KOEB Meeting -- 2/7/06

[Patsy Stone]

[Patsy Stone]

1. I LOVE BILL!!!

I do. I really do.

:loveya:

And... the story about KKKarl's arm twisting? KO: :loveya:

[bleever]

2. He's a Leo, you know.

:hi:

[Patsy Stone]

3. And, I hear he's left-handed.

:hi: Is it just us?

[bleever]

4. No, a lot of people have heard that he's left-handed.

:)

[Patsy Stone]

5. Thank you! Good night!

:rofl:

[Berry Cool]

52. I LOVE KEITH!!!

:loveya: He even wore my favorite suit combo tonight. I missed it.

GREAT show.

[bleever]

6. Wow, Michael Bolton sang at Mrs. King's funeral.

I was thinking about his hair just today.

[Patsy Stone]

8. Okay...

Why? Old hair, or new hair?

[bleever]

9. Old hair. Don't ask why. And lookee what I just found:

[Patsy Stone]

12. Sweetie!

Singing: "One of these things just doesn't belong here. One of these things just isn't the same."

LOL! What's the connection?

[bleever]

15. The caption says: Disastrous hair. Text as follows:

It's official — or at least one British survey says so, ranking the Mohawk as the worst hair disaster of all time.

The mullet, worn by the likes of David Bowie and Michael Bolton, came second.

The beehive hairdo of the 1960s, as worn by actress Joanna Lumley as Patsy in Absolutely Fabulous, was voted third.

Also in the top 10 terrible dos were the helmet head, the perm, and the ironed look. The telephone poll of 1022 adults was conducted by Braun.

The worst hair disasters of all time include:

- The Mohawk — a favourite of safety-pin-pierced punks and international football stars, including David Beckham.

- The mullet — the 1980s look favoured by Michael Bolton, which adds a nasty twist to a short back and sides.

- The beehive — the 1960s look that defies gravity and kept the hairspray industry in business and made a comeback on catwalks in the 1990s.

- Helmet head — victims appear to have had their hair cut around a bowl.

- New Romantic — long on one side, short on the other.

- Back-combed bouffant — sculpted, sprayed and teased into a helmet of big curls, waves, and bouffant. Popular in the 1960s and '80s.

- Perm — loved by all in the '80s.

- The ironed look — poker-straight hair was once achieved using the classic household appliance, the iron.

- Crimped — a favourite among rockers in the '80s.

- The page boy — Marcus in About a Boy, straight across the front and trimmed to the nape of your neck.

[Patsy Stone]

17. Hey!

I resemble that remark! LOL!

"Perm — loved by all in the '80s."??? No, not by everyone.

[WolverineDG]

56. Certainly not by me

the last one i got, 20 years ago, had me looking like roseanne roseanna danna FOR SIX MONTHS (even though i violated perm rule #1 by going straight home & washing my hair).

dg

[Patsy Stone]

59. Had Legally Blonde been out then,

I'm sure you'd have known. :(

[WolverineDG]

61. Oh I already knew that rule

My mom was a serial home-permer. I intentionally violated that rule, but the damn perm held!

dg

[Berry Cool]

53. When Keith said Michael Bolton sang I thought

"hasn't the poor woman suffered enough?"

[Patsy Stone]

7. I wish the choir had been a little bit larger.

Don't you? If only they could have found another 500 people. (sigh)

[bleever]

11. There must be another thread. Or else this is a record

for low attendance.

[gkhouston]

78. hee. Then they could have done Mahler's 2nd,

(the "Resurrection" Symphony) and Coretta would have come back to life at the end and told Jr. what a sorry sack of shit he is.

[RevCheesehead]

83. oooooohhh!

Musical snob snark!! :applause:

[Patsy Stone]

84. Perfection!

Do you think we could stage this? :rofl:

[WolverineDG]

10. OMG

Poor lil shrubbie, sitting front & center, having to listen to speaker after speaker taking pot-shots at him (& he deserved each one), and then seeing first-hand that Bill Clinton is still more popular than he could ever dream of being!

I think the remarks were appropriate, considering Coretta Scott King was a civil rights leader, and if the family was okay with them, who is to judge otherwise?

dg

[Patsy Stone]

13. Not I.

It was fine, and Bill rules. Hey, DG!

Look, it's KKKarl's "enemies list".

[WolverineDG]

60. hiya pats!

:hi:

i bet poor kkkarl was busy adding more names to his list...most if not all of the speakers at the funeral today....oh and kkkarl, before you make the threat of "withholding support from the white house," make sure it's something people WANT, cuz shrubbie's poll numbers ain't lookin' so hot, if ya know what i mean. :rofl:

dg

[Patsy Stone]

63. Exactly what I thought when I heard that

Not so much of a threat. It should be the opposite: If you don't vote that it's all kosher, we'll send Shrub with you everywhere. :rofl:

[Clark2008]

18. Hubby and I were guessing what he was reading...

A magazine...
"Boy's Life"
"The Pet Goat, Part II"

He certainly was flippin' through the funeral itinerary as though it were The National Enquirer in the check-out lane.

[bleever]

20. Probably looking for when the snack break was.

Doofus in chief.

[Clark2008]

29. That or when Communion was

Have to get in a shot between the start and finish of that program.

:)

[bleever]

31. LOL.

A little Jesus juice to get him through all them speeches.

[gkhouston]

79. yeah, imagine his disappointment when it turned out to be

grape juice instead of wine. :rofl:

[WolverineDG]

54. Could he have been any more

rude by flipping through that thing the way he did? He probably was pissed that it wasn't a picture book.

dg

[gkhouston]

80. it made me think of Vera Carp from the play "Greater Tuna"

"Vergil? Vergil. Be reverent."

[Clark2008]

14. Once again, a big "smackaroo" to our Botany:

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=364x345715

:loveya:

And, :hi: all. I was eating (oh, and making a drink. Got to get my priorities straight).

[bleever]

19. What, I was the only one to recommend that thread?

Great work!

:applause:

[Clark2008]

21. Oh, it sunk. LOL.

I was pretty impressed, but with FISA, Muslims burning and general religious weirding out over on GD, it didn't merit much of a peep.

Thanks for teh K & R, Bleev!

[Patsy Stone]

23. I did.

I hadn't seen it earlier. Such a good thing, Clark! :loveya: and :hi:

[Patsy Stone]

16. Oh, why did the FISA story have to be Norah's?

That blows.

[Clark2008]

22. "Norah, Norah, Norah, the Bush Whorah..."

Sung to the tune of the kids' show, "Dora The Explorer."

You have to have a little kidlet around somewhere to know the tune. We do and sing it every time the Whorah comes on.

:rofl:

[gkhouston]

81. oh, THANKS. My kidlet still watches Dora occasionally.

Now I'm going to be thinking that the next time she watches Dora. "Swiper, no swiping" indeed. :rofl:

[bleever]

24. I want to see Norah dressed as a "Springtime for Hitler" chorus girl.

:rofl:

[Patsy Stone]

25. Soon my friend. Soon. LOL!

"Don't be stupid, be a smarty, come and join the Nazi party!"

[Clark2008]

28. Well, she'd be pretty.

No brains. No thought in her head and no challenge, but pretty, none the same.

:hi:

[bleever]

32. "Hush darling, don't speak. No really: please don't speak."

Where's Bot with that cheesecake pic when you need him?

[Berry Cool]

58. My favorite snark of the night:

Keith talking about how Michael Jackson was originally unable to respond to the request for him to participate in the Pope JP II poem recording project because of the little trouble about his child molestation trial...after which, KO said, "he was moved to another parish."

*Oooooh.*

Of course, the stories about the funeral and Rove were also laced with some delightful snark as well. I love how he can place that barb so carefully that the victim can never see the hook coming.

[bleever]

26. I have spent time Lucknow, India.

I can tell you where to get a good lunch, or excellent cotton clothing.

[Patsy Stone]

27. Do you by any chance

know of a good tailor too?

[bleever]

30. Not in Lucknow. But I have a friend who settled there,

and I'm sure she could hook you up.

[Patsy Stone]

33. Absolutely Fabulous!

You know I want that to be Diana Rigg so badly. :)

[spooky3]

34. hi, Keith luvvers!

[Patsy Stone]

38. Hey, spooky.

C'mon in an' set a spell.

[spooky3]

41. thanks, are you ready for some Musto?

[Patsy Stone]

42. I am!

What was Britney thinking? Oh, right! She wasn't. :crazy:

[spooky3]

46. he's on a roll!

[Patsy Stone]

47. "Then again, I thought she'd be nominated for Crossroads!"

:rofl:

[spooky3]

48. he's so quick--I love him.

[Berry Cool]

62. Comment inspired by the "Valet Girls" segment...

Yet another thing I really like about KO: because he's been forced to go carless, unlike so many men, he doesn't have his ego bound up in a pile of metal; hence, he is free to laugh and snark on men who do.

You know how it is for so many guys. The car functions as a visible extension of something else that's near and dear to their hearts but which is normally not on public display.

Which, of course, only makes Keith's joke a couple of weeks ago about thinking of a Ford Taurus as his "sweet new ride" all the funnier.

[WolverineDG]

65. careful, pats

my cousin is in that flick (from what i understand).

dg

[Patsy Stone]

67. Oooh.

Do tell!

[WolverineDG]

73. apparently it was a walk-on role

he went out to LA several years ago to break into show business. the kid had talent coming out his ears, plus he was a real looker. unfortunately, he was also diabetic & died because he couldn't afford to buy all the stuff insulin-dependent diabetics need. if we had socialized medicine, he'd still be alive. :cry:

dg

[Patsy Stone]

75. Oh, how sad.

I'm very sorry. I agree. The state of health care is appalling. :hug:

[gkhouston]

82. okay, she's either lying or stupid or both

I'm betting the kid wasn't even in his car seat when they arrived at the store. At this age, he should be in a rear-facing car seat in the back seat of the car. It would be very difficult for someone in the front seat of the car to reach over and take a baby out of a rear-facing seat. So, if she's going to go to the trouble of getting out of the car and climbing into the back seat to remove the kid, why not just sit down next to the kid in the back seat and keep him entertained without unbuckling him?

[Patsy Stone]

35. VIDEO -- KO King Funeral

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=364&topic_id=353131&mesg_id=353131

Thanks, liveoaktx!

[bleever]

36. Whoa, I just had an "I Can't Believe it snot Butter" commercial with Fabio

doing a Cameo.

:rofl:

[Patsy Stone]

37. He's the "spokesmodel".

He's been doing it for years. They're kinda cute. I guess they know their audience, huh?

[ralps]

39. Hi Patsy, Hi Everyone

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

[Patsy Stone]

43. Evenin', ralps.

:hi:

[ralps]

40. Mike Holgrem 3rd worst person in the world!!!?????

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

[Patsy Stone]

44. I missed it

Was it what he said about having to play the "guys in the black and white stripes too"? I think Seattle got hosed a little.

[ralps]

45. Yes that was it

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

[Berry Cool]

64. Keith agrees, but thinks it's not worth getting all worked up about

and that Seattle would've lost anyway.

[Patsy Stone]

70. All true

But I still don't thing the Roethlisberger TD was good.

[bleever]

49. I believe Keef has a new sign-off.

Is today the second or third day he's numbered the days since "Mission Accomplished"?

:thumbsup:

[Patsy Stone]

50. Second

The 1,013th day...

:loveya:, KO

[Berry Cool]

66. You gotta love it.

I miss his "Keep your knees loose," but if the substitute is that he's decided to hold the administration's feet to the fire for every day the mission continues to go unaccomplished, more power to him! :loveya:

[WolverineDG]

68. OOO! He did it again!

:loveya: ko for the new sign off!!

dg

[Patsy Stone]

51. LOL! Another Reeter fan in GD.

BREAKING RITA COSBY MSNBC: PUPPIES! Threat to National Security!
http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=364&topic_id=353442&mesg_id=353442

[bleever]

55. LOL. I saw that.

And somehow, you know she's gonna find the sex angle on this story too.

[Patsy Stone]

57. Yep. She's like that. :)

This was Best in Show for today, IMHO. Some of the responses are DUDQ funny.

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=364x349888#352854

[Berry Cool]

76. OMG. That was one of the Best. Threads. Ever.

Had me :rofl:

Of course, I've long been tempted to post the Generic DU News Media Thread, which consists of something like:

"*News Media Person* just tore Bush a new one over his blunder today!"
"He DID?? I LOVE *News Media Person*!!!! I want to bear his children!"
"Too bad for *News Media Person.* This means he is sure to be fired. His network doesn't allow anyone to deviate from the pro-Bush party line."
"Oh no, wait--*News Media Person* just said something about the *Democrats* being disorganized and not taking advantage of Bush's blunder!"
"He DID??? Well, that's the last time I EVER watch *News Media Person!*! That sellout MSM whore!"
"Good. *News Media Person* is just in the back pocket of the Military Industrial Complex corporation that runs his network anyway. Obviously he just parrots whatever they want him to to support the * agenda."
"So right, my friend. I know that for a fact. I threw out my TV 20 years ago. I know better than to trust any of those liars. Of course, I have never even seen *News Media Person* or heard anything he has ever said, but I know he's a liar because he's on TV and I threw out my TV 20 years ago."

[Patsy Stone]

77. So true!

In fact, why don't you post this over there? :rofl:

p.s. "The Doobydoos do NOT SPEAK FOR ME!!11!1!"

[Berry Cool]

69. Rita Skeeter's finally found her blessing from heaven.

She's always wanted to find a way to get cute puppies and kitties on her show. Now she's halfway there.

Next week, babies.

[WolverineDG]

71. Is she calling for an investigation

into the producers of the Puppy Bowl II? (obvious ties to drug lords, fooling us into thinking puppies are cute, funny, & innocent when in fact they are EVIL!!) ;)

dg

[Patsy Stone]

72. Excellent point!

Did you e-mail her? LOL!

[WolverineDG]

74. oh hell no!

i don't email ko, why should i email HER?

dg
