How about that one?

Hi, ralps!

[SharonRB]

[Olney Blue]

Your choice. :hi:

[Olney Blue]

:hi:

[Greylyn58]

4. Evening All

Another great night with Keith!! :loveya: KO!!

:hi: Patsy and my fellow KOEBers!!! :grouphug:

[Olney Blue]

8. Hi Greylyn! It's chilly here in Maryland- wish I could snuggle

by the fire with Sheridan!

[Greylyn58]

30. He loves to snuggle

one of his favorite things to do! B-)

[RevCheesehead]

34. You can snuggle with Sheridan, ...

but I'll take Keith, OK? :loveya:

[Olney Blue]

40. LOL

:rofl:

[RevCheesehead]

49. You know darn well that if I didn't say it,

that Berry certainly would have. :loveya:Keith

[SharonRB]

54. You sure got that right, Rev

[Berry Cool]

93. Berry's saying it now.

:hi: Berry got here Way After the Show because she had to snuggle up with work (ugh) and then got home just in time to miss the first 5 minutes of Keith. Then had to catch up on email and stuff.

I think I will rewind my tape and snuggle with Keith. :loveya:

[Greylyn58]

50. Actually

I'd like to snuggle with Keith and Sheridan. :evilgrin:

[Olney Blue]

55. One down, and one to go!

[RevCheesehead]

56. That's just being greedy.

Smart, but greedy. :D

[Greylyn58]

71. HAHAHAHAHA!!

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

[gkhouston]

112. I would have said kinky

but maybe I didn't go the same place you went. :blush:

[ralps]

5. A Memory loss expert hired by Libby's defense team??? I hope he doesn't

get to testify. :hi: :loveya: :hug: :pals: :woohoo:

[Greylyn58]

42. Howdy ralps

:hi:

[Olney Blue]

6. Wow- what if Chimp loses the only audience that will clap for him?

[ralps]

9. well then he might have to only speak before selected troops

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

[gkhouston]

114. the ones who

still have hands to clap with? :shrug:

[gkhouston]

113. self-delete

wrong place in thread

[Olney Blue]

10. Dana points out that terror is the Shrub's only strong suit.

Terra terra terra.

P.S. Terra.

[ralps]

12. and that's a losing issue too

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

[Olney Blue]

14. Yes, the 34% approval might be a tip-off!

[WolverineDG]

102. eek!

(pretending to be :scared: )

dg

[gkhouston]

115. anybody else think that other poll that Dana mentioned

trying to stretch that 34% up into the high 30's via a process of "averaging" with this other, unnamed poll, was probably some poll that was cooked up by and for the RW?

[SharonRB]

11. Below Nixonian levels

:rofl:

How low can you go?

[Olney Blue]

13. Excellent snark!

Keith told Dana he was dodging the WaPo ombudsman by saying that he (Dana)
couldn't take his eyes off Ruth Bader Ginsburg (instead of Anna-Nicole) at the SCOTUS.

:rofl:

[Olney Blue]

15. Patsy, that is an excellent picture of Keith!

:loveya::loveya::loveya::loveya::loveya:

[Patsy Stone]

76. MSNBC strikes again!

Hi, Olney. I've been distracted during the show by RL and writing e-mails. Tsk. Tsk. I is a baaad hostess. :hi:

[Olney Blue]

83. Fuggetaboudit!

You were a fine hostess.

[RevCheesehead]

16. Hi, everyone!

I'm here, doing a bit better tonight. I still hurt, but that ain't gonna stop me from watching Keith!

:loveya::loveya::loveya:

[ralps]

22. Hi RevCheesehead, I'm glad you're feeling a bit better

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

[RevCheesehead]

27. Thanks, ralps.

Hope life is treating you well. :hi:

[SharonRB]

23. Hi, Rev

I'm glad you're feeling a bit better tonight. I hope you're all better real soon.

[RevCheesehead]

28. me, too, Sharon.

I've learned that Vicodin really isn't that effective for pain. Perhaps people take it for its addictive effects? :shrug:

I've been keeping up with y'all - just not posting. :)

[Berry Cool]

94. Rev, you're wondering if people take Vicodin for its addictive effects?

That would be a big

[RevCheesehead]

105. Yeah, but what's weird is that it really doesn't do anything for me.

No significant pain relief, maybe a little dizziness or loopiness, but otherwise, nada. Damned stuff seems ineffective to me. When I take it, I wonder what on earth for.

[gkhouston]

108. aw, Ruth...

extremely gentle :hug:. Shingles can be excruciating, but the vicodin should be taking the edge off. I never got the "get high on vicodin" aspect either: I always get good pain relief, but I've never gotten a buzz off the stuff. I can remember oversleeping a pain pill after my shoulder surgery and being amazed at just how much pain that stuff can mask; basically I took the next dose with as little motion as possible and tried not to breathe until the meds kicked in.

Feel better. :hug:

[RevCheesehead]

109. Thanks.

I'm finding ibuprofin to be fairly effective, and it keeps my mind clear, so I can function in the real world. Ordinarily, I wouldn't bother, but for a funeral, and church service, I really want to give my best.

Thanks so much, Gina. :hug:
(I just popped 1/2 a vic after taking an oatmeal bath. ahhh.)

[gkhouston]

116. Yeah, let's hear it for baths.

Munchkin and I both had a fever of 102 yesterday, so we really needed baths this morning. Okay, we really needed them yesterday, but no way did I have the energy. Glad the ibuprofen is helping. I guess it addresses the inflammation as well as providing some pain relief, which is nothing but good. Just be religious about the taking-with-food thing, as you'll probably be on it for a while. :-(

[WolverineDG]

24. Rev, you're back!

We missed ya!! :loveya: :hug:

Glad you're on the mend!!
(even tho you didn't respond to my post this morning :cry: )

dg

[RevCheesehead]

29. I haven't been on DU since early this morning!

I had a funeral today, and it damned near wiped me out. But I'll look for ya! :hug:

[WolverineDG]

79. Sorry to hear that!

Sleep well, okay? :hug:

dg

[Olney Blue]

25. Hi Rev- glad you are feeling better!

:hug:

[RevCheesehead]

32. Thanks, Olney.

Ah, just another minor setback. Better times are ahead! :hug:

[Greylyn58]

33. Howdy Rev

Hope you're feeling better. :pals:

[RevCheesehead]

36. Hi, Greylyn!

Either I'm doing a little better, or I'm just getting used to it.
Nah - I'll go with feeling better. :)

And, *woof* to my buddy. :D

[Patsy Stone]

38. So glad you're here!

:hug:

[RevCheesehead]

48. Me, too.

I had a meeting last night that (painfully) lasted over 2 hours. Tomorrow is Ash Wednesday, so we have church, and I have another meeting on Thursday.

I'm worried about being kicked out of the KOEB! :scared:

[SharonRB]

52. We'd never kick you out, Rev

You should know that.

[ralps]

57. This is a busy time of the year for you Rev I'm sure

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

[RevCheesehead]

60. It sure is...

and a lousy time for shingles. Not that there's ever a good time. Well, I suppose it could be worse - I could get them during a heat-wave or something like that.

Did I mention that I'm on pain-killers? :crazy:

[ralps]

64. you mentioned it earlier in the thread

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

[Gogi]

92. It's NEVER a good time for shingles! I know! I know!

I've been sick the last couple of days too, but my problem was drug withdrawal. I take this mild antidepressant for hot flashes and did'nt get my stupid refill until this afternoon. I am now, officially, back among the living.

KO was almost in tears at the end of the show, boy does that man love baseball! No wonder he's never married, who could compete?

[Berry Cool]

95. KO hasn't been this mad since Katrina!

Never let it be doubted for a second: This man loves his baseball.

But he hates what "Baseball" does to baseball.

Such is the fate of a true fan.

Keith is on the warpath. And when he's on the warpath, he does two things: 1) start demanding resignations and 2) in the absence of anyone else resigning, turns in his own resignation.

I think I feel his resignation from that baseball historians group comin' on.

[Gogi]

103. Maybe Buck O'Neil will talk him back from the edge...

it would be more frustrating for him to not have any influence with the baseball historians organization. Resigning on air tomorrow with O'Neil in the studio is a no go from what I've seen of Mr. O'Neil's character. He just would'nt want that to happen.:hi:

[Patsy Stone]

89. Never!

You are a founding member! Never, never, never!

Any Mardi Gras for you? Pancakes? Anything?

[RevCheesehead]

104. Yeah - from McDonald's drive-thru this a.m.

I walk on the wild side. :party:

[Patsy Stone]

110. Wild woman that you are

:yourock:

[ralps]

17. LOL Anna Nichole Smith Puppet Theatre!!!

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

[SharonRB]

18. ANSPT

:rofl:

That was great!

[RevCheesehead]

19. I still love it that "the cleavage" has its own puppet stick!

:rofl:

[Olney Blue]

20. Shut up, rookie!

That was cute.

[WolverineDG]

21. Hi everyone!

Got caught up in homework & almost missed the start of the show. :o

Good snark on dodging the ombudsman. I know everyone is playing the Mrs. Smith Goes to Washington for kicks & giggles, but it's a really serious jurisdictional issue between the federal & state courts. (yeah yeah, that issue is :boring: for y'all, but quite frankly, federal judges already think they're God but they don't know squat about family or probate law. I wouldn't want them screwing up any of my cases!)

dg

[SharonRB]

26. Hey, DG

Hope you caught PT.

[Olney Blue]

31. Hi Wolverine- I am very confused about the legal issue in this case.

:shrug:

Is there a way to briefly summarize it in laymans terms?

[WolverineDG]

51. I tend to run screaming from federal court

hence, I've managed to avoid getting my federal bar card. :evilgrin: But, from what I gather on this case, there was a highly-contested state probate court case in which the jury came back against ANS. She later filed for bankruptcy in federal court, which somehow granted her $ from her husband's estate. (In most cases, filing bankruptcy puts a stay on any other court proceedings--divorces, custody/child support, foreclosures--until the federal judge lifts the stay. I'm not sure how the federal court reached in to the probate case which had been finalized at that point, which is what they're bitching about right now.)

I should point out that it has since come out that this one particular son of Mr. Hunt contrived to keep ANS away from her husband, and also locked out another son. The last will from the old guy cut both of them out entirely, so Mr. Hunt may not have clean hands in all this. I don't know what she was arguing at the state court level, but she sure as hell didn't help her case by showing up to testify in a T-shirt that said "Spoiled."

dg

[Olney Blue]

63. Thank you for the explanation.

:hi:

[Patsy Stone]

35. Sorry, kids!

Just as the show started, I had to eat.

The #5 story was so well-done! :loveya:

[SharonRB]

37. Eat? During Countdown?

How DARE you!

:hug:

[RevCheesehead]

44. You ATE the #5 story??

You musta been hungry! :9

[SharonRB]

46. Wouldn't it have been better rare or at least medium rare?

[WolverineDG]

39. THEY DIDN'T BURN WITCHES IN SALEM!

They hung them, except for one, who was "pressed," a particularly gruesome way to die.

RIP several-times Great-Grandma, Rebecca Nurse.

:cry:

dg

[SharonRB]

41. Oh, he's doing the Detroit Institute of Arts story

I just read about it on DU tonight and then saw it in the paper. I can't believe a 12-year-old wouldn't know any better. He got suspended from school.

[ralps]

43. LOL Drunkeness in the Milwaukee Art Museum Sponsored by Clear

Chanell Radio!!! Is that A shout out to Rev & Me???? :hi: :loveya: :hug: :pals: :woohoo:

[SharonRB]

45. If the DIA incident was a shoutout to me!

[ralps]

47. And Here's the Link to the story

http://www.jsonline.com/story/index.aspx?id=404718
:hi: :loveya: :hug: :pals: :woohoo: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[RevCheesehead]

53. Just you.

I wasn't there. O8)

Moral of the story: It's not smart to offer unlimited free drinks to Wisconsinners. :toast:

[ralps]

61. I wasn't there either Rev. I just thought since the story happened in WI

it was a shout out to us. Besides I've been sober for 15 years. :hi: :loveya: :hug: :pals: :woohoo:

[RevCheesehead]

65. Nah - I was thinking the specific "Milwaukee" reference.

As you know, I live in the frozen tundra. :D

[gkhouston]

118. and that amazes me

How could anything remain frozen in your visinity?

[gkhouston]

117. given the amount of booze on offer

some of those folks might still not be sober 15 years from now. Just sayin'. :hi:

[Clark2008]

58. Hmmm... what would I do for beads if Keith was giving them out...

Considering I need my own stick for my cleavage, hmmmm....

:rofl:

:hi: all. I've been here, reading, but doing chores and couldn't post much.

[SharonRB]

59. Hiya, Clark

:hi:

[RevCheesehead]

62. Hi, Clark

Imagine walking around with a popsicle stick holding things up. Damn - I think I'd need reinforced steel. :D

[Patsy Stone]

91. You'd make a MINT!

Hi, Clark! :rofl:

I've had a RL kinda night, too.

[Berry Cool]

96. Hmm, let's see....one needs sticks, one needs reinforced steel...

How about flying buttresses? :shrug:

[RevCheesehead]

107. Nope.

Not gonna mess with my buttress. :)

[ralps]

66. Awwwwww Poor Doggies & Kitties

:hi: :loveya: :hug: :pals: :cry: :cry:

[Olney Blue]

69. I can't bear these Katrina pet stories.

[RevCheesehead]

67. Oh, those poor critters!

I want a Katrina kitty! In fact, I want ALL of them! :loveya:

[Berry Cool]

97. Me too.

And that's despite knowing the shelters here are full of animals and I refuse to take in a third cat in a place as small as mine. I tell myself I just can't, or I will become one of those obsessive collectors.

[Greylyn58]

68. Oh.....

My heart is breaking!!! :cry: :cry: :cry:

[Olney Blue]

70. Why did Sheryl and Lance break up? He sounds so caring toward her.

[Clark2008]

74. He probably got cocky and cheated on her.

It happens.

:shrug:

[Olney Blue]

77. cocky?

:)

[SharonRB]

78. Probably a bad choice of words, huh?

:rofl:

[Olney Blue]

81. Actually, it might have been perfect!

:spray:

[Clark2008]

100. It's what I was going for.

;)

[gkhouston]

119. maybe they still care about each other, but that just didn't

translate into a viable relationship. Happens sometimes.

[RevCheesehead]

72. OK, ralps - the 4 drunk drivers story is a shout-out to me.

Since it's Rock County, just down the road from Whitewater. :)

[ralps]

75. Yep I guess it is, By the way Mike Malloy will be in Wisconsin on March

14th & 15th from Mike's message board
Mike Malloy is coming to the Madison area. He'll be speaking at UW Whitewater on March 14th. We hope to have an event for him in Madison prior to that, but details are still coming together. Expect an announcement this coming week.

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

[RevCheesehead]

80. Thanks for the info.

Are you planning on going?

[ralps]

84. I'm planning on going, but since the final plans haven't been announced

I'm not sure if I'll go to both the Madison gig or the Whitewater gig. :hi: :loveya: :hug: :pals: :woohoo:

[Berry Cool]

98. OK then, the story about the German shepherd and Chihuahua cops is a

shout-out to me, because they're in Geauga County. Close enough!

[gkhouston]

120. it's totally corny, but I loved the shot of the

Chihuahua in the gun holster. :rofl:

[ralps]

73. Today's worst person in the world is.... Britt Hume for saying Harry Reid

was Factually Challanged LOL Maybe Keith sould just make Fox News & their TV Personalities permanant #1 worst people. :hi: :loveya: :hug: :pals: :woohoo:

[Greylyn58]

82. Buck O'Neal is a total Class Act

and it's a damn shame that he and Minnie Minoso were both shut-out. Incredibly stupid and unfair.

[RevCheesehead]

85. And he's going to be on the show tomorrow night!

Keith must be in heaven.

[Greylyn58]

87. Truly!

:toast: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :toast:

[Janice325]

88. I missed tonight's show (damn!!)

Is it Buck O'Neal going to be on, as opposed to Minnie Minoso?
Thanks in advance to anyone who responds.

[Berry Cool]

99. Yes, it will be Buck. But I doubt Keith's in heaven.

Or at least he's not enjoying it. Unless you call working up a head of righteous anger enjoyable.

This has really got his buttons frosted. You think Bill O'Reilly gets him steamed? Hell hath no fury like a baseball historian scorned! You wait and see!

[Janice325]

101. Thanks, BerryBush

I'll try to catch tomorrow's show.

[Olney Blue]

111. Hi Janice!

Nice to see you here.

:hi:
