[Berry Cool]

Because a lot of us miss it...even though we completely understand why we haven't seen it lately:



Good thread and good luck!

or is that

Good night and good Keith?

[crispini]

1. Hola ladies!

:hi:

[SharonRB]

2. Hola

:hi:

[crispini]

3. Hi Sharon!

Oh, look, he's wearing the un-tie! :loveya:

[SharonRB]

4. I've always liked this tie.

[crispini]

6. Me too.

And apparently so does Keith. :D

[Berry Cool]

64. Keith looks lovely as usual.

:hi: from Berry After the Show!

[crispini]

5. Good for a chuckle

Bush shown rescuing appliances and stereo equipment in New Orleans

[SharonRB]

7. LOL

Have you seen this one from Reuters? Hard to believe it's real, but Reuters is pretty reputable. It's supposedly blivet writing Condi a note at the UN on September 14, asking her if it's okay if he takes a bathroom break.

[crispini]

9. I saw that. And from the links, it looks like it's really real!

:rofl: Hard to believe.

[SharonRB]

19. I agree.

I thought it was a joke until I went out to Raw Story and went to the link to the original from Reuters. What a moran! Asking his mama if he can go pee -- what a joke! Doesn't even know protocol without checking.

[WolverineDG]

94. doesn't even know if he needs to pee or not either n/t

[Clark2008]

44. Yeah, it's really, really real!

And I just sent it to Keith.

:hi:

Bonjour (I don't speak Spanish)! :)

[Patsy Stone]

90. Hola, bonjour...

How are ya tonight?

For KO snark -- set to overload: :loveya:

[WolverineDG]

24. that's really sad

if it's true....geez, wonder what the UN hall pass looks like?

dg

[SharonRB]

28. I wonder who the hall monitor is...

could it be...maybe it's...John BOLTON!

[WolverineDG]

59. say the hall monitor is bolton,

that brings to mind the old funky winkerbean comic strip w/les as the hall monitor...he sat at a desk armed with a gatlin gun....that's right up bolton's alley....."shoot to kill" unless you have a pass.....

dg

[RevCheesehead]

77. oh, did he poop his pants again?

"This hard werk is too hard!" :freak:

[WolverineDG]

89. wanna bust out laughing?

here's this thread from GD:

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=104x4773862

:rofl:

dg

[Berry Cool]

70. Hey, isn't that LOOTING??

Or did he "find" those from a store?

:rofl: Funny picture! And so is the rescue/damage assessment pic!

[Patsy Stone]

8. It's the victims' fault!

They should have pulled themselves up by their bootstraps! :puke:
What a bogus Repug talking point that was.

[crispini]

10. Hard to pull yourself up by your bootstraps

when you don't have any boots.

[Patsy Stone]

27. I think so too.

Wow. :crazy:

Hi, crispi! He's all stripey again. :)

[crispini]

41. Hi Patsela!

Yes. Stripes good! :7 :loveya:

[bleever]

30. Actually, they may not have been poor enough!

Please see:

http://sfgate.com/columnists/asmussen/

:hi:

[Patsy Stone]

33. :)

You have to laugh or else you'll cry.

[Greylyn58]

11. Howdy All

Hope everyone is well. Checking in for my nightly dose of Keith.

Ophelia is really pounding the coast of NC. I'm a little nervous as I haven't heard from my Aunt who lives on Oak Island, just southeast of Wilmington, NC. Normally when a hurricane is announced, she leaves and comes back to Charlotte and stays with her son. My mom has been trying to get in touch with her and hasn't yet(she was married to my mom's brother--he passed away in 1994)

Keeping my fingers crossed that she left the island and came inland.

[crispini]

15. Hi Grey!

:hi: Hope all is well.....

[Berry Cool]

74. Yeah, Grey, we could use all being well for a while

and not having to worry about the safety of ANYONE. Wouldn't it be nice?

[crispini]

12. Awwwwww!

The dolphins! :cry:

"Keep teaching them, they might learn how to run FEMA! :rofl:

[bleever]

16. Okay, all together: Awwwwwww!

:)

:hi:

[WolverineDG]

21. Dolphins running FEMA

why not? i bet they could do a better job & would work for fish! :)

dg

[Greylyn58]

22. I laughed out loud at that

Keep teaching them and the Dolphins might learn how to run FEMA!!

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

Anderson Cooper just did the same story about the Dolphins. They will be trying to capture them tomorrow and Cooper said they will be there to watch it.

[SharonRB]

26. My husband and I both cracked up

Hi, Grey! Hope your aunt is okay.

[Berry Cool]

75. Dolphins: Best snark of the night!

:loveya: Keith for continuing to reintroduce the snark!

[SharonRB]

13. Dolphins might be trained to run FEMA! LOL

[bleever]

18. You feeling better, Sharon?

:hi:

[SharonRB]

20. A bit.

The sore throat is gone, but it moved into my chest and my nose and I have a killer headache. I'm on the mend, though.

Thanks for asking!

[bleever]

14. Put the dolphins in charge of FEMA!

:rofl:

Go, Keef!

[SharonRB]

17. Triple Vulcan mind meld

That one couldn't go without comment.

[Patsy Stone]

23. "So Long and Thanks for all the Fish!"

The dolphins run the universe. :)

:hi:

[WolverineDG]

25. 42 n/t

[Patsy Stone]

48. On no account allow a Vogon to read poetry at you. :) n/t

[WolverineDG]

61. GAH!

on second thought, why not give the vogons the contracts to rebuild new orleans? :shrug:

dg

[Patsy Stone]

68. Do they have to give a cut to Cheney?

I'm sure he'd know the Vogons.

[WolverineDG]

71. 'course he does

where do you think he got the bad ticker??? too much wining & dining w/the vogons...... :evilgrin:

dg

[crispini]

29. This sounds bad about the levee board.

Now, what about all of the grants that were asked for and denied at the fed level?

[Berry Cool]

78. It does appear there was a TON of pork going on at state level

and money went to that rather than to levee repair/updating.

It's a crime. Doesn't let the feds off the hook, but it's a crime. Both sides of the political fence responsible for that too. Your tax dollars "inaction"...or those of Louisianans anyway. *sigh*

[Patsy Stone]

31. Toxic mold

OMG, so gross! Good thing I've eaten already.

ed: sp.

[crispini]

32. Niiiiiiiice.

NOT.

[bleever]

36. I'll pass on the blue cheese tonight, I think.

:P

[crispini]

47. blue cheese! Yum!

there's good mold and then there's bad mold.

[bleever]

49. LOL. Thanks for making the distinction. And also, where would we

be if mankind had not harnessed the positive powers of fermentation?

:thumbsup:

[crispini]

51. Exactly.

Next up: GWB declares War On Mold. :eyes:

[bleever]

65. "Mold hates us because of our freedom."

"You're either with us, or with the mold."

"Blue cheese is from France."

:eyes:

[Berry Cool]

80. "I have proof that we have found

weapons of mold destruction..."

[Patsy Stone]

56. We'd be out of wine!

And that would suck... :)

[RevCheesehead]

84. and there's good cheese....

....and BETTER cheese. O8)

Still blue, politically, but not in spirit. Sparky showed up last night! :loveya:

[bleever]

101. My favorite "blue" Cheese!

And as we all know, some Cheeses are best enjoyed with wine.

:)

[RevCheesehead]

102. aw, bleev -

You know my heart belongs to Sparky - but that doesn't mean we can't have a nice wine and cheese party, does it? ;)

[bleever]

104. Arrrr, lassie, I may have an eyepatch, but ye know

I'm still a gentleman.

Pardon where the peg leg scrapes the hardwood floor, lassie.

And no sailor worth his salt could say no to a fine cabernet with some Gruyere, or perhaps some Colby.

:)

[RevCheesehead]

105. I love it when you sweet-talk me.

I once met a pastor with the first name of Colby. And yes, he lives in Wisconsin.

And Gruyere - was that King Arthur's love? Or am I thinking of that lawyer chick on FAUX news?

[WolverineDG]

34. oh ick

hope they get that under control, especially for those folks who have mold allergies.

dg

[Patsy Stone]

35. How do you de-mold an entire city?

How much Clorox is that?

[SharonRB]

37. I wondered the same thing, Pats

How do you clean up an entire city to make it habitable again? I can't believe they're talking about reopening the French Quarter and downtown business district next week -- even though they weren't so flooded. I'd sure stay away.

[Patsy Stone]

40. So many of the structures will be damaged and unstable

I don't think there will be too many to work on, house-wise. The mold is everywhere, so even if you strip the houses down to the beams, even the beams were soaking in that water for four weeks.

So bad.

I don't understand how they'd open either, but I guess they have to get going on putting things right, so it has to happen sometime. Reporters need a place to stay, also.

Get Rita a comb! :)

[WolverineDG]

67. no, pats, no

get rita a show on another network!!!!

:evilgrin:

dg

[Berry Cool]

81. Shuster's point was very good--

namely, that the business may want to reopen, but where will their employees stay?

[WolverineDG]

63. i don't know but

i've got a germaphobic friend who drives me nuts (you know, the kind who takes her own sheets & towels with her on trips & won't eat anything at your house if you have kids or pets :eyes: ). She could whip NO into shape in no time....

dg

[Patsy Stone]

72. LOL

We can send her there with my friend who puts money in numerical order. :)

[WolverineDG]

92. oh dear

my friend could wash the money & then your friend could line it up.

get this: she thinks *i'm* weird.... :crazy:

dg

[Horse with no Name]

108. Ummmm

I take my own pillows/pillowcases and wash cloths with me when I am a patient in the hospital.
If YOU only KNEW what they did with those....and where they have been........

[Patsy Stone]

38. Roberts baseball snark!

Delightful, KO. Loved the yawning during the tease for the story. :loveya: :loveya:

[Berry Cool]

83. Eventually he had to get back to the baseball refs.

That's our Keith!

He never fails to touch base at some point!

[Patsy Stone]

97. Usually, he hits a home run.

IMHO. :loveya:

[SharonRB]

39. He knows all those countries' names?

I'm impressed.

[Patsy Stone]

42. It's part of the "work" he's been doing.

It's been a big coupla weeks for Geography.

[bleever]

50. I think getting that DVD from Bartlett, and finding it wasn't The Wiggles

was a real wake up moment.

Maybe they used "Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego?" to teach him the countries.

[Patsy Stone]

79. Well, it's a good show.

At least you couldn't blame the messenger if he didn't get it.

And, personally, The Wiggles give me the creeps. :)

[bleever]

98. Yeah...The Wiggles...four guys with five o'clock shadows that like

to be around little kids...

They all look like guys who'd be killed in the first five minutes of an episode of the original Star Trek.

:scared:

[Patsy Stone]

99. And, they're Australian, too.

Not quite Canadian... :)

Are they all wearing red shirts?

[bleever]

100. No, not all red. Some might not have attained the rank of "ensign"

yet.

Maybe some are "yeoman" or other ranks that are disposable unless they look great in miniskirts.

[WolverineDG]

69. condi wrote 'em down for him

then drilled him on how to prounounce them "kerectly." i guess that's what he meant the other day by saying "i've been working."

:eyes:

moran

dg

[crispini]

43. "More talk, less rock" ?? SNERK!

floaties for the caption folk! :loveya:

[Berry Cool]

85. That was a great cap.

Oh, and I forgot to give them kudos for "Brown Out" the other night. (Even if it was an easy one. They could have said "Brown Steps Down," and it would have rhymed, but it would not have given Keith his segue from that to the LA power outage!)

[crispini]

45. Roberts is wearing one fugly tie!!!

[bleever]

46. Props to Chuck Schumer for the "Get Smart" allusion.

Cone of Silence.

And Roberts really was masterfully elusive.

[Berry Cool]

86. Didn't you know?

Chuckie's cell phone is shaped like a shoe. I have it on good authority.

[Greylyn58]

52. Man the "Worse Persons in the World" seem to be getting--

you'll pardon the expression--"worse" and all of them seem to have Katrina connections.

Unbelievable!!!

[Berry Cool]

88. They DO all have Katrina connections.

Keith calls them the Katrina editions.

The top one doesn't surprise me one bit. That's SOOOO par for the course in the world of retail. The only excuse for not showing up for your work shift is death--your OWN. Sheesh!

[WolverineDG]

112. Like the ones in NO who told employees

"if you don't show up for work tomorrow, you're fired" so the employees didn't evacuate.....

assholes.

dg

[crispini]

53. Hanson... aren't they broken up or something?

[Patsy Stone]

55. They're just older, and less cute

But I think they're still recording.

[crispini]

60. Google says yes.

I like that song too. :7

[WolverineDG]

76. i do too

but then i tend to like happy-sounding teeny-bopper music.

:hide:

dg

[Patsy Stone]

54. I like that song.

I don't want to hear it over and over again, but for Old School Bubblegum Pop, it's a killer. Mmmmmbop.

[Berry Cool]

91. OK, I admit, I like the dumb song too.

No, I could not listen to it over and over 400 million times. But then again I couldn't listen to my FAVORITE songs that many times in a row.

Did anyone notice Keith's verbal blooper when he was interviewing the kids holding the chest wax-a-thon? "Let me ask by starting you..."

I believe that's what is called a Spoonerism. :rofl:

[crispini]

57. Wow! Rita still looks like a duck.

CLICK!!!!

[Patsy Stone]

58. Absolutely.

But, in anticipation of the need to flick the remote, I moved it closer this time.

They got her a comb, and some hair product. Thank goodness.

[crispini]

62. That Michael Jackson nose, though....

:scared: why would someone do that to themselves? Observe:

[Patsy Stone]

66. It appears just as crooked in both photos. too.

If there was "some work done" they didn't even straighten it out. I can't past that green/blonde dye job. It looks like she went swimming in an over-chlorinated pool.

[Berry Cool]

93. I'm afraid the end of her nose will fall off someday.

You will know things are getting bad when she starts dangling kids off balconies.

[WolverineDG]

82. compare/contrast

she looked fine before. who's the moran who told her she needed work? even her hair looks plastic.....

dg

[Horse with no Name]

109. I bet she did it cause people told her she looked like

Hillary.
I think she is much more attractive in the first photo than the second.

[WolverineDG]

111. agreed n/t

[RevCheesehead]

73. Tonight I got to see about 1/2 the show.

My Dad was laughing at the college kids wanting to wax their chests. He especially liked Keith saying "we'll check back with you later, provided any of you survive."

Keith apparently has snark-appeal to old people, too. :)

[Patsy Stone]

87. It knows no bounds, Rev., darling.

How you feelin' now that you're in the 10K Club? :)

[RevCheesehead]

95. Chatty.

I'm now at 10,224 posts. But I'll never catch up to Crispini. :)

[Berry Cool]

96. Missed checking in after you checked in to say hi, Rev.

How's your mom?

[RevCheesehead]

103. Whoops - sorry about that!

Dad needed to talk over stuff, and now he's gone to bed.

Mom is, well, not quite herself. She seemed really confused and disoriented this morning. Then, around noon, we finally discover that someone had shut off her oxygen! (how does that happen in a nursing care unit?)

The really sad part is that her bones seem to be scraping together. I helped transfer her from chair to bed, and all her bones were going "pop..pop..pop.." She can barely walk.

The good news: she's supposed to start PTherapy tomorrow, if she's feeling up to it.

I'm afraid this is going to be a very long recovery. :(

[Muffstser]

106. ONLINE AT LAST!

Hi, gang! I won't bore you with all the drama...suffice to say it was a LONG evening.

Just finished watching the show, and I have a question. How many of you think Keith was speaking to the "chest hair guys" about waxing from personal experience?

Just wondering... ;)

[RevCheesehead]

107. Actually, I was waiting for Keith to show us HIS chest,

As to waxing? I doubt it, since even the wooly caterpillars seem to be feral, rather than tamed. And, there's that wrist hair.... :9

[Berry Cool]

110. No, for the record, I do not believe Keith has ever been

"manscaped."

The eyebrows and hands are proof.

Oh, and Rev, hope things go better for your mom.

[gkhouston]

113. I wouldn't think so

but he's probably interviewed all sorts of athletes over the years and some male swimmers and bikers de-fuzz themselves. He might have had some horror stories visited upon him.

[Muffstser]

114. Say, gang, wasn't there a photo of KO shirtless out there?

I remember seeing one of him from the early days. Looked great, but was a "manscaping" candidate!

If anyone has the photo and/or link, post it, please!

[crispini]

115. Ask and ye shall recieve.

:evilgrin:

[crispini]

116. Oh, and while I'm IN that photobucket folder, it seems a shame

not to post this....

[crispini]

117. LOL! Remember this, ya'll?

[Muffstser]

118. YOWZA!!!

Maybe that's why Playgirl selected him "sexiest broadcaster" (that and the ballot box stuffing, natch). I wonder if I can blow that up and make it the wallpaper on my new computer?

*sigh* Definitely better than Shrub shirtless, no question!

[Muffstser]

119. Say Crispi, when and where was that photo taken?

Just curious. He's totally scrumptious in it!

[crispini]

120. oh, jeez, I think it's from his high school or college reunion?

not exactly sure how it found its way onto the internets.....
