KOEB Meeting - The "Is this where we're meeting?" thread 6/20/06.

[Clark2008]

Gosh. I haven't done this in awhile.

Yea!! I guess it is!

[ralps]

1. Hi Clark2008, Hi Everyone, will you post a photo of Keith too, Pretty

please?? Edit- Yay!! you did!! :hi: :loveya: :hug: :pals: :woohoo:

[Berry Cool]

8. And let me just add...I got a kick from seeing Nora cut off Kate O'Beirne

on Softball tonight. :rofl: What was with that striped jacket she was wearing? Did O'B think she was singing in a barbershop quartet?

As for KO, it looks as if he didn't let the makeup gals do his hair tonight. Much more natural.

And he's wearing the Tigger tie. :loveya:

[RevCheesehead]

10. Maybe when he's at 30 Rock, he has to do his own makeup?

And I agree. Tigger:loveya:Tie

[Patsy Stone]

14. Every time I see or hear Bob Shrum

I want to stick forks in my eyes. Sit down, ya loser! When you can win an election, come and talk to me.

ed: gram.

[Wetzelbill]

25. hahaha

you too?

Thank gosh, I'm not the only one. :)

So I wonder, how does a guy lose like 9 presidential races and keep getting the job over and over again? (ok, it probably was not that many but it seems like it)

[Patsy Stone]

36. The Peter Principle

or, the old standby: "Fuck up; Move up".

Why does anyone want to listen to him?

:hi:

[Wetzelbill]

41. he is valuable to listen to

you just take everything Bob Shrum says to do and then go and do the exact opposite and you will be successful. :)

[Patsy Stone]

61. True enough!

[Olney Blue]

22. She's a barbershop quartet reject!

[Berry Cool]

2. Hi Clark! Ya done fine, just add a picture of KO.

:hi: to all who come here.

It's so $#!*?&@! good to have him back, isn't it?

Too bad the news is so depressing.

on edit: Good pic, Clarkie.

[Clark2008]

5. LOL - I was gone to get one.

:hi:

[Olney Blue]

3. Hi Clark, hi ralps!

:hi:

[ralps]

7. Hi Olney Blue

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

[Patsy Stone]

4. But it's so nice to see that you have!

:hi:

An eye for an eye. :(

Kohlmann's right that something went wrong and there was a big mistake.

[RevCheesehead]

6. Hi, Clark!

And a :hi: to all tonight!

Keith: I'll forgive you for the glasses. You look much better tonight. :loveya:

[Olney Blue]

9. Keith looks more "normal" tonight.

[RevCheesehead]

He does, indeed.

How are ya, Olney? :hi:

[Olney Blue]

17. I've been really sad all day, thinking about the troops in Iraq.

I went over to read the freepers, and all they could say about it was that it
illustrates the "animals" we are fighting over there.....

[RevCheesehead]

20. It certainly couldn't be because WE torture prisoners, could it?

/sarcasm

I hear ya, Olney. :hug:

[WolverineDG]

56. That logic does not compute with them, Rev

Unfortunately, they refuse to acknowledge the beam in our eye, re: torture.

Menchaca got married just before he was sent to Iraq & his wife is reportedly not doing very well. :( Why do these guys have to pay for Bush's sins? :cry: If he gets to go to Heaven because he gets "forgiven", I sure as hell don't want to go there or have any part of a religion that says he can.

dg

[Berry Cool]

13. It's the hair. I told ya. :-)

See ya After the Show. I'm just going to sit back a while and bask in the Wonderfulness That Is Keith.

[Olney Blue]

19. See ya, Berry!

:hi:

[ralps]

21. Hi RevCheesehead, I got my kitties a couple more cat toys today, including

a catnip stuffed Bush doll! & some dried catnip. :hi: :loveya: :hug: :pals: :woohoo:

[RevCheesehead]

28. I wouldn't be surprised if they ended up burying it.

Or coughing up a hairball on it. :evilgrin:

You're such a good cat mom.

[ralps]

37. Since they don't go outside they can't bury it but I'm hoping they'll

tear it to shreads!! :hi: :loveya: :hug: :pals: :woohoo:

[RevCheesehead]

40. LOL!

You can always help them get a head start, ya know. :evilgrin:

[ralps]

P.S. here's where I got their new toys. They also have an online store

http://www.metropawlis.com/
:hi: :loveya: :hug: :pals: :woohoo:

[RevCheesehead]

52. I'll be sure to check it out.

Have you seen this one? I got mine honeysuckle pillows - they love them, and they're milder than the drug-doping effects of catnip.
http://www.cattoys.com/index.html

[ralps]

69. Thanks for the link RevCheesehead I'll bookmark it

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

[WolverineDG]

57. No, when cats really hate something

they piss on it. Hmmm.....

dg

[RevCheesehead]

59. Cats....

Wisdom in a furry little body. O8)

[Berry Cool]

114. More like puke in a little furry body.

At least if we're talking about my bigger one.

[Patsy Stone]

23. Mlle. Cheese?

:hi:

[RevCheesehead]

30. Oui?

Wie geht's? :hi:

[Patsy Stone]

70. Just watching Craig and loving it.

Floaties all around this evening! :loveya::loveya::loveya:

[RevCheesehead]

72. Yes.

KO-Land is as it should be. :sigh:

[WolverineDG]

24. Especially with the Tiggr tie

:loveya:

:hi: Rev! :hi: everyone!

dg

[Patsy Stone]

27. Hi, DG!

Ah, the Libby fundraiser at Mary's house. Was James there?

[SharonRB]

31. It hasn't happened yet

It might be tonight.

[Olney Blue]

93. After dinner, they will sit around drinking coffee while watching

"The Dark Side" on Frontline.

:rofl:

[SharonRB]

95. Sure they will

Good one, Olney!

[Patsy Stone]

102. Fahrenheit 9/11?

I heard about the soiree yesterday, so I thought this was already the post-mortem.

[RevCheesehead]

32. Hi, Wolvie!

I think of you everytime he wears the Tigg-rr tie. :)

[SharonRB]

11. Hola, Chicas and the Chicos who love us

I've been watching, but was waiting for the computer.

[Patsy Stone]

18. Hiya, Shar!

Just incisive questions as always. Two great interviews. He back and I like him in Secaucus orange. :)

[Patsy Stone]

12. Go on and preach it, Brother (Senator) Reed!

And I love the Rhode Island accent. :)

Nice to see the Dems, finally!

[Berry Cool]

16. Oh, one more thing...loved that line KO just had about

"blaming the media for the country's ills."

That's our KO!!

[RevCheesehead]

15. I saw "Unconstitutional" yesterday on Sundance Channel.

Seeing the results of these brutal murders, it's no surprise. When I saw that yesterday, the first thing I thought was "those guys are going to be tortured & murdered." I cried many, many tears after that documentary.

[Berry Cool]

33. I had to come back and say something completely irreverent

and I know this is terrible considering the horrible news...

...but I guess I have to cling to the dumb funny trivia to make life bearable...

...and here is my dumb funny observation of the evening...

...this is another French cuffs shirt. I thought KO only had one (the lavender of last night). Not anymore. He's wearing cufflinks tonight.

We now return you to your regularly scheduled depressing news and Scooter Libby rehabilitation pardon campaign.

[RevCheesehead]

38. This fashion announcement brought to you by...

BerryBush, the choice of swooning Bay Airs everywhere. :)

[ralps]

26. Georgie had better not pardon any of these crooks!!!

:hi: :loveya: :hug: :pals: :grr:

[SharonRB]

29. I hope Jimmy leaves the house voluntarily

He might get infected with all those Repubs on the premises.

[RevCheesehead]

35. Jimmy?

Carter? Jimmy-Jeff? :shrug:

Hi, Shar! :hi:

[SharonRB]

46. Carville, silly

:hi: Rev.

[Olney Blue]

51. What an odd couple- James and Mary. I still don't get it.

[SharonRB]

53. Never have, never will

I thought maybe they left their jobs at the door when they come home, but this dinner party proves that isn't true.

[Patsy Stone]

62. Me either

But with love, you never can tell. :hi:, Olney!

[Berry Cool]

116. Well, even KO said on Dan Patrick's show once that it doesn't surprise him

when he learns that one half of a couple is Republican and the other Democrat, because he thinks there are things more important than politics.

Maybe that was his lame attempt at trying to explain the temporary insanity that led to dating Laura Ingraham.

Keith, there are some things more important than initial physical attraction... :rofl:

[SharonRB]

34. Irving needs a fundraiser

like I need another head.

[Wetzelbill]

39. Just for the record

I am only here to flirt with RevCheesehead. :loveya:

Isn't Keith Olbermann that Sportscenter guy?


Ok, right now my brother and his friend are here watching the Travel Channel. If he wasn't a cage fighter I would beat him up and change the channel to KO. As of now, I'll pick my battles and watch the replay.

He should know that I do cook his food though. :) (oh.... laxative, I wonder how he'll like that mixed in Kool-Aid)

[RevCheesehead]

42. Oh, Bill.....

:swoon: You melt me. :loveya:

[Wetzelbill]

44. well you know

I try. :) :smoke:

[Berry Cool]

117. I'm envious.

Sheesh. I bet Bill only kisses up to the Rev because he thinks she'll get him in good with the Man Upstairs.

You know...the landlord.

[Wetzelbill]

127. oh I wish

I just got paperwork from the Landlord today. :)

Rev knows I am beyond saving anyway. :)

[Olney Blue]

45. Hi Wetzelbill- your brother and friend are going to have to move

aside so you can watch Frontline tonight! Maybe you can put a little Ambien in the kool-aid.... :boring:

[Wetzelbill]

47. now that is not a bad idea

:)

[gkhouston]

139. before you do that, Bill, consider this:

who cleans the bathroom at your place? :evilgrin:

[Wetzelbill]

145. he does

that's what makes the plan so diabolically perfect. :evilgrin:

[bleever]

43. "Is it okay to sleep with a robot?"

Answer: Only if you sprang for the rustproofing, like a real gentleman.

:)




ed: pic

[Patsy Stone]

54. Or, in the words of Costanza...

"...was that wrong?"

:hi:

[RevCheesehead]

55. ....

:spank:

:rofl:

So, you think I have a chance with Grovelbot? :loveya:

[Olney Blue]

65. Hey! Didn't you take a vow of chastity, Rev?

O8)

[RevCheesehead]

67. ....

:rofl:

[Berry Cool]

120. I think the only Chastity the Rev is familiar with

is Sonny and Cher's daughter. :rofl:

[RevCheesehead]

121. I am not a lesbian.

:rofl:

[Wetzelbill]

68. What!

And to think, Rev said I had a one in a million chance with her..

So what was all that one in a million talk anyway? :)

[Olney Blue]

73. Dumb and Dumber... my favorite line....

:rofl:

[Wetzelbill]

you have no clue how much like Lloyd Christmas

I actually am. :rofl:

[Olney Blue]

97. I need to warn Rev......

[Wetzelbill]

105. more like this:

:)

[gkhouston]

140. Lent is over

she only "borrowed" the chastity. Somehow, it never last for long around her. :7

[bleever]

71. Robots can't resist my

[RevCheesehead]

75. You sweet-talker!

:rofl:

[Wetzelbill]

83. Axe body spray for Robots

"Do you regret a questionable hookup?" :)

[Berry Cool]

122. This is the kind of thing that makes Bill long for

the comforts of his Ridgid Tool Calendar:



A man always knows he's got the right equipment when he's got a RIDGID Tool.

[Wetzelbill]

136. she's not a robot right?

:)

[Berry Cool]

119. Gives new meaning to those famous words from the Tin Man:

"Oil can...oil can..."

[RevCheesehead]

48. Good News (from LBN): Presbyterians open the door for gay clergy!!

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=102&topic_id=2347799&mesg_id=2347799

It essentially gives the local churches more leeway in determining who is "fit" for ordination... and they say that sexual orientation should not be a defining factor!

:woohoo:

[SharonRB]

49. Great news, Rev.

[Berry Cool]

134. Yeah, and she just said she's NOT a lesbian!

Then again, from the way she drools over KO, I think that was already a foregone conclusion...

[gkhouston]

141. excellent. That'll really help the More Light movement. n/t

[WolverineDG]

50. That burger clip?

Not as funny as "Banana Phone." ;)

dg

[RevCheesehead]

58. Few things are.

Like the "Silvio" video. :)

[ralps]

60. Ohhh!!! Dan Rather get Really Snarky!!!! Cool!!

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

[RevCheesehead]

63. Oh, Craig....

Nice to see you sling-free. :loveya:

[Clark2008]

64. Dueling stripped ties!

Keith and Craig.

:loveya:

[RevCheesehead]

66. Oh-oh. Keith questions the tinfoilhat theory on Dan.

Good question, but *some* people on DU are gonna be pissed.

[Berry Cool]

124. But did you notice again the subtle message KO sent...

He was saying that he doesn't think that a TV news personality like Rather can be brought down simply by a bunch of outsiders who don't like what he has to say...that it's not going to really work unless the management at his network doesn't like him either. But if they do...ain't nothin' gonna happen to him.

Maybe I'm reading stuff into everything he says, but I couldn't help but feel that that comment was a bit pointed.

[RevCheesehead]

126. I think it was a valid point.

And yeah, Keith speaks from experience, too.

[Patsy Stone]

74. I had no idea that Connie left the show on MSNBC

This clip of Connie's Sweeney Sister imitation... Oy!

[RevCheesehead]

77. My. Brain. Hurts.

Make it stop. Please. :banghead:

[Patsy Stone]

87. Clang! Clang! Clang! Went the Trolley!

[RevCheesehead]

90. Thanks for THAT image!

Arrrrrrrgh!!! :banghead::banghead:

[bleever]

138. The Sweeney Sisters.

:loveya:

:rofl:

:hi:

[WolverineDG]

88. Aw c'mon

the grunt as she heaves herself off of the piano is classic. :rofl:

I hope she was being that campy intentionally because if not, damn, she needs meds. :scared:

dg

[SharonRB]

78. She and Maury were cancelled

Seeing that clip once last night was quite enough, thank you. I didn't need to see it again. Please tell me she knew how funny she was and that she doesn't really think she can sing.

:puke:

[RevCheesehead]

82. Or like Jon Stewart asked:

Why was the pianist there?

[Berry Cool]

125. The grunt was funny, actually.

But I understand she "sings" just to drive Maury nuts.

[gkhouston]

142. yeah, that was definitely a moment for emergency fast-forward.

Fortunately, I always keep the remote close by, to avoid the TomKat stories...

[Olney Blue]

76. We can be sure of one thing: Connie will not be doing Broadway.

[RevCheesehead]

80. and some people say there is no God.

:evilgrin:

[ralps]

79. Gack!!! I think Steph played Connie earlier. She's got a terrible singing

voice IMO :hi: :loveya: :hug: :pals: :puke:

[SharonRB]

81. Yours and the rest of the hearing world

[RevCheesehead]

84. Sharon!

Your snark is showing!! :rofl:

[SharonRB]

91. Where?

Should I put something over it?

Every once in a while I let it out in the open.

[WolverineDG]

118. She's a troublemaker, Rev

Watch out...she got tombstoned, ya know. ;)

dg

[RevCheesehead]

123. Good point.

But she does hang with some pretty fascinating people.

[SharonRB]

147. And who would that be?

[rusty charly]

85. she looked good in the dress, however

[SharonRB]

92. I have to agree with that

She has a great figure and it was a pretty dress. She just should have kept her mouth shut.

[Olney Blue]

104. Yes she looked good in the dress, and this is a prime reason for

having a mute button on the remote!

Hi rusty!

[Wetzelbill]

86. at this point I'm just pretending I know what is going on

which isn't all that different than when I am actually watching the show while posting on this thread. :)

[RevCheesehead]

89. Technically speaking, Data is an android.

Yet he was "fully functional, and programmed in multiple techniques..."

[rusty charly]

106. rosie!

[RevCheesehead]

110. Are they seeing each other?

Damn. All the good ones are taken. :rofl:

[Patsy Stone]

94. Mark Cuban

Sorry you're currently losing in the series. :)

[Berry Cool]

128. And once again, Keith has an ironic portion of the program

featuring a man in trouble, in part, for supposedly cussin' someone out. :rofl:

[Patsy Stone]

96. Sci-Fi Buzz?

:rofl:

[Patsy Stone]

98. BIG GIANT HEAD!!!!

Ah, you're right Rev. The world *is* back to spinning along properly.

[RevCheesehead]

100. Just the KO world.

The rest of the world is still fucked up, unfortunately.

But it's good to see Keith having fun, eh?

[Patsy Stone]

109. Indeed it is

I didn't realize how much I missed him.

Oh, and Sex with Robots?

[RevCheesehead]

111. why does that remind me of that scene from Pulp Fiction?

Oy.

[Patsy Stone]

115. Oh, ewwww.

The whole thing actually reminds me more of Blade Runner. Oooh, a 1982 model Harrison Ford. My word... Whew! Is is hot in here?

[Berry Cool]

135. Yeah. In outer space, nobody knows you're a replicant.

Maybe not even you!

News flash: Ann Coulter was recently submitted to the Voigt-Kampff empathy test.

She failed.

We now know that she is a replicant. That is all.

[Berry Cool]

129. Indeed it is. I love his every laugh, his every dramatic moment,

his every silly facial expression.

And I love it when he talks dirty about sex with robots!

"Ohh, the pain, the shame!"

[ralps]

99. Today's Worst person in the world is.... LOL Bill O'Reilly!!! for his Pres

O'Reilly comments!! :hi: :loveya: :hug: :pals: :woohoo: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[Berry Cool]

130. It was great to see Bill back at the top of the heap.

I think he missed it a bit myself.

And I loved KO's opportunity to get back at the Faux News slam "MSNBC won't be around much longer."

[bleever]

101. KO sticks up for Connie again.

I guess they're pals.

[RevCheesehead]

103. I loved the snark:

Here's your home copy of the game "People who live in glass houses." :rofl:

[Berry Cool]

131. Not from what I gather.

He was sticking up for MSNBC against another Faux Snooze crack, is all...

[RevCheesehead]

107. And let's have a BIG HOORAY

for a Brangelina-TomKat-Britney-free broadcast!! :applause:

[ralps]

113. Yay!! for a Brangelina- TomKat- Brittney Free broadcast!!

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

[Berry Cool]

132. Hurray! YEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAA!

See, Keith? We KNEW you could do it!!!! :applause: :bounce:

[bleever]

108. Teledildonics?!?!?!?!?!?

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

[RevCheesehead]

112. That's what you get from watching TV.

[Berry Cool]

133. I do not think I even WANT to know...

...and you'll note how KO scooted away from THAT one in a hurry!

Hey, Keith. It wasn't that long ago you were talking about "units" being sold in the drugstore!

What can we say? It's just that his mind is in the gutter all the time. And then he has the nerve to blame it all on the poor nerdy author of that book. :rofl:

[Gogi]

137. Education about a lot of things...

you reeeaaallly don't need a mental picture floating around in your brain of. :rofl: My brain is messed up enough as it is, thankyouverymuch.:crazy: This is my tribute to Highlights Magazine's one billionth issue.:bounce: Notice, no beer emoticons!O8) Okay, enough of this: :evilgrin:


PS: Check my sig line, it's the world's shortest poem in the English language.

Hola, Senor KO, :loveya:

[gkhouston]

143. the transcript for KO's next robot montage (wink)

Sex with robots! Robot sex is what we all need. A robot could be just the thing to wean you off your little sex addiction problem. (And lite cigarettes are healthier for you, too.) Spending too much money on porn and prostitutes? Afraid of compromising pictures and STDs? Buy a robot. It'll do anything you want, any time you want, and never tell a soul. You'll never spend another dime on lap dances or dirty movies because you can program your robot to do anything! (Software not included.) Buy twins for those special occasions!

Sick of the dating scene? Buy a robot! Robots are always on time, always in the mood, and they never say the wrong thing because they only talk when you want them to. And if you're thinking of settling down, why not go robot? Can it get any better than no in-laws?

Married and bored? Buy a robot! The neighbors down the street already have a European one that costs four times as much as the American one which is actually made in China, but hey, it's European. Is your spouse going on a long business trip? Instead of hiding a love note in their luggage, why not send along a greeting they'll really remember? That's right, many fine hotels are now renting robots. Just send a CD with your favorite program and your spouse will enjoy your special touch even when you're hundreds of miles apart.

Concerned about your children's grades? Promise Johnny an uplifting experience if he can bring that D up to a C+ and see how fast he makes the honor roll! Or maybe you're concerned about your children's dating habits? Get them a robot to be their "special friend" and never worry again because the robot has GPS and will constantly inform you of its whereabouts via a discreet messaging system.

Have your children taken the abstinence pledge? Did you know that sex with robots does not count as fornication? It's true; robots aren't mentioned in the Bible as a "shalt not", so it's okay. Yes, you could buy your child a Celibacy Cyborg and help them preserve their virtue until their precious wedding day. Just ask your minister. (Vertical positions not available for some denominations.) Sex with Robots. It's the answer to everything!




Seriously, the first thing I thought of when I saw the "Sex With Robots" story was Jeffrey Dahmer. He claimed he wanted a sex slave and that he tried to turn some of his victims into zombies by drilling holes in their heads and pouring in acid. If Dahmer had had a robot sex slave, would that have been enough to satisfy him? I don't think it would have, since the motivation for lust killing doesn't seem to be simple lust, but rather a need to create fear, vent rage, and assert control. It's the ultimate "owning" of the victim and I'm not sure a lust killer would get the same satisfaction from a robot victim, even if it were programmed to act like a human. (Although I'm imagining a new horror flick -- nonsentient robot subjected to years of horrific abuse by some sicko becomes sentient and then wreaks its revenge.)

And the second thing I wondered was what effect it would have for those people who only marginally function as social creatures. If you have very marginal social skills and you get this human-like thing that you can use as you please at home -- and I'm not talking about the sex so much as the idea that you turn the thing on when you want it and turn it off when you don't and you don't have to deal with it the rest of the time, i.e., there's no "maintenance" -- how is that going to affect your relationship with real people?

[RevCheesehead]

144. A robot is an awful pricy vibrator, isn't it?

:rofl: Oh, Gina - you're as bad as Botany!! :rofl:

[gkhouston]

146. would you like to have a detailed debate of the relative merits?

:evilgrin:
