KOEB - 3/3 - Call O'Liely's Security Guy edition

[SharonRB]

Maybe he'll send Agent Mike to your house.

[gkhouston]

1. Does Agent Mike do windows? n/t

[gkhouston]

6. Wow -- 60% disapprove of blivet** in a Gallup poll!

bye-bye, chimpy!

[bunny planet]

76. please let it happen.

pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeease.

[SharonRB]

10. I think he uses a MAC.

:rofl:

[ralps]

2. Hi SharonRB, Hi Everyone, Cool Keith's covering the Bill O'Reilly call

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

[bunny planet]

3. Yeah, he's got more from Falafelworld.

Hi everyone.

[SharonRB]

5. Hey, Bunny

And everyone else!

[WolverineDG]

27. Hi Bunny!

Sorry to hear your TV reception isn't doing so well, but I'm glad to see you posting live! :hug:

:hi:

dg

[bunny planet]

40. Hi DG, its working just fine during the commercials, only craps out when

KO comes back on.
Hmmmmm? veeeery interesting.

[WolverineDG]

99. Is your cable company named

"O'Reilly" by any chance?

:tinfoilhat:

dg

[bleever]

4. Nice tie.

:hi:

[SharonRB]

8. I think it's the quasi-Bocara again

[bunny planet]

7. I've got problems with my Countdown reception again.

Rats!!! I'm still watching it but the sound goes in and out and the pictures wobbling a bit.
Rats rats rats.

[SharonRB]

9. Oh, no

Why doesn't your cable company like Countdown?

[bunny planet]

14. Good question, once again, the reception is perfect on every other channel

and was even perfect for the short minute I watched the end of Hardball tonight.
Enough to make you break out the tin foil.

[SharonRB]

19. Maybe they're working for O'Liely

[bunny planet]

26. now that did cross my mind

this is his home broadcast area just like Keith. I wouldn't put it past O'Lielly to do it if he could get away with it, not himself of course, some techie henchmen.

Just the tin foil talking.

[gkhouston]

35. why don't you?

the tin foil might improve your reception.

[SharonRB]

48. LOL

:rofl:

[gkhouston]

50. I'm series!! n/t

[SharonRB]

54. I know -- that's what's so funny!

[Patsy Stone]

77. Fess up

You called O'Lielly too. That's why you have no reception. :hi:

[SharonRB]

81. Hey, Pats

How's Nicky doing?

[Patsy Stone]

87. All good

Going stir crazy. The highlight of the visit was a trip in a wheelchair to the lobby. :)

[gkhouston]

94. so she's out (at least for the weekend)?

Is good. :hi:

[Patsy Stone]

101. She's there

until at least Monday, and has been there for days. At least she's not being forced to eat hospital slop -- it's like a parade of food over there. There's almost a buffet. :)

[gkhouston]

108. is she at least close to her due date?

my sister-in-law was on hospital bedrest for her last pregnancy and the emotional toll is pretty high. I count myself lucky that I got to work the whole time even if I was giving my husband instructions to email to my coworkers about work while I was in labor. ;-)

[Patsy Stone]

126. Nope

still two months out. She's actually been on "semi-bed rest" for a month. No driving, no real walking, no swimming, nothing. The other night she went to the ER, and they've kept her for obs. Before she was a partial prisoner in her house, now she's a full-time prisoner in the Maternity Ward.

[gkhouston]

140. that's depressing, but it could be worse

And I'm so glad it isn't. I'll be thinking Good Thoughts for her. :hug:

[Patsy Stone]

145. Thanks.

She's ready for this all to be over. I can tell you that. :)

[bunny planet]

11. Perfect, tears the scab off. I've never even gotten the advantage of a

'scab' as far as this administration goes. The wounds never even begin to heal.

[Berry Cool]

13. Man, I hope everybody can tune in tonight, what a great show it'll be!!

Keith's best Oddballs from Feb., Buck O'Neil, and best of all--Loofah Boy!!!! :loveya:

on edit: Agent Mike isn't smart enough to use a Mac. :-)

[gkhouston]

39. Macs are easier to use than Windows boxes.

Safe bet he doesn't roll his own with Linux.

[Berry Cool]

61. You're missing the point, gk.

You HAVE to be smart in order to realize that using a Mac is so easy that it makes worlds more sense than using anything else.

Now THAT takes intelligence!

Unless, of course, you're one of those people who prides yourself on having built your own home telephony system, rather than having to depend like "stupid" people on that telephone that you just pick up and punch the buttons and you can make your call.

[gkhouston]

I don't think "Macs are better" is any big secret by now.

Years ago, yes. Now, you'd really have to be out of the loop not to know it. Most organizations just don't want to cough up the money.

[SharonRB]

63. I had to use a Mac in a class once, and I hated it

It's all in what you're used to. I'll take Windows any day.

[Berry Cool]

78. You guys must love the Blue Screen and Hourglass of Death!

Me, it reminds me of Bill O'Reilly! ("You cannot perform that function. I have your phone number. You'll be getting a little visit.")

[SharonRB]

92. I never, ever get the feared blue screen at work

and the hourglass is no worse than that little spinning disk on the Mac.

As I said in my other post, I'm not saying one is better or worse than the other. It's all in what you're used to, and to each his/her own. That's why there are different kinds of cars and other products -- one kind doesn't always suit everyone. If everyone liked the same things, there would only be one kind of any product. There's room in the world for Windows and Mac users.

[gkhouston]

103. I had a Windows box in DC

and hated every minute of it. I have a Linux machine now and sometimes get tired of dealing with the lack of ready-to-go software for it (a lot of stuff has to be compiled for your particular machine; with Windows and Mac machines, you can usually download binary files), but it's a vast improvement over Windows and possibly better than having a Mac was. And all of it is better than Hollerith cards, which is what I started on (mumble mumble) years ago.

[SharonRB]

107. I know nothing about Linux and never heard of Hollerith cards

My hubby probably has -- he worked in computers way before desktop machines came out. He started on mainframes, moved to minis and then to PCs.

[gkhouston]

116. Hollerith cards are the punchcards they used to run through machines

for the mainframes. You used a modified typewriter to punch holes in the cards and each card represented a single statement of a computer program. If you were smart, you'd punch a sequence number in the far right hand column of the card so you'd know which line of the program it was which in case you dropped the deck. I once saw someone I dislike drop an unnumbered deck in a mudpuddle. Bliss. :-)

[SharonRB]

121. I just never heard them called that.

Thanks.

[Berry Cool]

143. Yes, Hollerith cards were what the Nazis supposedly used

to keep track of all the Jews in Europe, with the full assistance of Thomas Watson at IBM.

Scary thought. Just thinking about them makes me shudder.

[gkhouston]

154. they weren't invented for that purpose

IIRC, there were first used for the US Census around 1900 and subsequently used for all sorts of business and insurance purposes.

[Berry Cool]

214. I never said they were invented for that purpose.

I said they were used for that purpose. I didn't say they were invented for that purpose.

[Berry Cool]

128. Maybe I'd be more inclined to believe Mac users weren't being insulted

if someone hadn't said "Agent Mike uses a MAC."

I'm just sayin'.

[SharonRB]

215. Sheesh...

Get over it. I was just making a funny when gk asked if he does windows. Get it? Just a pun. I wasn't trying to insult anyone.

[Patsy Stone]

183. That, btw,

is a very heart-warming tale. :)

[gkhouston]

184. he had a very whiny voice

and always used ask very annoying suck-up questions in class. It was only a smallish deck (600 cards), but still...

[Patsy Stone]

187. I say

Gather ye rosebuds while ye may. :)

[bleever]

15. Amen, sister.

The best I've got is DU, acting like a band-aid that you can wear in the shower. And for that I'm very thankful.


:hi:

[WolverineDG]

38. Hi Bleever!!

:hi:

DU helps keep me sane, that's for sure.

dg

[bunny planet]

46. good slogan

'DU, the band-aid you can wear in the shower.'

[SharonRB]

12. Who could have known this White House was secretive?

Duh!

[bunny planet]

16. What fresh outrage.

the Dukester gets his PENSION!!!!!!

[RevCheesehead]

17. Heckuva Tie, Keith!

This one's got pink in it. :)

Hi, everyone! :hi:

[ralps]

23. Hi RevCheesehead, how are you doing?

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

[RevCheesehead]

25. Hi, ralps

I hurt like hell, and am popping vicodin on a regular basis.
Call me Brett. :hi:

[bleever]

32. Happy Friday, Your Cheeseness.

:hi:

[RevCheesehead]

37. Hiya, Bleev!

How were the Johnsonvilles last night? :hi:

[bleever]

68. Just the ticket.

Even if they were cooked inside instead of on the grill.

And even if I'm a little uneasy about a sausage company called "Johnsonville".


:hi:

[bunny planet]

34. Hi Rev

hey that's funny
Heckuva tie.
How's by you doll?

[RevCheesehead]

41. Hi, Thumper!

I'm hanging in there. Hurt like hell, but I'll survive.

How about you? Feeling better? :hi:

[bunny planet]

53. I've missed a lot, but I did read what you were suffering from.

My father -in -law had that last year, it was so so painful.
:hug:

I've had a rotten week healthwise too, but I'm just beginning to feel better from the medley of maladies I've encountered since last weekend.

[WolverineDG]

42. I'm holding out hopes that it's the Boccara again

but the resolution on my TV isn't that great. :(

dg

[gkhouston]

49. LOL, I can just imagine the KOEB

pooling its nickels to get an HDTV for the clubhouse so we can decide when KO is wearing the Boccara. :rofl:

[RevCheesehead]

57. Indeed....

Garcia, anyone? :evilgrin:

[gkhouston]

59. haven't seen it yet

maybe it's not his cup of tea. Oh, well. Wolfie will be pleased.

[WolverineDG]

83. Hi GK!

:hi:

I think it's the Boccara again, so yes, I'm pleased. :)

dg

[Berry Cool]

133. I guess you will believe what you want to believe

but it wasn't the Bocara before and it's not the Bocara now.

When it's the Bocara, we'll know it--we won't have to guess.

[WolverineDG]

138. My story, stickin' to it

:)

dg

[SharonRB]

66. He hasn't worn it yet

I wish he would already. Maybe he doesn't like it.

[WolverineDG]

79. NO!

But then you knew I'd say that.... ;)

dg

[Berry Cool]

131. It wasn't the Bocara the first time, so it can't be it "again."

Sorry, but that's just wishful thinking. This tie also isn't different from the last one he wore that people wondered about. It's the exact same tie. I'd stake my life on it.

[WolverineDG]

146. Wishful thinking? Sue me.

:)

That's my story & I'm stickin' to it.


dg

[gkhouston]

47. Hi, Cheese

Do they sell lime kool-aid up where you are?

[RevCheesehead]

60. I have no idea.

You lookin' for somthing green? :hi:

[gkhouston]

65. No.

Metamucil tastes less awful in it. :7 Stick with the Vicodin and you might need that bit of information. ;-)

[bleever]

95. Okay, lime Kool-Aid and Metamucil.

:rofl:

[RevCheesehead]

169. OMG - you're terrible!!

:spank::spank::spank:














How did you know? :rofl:

[gkhouston]

175. Shoulder surgery?

One of the reasons I'm unlikely to ever take more Vicodin that I strictly need is that the stuff is so constipating. :blush:

Prune juice helps but the sweetness is so vile. Hold your nose and drink it as cold as possible if you can't find the lime kool-aid. Mary drank a lot of lime kool-aid with Metamucil when she was in chemo.

[RevCheesehead]

179. Prune juice is a Warrior's drink.

[gkhouston]

181. that's because Klingons

are so full of shit.

[RevCheesehead]

182. LOL

So am I, dear... so am I. :evilgrin:

[gkhouston]

185. there are also stool softening tablets you can buy

that are not laxatives, just stool softeners. Use them sparingly.

[Patsy Stone]

199. Never in my life

would I expect to see the words "stool softener" in this thread. :)

[gkhouston]

203. live and learn

they gave 'em to me as a matter of course after I gave birth. Apparently a lot of new moms have problems with constipation. Good thing I decided to use them sparingly or I would have had the opposite affliction.

When we were growing up, my dad always claimed that no matter what subject we started discussing at the beginning of supper, sooner or later we'd end up talking about shit, and he was usually right. :7

[SharonRB]

18. Think DeLay's sentence will be longer than Duke's?

[Berry Cool]

43. Hey, in that picture of Bill at the top of the thread,

is he describing the size of his uh, you know??

In that case, I simply have to counteract with this:



Read it and weep, Falafel Boy!!!!

[WolverineDG]

45. Gotta get the SOB convicted first

one step at a time, one step at a time....GO RONNIE EARL!

dg

[bunny planet]

20. You go KO, expose the rat bastard

You are the future of news.

[SharonRB]

22. And the present!

[bunny planet]

28. of course, I was referring to that article written about him in that

San Fran paper.

[SharonRB]

21. "But, officer, all I said to him was 'Keith Olbermann'."

Is there a law against that now?

[WolverineDG]

24. Hi Sharon!!

O'Reilly's having Fox Security call people who mention Keith's name? Wow, that's really got everyone :scared:

:eyes:

dg

[SharonRB]

29. I saw all the threads about it on DU

I wonder if one of the people he's going to talk about is the a DUer.

I heard from livvy again -- she can't come to NY. She realized she's got conferences that week and really can't take time away from school. Bummer! Now I need to find another roomie.

[WolverineDG]

36. Did you get a room at Hotel BC?

We still have the reservation for that large room at the other place. BTW, do you want to take in a Yankees game on Thursday night? My friend would like to go to a game.

dg

[SharonRB]

44. No -- all the rooms were booked.

Let's keep the other, larger one. Hopefully I'll find a roomie. Did you hold onto the BC one, too? If you did, you should keep it, just in case I wind up not being able to go.

I'm not sure if I'll get there in time to go to a game. I'm going to work Thursday and just leave early, but I don't know if I'm going to take a 3-something flight or something later in the evening.

[WolverineDG]

86. I'm holding on to both, just in case

Keep checking back. Maybe someone will cancel. :)

dg

[SharonRB]

88. Someone like you?

:rofl:

Before I would book a room alone, I'd want to know I've got a roomie.

[WolverineDG]

122. Hey!

I'm holding on to that rezzie until the last possible second! ;)

dg

[SharonRB]

127. Just kidding!

[Patsy Stone]

205. Oh, no.

Not the famous and feared Fox Security People. OMG! Run!!!! What a buffoon. :eyes:

So bummed I had to miss the beginning, but I'm going to try for the rerun if I can stay awake.

And it also stinks that I won't be able to join you guys in April in NYC. :( I think I've already spent a chunk of my travel budget and there's an unknown summer vacation destination yet to come.

[ralps]

30. Yay David Gregory reporting on B*sh

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

[CBHagman]

31. Hi, Kinder!

:hi:

Sharon, there's some horrible thing infesting your original post. Want me to smack it with a rolled up copy of The Washington Monthly?

[SharonRB]

33. Be my guest.

I just had to laugh at him holding up his two fingers like he was showing how small he is.

[CBHagman]

85. LOL! Sounds like the classic Claudia Shear put-down.

The playwright Claudia Shear did a rant in one of her one-woman shows, with this capper: "I'm sorry, but I can't truly value your opinion, when your penis is probably" -- holding up a pinky -- "this big!"

:rofl:

[RevCheesehead]

51. OK, "Rex" has to be a shout-out to Botany!

:rofl:

[Patsy Stone]

82. Were there Bay Airs?

Hi, Rev! :hi: How are ya feeling?

[RevCheesehead]

172. Hi, Patsy!

Got a phone call, and had to make a call, then decided to have dinner.
I'm doing so-so. Tonight's show brought several smiles, however - and that was a blessed relief!

And Shabbat Shazzam to you! :hi:

[Patsy Stone]

177. I finally read through the thread

and I saw how you were doing. :hug: Lime Kool-Aid and Metamucil? :rofl:

Take it easy, okay? Don't over-exert.

And Shabbat Shazzam back 'atcha.

[Patsy Stone]

208. It totally was

And he said it twice. :rofl: What was the lead-in? Something like: "This guy's available, girls".

[gkhouston]

211. Rex

is always available. Eager, even. :evilgrin:

[SharonRB]

52. KO -- "He who must not be named."

:rofl:

[RevCheesehead]

174. Someone on DU has the wonderful screen-name,

"She-who-must-be-obeyed." Sheer brilliance, that one! :)

[gkhouston]

176. snort. THAT'S gotta be a cat person. n/t

[bunny planet]

55. Keith, you are never he who shall not be named.

That would be Falafelmort.

[SharonRB]

58. Oh, Bunny -- very funny

:rofl:

[gkhouston]

62. agreed. We have a new name for "Ted"

better than "Ted" actually... makes me think too much of Ted Bundy.

[bleever]

73. Darn!

I guess my suggestion is out then.

It was "Lufacer".


I bow to bunny's superior wit.


:)



ed: sp of my own neologism.

[bunny planet]

80. Falafelmort it is!!!

or Loofacifer!

[WolverineDG]

90. LOL

:spray: Damn, Bunny, that's a good one!

dg

[bleever]

56. KO pronounced "Van Gogh" correctly. And Pope Hilarious!

And I was afraid he was just going to mail in tonight's show.

[ralps]

64. LOL "Bill thinks he has his own police"

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

[bunny planet]

67. He has a long history of trouble when it comes to phones.

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

[SharonRB]

69. I loved that line!

:rofl:

[gkhouston]

70. "operators" are standing by

to take your call?

[ralps]

74. & Keith getting a visit from Bill's police armed with Loofahs

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

[ralps]

71. LOL Keith giving Bill's answers!!!

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

[gkhouston]

91. what did he say?

a 5-year-old took control of the TV at an inopportune moment (and no, I'm not talking about O'Reilly). Oh, well, I'll catch it in its full glory later on.

[Patsy Stone]

209. After a few Ted Baxter mumbly words he launched into

"...Don't watch MSNBC! No one's watching MSNBC. Except me. I watch. And if you watch, we have your phone number." There was more, and I'm sure it's already posted at DU somewhere. Too good. Then he read the all the ratings including "Nancy Grace (Knows What You Did Last Summer)". LOL!

[gkhouston]

212. I finally saw that. Too, too funny.

Whoa, that lawyer from Connecticut was a little wired. Think she could be a KOEB auxiliary? I'm glad Keith made the point about stalking because I was thinking that calling the same radio show every single day could edge over into stalking territory. Wonder how long it'll be before somebody starts calling the Dan Patrick show to talk about Bill O' Reilly. Dan would probably tease Keith endlessly about it.

[Berry Cool]

217. Yeah, the lawyer was a bit enthusiastic about her point for an average

guest. LOL, maybe she was trying to score a date with Keith. (Keith: "Sorry, honey, but you should know by now...I don't do Connecticut.") Anyway, I do think the stalking point was good to make, because I think a person who called up O'Reilly over and over again just to harass him could indeed get in trouble. But ONE phone call in which you mention Keith? Uh, no, I don't think so.

As for someone calling in to Dan's show to talk about Bill (positively, I assume you mean)? I think Dan and Keith would handle it the way they do just about everything else--with humor. And if the person sounded as if he were trying to make a serious point, Keith would probably interject and say "Look, I'm not saying you can't watch and listen to him if you want. I just happen to think he's an idiot, that's all. Your mileage may vary." And that would be an end of it, because Keith knows better than to drag on the argument longer than that. If someone brought up Bill's superior ratings, Keith would go back to his own "money demo" statistics and also point out that he never said O'Reilly doesn't have higher ratings, he just said that ratings are not necessarily proof of quality the way Fox seems to think they are, and that the Fox people are bullies when they use their ratings as a cudgel to imply their own network's superiority. Especially when they too have had so many shows with poor ratings--just as has every other network.

As we know, ratings are a really stupid way to try to prove that your show is good. They are a factor of a) how many people can get your signal in the first place and b) how many people are receptive or becoming receptive to what you have to offer if they can get your signal. That's the way Keith looks at them. That way, he can feel good when his ratings go up, and at the same time not feel too discouraged that he's still way behind Bill's. What it means is that maybe, just maybe, more people are not only getting access to his show, but more people are looking for someone who says what he has to say and the way he says it. And they are slowly, but surely, finding it.

And THAT is what's really got Bill's goat. Which only makes sense...given that goat is a common Middle Eastern meat that goes well with things like falafel.

[bunny planet]

72. Let's hope the guy does prosecute O'Lielly for harrassment.

The FAlafel fatwa sign is up again.

And every night, O'Reilly just gives KO more material.

The O'Reilly Squad armed with loofahs.

[Patsy Stone]

75. Bill sez: "My loofah is thiiiis big."

Hi, everyone!

Shabbat Shalom, to all. Hey, Bill? BITE ME!!

Just back from visiting my friend who is stuck in the hospital. I turn on the TV to see that KO's not only "mentioning" the BIG GIANT HEAD's stupidity, but it's the #3 story! Wonderful.

I loved the CT attorney who said it was Bill who could get in trouble for harassment. :rofl:

[SharonRB]

84. Great caption for the photo in my opening post, Pats

Shabbat Shalom to you, too.

[Berry Cool]

89. That was a GREAT story on Bill

and now he's on to Buck! What a show!

I hope something is done about Buck's situation.

[Patsy Stone]

106. At least before Pete Rose is inducted anyway. :)

It was a wonderful story, and he looked like he was having a great time doing it. Almost like he felt guilty for getting paid for it.

[bunny planet]

93. Hi Patsela.

It is so hilarious how Bighead gives KO fresh material with which to mock him every week, sometimes every night.
Do you think he has any inkling of what a tiny tiny dick for brains he is?

[SharonRB]

96. Despite the opening photo, I'm sure he doesn't

[Patsy Stone]

109. Noooo

He's the smartest person he knows. In fact, he's the smartest person EVER. :hi:

Too easy with the material if you ask me. I'd like to see Keith actually have to WORK one night. :)

[bleever]

105. Memo to Pats:

He's "Falafelmort" from now on. You know: he who shall not be named.


:hi:

[Patsy Stone]

110. Ah...

Yes, he's a disembodied Death-Eater for sure. :hi:

[SharonRB]

113. Yup -- he's just a

BIG GIANT HEAD!

[bleever]

129. Did you see the tie?

Yay or nay?

:hi:

[Patsy Stone]

135. I still think it's "not the tie"

I think it's this one:

[bleever]

151. OT: Sir Paul on Larry King now.

[Patsy Stone]

153. Oh... Beatle Paul

:loveya: :loveya:

ed: pict.

[bleever]

158. Reminds me of a great band name I came up with:

Baby Seal Club.



:)

[gkhouston]

162. ...

:thumbsup: Dave Barry would approve.

[bleever]

165. What, did he come up with that too?

Damn. But then, how could I top lime Kool-Aid and Metamucil?

[gkhouston]

166. LOL, I don't think that would be a good name for a band

nah, Dave Barry was always just saying, "such-and-such would be a good name for a band".

[Patsy Stone]

173. Kool-Aid and Metamucil

is the title of the first album. My .02 :)

[bleever]

195. ROFLMAO.

I KNEW you were gonna say that.



:rofl:

[gkhouston]

198. it's only because we have CDs these days

if the album had been an LP there would have been room for the full title:

"Kool-Aid, Metamucil and All That Shit"

[bleever]

201. Oh my.

Or, "Some Smooth Shit".

[Patsy Stone]

206. Miss Cleo? Is that you?

One of the most eagerly anticipated debut albums of the year. Kool-Aid and Metamucil, from the upstart Midwesterners, Baby Seal Club, was recorded July 23-25, 2005 in the backyard during a beer and brat barbecue party and is sure to set your toes-a-tappin'.

[gkhouston]

213. LOL, I originally read this as "bear and brat"

since the beer is a given. :7

[Patsy Stone]

163. Oh

Noyoudidn't... :rofl:

[Berry Cool]

155. You got it, that's the tie from tonight.

He seems to really, really like wearing it with that particular suit--which he wore again tonight.

Although sometimes he has worn it with The Dreaded Gray Suit too.

[Patsy Stone]

156. Yep

Has it been a while since we've seen the DGS? Or am I just having selective memory?

[Berry Cool]

218. Uh-oh, that means we are due to see that suit again Monday.

Unless he favors me with the really dark charcoal suit and orange tie...my favorite. :loveya:

[Greylyn58]

97. Evening All

Finally got in to say hello!! My cable was messing up and had to fix it. I COULDN'T SEE KEITH!!!

THE HORROR!!! :rofl:

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

[SharonRB]

98. Hey, Grey

Sounds like you're having Bunny's problems.

[Berry Cool]

219. I think that at least half the viewers of this show didn't realize that

they were actually getting their cable TV service from "O'ReillyCableVision Inc."

Funny how it all seemed to go wonky for all of them on the SAME night...and when they called the emergency service outage number, they got a recorded message saying "Your call is important to us. Unfortunately, all our operators are currently sexually harassing other customers. Please stay on the line. Our operators are standing by with loofahs to assist you. Please be patient. They are working with only one hand free."

[bunny planet]

100. say that's classy Britney, changing your kids diaper on the table in the

restaurant.

Yeeech!

[Greylyn58]

104. Think about the next patrons who have to sit there

especially if they don't clean the table well!!

EEEEEWWWWWWW!!! :puke:

[Patsy Stone]

111. Such a mess

How does someone get that stupid?

[SharonRB]

114. I don't think it's easy. In fact,

it's very, very hard werk!

[bunny planet]

117. notice she's starting to look more and more like Elvis....

in the Vegas years....
the late Vegas years.

[gkhouston]

120. OMG, she didn't!

:wtf: If there's not a changing table in the ladies' room, change the kid in the trunk or backseat of your car. I would never change a baby where people are eating. :puke:

[Patsy Stone]

152. How about

on her lap while she's driving? It seems to be where she does her best work. Did he mention that woman in the restuarant he witnessed previously? He mentioned it in his "cell phone from hell" story. I was too busy typing and being nudged, and if he did, I missed it.

[gkhouston]

157. "cell phone from hell"?? n/t

[Patsy Stone]

168. How rude people were

when they were on their phones at restaurants. Oh, wasn't it that restaurant with the "use your indoor voice" sign? He said he'd seen someone change their baby in the restaurant. Now I gotta go find the transcript.

[gkhouston]

171. I just can't imagine doing that.

Even if I were the only diner in the restaurant, it's so gross. I don't change the baby at the table at home, why do it there in a restaurant? Granted, in NYC, they might not have a car to change the baby in (and seriously, the trunk of a car is a great place to change a baby if it's not cold or rainy 'cause even the squirmiest toddler can't roll out of the trunk), but I've been in very few restrooms that didn't have changing tables and I had something in the diaper bag to spread on the changing table that I could always spread on the floor if there were no other options. I mean, jeez, ya gotta wash your hands, anyway. :eyes:

[Berry Cool]

220. I don't remember whether the restaurant guy mentioned people changing

babies at tables, but I think Keith told his own story of having seen people change a baby at their table at that time.

It's incredible that people do this. Talking on the cell is rude enough, but changing the baby is rude plus a smell! (And, yes, the chance of spreading who knows what germs.) How many restaurants don't have changing tables in the bathrooms nowadays? Even in the men's room, because they're finally getting wise to the fact that yes, men do carry babies around on their own sometimes?

[gkhouston]

222. not only that

some of them now have "jump seats" in the handicapped stalls -- little plastic fold-down seats on the side of the the stall where you can strap in a toddler to give Mommy a chance to change a younger sibling or use the bathroom without Junior wandering around all over messing with things, crawling out, opening the door, etc. I first saw one in the New Orleans airport about six years ago. I usually just get Amy to stay in one place by playing the bellybutton game -- sort of a hide-and-seek where we flash our navels at each other at unpredictable intervals -- but it must sound pretty odd to other people in the bathroom, a little kid and a woman saying "bellybutton!" and laughing. ;-)

[ralps]

102. Today's worst person in the world is.... The town Aldermen of Aurora Ill.

for regulateing how long Christmas lights can stay up. :hi: :loveya: :hug: :pals: :woohoo:

[Berry Cool]

136. I don't know, you guys. I think nothing looks worse than when people

leave up old dead raggedy Christmas wreaths on their doors for months and months.

[gkhouston]

142. not worth making a law over, though. n/t

[Berry Cool]

149. No, it's not worth making a law over.

Going after people who use Keith Olbermann's name on the air--now THAT's a job for your local law enforcement!

Keep the REAL criminals off the streets! People who say "Keith Olbermann"! :rofl:

[Patsy Stone]

210. Because no one else has

I'll do it. :)

Aurora, IL

Party on, Wayne!

[bunny planet]

112. I LOVE fat cats.

I have two.

[gkhouston]

123. is it really two?

or is it one and you're embarrassed to admit how large that kitty is? ;-)

[bunny planet]

139. yes, its two. LOL

one has a pin-head though so she doesn't even really look like a cat, and she has Rita Cosby's voice.

[gkhouston]

144. but you love her, anyway. You ARE a devoted fur-mommy. n/t

[Patsy Stone]

141. Do we all have cats? I'm not sure I ever asked.

I only have one, but he's big enough to make two. :)

[Berry Cool]

150. I have only one big fat cat and one skinny one

but one of my siblings has two HUGE ones, so I guess that counts.

[Patsy Stone]

160. So does that make

three and a half? :)

[gkhouston]

161. I don't at the moment

I used to travel a lot when I was single and Mary had so many, I didn't feel like I needed a fuzzy of my own. Then we had Amy and I didn't feel like running interference all day long to keep her from assaulting "Kitty!". I had a cat growing up, though, and am definitely a cat person. Great cat, btw. Looks like one my friend used to have named Calvin.

[Patsy Stone]

170. Kitty!

LOL. His name is Mouse. Growing up we were dog people. I didn't have one until I was in my late 20s. Then we had two, now just one. I had a diabetic cat. Insulin shots twice a day. I love both dogs ("Doggie!") and cats, but I find at this point in my life I'm happy not to have to walk the cat.

[gkhouston]

180. we had both dogs and cats when I was growing up

(and assorted other critters) but I think I'm more of a cat person than a dog person. Mary's had some diabetic cats, so I'm well-acquainted with the insulin routine. I actually got to the point where I got the insulin into the cat instead of myself. ;-)

[Patsy Stone]

186. I was surprised

at how easy the shots were to administer. Just pull that little "mom cat" patch of neck up and "dink"! But he lived until 16 even with the diabetes. The bottle flew out of my hands once or twice and exploded spectacularly on the terrazzo. Good times. :)

[gkhouston]

188. actually, insulin shots were much easier than some other things

like giving liquid antibiotics (pink splashes on white plaster, how attractive) or some tablet that started foaming the minute it hit the cat's tongue (your pet and rabies: a demonstration).

[Patsy Stone]

189. Oh, pilling a cat...

IMHO, only second in the Impossible Olympics to bathing one.

[gkhouston]

191. LOL, trying giving *ten* cats flea baths.

OMG, there was one year when it seemed like everyone in Houston had fleas. It was purely awful. This was years ago, before Mary divorced, and the situation grew dire. He treated the rugs, a Herculean chore, but then we needed to bathe all the cats. As I recall, I held and he washed and Mary tried to calm them down afterwards. Oy, but that was a nightmare.

[Patsy Stone]

200. Oy

And they look soooo pathetic when they're wet. :(

[gkhouston]

204. an 18 pound cat does not look pathetic when it's wet

it looks dangerous. :scared:

[Berry Cool]

221. I can well imagine.

I'm so glad they came up with stuff like Advantage and Frontline. It makes the flea problem so much easier to handle.

I lived in half a house once where the dogs who lived with the tenant below had fleas something terrible, and I ended up getting fleas as a result of being in the hallway they used as access to the backyard. I then transmitted the fleas to my strictly indoor cats, and we all three were miserable until I got some Frontline.

How did I get rid of my own fleas, and the ones in my bed? Not by putting the Frontline on myself (although that was a tempting idea). Nah, I just put it on the cats and let them have the run of my bedroom during the day. At that time I wasn't letting them in the bedroom as a rule, so the instant I opened the door, they of course ran in there like it was the greatest place in the world to be (after all, it was "the forbidden room"). They spent all day in there while I was gone at work--and of course, as a result, attracted the attention of every flea in the place. The fleas landed on them, and soon met their doom. Most efficient way to kill fleas that I ever saw: use your cats as roaming "flea bombs."

[RevCheesehead]

178. That looks like Binky's brother!

The Binky:


And here's Oreo:

[Patsy Stone]

190. Actually

the other one who's gone to the Great Catnip Patch in the Sky looks more like Binky. I'll see if I can find a picture.

They look very ready to be adored. :)

[RevCheesehead]

192. They insist on it.

As do all cats, I believe. :)

[gkhouston]

194. boy, are WE well-trained

I just expressed a similiar sentiment.

I owe you some kool-aid!

[RevCheesehead]

196. Great! I'll get the Metamucil.

Does it mix with vodka, by any chance? :)

[gkhouston]

197. I don't know

I usually don't drink when I taking Vicodin.

[Patsy Stone]

202. I believe

you and gk are correct!

[gkhouston]

193. Cats, by definition,

are at all times adorable. ;-)

[SharonRB]

216. I don't and never will

We're all allergic -- hubby's eyes swell up and I sometimes have an asthma attack when I'm around them too long.

[bunny planet]

115. 'Its funny because I don't know him.'

That about sums it up.

119. And now it's time for "Lockup"...

...starring everyone who ever called Bill O'Reilly and said "KEITH OLBERMANN"!!!!

It's MSNBC's secret way to boost its own ratings with Bill's help..."Crime Time in Prime Time Starring the KOEB!"

[bunny planet]

118. my gawd, my kids somehow pushed the on/off button for the teevee

into the interior of the set never to be seen again. I had to scramble to find the remote to turn it off before I heard..........
the voice. Isn't there a new sad story she'll be exploiting with her man-voice this week?

[SharonRB]

125. LOL -- I did that with the computer last night

I hit the reset button and it went into the tower. Dave got it out by just taking the front off the machine -- not a big deal.

[bunny planet]

134. oh good, so I can't say that these things won't happen anymore when

the kiddles leave for college. I can break stuff myself.
I almost broke the dvd drive on my lappytoppy yesterday, an artist friend of mine sent me a promo piece with his art on a mini disc, cute right. I put it in the side of the computer and it was too small to be read or even to register that anything was in there, so I couldn't eject it, and there was no emergency manual eject on my model. I ended up putting double-sided tape on a business card and gingerly getting it out.

[gkhouston]

132. I think she's still fixated on the grad student murder, isn't she?

I expect she'll ride that pony for a long time. Nobody knows what happened to Natalee and she disappeared in another country, but this other woman was sexually tortured and murdered right here in the good old USA. She'll be fearmongering right and left. She enjoys this stuff too much. It's not natural.

[Berry Cool]

137. Not tonight.

You must've forgotten--Rita's not on on Fridays. She was doing Hardball Hotshots again tonight, and looking just as stupid as ever. Except even she had to admit those videos made * look bad! :rofl:

[Patsy Stone]

148. Are there more missing honeymooners? n/t

[bunny planet]

124. good night ladies, I have to get back to work, lost a lot of time

this week.

Nice to run into you here. Have a great weekend.

147. Good night, Bunny!

Glad to hear you're feeling better! :hug:

What a show!

Hey luffa boy ..... betya I can make you have a stroke on air.

bush ...... the name of the town is Islamabad ..... you might not be welcomed .....
so how many people are dead due to *'s urge to travel?

Jail for a "titty twister" ...... get a life and move on .... we used call em "purple nurples"
btw if somebody gets jail for a titty twister, old Crispini would be doing hard time in the big house.

Pakistan an Arab country? Asia or Africa .... all the same.

A red glow was over Gull Bay as the sun set. The Crimson River Tavern was rocking as the
