KOEB (Wednesday)

[SharonRB]

I know I'm early, but I'm bored. Anyone out there?




Couldn't resist. I read yesterday's thread at work today, since I missed and thought this was a hoot! I saw the show, but I was getting my tax stuff together while I watched.
:loveya:

[keepthemhonest]

1. Hey there

nice superman outfit

[SharonRB]

2. Dontcha you just love it.

I forgot who put it out there last night. Were you there?

[keepthemhonest]

19. No I was not my computer has been acting up again.

so instead of being on line every night I have been on the phone trying to get some help. Finally about five minutes before you started this thread <poff I was back on. Yipee.

[RevCheesehead]

26. God works in mysterious ways.

Wlecome back, KTH! :hi:

[keepthemhonest]

31. Hey there girl!

i just said Hi to you Down a few posts!How's the KOEB been doing.

[Miami Liberal]

28. Bwwaaahaahha Sharon

Thanks for putting the KO Snarkman pic in the OP. I made it yesterday, isn't it hilarious? Well, gotta run. I'm tutoring the next door neighbor's kid.

Have fun ladies and gents.

Red tie and black suit, yummy!

For KO :loveya: :loveya: :loveya: :loveya: :loveya: :loveya:

[Nothing Without Hope]

36. It was Miami Liberal that came up with the KO-customized Super Suit

Ain't it great???

Someone else came up with the initial photo without the tie, but ML added that crowning touch. Which reminds me:

To the Ties That Bind!!!

:toast:
And good evening everybody!

[SharonRB]

42. Yeah, I saw the original one, too, but

thought the one with the tie was even more appropriate!

[Sydnie]

3. Hey Sharon!

I made it tonight... imagine that!

Missed you all and Keef too! :loveya:

[SharonRB]

7. Hi, Sydnie

Haven't seen you in a while. I wasn't here last night and won't be tomorrow, so I didn't want to miss tonight.
:hi:

[Sydnie]

12. I rarely get the tv when when Idol is on so

I have worked late this week... but I got the tv tonight.

I have missed all of you so much!

[SharonRB]

22. I haven't been watching Idol, but

I'll start when they get down to the 12 finalists. Don't know what I'll do about KO then. I may have to tape one of them.

[Patsy Stone]

96. Only because it doesn't start until 9 p.m. :)

How are you, syd? Nice to see you. :hi:

[SharonRB]

109. If it starts at 9, not 8, I'll be okay

I couldn't remember what time it started last year.

[Patsy Stone]

130. Tonight, it's at 9

I think the regular time is 8 on Tuesdays and 9 on Weds for the results shows. But next week, I think, is the same as this week. M/T @ 8 and Weds at 9. I think Nadia's gonna kick some ass!

[Sydnie]

137. That's how I got the tv tonight huh? LOL

[SharonRB]

148. Oh, well, I'll be watching WW and I'm already taping

a movie at 9, so I can't even tape it. I'm going to have some serious scheduling problems when it actually gets started. I haven't seen any of it so far.

[WhirlyGirl]

232. Is that Antonio?

He and Melanie are such an attractive couple -- and she's one of my favorite actresses. Just saw "Pacific Heights" last week finally, and she was good and WAS IT EVER SCARY!! :scared:

[Patsy Stone]

237. I like Antonio, but no, it's not him.

It's Simon Cowell, one of the judges on American Idol.
http://www.idolonfox.com/showinfo/

Hi, WG!

[WhirlyGirl]

251. Ooops! senior moment, there..

Of course it's Simon. Don't know where my brain was (estrogen generated from watching KO morphed Simon into ANTONIO?-- doesn't he WISH!!!)

--------
<< It's Simon Cowell >> Patsy

[bunny planet]

4. OK, now that's funny.

[SharonRB]

9. Hi, Bunny

I thought I saw you were there last night, but maybe not.
:hi:

[bunny planet]

82. where? I think I was too.

Hi back atcha!:hi:

[RevCheesehead]

5. I love the pic, but I HATE those glasses!

Hi, Sharon! Thanks for getting us started tonight, in good form!

For the suit and tie: :loveya:

[Sydnie]

8. The new glasses are better!

I heard the rerun of his visit to Al Franken again today. It was so good the hear his voice since I have missed the last two nights.

[SharonRB]

13. I heard most of Franken today, but

I guess I missed KO. I heard him when he was actually on, though.

[Shopaholic]

176. Keith has got the best damn radio voice

very sexy on the radio--even without the visual of his fine self!

[keepthemhonest]

23. definately

like the new glasses much better.

[SharonRB]

10. Hey, Rev

:hi:

[RevCheesehead]

16. Hi, neighbor!

How's life on the other side of the pond? :)

[SharonRB]

25. Just honky dory

I'll be happy when winter is over. How's it been on that side of ol' Lake MI?

[RevCheesehead]

38. It's snowing - again.

but I don't think we'll get much.

I'm sick of the snow-thrower. It stinks.

[SharonRB]

50. I hear ya

I'm just glad that all winter the snow has melted in between storms -- and we've had about 5 of them, I think.

[Patsy Stone]

83. Could you send some down here please?

It would be a nice change of pace. :)

[SharonRB]

89. Believe me, I'd love to switch with you.

You send some sunshine and warmth and I'll be happy to send you the snow. My daughter moved to Orlando in December from D.C. and I know she's been loving the weather this winter.

[Patsy Stone]

159. Come on down!

It's bee-yoo-ti-ful! :) Am sending sunshine thoughts to you. Stay warm... :scared:

[RevCheesehead]

91. wouldn't that be a bit like hell freezing over?

:hi: Hi, girl! Wondered when you'd get here.

[Patsy Stone]

165. Hell already froze over!

January 19, 1977: Snow in Miami, Miami Beach, and Homestead, FL.

You should have seen the size of the headline on The Miami Herald!

I had to go fetch hubby: car is not well. I was about 15 minutes late, and then the computer gave me some trouble. Sometimes I think computers should come with a "special place" to kick. :)

[Clark2008]

104. Snow? What's that?

:shrug:

(For the record, it snowed once this year, but didn't stick).

[keepthemhonest]

27. Hey RevCheesehead

What's happening?:hi:

[RevCheesehead]

53. Hi, KTH!

not much, you?

[troubleinwinter]

55. Aint been around KOEB threads for a few days...

But I WILL tell ya that husband said the other night, "I can't watch news at all anymore, except Keith Olbermann." I reckon I married good, even if it took me 35 years to realize it.

Rev, the point of the glasses, I think, is to be able to pull them off in the heat of passion.

[SharonRB]

59. My husband is actually the one who got me started watching KO n/t

[RevCheesehead]

63. RIGHT YOU ARE!!!!

And if they're ugly, you don't care where they land!!! :evilgrin:

[WhirlyGirl]

235. But the cleft in the chin really works when you're a super-hero...

... as Keith is to us!

Oooooooooooh, KEEEEEEEEEEEeeeeeeeeeeeeith!! (so lovely to say his name on a sigh...)

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

<< I love the pic, but I HATE those glasses! >> RevChe(revolutionary moniker)

[RevCheesehead]

255. Yeah, but in "Me, Myself, and Irene" the kids told Jim Carrey

"look at that - Daddy's got a big ol' buttcheek on his chin!"

Why is that cleft not so visible today? I'm just sayin'.

[WhirlyGirl]

256. LOL! While I'm imagining other cleft-chinned guys like Cary Grant...

... and Kirk Douglas, you're thinking of --- buttcheeks??? ROTFL!!

[WhirlyGirl]

6. SuperKeith!! Hi, Sharon! Hi, KOEB!!

Perky Girl is going to tell us all about handshakes tonight.

Who wants to test her theories out on Keith?

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

[RevCheesehead]

11. Hmm... the art of shaking hands.

Now at church, I usually give hugs instead of handshakes.

[SharonRB]

15. Hi, Whirlygirl

:hi:

[Clark2008]

24. Handshakes? I think I could find something more productive to do

with my hands if Keith were in the room (and willing - I'm not a "masher." :D )

[RevCheesehead]

57. LMAO!

no kidding! (I like the way you think!)

[Clark2008]

64. I, admit, though, I haven't thought of the term "masher" since

I was a teenager watching old "Dragnet" reruns!

:crazy:

[keepthemhonest]

39. Hey Whirlygirl

You are right .She just wants an excuse to touch him,but of course.

[WhirlyGirl]

227. And did you notice...

... how they both lost their composure immediately after -- again? He couldn't even formulate words for a few seconds; the most articulate newscaster on the air and his tongue was hopelessly wound around his eyeteeth!

Ohhh Perky.... I don't know what you've got, but if you could bottle it you'd make millions!! :thumbsup:

(See, Keith, we halfling women pack a wallop!)

<< You are right. She just wants an excuse to touch him, but of course. >> K-T-H (oh, I just got it -- BOY, am I slow -- it's an acronym for KEITH!! -Whirly)

[keepthemhonest]

257. Hey Whirly girl I never noticed that

my freudian slip is showing

[WhirlyGirl]

267. It wasn't intentional??

Oh wow, that's even COOLER, for being an expression of total KTH-consciousness!

Keep -- YOU'VE REACHED NIRVANA!!

:loveya:

[Clark2008]

51. Hi Whirlygirl!

:hi:

(This is for tonight and for, somehow, missing you last night!) :)

[WhirlyGirl]

228. Hi, Clark!

:hi:

[seito]

14. Hi everyone

:hi:

[SharonRB]

17. Hi, Seito

:hi:

[seito]

95. Hi Sharon

Thanks for calling the party :bounce:

[SharonRB]

114. My pleasure -- I missed you all last night

[RevCheesehead]

20. Hi, Warrior Princess!

:hi:

[seito]

97. Hello my cheesy friend

Nice to see ya :hi:

[bleever]

68. Hiya seito. How's the WP tonight?

I think you were due for a good day today.

:hi:

[RevCheesehead]

87. Hi, Bleever. Are you the substitute barkeep tonight?

I thought of you when I saw a case of Old Style in the store today! :)

[bleever]

167. Pouring you a Guiness here, cheese.

:beer:

And how sweet that you think of me when you see cheap beer.

Hey, what are those things we're supposed to find hidden on the Old Style labels? I used to know important stuff like that.

:hi:

[RevCheesehead]

175. But I have a lot of fond memories of that stuff.

Teenage throws of passion, stale beer smell, puking on Main St and flipping off a police cruiser....

I saw some Blatz today! I didn't know they still made it!

I don't know about the label thing. We drank to get drunk.

[bleever]

180. Okay, cheese, here you go, the ultimate proof of my midwesternness:

"Good Old Blatz is Best"

(But Old Milwaukee had the biggest bubbles!)

:)

[RevCheesehead]

186. Oh Bleever - come home!

My dad used Old Milwaukee to boil the brats in (how's that for a good 'Sconsin sentence syntax?)! :evilgrin:

Do you ever get back to these parts to visit? We should meet Class Warrior in Milwaukee, and do the Miller Beer Tour.

[bleever]

194. Haven't been back in ages. Must return to see the new strip malls

and housing developments where there used to be farms.

And boy, if I had a chance, beer, brats and * bashin' with cheese and CW would rate up there with a trip to Cancun.

:)

[RevCheesehead]

199. can't we do both?

Maybe you'd enjoy the peaceful tranquility of Algoma. We have one hell of a good time during Shanty Days (first weekend in August). And, of course, there's a Beer Tent. :toast:

[bleever]

202. I've got some googling to do to catch up. Sounds like it might

even compare with the Verona Sesquicentennial I attended as a youth.

:)

[Patsy Stone]

182. May I please have a martini?

Seein' as you're picking up sparky's slack? It's dinner time now, but I think martinis go with Mexican. Hell, I think they go with everything. :hi:

[bleever]

192. Lime with that? Or chilled, neat? Shoot, if you wrote it down for me

I'd be faster.

:hi:

[Patsy Stone]

205. You're not the first to mention that...

But you are the most recent. :)

Dear Bartender,
A well-chilled, Grey Goose martini,
Very dry, with a lemon twist,
NOT in a martini glass,
Straight up.

Please. :toast:


ed: because I like italics.

[seito]

92. I decided to not let it get to me

Of course I have to remind myself of that decision on a regular basis. It seems I suffer from short term memory loss :eyes: That is why I have to post in the "I Believe" thread every 2-3 days. I appreciate all the support from the KOEB :grouphug:

It is nice to see ya bleev. :hi:

[bleever]

160. I suggest daily believing. And consider this a strong endorsement

of not letting it get to you, since (really) it can't ever even touch what you really are.

:pals:

[seito]

170. Thanks Dr Bleev

I will follow that prescription. :pals:

[Clark2008]

18. Evenin' all!

This is so sad - I come in late to all the destruction of 9/11. :(

But, here are some floaties for Keithie! :loveya: :loveya:

Crispini said to tell you all, :hi: She's got a meeting tonight and won't be here for a bit.

[Sydnie]

21. That is so sad for the families not to ever get that closure

of even a bit of a body to bury.

Damn Bush! I still think he LIHOP!

[WhirlyGirl]

29. Such a somber show opening today...

... and the second story is just as sad.

[RevCheesehead]

30. goddammit! I HATE, HATE, HATE all this death!!!

I swear, there's a special spot in hell for BushCO. :grr:

[seito]

41. Of that, there is no doubt.

I hope they all find their own special place in hell, while they are still here on Earth.:grr:

[bleever]

178. They're building the new addition as we speak, cheese.

They weren't fully prepared for this level of depravity, but right now the place is surrounded by pickup trucks and portapotties as they scramble to accommodate.

[RevCheesehead]

187. LOL!

portapotties belong in hell!

[SharonRB]

32. As I read last night's thread at work today to

catch up, I noticed how much less and less the show is actually even mentioned. The thread has started to get way off subject as time has gone on. Just an observation.

:-)

[Catchawave]

56. I think we need a KO Group?

But not give up the KOEB, :loveya: a DU tradition now.

I do have withdrawl on weekends, and some days when we can post and discuss great stuff from his website??? ALL DAY :loveya:

We still need our nightly floatie hearts....and lovely beverages!

[SharonRB]

66. I wish they'd give me my star already

so I can even use the groups. I mailed a check a week ago. I PM'ed Skinner today to find out if they got my check. I thought for sure by now I'd have it. Haven't heard back from him yet.

[Catchawave]

75. LQQK - I see a *star* Sharon.....

Congratulations!

[SharonRB]

84. OMG

Where did that come from? Has it been here all night? I didn't even notice it. I checked for a message from Skinner and when I didn't have one, I figured I was still waiting.

Edit: I feel like such an idiot!
:dunce:

[RevCheesehead]

99. uh - maybe Skinner's reading the KOEB?

just a thought. either that, or karma.

[SharonRB]

116. I wondered about that.

Would it show up in posts that were posted before he added it? I swear it wasn't there when I started the thread, but it is now.

[RevCheesehead]

145. It wasn't there before.

It takes Skinner a while to get to the mail, and to the PM's. Best way to contact him is through ATA.

[Shopaholic]

181. And we know that GrovelBot kept showing up all last week to

visit the KOEB. I miss GrovelBot by the way.

[RevCheesehead]

188. Grovelbot is on vacation.

I think he's going to see Patsy.

[Patsy Stone]

190. Aerobed at the ready for Grovelbot...

He's gonna hit me up for more cash while he's here though, I can feel it. :)

[Patsy Stone]

146. Well, on his thank you post for the donations...

He did use floaty hearts -- we may be rubbing off on him. :)

For Skinner! :loveya:

[WhirlyGirl]

230. Congratulations, Sharon, you can appear on a...

... Superbowl Halftime Show now (if you position it correctly)!!! LOL!

[keepthemhonest]

107. Hey i see a start

am i just seeing things.Congrats!

[SharonRB]

121. Thanks, KTH!

[Nothing Without Hope]

193. I suggested a DU Group in yesterday's thread - there were no big NO's

I think it's a good idea:

1. We can concentrate more on the show during the live-blog time. This would both increase the information content for those of us without cable and also reduce the number of posts, which is what Skinner says is the major slow-down factor for big threads.

2. We can post at other times without dealing with a long thread or a thread that is hard to find. It would be started in our Group Forum, presumbly within the 2004 Elections Forum, so we could check there whenever we wanted and find each other.

3. We can start threads that are not so directly related to only the topics raised on KO's show but are important to us, or expand on subjects that he touches on in one or two shows but are not mentioned otherwise. After all, much of his show is on topics that don't need discussion -- but some of them do beyond the time given on his show.

4. Our live-blog thread could be more accessible and probably shorter (and easier/faster to load as a result), so might be less intimidating for people who would like to join us but get lost in the long thread and many inside jokes.

I think we should do it. By the rules, we would need 10 donating members to request a new group plus a mission statement that would pass muster. I think we would also want to ask permission from representative(s) of the Election 2004 Forum, like UnderstandingLife.

What do you think?

[Catchawave]

201. YES, of course :)

For all the reasons you stated. These are very long threads with lots of topics.

[Patsy Stone]

209. That's a great idea. I wanted to respond last night.

Hi, Hope. :hi:

I'd like to be able to post during the day and not have it kick the thread -- I always feel guilty about that. Also, with the amount of posts on these threads, we're taking over the spaces if you sort by post count. :)

:loveya: KO

[Catchawave]

213. We can work on Quiz questions

and other fun stuff.

Let me know where to sign up :)

[Nothing Without Hope]

240. That would be fun - and we can take OT discussion there too

Patsy is going to start up a New Group brainstorming thread including the relevant posts in this one, then we can talk about it tomorrow. Whatever happens, we would want to keep the main weeknight KOEB thread where it is.

For now, good night and heavenly dreams!
O8) :boring: O8)

[Nothing Without Hope]

218. Hello Patsy! So let's do the following tomorrow night

Let's have a post near the beginning of tomorrow night's KOEB thread about starting a new Group -- we need 10 donating members and a mission statement. Maybe several of us can come up with draft mission statements and suggest them then. That way we can amalgamate the most important parts into a Grand Unified KOEB Mission Statement (up to now we've gotten by fine with just our official toast!).

If UnderstandingLife drops by, we can ask his opinion about the formation of this new Group in the Elections 2004 forum; if he doesn't, we can PM him about it. If anyone else can think of someone else we should ask, they can mention them.

We may be able to get our 10 donating members right there in the thread, responding to the initial suggestion. If not, we may need to do it again to collect additional supporters.

How does this sound? I'm afraid relatively few KOEBers may see it here, so we may need to PM some people tomorrow before the Meeting.

[Patsy Stone]

221. That's good. I'll start putting together some ideas.

I suggest a brainstorming session. Let's set up a thread in the Media Forum (they discuss KO over there sometimes) and send the link via PM to the regulars. We can work on a mission statement over there and we don't have to keep kicking this thread. Whaddya think? I can do it now, if you'd like, and I'll post it here also.

[Nothing Without Hope]

234. Sounds good. Crispini raised important points in her post

I checked, and she's right -- only members with the star can post in Groups. I don't recall if any KOEB regulars or irregulars lack the star, but that could be a serious block if they do. We don't want the Group to be too exclusive.

Also Group postings DO NOT appear on the Latest page. So they are in a sense invisible unless you know where to look and remember to look there.

These are both excellent reasons why the main KOEB weeknight thread needs to stay where it is, where it is NOT exclusive and IS visible. The Group, if we form it, can be anywhere. Crispini thinks it very unlikely that Skinner would allow it to be formed within the ER-2004 forum. The Media Forum seems reasonable to me. We could put the location of the Group in the OP of each KOEB liveblog thread.

If you start the new brainstorming thread in Media, would you please cut-and-paste these relevant posts so they don't need to be repeated?

Thanks and good night!
:hi:

[Patsy Stone]

236. Yep

I checked and there are a few without stars. The Group would definitely be in with the other Groups, and not here, but the nightly thread should still be here. Posting the Group's address in the OP everynight would tell people where to find us. I'll cut and paste the posts in the new thread and put it in tomorrow's thread.

G'night!

[Nothing Without Hope]

238. Thanks for everything - and good night! n/t

[AmyJCNJ]

242. Count me in

I'm not around much during the show and would love to participate more at other times.

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

[Nothing Without Hope]

246. That would be lovely. It's hard to do with such long, unwieldy threads

And since you already have your donor star, there would be no problem with your posting in a Group. We would still want to keep the weeknightly KOEB liveblog thread. The hope would be that it would be a bit shorter and a bit more on-topic, and perhaps less intimidating to anyone else who wanted to join us.

Meanwhile, we'd be free to have OT group discussions, expand on points brought up by KO and needing more discussion, so many things. One key here in the KOEB is building a community. I think having the Group to complement the main thread would help toward that goal.

Good night!
:hi:

[demjuli]

259. Hello KOEB, can anyone join your group?

I'm not usually able to post while Countdown is on, but would love to participate in a group.

I believe I read that the posting of floatie hearts was obligatory here so: :loveya: :loveya: :loveya: :loveya: for the KOEB!

[SharonRB]

260. Anyone can join in

at 8 pm ET every week night during KO's show. The more, the merrier. Some of us stay on way after the show (not me, generally) and some stay up for the rerun at midnight.

Welcome!

As you can see from last night's posts, we're talking about starting an official DU group also.

[Nothing Without Hope]

263. Hello demjuli and welcome to both DU and the KOEB!!

Yes, absolutely, any one can join us, regardless of estrogen level. After all, it's not as though there's a shortage in the vicinity of the KOEB! Once we form the Group, posting in it -- by DU rules -- will require a Donating DU Member star, which you already have, so no problem. The main KOEB thread will not be in a Group and so will not require the star for posting. We feel this nonexclusivity is important. The idea, after all, is to build a community.

If you've read the other posts in this thread, you know that we'll be discussing the Group formation later today. Patsy Stone is going to start a Group brainstorming thread, which will be linked to and perhaps discussed a bit at tonight's regular KOEB liveblogging thread. Once the Group is formed, a link to its location will be posted in the OP of each night's main thread. That will be important, since another quirk of Groups is that new threads do not appear on the Latest page and so would be hard to find.

You posted those :loveya:s like a pro -- I can see you're a natural! We figure the world can use lots more of them, so after the KOEB meeting whoever's sweeping up just opens the doors and windows and lets them out.

To the Ties That Bind!!! (That's our official KOEB toast!)
:toast:

[demjuli]

264. Thanks SharonRB and Nothing Without Hope

for the information and the friendly welcomes.

I heard that KOEB is the place where the nicest people on DU hang out--now I can see that it's true! :hi:

To the Ties That Bind!

[gkhouston]

270. actually, it's also where some of the naughtiest people in DU hang out

but most of us consider that a bonus.

[crispini]

212. The only comment I have is that

I'm 99% sure that Skinner would not allow a Group to be started inside ER:2004. None of the other Groups (which are forums for paying members only) are inside Forums (which can also be posted in by non-paying members). I would think that the software might not even be able to DO this. So the group would have to be with all of the other groups, therefore, less easy to find.... But, the other points sound good. Um, do we have any non-star regulars that would be left out by our move to the group?

[RevCheesehead]

216. Hi, Crispini. Missed ya tonite.

:hi:

Actually, I think nearly everyone has a star. If not, we could throw a donation their way.

(Speaking of which, I have NOT forgotten you! I have been totally swamped for the last month. But I'll get to ya soon, OK? "Blessed Be"!)

[crispini]

219. Hi Rev!

How are you? I'm just hangin' out waiting for the rerun. Don't worry, just hit me whenever. Did some good work in our election reform group tonight! :)

[Nothing Without Hope]

231. Hello Crispini! Those are points we need to consider.

I would hope that the main KOEB weeknight thread would be largely unchanged, except perhaps perhaps a bit shortened and maybe a bit more focussed on what Keith says.

You are right about needing a star to post in Groups--I just checked. The posts also do not appear on the Latest Page, so those are two more reasons why the main KOEB thread CANNOT be posted within the Group area. We would be far too exclusive (only donating members) and we would be invisible (not appearing on Latest page).

It wouldn't matter so very much where the Group was, as long as the main thread stayed in ER-2004 and we all KNOW where the Group is. We could post its location as part of each OP, for that matter.

The issue of whether there are KOEBers who would LIKE to post in the Group threads but have no star is also important. We'll have to find out. I know that several KOEB regulars donated in the recent campaign, and others may be planning to donate in the near future.

[RevCheesehead]

69. and your point is? n/t

[SharonRB]

98. No point, really, just an observation n/t

[RevCheesehead]

113. heh.

;-) :thumbsup:

[WhirlyGirl]

253. I don't think what we're doing here is TRIVIAL...

A lot of good things get said here, in among all the swooning and kvelling over KO.

We're affirming those human qualities which are important -- in KO and in EACH OTHER -- while giving ourselves a chance to bond with like-minded people and generate a few endorphins to lighten our cares in these awful times. :grouphug:

I like the way the thread is allowed just to go wherever it goes and would miss the freedom, if this turned into a more "directed" discussion.

IMO we need a BREAK from all the heaviness and fear which now surrounds us.

"COUNTDOWN" is SERIOUS NEWS WRAPPED IN A HAPPINESS PILL -- and the KOEB just naturally reflects that!!
Please -- let's not change it.

<< As I read last night's thread at work today to catch up, I noticed how much less and less the show is actually even mentioned. The thread has started to get way off subject as time has gone on. Just an observation. >> Sharon

[SharonRB]

261. WhirlyGirl -- I don't know if you'll even see this,

as I'm posting on Thursday, but I wasn't trying to suggest that we change it and try to redirect it. It was just a pure commentary that I've noticed how after time it's changed. As we get more and more people joining the thread, it changes bit by bit. Not a complaint at all. I think it's fine as it is. A little bit of fun for an hour or so every night with like-minded people is great! I hope that as summer approaches and we have other distractions we can keep it up fairly regularly.

[WhirlyGirl]

269. THANKS, Sharon! I saw it, and I agree....

... The cirle keeps growing, and new people joining ensure it will keep being full of nice surprises!

P.S. I'll be here for the summer floaties, too!

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

:loveya: :hi: :loveya:

[Botany]

35. Dress for the KOEB

I had to be in court today ......... (no kidding) ........
I thought what would an EDV like?
Dark Blue Sport Coat....

Same outfit tomorrow

Sparky get the Gang a round on me ...........
I will pay my tab real soon

:bounce:

[Clark2008]

43. Heh! When are you gonna buy us all a real round?

;)

:hi: Botany!

[Sydnie]

49. Hi Botany

What did you go to court for?

[Patsy Stone]

70. Sounds nice, Botany.

And you know what the mention of suspenders does around here. Was the court date about that restraining order? :evilgrin:

:hi:

[cry baby]

128. OMG, it sounds like you really looked good!!! Steph would be proud

:hi: :loveya: :loveya: :loveya:

[RevCheesehead]

138. hmmm....suspenders.....(aaaurghhhh)

[Nothing Without Hope]

163. Wow, you are really loaded for bear -- or for Stephanie!

Those suspenders should take you far! Glad we influenced you that far -- you can thank us when Steph knocks on your door.

Hi Botany!
:hi:

[bleever]

173. No sparky, so I'm pourin'. Service might be a little slow, though,

what with a Workers Compensation audit scheduled during peak happy hour times.

I'll do my best, in lieu of the multi-talented and charismatic sparky.

:hi:

[Clark2008]

37. Too bad that "S" hasn't been photoshopped to be a "KO" or a "K"

LOL!

That's one funny picture!



(I like this one better!)

[SharonRB]

45. Hmmmm...good idea

Maybe we can do something about that.

[RevCheesehead]

46. oh, no - the S is for "Snark." n/t

[Nothing Without Hope]

47. Suit with a big "K" would be cute, but he IS SUPER after all

Super-reporter
Super-truthspeaker
Super-courageous (because of the above)
Super-snarky
and so many other things...I'm sure you all can make your own lists

In fact, the "S" could also stand for "SNARK"!

[keepthemhonest]

79. that one sums it all up nicely.

Yum( I think he is saying.)

40. Where's the outrage from the Pro-Life people

for Terry Schiavo ????

[Patsy Stone]

171. They are about as outraged as they are

when they support the death penalty with a straight face.

[RevCheesehead]

44. Terri Schiavo's parents really have to let go.

Removing a feeding tube is emotionally hard, but really - it's time to just let her go. Of course, it may be too late (how long did Karen Ann Quinlan survive after her tube was removed? years?)

[Patsy Stone]

60. Everytime I hear about this story

I hate Jeb Bush more and more. It's getting difficult to contain it all. The family needs to let go and the State needs to stay out of it. My .02.

Hey, Rev! :hi:

[Clark2008]

67. Hi Patsy!

:hi:

How'r you tonight?

[Patsy Stone]

78. Running late, but I'm here

Firewalking festival in Thailand? Did he just mention Bactine? :)

Hiya, Clark! :hi:

Hey, he just called him "President". Noooooo! Go back to Mr., please.

[Catchawave]

120. Isn't there a better way than starving her to death? n/t

[Patsy Stone]

157. Sure there is: euthanasia. n/t

[Catchawave]

214. I wish. We are more humane for our pets :( n/t

[yvr girl]

62. Hi all

Karen Ann Quinlan survived for years - I think 10 or more.

I wouldn't want to live like that. Not dead, but not really alive.

What a cheery first post for this thread from me.

[keepthemhonest]

72. Hey Rev

What's with the little gay avatar anyway.That picture gives sponge bob away. LOL

[RevCheesehead]

149. It's my way of being affirming...

...since I'm not permitted to perform any wedding or blessing ceremony. But perhaps now I'm going to have to switch to the Barkeeper from Shrek. (the latest target)

Where is our barkeep, anyways?

[keepthemhonest]

258. i don't know where

our barkeep could be, but he'll have to make up for itwhen he returns. I love Sponge bob.

[SharonRB]

262. Isn't it a little early in the a.m.

to be looking for a drink?

[keepthemhonest]

266. Oh the beer I had for breakfast was good,so i'll have

another for dessert.LOL You caught me Sharon it's morning and I am at work.

[SharonRB]

125. They need to start thinking about what SHE would want

and I'm sure she doesn't want to stay in the state she's been in any longer. I just can't believe she'd want to be kept alive.

[keepthemhonest]

48. where are all the men folk?

Now it's a hen party with no men.






Edited to add Botany just showed up while I was writing this one.Hey Botany. We gots ourselves a man.

[Clark2008]

54. Botany's here!

But, of course, his heart belongs to Stephanie! ;)

[keepthemhonest]

61. Yes

Tis true, but maybe we can change his mind

[RevCheesehead]

158. And Bleever did a drive-by upthread.

[bleever]

191. Sorry (pouring feverishly, ripping bodices with left hand, and

complying with Workers' Comp audit simultaneously).

Shoot, where's the damn potpourri??

[RevCheesehead]

196. Relax and have a drink...my treat.

We're out of potpourri - but I bought an Airwick for the ladies room.

what's with the Worker's Comp? Is that a real-life headache for you, or are you just worried we'll get audited?

[bleever]

200. Airwick!! LOL.

And the Workers' Comp is a real life headache, but also translates nicely into a cyberexcuse when you're running a cyberbar.

Airwick! You're killing me here!

:)

[RevCheesehead]

204. Oh, I get it - you're a Renuzit kind of guy.

Or do you just open the window? :evilgrin:

Terry Schiavo's parents and husband square off in court today over
whether he is fit to be her guardian. Two courts ruling within an hour

73. Cab driver hit two of the gates. LOL!

Not scheduled to come down until Saturday, and then probably by angry villagers carrying torches! :)

And the little mini gates in the guy's house is too funny.

[SharonRB]

80. Those mini gates are hysterical

Some people have way too much time on their hands.

[Patsy Stone]

86. Were they from the kitchen to the litter box?

I heard the litter box part, and saw the little line of them, but where did the guy run them to and from?

[Sydnie]

90. From the livingroom, to the litter box, to the fridge and down the stairs

LOL gotta :loveya: it!

edit sp

[Patsy Stone]

103. Hysterical! LOL. n/t

[WhirlyGirl]

245. Little "saffron" dominoes, lined up so they tumble against each other...

... in succession, could be the next stunt.

This will probably occur in Japan -- I think they're the ones with the domino tumble competitions!

We will do damn near anything to entertain ourselves on those long, cold nights. (And I have lived in Somerville, believe me, for someone there, that WAS excitement!)

they take down "The Gates," aren't we? LOL!

[bunny planet]

77. Rats, I can't watch again.

The Hubster just walked in from a business trip and I have to schmooze. I don't think 'Hi Honey, I have to go drool over Keef, see you later' will fly very well. I'll catch up later.

[Clark2008]

See ya later, Bunny!

122. Shrub : "Everything I ever needed to know I learned from Homer Simpson"

Hi Patsy :hi:

[Patsy Stone]

124. Don't you dare dis Homer like that!

LOL. :hi:, seito. Having a better day?

[seito]

134. LOL "It's nuuu cuuu ler"

:hi: Patsy, I decided not to let stuff get to me...it has done wonders. I have to remind myself of this from time to time. Thanks for askin :)

[Patsy Stone]

177. Let it slide -- you're right, that's the trick. :)

Good for you! :grouphug:

[RevCheesehead]

172. Yeah - he said Mooooooo-lahs, too.

And I'm from Wisconsin - I ought to know! :)

[Blue_In_AK]

179. I nearly choked when I heard that...

MOO-lahs, indeed. Like they're multiple money or something. "Let's take over Iran and get all the MOO-lah." Jesus, what an embarrassment he is.

[Clark2008]

101. OMG!!! Shrub just pronounced Iran correctly!!

I think I'm gonna faint!

And, now, Iraq!!!

:wow:

[Sydnie]

106. It was a mistake! LOL He didn't mean it

and hey, George is wearing a black dress coat... couldn't find his hunting jacket?

[seito]

110. Spew

Now I have to wipe off the monitor. Thanks Sydnie :hi:

[Clark2008]

117. I think he loaned that to Dick for the next state funeral.

:D

[seito]

108. You mean it is not pronounced the same as I ran

:eyes:

[Patsy Stone]

118. Axis of Evil!

Always sounds like you need the Justice League of America to come in and clean it up. Robin Wright from WaPo: I like her.

Of course they want to go into Iran. Who the hell is this guy kidding with the idea that the US's attack on Iran is "ridiculous". And, thanks to KO for asking just that question: Didn't the adminstration say the same thing 3 years ago when he said he wasn't going into Iraq.

:loveya::loveya:

[Clark2008]

131. Erm, Patsy, what is Batman doing to Aquaman

We'd better watch it or Dodsen's gonna start accusing The Super Friends of being more than just "friends."

;)

[Patsy Stone]

144. LOL. It looks like Aquaman is kicking Batman to me.

And, we already KNOW all the best cartoon characters are gay. :)

[Clark2008]

156. Um, yeah!

[roguevalley]

129. funniest thing. My masseuse today told me that when she was a

young thing, she worked in Hoboken for the United Press International. I asked her if she had ever met Helen Thomas and she said no, she had met others. She then said there was a youngster there they called "The Boy Wonder", who was a sportscaster. She asked me if I had ever heard of a guy named Keith Olbermann. Had I ever heard of him. SIGH! I told her about him and she was tickled pink that he was doing so well, such was his promise in 1979 or so. They had a birthday party for her at the office and he was there with the rest of the group and she has a picture of him. Said he was a tall skinny kid with a lotta talent.

Who knew? :evilgrin:

[Clark2008]

136. The Boy Wonder!

LMAO!
This thread definately has a Super Friends theme going on tonight!

[Shopaholic]

143. Thanks for posting that story--that's such a great story

Boy would I love to see that photo!

[Sydnie]

155. What a great story!

Thanks for sharing it! :loveya: for OUR BoyWonder!

[bettyellen]

220. there was a upi in hoboken? wow, do you know when?

[SharonRB]

133. But he still can't pronounce nucular

[WhirlyGirl]

247. My favorite line from jibjab's "This Land"....

"You can't say NOOOOO-clear....
That really scaaaaaares me!" :scared:

-----------
<< But he still can't pronounce nucular >> Sharon

[Nothing Without Hope]

198. Blivet** correctly pronouncing IRAN is very scary

I'm betting it means he's been in lots of top-secret meetings where Iran invasion has been discussed and planned. Even the blivet** can learn to pronounce something correctly if he hears it enough, but it takes hearing it a LOT.

[SharonRB]

105. "We had our Hitler, now you have yours"

Wow, those Germans certainly don't mince words, do they?

[Sydnie]

111. Great sign! n/t

[Clark2008]

112. I wish someone here would say that without being bashed over the

head by the "librul" media.

Of course, he's not so much like Hitler as Mussolini, but you get the point. ;)

[RevCheesehead]

184. Yup - we get right to the point.

But the polite ones learn to say nothin' at all.

[Greylyn58]

243. Don't you just love

that they can be so honest in Europe.

Unlike what goes on here.!!!

[AmyJCNJ]

254. Keith is stealing my material!

I posted something about the protesters in Germany earlier...

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=103&topic_id=108431&mesg_id=108431

I feel like I'm being watched.

[Clark2008]

115. Wasn't there a thread on DU somewhere about Hailliburton

trading with Iran?

I mean, speaking of it being illegal to deal with Iran?

[Sydnie]

119. Yes they did and while Cheney was CEO as well!

They had a dummy corp set up (in the Caymans I think) and they did their trading from there.

[Greylyn58]

123. Howdy All

Time for the Hump Day version of the KOEB!!!

KO looks good. I love that striped suit. One of my favorites.

126. Hey yah Greylyn!

He does look yumma tonight doesn't he?

:loveya:

[SharonRB]

139. Be careful with your terminology on the KOEB, Geylyn

They might shut us down!

[Clark2008]

127. Was he just playing, "I'm on... top of the world... looking... down on

creation and the only explanation I can find... Is the love that I've found ever since you've been around... Your love put me on the top of the world..?


What is the name of that song?

Obligatory :loveya: 's for the KO music department!

[Patsy Stone]

132. Top of the World -- The Carpenters. n/t

[bleever]

197. "And the only explanation I can find..." n/t

[RevCheesehead]

206. Help! My brain won't rest until I get the rest of the lyrics!!!

"...is that since you're around, ____________________??? Your love put me on the top of the world."

Just for that: "It's A Small World After All" :P

[Patsy Stone]

207. Singing:

Such a feelin’s comin’ over me
There is wonder in most everything I see
Not a cloud in the sky
Got the sun in my eyes
And I won’t be surprised if it’s a dream

Everything I want the world to be
Is now coming true especially for me
And the reason is clear
It’s because you are here
You’re the nearest thing to heaven that I’ve seen

(*) I’m on the top of the world lookin’ down on creation
And the only explanation I can find
Is the love that I’ve found ever since you’ve been around
Your love’s put me at the top of the world

Something in the wind has learned my name
And it’s tellin’ me that things are not the same
In the leaves on the trees and the touch of the breeze
There’s a pleasin’ sense of happiness for me

There is only one wish on my mind
When this day is through I hope that I will find
That tomorrow will be just the same for you and me
All I need will be mine if you are here

(*) I’m on the top of the world lookin’ down on creation
And the only explanation I can find
Is the love that I’ve found ever since you’ve been around
Your love’s put me at the top of the world

[RevCheesehead]

208. You, my dear, are a sanity-saver.

I hereby remove the "It's a Small World" curse. Replace it with Beethoven's 9th (the Countdown Theme). O8)

[Patsy Stone]

211. Bump-bum, bump-bum, bump-bum...

"Out, damned It's a Small World! Out, I say! Back! Back to The (not so) Wonderful World of Disney!" :)

I gotta say, I like The Carpenters.

[RevCheesehead]

215. Me, too.

I bought their Christmas Album this year. I well up every time I hear "Merry Christmas, Darling."

I'm an alto, and always wished I could have that mellow sound Karen has on the low notes. God, I miss her voice!

[Patsy Stone]

217. It's a crowd pleaser, that Christmas Album.

I have their Greatest Hits. We used to sing that song in chorus as kids. Poor Karen. :(

[bettyellen]

222. did you ever see the barbie stop motion movie of karen's life?

they sued and had it taken out of circulation, it's supposed to be brilliant.
the director went on to...?

[Patsy Stone]

224. OMG -- I found it.

http://www.illegal-art.org/video/#superstar

Edited because I found a link to an mpeg (the Internets ROCK!)!!!!

[bettyellen]

225. holy animation,batman!! how did you do that?

two click and........
have you seen it before?

[Patsy Stone]

226. No, never

and Google is your friend. :)

I just typed in Barbie and Carpenter et voila. In fact, I haven't watched it yet. It's from this cool exhibit (click on the link) about the limits of copyright and intellectual property in art. It was a lucky find, but we win!

[bettyellen]

229. it's supposed be be amazing- i can't wait to watch it... thank you!

135. I had someone shake my hand so hard the other day

A bonecrusher! Exactly as this story said. I had a cut on my finger where the ring broke the skin. Who the hell crushes a woman's hand when they shake it?

[WhirlyGirl]

249. Bonecrushing handshakes...

Some people just don't know their own strength -- but I still always say something, such as "Oh dear... I'll never play the violin again!"

Used to make my living as an office temp. One guy thought he was being funny when he crushed my hand during introductions.
He stayed in at lunchtime, so I saw my oportunity. I told him off quietly but sternly -- and got an apology.
I'd just had an upholstery staple removed from that same hand!!
(Your nail-gun joke here: ________________ )

153. I heard about it on Ed Schultz on my way home

"The Gannon/Guckert" update of the day.

[SharonRB]

141. Oooh, we got a little Gannert after all!

[WhirlyGirl]

252. KO pronunciation: "GOOK-ert." LOL!

It's so easy to dis this guy!

The discussion re Gookert on Bill Mahr's season opener this week is hysterical, mainly on account of Robin Wms' free-associating. You might as well NOT have any other guests on because Williams can't sit on himself at all -- but he is so funny and keeps the host on the edge of his seat ALWAYS (tallying up the FCC fines as Williams continues turning the air BLUE! :-))

142. A jury on Day 464 of the MJ trial

Okay, as much as I enjoy a good celebrity trial, I don't wanna hear this testimony.

Jeff Gannon! Subpoena the journal and should testify in the outing of Plame? Does this guy only speak to E&P, btw?

[ClassWarrior]

147. Yeah, I look like that in spandex.

(Yeah... right...)

<LOL>

NGU.

[seito]

151. Now you have to share

:evilgrin:

Hi CW :hi:

[ClassWarrior]

183. What? You want me to Photoshop my face on Chris Reeve's body?

B-)

Hey WP... :hi:

NGU.

[seito]

185. Not EXACTLY what I had in mind

;)

Of course I would not know anything about what I really had in mind. O8)

[ClassWarrior]

195. Glad I could pique your imagination...

:evilgrin:

NGU.

150. Brideshead Revisited

I love Evelyn Waugh!!

He's just so, so, so... decadent! He's my version of smarmy romance novels. LOL!

[Patsy Stone]

152. Again, I say: Charles and Camilla

Who cares? No one's going... I like that KO said they would be handing out tickets to passers-by next.

Lord Chancellor said it was legal. And, btw, what the $%#@ is up with that moran in the WH banning Camilla because she's DIVORCED?

161. So does this mean that if Ronald Reagan were still alive

they wouldn't let him in the White House anymore?

[Patsy Stone]

168. Sooooo Stupid!

* tried to say that Americans would be pissed because we all still love Diana. Really, I have a much longer, more important list of things he's done to piss me off! :mad:

[SharonRB]

154. Have a good couple of days, everyone

I'm off to watch West Wing. See ya Friday.

[roguevalley]

162. shoot me if you want to but I sent an e-mail to Keith and told him

about his fan base here. Told him that DU'ers are dedicated listeners and maybe a shout out in his blog would be a nice pat on the head. :-D

I of course kept it all above and adult. I never ONCE mentioned his fineness.

:evilgrin:

RV, a viewer from way back of The Man.

[Sydnie]

169. That would just be the bomb!

Hehehehehehehehe :loveya:

[roguevalley]

174. I thought so. He's so iconoclastic he could just do it.

[RevCheesehead]

189. I dunno - I prefer a view from up close in back of The Man.

:evilgrin:

Why on earth did you keep it "all above and adult."??? Now he'll never want to meet us!

[roguevalley]

203. Actually ...

I lied. :evilgrin: I did mention his fineness. Couldn't help myself. :)

[Patsy Stone]

166. Bye, Sharon!

Always nice to have you here. I'll miss ya. :hi:

[crispini]

210. Hey ladies!

[bettyellen]

233. anybody here for the rerun? i miss y'all...i had the best massage ever

tonight .......

[WhirlyGirl]

250. I'm here for the re-run, bettyellen!

How are you, this fine LATE night? :hi:

Husband using system for work all evening again. He lets me jump in and say "Hi!" at 8:00, and then I have to give it back until he finishes -- which is usually around 10:30 or 11! :mad:

It's exasperating -- but we can afford high-speed on account of it, sooo.... :shrug:
