[ralps]

[Patsy Stone]

1. Bill-o and Gerald-o

That's a nightmare-o!

, ralps! , all!

[SharonRB]

6. Hello, dahling!

Check out my post count.

[ralps]

7. Hi Patsy, LOL

[SharonRB]

2. He's way too stripey tonight

Hi, ralps.

[ralps]

11. Hi SharonRB, Congratulations!!

[Catchawave]

18. Clue me in.....

but will send hugs to Shar anyhow sweetie ag'in

[SharonRB]

23. Hi, Catch

I hit 10,000 posts about an hour ago.

[Olney Blue]

Congratulations, Sharon!

[SharonRB]

33. Thanks, Olney!

[Olney Blue]

41. How is the electricity situation in your neck of the woods?

Are you OK?

[SharonRB]

46. Yeah, it went back on about 10 minutes after we got home

from the coffee shop -- at about 9:30.

[ralps]

27. SharonRB hit the 10,000 post mark today

[WolverineDG]

63. I agree

Stripes + stripes + pattern = Fashion no-no.

Although I normally like the mint chocolate chip tie, it does not go with this outfit.

dg

[SharonRB]

68. Your TV needs adjustment -- this isn't the mint chocolate chip

[WolverineDG]

114. Um, yes it is.

dg

[RevCheesehead]

135. Um, there's not a stripe of green in it.

[SharonRB]

144. Um, thanks Rev

The MCC has a stripe of a different color!

[Patsy Stone]

146. And pink? n/t

[Catchawave]

3. Hi ralps'a'palooza :)

Hope I'm in the right spot

and

[ralps]

14. Hi Catchawave, yes you are!

[Catchawave]

28. Oh yeah.....Lieberman Lynching got me in big

trouble today, like I can't keep up with politically correct DU' horsepa'sh*t on DU

And I like Joe, I like Hil, I like JohnE...whew...just gotta stop likin' people !

[SharonRB]

36. Oh, I got in big trouble in GD last night

My thread wound up getting locked overnight. Now I know why I stay away from the Israel-Lebanon discussion. I just posted something from a Lebanese woman who supports Israel and WWIII broke out. I won't be going back there anytime soon.

[Olney Blue]

66. Yes, I saw your thread- I had to stop reading it because it got very

uncomfortable really fast. Why can't people have a discussion without being derogatory toward others?

[SharonRB]

79. I wished I was here at home where it's comfortable

and people are civil to each other. I really screwed up posting that, but I thought it presented a different point of view and was worth reading. I didn't do it to be inflammatory at all. People are so over the top on this. I'm so torn. Of course, I support Israel, but I hate all the killing of civilians. There's no easy answer and people try to make it sound like it's black and white, but it isn't.

[Olney Blue]

95. I felt sad today when my friend told me she was afraid to wear her

Jewish star.

It is hard, Sharon. I don't engage in any threads about this except for those critical of our
incompetent administration.

[WolverineDG]

71. I had a thread locked

because I was "rallying the troops" in the Texas forum to go educate some idiot from another state who was endorsing Kinky. That's okay, that's what PMs are for.

dg

[RevCheesehead]

137. GD has been a cesspool this week.

And believe it or not, so has the Lounge!

I give great thanks to God and Skinner for our clubhouse.

[SharonRB]

148. You and me both, Rev

I won't be going back there for a very long time.

[RevCheesehead]

151. Believe me, I totally understand.

You know it's Shark Week on the Discovery Channel. And I think in honor of Shark Week, DU has jumped the shark.

The Lounge crap in the last week or so had me so pissed, I sent an e-mail to Skinner to complain.

Just stay here with us, where everybody knows your name, and they're always glad you came.

[SharonRB]

153. That's my plan for the time being.

Here and the Michigan forum. I'll just read the other stuff occasionally, but I'm not posting anything about the ME anymore. Uh, uh, not me.

[Patsy Stone]

155. Between the Israel/Lebanon threads

and the pro-Castro/anti-Castro factions, I've spent very little time there of late.

[RevCheesehead]

157. Oy, that's right!

I'll bet it's not easy being Patsy on DU.

But I'm glad you grace us with your presence here!

[Patsy Stone]

163. Love ya more!

Yeah, not quite sure how one can be pro-Castro simply because of universal health care, but this is DU. Anything is possible.

A few of the threads were just for Socialists. Is this Socialist Underground?

[RevCheesehead]

165. It's Freeper Underground, with a few DINOs.

Very sad, really. I posted a thread in the Lounge, asking why on earth I was channeling Rodney King. It got two replies. One of them was Merh.

[Patsy Stone]

173. I'm sorry I didn't see it

I would have posted.

DU does this a lot. I'm not looking forward to the primary season. I joined after the last one, but I know it was ugly.

Some guy in one of the threads posted that he was so happy to be leaving RED Florida because he couldn't find a job after a year here, and was moving to BLUE California -- and that the Cubans in Miami were the lowest form of life on the planet.



My favorite is that his avatar was the Vietnam Vets ribbon. I'm thinking confused Freeper. Without the Miami exiles, the republicans wouldn't win here. I don't think he knows that, and that he thinks they're just more illegals.

I told him not to let the door hit his ass on the way out.

[Berry Cool]

4. It's more "Factor Fiction"!

Oh Keith...Boss Hijack suit again, and stripes and checks running every which way...agggh, MY EYES!!!!

Not that Keith isn't always a sight for sore eyes, but yeesh!

ralps and all!

[ralps]

16. Hi BerryBush, He does look very stripey!!

[RevCheesehead]

141. What, no floaty hearts from you??

Color me stunned.

[Patsy Stone]

5. AGAIN with the tie that doesn't go with anything.

No, really, tell me...

Who is dressing him? Jeez Louise!

[SharonRB]

8. Someone who needs, glasses, obviously

[Berry Cool]

17. That's it, he is dressing himself.

And he looked SO GOOD last night.

Give me Creamsicle Keith with a normal amount of stripes and some nice chest hair like up above, over this any day!!

Sorry Keith.

[RevCheesehead]

149. A Creamsicle Keith?

Hey Berry, did you ever see Stephen Colbert's "I Have a Dreamsicle"?
http://www.comedycentral.com/shows/the_colbert_report/v...

[Catchawave]

12. I notice that too Pats....

Where have we gone wrong

[Patsy Stone]

45. Heya, Catch!

Being dressed either by someone with no sense of style, or such an avant-garde sense of style that we are light years behind their clairvoyance.

[SharonRB]

20. Now, Richard Wolffe knows how to dress.

[Patsy Stone]

25. Yes.

Someone should be taking notes.

[Patsy Stone]

9. He's too busy? Too busy for Congress?

Too busy doing what? Not managing the war, that's for sure.

[SharonRB]

10. Is Rummy an idiot?

Yes.

Hi, Carl!

[Catchawave]

Yes...Hil grabbed his cajones today....

it was a mixed feelin' on DU...I like Hil :sigh:

Oh, not for Prez,

[SharonRB]

13. COULD move to civil war?

WTF do they call it now?

[WolverineDG]

80. My thoughts exactly, Sharon

GMTA

Congrats on reaching 10K!

Check my post count too.



dg

[SharonRB]

82. Thanks, and congrats to you, too.

[crispini]

15. Hey, peeps, wassup? The prodigal returns.

Good heavens, Ralps, where on earth did you get that pic?

Hi kids!

[Patsy Stone]

21. OH MY GOODNESS!!

Yay!



Fighting the good fight?

[crispini]

30. Hey Patsela!

Good heavens, this tie does NOT go with this suit.

Start a new job on Monday, also zoning and neighborhood issues, and Dem stuff. Mostly the job change, actually. It's been stressing me out beyond all belief.

[Patsy Stone]

37. Oh, booo.

So, that whole thing worked out like this, huh? I hope it's a great move and that you'll be very happy. Sorry to hear about the stress too. Was there at least some time for yoga?

They have tried this tie with everything. It actually, IIRC, ended up looking the best with the GSB suit. This outfit, however, is such a no go, it's not even funny.

So great to see you. You were sorely missed. Bot's been pining.

[crispini]

44. Awwwwwwww. I'll do my best to come by more often.

Hopefully at least now that things have been decided I'll be less stressed. I have been a BAD girl about the yoga and so on. I've mostly been handling my stress with, well, beer.

But, wow, the new job comes with working from home and trips to Manhattan every month or so. What's not to like?

[SharonRB]

48. Oops -- guess that answers my question

Guess we can't stay with you after all in NY, since you're not actually moving there.

[crispini]

52. Give it a few months.

Think I should look for a place on the Upper East Side?

[SharonRB]

56. Sounds good to me.

[WolverineDG]

85. Does your place need legal?

I'd love to telecommute from home too! I can do monthly trips to Manhattan.

dg

[crispini]

106. Hee hee!

It's a startup. So, not yet.

[WolverineDG]

110. Hee!

Well, let me know if so. Not sure what I could do, but it's an interesting idea to toy with.

dg

[Patsy Stone]

115. That all sounds amazing!

I have everything crossed that this works out.

[crispini]

133. Me too!

Thanks sweetie!

[SharonRB]

39. Do you have to move?

What will you be doing?

[crispini]

49. Maybe. Working from home until we get that worked out.

It's a pretty pricey move and pretty pricey cost of living increase, so I'm officing out of the house until we're all sure that that is what we want.

But, yea, there might be a move in my future. Cool and scary at the same time.

[ralps]

22. Hi crispini, Welcome back!!! & I got it from the KO Fan site

[crispini]

32. Hi ralps!

[SharonRB]

26. CRISPI!!!

Where have you been? Welcome home. We've missed you.

[crispini]

34. Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww.

I missed you guys too!

I'm starting my new job IN MANHATTAN on Monday. weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

[SharonRB]

42. Manhattan?????

Wow, now we have a place to stay next time we visit!

[rusty charly]

74. i'm in manhattan, too

but spend half my time on the jersey shore

[crispini]

86. Howdy rusty charly!

I'm stoked, I'll be in town soon for training. I love NYC and now I'll have lots of chances to go there! Do you live in Manhattan? I think I need to start meeting people up there in case I really do move.

[rusty charly]

129. write me when you get here

i'll give you the grand tour

[Olney Blue]

35. Pink fuzzy handcuffs!

Hi crispini!

[crispini]

57. Howdy Olney!

How's life?

[Olney Blue]

61. My life is very good, thank you!

So you are moving to Manhattan- what part of the city will you live in? Best wishes in your new job.

[crispini]

70. The job's in Manhattan ..

I'll be working out of the house until everybody decides that moving is cool & that they want to pay relocation and the higher salary. So that's kind of nice.

[Botany]

53. Does Crispini want to cuff Botany?

Yes, you bet. Golly Gee he is the cats pajamas

[crispini]

58. Hey Cuddles!

Always nice to see you.

[Botany]

69. Do you want to throw up everytime Rummy answers a ? w/ a ?

Sure you do.

Have fun in N.Y.C. ......

Crispini

[crispini]

73. So nice to be home.....

[WolverineDG]

76. CRISPY!!!!!!!!!

Where've ya been????



dg

[ralps]

88. Hi WolverineDG

[WolverineDG]

113. Hey Ralps

dg

[crispini]

100. Hey sweet thing!

TTC called me and told me to get my little self in here and I also happened to have some down time tonight! Good to see you!

[WolverineDG]

108. We were worried

We were getting ready to pass out milk cartons w/your pic on them!!

dg

[RevCheesehead]

162. The only problem with that scenario....

is that around here, they no longer make milk in cartons.
But how cool would that be, to point to one and say "I KNOW her!!!"

[Berry Cool]

81. CRISPI!!! WELCOME BACK!!!!

We missed ya!!!

KO's hot tonight. Don't you love people who can't resist getting into it with other people? Temper, temper!!!!!!!

I was tempted to go off and be a shopaholic tonight but I resisted the temptation. Rather watch Keith go after Bill-O again than go shopping.

[SharonRB]

87. Watch what you call yourself, Berry

You know you'd rather be here.

[RevCheesehead]

164. roflmao!!

No, really!

[crispini]

103. Howdy Berry!

So nice to see everyone!

[Patsy Stone]

19. I still like Richard's old glasses better.

And if he gets any more of a tan, he's going to look like one of those people they shoot in shadow to conceal their identity.

[Olney Blue]

24. Hi ralps and everyone!

Oh man, those troops in Iraq are looking so tired.

[ralps]

29. Hi Olney Blue

[Patsy Stone]

112. They do, and I'm sure they are.

That's very sad.

. Olney.

[bleever]

31. Did Keef's mom buy him that tie?

It sure wasn't us.

everybody.

[crispini]

38. Howdy bleever!

[bleever]

84. Hey hi howdy, ms. crispi!

You've been missed alot!



Congrats on the new job! New York: if you can make it there...expect guests!

[crispini]

111. LOL!

I won't stay away so long next time.... I've missed you guys too.

[ralps]

40. Hi bleever LOL Would a plain tie look better with that suit?

[bleever]

90. I would suggest a tie decorated with

little mathematical symbols, in black and white, to go with the graph paper shirt.

Perhaps something like this:

[Patsy Stone]

59. It always seemed to me

that this tie should be worn by an 85-year-old man named Murray, with a maroon sportcoat, on his way to the Early Bird special.



ed: gram.

[SharonRB]

62. You nailed it, Pats

[crispini]

75. Hee hee hee!

[bleever]

94. "I'll have the chicken fried steak with the macaroni salad,

and a Fresca."

[Patsy Stone]

102. Here's your Fresca

I'll be right back with some rolls.


...Fresca

[Gogi]

184. I think his nephew must be buying him ties!

Missed the first part of the show, had to go to the grocery store. I hate going to the grocery store. Do we really need twelve brands of cottage cheese?


KO

[Botany]

43. Is Botany the Fav of the EDVs?

Why, yes. They think he is a dickens.

Do they find him hot? Hotter then a black dog on a sunny day in august.

Would Botany like to spend some time w/ Rummy? You Betcha.

Is Rummy's answering a question with a question just about the most
annoying thing ever?

That SOB must practice that shit ..... all that death .... all that waste ...
and he plays word games.

[Patsy Stone]

50. Saw the whole thing as an inconvenience.

Too busy.



There's a special place in Hell for him.

[ralps]

51. Hi Botany, For Sure!!!

[Olney Blue]

55. Hi dick

ens.

[RevCheesehead]

168. Cuddles!!

How's Fluebie doing?

[ralps]

47. LOL Has Pat Robertson seen the light about Global Warming??? Let's hope

so!!

[babylonsister]

64. That slam of Gore's movie on youtube, brought to you by Exxon?

Hi, everyone! Did I get you all?

[SharonRB]

65. Hi, sister!

[ralps]

91. Hi babylonsister

[Patsy Stone]

156. Hi, babylonsister!

How's it going?

[babylonsister]

161. KO kicked ass tonight! He's my shining star amidst the madness!

[Patsy Stone]

167. You said it.

And Berry was right: maybe the bad outfit was proportionally inverted to the spectaular show?

[RevCheesehead]

171. Do you think maybe Keith's going for the "Nightstalker" look?

Nah, that's not it.


How about Herb Tarlek?



Yeah, that's it.

[babylonsister]

174. I haven't read this thread, but the 'bad' outfit was noted.

And he looked so absolutely hunky last night! Go figure!

But I'd offer to dress him. I think I'd do better!

[RevCheesehead]

175. Get in line, sister!

[RevCheesehead]

169. If Pat sees that Light,

I hope he follows it all the way into the next world. It'd be good for him, and good for the rest of us, too.

[bleever]

187. Now THAT

is the kind of tough-love pastorizing that Pat would get


if God really loved him all that much right now.

[rusty charly]

54. hi guys!

[SharonRB]

60. Hi, charly

[rusty charly]

67. congrats on the benchmark!

[SharonRB]

89. Thanks!

[ralps]

72. Hi rusty charly

[rusty charly]

78. ralps!

[Patsy Stone]

77. BTW: Thanks for the picture, ralps.

Keith looks great! Love the orange Lacoste shirt. Orange is such a silly color, but I think it's a great color.

[ralps]

83. Bad Girl Scout Leader!!! Taking $5,000!!!

[rusty charly]

92. is oliver stone doing backflips?

[Patsy Stone]

145. He's a cockroach

[Catchawave]

93. NORAD

slept ?

This is painful to watch.........

[crispini]

97. This is VERY painful to watch.

Hiya Catch.

[ralps]

98. The Pentagon decided to Spin What happened!!! This makes me so furious!

[rusty charly]

105. posner interview:

http://hnn.us/articles/1680.html

[WolverineDG]

119. Jesus, I just don't know

how much more outrage I can stand at this point! And to refuse to release these tapes to the government commission set up to investigate 9/11!!!!!!!!!!!!!



dg

[Patsy Stone]

96. Their ineptitude cost lives

and that's horrible.

[Olney Blue]

99. Posner nails Pentagon and Cheney as LIARS about 9-11

"Who knew?" Donald Rumsfeld

[bleever]

101. Cheney lied. Just made up a story.

In what circle of hell will his sorry ass be deep-fried?

[Patsy Stone]

107. He's in Satan's mouth

being chewed upon.

[RevCheesehead]

172. OK, Patsy - you have managed what I thought the impossible.

I actually feel sympathy and pity.... for Satan.

[Patsy Stone]

179. I know

Ninth Circle

Zone 4: Judecca is for traitors to their lords and benefactors. At the center is Satan, who has three faces, one red, one black, and one a pale yellow, each having a mouth that chews on a prominent traitor. Satan himself is represented as a giant, terrifying beast, weeping tears from his six eyes, which mix with the traitors' blood sickeningly. He is waist deep in ice, and beats his six wings as if trying to escape, but the icy wind that emanates only further ensures his imprisonment (as well as that of the others in the ring). The sinners in the mouths of Satan are Brutus and Cassius in the left and right mouths, respectively, who were involved in the assassination of Julius Caesar (an act which, to Dante, represented the destruction of a unified Italy), and Judas Iscariot (the namesake of this zone) in the central, most vicious mouth, who betrayed Jesus. Judas is being administered the most horrifying torture of the three traitors, his head in the mouth of Lucifer, and his back being forever skinned by the claws of Lucifer. (Canto XXXIV) What is seen here is a perverted trinity. Satan is impotent, ignorant, and evil while God can be attributed as the opposite: all powerful, all knowing, and good.

[RevCheesehead]

181. I'd vote to give Judas a break.

There are many who believe (as do I) that he was chosen to "betray" Jesus, in order to bring about the passion and resurrection. (that's also one of the themes in "The Last Temptation of Christ".)

[Patsy Stone]

182. Okay,

and, since I was thinking of cutting Brutus some slack since Italy turned out alright in the end, let's look at Cassius.

How 'bout Cassius? Does he really need to be there either? Can't we get three new traitors in there? I think it's time.

[RevCheesehead]

183. Lord knows there are plenty of candidates.

I'd go for the top 3: bush, cheney, and rummy. I think Dante would concur.

[SharonRB]

109. Well, he's always liked being in the inner circle

So, I'm sure there's a spot for him in the inner circle of Hell.

[ralps]

104. Did any of you all see the before & after satellite photos of Beirut??

[Berry Cool]

132. And it's another "K" for Keith! Smackdown now complete!!

He may have dressed in the dark tonight, but he saved his smarts for the script!

[babylonsister]

138. Yes, ralps. Here's a thread with pictures. It's been dessimated:

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.ph...

[rusty charly]

116. bill's

bus doesn't go to the end of the block.

is not plugged into the right socket.

the lights are on...

[Botany]

117. And as Lebanon dies and Israel gets rocket attacks ...

..... shit for brains goes on vacation.

Carter 1979 Camp David
Reagan 1982 Called Israel and tells them to stop the Invasion in Lebanon
Clinton 1998 Called Syria and told them to stop Hezballah's attack on Israel

Bush 2006 No cease fire .... condi is a match to gas .... then vacation

[Patsy Stone]

152. Wait!

The story I saw this morning mentioned that it was going to be the shortest summer vacation of his presidency. I think I was supposed to feel sorry for him or something. Wow.

[Botany]

166. Did I ever tell you that you are my Fav EDV?

Don't tell the others.

Damn bush is so far out of his depth that it is not funny.

No way Israel crushes Hezeballah and no way Hezeballah gets
Israel to soften it's stand.

For the love of God, why can't bush pick up the phone? We are sending
jet fuel, bombs, missiles, and money to Israel and Saudi Arabia is funding
much of Hezeballah.

[Patsy Stone]

185. Someone's gonna have to tell him what to say.

And who would listen to us at this point? That's the problem.

[SharonRB]

170. Well, I see we made it through Tisha B'av

It was today and the folks at Rapture Ready were pretty sure something big was going to happen today, given the history of the date. I'm sure all the beauty shops in their neighborhoods were really busy yesterday getting them all ready for the end of the world.

[Patsy Stone]

176. I wonder if you just float up through the ceiling

Or, is it better if you move outside just in case?

[SharonRB]

180. I don't think I'd chance going through the ceiling

I'm pretty sure you'd have to go outside.

[ralps]

118. LOL Factor Fiction!!! With BillO & Geraldo!! It's shooting fish in a

Barrel!!

[crispini]

124. That was awesome. I was totally ROFL! nt

[Cassandra]

158. My favorite part...

is the laughter of the staff that you can easily hear in the background. They must have a very good time in that studio.

[RevCheesehead]

177. Hi, Cassandra!

Nice to have you with us tonight!

[Cassandra]

186. Thanks.

I was watching a minute or two of the rerun (watched at 8 but wasn't paying clothes attention), just to catch the outfit. Absolutely, too many stripes.

[rusty charly]

120. geraldo is

bill's ed mcmahon

[RevCheesehead]

121. Oh. My. God. - - CHEST HAIR!!!!!!!

(((((((:thudd ))))))

Hey, we got done in record time tonight!

Keith, I , but I swear I'm going to steal that shirt.

[ralps]

123. Hi RevCheesehead, LOL Chest Hair!!

[RevCheesehead]

128. Yeah - like I needed any encouragement to lust after Keith.

Nice, nice find, ralps!!

[crispini]

127. Hi Rev!

[RevCheesehead]

131. Hi, my name's Ruth - who are you?

Crrrrrrrrrispi Crrrrrrrrrrrrrritter!!!



You didn't happen to find Sparky outside, did ya?

[crispini]

136. Awwwwwwww. Is he still MIA?

I hope he turns up soon.

[RevCheesehead]

154. Congrats on your new job!!

Look out Keith - first it's tellecommunicating from Texas... but when they find out how truly fab she is, she'll be in your neighborhood!

[crispini]

160. Just one more reason to looooove Manhattan.

Oy, I can't believe I'm actually thinking about moving. Well I still have time to get used to it.

[RevCheesehead]

178. If it's any encouragement,

I've always considered you a New Yorker in exile.

[Patsy Stone]

122. It's like the Kids in the Hall characters Hecubus and Satan

"I have your rash cream, Master!"



See how far Geraldo has fallen? Wow. Who knew he could go any lower than that Capone's Vault fiasco?

[RevCheesehead]

125. Oh, I'm so glad I got to hear at least part of that.

Rappers have masters?

[Patsy Stone]

142. The little Geraldo "I agree!" voice

in the beginning was priceless.

[Berry Cool]

147. Haven't you ever heard of Grandmaster Flash?

edited to add Grandmaster's "Bill-O Rap":

"I'm Grandmaster Flash
and I'm here to say
that Bill O'Reilly
should just go away
But it's not just him
it's part his sidekick's fault
Geraldo's brain is as empty
as Al Capone's vault"

[Patsy Stone]

159. Sometimes it makes me wonder

how I keep from going under.

Nice one, Berry!

[ralps]

126. LOL It takes a village to satisfy Madonna!!!

[ralps]

130. Today's Worst Person in The World- Rush Limbaugh for ripping Rep.

Dingall & editing Dingall's reply!!

[SharonRB]

134. Dingell has been around a long time.

[Berry Cool]

140. I gotta say, while what Posner had to say tonight was good (though sad),

his outfit was the only one I could think of that was worse than Keith's.

[rusty charly]

139. not much of a rob schneider fan, but

it kind of a funny ploy

[Patsy Stone]

143. Mel! Ohnohedidn't!

make an "I almost got a ticket on the way here" joke. Oy.

[rusty charly]

150. wow. have they gone tabloid with scare-oborough

opening with 'the view'???!!??
