[Patsy Stone]

10. Hi, ralps!

How's things?

[ralps]

15. It's going good, I hope your day was good too

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

[Patsy Stone]

24. It was, but busy

At least no test for you tomorrow. :)

[ralps]

28. Yep, The test today was a pain in the butt LOL

I got up at 5am, arrived at the surgical clinic at 8:15 & got out at noon. :hi: :loveya: :hug: :pals: :woohoo:

[SharonRB]

2. Happy Anniversary to us, Pats!

:hi:

Seems like so many people are dying this week, doesn't it?

[Patsy Stone]

5. Sure does

and that's never good.

Hi, Sharon! Happy Anniversary! I can't think of a nicer bunch of lunatics to have spent the last year with. :toast:

[SharonRB]

9. And I'm so glad I've gotten to know at least a few of the

lunatics in person over the past months.

[Muffstser]

3. I had a feeling he'd be on tonight.

Too much baseball news not to show up, eh?

[Patsy Stone]

7. Hi, Muffs

Yes indeed. For the Canseco interview alone. :hi:

[Muffstser]

18. I hope they give as much coverage to Dana Reeve's death.

Now THAT's a tragedy.

[Berry Cool]

4. Hi, ALL.

:hi: Will see you After the Show. Too bad it's such a sad night to be celebrating our anniversary, eh?

[Patsy Stone]

8. It's true.

Rev: :hug:
Dana Reeves' family: :hug:
Kirby Puckett's family: :hug:

[Patsy Stone]

6. Keith is verrrry close to the screen

They're using local news camera angles. And, as gk pointed out: local news make-up people too. :(

:loveya:

[bleever]

13. LOL. I couldn't put my finger on what was different about on-location

Keef, but you guys nailed it.

:thumbsup:

:hi:

[WolverineDG]

20. On the upside

we'd be able to tell if he was wearing the Boccara tie. ;)

dg

[Patsy Stone]

22. And

he's verrrry close to the screen! :hi:

[WolverineDG]

27. So close

it's making the Boss Hijack suit look rather :scared:

;)

:hi: pats!

dg

[Patsy Stone]

29. That's what made me really take notice!

The suit with the striped tie and graph paper shirt was making my eyes hurt. Add the bad makeup and bad lighting and :scared: :rofl:

[bleever]

34. "Graph paper shirt", LOL.

And: when they pull back, you can tell that this set was probably cutting edge, in 1982.


:rofl:

[Patsy Stone]

39. Local News Keith

I keep thinking he's gonna throw it over to Barry with the weather.

Hey, apparently the 80s are back. Look how much money they saved! :)

[Berry Cool]

56. It's funny, I've always thought of those shirts of his with the lines

as "graph paper shirts," because that's what they remind me of too.

I have never thought they went with stripes. But that's just me.

[gkhouston]

62. they don't, but maybe the stripes are there to

bar us from the notion of graphing a parabola on the shirt or something? :shrug:

Hey, I always hoped the stripe in that tie was Bunny's much-desired sage but under those lights it's a rather uninspiring grey. :boring:

[Berry Cool]

53. They always seem to do that when he's in another studio

whether it's 30 Rock, LA or, well, Tampa.

Weird lighting, weird makeup...the only good thing is, his eyes for some reason look especially blue. :loveya:

[bleever]

11. I raise a toast:

To the clubhouse, to the KOEB, and to all its friends:

Long May We Snark!

[SharonRB]

12. Hear, hear!

[bleever]

17. And to our friend RevCheesehead, who cannot be with us tonight.

:toast:


:hug:


It wouldn't be the same clubhouse without you, Cheese. (And I wouldn't have learned how to wash an eye-patch on the Delicates cycle.)

[Muffstser]

19. Anyone heard from Revvie?

I hope she's doing as well as can be expected.

[Patsy Stone]

31. Here:

[Botany]

57. Bleever ..... a one year tribute to the KOEB in my Gull Bay thread ...

If my words did glow with the gold of sunshine
And my tunes were played on the harp unstrung,
Would you hear my voice come thru the music,
Would you hold it near as it were your own?

It’s a hand-me-down, the thoughts are broken,
Perhaps they’re better left unsung.
I don’t know, don’t really care
Let there be songs to fill the air.

Ripple in still water,
When there is no pebble tossed,
Nor wind to blow.

Reach out your hand if your cup be empty,
If your cup is full may it be again,
Let it be known there is a fountain,
That was not made by the hands of men.

There is a road, no simple highway,
Between the dawn and the dark of night,
And if you go no one may follow,
That path is for your steps alone.

Ripple in still water,
When there is no pebble tossed,
Nor wind to blow.

But if you fall you fall alone,
If you should stand then who’s to guide you?
If I knew the way I would take you home.

[Patsy Stone]

26. Salut!

L'Chaim!
Slainte!
Salud y amor y tiempo para disfrutarlo!
Na zdorovje!
Kampai!

:toast:

:loveya: KOEB/ASTB

[Botany]

46. Fresh Snark on toast!

W/ Cheese of course

[ralps]

14. Go for it Jack Name Those Name!!!!

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

[ralps]

37. Please Abbie & Jack tie this scandel to the White House

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

[Botany]

44. Just a guess but the name might be .....

....

[Patsy Stone]

49. Didja have to?

:hi:

[WolverineDG]

16. Happy Anniversary everyone!

:hi: everyone! :loveya:

I'm glad to have had this place to come to every night, to watch the show, relax & have some fun with some really great people! :loveya:

A special shout-out to Rev & her family: :hug: :hug: :hug:

dg

[SharonRB]

21. Hi, DG!

Hugs to Rev and her family

:grouphug:

[SharonRB]

25. Did anyone else hear Franken play O'Lielly clips from CD

on today's show? He talked about how much he likes KO and played clips from one of the shows last week.

[WolverineDG]

30. For those interested in watching Delay go down

http://www.fortbendnow.com/elections/817/2006-primary-election-results

So far, nothing is being reported, but early voting results should be up soon.

dg

[SharonRB]

32. I hoped someone would post something about the primary results

Did you vote in the Repub primary? We can only vote for our own party in primaries here.

[WolverineDG]

41. OH HELL NO!

I want to be able to go to the Democratic Convention in Fort Worth w/Crispy! There was no reason for me to vote in the Republican primary as all our local candidates run as Democrats (even if they're not, like that asshole Cuellar). Anyway, I don't live in Delay's district (THANK GOD) so it wouldn't have made any difference.

dg

[SharonRB]

43. Got it.

[gkhouston]

63. party affiliation is very fluid here

and I probably would have voted for Delay if he'd been in my district. I honestly think that's where some of his votes came from.

[ralps]

33. Thanks for the link WolverineDG

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

[Patsy Stone]

51. Nice one!

Thanks!

[Patsy Stone]

35. Oh, Cruella!

How the mighty have fallen...

:puke:

[SharonRB]

38. She hasn't fallen far enough until she's forced out of the race`

However, we may be better off if she stays in. All the better for whoever the Dem is who is running against her (is it Nelson?).

[Patsy Stone]

40. Yep. DINO that he is.

Actually, if a Dem is elected Governor (pleeeeeze!), he might be more of a Dem. It works for him where it needs to: in the middle of the state. Dems in the Dem areas will always vote for the Dem.

[SharonRB]

42. So the seat should be ours to lose, such as it is, huh?

I would think he could beat the Witch with no problem.

[Patsy Stone]

45. I think so

and I don't think he even needed this to do it. With a name like "Katherine Harris" in FL, it would really help if the man she elected was doing a job to be proud of.

[Botany]

48. so she took 38 K in bribes and now has lawyered up?

Stay and fight K. Harris ..... don't give up

[Patsy Stone]

50. LOL.

I can't wait to watch this.
:popcorn:

[SharonRB]

36. Oooh, the Wicked Witch of the South -- this scandal is Karma

for the 2000 election, IMHO.

[ralps]

47. Today's worst person in the world is.... Officials at Homeland Security

Headquarters LOL :hi: :loveya: :hug: :pals: :woohoo:

[SharonRB]

52. This is so sad

I'm so farklempt!

[Berry Cool]

55. Yeah, I feel like I don't know what to say on a night like this.

You just feel bereft at the end of it all.

Keith using his favorite phrase at times like this. When he starts quoting (sort of) Hamlet, you know it's bad. :cry:

[merh]

54. Happy Anniversary to One & All!

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

[seito]

58. Sorry I missed the party

:toast: to an eventful year. You are by far the best friends I have never met. :grouphug:

NNNNNGU

Rev :hug:

[Gogi]

59. Happy Anniversary!

Bad weather in the offing so I thought I'd better chime in.:hi: :hi: :hi: :hi: :hi: :hi: :hi: :hi: :hi: :hi: :hi: :party: :party: :party: :party: :party: :party: :party: :party: :party: :party: :party: :party: :party: :party:

[Olney Blue]

60. Hi everybody- I really miss you!

I have a deadline on a big writing project that is due next Wednesday. I've been working long
hours, and getting home late. I pop in before I go to sleep to check on you guys and Keith.

:loveya:


Can't wait to get back!

[Catchawave]

61. Happy First Anniversary KOEBies !
