was a game. Talking back to inane remarks on the television was another family sport.

[Patsy Stone]

26. Damn! I love Shirley Ceasar!

She makes me wanna go get some church!

[WolverineDG]

37. Congrats Rev!!!

:loveya:

[RevCheesehead]

41. Wolfie!

Thanks, dear! :toast: to the ties that bind (and occasionally chafe)

[Gogi]

43. Congrats Rev!

:party: :party: :party: :party: :party: :party: :party: :toast: :toast: :toast: :toast: :toast:


Enough of that, where's the cake?

[RevCheesehead]

48. plenty of cake to go around.

I've got French vanilla, creamy milk chocolate, raspberry (that used to be my birthday cake every year!), and lemon poppyseed. And, of course, Angel Food.

If you're going to be drug-screened, I'd recommend you pass on the poppyseeds.

[bleever]

42. Cheese Cheese baby!

I missed the big moment, but let me take the opportunity to say how glad I am to know you, and call you my friend.

:hug:


(P.S.: I originally mistyped the word "glad" above as "gland", an appropriate kind of KOEB freudian slip.)

:7

[Patsy Stone]

45. We are well known for our glandular problems

I'll give you that. :)

[RevCheesehead]

50. why'd you change it?

Sometimes Mr. Freud does get a thing or two right. And sometimes, it's just a typo.

My buddy Bleev. Brother to the Cheezy-Doodle. The one-eyed wonder. Master and Believer, and keeper of the store-room key. And, of course, part of the great Wisconsin diaspora (I'm choosing to ignore your FIB roots, for the sake of poetic license).

Who else would have seen "Gull Bay" as an anagram of "Ball Guy?"
Who else keeps us safe from the likes of O'Reilley and Limbaugh?
Who else didn't give a rip about ties?

Ward and June would be proud, bless their hearts.
:hug: and love, too.

[Catchawave]

44. Congratulations !

Sorry I'm late....what a milestone, so proud of you :hug: :loveya:

This is for you, my partner in OCD Countdowns :)

[RevCheesehead]

53. And organ pipes in the background!!!

Anyone want to critique the outfit? Do I detect an orange-stripey tie? Any comments on the basic black suit and multicolor-lined cape?
(if the muppet were a tad greyer, it could pass as a Keith homage.)

Thanks, Catch! Much love and :hug:

[gkhouston]

55. and speaking of OCD countdowns...

did we ever overtake the John Kerry group?

[RevCheesehead]

58. OK, I peeked.

We have about 19,000. The Kerry group has about 40,000.

The fun discovery of the night: in the Democrats group, the smallest number of posts (53) goes to the Hillary Clinton supporters.

[gkhouston]

60. 53?!

and yet the RW spin machine would have us believe she's the Democrats' dream. Not. Quite.

[Patsy Stone]

67. Nah

They're at like 40K and they moved to another area of the re-organization.

[Berry Cool]

70. gk, my family is scarily like yours.

We were Mystery Science Theater 3000 before there WAS a Mystery Science Theater 3000.

I was thinking...I wish WhirlyGirl were here.

[gkhouston]

73. I've thought that, one more than one occasion.

as for MST3K, the trick was remembering that you weren't supposed to do it to teachers!
