Friday night ASTB thread 7/15

[RevCheesehead]

Woo. Hoo.
I could use a drink.

[Botany]

1. Drink up Rev .....

.... and keep me informed ..... 10 year old son has T.V. disney movie
:puke:

also what do you know about the ferries that cross Lake Michigan?

Is their camping (public parks) in Door County?

BTW I almost never was going to post on the KOEB again .....
Crispini is sooooooo sexist

:rofl:

[RevCheesehead]

2. What did Crispi do to you now?

Did she break out the little wheel again? :)

[Botany]

4. Worse!

I need therapy ......
Seeing Karl Frog marched would help ......

Serious I will be in Wisconsin next week what do you know about the
ferry boats x lake Mich?

[RevCheesehead]

8. If you're talking about the main ferry -

it goes from Ludington, MI to Manitowoc, WI. It's about a 4 hour trip, and is very popular... you'll need reservations, especially during the tourist season.

Manitowoc is about 30 miles south of here (:bounce:), and Sturgeon Bay is about 20 miles north of here. The main camping spot is Peninsula State Park, on the bay side of the county.

Perhaps some of our lurkers have more info on the ferry, or the park and camping rates. Otherwise, google "Door County" and you should get a ton of information.

If you're headed this way, we simply must meet!

[SharonRB]

3. Hi, Rev and Bot

The rest of the summer should be very entertaining -- I just hope this isn't a distraction for anything more important that may happen.

[RevCheesehead]

10. Hi, Sharon.

Botany's headed this way, via Michigan. Do you think he could pick you up and bring you along? :)

[SharonRB]

58. Sorry, Rev, no can do!

I know you were just kidding, but I'm too busy at work to take any time off.

[SharonRB]

5. Rehnquist hates Shrub

I think he'll hang out as long as he can to prevent him from naming his successor.

[Botany]

6. It will be tough .....

.... he is 80 has cancer and some other disease.

I wonder if he now regrets the florida 2000 vote he cast?

[SharonRB]

7. He may -- I know O'Connor does

That was one time she definitely swung the wrong way.

[Botany]

15. but she wrote the decision ...... bush v Gore

.... and in it she wrote that it was not applicable to any past or future
cases ...... she knew it was wrong .......

[Catchawave]

9. Hiya's..........here's a fun picture...

Haven't seen it before, I think :silly:



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

[RevCheesehead]

11. A talking head!

Thanks, Catch! :hi:

[Patsy Stone]

12. Loooooved the "air guitar" footage

Loved the too short denim shorts. Loved the Freddie Mercury wannabe too. Loved every minute of it!

Not more than the Rove story; that's the best. I can't wait for Monday when KO can sink his teeth into it.

For KO, in advance: :loveya::loveya:

[RevCheesehead]

13. I know. *sigh*

Alison's voice is so - - unlistenable. Something in the inflection, in the stress on the wrong words in the sentences, ... it's just so unnatural. :(

Keith, come back! :loveya:

[Patsy Stone]

16. Soon, darling.

I think I'll have to go stand on line tomorrow and see if I can get a copy of Harry Potter. I know, I'm a geek. :)

[RevCheesehead]

17. No, the word is "Dork."

At least, according to the caption-folks. :eyes:

I'm still reading book #4 (Goblet of Fire). I have this annoying tendency to wait for a paperback (read: cheaper) version, and my cheapness is far stronger than my need to be "in the know."

I do try to read the books before I see the movies. Sometimes, I have to wait for the premium movie channels, but that, too, is preferable to a theatre full of screaming, snively children.

I also prefer matinees, when school is in session, for the same reasons, including the cheaper ticket.

[gkhouston]

27. ooh, I envy you

Goblet of Fire was my favorite. Actually, I hadn't read any of them until GoF first came out in paperback, then I read them all at once. I was quite excited when #5 came out. For me, it was a bit of a let-down after #4 but that may have been because they hyped it so much. I haven't really spent any time anticipating this one and don't really have any time to read it right now.

For those of you who do read it right away: if you want to talk about it in the clubhouse, could you please set up a SPOILER thread or some such, so the rest of us can (snort) maintain our virginity until we get around to reading #6?

[RevCheesehead]

29. *snort* maintain our virginity?

With our group? :spray:

I know. All these spoilers: "Who is the half-blood prince?" and I'm like, WTF, there's a half-blood prince? Is half-blood a reference to part muggle? And isn't that, well, an -ism? Mugglism?

[gkhouston]

31. well, it's the only kind we've got left

so we'd better protect it. ;-) Me, I just hate knowing the ending to a book before I get there, unlike a friend of mine who would deliberately read the end of a book before she read the rest of the book, then decide if she wanted to read the book. Used to drive me batshit. If any new books came out that we were both interested in, I had to be sure to read the damned thing first, because she could not refrain from telling me "just one thing" about the book. :grr:

[RevCheesehead]

33. I hate that passive-aggressive shit.

People who insist on spoiling life for others.

I'll never, never, ever forgive Kurk Anderson for ruining "The Empire Strikes Back" for me and about a dozen other kids in high school. He said, "I think the whole thing's bullshit. Who would ever believe that Darth Vader is Luke Skywalker's father?" This was about one week after the movie was released. :grr:

I was kinda sweet on him, but he lost a LOT of respect from me that day.

[gkhouston]

35. heh. So you remember his name, but not in the good way.

Yes, I don't go for that shit, either. And you know that wasn't accidental.

[RevCheesehead]

36. There definately was a reason..

that people called him "Kurk the jerk."

You know, love is blind, and I couldn't see it before he pulled that shit.

[gkhouston]

38. Lust is blinder.

:evilgrin:

[gkhouston]

41. and speaking of blind lust

do you suppose that Sparky's working his way through a honeymoon? :7 If so, don't :cry:, that's just one more disposable to scratch off the list on his way to the keeper.

[RevCheesehead]

42. heh - for some reason I read "disposable"

as "suppository." I have NO idea why! :rofl:

BTW - check out my latest thread in the clubhouse on Botany. He's been bad. REALLY bad.

[gkhouston]

43. I just read it

as for suppository, here's my first use of this smiley: :spray:

I'm not quite sure why you read "suppository" for "disposable"; surely there's someone in Wisconsin who's a bigger pain in the rear than the disposables...

(running away now)

[RevCheesehead]

44. Well, someone told me a story about a suppository today.

Must be Freudian. After all, you did mention Sparky. :loveya:

[gkhouston]

45. Sparky is Freudian? Sparky is a suppository?

Sparky is a cigar? You know, the questions aren't getting any better here, are they?

[RevCheesehead]

46. Perhaps not - sometimes a suppository is just a suppository.

But I was at least hoping that if he was lurking, this would be enough for him to surface.

[gkhouston]

48. oh, 'cause there's nothing that perks up a guy's interest

like suppositories. :rofl:

[SharonRB]

60. Now that you mention it, where has he been?

I haven't seen him in ages.

[gkhouston]

61. probably working, but away from the computer

wish I was. :hangover:

It's more fun to imagine him on a lust bender, though, now isn't it? :evilgrin:

[WolverineDG]

47. WHAT?? DARTH VADER IS LUKE'S FATHER???

:wow:


NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

I mean, just EW!! That means he KISSED HIS SISTER!!! EEEEEWWWWWWW!!!


dg

;)

[SharonRB]

59. I read the first four all in a row when #4 came out

I had a friend who had read them and he told me they were great. I finally broke down when #4 came out and read 1, 2, 3 and 4 all in a row. Then, of course, I read 5 two summers ago. Now I'm looking forward to reading this one for the rest of the summer -- I have so little time to read, it will take me that long to finish it.

Promise not to talk about it without a spoiler warning!

[WolverineDG]

24. Me too Patsy

although there's only 2 places here that are selling it at midnight: walmart :barf: and a grocery store across town. I'm toying with doing my grocery shopping early to kill 2 birds with one stone...we'll see if I'm still conscious by midnight.

and no, you're not a geek....or a dork...wonder if KO will be standing in line to get his own copy....it's got sports in it, after all.......

dg

[Patsy Stone]

51. I think I've finally gotten the hang of Quidditch. :) n/t

[SharonRB]

57. As soon as I finish checking out the Internets this morning,

I'm off to pick up my reserved copy at Barnes & Noble. Then off to Sephora to pick up my Jonathan Products Dirt -- they were out of it last week and are holding some for me. Then, it's Harry Potter for most of the rest of the weekend. It's raining this morning -- finally! -- and hope it keeps raining. Perfect for staying indoors and reading.

[gkhouston]

19. she's not that bad

but she doesn't have Keith's skill when it comes to delivery, that's for sure. There are times when I'd like to sit her down with a transcript and say, "these are the words to stress in this sentence". 'Course if you did the same thing, we might choose different words, LOL!

[RevCheesehead]

14. "We Are Not Afraid" website...

is rather reminiscent of "We're Sorry", isn't it?

[RevCheesehead]

18. Oh, gag. A fundie pope.

If anyone ever doubted, Ratzinger is definately coming down on the side of conservatism.

I think what bothers me is that many of the critics of Harry Potter have never read any of the books.

Where's Father Guido?

[WolverineDG]

20. I am SOOO taking book suggestions

from a Nazi.....NOT.

Too bad Father Guido's audio feed sucked. :( I wanted to hear from him....

dg

[RevCheesehead]

21. Vatican Censorship.

They're really cracking down. :evilgrin:

[RevCheesehead]

22. OMG - Tucker's red tie looks like Pee-Wee Herman's!

[WolverineDG]

25. Think it'll work

if I tell him that that his bike is in the basement of the Alamo?? Maybe he'll just leave in the middle of the show & Rachel will have to take over??? :)

dg

[RevCheesehead]

26. Wouldn't hurt.

Maybe we could score back-to-back Keith on Monday!!

[gkhouston]

28. is it fair

to use the words "score" and "Keith" in the same sentence? Be still, my heart...

[RevCheesehead]

30. It's called antici -

(wait for it...)







pation.

[gkhouston]

32. and speaking of anticipation

did Alison say whether KO's going to be back on Monday? I got in a bit late and won't see the show until the re-air this evening.

[RevCheesehead]

34. Yes, she did.

Instead of see ya, or goodbye, or keep your knees loose, she said in a semi-whisper, "Keith's back on Monday."

[gkhouston]

37. hee. I guess that was a signal to us to

call off the posse. :-)

[RevCheesehead]

39. Maybe, but I detected relief in her voice.

So, I'll cut her a break (for now).

[gkhouston]

40. she's not used to doing this every night

It's got to be hard on her, too. She really is the best sub host they've found so far, but she's got some larnin' to do. I'm glad Keith's going to be back next week, or he'd be doing some larnin', too. ;-)

[WolverineDG]

49. larnin' like this??

:spank: :spank: :spank: :spank: :spank:


dg

[gkhouston]

50. :-) like all good Democrats, I support education n/t

[Berry Cool]

55. I certainly hope so, Wolfie.

Mistress BerryBush would be happy to administer the discipline. :evilgrin:

[Berry Cool]

54. C'mere.

(In other words, I don't think I could take back-to-back Keith...but I'd sure as hell like to try.) :evilgrin:

[gkhouston]

23. and that's gonna work

'cause so many people took their advice about premarital sex and birth control. :eyes:

[Berry Cool]

53. I like the theory that the Pope and Keith are on vacation together

watching Spider-Man II. :rofl:

(Sorry to be late tonight, but hey, you guys caught me having a life again)

[CC]

52. Come Monday

...Yes it's been quite a summer,
limo-drivers and west bound trains.
And now you're off on vacation,
somethin' you tried to explain.
And darlin' I love your snark that's
the reason I watch you each night.

Come Monday It'll be all right,
Come Monday I'll be watching you tight.
You spent four lonely days in a brown Detroit haze
and I just want you back on my show.

A butchered version of Buffet's Come Monday in honor of Keith's coming back finally on Monday.

[Berry Cool]

56. Hear, hear.

But who says he took a train west?

Or is that the only way you could make it rhyme?

[RevCheesehead]

62. Because:

Everyone knows WI is west of NYC. :)

[Berry Cool]

63. It wasn't the "west" part I was questioning

it was the "train" part.
