[Nothing Without Hope]

1. The Church of Olbermann?? Cheese is sure to have a great comment

on that one!

The few TV news or news/satire people who dare to tell the truth about the Bush Administration's crimes stand out. The American publlic is starved for integrity, and I think many are coming to realize that what they are fed by most corporate media - especially TV - is propaganda.

Olbermann has integrity, and it shows.

[Berry Cool]

2. The Church of Olbermann? When are the services?

And how can we parishioners and true believers best express our "worship"?

Do they sell statues?

:rofl:

[Nothing Without Hope]

3. For a group used to thinking of KO in terms of Gull Bay, I think we'd

better steer clear of further discussion of "services"!
:evilgrin:

Re statues, I think a KEITH OLBERMANN ACTION FIGURE would be just peachy. It could come with accessories like a baseball cap and bat, a handsome gold-and-black striped tie, a Bill O'Liely dart board, and a nice stuffed bear to remind him of his many meaningful encounters with Mama Bay-Air at Gull Bay. (You can think of some more, I'm sure.)

(edited to correct my spelling of "Mama Bay-Air")

[RevCheesehead]

5. I want a Keith bobblehead.

And also, a "smash-m-up" Ann Coulter doll. You can put the pieces back together and smash her up real good, over and over. For the ASTBers, there will be Alison and Monica action figures, and for Crispi, her very own brand of pink furry handcuffs. We'll need a whole line of beanie baby Bay-Aires. Oddball and "best of Keith" DVD's, and a whole line of snarky Keith bumperstickers....

Damn, this could be a whole lotta fun! :7

[SharonRB]

11. LOL -- Didn't see this before I posted just below.

And there would have to be an MJ puppet figure.

[crispini]

15. Good heavens, we certainly have

an expert on tchotchkes here! Sounds great! :woohoo:

[RevCheesehead]

16. Tchotchkes?

:shrug: You one of the chosen people now?

[crispini]

19. You know, swag, trinkets, stuff like that.

Free stuff you pick up at conferences and so on. Doesn't everyone call that kind of thing tchotchkes? I thought it was a pretty common word. :shrug:

[RevCheesehead]

21. I call 'em "freebies"

But since this is a church, we should at least ask for donations.
(see? you guys need my experience!)

[crispini]

28. There ya go.

Hey, we could start a non-profit! :evilgrin:

[SharonRB]

22. It's actually a Yiddish word

Knick knacks would be comparable in English. So many Yiddish words have become part of the vernacular that people don't even realize where they came from.

[gkhouston]

24. I always figure that if I'm not sure how to spell a word

it's probably Yiddish. ;-)

[WolverineDG]

26. you're from louisiana

& you didn't say "lagniappe?" :wow: ;)

dg

[crispini]

27. Not all rednecks are cajun, darlin.'

I don't know where I picked that word up, but it's pretty common around here, anyway. :shrug:

[WolverineDG]

30. i've heard it too

around here, the term is "monitos."

dg

[Gogi]

31. It finally dawned on me last week that the cartoon of KO...

they use on Countdown, the one where his head moves up and down, IS meant to represent a bobblehead doll!

[gkhouston]

32. Good morning. Would you like cream and sugar in your coffee? n/t

[Gogi]

33. I'm a tea drinker.

HATE coffee! Blech!!Yech!!Ptooey!:spray: :spray: :spray: :spray: :spray: :spray: :spray:

[gkhouston]

34. I don't drink it.

I just hack it up with a razor blade and snort the grounds. ;-)

[RevCheesehead]

35. Reeter? Is that YOU??

:scared:

[gkhouston]

36. bad, bad Cheese. Go somewhere

that has a corner and occupy it. ;-)

Actually, many years ago my friend Mary managed about half a dozen methadone clinics (when it comes to jobs, if it's low-paying and you can do it with all your clothes on, Mary's done it) and she used to have to get up very early to get to her job site on time. One of her coworkers asked her how she did it and she told her that she snorted coffee grounds, not realizing that said coworker was severely humor-impaired. A couple of days later the coworker tentatively asked her if that wouldn't make for some rather unsightly residue when you blew your nose...
:rofl:

(responded to your PM, btw)

[RevCheesehead]

37. I couldn't resist.

who first mentioned razors, anyways?

LOL. I can't begin to describe all the gullible people I've encountered. And some, sadly, are humor-impaired beyond help.

(got it, thanks)

[SharonRB]

10. There would probably also be an Ann Coulter doll

with her head torn off.

[WolverineDG]

7. we send ties n/t

[crispini]

29. Services every night at 8, EST.

At your MSNBC channel near you! ;)

[RevCheesehead]

4. I wanna be Pope.

Pope Cheezy of Olbermann.

My first act as Pope will be to appoint Berry as head of all Keith images and icons. I will later announce the other appointments for the KOEBers.

Bless you. O8)

[Nothing Without Hope]

6. Was there any question? OF COURSE you are Pope! It's fate! n/t

[WolverineDG]

8. what should we call the confessional?

the boiler room? :evilgrin:

:hide:

dg

[RevCheesehead]

9. YES!!!

:bounce::rofl::bounce:

[SharonRB]

12. Absolutely!

[gkhouston]

13. what kind of "indulgences"

are you selling? :evilgrin:

[RevCheesehead]

14. Oh, the usual...

chocolate, grey goose vodka, photos of Keith, key to the boiler room....

What's yer pleasure?

[Nothing Without Hope]

17. "What's yer pleasure?" Now THAT's a loaded question, especially

when it involves the key to the boiler room!!!

:evilgrin:

[RevCheesehead]

18. Why do you think it got MY attention?

That's a bartender's line, if ever there was one. :loveya:

[crispini]

20. Honey, we're cookin' now!

Can I answer "e" for "all of the above?!"

[gkhouston]

23. does the key to the boiler room include

an "action" figure? :blush:

[RevCheesehead]

25. BWAHAHA!

Oh, SPARK-EEEE!! :rofl:

We could have a whole line of Sparky products: mugs, posters, lighters, blow-up dolls action figures....

[Berry Cool]

39. Thank you, Your Holy Cheesiness!

Ah, to be in charge of ALL the Keith images and icons...*CLUNKKKK*

[RevCheesehead]

40. Quick! Someone shove a Bay-Air under her!

I knew you'd love it. :D

[gkhouston]

41. wait a minute...

all those "Berry frolics with the Bay Airs" pictures that Botany's been selling to Scooter Libby... they weren't what Scooter thought...? They were just us providing Berry with something soft to land on after another KO-induced swoon??

:rofl:

[RevCheesehead]

43. Of course.

I thought you saw this:
http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=315&topic_id=30466&mesg_id=30466

[Berry Cool]

44. Oh Lord. The mere THOUGHT that I could possibly have been Scooter's muse

leads me to :scared:.

No, I was NOT doing anything like that with those Bay Airs! Not at the age of ten, OR when the Bay Airs were older!

Please! :puke:

The Bay Airs were shoved under me against my will. Had I not been fainting at the time (no doubt over contemplation of something like the dent in Keith's upper lip), I would never have fallen on one to begin with. I did not want to fall on a Bay Air, anyway. I wanted to fall on Keith, but not a soul here would oblige me by shoving him under me.

I am not now, nor have I ever been, a Bay Air-asexual.

Thank you.

[Patsy Stone]

38. Look how cool that is!

:woohoo:

[Berry Cool]

42. Very clever positioning, Patsy.

Then again, maybe discussing "positioning" on this thread is a bad idea.

Anyway, did you guys know (I found this out from reading ancient articles) that there once actually WAS a Keith Olbermann doll? It was during his SportsCenter days. Disney World used to sell them at its ESPN souvenir shop (I don't think they have them anymore, they probably now sell all their ESPN tchotchkes at the ESPN Zones). You pulled its string and it said SportsCenter catch phrases.

Of course, I want one so badly I can taste it (the wanting one, not the doll). But I've never even seen one up on eBay. The lucky people who got one must be hoarding theirs. They stink.

[Berry Cool]

45. My children, welcome to the Church of Olbermann...

Our layperson, Berry, will now lead the congregation in the Laying On of Hands.

On second thought, forget it. Berry will handle this part of the services herself. Congregation dismissed.
