KOEB 10/10/05 (To Keith...Or Not to Keith?? That Is the Question...)

[Berry Cool]

Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer the slings and arrows of outrageous news, or watch the Yankees as they take arms against a sea of Angels...and, by opposing, end them.

Er, Keith, wake up. Either way, stuff is going on.

[RevCheesehead]

1. Hey, Keith fans - I got good news!

My mom is going home on Wednesday!!

[SharonRB]

2. That is great news, Rev.

I'm glad she's doing better.

[RevCheesehead]

3. Hi, Sharon.

I just got a quick call from her. Both parents are very, very tired - so this should help pick them up a bit.

How did that new thermostat work for ya this weekend?

[Berry Cool]

4. I'm glad for ya, Rev.

And of course there's another tiddy bit of happy news for us all tonight. :loveya:

Thanks for showing up, Keith.

:hi: See y'all later.

[SharonRB]

5. It was actually pretty nice here during the day this weekend

Sunny and 60-ish.

[crispini]

20. Hi Rev!

It's nice to get good news. :7

[bleever]

6. Yay. Let's have a whole week of good news, shall we?

Will Fitzmas come early?

And KO staying on it with tonight's look at why the smear on Wilson started before his op-ed.



:7

[SharonRB]

7. I'm celebrating Fitzmas this year -- Deck the halls

Fa la la la la

[RevCheesehead]

8. I'm all for it.

I'm feelin an "I believe" thread coming on. ;)

[bleever]

12. Heh heh...sort of along the lines of, "I Believe it's time

to do the happy dance."


:)

[Patsy Stone]

84. I've got my happy face on!

:hi: How are ya?

[WolverineDG]

41. that's wonderful, rev!!!

glad to hear she's on the mend! :)

dg

[Patsy Stone]

87. That's great, Rev.

So happy to hear that! I'm late, but I'm here posting pictures of Frank N. Furter just the same. :)

[RevCheesehead]

112. One can never have too many pics.

Oh - Keith's tie looks like a Tiger Stripe. :)

[Clark2008]

9. I asked the b/f last night if the Yankees were playing tonight.

He told me they were - but in California - and asked why I wanted to know (I'm not the biggest baseball fan in the world). I told him that I was trying to determine whether Keith would be in the studio tonight. LOL.

[RevCheesehead]

11. Hi, Clark!

:hi: I saw the good news you posted on last weeks' thread! :bounce:
Can I say "Congratulations" yet?

[Clark2008]

47. No - the ring was to be mailed today, but it was Columbus

Day (we'd forgotten), so, unless they used UPS or something, it will be tomorrow since the USPS was closed. :(

Oh, well, guess I can wait another three days to a week. SIGH.

But, thanks for the early Congrats, anyway. :)

:hi: Rev!

[RevCheesehead]

10. Was that accidental or a bad joke?

The pillow fight v. Harriet Miers...

[bleever]

13. On purpose. He said, "Sorry, that was just too easy."

:rofl:

[Olney Blue]

14. Happy Columbus Day, everyone!

It's nice to have Keith tonight.

:loveya:

[SharonRB]

17. Hi, Olney:

:hi: It certainly is.

[Berry Cool]

78. Hi, Olney and all!

We're celebrating Cleveland Day here, actually.

[SharonRB]

15. Best Billy Joel lyrics ever

I know the whole thing by heart.

[crispini]

24. I love that song!

Total blast from the past!

Hi Sharon! :hi:

[SharonRB]

25. It's my favorite.

I wish he'd do a sequel and bring it up to date. He could have a field day with the words.

[Berry Cool]

79. Hey wait!!!

Keith impugned Davey and Goliath!! But they're good Lutherans!!

Then again, so were John List and the BTK killer.

Uh-oh.

[SharonRB]

36. All right!

Wednesday should be great. Outlining all of the coincidental terror alerts.

[bunny planet]

77. I won't be able to watch that one, rats. Or the rerun. I'll be in NYC,

probably riding the newly 'safe' subway to meet some friends. Let me know how the Countdown terrorism alert coincidinky show goes.

[Berry Cool]

80. Well, bunny, if you get blowed up real good, we will know it was for real

and we will all punish Keith to avenge your death. Deal?

[bunny planet]

93. Can't we find some other way to punish Keef. Besides, I'd like to be

around when he gets punished.
:evilgrin:

[Patsy Stone]

98. Mee-ow!

Bunny With a Whip! LOL. :hi:

[RevCheesehead]

104. I don't call her Thumper for nothin.

She's no ordinary Rabbit - er, I mean, Bunny.

[Patsy Stone]

108. With big, sharp, nasty, pointy teeth...

:)

[WolverineDG]

120. don't need teeth to do this

:spank:

:P

dg

[RevCheesehead]

16. AAAAHHHHH! A "Davey and Goliath" reference!!!

I'll take that as a shout-out to me. :loveya:

[bleever]

23. It must be true. We thought at the same instant.

:toast:

[crispini]

18. Hi ladies! Just made it here...

:hi: Is this a new tie? I'm not really thrilled with it. It's kinda busy.

[RevCheesehead]

21. I dunno . .

but I'm thinking Keith read our "vibrator" thread. :scared:

[WolverineDG]

44. and why not?

that one was a riot, especially the vibrator that crispy found! :rofl:

dg

[Berry Cool]

81. In other words, if Keith ever shows up wearing a Hello Kitty tie,

head for the HILLS. :scared:

[RevCheesehead]

105. You can head to the hills -

I'll head to the storeroom. O8)

[Patsy Stone]

109. then it's a shout out to me! :) n/t

[WolverineDG]

118. lol

that wasn't the one i was talking about. :evilgrin:

dg

[SharonRB]

22. Hi, crispi!

:hi:

Kkkarl's up next.

[Olney Blue]

Hi Crispini!

:hi:

[crispini]

38. Hi Olney!

:hi:

[WolverineDG]

75. it looked like a halloween tie

and yes, it was a bit busy.

dg

[bleever]

19. Cheese, that Davey and Goliath reference was a clear shout-out

to you, for your post the other night about adult toys.

:rofl:

[RevCheesehead]

26. Here's the link (for the lurkers)

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=315&topic_id=21807&mesg_id=21831

[crispini]

27. Hee hee hee! I had forgotten that.

[bleever]

28. Jim VandeHei was pooh-poohing this story a few months ago,

if memory serves me correctly.

[RevCheesehead]

32. I always think "the Happy Wanderer" when I see his name.

"Vande-Hei, Vande-Ho, Vale-rie, Karl Ro-ho-ho-ho-ho-ove..."

[bleever]

37. LOL! Now I'm stuck with that, too!

:7

[Berry Cool]

83. "Vande hi-dee-hi-dee-ho!!!"

"Folks, here's a story 'bout Karl the Rover,
He went to testify and they worked him over,
They used to call him 'Bush's Brain,'
But now they're gonna get his butt for outin' Plame!

Vande hi-dee-hi-dee-ho!..."

[RevCheesehead]

106. Damn - that's even better!

But, you know, we have accordians up here... :7

[spooky3]

48. LOL!!!!

[crispini]

29. All this stuff turning up just makes me think

that somebody decided to roll over and sell out somebody else. :7

[SharonRB]

30. I just wish it would break wide open already

Bring...it...on!

[crispini]

40. If Fitzgerald decides to extend the grand jury...

I will just DIE from antici -
























pation!

[SharonRB]

46. LOL

I can't bear it anymore. The suspense is killing me. Everyday I wake up and wonder, "Will this be the day?"

[Clark2008]

54. Oh, goodie! Just the season for Dr. Frankenfurter!

[RevCheesehead]

61. * wait for it *

[Berry Cool]

86. SAY IT!!! SAY IT!!! SAY IT!!!!

It will soon be time for Rove to say "Goodbye to all this..."

[Patsy Stone]

82. Late because of a stupid condo meeting...

But I LOVE the reference; and the sentiment! :hi:

[SharonRB]

85. Hi, Pats!

You missed KO butchering the rabbis' names during the Madonna story.

[Patsy Stone]

91. LOL! Hi, Sharon.

Well, a Yiddishe kup, he hath not. :)

I'm going to try and catch the rerun. Let's see if I can stay up.

[SharonRB]

92. I'm going to hit the sack pretty soon

Nothing else to watch tonight, may as well try to get to bed a little earlier.

[Berry Cool]

100. Now, if only those rabbis were French

Keith's pronunciation wouldn't be such a shanda.

[Patsy Stone]

103. Hiya, Berry.

Sadly I missed the show. The thread is, as always, a joy and a delight to read after the fact.

Loved your song lyrics. :)

[bleever]

"Stupid condo"? Does that mean it couldn't get into Mensa?

:hi:

[Patsy Stone]

96. Cage Match material

more than quiet intellectual atmosphere. :)

This month's episode: Should the elevator tiles go in on the diagonal or not?

[WolverineDG]

60. that's why scooter wrote about

the aspens turning in clusters in that mash note he wrote judy....

dg

[Berry Cool]

88. I READ that DU thread about the "aspens all turning at once"

because their roots are all linked...and the theory that that phrase was code for a bunch of Repugs getting together in Aspen and participating in a Bush-bash!

As in, "Come on in, the water's fine!"

[WolverineDG]

119. well, if it isn't code for something

then it's really bad writing :crazy:

dg

[Olney Blue]

31. I wish MSNBC would get some different Rove footage....

I am so sick of seeing that loop over and over.

On second thought, stop showing Rove at all!!!!!!

[SharonRB]

34. I hate that Shrub footage they show all the time

But then I hate any Shrub footage.

[Olney Blue]

39. I hate Shrub footage in mouthage as well.

[WolverineDG]

121. i wish they'd turn the cameras around

just once so we could see that shrubbie's doin' that stoopid wave to NO ONE. :evilgrin:

dg

[RevCheesehead]

52. Yeah - there's so much better stuff available, like this:

[Olney Blue]

63. Would the court please "rise"?

:rofl:

[RevCheesehead]

71. I'd say he was in a "sticky" situation.

"please rise." :rofl:

[Berry Cool]

90. Perhaps Keith's dislike for the man can thus be easily explained.

Gluten intolerance.

[Berry Cool]

89. Hey, NOTHING was more repetitive than their Terri Schiavo footage.

It sounds terrible to say it, but there were times when I thought if I saw that shot of her in the wheelchair with her husband pointing out to the water one more time, I was gonna scream.

[SharonRB]

33. I can't help thinking that if this was a credible threat,

they're just waiting for the security to ramp back down and then they'll strike.

[crispini]

35. Wow! Wednesday's show looks FASCINATING!

Woo! Break out the :tinfoilhat: ladies!

[SharonRB]

42. I posted the same thing upthread in the wrong place.

[crispini]

45. It's so easy to do that

if you usually view posts in "view all" especially....

[crispini]

43. Ya'll notice they've been running a TON of commericals for

"Good Night and Good Luck" on MSNBC?

Think they known we're news junkies? :P

[Berry Cool]

94. Think they know that we see a connection between Murrow

and our favorite newsguy?





Well, in the ways that count, anyway...and I don't mean the eyebrows and pinstripes.

[RevCheesehead]

107. Gosh - Murrow's got a set of wooly caterpillars too, doesn't he?

I was going to say that both had good taste in attire (with a possible exception, which I said I would never again complain about - aren't I good? O8) ).

[gkhouston]

110. wow, I thought I was the only one

who'd taken the pledge about the Nameless Garment. I'd forgotten that Murrow had a set of woolly caterpillars. Usually, I remember his reporting more than his appearance.

on edit: Great news about your mom up-thread. (Sometimes I like to start at the bottom. :evilgrin:)

[RevCheesehead]

111. Thanks.

They will both be relieved to get her back home. Now they just have to stop sniping at each other (Dad said that was a good sign that she was getting better!).

Another commonality: both smoked. Murrow, unfortunately, never quit. But chalk one up for the Kahuna... he done good. :loveya:

[gkhouston]

113. yes, he done good.

Let's just hope he done it in time. :scared:

[Berry Cool]

115. Yeah, let's hope.

And I have to say, this gives a whole new meaning to what people mean when they say "The MSM needs to grow a set."

They mean...wooly caterpillars, of course.

[SharonRB]

49. OMG

It's bad enough to have your identity stolen, but by one of your parents? I can't believe someone would do that to their own child.

[WolverineDG]

62. i'll bet the dad who stole his son's identity

didn't pay child support. :grr:

dg

[Berry Cool]

95. These people are complete creeps.

Hey, some parents rob their kids' present--why not rob their futures too?

[WolverineDG]

117. all i can say

is give me a child support enforcement case where the deadbeat dad has done this to his kid/s.....my veins will be full of ice water.....

dg

[crispini]

50. What on earth is Gidget wearing?

I can't decide if it's cool and stylish or just weird.

On edit: 90% cool and stylish, but those wiiiiiiide cuffs on the sleeves are just weird. Thus spake Crispini. :evilgrin:

[spooky3]

51. she must have left it where her new kitten could scratch it up

[crispini]

57. Hee!

She has a new kitten? I missed that.

[spooky3]

59. no, I just couldn't figure out how else that jacket got that way

[crispini]

53. Oh, boy, how many PETA threads do you think are starting up in GD?

:scared:

[SharonRB]

55. A non-Soupy Sales category

LOL - I grew up eating lunch while watching Soupy on TV -- he got his start here. He sure got hit with a lot of pies.

[spooky3]

58. did you hide behind a door while sticking out a paw and going

"wah..wah wah wah..." with your tongue rolled?

Remember that animal "sidekick" of Soupy's? Can't remember his name.

[SharonRB]

65. There were a few

White Fang, Black Tooth and I can't remember the name of the lion or whatever it was.

[spooky3]

67. White Fang!!! That's it!

check this out:

http://povonline.com/cols/COL018.htm

[SharonRB]

70. Thanks!

That brought back some memories. Pookie is the one I couldn't remember.

Are you from the Detroit area? I didn't realize he went to L.A. when he left here. I thought he went right to New York.

I used to come home from school everyday and sit in front of the TV and have lunch with Soupy.

[spooky3]

73. no, I grew up in Indianapolis--good ol' Soupy :-).

[Berry Cool]

97. Actually, Soupy Sales is from Cleveland.

You learn something new every day, huh?

[WolverineDG]

56. re: the cameron county courthouse toilet

they have to refurbish the 1912 toilet in order to get the building designated as a historical building. :)

[Muffstser]

64. Home in Time for Michael Musto!

Oh, I love him. :)

[spooky3]

66. He's "Buddha-licious" tonight!

[Muffstser]

68. I love Michael's shirt!

Gotta love that this story was one of the ones I wrote for Jossip today. I made it a point to say the holy guys weren't whining when she giving her earnings to them.

[spooky3]

69. ha! right you are!

[Muffstser]

72. That was the first thing I thought of when I read that.

I was glad that of all the items I submitted today, that was the one Dave didn't edit. It kinda speaks for itself, ya know?

[bunny planet]

74. Oh, I'm keefing baby.

I have a cold so I'm not going to post much, just wanted to say.

101. KO shout out thread from GD

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=104x5028122

[Patsy Stone]

102. LOL link fron an anti-Rita GD thread

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=104&topic_id=5027900&mesg_id=5028053

[gkhouston]

114. two thoughts after seeing the late show...

1. Damn, did he borrow that tie from Dan? And doesn't it look like the radioactive cousin of one we looked at for 3.5 seconds during the Great Tie Debate and rejected because we thought it would look too busy on camera?

2. I loved the placement of one of the teasers for the Rove story. First, the story about the water buffalo thrown to the lions in the expectation that it would be devoured, but the water buffalo had decided he wasn't going to go down without a fight and he had the lions cowering. Second, a quick reminder that the Rove story was coming up. Third, a teaser for the Madonna story, with the word "sin" prominently displayed at the bottom of the screen... :loveya:

[Berry Cool]

116. You know, I never thought about the water buffalo story connecting to Rove

but if Keith had said "Speaking of being thrown to the lions, next we have a story about Karl Rove..."

[gkhouston]

122. that would have been too obvious, IMHO.

I think dropping the Rove reference between "thrown to the lions and is turning on his attackers" and "you're going to hell" was intentional snark, but if not, it was a delicious bit of serendipity.
