KOEB Meeting -- 3/14/06: Presidential Tunnelvision Edition

[Patsy Stone]

[bleever]

1. Tunnelvision might be a step up.

:hi:

[Patsy Stone]

8. Presidential Assholism

has been soooo done. :hi:

[Berry Cool]

2. And as we suspected, it's a 30 Rock night!

Live, from New York, it's Keith! :bounce: :loveya:

[bleever]

6. I was wondering what was up.

At least it's not "local news Keith".

:)

[Berry Cool]

10. More like "national news Keith."

The Keith Olbermann Evening News...and it's not on Fox Sports!

[Patsy Stone]

22. 30 Rock

[Patsy Stone]

3. Live from NY... It's Keith!

Whassup with that? Hi, all! :hi:

Here tonight and on time even.

[Berry Cool]

7. OK, Patsela, jinks, you owe me a Coke!

:rofl:

[Patsy Stone]

9. I saw!

At exactly the same time. :rofl:

[Berry Cool]

13. Thanks for the Coke!

Don't forget, Keith's on The Colbert Report tonight! That's the reason...

[Patsy Stone]

16. It happened again...

:rofl:

[SharonRB]

14. Hebrew Coke!

[Berry Cool]

17. Never let it be said that Patsela didn't do her part

to try to help Protestants keep kosher. :-)

[Patsy Stone]

34. Pareve, too

Enjoy with meat OR milk. :) And... it's even kosher for Passover. :thumbsup:

[SharonRB]

35. Which will be here before we know it!

[Patsy Stone]

37. That's a fact.

The last two months have alternately crawled and flown. Tomorrow's the Ides of March. Between that and Mercury in retrograde, stay low.

On the other hand, I think tomorrow is the anniversary of "The First Wearing of the Tie". :loveya:

[Patsy Stone]

18. Once upon a time...

I had that t-shirt. :)

[SharonRB]

4. Hi, Patsela!

[Patsy Stone]

5. Hi, Sharon!

How's by you?

[SharonRB]

11. I'm doin' okay.

Getting very, very busy at work again.

[Patsy Stone]

12. Don't forget: Keef is on the Colbert Report

Tonight. :loveya:

[SharonRB]

15. I've already got the VCR set to tape it.

[Clark2008]

29. What time is that going to be?

I'm so loopy on drugs from my teeth, I may not be able to stay up that late and watch it, but I'd still like to try. :hi:

[Patsy Stone]

30. How many fingers am I holding up?

:) 11:30 EST.


:hi:

[SharonRB]

31. It's on at 11:30 here.

I see you've got a blog set up, too.

[bleever]

43. You get drugs from your teeth?

Man, I gotta change dentists and get me some of them.


:)

[Clark2008]

55. Yeah - Vikodin, believe it or not.

They probably thought, after looking at my horrid tooth, that I had been in pain long enough. :hi:

[bleever]

61. I've got some of that work in my future, but I don't really like the pain-

relievers foggy effect on me.

I have enough trouble looking interested as it is.

:)

[Clark2008]

64. Yeah - I think I'm tuned out.

I sat around and played with a bouquet of iris's my husband brought me (for no reason - he just loves me. :loveya: ) while he kept bringing in groceries. I usually put those up as he brings them in, but I just stood there in la-la land with the irises. :7

[Patsy Stone]

75. Well, good or bad,

I think the same thing happened to Van Gogh. :)

[bleever]

19. Harwood's wrong on impeachment. If we take the House,

* is toast. Dry, white toast.

[SharonRB]

20. Dry? Since when is he dry?

[bleever]

23. The kind of dry white toast that Elwood Blues ordered at the diner.

[Patsy Stone]

21. The kind of dry that

makes you choke.

Yes, he's wrong. But he's less of an apologist than he used to be, so that's something.

[gkhouston]

90. he also blinks less. Have you noticed?

Maybe being less of an apologist agrees with him?

[WolverineDG]

24. Damn!

I was hoping that the judge would toss out the death penalty option. Hello? Prosecutorial misconduct, anyone? :grr:

:hi: everyone!!!

dg

[SharonRB]

26. Hey, DG

I was just setting up my blog. I see you, Pats and I are the only ones so far. I almost used that blue skin you used, but the blue is too bright for me.

[WolverineDG]

41. I like the color

I might change it, though, if the dark blue background makes it too hard to read the blog. :)

Rev has her journal set up too. Have you seen Call Me Wesley's journal? :rofl:

dg

[SharonRB]

46. If the blue were darker, I'd like it -- it's just too bright.

I just changed mine for the fourth time, I think. I've got "Console" on now, the same as Patsy's. I saw someone's using that and it wasn't as hard to read as I thought it would be. I haven't looked at Call Me Wesley's yet. I'll take a look.

Who knows if I'll ever have any "Journal-worthy" posts to save there, though.

[Patsy Stone]

51. I was actually gonna make my own

or at least dig around and see the possibilities. I just went with basic black. You can never go wrong. :)

[SharonRB]

52. LOL

I've got the same one up now. I thought it would be hard to read, but I think it's okay.

[SharonRB]

50. Okay, I checked it out

Very funny! :rofl:

[Clark2008]

62. I'm still new to the journals.

What's the link to that one?

[SharonRB]

67. We're all new, silly

They just started this afternoon. There's a list of journals on the front page of the journals. You can click on the name.

[WolverineDG]

73. We're all new!

They just went live today. :)

dg

[Patsy Stone]

28. Can't wait for the contempt charges.

What a maroon! Haven't seen such bad lawyering since Marcia Clark and Christopher Darden.

Hi, DG! :hi:

[WolverineDG]

44. You know something is up

when the lawyer lawyers up. :think:

And oy, what a circus the Simpson trial was. If only Marcia hadn't permed her hair... :eyes:

Hi Pats! :hi:

dg

[Patsy Stone]

48. Worst.Perm.Ever.

Yes: lawyers with lawyers -- never a good sign.

Let's see: you have DNA evidence and you don't get a conviction. Hmmm. I think I could have argued that case better than those two.

[WolverineDG]

58. don't forget

they also had Bozo the Clown for a judge. :+

dg

[Patsy Stone]

25. Good show so far but...

It looks like KO used a "low flow" shower head.

[WolverineDG]

47. Yes but

it's the mint chocolate chip tie. :9

and say, isn't that my avatar in the background?

dg

[Patsy Stone]

27. It should have been "Shock and Aww, Crap!"

Too true. So sad.

[tatia_s]

32. Ouch, baaad Isaac Hayes impression

or Chef impression, whichever.

[Patsy Stone]

36. Another great man lost

to Scientology.

:hi:, Tatia!

[tatia_s]

42. hey there!

:hi:

[Berry Cool]

76. But it was a GREAT impression

of Keith's personal "sexy" voice.

Or at least I'd like to think so. :blush:

[AlCzervik]

33. i have impure thoughts about Keith, is that wrong?

i don't think so. My 11 year old daughter watches with me now.

[Patsy Stone]

39. No

We will keep your secret. :hi: and welcome.

[Berry Cool]

40. No, it's not. Many of us do.

Some don't, but many do.

Just don't tell your daughter about them.

LOL, I *thought* that was the Mr. Magoo theme!

[bleever]

38. Mr. Magoo theme song.

Way to make me feel five years old, Keef.



:rofl:

[Patsy Stone]

45. Although I didn't get it

This would be me feeling about five:

[bleever]

49. Ted Bissell.

Why do I even remember that?

:rofl:

[Patsy Stone]

54. Well, I don't know

Did you want to be him? (and I think it's Bessel).

I wanted to be her and wear all of her clothes. That flip on the bottom of her hair always fascinated me too. How did it stay? How many holes are there in the ozone layer from the hair and make-up department of that show?

[bleever]

59. You're right: Bissell is a carpet cleaner.

I didn't want to be him, but I could see why you would have wanted to be like Marlo.

[Patsy Stone]

63. The clothes! The apartment!

(Okay the apartment thing came to me later in life) And:



:loveya::loveya:

[bleever]

70. Rosey Grier singing, "It's okay to cry, little boy..."

While my dad sat there and chuckled, and said, "Yeah, and he knits, too."


:rofl:

:rofl:

:rofl:

[Patsy Stone]

74. Okay...

My mother loved him because he did needlepoint. He'd go on all the talk shows (like Merv and Dinah) and do needlepoint. LOL.

I'm sure Free to Be is available on DVD by now. "A doll! A doll! William wants a doll!" :)

[Berry Cool]

78. Actually, it was needlepoint.

Gives new meaning to that old "Welcome Back Kotter" insult:

"In your ear with Rosey Grier."

[bleever]

85. Berry, you've got the serious archival and editorial skills.

:thumbsup:

[bleever]

53. I agree that the baseball culture is the "real" story on steroids; Bonds

doesn't deserve the brunt of the reaction to the known and enabled use of juice in MLB.

[Patsy Stone]

60. True

but the name "Joe Schlobotnik" doesn't sell papers -- except to us weirdos here. We'd buy them. :)

[Berry Cool]

79. Baseball has got to clean itself up

for the sake of nice guys like Keith. :loveya:

[WolverineDG]

56. DON'T SHOOT, I'M HUMAN

:spray:

I think I might have my sign for the protest in April.

dg

[Patsy Stone]

57. Hopped up on goofballs!

That's an MST3K reference. Of course, everything was an MST3K reference at some point I'm sure. It's like when you see some old actress from the 70s and you say, "What was she in?" If you say "The Love Boat" you're right most of the time.

[Berry Cool]

80. There can't be enough MST3K references for me.

Keep 'em coming, Keith!

[SharonRB]

65. When did KO say he'd be on Franken's show?

I had forgotten all about it and I thought it was supposed to be yesterday. Guess I didn't miss it, but I didn't hear what Keith said.

[AlCzervik]

68. he said tomorrow, i'm pretty sure.

[SharonRB]

69. Thanks!

For some reason, today the stream of Franken's show wasn't working. I hope it's okay tomorrow.

[gkhouston]

91. he said Wednesday (today, 3/15) at 12:30pm EST

and don't forget the Chuckle Hut! Anybody wanna road trip? ;-)

[bleever]

66. DAMN! Almost coughed up a lung at "The Chuckle Hut, in Minot".

:rofl:

He sure is getting around these days.

[Berry Cool]

81. Drat, you mean he was kidding?

And here I was, all ready to buy a flight to Minot...until Northwest told me I'd have to sit in the middle seat or pay extra. :shrug:

[Muffstser]

71. Feuds Are Fun!

Jeepers, Keith...how would YOU know??? :)

[Patsy Stone]

77. And what was the other line

When he introduced the story? Something like a media feud not involving me?

Hi, Muff!

[bleever]

72. Howard Stern is the Milton Berle of satellite radio!

:rofl:


Some great laughs tonight.

Good show, Kahuna.

:thumbsup:

[Berry Cool]

82. Yeah, but does he DRESS like Milton Berle? No.

Come on, Howard. You know you want to. Don't be the Queen of De-Nial.

[Patsy Stone]

83. Okay... In that photo

he kind of looks like Howard. :scared: :)

[CBHagman]

84. Flashback!

Geez, what are they putting in the water here???

[RevCheesehead]

86. My vote for funniest line of the night:

When they showed the video clip of ** tossing in the 3-point shot, my Dad looks up and says "I wonder how many takes that took before he finally got it in."

My Dad, Mike Wallace; both 87, and sharp as ever. :)

:rofl:

[WestHoustonDem]

87. Just got home from work and missed it tonight. Hope I can stay up

for the rerun!

[RevCheesehead]

88. OK, I am officially in love - AGAIN - with this man!

Keith :loveya::loveya::loveya:

Some of the looks on his face during the Colbert Report - absolutely priceless!

Someone find me a Bay Air - I think I'm swooning!

[WolverineDG]

89. here ya go

::pushes bay air into place::

swoon away, rev!
