KOEB Meeting: 04/08/10 -- It's a Good START Edition

[Patsy Stone]

:hi:, kids!

RIP, Malcom McLaren -- and thanks! :toast:

[SharonRB]

1. Hi, Pats!

Half-governor Sarah Palin. I still laugh everytime I hear that.

[WolverineDG]

2. Still on the floor from watching Pat on Tweety

:rofl: Oh, good times, good times.

:hi:

dg

[SharonRB]

4. I missed that, but Nancy updated her status on FB

and said Pat thinks both sides were right in the Civil War. Gimme a break!

[WolverineDG]

11. OMG, he was reaching

for ANY reason for Virginia to secede, other than slavery. I was sitting there waiting for him to pull the Stamp Tax out of his ass, but the furthest he went back to was 1798 & the Alien & Sedition Acts. :eyes:

dg

[SharonRB]

14. Sorry I missed it.

[Patsy Stone]

16. The Stamp Tax.

:rofl:

:hi: He's a crazy old man who should not be on TV. Or at least he should stick to the McLaughlin Group.

[SeattleGirl]

5. Hi Wolvie! I missed it. What happened?

:hi:

[WolverineDG]

15. Pat's brain getting set on fire

see my answer to Sharon. :rofl:


:hi:

dg

[SeattleGirl]

17. Just did. Thanks!

[Botany]

18. pat and history .... not so much

He forgets about Jeff Davis having his capital in Richmond and Robert E Lee
and the army of N. VA.

[CBHagman]

99. Pat?

You mean this one?

[SeattleGirl]

3. Hi Patsy! Great title!

:hi:

[Patsy Stone]

23. Now with a new improved apostrophe!

:hi:, SG! My Marlins made it to .500 yesterday. I can die now.

[SeattleGirl]

25. My Mariners are starting off sucky. They won the 1st game,

and lost the next 3! For some reason, they've always had a difficult time winning when they play the A's in Oakland. x(

Glad you're boys are doing well!

[SharonRB]

29. We're 2-1

Tomorrow is the home opener, and winter is back just in time for it. After a gorgeous week or so, it's freezing again.

[Patsy Stone]

35. Oh, boooo.

Maybe I should become a Tigers fan. Is Jim Leyland back this year?

[SharonRB]

38. Yup. He's still here.

[SeattleGirl]

41. I like Jim.

He seems to be a pretty good guy, and not too bad of a manager either.

[SharonRB]

42. I like him, too

He kind of reminds me of Sparky Anderson. We like those older, silver-haired coaches around here.

[SeattleGirl]

48. We've got a real young one, Don Wakamatsu, but he did really

well last year (his rookie year as manager). And I do like the makeup of the team this year. I think they just need to rev the motor up a bit.

[SharonRB]

49. Hopefully it will get better as the season goes on

I'm so sorry the Tigers don't have any home games when you're in town.

[SeattleGirl]

52. Me too. That would have been a blast go to go a game.

I think I'll still go take a tour of the ballpark though. I love doing stuff like that.

[Patsy Stone]

55. I'd like him back, now please.

You've had him long enough. I do not like our coach. I was lovin' Joe Girardi until the front office made him go away. Where did he go? To the World Series. :mad:

[SeattleGirl]

57. So who do you have now, Patsy?

[Patsy Stone]

61. Fredi Gonzalez

It just feels like he doesn't really care all that much.

[SeattleGirl]

63. That's not good. I think when the coach doesn't care, it makes

it difficult for the team to care.

[SeattleGirl]

36. I'm gonna have send a message to my mom to send my boys

a not-so-heavenly kick in their collective behinds! She loved baseball, and loved the Mariners, but whenever they started on a downhill slide, she'd always say, "Look's like it time for me to give 'em a swift kick!" :rofl:

[Patsy Stone]

32. Oh, no...

Not well. The game was pathetic and the fact that they won was beside the point. :)

We can't beat the Phillies for love nor money.

[SeattleGirl]

40. I'm kind of bummed about it, but it's still VERY early, so I'm

not going to panic.....yet!

[Berry Cool]

64. Hey! The Indians won a game!

That's very promising!!!!

[SeattleGirl]

67. I remember the good years the Indians had.

Every time the Mariners had to play them, my heart would sink!

[ralps]

6. Hi Patsy! Hi Everyone! Oh Just shut the Frell up Sarah & Keith's right! Sarah's an

idiot!! :hi: :loveya: :hug: :pals: :woohoo:

[SeattleGirl]

8. Hi ralps! She most definitely is!

:hi:

[ralps]

30. Hi SeattleGirl!!

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

[Patsy Stone]

37. Yes

And thankfully, she's not our idiot. :hi:

[SharonRB]

7. So Sister Sarah went from biker chick to...

what? All those strands of pearls. I usually like that look, but not so much on her.

[SeattleGirl]

9. A few less strands of pearls would have been better, but then,

I don't think Sister Sarah is known for understatement!

[SharonRB]

12. Definitely not!

:hi:

[Patsy Stone]

13. Stepford Wife?

:hi:

[Botany]

10. 4/8/10 that women is an idiot party

:rofl:

My President went the capital of a former Communist Country and got the Russians to
agree to get rid of end of the world weapons.

[Patsy Stone]

20. When I woke up this morning

there was my President, being all presidential. It was a lovely way to start the day.

Reagan was strong, although he was for an end to all nukes. Obama is weak for wanting the same thing. Sure, go with that. :eyes:

[SharonRB]

22. Makes me crazy

[Botany]

31. He is my President too.

Ship all those f***ers to Gitmo ..... all they want is for the President
aka America to fail.

BTW I saw a stat from one of my Dad's books .... from Truman on the
party opposite of the sitting President voted w/ the president from
15 - 35 % of the time .... with Obama it is right about zero on any important
issue.

[Berry Cool]

78. Mr. Medvedev, tear down this nuke!"

[SharonRB]

19. Howie's hair is really getting long.

What's up with that?

[Patsy Stone]

24. Could you hear me screaming

"Get a haircut, Howie!" ?? :rofl:

[SharonRB]

34. I was trying to figure out what look he was going for

Maybe the Timothy Leary look.

[Patsy Stone]

43. LOL

It's well on its way to Einstein.

[SharonRB]

45. LOL

:rofl:

[bleever]

53. I was thinking

http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_lRcqvowUNrM/SKtzQGfzO8I/AAAAAAAAAXk/-dMNNk0bk6g/s320/chad+and+jeremy.jpg

Chad and/or Jeremy.

[PSzymeczek]

123. Chad.

Definitely Chad.

[SeattleGirl]

21. WTF? Signing the START Treaty is treason? Geez, those folks

have totally, completely, and absolutely lost their minds!

[Berry Cool]

26. Hell, I'm glad he did it. I'm still pissed off about the approved assassinations thing.

At least this is a plus on the other side of the ledger.

:hi: Hello all, missed Tweety while editing the Easter video for the family.

Damn, what IS this "first Countdown secret story" Keith keeps alluding to, and what does Mr. PC have to do with it???? What, we thought he broke up with Katy and instead he married her and had John Hodgman as his best man???? :shrug:

[SeattleGirl]

33. Yeah, I'm with you Berry about the assassination thing.

Don't really like that at all, but I do like that he signed the START Treaty.

:hi:

[RevCheesehead]

46. Don't even joke about that!

:scared: "he married Katy." :scared:

:hi: Hi Berry

[Berry Cool]

68. Hi Rev!

:hi:

Yeah, it's a new sitcom--"I married Katy, what a girl, what a twirl, what a...mistake." :rofl:

[Patsy Stone]

50. My guess

it's iPad related. I only saw the last few minutes of his "LEMEEFINISH!" moment. :hi:

[Berry Cool]

81. John, promoting an iPad????

Wouldn't that make him a...TRAITOR??????????

[SeattleGirl]

84. Then I say that he must be IMPEACHED!

:hide:

[Patsy Stone]

87. It might be that KO has one

and John is going to trying to convince him that the PC tablet is better.

[Patsy Stone]

27. The only thing that remains for the Republican party

is hyperbole. As someone who treasures hyperbole, I don't want them to have that.

[WolverineDG]

58. they're programmed to reject anything Obama does

He could give everyone $1 million, & they'd bitch about it.

:eyes:

dg

[SeattleGirl]

60. I do think you're right, Wolvie.

[Patsy Stone]

65. I heard something like that today.

Was it on Steph? He could expand Mother's Day from one to two days and they'd still vote against it. LOL. It's funny because it's true.

[SeattleGirl]

28. Hehe. I like that Purina cat chow commercial. "Whatever"

:rofl:

[Berry Cool]

39. Have you seen the really spacey trippy Friskies commercial?

Where the cat walks through a looking glass into a hallucinogenic world of giant turkeys and cows and fish and chickens and the music is really trippy? What do they put in that cat food, LSD?

There's one mashup of it on YouTube changing the music to "Eight Miles High." It's a riot.

[Berry Cool]

44. OK, so Keith says he's a Luddite and he's ashamed of it and John Hodgman is helping him.

OK, so it's not that he got married. Unless Katy is a robot from Japan.

Keith is going to admit to us his deep, dark secret...like that he's only worked on Macs and never learned how to use a PC??

Fear not, Keith, until 2004 I was like you. :rofl:

[WolverineDG]

85. I liked John Hodgman in Battlestar Galactica

I hope I'm not the only one here who thought it highly hysterical that he was the brain surgeon who worked on the Cylons. :rofl:

dg

[Patsy Stone]

89. He was the host of some awards show

actually, the announcer guy in the back. As the celebrities were walking up to the stage to get their awards, he was just making up all kinds of stuff about them in that low, serious, announcer voice. It was very funny. I think it was this past year, but I can't remember which one it was.

[SeattleGirl]

51. Yeah, I've seen that commercial, but not the YouTube version

of it. I'll have to check that out!

[WolverineDG]

56. well, that would explain a few things about my cats

:eyes:

dg

[Patsy Stone]

47. Hey! Chris Hayes in da hizzy!

:hi:, Chris!

[Berry Cool]

54. If Tiger Woods is restoring America's will to live,

America is in trouble.

Oh, and there was a typo in the opening credits: "politial." Time to fire someone, Keith. :rofl: You can't laugh at typos on baseball uniforms when your own staff makes 'em!

[RevCheesehead]

59. Speaking of "da hizzy",

did you see The Daily Show last night? This segment is not to be missed! :hi:

http://www.thedailyshow.com/watch/wed-april-7-2010/michael-steele-plays-the-race-card

[SeattleGirl]

62. Hi Rev!

:hi:

[RevCheesehead]

66. Hi, SG!

DU is wicked slow for me today! :grr:

:hi:

[SeattleGirl]

69. It's dragging a bit for me too, which it doesn't usually do.

[Patsy Stone]

71. I have not

but I will at the next commercial. Now I'm watching the creepy Tiger commercial story. :hi:

[WolverineDG]

80. Once again, MSNBC has me on the floor

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: at the Internet remakes, especially the old-school film "venereal diseases" one. :wipes tears from eyes:

dg

[PSzymeczek]

124. I love the Morgan Freeman

"Shawshank Redemption" one!

[SharonRB]

88. The clip won't play for me

I get to the link, but there's a big white space where the clip should be.

[RevCheesehead]

90. I don't know why it won't... it won't for me, either.

At the top of the page, it says "you aren't signed in." But I thought that was just for Facebook. :shrug:

John interviewed "Michael Steele" - the blue muppet. :)

[SharonRB]

93. Oh, now I see that

I linked it up with my Facebook and it started to play, but then it stopped after a ocuple of seconds.

[Patsy Stone]

98. It's playing for me.

I didn't see anything about Facebook and it told me I wasn't logged in. Hmmm.

[SharonRB]

100. It likes you better n/t

[RevCheesehead]

103. Maybe it's a heavy traffic thing.

I went ahead and signed up, but the video clip stopped. I'll try again later.

[Berry Cool]

92. That was great.

And it's just the way Steele rolls, baby!!

[Botany]

70. That Pelli CAN (do some damage)

Are you O.K. Walt? (No I just got my nuts chomped by a pelican)

:rofl:

[SeattleGirl]

72. For some reason, when that guy asked that question, I thought

of "Fargo". "Oh, I think I'm gonna barf." :rofl:

[SharonRB]

74. So did I!

:rofl:

[SeattleGirl]

77. ROFL! Great minds, eh?

Or twisted ones! :rofl:

[SharonRB]

79. A little bit of both, probably

[SeattleGirl]

82. I'll have to agree with that!

[Patsy Stone]

83. Pelicans are mean

and they're much bigger than you think.

I saw a clip from Jimmy Kimmel this morning where he had clips of three or four different animals freaking out on morning television Wednesday. All of them, all on the same day, different show. What was going on in the atmosphere that day?

[Berry Cool]

96. If Tiger had had an encounter with a pelican, perhaps many of his troubles

could have been prevented.

[SeattleGirl]

97. OMG, I first read that as "could have been perverted."

:rofl:

[Botany]

73. ? Why is Tiger Woods a bad lover?

Because Tiger wins by having the least # of strokes.

thanx I'll be here all week

[SeattleGirl]

76. .....

:spank:

:rofl:

[PSzymeczek]

125. Try the veal.

And don't forget to tip your waitress.

[Patsy Stone]

75. Ohnoyoudi'int, Keith!

"The crowd was once again in full throat?"

:rofl:

[Berry Cool]

86. You know...strokes and holes and all that.

Keith is still 13 years old. :rofl:

"My apology, my redemption, and my finger." :rofl: There ya go. Keith finally admits he's always been a one-fingered typist.

[SharonRB]

91. But you are marginal and wingnuts

I typed that before Keith said it.

[ralps]

94. Today's worst person in the world is Sen Tom Colburn!! for still not allowing a vote

on Unemployment benefits!! :hi: :loveya: :hug: :pals: :woohoo: :grr:

[Patsy Stone]

95. Sane one day, crazy the next.

What's with this guy?

[Berry Cool]

101. Keith shouts out to me

"You know what takes courage, Senator Coburn? Trying to live on unemployment."

:loveya: Keith.

I'm luckier than many. At least I have savings, and I am not at the end of Tier I of EUC yet.

Oh, one more thing...how come wingnuts pronounce "epithets" like it's "epitaphs"? Do the idiots not know the difference??

[SharonRB]

102. Drives me nuts

I've noticed it a lot lately and I keep yelling at the radio or the TV when I hear it. Or sometimes they say "epitets."

[CBHagman]

104. Coburn doesn't need a day of his own...

...to prove how thoroughly spiteful he is.

[SharonRB]

105. I can't find Keith on Twitter

There are a bunch of fakes, but I can't find him.

[SeattleGirl]

107. I can't find him either!

All I've found are the fakes too.

Damn!

[SharonRB]

113. How does he have so many followers already

if he doesn't even show up on the search?

I'm trying to figure out which is the real Rachel, too.

[SeattleGirl]

114. Here:

http://twitter.com/KeithOlbermann

[SharonRB]

119. Thanks!

I kept trying to find him instead of going right to his link.

[SeattleGirl]

121. I'm having fun refreshing his page and watching the number

of followers increase almost exponentially!

[RevCheesehead]

109. Keith can't type??

I shouldn't talk.. I'm one-handing it, since Oreo is in my other arm. :)

[Patsy Stone]

118. Two fingers.

That gives me hope.

[Berry Cool]

120. On the contrary--Keith types masterfully.

That one finger he uses goes flying all over the keyboard with great speed. People on Kos are shocked that he can write an entire diary on his iPhone. I think it's because most people are used to typing with either two hands or several fingers, and he's so used to using just one that he's actually faster on tiny keyboards than "normal" typists.

[SeattleGirl]

111. Here you go!

http://twitter.com/KeithOlbermann

[Berry Cool]

115. Now THAT's our Keith!!

After all the imposters, finally the real McKeith.

[SharonRB]

122. I found Rachel

I was already following her. She just goes by "Maddow" on Twitter. She has over 1,000,000 followers! Keith is up to about 7200.

[Patsy Stone]

106. He's Twittering!

Oh, hell hath truly frozen over.

[SharonRB]

108. He's not showing up in the search

Sometimes it takes a few days after someone signs up.

[SeattleGirl]

110. I finally found him by locating a retweet of his tweet.

Try that.

[Berry Cool]

112. So Keith finally decided to lose his tweeting virginity!!!! Live on the air!!!!

Or MSNBC forced him to...

(Great, now another way I gotta keep up with him. I was kinda glad he'd held out from tweeting, like I have. Apparently Katy never taught him how, or he didn't care to learn.)

Yikes!!!! I would guess the best way to find the authentic Keith would be to follow the MSNBC link!!

[Patsy Stone]

126. Keith and I both follow Eddie Izzard and Stephen Fry on Twitter

I knew we were destined for each other, but this I did not expect. Soon, I hope he will join me in following Joel McHale. :)

[Patsy Stone]

116. I just found him

It took a few times to do so. If you just go to the main page and search Olbermann, you'll find people tweeting (still a stupid, stupid word) about him joining, and they link to the correct account.

[SeattleGirl]

117. That's how I found him.
