[Patsy Stone]

:loveya: Anyone?

[Sydnie]

1. Present and accounted for!

:loveya: Keef is BACK!

[bettyellen]

2. a ha!

i looked in election results... let me put a shout out over there...
back in a minute!
:loveya:

[crispini]

3. Hi ladies!

It's good to see da man.... :loveya:

[seito]

4. Checkin In

:hi:

Keef's back...:loveya: :loveya::loveya:

[Patsy Stone]

9. Ah, and it is good.

He's not wearing our tie though! :)


:loveya:

[bettyellen]

39. his suit is too dark, now he knows what he's

wearing tommorrow.
:loveya: :loveya: :loveya:

[Patsy Stone]

48. Darling

if it's that gray suit, I'm cracking skulls. :)
LOL!

[crispini]

You mean too dark for THE tie?

Hm..... really?

[bettyellen]

63. it's black on my screen....

i think with the navy one, it's perfect.

[crispini]

94. Well,

[rehema]

121. I Like Keith in his dark suits

it makes him look more sexy

[DemReadingDU]

137. Hi rehema, Welcome!

:loveya:

[Tess49]

10. Just staring at that picture. Golly, he's cute!

[Sydnie]

14. He's the whole package for sure!

Welcome Tess!

[bettyellen]

17. Welcome to DU and the KOEB, Tess!

:hi:

[Tess49]

88. Thanks!

I've been watching Keef for a long time. I've been reading these threads and, finally, just had to jump in.

[DemReadingDU]

101. Hi Tess! Welcome!

:loveya:

[Patsy Stone]

20. We hope you'll become a regular.

It's sort of addicting, though. Forewarned is forearmed. :)

[gkhouston]

45. So, Patsy, are we staying here, or going home to ERD?

I can deal, either way. I miss "home" but we have attracted some new blood in GD...

[Patsy Stone]

62. I know

I don't know. Maybe we should take a poll? It worked out so well last time. :)

I want to go home, but I understand why it might be better to stay here. There were several people in ERD who want us to come back, and I guess if we go, we can always post the relocation thread in here. We also attracted newcomers in the Lounge, and often there are several threads re: KO floating (ooh, floating? :loveya:) around.

Don't know...

Hi!

[Shopaholic]

86. There are pros and cons with each forum--

we get more views I think in the General Forum but ED was our first home and where we all found one another. The Lounge is fun but boy does it move fast!

[seito]

114. I think we should go home

...it is the sentimental side of me.

[Patsy Stone]

141. Me, too.

Let's go... Tomorrow. I'll post in this thread, and let people know.

:loveya: for our home, and our Keef.

[Sydnie]

152. YEAH! no more hunting around for the meetings!

:loveya: for Keef and :loveya: for going home!

[bleever]

158. Do it for understandinglife. You can't let gallantry like that

go unrewarded.

:)

[Patsy Stone]

164. I know

that was wonderful. :)

[gkhouston]

171. and I didn't even know he was reading us all the time

that was like getting a great big bear hug at the end of a miserable day at work. Let's go home.

[seito]

175. I know

With all the crap that is flung around DU, there are some really fantastic people here. I have to say that I am so grateful to have met up with this group. Somebody stop me cuz I am getting all sentimental AGAIN.

[Patsy Stone]

211. Seito?

:grouphug:

[seito]

244. Awwwww

Thanks, sniff, sniff... :grouphug:

[Patsy Stone]

255. Are we still doooooomed? :) n/t

[seito]

261. Of course we are

So I suggest we eat drink and be merry :)

[RevCheesehead]

195. Some floaty hearts for understandinglife:

:loveya::loveya::loveya:

and for Bleever: :loveya::loveya::loveya:

and for Sparky: :loveya::loveya::loveya:

and for all the other gents out there, brave enough to join us:

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

[seito]

245. Well said

:)

[sparky_in_ma]

269. Thanks Rev

I will guard your frosted flakes from those who would wish them harm.

[troubleinwinter]

193. Me too.

:+ There's no place like home.

[Miami Liberal]

25. Welcome to DU and KOEB! n/t

[crispini]

36. Welcome Tess49! nt

[Patsy Stone]

5. FOTF

Has it made him even more of a "distinguished" gray?
Aha! No "Ohio jokes, please." LOL

[Miami Liberal]

13. Looove the new avatar! n/t

[bettyellen]

FOTF ? what's that?

[Miami Liberal]

31. I was about to ask the same question.

Hi girl :hi:

[crispini]

40. Friends of the Family nt

[RevCheesehead]

108. Do you mean "Focus on the Family"?

Because that's the name of Dobson's group.

[crispini]

112. ah yes, you are correct.

I'm obviously suppressing it as "Too Stupid To Remember."

:loveya: for KO's killer blog! Ahhhhhhh.

[gkhouston]

well if they're going to focus on the family

why don't they concern themselves with domestic violence or teen pregnancy instead or worrying about whether or not a cartoon representation of a kitchen sponge is promoting homosexuality? Next, they'll be telling me that the pop-tarts in my pantry are fornicating and that's really going to tick me off, because if anybody's getting any action in my pantry, it had better be me.

[RevCheesehead]

144. Absolutely right!

Today, I preached for the second week in a row about SpongeBob, and how WE CHRISTIANS have a responsibility to speak out and tell Mr. Dobson how stupid he is.

Geez - it's just a SPONGE!

[bettyellen]

150. Action in the Pantry!! Bwaaaahhh! I'm never going to eat another Pop tart!

[gkhouston]

166. certainly not a frosted one, eh?

but Crispini is right... people are freakin' out over a sponge. Could we at least obsess about the putative sex life of something that has genitalia?

[crispini]

173. Ok, your subject line -- ewwwww! hee hee hee!

Man, this thread is always verging on the edge of a sex thread. :silly:

[bettyellen]

256. omigod, it's like you are reading my mind! ROTTFL !!

not frosted! BWAAAAHH!
i know someone trying to do really subversive sex stuff with cartoons hoping to be proscuted for obscenity. Maybe this will be his moment. I hope so!

[crispini]

33. I think he's just combing his hair a little differently.

Dobson's not worth THAT kind of worry.

[Miami Liberal]

46. Maybe the hair stylist doesn't come in on Sundays?

:shrug:

[gkhouston]

66. I don't think he's worried about Dobson. Pissed off is

more like it. Looks like his hair is brushed straight back, which is not what he usually does. It's probably exposing more of the gray he's had all along.

[Patsy Stone]

83. Yum, though

Really, just yum...

It must have sucked to be his inbox this week.

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

[RevCheesehead]

216. I think we better remedy that.

Starting tomorrow, everyone send "welcome back" love notes to Keith!

[Clark2008]

77. Speaking of which,

did we ever get an e-mail for Gary Schneeberger?

The f*cking jerk.

Yeah, that wasn't very "decent" of me, was it, Gary?

Perhaps Gary's just pissed off at Spongebob because his namesake is a slimy SNAIL in the show.

[Patsy Stone]

78. He's absolutely NOT worth the worry

Maybe it's that he blogged both on his b-day and on a Saturday night that did it? Couldn't someone here come up with something else he could be doing at those times. :evilgrin:

[gkhouston]

85. yeah.... the thing I was doing with my husband at those times...

not gonna say if I was thinking of anyone else... }(

[crispini]

89. Ooooo, the offers are out there....

:evilgrin:

[Clark2008]

127. Well, ahem, *I* certainly could think of things he could have been

doing on his birthday or on Saturday that would be much more fulfilling than blogging and he wouldn't have had to sit up (much) to do it.

It certainly would have been better for his heart. :evilgrin:

(Oh, I'm not worried about Gary. I just like to write scathing letters to idiots. LOL!)

[Catherine Vincent]

6. I'm glad he's back.

And I'm glad one of you mentioned he had a special today.

[bettyellen]

110. Hiya Cat! Wecome!

[crispini]

7. LOL, "No Ohio jokes, please." nt

[Miami Liberal]

8. Hi ladies

That's not our tie. :-(

:loveya: :loveya: :loveya:

[Patsy Stone]

11. LOL

I just said that. :) I think it is new, though.:loveya:

[crispini]

15. Tee hee!

Like Shopaholic says, we can't be disappointed if he doesn't wear it.

Pinky swear!

[Miami Liberal]

19. We'll see

I'll give him a month to wear it. :D

[crispini]

12. "Commission has every reason to inflate the numbers."

Ya, and the cameras are allowed only in safe areas, with long lines, for our public consumption. I'm soooooo cynical.....

[Patsy Stone]

18. Really?

I mean if we all can't vote here, why should they all be able to vote there? It's just like our elections, except here they DIDN'T show the long lines...

:)

[gkhouston]

35. Yeah, and how many people will be doing their damnedest

to get rid of that purple die tomorrow? Why not wear a sign that says, "Kill me please" or "Chop off this finger"?

[crispini]

43. Exactement! nt

[Greylyn58]

16. Here I am

He's Back and Thank God a voice of reason on today's election.

Welcome back Keith...The KOEB missed ya!!

:loveya: :loveya: :loveya:

[crispini]

21. Jeez, lookit the bulletproof vest on that reporter.

Like we'd get out and vote under those conditions.

Exit polling impossible -- ha!

[blueblitzkrieg]

22. What does KOEB mean?

I'm a huge Keith fan, but I'm not a lady. Can I post here? lol

[Patsy Stone]

24. All chromosomes are welcome :)

but you're gonna have to be patient if we drool and post :loveya:

:)

[blueblitzkrieg]

27. LoL Will do n/t

[Sydnie]

26. Sure you're welcome too!

Keith Olbermann Estrogen Brigade -- but we have men members too!

You have to have a strong stomach for these :loveya: though.

[blueblitzkrieg]

57. LoL, I think I can handle it

thanks for the welcome :hi:

[bettyellen]

32. men are welcome as long as you are not allergic to these...

:loveya: :loveya: :loveya:

if you're very nice, you may earn some yourself too!

[seito]

34. Welcome blue

you are not the only brave guy to wade through all our :loveya: :loveya: :loveya:

To our male members :yourock:

[blueblitzkrieg]

thanks for the welcome!

:hi:

[Miami Liberal]

37. Welcome, you have great taste in avatars. : ) n/t

[blueblitzkrieg]

47. Thanks!

we need more Keiths in the media, I'm proud to support him (I even got my mom hooked on his show :evilgrin:)

[Clark2008]

91. Yeah!!! Keith's ratings are jumping by leaps and bounds

I think it grew 128 percent from October to November.

Thank you for your patronage!

And welcome! :hi:

We like all Keith fans around here!

[sparky_in_ma]

38. Sure you can post

but those of us who are challenged Estrogen wise have to do the chores. We park cars, sweep up after, and when parties are held we bartend.:)

[Sydnie]

42. Hi Sparky!

I was hoping you would make it!

[sparky_in_ma]

49. Wouldn't miss it

I didn't answer the phone today so work couldn't get me.:evilgrin:

[Miami Liberal]

58. Hi Sparky

Did you bring your suspenders?

[sparky_in_ma]

67. Yup

got my valentines day suspenders out. Hearts all over them.:loveya:

[Shopaholic]

95. Hmmm. . Sexy.

Good wardrobe choice Sparky!

[Sydnie]

61. Good plan on your part

I, on the other hand, have been and returned already.

[Shopaholic]

55. Sparky!!!

How ya' doing sweetie? :loveya:

[sparky_in_ma]

59. Real great now

:grouphug:

[crispini]

50. Sparky!

I owe you a beer! :toast: :beer:

[sparky_in_ma]

71. Sound good

Cheers:toast:

[seito]

51. Hey Sparky

How goes it? :)

[sparky_in_ma]

56. Good

When you leave here, our I believe thread could use some kicks. I need that thread.:hi:

[seito]

64. I try to kick it every day

I think we all need it.

[Sydnie]

76. After the MTP threads and the Soros thread today

I might have to pay that thread a visit too. What a day it's been!

[seito]

248. I missed the Soros thread

That is probably a good thing :eyes:

[seito]

Done

:)

[blueblitzkrieg]

that doesn't seem fair

I can wash the dishes! :hi:

[sparky_in_ma]

81. Good, I hate doing dishes

I'll sweep up. The ladies really don't make much of a mess, cept for all the floaty heart thingies. They get stuck everywhere.:)

[Sydnie]

93. I think bettyellen might still be looking for a veil or two as well

from the party the other night. Keep your eye out for those ok?

:)

[sparky_in_ma]

104. um, (blush)

I haven't seen it, don't know where it went. (sparky kicks unidentified object under the couch.)

[Clark2008]

117. It's every woman's dream to have two men at one time:

one cooking the meal and the other washing the dishes.

You may... ;)

[sparky_in_ma]

130. LOL

like your avatar. I can't watch the show. It's been said that it's so powerful that even middle-aged men decide to become gay. I'd need a whole new wardrobe :scared: :)

[gkhouston]

136. we could dress you, Sparks.

You can trust us. :evilgrin:

[sparky_in_ma]

149. You do have good taste in ties

but I think it would be best if I stayed the way I am. I've got too much snark.:smoke:

[gkhouston]

177. Handsome man, in case you haven't noticed, we have

snark and to spare. We appreciate the beauty and uniqueness of snark and solemnly promise not to damage yours. Promise. Other bits of you might suffer a little, but the snark we won't touch. Trust us. :7

[sparky_in_ma]

180. : )

Of course I trust you. Checks in the mail?:)

[gkhouston]

215. exactly according to contract. :-) :-)

[Miami Liberal]

156. Amen sista! n/t

[bleever]

97. Don't forget checking coats, and taking car keys away from those

too swoony to drive.

:hi:

[gkhouston]

106. and with Sparky pouring the drinks, there's a lot of us

unfit to drive. :crazy:

[sparky_in_ma]

Good point

friends don't let swoony floaty hearts drive. :)

[seito]

120. So are you driving, or do we have to call a cab

Hi bleever :hi:

[bleever]

133. Hi seito. I think I'll rent a U-Haul and throw a bunch of pillows in

the back. You guys could fight over the drop-off order.

:)

[troubleinwinter]

178. You made me a promise. Demopedia is back up.

:D

[sparky_in_ma]

189. I went to do it

but in this beta Demopedia only those who joined before Dec 7 can join demopedia. I joined the 7th.:(

[troubleinwinter]

213. Lie to em. It's for the common good of KOEB.

[gkhouston]

41. very few of us are ladies

although most of us appear to be female...

[Sydnie]

53. Shhh -- you'll scare him! LMAO! n/t

[Greylyn58]

52. Keith Olbermann Estrogen Brigade n/t

[Patsy Stone]

23. 72%, 60% What's the diff?

I mean, isn't the outcome already determined? Oy.

[bleever]

109. Here's the link to where * said he already knew who was going

to win:

http://www.nytimes.com/2005/01/28/politics/28prexy.html

"What an a**hole." --W. Allen.

:hi:

[Patsy Stone]

200. Joey Five Cents!

"I've, you know, heard the voices of the people that presumably will be in a position of responsibility after these elections, although you never know," Mr. Bush said.
It's all over except the counting, and we'll take care of the counting." Should've really been the next line here.
And, maybe you're right about the meds, now he's hearing voices OTHER than the Lord's?

This may be the most :puke: I've ever posted in a KO thread. :)

To clear the palate: :loveya:

[bleever]

207. LMAO! You get all Mrs. Peel on his sorry butt, girl.

:7

[Viva_La_Revolution]

28. keef! on Sunday. cool

[bettyellen]

44. NIce pounding heart, Viva, welcome!!

[Viva_La_Revolution]

162. Oh, I have many for Keef!...

And... oh Keef!



and the ones I just snagged from crispini!

[DemReadingDU]

29. Hi Ladies, Sunday with Keith!

:loveya:

[crispini]

60. Hi Dem!

It's a good way to start the week, eh?

[DemReadingDU]

73. WooHoo!!

Those are great floaties, getting ready for Valentines Day!

[crispini]

30. Now, the Iraquis overseas had to register, but the ones IN

Iraq didn't have to register -- correct?

[bettyellen]

54. from what i heard they didn't-- they used some kind of local registry for

rationing or something....
and the ink.

[Patsy Stone]

72. We need the ink here

and the paper ballots, and the see-through containers.

[sparky_in_ma]

90. if we want to win elections

that's the only way to go.:thumbsup:

[Patsy Stone]

126. You said it!

Pour me a drink, please? :beer:

[sparky_in_ma]

172. k

:toast: sorry I was slow, my bad

[Patsy Stone]

226. Thanks!

And, no, it will not be reflected in your tip. :)

[WhirlyGirl]

102. Good to see KO back at his desk again...

... and the Ohio remark hit home to this resident of Franklin County.
~~ I'd be willing to stick my NOSE in a bowl of ink to prevent double voting, if it would finally mean that everyone in Ohio who wanted to vote would be allowed to!

--------
rationing or something....
and the ink.>> bettyellen

[Sydnie]

They just gave numbers about how many registered

so they must have registered before.

[crispini]

107. Look, Monica just mentioned registration.

Wassup with that? No wonder I'm confused. I've heard it both ways now.

[troubleinwinter]

220. 'riverbend', local blogger in Baghdad, said

something about voting being related to recieving their food allotment.

Wanna eat? Ya hafta vote.

[gkhouston]

224. wonder if KO knows? Not that he could report based on a single

blog entry, but he could bounce a lead back to the reporter there (Shuster, wasn't it?) for some follow-up.

[RevCheesehead]

234. Shit - that sounds like "Christian Missions" tactics!

You know - ya gotta hear the Bible before you eat, yada yada yada.

Jesus never did that. He simply fed them. No strings attached.

[gkhouston]

125. no, they had to register, too, I thought, and many didn't n/t

[suffragette]

65. now my Sunday's complete

:loveya:

[Patsy Stone]

68. How many died in the US on Nov. 2 trying to vote?

I think anyone killed on Election Day indicates a problem -- is it me?

[Clark2008]

69. Sorry I'm late!

I forgot because I'm not used to His Cuteness on a Sunday night!

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

[crispini]

74. Clark2008!!!!

Hey, didja ever finish your PNAC briefing? Share share!

[Patsy Stone]

92. Clark2008!

I've missed you. He looks scrummy, doesn't he? and it's a nice way to ease back into the week.

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

[crispini]

70. Man, a suicide bomber that lived.

Now THAT's fucked up in so many ways.

[Shopaholic]

79. His Cuteness-

I love it!

[gkhouston]

142. yes, I think a new phrase has just entered the KOEB lexicon n/t

[Sydnie]

82. Like the SUV guy the other day with the train.

very wrong!

[RevCheesehead]

100. So, would a failed suicide bomber - what - be fired?

Man, talk about failing in your job!

[RevCheesehead]

75. Hiya, Ladies (and estrogen-friendly gents)!

Nice to have our boy back in town! :loveya:

[seito]

84. Hey Rev

He is a sight for sore eyes :loveya::loveya: :loveya:

[Patsy Stone]

87. Wow! Hey, Rev.

Nice to see you -- and our boy. I know, brave men. :)

For KO: :loveya:

[bettyellen]

96. Patsy, I feel compelled to ask....

what is the maid fantasy that you refer to in Friday's thread?
Is Shoppa PM ing you good dirt?

[Patsy Stone]

103. No.

It was tangential and it started with a fantasy she had about a maid in another KOEB thread, I'll have to find it. Of course, I had to take it that one step further... it involved costumes... :evilgrin:

Drinky?

[bettyellen]

124. okay, gotcha... i've been bad myself and done too much belly/ table

dancing...the result of drinking before, during ,after and the again, before and during thursdays night show and rebroadcast!
neither of which i caught, because i can only dance and post, not dance, post and watch.
no more PUI.
for at least a month.

[Miami Liberal]

145. I hope you didn't leave the party

with the guy in the plaid pants who just wouldn't leave.

[sparky_in_ma]

154. It was a good dance

Thank You!

[Shopaholic]

139. No--the maid fantasy was not my original suggestion--I think I

just wanted to see him on a tropical island somewhere---someone else had the maid fantasy.

[bettyellen]

168. okay, Shopa, but what made you say Friday that KO didn't

have much of a vacation?
Spill it, you big tease!!

[Shopaholic]

186. My lips are sealed. Must protect my sources.

Just take what I give you and be happy with that--because it's all that I can say. I have been sworn to the utmost secrecy in most all matters related to His Keithness. :evilgrin:

[crispini]

196. You. Are. A. Big. Tease.

:spank: But we love you anyway. :D

[Shopaholic]

202. I have to be a tease about this and keep my lips sealed-

it's the only way to KEEP my source!

[news_junkie]

210. Amen sister...

I second that.

[Miami Liberal]

229. I've given up

I offered you liquor and money and you didn't bite. :D

I'll have to go find my own source.:P

[Patsy Stone]

228. It wasn't that

You once said you had a fantasy about a maid coming in and, I think, killing the gray suit. I then had to go "there" and ask if that was the only maid fantasy you had. I said it was tangential. :)

[Shopaholic]

270. OHHHH--Now I remember. . .

And you know, I've never gotten the whole maid fantasy thing-now I fantasize about HAVING my own maid to clean up behind me. . in so far as KO fantasies are concerned, let's just my lips are sealed about those too!!! :evilgrin:

[crispini]

80. this Nordland guy

looks like he outta be in a rockinroll band....

Nine suicide bombings. Wow. I still can't quite believe that it wasn't a total bloodbath. (Edit: hey, that's a good thing, just not what I was expecting.)

[Miami Liberal]

98. I just noticed something different about him!

His glasses!!!

edited because I'm a little embarassed at how excited I got.:silly:

[Patsy Stone]

118. Eagle-eye!

Very nice catch. Whaddya think? I like the old ones. My .02, but really, it SO doesn't matter. :loveya:

[Miami Liberal]

129. The old ones fer shur

although you're right, he's still hot. :loveya:

[crispini]

132. They're not all THATdifferent, are they?

The old ones were rimless too, right?

Hey, they're both totally yummy. :loveya::loveya::loveya:

[crispini]

99. Hey, I don't remember seeing Wal-Mart ads on here before?

New advertiser?

:puke::puke::puke::puke::puke::puke::puke::puke:

[Clark2008]

163. Ewwww....

But, that could mean that the redsters at Wal-mart know a rising star when they see one!

[Clark2008]

105. Yeah! They're busting the myths out of the Iraqi elections.

If the sheeple would just watch this show - they might learn something about what the Iraqis were actually voting for.

Maybe, the flap with Dobsen will bring in fundie viewers (who are there to monitor how "gay" Keith becomes from supporting Spongebob) and they will actually learn something. Maybe the dust-up wasn't all bad. :evilgrin:

[Patsy Stone]

111. Shrub looks like a four year old

with that stupid haircut on his stupid bonehead self.

:puke:

Talk about killing the mood! If I'm lucky enough to ever be in a sitch with KO where the mood is set just right, he better not bring any * footage!

[IronLionZion]

113. I'm here, I'm a straight male, I love KO!!!!

ILZ checking in :hi:

[Sydnie]

115. Welcome ILZ! n/t

[cry baby]

119. if you love KO, we love you!

:loveya: :loveya: :loveya:

[bettyellen]

135. hey ILZ, just don't get all scared like Botany, okay?

it's only cyber affection, you can always close the window if we get to be too much!

146. Welcome ILZ

If you are :loveya: tolerant, you will fit in great. :)

[crispini]

155. Welcome ILZ!

Some floaties for you! :loveya: for venturing into our thread. :evilgrin:

[sparky_in_ma]

160. Hi ILZ

We've got dishes and sweeping covered, care to do the coat check?:hi:

[bettyellen]

187. Sparks, you are too funny! I didn't see you here... did you think you'd

get to keep us all to yourself now that Botany is scared off?
Really, I think if any fella should be scared, it's you, Sparks!
:loveya: :loveya: :loveya:

[sparky_in_ma]

197. Nope, I want more men here

I need help with the chores. We've got all the hearts to clean up, dishes, drink glasses, veils, and coats to pick up. Whew, a man's work is never done.:nopity:

[crispini]

203. LOL, there ya go. A man who knows what needs to be done.

:bats eyes at Sparky: and you know we'll :loveya: for it. :7

[gkhouston]

204. is that violin playing "Ten Cents a Dance"?

and what aren't you telling troubleinwinter what to search for in Demopedia?

[sparky_in_ma]

208. I said

I would post a pic there, but in the beta of Demopedia I can't. I joined dec 7, the cut off was before the 7th.:-(

[gkhouston]

219. I thought the pic was already there, just waiting for us...

can't you put the pic somewhere else... a lot of the ladies around here seem to have a frightening amount of photo-posting savvy...

[sparky_in_ma]

225. I'm not real savvy

on a lot of posting pic stuff. I could e-mail a pic. I might try it in a pm, in case I mess up.:dunce:

[gkhouston]

231. I'm a dunce about this myself, but I think Shopaholic knows

how to do it, since she's posted some KO pics dredged from some lagoon that wasn't bottomless enough. And she's good about keeping deep, dark secrets although not so good about not letting other people know that she's keeping deep, dark secrets. :D Me, I just bury the bodies and smile quietly. Would you like to see the hole I'm working on?

[sparky_in_ma]

235. concrete

always cover the hole with concrete. Worked with Jimmy Hoffa.:evilgrin:

[gkhouston]

239. I haven't done that before...

could you come over here and supervise? By the way, no one's expecting to see you this evening, right? }(

[sparky_in_ma]

I'll mix it.

It's rough on the hands, that's a man's job. I'll try to figure out how to send one, promise.

[gkhouston]

271. and what about your hands? the other ladies aren't going

to like it if you spoil your hands mixing concrete for me... assuming they ever see you again after that experience.

[sparky_in_ma]

277. OMG

I'll leave a note with my family telling them where I'm going. Please don't put me in the hole.:scared:

[gkhouston]

282. well, all right, since you grovel so nicely.

But I'm going to keep digging. 'Cause you never know when a hole's gonna come in handy. :evilgrin:

p.s. You do know the water table is so close to the surface here that you can't really dig very deep, don't you? Houses here don't have basements.

[sparky_in_ma]

284. I didn't know that

I knew about Florida because my parent stay the winter down there. Here in the northeast we all have basements.

[gkhouston]

287. yeah, just thought you should know that wasn't my um, concrete,

plan for your demise. (That was my diversionary plan for your demise.) Office buildings and such have basements, but they're sealed and they usually have sub-basements below the basements that pump water all the time. When the pumps and/or seals fail, it is Not Pretty.

on edit: on the other hand, a lot of the houses down here are brick, which didn't seem that common on the houses I saw in the northeast, so all the clay around here must be good for something.

[sparky_in_ma]

291. : )

Glad you weren't planning my demise. I tried to send troubleinwinter a pm with a link to photobucket. I'm a novice so it may not have worked.:dunce:

[troubleinwinter]

246. He PROMISED me a pic of his fine self in his ugly gray suit.

[troubleinwinter]

257. He bought me a coupla glasses of cabernet and thinks I FORGOT the promise!

[sparky_in_ma]

273. Darn,

I thought you were slurring your words.;(

[bleever]

212. And don't forget, no matter what happens, we can't let the floor

get sticky.

:7

[Patsy Stone]

249. And fer chrissakes, make sure you put the seat down, k? n/t :)

[bleever]

266. ROFL. ..I'd be afraid to even put it up at this party. n/t

[Miami Liberal]

181. Welcome to KOEB, ILZ!

and floaty hearts for Jon Stewart. :loveya:

[cry baby]

116. Hi everyone, I'm late posting cause I have been gazing at that

picture of him. He has the prettiest eyes....such an interesting color!

Haven't been here for a while, took last week off since my lover, Keef, wasn't on. I sure was hoping he would wear THE TIE!

Here are a few hearts for him and a few for you guys::loveya: :loveya: :loveya: :loveya: :loveya: :loveya: :loveya: :loveya: :loveya: :loveya: :loveya: :loveya: :loveya: :loveya: :loveya:

[suffragette]

122. "underpromising and overdelivering"

Thanks Keith for pointing out through this how the number of expected voters kept going lower and lower, so the number today would seem higher than expectations.

[bleever]

123. What do you bet that * is so pink cuz they're still trying to get his meds

adjusted just right?

Or is he just embarrassed about Condi's hair?

:shrug:

[Patsy Stone]

161. It's her hair

it's definitely the hair... Oh, and the fact that he's a ASS!

:hi:

[bleever]

184. Hi Pats! Thanks for fighting for democracy...each in our own way.

:hi:

[Patsy Stone]

128. JK on MTP is on again at 10 p.m., right? On MSNBC?

I missed it. :(

[Sydnie]

140. Yes and no matter what they posted about it today

he did great!

:loveya: for JK too!

[Patsy Stone]

143. I knew it

I don't listen to idle gossip. :)

[Sydnie]

147. You were raised right Patsy! n/t

[RevCheesehead]

131. Ummm... it sure is nice seeing John Kerry again!

He deserves a few of these, too:

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

and, of course, the obligatory pool shot:

[seito]

151. Ahhhhhh JK

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

and that pic :evilgrin:

[Miami Liberal]

170. JK was great on Meet the Press this AM

Russert was telling him to disclose all his military records.:mad:

Hey Tim, what about disclosing all of Dubya's records?

[crispini]

167. Ooooo, Rev! nt

[Patsy Stone]

134. 150K troops until at least the summer.

Come on, do it now. BRING HOME THE TROOPS!

Really, one of the worst ideas ever this Iraq thing. Historically, monumentally bad. :puke:

Oh, I do like Barry McCaffrey, though.

[crispini]

138. OK, wtf is the yellow graphic the soldier was putting on the car?

and on the leaflet?

edit: Vietnamization.... :scared: A couple of YEARS?

[Patsy Stone]

148. We're going home tomorrow

Let's all return to the place we met and take our new friends with us. I know it's off-topic for that Forum, and I know it's silly and I know people are going to roll their eyes, but so what? If people really want to ignore us, it's only one thread per day. Let them put us all on ignore.

My .02

KO: :loveya:

[seito]

157. I will second that

:thumbsup:

[Miami Liberal]

159. I'm with you

Let's go back to the place it all started.:toast:

[cry baby]

165. I met you here in GD, where is home for you? n/t

[RevCheesehead]

185. 2004 Election Results and Discussion.

KO was the only one to air news of election fraud... that is where the floaty hearts were born! :loveya:

[cry baby]

190. Thanks, Rev. See you there!

:loveya: :loveya: :loveya:

[Shopaholic]

192. See I like GD because that way we can recruit more KO fans

and get more people to watch Countdown!!!!

[crispini]

169. I will be...

where-ever the thread is! :)

[Clark2008]

176. Who cares if people roll their eyes

We're still the most popular thread in town.

[Patsy Stone]

182. You betcha!

We also throw some ROCKIN' parties. What's not to like about that?

If they prefer, we can always throw in some drama and bitch a little, just so we don't lose the "feel" of Election Results. :evilgrin:

[Sydnie]

194. Speaking of drama, I haven't seen a DUDQ in quite a while n/t

[crispini]

198. Yeah, wassup with that?

No DUDQ meeting 'cause not much material lately?

There was a nice hissy fit thrown in the Lounge the other day....

[Sydnie]

201. and all the "KERRY SUCKS" threads from today too n/t

[seito]

205. Today was a PERFECT day for a DUDQ meet-up

O.M.G. We should have been at DUDQ code red. The performances were among the best I have seen in weeks.

[Patsy Stone]

218. DefCon 4! n/t

[Clark2008]

217. Heh... we'd also have to throw in a few of these

:tinfoilhat: so it's REALLY like Election Results. ;)

[seito]

232. May I rant a bit

The thing that got to me was thread titled

"Keith is trying to kill us all" and "Kerry sucks" were just fine, but threads that boost morale and mix in a bit of fun while keeping a toenail on topic were considered OT.

I will see your :tinfoilhat: and raise you :tinfoilhat: :tinfoilhat: :tinfoilhat:

[Sydnie]

238. I know what you mean -- Rant on!

I put people on ignore today and I have never done that before. (Too nosey I guess to use that button?) Almost an entire thread!

It seems we are firmly inside the circular firing squad and no one knows how to stop it and find common ground.

I was at work for the most part today so I missed a lot of the threads. I think I'm glad that I did too.

[sparky_in_ma]

241. That was during

the big "get over it" phase. The whole circular firing squad bit. Things seem to have settled down a little since then. I think it bugged some people that there was a positive thread when they wanted to shut down all discussion. I remember some tried it in the I believe, and you and Faye beat it down.

[Sydnie]

252. You must not have ventured out of the DU Green zone much today Sparky

It was the old Duck and Dodge out there today. Friendly fire is the worst!

But I still :loveya:!

[sparky_in_ma]

258. The Iraq election

brought it back out. I read a LOT of threads, but avoid posting. Flame retardant clothing is so uncomfortable.

[bleever]

254. KOEB: making sure the Dem Party not only has a big enough

tent, but equitable and fair restroom allocation.

:yourock:

[crispini]

280. Man, it sounds like I missed all the fun.

If you wanna call it that.

Just keep repeating: "DU is not reality. DU is not reality."

Honestly, sometimes it blows me away, the way people get on here and bloviate, but an awful lot of 'em can't be bothered to get their asses out and knock on doors or attend meetings or join local organizations or do any kind of real work that might make a difference. And how many people think that posting on DU *is* real work that might make a difference! Bwahahahahaha!

Look, now you've got ME ranting! Anyhoo, I know there are TONS of good activists on here, but about half the people who post on here are all hat, no cattle.

[bettyellen]

221. I like your resolve! To Election Results and Discussion we go!

:toast:

[DemReadingDU]

153. TasteLess.com?

I need a beer, to test this out!

[troubleinwinter]

174. Honestly. Why did Dad hafta call me during KO?!!!!!!

He calls every Sunday. I couldn't tell him, "I can't talk to you, KIETH is on!" He wouldn't 'get' it.

Ask me anything you want to know about the snow in Arizona. I have the whole story.

[crispini]

179. Hey, no Oddball, etc. tonight. Guess it's not appropriate.

I have to say, I like the segment, but I'm not missing it. I'd rather have more news. And more Keef.

[Patsy Stone]

183. The whole mess is an Oddball segment. n/t

[crispini]

188. Very light on the snark tonight, eh?

and no throwing papers! ok, I understand why, but here's hoping he doesn't make it a habit.

and now it's time to turn off Tweety. :P (Edit: MAN, I haven't seen him in awhile, he's looking a LOT older these days for some reason.)

[bettyellen]

206. Not snarky at all, but I guess it wasn't the mood. It must be really

fustrating for him doing this news special when no ones to sure what the news actually is. Nobody trusts what they are being fed, and I think it includes KO, too. When he said the bit about the closest observers being in Jordan, he looked a little pained.
Or else he's embarrassed by our party, and it's my fault for dancing on the tables Thursday. I'm sorry Keith. Unless you enjoyed it, in which case, you are welcome!
:loveya: :loveya: :loveya:

[crispini]

230. ROFL, bettyellen

*We* liked your dancing on the table. :evilgrin:

[gkhouston]

236. Sure did. I think Sparky even kept one of your veils

as a souvenir. He says he got there late, but I think we was watching the dance from a shadowy corner.

[sparky_in_ma]

243. Wasn't your fault

there was nothing embarrassing about your dance.

[bettyellen]

275. Thanks, so I can keep all the dollars people were throwing?

[sparky_in_ma]

278. Yep

the twenties were mine.:thumbsup:

[WhirlyGirl]

251. As an Ohio voter...

... what I want to know is: What was the average time Iraqi voters had to stand in line before casting their votes?

---------
no one's too sure what the news actually is. Nobody trusts what they are being fed >> bettyellen

[Patsy Stone]

191. No papers thrown at the end... Also, I guess, inappropriate.

Or, is he really pissed about FOTF and working on a Sunday?
Do you think that he doesn't love us anymore?

:loveya:

[gkhouston]

199. not a night for silliness would be my guess

he didn't throw papers the first night after the tsunami.. and I really didn't want him to. I don't think the news coming out of Iraq the next few days is going to be very pretty, unless we listen only to Fox.

[Patsy Stone]

209. Sadly, I think you're right. :( n/t

[RevCheesehead]

214. Well, I'd be pissed if I had a week off, and had to come back a day early.

That just sucks.
And for what? Viewers?

MSRNC has NEVER done anything noteworthy on Sunday night. It's kind of their documentary news-dump.

I think Keith deserved another day off, to offer us proper snark and oddball, along with news HE sees as noteworthy. Tonight was sort of like watching KO in a straightjacket...not free to be himself.

PS - glasses look the same to me. I think he (like me) needs a haircut. But the man is still scrumptious!

[Patsy Stone]

223. Glasses are different

Nosepiece and sides aren't dark anymore, I think. Look at the pic in the OP, I know it's difficult, but force yourself. :) See how there are dark half-rims on the top? I think they're gone now and the whole thing is rimless.

Imagine leaving a vacation to report on a sham election (sort of like ours) and not being able to enjoy yourself because the news was bad?
I'd be snarkier myself, but I think he was forced to do this because his ratings are so good (OMG, did WE do this?), they want the ad revenues.

I couldn't get to the remote fast enough, either, to get Tweety off the TV before he started taking. Ugh.

[bleever]

233. Hey Pats, can't we use that damn V-chip to protect us from Tweety?

He used to write a good column for the old SF Examiner before he decided to go for king of the dung heap.

I weep.

Okay, over it.

:)

[Patsy Stone]

242. Just turn it off: low-tech solutions are better. :)

"I weep." -- This made me laugh.

And I'm glad you got over it. Waste no valuable time on Tweety. Nearly hurt myself, too, getting to that remote.

I think he used to be a normal person once. Now it's all screaming and sputtering and he looks like he's just gonna explode out of the top of that suit. Blecch. :)

[gkhouston]

265. how can you even stand the sound of his voice?

It's almost as bad as fingernails on a blackboard.

[Patsy Stone]

286. Really, I can't

I watched him in 2000 with that whole SCOTUS fiasco and then I watched him because he was okay during the whole SCOTUS fiasco and then, somewhere after 9/11 he became absolutely detestable.

I don't know exactly what happened, maybe the same thing that happened to the rest of the Corporate Media, but I can't turn him off fast enough and I can't turn on KO until exactly 8 p.m. or I'll see him and hear him and start screaming.

[gkhouston]

289. wonderful invention called the MUTE button n/t

[Clark2008]

222. I'd be pissed off is someone smeared me all over the place,

particularly about my religion.


Oooh... we shouldn't talk about this. It just ticks me off.

[RevCheesehead]

227. Oh oh...there's a story here that I'm not aware of.

Is it in his blog? What did I miss?

(I had MAJOR family commitments this weekend, which took me away from my beloved DU.)

ANYBODY dissin' my Keith will not be held in the Lord's favor (and believe me, I HAVE SOURCES!!!)!

[crispini]

237. Yes, read the blog.

And please call upon your sources to smite James Dobson & co. :puke:

[RevCheesehead]

250. Well, I slapped down those bastards today in my sermon.

"Fer cryin' out loud, it's a SPONGE!...
And, people, WE CHRISTIANS have a responsibility to tell those people they don't speak on behalf of all Christians! And as long as we remain silent, THAT is the image that people in America have of the Christian Church."

Jesus didn't object to sponges - he lived and worked by the sea.

:evilgrin:

[bleever]

262. Rev, you rock. What a credit to 'sconsin you are. Shoot,

now I'm all sentimental for some nice Colby cheese.

:)

[RevCheesehead]

267. Are you flirtin' with me, Bleev?

'cause I really hope you are! :loveya:

[bleever]

279. LOL! If we could throw in some bratwurst, then sure...

And don't even get me started on krausening!

:hi:

[bettyellen]

263. You really are a Reverand? WOWEE!! I have to tell you, my Aunt Betty was

a Roman Cathoilic nun in Wisconsin for many years. Sisters of Sorrowful Mothers. Ever heard of them? She was like a church CEO building hospitals and when I was 10 years old, I spent a two weeks touring Wisconsin staying in convents and stuff. We experienced lake flies. I was from the Bronx, so it was all quite a shock! I was like Oh my everybody here is sooo white!

[RevCheesehead]

272. Yes, it's true. But I'm not all stuffy and constipated like SOME pastors!

"Lake Flies" - do you mean gnats, or mosquitos? Our mosquitos are plentiful and enormous enough to show up on radar. Or do you mean the horseflies that sting?

Nuns? We got plenty of them here, too (I don't know if they show up on radar, though). Which diocese was/is she associated with? I'm near Green Bay now, but have lived all over the state.

White people? Oh, you mean Germans and Norwegians. Ya, got dem, too. They tend to show up at church potluck suppers, Shopko, and Lambeau Field.

[bettyellen]

281. They were huge swarms of big black stinging flies.... somewhere near

Oshkosh maybe? Big black swarms of them. We drove from Milwaukee up to there and then across to Waubaush, Min. And then we went back and drove to Chicago. But we stopped in tiny tiny towns and me and my brother freaked out at the isolation and i swear, we never saw so many blondes in our life. She was heading a whole national convention of Catholic Hospital CEO's. She was it. We were really proud, even though she was essentially union busting for the pope. It was the Sisters of Sorrowful mothers, Roman Catholic in Milwaukee. My parents and their siblings were all from Ireland, they were always hoping i'd be a nun becasue we are both Betty! LOL.

[crispini]

274. yay, Rev!

:yourock: !!!!!!

[Miami Liberal]

276. You tell em, Rev! n/t

[seito]

240. If you have not read his last three blogs, you must.

They are masterpieces. He is at full snark.

Keef :yourock:

[Patsy Stone]

247. He blogged on his birthday.

That's how much he had to say about it. It was u-gly. :)

[Miami Liberal]

253. Did anyone here get a reply from KO

for their birthday emails? You don't have to tell us what he wrote back but it'd be nice to know if responded. :)

I wrote him 2 birthday emails and only one was kinda mushy. :loveya:
Gosh, the self control.:7

[Patsy Stone]

260. Girl, you showed restraint on a scale of biblical proportions.

I didn't send him one, I'm a loser. But I'm a loser who keeps to her word of her self-imposed KO email moratorium.

:loveya: KO

[crispini]

285. I didn't write about the birthday.

I figure that they probably put my name somewhere in the tie package :scared: and that was enough.

I DID write about the Dobson thing. That last blog was fan-freakin-tastic.

[gkhouston]

288. It *was* amazing. It made me think of a cat that's had his

fur rubbed the wrong way one time too often. Closest I've ever seen him to downright angry, and good for him. There wasn't a single thing he said that I don't agree with. Why do these people spend so much time focusing on other people's sex lives and so little time on simple kindness?

edited for spelling

[Miami Liberal]

290. Good thinkin'

Sigh, that blog was incredible. :loveya:

[seito]

259. Good Night All

It was so nice to meet up with all of you, and Keef :loveya:

I do not have much time to spend on Du anymore, I really love this thread, as I stated earlier. This thread and the I Believe thread, really keep my spirits up. :yourock:

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=203x293810

I BELIEVE

[Patsy Stone]

264. Sweet Dreams

Go herd those kids!
See you tomorrow (hope you can make it). We'll be in the right place then. :)

NGU!

I was late tonight. :(
I'll see you guys in KOEB tomorrow.:)
