KOEB 1/27/06 Happy Birthday Keith

[ralps]

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

[Olney Blue]

1. Hi ralps! I was waiting for you!

:hi:

[ralps]

3. Hi Olney Blue, & I was waiting for one of you all to start the thread

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

[Berry Cool]

133. Hi everyone and happy party!

Berry decided to REALLY be Berry After the Show tonight, so she could properly revel in the wonder of Keith.

My, he was in high spirits tonight. I wondered if the staff took him out for drinks before the show! :rofl:

[ralps]

137. Hi BerryBush, I'm glad you could join us

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

[Berry Cool]

168. Hi ralps

:hi: and all...I'm glad I could, too!

[Olney Blue]

2. Cheap shot from Mr. McClellan- about Kerry in Switzerland.

good job, Keith

[ralps]

4. Cool John Harwood is saying * is on the defensive

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

[Berry Cool]

134. I was so glad he pointed that out!

Trying to make it sound like Kerry was on a ski vacation...what a swine.

[RevCheesehead]

5. Hi, ralps!

Some pretty good snark, and David:loveya:Gregory to boot!

Keith: Happy:loveya:Birthday

[ralps]

7. Hi RevCheesehead, I hope your mom is doing well

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

[RevCheesehead]

15. As a matter of fact, she is!

She moved into her new room today. Dad called me later, and told me how nice it was. He sounded relieved - I could hear it in his voice.

And the really nice part: the people there did all the moving for them, so Dad (and I) didn't have to do a thing! :)

[ralps]

24. I'm glad she's doing ok, & that the moving went well

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

[RevCheesehead]

36. Couldn't ask for any better.

But I think in a week or so, it will start to sink in. Right now she's happy, and that's all that matters.

:hug:

[spooky3]

29. this is great news!

[RevCheesehead]

38. thanks, spooky!

:pals: I appreciate it

[bleever]

33. That's great news, Cheese.

I hope the whole transition is smooth and easy, for all of you.


:hug:

[RevCheesehead]

43. Thanks

Me, too. :hug:

[Olney Blue]

34. That's wonderful, Rev.

My husband's 96 yr old aunt is in a wonderful assisted care living home in Utah. I love visiting
her- they have lots of activities and the people are kind to her. The last time I visited,
we played bingo and mopped up the candy!

It's such a relief to know that she has 24h care.

[RevCheesehead]

52. That's the best part of all.

Not having to worry if Dad can handle caring for her at night.
Even the word "relief" isn't strong enough. :)

[Clark2008]

64. Yea!!! For Rev's Mom!

:hug:

How are you, my sweet?!

[RevCheesehead]

68. Hi, Clark!

I'm doing much better, thanks! I'm actually getting caught up on some things around here - including SLEEP!!! :)

How are the men in your life doing?

[Clark2008]

76. Fine, fine.

Glad to see you and yours are doing so very much better!

[Berry Cool]

138. I'm happy to hear it too, Rev.

It's gotta be resting a bit easier on your mind.

[CC]

99. That is good news

if anything can be said to be good about it all.:hug: At least took some of the burden off both you and your dad's shoulders. Still praying for your mom, and you and your dad.

[RevCheesehead]

103. Thanks, ferrettessa!

Hey! You made it for a live thread again!!! :woohoo:

[CC]

111. Semi, here then suddenly

can't get the page to load. Thought my router was going until blue was having the same problem.

[RevCheesehead]

116. Nah, I think Keith broke DU again.

We've been at Level 2 practically all day.

[CC]

120. Problem is the router

is getting ready to go. Just hoping it hangs on a while longer.

[ralps]

123. It happened for me too

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

[Patsy Stone]

175. That's the best news, Rev!

So glad to hear you can finally begin to relax a bit. :hug:

[Olney Blue]

9. Hi Rev, happy Friday!

:hi:

Scooter Libby trial will be very interesting!

[RevCheesehead]

19. Hi, Olney!

Shabbat Shazam to you, too! :hi:

[Berry Cool]

136. David Gregory looked hot tonight.

Loved that paisley tie! :loveya:

[ralps]

6. David Gregory taking a look at *'s legacy, to me it looks like he won't

have much of one. :hi: :loveya: :hug: :pals: :woohoo:

[spooky3]

12. His biggest "legacy" is the one that got him into graduate school

despite no qualifications whatsoever.

[RevCheesehead]

13. Are you kidding?

He'll go down in history as the worst pretender ever - one who was never legitimately elected to office, one who manufactured an enemy to take the nation to war, one who's destroyed a surplus economy....

It won't be flattering, but I assure you, he'll be remembered.

[ralps]

17. Maybe I should have said that he won't have a positive legacy LOL

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

[Olney Blue]

14. He will have a legacy- but it will be one of shame.

[Berry Cool]

139. Yeah, his great hope now is that

200 years from now, the education system will be so bad that no one who's alive at the time will have been taught anything about how bad he was.

[spooky3]

8. hi, y'all! and happy birthday to the Keef!

:hi:

[ralps]

11. Hi spooky3

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

[Olney Blue]

18. Hi spooky! What's new with you?

[spooky3]

32. playing lots of tennis or working during KO most nights

so it's nice to be able to be here tonight!

[Olney Blue]

37. Indoor, I presume?

[spooky3]

46. yes, ma'am, although until this week we almost could have played

outside, don't you think?

What's new with you?

And what do you think of the Wal-mart legislation in MD?

[Olney Blue]

60. I love it that the Dems in the state legislature overruled

Ehrlich and forced Walmart to provide health insurance.

I want Ehrlich OUT of the governor's office. (are you from MD?)

Not much new with me- just busy at work!

[spooky3]

79. I'm in Arlington VA--but I agree with you.

I wish we could trade our legislature for yours!

[Olney Blue]

85. Yes, we have some cool legislators here.

(but at least you have Dem governors!)

[Olney Blue]

87. talking to myself again...

meant to reply to OP

[gkhouston]

186. you're in Arlington? I didn't know that.

I used to live there. Glad I don't have to listen to Allen anymore. :crazy:

[CC]

124. Hi Olney , hope you

called Barbara and Paul and ask them to say yes to a filibuster. I did and made the SO call today since he is home.

[CBHagman]

178. I want Ehrlich out of there too, Olney Blue.

Will I see you on the front lines of the election battle this year? :hi: Got any tips for volunteering? I usually do some work with the Montgomery County Democrats each election season, except for last time, when I was a Kerry Traveler.

[Olney Blue]

182. I have been going to some local Dem meetings in upper Mo. county-

I hope we can meet sometime! Sounds like we are neighbors!

[CBHagman]

184. Yes, we should.

I live in the southern part of the Full Monty County, just above the District line.

:hi:

[RevCheesehead]

22. Hey, spooky!

It's party time! :party::bounce:

[ralps]

10. Scooter Libby trial starting a week from today YAY!!!!!!!!!!!

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

[crispini]

171. Dang! That's fast!

Hi ralps! Here after the show enjoying the thread! :hi:

[WolverineDG]

16. Evening everyone!!

:hi: I'm so glad the weekend is here. Bush at 51% disapproval?? :woohoo:

dg

[ralps]

20. Hi WolverineDG, Cool!!! about *'s disapproval

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

[WolverineDG]

49. hiya ralps!

:hi: that rating is one of the few things i feel good about right now.

dg

[Olney Blue]

21. Hi wolverine- I would think his disapproval would be even higher!

How was work today?

[WolverineDG]

51. slow

this week was weird. only had to go to court once & on wednesday, got into an argument with someone who called the office, asked for me, & then when i answered the phone said "no, you're not dg." :crazy:

dg

[Olney Blue]

81. Was it the NSA?

:shrug:

[WolverineDG]

118. no it was a client

who was looking for an attorney who used to work in my office (& btw, her name isn't even in the neighborhood of mine, so i don't know how she could have gotten confused about which atty she needed to talk to). :crazy:

dg

[RevCheesehead]

25. You're here in real time!!

:woohoo:

51%? Ya think Keith won't notice he didn't get his tie yet? :evilgrin:

[WolverineDG]

57. i think so

and he might be glad since most people seem to have some sort of fashion-blindness this year & keep voting for the really god-awful ones. vote red! vote red!

and btw, ko, if you're reading this: what you're wearing is the correct way to combine stripes. :thumbsup:

personally, i'm a bit down in the dumps tonight tho.

dg

[RevCheesehead]

63. Awww.... c'mere...

(((:hug:)))

At least you weren't waiting delivery of your brand new Taurus. :)

[WolverineDG]

71. thanks rev

it's that most wonderful time of the year for me...my bd + valentines day - having someone special = annual pity party.

dg

[RevCheesehead]

80. when is your b'day?

And how can we snark ya into a better mood? :hug:

I always do Valentine's Day by watching "In and Out" (Kevin Klein) and "Mr. Wrong" (Ellen). Both remind me that things could be much, much worse. (and both remind me of former b'friends)

[WolverineDG]

109. next saturday n/t

[ralps]

119. We'll have to remember that

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

[WolverineDG]

122. candy is dandy

but money is always the right size & the right color. ;)

dg

[Berry Cool]

147. We will make you feel better.

Maybe we can't all send money, but it IS something.

[CC]

128. You need to do something

anti-valentines day. A party or girl's night out might be fun.
The first time I tried replying it hung up so have the answer to when your b-day is. Though if you are like me you don't tell anyone unless it is far enough away they won't remember. Too late though.

[Berry Cool]

146. Oh, Wolfie, I feel for ya. Believe me.

The only difference is my b-day isn't this time of year.

Look on the bright side. On Dan's show today, Keith said his b-day celebration consisted of having lunch with some friends and reading b-day e-mails from people including his family...one of whom (he would not mention the name) got the day wrong.

Uh, Jenna, I think you been busted. (After all, how could MOM ever forget? And Dad? Not likely.)

[WolverineDG]

153. Don't be too sure about Mom

She once (within my hearing) told someone that my birthday was April 6, which is my younger brother's birthday.

dg

[Berry Cool]

141. The remark about Keith being excited about buying a car

was the first thing that made me think "Has he been drinking tonight?"

Then, when he said it was a Taurus... :rofl:...I KNEW he'd been drinking!

[Greylyn58]

23. Howdy Everyone

Hope everyone is doing well. I was home sick today from work(bad cold and no health insurance). Really shouldn't have stayed home--can't afford it, but I feel terrible so I did.

Keith is looking good tonight. :loveya KO :loveya:

[ralps]

27. Hi Greylyn58, I hope you'll get better soon

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

[RevCheesehead]

28. Hi, Greylyn

Sorry you're sick. At least you have the love and warmth of your good buddy to keep you company. :hug:

I'm glad you're here to celebrate with us! :)

[Olney Blue]

53. That's too bad- hope you are feeling better tonight, Greylyn.

:hug:

[CC]

130. Sorry to hear

you are sick, Hope you are feeling better soon. Maybe some other states will pass a Walmart Health Ins bill now that MD has.

[Berry Cool]

149. Take care, Grey.

Hope Nurse Sheridan is looking after you well.

(and no sexist comments please, no reason Sheridan can't be a nurse!)

[bleever]

26. Happy Birthday, Keith!

May you get what you want, and not regret it later!


:toast:

[ralps]

30. Hi bleever

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

[bleever]

35. Happy Friday, ralps!

:toast:

[RevCheesehead]

31. Hey bleev -

Congrats on making the front page of DU! :thumbsup:

It's an honor to know ya. :patriot:

[bleever]

47. Why, thank you! Writing stirring Senate speeches that

are never delivered is becoming a specialty for me.

:)

[spooky3]

55. beautifully written! Thanks, I had not seen this previously.

Well done!

[bleever]

61. Thank you. Maybe I'll deliver this speech myself,

to the bathroom mirror while shaving.


:(

[RevCheesehead]

58. Well, you certainly got everyone's attention here.

Have you considered political speechwriting? You could be the liberal answer to Peggy Noonan - and much better looking, too. ;)

[bleever]

72. If I could make the hearts of swing voters go pit-a-pat, I'd be happy.

"You red-staters and Reagan Democrats: Hear me now and believe me later."


:rofl:

[RevCheesehead]

84. ...what?

were you saying somthing? :9:loveya:

Nice "moobs." :rofl:

[bleever]

100. Moobs??!!

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


Never heard that one!

[RevCheesehead]

105. yup.

"man-boobs." :7

[bleever]

107. Okay, I'll wear a shirt when I'm on Scarborough.

:rofl:

[Berry Cool]

150. So what you're saying is, essentially, that Anna Benson would say

that this guy has "huge breasteses"? :rofl:

[Olney Blue]

106. Hi bleever- hey, you're kind of cute!

:loveya:

[bleever]

110. To be honest, that's my less-attractive older brother,

Fabio.

But he's done okay with his limited gifts.

:)

[RevCheesehead]

115. It would serve you right if Class Warrior showed up

and pounded your ass into the ground. :)

[bleever]

129. LOL. That's my OTHER brother. C-Dub looks like this:

[RevCheesehead]

132. I should have known...

by the cheezy grin! :7

[gkhouston]

183. and truthful... just for the novelty value, eh? n/t

[ralps]

39. LOL Keith's mailing it in

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

[Berry Cool]

151. Well, he DID say that the other part of his b-day celebration would be

that he wasn't going to do any shows on Countdown tonight that he didn't want to do. No "stories my producers forced me to cover" tonight!

[Botany]

40. What happened to countdown?

The Wall Street Journal .... no point to try to filibuster

A Fox News Hack's Book about * Barns :puke:

THEN GOP CALL GIRL Norah O'Donnell?



point ..... her hubby owns a restaurant in D.C. that serves rich repugs &
lobbyists. * has been a guest there too.

[ralps]

45. Hi Botany

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

[Botany]

50. hi

:bounce:

[RevCheesehead]

Hi, cuddles.

"Let the eagle soar..." :crazy:

[Berry Cool]

155. Aw, c'mon, Bot, you know you were just looking for an excuse

to post that picture of Norah.

Please note that nowhere on the show did Keith endorse the statements of any of the people to whom you objected. However, he actually has enough of a sense of fairness to allow them to speak their piece without shouting them down (unlike the Faux News gang).

And at least I didn't have to listen to Joe Scarborough as a "Hardball Hotshot" praising Oprah Winfrey for her apology and saying it was time someone stood up for truth again after all the lies a certain president told us...and he meant CLINTON... :puke:

Man, I was yelling at the TV! "WHAT ABOUT YOUR INTERN, JOE????? WHAT ABOUT *YOUR* INTERN????????"

*whew* I had to say that. Thanks.

on edit: Keith is getting a lot of DU crap flung at him tonight for admitting that maybe the Democratic Party isn't the most effective party in the world. Once again the accusations are flying that he's being "reined in by GE." :puke: Please go wander the threads and help show him some love. :-)

[CBHagman]

179. Let it out, BB!

I scream at my TV, too. Mostly it's "Bugger off, you nasty little man" every time * displays his puss in public. But that's one of the more printable things I say. :evilgrin:

[Olney Blue]

41. Keith is getting a white 2006 Ford Taurus?!!!

[bleever]

54. KO doesn't drive because he hit his head getting on a subway

train and it affected his depth-perception, if I recall correctly.

[Olney Blue]

65. Wow! That's too bad- must be kind of dangerous.

[RevCheesehead]

42. Oh, Keith - you scamp.

We know you don't drive. I think that was well-covered in Gull Bay. :D

[Berry Cool]

157. Still, he had me going there for a while.

I thought he had lost his mind...or was drunk.

Then again, he did say on Dan's show today that deadpan humor is the hardest thing to do successfully in acting...

[RevCheesehead]

163. He was dying to say "it's my birthday."

I think he's missing our tie. Don't worry, Keith, it's coming - just as soon as we pick it out, argue about the note, pay Crispi, and get it sent your way! :rofl:

[ralps]

44. It's Dogs on parade + RoboStampy (a robo elephant)

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

[Clark2008]

48. He bought a FORD!

:bounce:

I LOVE Fords!! I have a Mustang - my fourth - myself.

He bought a FORD!!!

Wait - how's he driving? He has no depth perception!!!

[ralps]

56. Hi Clark2008

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

[Clark2008]

62. Hi Ralps!

My hubby is wondering why a man with no family would own a family car. LOL!

We're gonna get me a newer Mustang in about a year - a 2005 or 2006. I LOVE those to pieces!

[Berry Cool]

158. Clark, you been punk'd.

Even worse than me!!!! :rofl:

[Clark2008]

177. So, he didn't buy the car?

:shrug:

I don't get it.

[gkhouston]

187. what was in flames on the parkway?

a car carrier...

[Berry Cool]

189. Clark, despite the fact that a joke isn't funny if it has to be explained,

here you go...

Keith claimed to be "not all here tonight" for various reasons (it's Friday, Chinese New Year is coming...yeah, Keith would be unstrung over anticipating Chinese New Year...right) and because he had supposedly bought a brand-new 2006 Taurus that was being delivered to him at the studio after the show, and called it a "sweet ride" and talked about how excited he was about driving it home. (This, despite the fact that more than a few of his fans know perfectly well that he doesn't drive, and why.)

Then the very first thing he did on Oddball was show footage of a backup on a highway, then said something line "Wait...that's SECUACUS!" And then a car trailer full of Tauruses was shown stopped on the highway...ON FIRE. With Keith screaming "Wait--MY NEW CAR!" And saying "Oh well, looks as if I'm WALKING back to the Lincoln Tunnel tonight!"

See? Joke. Based on the footage he knew he would be showing. He knew there's be a trailerful of Tauruses on fire in Secaucus, so he made a joke in which he implied that a fire had consumed his brand-new car.

And, at the end of it, acknowleged that he was pulling our legs and said "I don't even drive."

Oh well. I guess it was a bit complex to go over as well as he hoped. Especially because we're all so used to him disclosing personal anecdotes to us that our first instinct is to believe every word. Even when he says he's DRIVING home.

[gkhouston]

191. I think the funny part is...

that we can deduce that Clark was watching Countdown with Gavin and not exactly keeping her mind on Keith. :rofl:

[ralps]

59. Massachusetts Murder Mystery

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

[ralps]

66. LOL Janet Reno Singing, Gack Ashcroft & Powell singing,

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

[Clark2008]

74. Al Gore is such a cutie!

The Al Gore Macarana. Hee hee.

[Muffstser]

67. Home in time to see the Political Sing-Off!

"Let the Eagle Soar" is totally my "Moment of Zen." Never fails to make me laugh!!!

[ralps]

70. Hi Muffstser

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

[Olney Blue]

78. Hi muffster!

Al Gore doing the macarena- LOL.

Damn, he would have been a great president.

[Clark2008]

104. I am so lucky.

He was MY senator for most of my coginitive life before he became MY vice president.

Love that Al.

[Berry Cool]

159. Why would Al Gore have made such a great president?

Because he never would have done the Macarena in public. That's why.

[Olney Blue]

170. Amen.

[WolverineDG]

69. DAMMIT! NOW THE DOGS ARE HOWLING

Damn Ashcroft "Eagles Soar" clip! :grr: :grr: :grr:


dg

[RevCheesehead]

73. ....

:rofl:



no, really - -


:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[Muffstser]

75. Let the EEEEEEEEEAGLE SOOOOOOOOOOAR!!!!

(Sorry. If it makes you feel any better, Muffin is yowling.)

[RevCheesehead]

96. A vibrato so wide you can walk thru it.

Hi, Muffy! :hi:

[Clark2008]

113. LMAO!!

Only music people get that (I sang and played, oh, about a dozen instruments, including oboe, piano, guitar, dulcimer and flute).

:rofl:

[RevCheesehead]

121. We used to openly mock the voice divas on campus...

they had at least a 1/4 tone vibrato going. Basically, we'd say "Pick a note - ANY note will do - then stick with it, please."

(organists are very snarky) :D

[WolverineDG]

126. i always wanted to smack

the damn show-off first sopranos who just HAD TO reach that high "A" in the national anthem.

dg

[gkhouston]

185. honey, if they're really firsts, they shouldn't have any trouble

reaching the A. Cars have steering wheels, sopranos have high notes.

And isn't it a Mack truck you drive through the vibrato?

[Berry Cool]

160. Actually, I'm not musical at all

but I DO know what vibrato is!

Sheesh, give us some credit here. :-)

[Clark2008]

176. Oh, no offense intended

Just being snarky with the Rev. :)

[ralps]

77. I'm glad my kitties aren't interested in TV, Ashcroft singing might

totally freak them out. :hi: :loveya: :hug: :pals: :woohoo:

[spooky3]

83. mine's been vomiting all week--maybe he knew what was coming!

[Muffstser]

86. Oh, your poor cat! Hope it's not serious.

Muffin's getting more resilient as each year goes on. She's 11, but acts like she's eight weeks old.

[spooky3]

95. Thanks, he won't eat his food when served but eats any piece of

? that he finds on the floor, so I'm surprised he doesn't get sick more often. He's extremely active as always, so I am not too worried, but if he doesn't get better soon, I'll trot him off to the dreaded vet.

[Berry Cool]

162. Cats can't do what they're supposed to. It's cat law.

Food that is in one's bowl = food one is supposed to eat. Can't eat that. Food that's on the floor, on the other hand...

[ralps]

94. Poor kitty!!! I hope he'll get better soon

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

[spooky3]

98. thanks, I'll give him your get well wishes!

[Berry Cool]

164. I hope he feels better too.

Get-well wishes from Bella and Harley.

[bleever]

82. Hey Cheese, a cop whose last name is "Organ".

Maybe you should look him up.

:)

[RevCheesehead]

102. Officer Organ?

He sounds like a real dick. :spray:

[spooky3]

88. Big Head "walked into a propeller"--WPITW again!

[RevCheesehead]

89. The Loofah King!!!

I hope they never, ever, ever retire him! :bounce:

[Muffstser]

90. Love it...O'Reilly is Worst Person in the World!

It's his birthday...let him have at Ann Coulter and O'Reilly.

[ralps]

91. Today's worst person in the world- LOL Bill O'Reilly

2nd worst person Ann Coulter. :hi: :loveya: :hug: :pals: :woohoo:

[Berry Cool]

165. Love it--Bill and Ann,

the one-two punch! :rofl:

[CC]

92. A gift to the KOEB on

KO's b-day.



Hi all!!!
And off to read the thread.

[ralps]

97. Hi CC, Cool picture!!!!!!

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

[CC]

114. Thanks ralps.

Took a while to clean it up since there was writing across it.

[RevCheesehead]

108. It's SCRUFFY KEITH!!

:woohoo::loveya::bounce::bounce::loveya::woohoo:

Ferrettessa, you've outdone yourself! :hug:

[CC]

117. Well it does give us

a pretty good idea of what he looks like in the morning. :evilgrin:

[RevCheesehead]

135. True...

however, I'd rather discover that myself. :loveya:

[CC]

140. Well most of us would

even some of us married ones. BTW if I get KO the hub can have Jewel (the one he lust after.:rofl: But it does give a bit more reality to the fantasy. Though where is Berry when there is faint material?

[Berry Cool]

166. Oh myyyyyyy...

93. Where's Pats?

I predict: no Pats, no Friday night marijuana reference.

[RevCheesehead]

112. You don't suppose she e-mailed him, do ya?

Or maybe she went to NYC early, to take him out for dinner?

BTW - that white ford reference: wasn't someone driving Keith around in a white convertible in Gull Bay?

[tatia_s]

this Gull Bay and Bay Air stuff is going to have to be explained to me.

131. I'll have to find the threads from the first episodes for ya.

"Gull Bay" is our KOEB romance novel. Botany has a rather vivid imagination, so he's been writing fan fiction, staring the EDV's, the men who love them, the occasional BayAir (a bear from Gull Bay), some drop-in norwegian skiiers, and all the snark you can muster.

We keep forgetting we have added to our group. Sorry. :hi:

[ralps]

143. Thanks for letting me know Rev, & Botany is such a good writer

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

[CC]

144. Maybe we should gather all

the Gull Bay threads in one link post? Then we can bookmark it, add the new ones to it and have it ready for each new EDV. Be a great welcome to the clubhouse gift.

[ralps]

148. That would be a cool idea!!!!

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

[tatia_s]

145. Oh, that's ok...

I was just wondering what sort of elaborate in-joke you all were referring to. ;)

[RevCheesehead]

152. Here's a start... then you're on your own.

188. the Bay Air came from a Sparky anecdote, if memory serves

When he was a child, he used to say "bay air" instead of "bear". As for the Gull Bay, I think Botany started that series after Hope had a thread where people were supposed amusing/uplifting links and someone posted a link to for Longmire Romance novels. I think that was the name... let me see if I've got a bookmark... YES!

This is a website that has taken the cover art of actual romance novels and er, altered the titles. I think that may have been an inspiration for Gull Bay, but only Botany can say for sure.

173. Here way too late for the party

:hi:

[bleever]

180. What happened? You get waylaid by a mattress?

:hi:

[Berry Cool]

190. I'd rather be laid on a mattress

than waylaid by one. :evilgrin:

101. Oprah joins the Countdown Apology Hall of Fame

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

[Berry Cool]

167. And Keith gets to mail in the end of the show 'cause after all,

it's his birthday.

Happy Birthday, Suave Keith, Scruffy Keith and all the Keiths. Even if your main gift today from Dan's show was a big bonging bell sound to warn you when you are going off on one of your "side forays" of thought. Even if they joked that the crack MSNBC researchers told them you were 87 today and then they called you "Keith O'Reilly" and said you worked for Faux and played some weird warbling rendition of someone singing "Happy birthday, dear Christopher..."

We love ya. :loveya: Hope you're having a great day and will have a great year.

[Patsy Stone]

174. Happy Birthday, Keith!

Real life got in the way of joining you all on this auspicious occasion. Don'tcha hate when that happens?

For KO: :loveya:
For Mozart: :loveya: (just getting all the birthday business taken care of)




Pretty sure I'm going to fall asleep in a second, so I won't be around for the rerun either. See you all later!

[bunny planet]

181. Awww, I had to miss Keef's birthday show.

Happy Birthday KO.
