KOEB - Day after Valentine's Day edition

[SharonRB]

[RevCheesehead]

1. Hmmm... nice Tie, Keith.

Is it?

[seito]

2. Good question

:hi:

[Patsy Stone]

5. Hi, WP.

You know I want it to be. Not sure.

Maybe he'll give us a sign. :)

[Patsy Stone]

4. I was up so close to the TV

checking the pattern, I hit my nose on the screen. But I don't think so. Someone please tell me I'm wrong...

Hi, Rev! How are you feeling today? :hug:

[SharonRB]

7. It's definitely red, but I don't think it's ours

Hard to tell, though. If he ever wears the Jerry Garcia, we'll know it!

[RevCheesehead]

17. There's definately pink in his tie.

I thinking this is it.

However, I'm withholding my glee, since I didn't vote for it. :P

[SharonRB]

20. Me neither.

I still don't like it. And it's not distinctive enough.

[RevCheesehead]

8. Well, here's the extreme close-up (of our tie)

[ralps]

11. From your photo it looks like it might be the Red tie

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

[SharonRB]

12. Hubby thinks it could be it, but I'm not convinced

I wish I knew if I had seen this one before.

[Olney Blue]

56. I love this tie!

Good job.

[SharonRB]

60. It's not ours!

On edit: Did you mean the picture or KO's tie tonight?

[Olney Blue]

88. I meant the picture!

I thought that was the one you picked.

But I also like the tie that Keith wore, now that you mention it.

[SharonRB]

93. Yeah, the picture was one of the ones we sent him

I'm not crazy about it. I like the Garcia much better.

[seito]

10. I was doing the same thing

:rofl:

I need a bigger TV.

[SharonRB]

13. Me, too

The pattern is so small, it's really hard to tell.

[ralps]

6. Hi RevCheesehead, Would the ties have gotten to Keith yet?

it is a nice tie. :hi: :loveya: :hug: :pals: :woohoo:

[Patsy Stone]

33. Yep

Or at least I know they shipped.

Hi, ralps! :hi:

[WolverineDG]

18. I think it is

:bounce:

:woohoo:

dg

[SharonRB]

22. I still have my doubts

It looks almost orangey to me, but every TV is going to look different.

[WolverineDG]

28. I know

I looked up close a couple of times myself. I think it's the Boccarra tie because some of the lighter parts of it could read as pink on the screen.

And even if it isn't, that's my story & I'm stickin' to it!!!! :bounce:

dg

[ralps]

3. Hi SharonRB, Hi Everyone

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

[Berry Cool]

9. Hi. I was wondering if I saw Bocara 2!

It's hard to tell because he does have a red tie with a small pattern.

I won't be able to figure it until they show him close up again.

on edit: No, I don't think so. At a distance, the tie reads like it has a horizontal pattern. Bocara 2 reads at a distance as having a diagonal pattern. Oh well!

[RevCheesehead]

14. You know, we won't have this problem with the Garcia.

I'm just sayin.' :shrug:

[SharonRB]

16. Yeah, I already said that

I wish we had gotten two Garcias.

[Berry Cool]

19. One of the reasons I thought it was worth voting for.

The Garcia would be unmistakable.

[Patsy Stone]

21. I was sure this would happen

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=315&topic_id=35815&mesg_id=35928

[SharonRB]

23. You're so smart, Patsy

I totally agreed with you, though. And if this is it, your point has been proven.

[RevCheesehead]

26. You are wise beyond your years.

I bow to your greatness. O8)

[ralps]

15. Hi BerryBush, It might be????

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

[Berry Cool]

39. I believe it's this tie.

Sorry, girls :shrug:

[Patsy Stone]

45. That a possibility for sure

Hi, Berry! Thanks, also, for posting a picture. I was about to add this to the thread:



:loveya:

[SharonRB]

46. I think that's it, too.

[Berry Cool]

59. Hi, Patsela. Bizarre choice, though.

Half his lovely face is covered, and it reminds me sadly of 9/11.

[Patsy Stone]

64. I know

But I liked that he looked kinda melancholy.

[Berry Cool]

98. I know what you mean.

I like Melancholy Keith, too. Makes me want to hug him.

[gkhouston]

114. "kind of melancholy".

more like he's looking straight out of hell, wanting everything he's reporting to somehow be unreal. This picture haunts me and takes me back to that day in a way that footage of the Towers falling or the Pentagon being hit doesn't. Maybe it's because we've been oversaturated with those images, or maybe it's seeing the impact mirrored in human instead of inanimate terms.

[Berry Cool]

118. Well, I'm sorry if I didn't use the exact same words you used

but it makes me melancholy to look at it now...even if what it depicts is more like a moment out of hell.

There are a lot of things about that day that when I look back make me feel a range of things...from melancholy to horror to anger. I would guess I'm not alone in that.

I say that just because I do not want to leave people with the impression that this is just one of those pictures I moon over. On the contrary, to me it brings up a mixture of feelings.

[Botany]

24. Estrogen clean up ..... KOEB lounge STAT

[Patsy Stone]

31. So, Senor Guapo...

From your cool, detached, testosterone-filled eyesight, is it or isn't it?

:hi:

[Botany]

44. I will look

to be honest .... I wasn't paying any attention to it.

Miraré.... ahora.... No sé

adonde esta la chica muy bonita K. Garcia?

[Greylyn58]

25. Evening All

Hope everyone is doing well. Why is Keith talking to this whack-job with the WSJ? He is obviously a Bushco supporter.

Keith is looking good and really tried to get straight answers from Mr. WSJ reporter, but he continued to stand by Cheney's info.

Jeez!!!

[RevCheesehead]

34. Hi, Greylyn!

I don't think anyone is listening to the show - we're too busy examining the tie! :rofl:

Really - the only way to tell about the ballistics is to reinact the accident. I recommend we put Rove out there, and let Cheney have at him.

[SharonRB]

35. Could we put both Rove and * out there?

[RevCheesehead]

38. This test calls for multiple experiments.

I say, line up the whole damned cabinet. :evilgrin:

[SharonRB]

41. Perfect, Rev!

:nuke:

[Patsy Stone]

40. Now it is I

who bows before your greatness. :loveya:

[Patsy Stone]

27. I'm vetoing it

This appears to be too small of a pattern. Of course, not having any idea how large the pattern really is, I could be talking out of ass. :)

[SharonRB]

29. I think the lines going across his tie are too regular to be the

Bocara. I think it's a different tie.

[RevCheesehead]

30. Keith - you need to do us a favor....

wear the OTHER TIE tomorrow! :rofl:

[SharonRB]

32. Yeah, don't wait until Friday, when a bunch of us probably won't be able

to see it.

[RevCheesehead]

36. Hey Keith -

I saw the DaVinci trailer last Friday.
I've also read the book.

I'll wait for it to come out on HBO.

[SharonRB]

37. My daughter said she saw it on line already

We were trying to recast Hanks' part the other day -- neither of us thinks he's right for the role.

[Berry Cool]

47. The staff is messing up the graphics again.

They put the "Cruise Control" title up with the scenes from The DaVinci Code.

Wrong Tom, you guys!!!!

[Patsy Stone]

48. Eh, can you blame them?

The law of averages is in their favor. :D

[CBHagman]

104. What did you decide?

I still haven't read the book (yes, even after 15 years of working in a bookstore :blush:), so I don't have a clue who would be right for the part.

On edit: Apropos of The Da Vinci Code, am I the only one here who's actually met members of Opus Dei? Or does the Rev have a few stories?

Hi, Sharon! :hi:

[SharonRB]

116. Hey, CB

Just saw this -- sorry for the delayed response.

We came up with many, many options. I sort of liked Clooney, but he may be a tad too old -- maybe not, though. I can't even remember now who else we came up with. We just tossed around a lot of names.

You really need to read it -- it's great. Quite a page-turner. Very hard to put down.

[CBHagman]

117. Clooney!

Actually, I'm fairly certain George Clooney is younger than Tom Hanks. Maybe the grey hair throws people off, though.

At any rate, I'm sure Clooney would have no trouble playing an academic in a thriller. Besides, EDVs would be flocking to the theaters!

[SharonRB]

120. I'd certainly be there in a flash

Not that I'm not going to see it even with Hanks, but I just don't think he's right. It needs someone hunkier. One of our other choices was Johnny Depp -- he can play anything from a pirate to a writer, so he'd make a great adventurous professor-type.

[RevCheesehead]

121. While I was reading the book, I kept envisioning John Cusack.

I have no idea why, but that's who I saw.

I most definately did NOT see Tom Hanks.

[ralps]

42. Yay!! John Dean is coming up, & another story Keith's producers are

forcing him to do- The Tom Hanks Movie "The DaVinci Code" I've never read that book & I'm not interested in seeing the movie. :hi: :loveya: :hug: :pals: :woohoo:

[SharonRB]

43. Oh, you should read it, Ralps

It was fabuloso and the movie looks like it will be great.

[ralps]

49. Good Night you all, Have a great day tomorrow, I'll see all you KOEB"s

tomorrow night if not sooner. :hi: :loveya: :hug: :pals: :woohoo:

[SharonRB]

50. 'Nite, ralps

[Berry Cool]

54. 'Nite! Time for John Dean again!

Keith's favorite guest!

[Patsy Stone]

51. Night, ralps!

See you later.

[Olney Blue]

52. Hi Sharon and everyone!

:hi:

[SharonRB]

53. Hi, Olney

:hi:

[bleever]

55. John Dean:

:loveya:

Hi, EDVs and the Botanists who ply them with romance languages.

[SharonRB]

57. Good point, John

How could she be a witness if she didn't see the shooting?

[bleever]

63. She said her first thought was that Cheney had had a heart attack.

WTF? Eyewitness? I think not.

:hi:

[Patsy Stone]

67. She also said

none of the hunters were drinking. Hmmm. "Just a glass of wine with dinner, occifer (hic)."

:hi:

[bleever]

71. "I only had tee martoonis".

:rofl:

[bettyellen]

74. didn't she say he only looked "a little bruised" but fine.....

and talking?
and cheney said, bleeding, one eye open and silent?
:shrug:

[Patsy Stone]

91. You know how different people

can perceive the same situation differently? :eyes:

Hi, be! :hug:

[Botany]

77. Steph read that ? today, I sent it to her ....

Nothing about this story passes the smell test.

the veep having a heart attack and Mr. W getting shot would look
different

but Mrs Dean lives by D.C. ..... Steph broadcasts in D.C. .....
so she heard Steph read that ? ........ and John Dean says it on KO's
show tonight .......

I can live in my own little world ..... :rofl:

[SharonRB]

78. Steph broadcasts from California, doesn't she?

[Botany]

86. yes she is in LA

but a station in D.C. has her show.

[WolverineDG]

99. I've called BS from day one of this

I didn't hear the part about a hill being involved, but here in South Texas, ain't no such thing. There are "rises" that occur naturally, but they're not high enough to be considered "hills" by any mean stretch, especially on "ranch" land. Since they were supposedly driving around, I presume that whoever said "hill" meant that Mr. Whittington went to go fetch his prey in the drainage ditch dug beside the road (remember, they were driving around looking for quail, right?) and was coming back out of it, BEHIND CHENEY when he got shot in the face.

And now Cheney takes responsibility? I guess the standard "blame the victim" routine wasn't polling very well.

dg

[Botany]

102. The whole story does not pass the smell test ....

,,,,, and now Mr. W has shot in his lung, liver, and heart? From 90 feet through clothing
shirt, jacket, vest, skin, chest wall, and muscle ......

I love how "they" are saying he is in ICU for privacy ...... 24/7 observation is privacy?

So in Texas can I shot somebody in the face and tell the cops I will talk to them in the
morning because although I am not a doctor I want to make sure the victim gets
good care @ a hospital I am not even @?

[WolverineDG]

106. You don't stick someone in ICU for privacy

Now that's just another BS story. It would be very easy to put Mr. Whittington in a private room & have an officer (deputy, police, hospital security) stand outside to keep looky-loos away. If the WH is THAT involved in his treatment, I'm sure they'd pony up one of the SS agents in CC to babysit him.

ICU is NOT a comfortable place to be. You do NOT have your own room with your own door & bathroom. You're in a partitioned area surrounding a nurse's station (so they can get to you quickly if you code). It's noisy, what with all the monitors beeping & patients coding & medical staff running back & forth. I doubt seriously he's getting any work done, as is being claimed. He can't use a cell phone in the hospital, for starters. Since he had a "minor" heart attack, I'm stunned they don't have him in Cardiac ICU, which is even more restrictive & less private than ICU.\

Remember also at the beginning, one of the administrators at the hospital was saying Mr. Whittington was talking & acting like he was visiting the admin in his living room? Yah. As if.

dg

[Botany]

109. Hell of a lawyer

birdshot in his liver, lung, and heart ..... in the ICU ....... just had a heart attack
and he is sitting up doing some legal work?

"Honey, bring the file for Smith v Interstate Trucking inc., my legal pads, highlighter,
and the law books for commerce in Oklahoma. I hope to go to trial next week. No
more delays or motions."

[Patsy Stone]

112. I concur

My mother was a nurse and worked for many years on the private, fancy schmancy floor in the hospital. These rooms were almost suites and this is where you stay for privacy and comfort. No one ever stays in ICU for privacy. BS.

[RevCheesehead]

113. People are admitted to ICU if they need constant monitoring.

Some hospitals are now calling it the "Constant Care Unit". And most (but not all) patients are hooked up to monitors.

Considering this guy has birdshot throughout his upper torso, they are probably damned worried about blood clots (especially in the lungs). I think this guy is in ICU because he could code at any time. In fact, I suspect that he already has.

[gkhouston]

115. yeah, I caught that "hill" BS too

but you know what? I'm not sure Cheney was drunk. This could be just another case of him thinking that rules are for other people. Who needs to follow the safety guidelines and common sense that most hunters use to avoid shooting up their friends or good friends or acquaintances?

[Patsy Stone]

58. Yes, Keith

I believe they tries to cover the whole thing up. Why wouldn't they? What haven't they tried to cover up? As someone said today, they would probably heavily-classify a good recipe for tuna salad.

[bleever]

68. Secret ingredient:

This image contains an illegal code.



Sshhh...

[SharonRB]

69. This image contains an illegal code?

That's the secret ingredient?

[bleever]

75. Damn you, NSA!

That wasn't even classified!


:rofl:

[Patsy Stone]

84. I think we just found the next Greatest GD thread:

Breaking News: THEY DO CLASSIFY TUNA SALAD RECIPIES!

:rofl:

[bleever]

85. LOFL! I forgot I had seen that!

Now: heading to an undisclosed location.


:scared:

[Patsy Stone]

83. That happened last night too!

Agent Mike! You... To da moon, Alice!

[bettyellen]

61. hey, that's the tie, isn't it?

it has that grey/ blue sheen to it!
:bounce:
i bet he'll drop by for a beer w/ us too!
we invited him, right?

[SharonRB]

65. We don't think it's the tie after all

I did invite him, but I never heard back from him or from Randi. Maybe they'll surprise us (yeah, right, sure they will).

[bettyellen]

70. the tie looks like it to me....

are we going to have to get a hi def screen shot somehow?

[SharonRB]

73. I think so

Berry posted a photo upthread that I think is the one he's wearing tonight.

[Patsy Stone]

62. I guess since Darth didn't apologize

he won't get in the Apology Hall of Fame, huh? :(

[SharonRB]

66. Guess not.

[Patsy Stone]

76. Hey, Sharon.

Have you seen the weather forecast for the weekend? Temps are dropping low.

[SharonRB]

79. Yeah, it's supposed to be in the 40s Friday and in the 30s

Saturday and Sunday. There was only a 20-30 chance of precip at any time (at least the last time I checked a couple of days ago).

Hey, it's better than over two feet of snow.

on edit: I just checked again. It's now supposed to be 51 on Friday with rain, in the 30s on Saturday and 29 on Sunday, but partly cloudy. I'm bringing my warm coat, just in case. I may be too warm on Friday, but it's getting cold at night. Saturday night it's supposed to be 19.

[RevCheesehead]

72. So, it's not a "gun to the head" thing -

it's more of a vigorous arm-twisting! :rofl:

[bleever]

80. That was clearly a shout-out to crispi: Cuff Me!

:rofl:

[Berry Cool]

95. Oh my Lord. I was ready to propose to Keith on the spot tonight

after seeing him call Countdown "The Big Show" and then twist his own arm behind his back.

(Of course I'm ready to do that any night, but don't bug me with details.)

THIS is why I never miss the bumper teases. You just never know when Keith's going to do something wacky, or just mispronounce something so badly that he has to start over in English.

[spooky3]

81. Is there any way we could convince K's producer that Tom C. makes

us sick?

And I've never understood why people think he's handsome.

[spooky3]

82. WPITW: Ann C will call for "prison reform" hahahahaha!!!!

[bleever]

87. Poochie! We hardly knew ye.

[Berry Cool]

96. Well, Grey, I hope Sheridan was watching HoF tonight

with Keith adding a doggie wing.

It's nice to see him actually add a NEW wing for a change! :rofl:

Thanks, Keith! :applause:

[Patsy Stone]

89. Faster than you can say, "Torino",

Is how fast I turned that channel!

[SharonRB]

97. I turned it off really quickly.

But now I think I'll go watch my tape of "Boston Legal" from last night. I was so tired I knew I'd never make it. I almost fell asleep when I went up to finish watching KO. That Tylenol PM really knocked me out. I was fine today, but I have way too much work to get done before tomorrow night. I stayed late tonight and probably will again tomorrow. I have a summary plan description that's over 100 pages to get into layout before I leave for NY. I got it to start on later than I was supposed to today, so I only got about 35 pages done and I'm doing it in InDesign, which I just got this week and am still learning. It's so different from PageMaker.

[Patsy Stone]

101. Enjoy

and do what you gotta do to get there. We're all couting on ya!

[Greylyn58]

90. Hey...Sheridan was debating Shrub

and beat the pants off of him!!!

Good boy Sheridan!!!

[bleever]

92. Not a fair match up.

Good boy, Sheridan! Here you go:

[Botany]

94. Allow me

[Berry Cool]

100. I THOUGHT that was Sheridan!

I even said to the TV "Hey, that's Sheridan!"

Actually, when you think about it, could Sheridan have done any worse as president? No way. He'd have been loyal and true and not tried to cover anything up. Except maybe a bone.

[crispini]

103. Sooooo.... was it, or was it not the Bocara?

And does this mean I have to stay up to watch the rerun now? Dang, I have to get up for the 6 am yoga class tomorrow. I don't know if I can stay awake! :D

[Patsy Stone]

105. I think it's the one in Berry's post.

I think the lighter areas are larger on the Bocara and will play more like a checkerboard. Who knows. :)

Can't wait to hear your opinion. :hi: Two days!

[crispini]

107. I think it's the Bocara, ladies!!!!

I really do. I think it does have a diagonal kind of look to it, especially in the closeups, when you can see more of the tie.

In either case, many floaties for KO, who is very, very good to his fans. :loveya::loveya::loveya::loveya:

[crispini]

108. And hey, isn't this a new suit?

I don't recall seeing a nice chocolate brown with this wide of a stripe before.

[crispini]

110. "Based on what we know" - feh,

they waited 18 hours to let him talk to the officials, John Harwood, I bet he was drunk off his ass.

And ARMSTRONG WAS NOT A WITNESS, SHE WAS IN THE FECKING CAR!!!

[crispini]

111. "I'm the guy who pulled the trigger...."

TOTALLY makes this song go through my head:

I'm the man who murdered love
Yeah, what do you think to that?
I'm the man who murdered love
Yeah, what do you think to that?

He was begging on his bended knee
For me to put him from his misery
He hadn't worked at all this century
Said I'd do a job for all humanity

I'm the man who murdered love
Yeah, what do you think to that?
I'm the man who murdered love
Yeah, what do you think to that?

I put a bullet in his sugar head
He thanked me kindly
then he layed down dead
Phoney roses blossomed where he bled
Then all the cheering angels shook my
hand and said

I'm the man who murdered love
Yeah, what do you think to that?
I'm the man who murdered love
Yeah, what do you think to that?

Oh it's the middle of the song
I'm guilty, I'm guilty, I'm guilty
And then I turned and said

There'll be no more pain
from broken hearts
And no more lovers to be torn apart
Before you throw me
in your dungeon dark
Your honour, they'll be putting statues up
In every park

I'm the man who murdered love
Yeah, what do you think to that?
I'm the man who murdered love
Yeah, what do you think to that?

So dear public I'm here to confess
That I'm the one who freed us from this mess
Love won't be calling at your adress
'Cause what you never had you never miss,
I guess

I'm the man who murdered love
Yeah, what do you think to that?
I'm the man who murdered love
Yeah, what do you think to that?

If you never, ever use it
You know you're gonna lose it
If you never, ever kiss it
How you ever gonna miss it?

[Berry Cool]

119. OH MY LORD crispi!! You're quoting XTC!!!!

Forget Keith...I'll ask YOU to marry me.

Well, actually, no. Too many complications. You know, like having to go to Massachusetts. And I'm not really into handcuffs. Oh well. :shrug:
