[bunny planet]

Hola Chicas and the bartenders who love them.

[bunny planet]

1. That's my very first thread I've ever started.

:blush:

[bleever]

14. Yay, bunny! Icebreaker!

:hi:

[seito]

15. You done good

My first thread... I think there were six duplicate threads that night.

It was musical threads. Some people found it humorous, but I swore I would never start another one.

[bleever]

18. How are you WP?

Things treating you well?

:hi:

[seito]

26. Hey Bleever

I'm doing alright. It is so refreshing to see a Republican facing just consequences for unethical actions. These days, that is a rare and unique story.

[bleever]

36. I do believe we're going to be seeing more and more of it.

They've played all of their best cards.

Here in Colliephonia Arnold is trying to trot out the anti-immigrant thing to prop up us falling ratings, and I don't think it's working.

NGU.

[seito]

43. It warms my heart

to see the people waking up from their media induced hypnosis.

Their own spin creates enough friction with their bull shit that it eventually creates a hole large enough bury them. Physics is such a beautiful thing.

[Berry Cool]

48. Here was my thought when I saw the video of DeLay

at the National Day of Prayer and at first the audio of him did not come in:

"His lips are moving, but he is not praying"

[CC]

124. Any one have an extra

wind machine or two to point at that house of cards?

[bunny planet]

2. where is everybody??? Am I early???

Que pasa?

[WhirlyGirl]

4. I was starting one at the SAME TIME! ... Hi, bunny!!!

. . . Happy Cinco de Mayo!

Here's party-down Keith celebrating Cinco de Mayo with a few of his friends.
:party: :toast::toast::party: :party: :toast:

If his head doesn't look perfectly round today -- in fact, if it looks a bit lumpy --
it's because he ran into a few 43-year-old women on his way into the studio.
And because he made the mistake of asking, "Hey mom, what'd you think
of the show last night?"
:party::toast::party: :party: :toast::toast::party:

5. My first thread!!!!!!!

Hiya Whirlygirl. Welcome.
Where's Sparky to pop the cork on the Moet?

[Berry Cool]

50. Yeah, pass me a margarita, Whirly!

I hope Keef's mom set him straight on women once and for all!

[WhirlyGirl]

59. I hope his ears are still ringing! ... Hi, Berry!

. . . :hi:

Here ya go --

[Berry Cool]

65. Thanks Whirly!

Nice 'n' salty...kinda like how I like my SNARK!

[bunny planet]

3. I'll check back after the commercials, don't let my first thread be a dupe

Stay here with me.

Love you Keef!
:loveya: :loveya: :loveya: :loveya: :loveya: :loveya: :loveya: :loveya: :loveya: :loveya: :loveya: :loveya: :loveya: :loveya: :loveya: :loveya:

[WhirlyGirl]

7. Leave this one up -- I'll bring my party pictures over here, bunny.

[Clark2008]

9. Glad someone made a decision.

LOL!
I was getting dizzy. :crazy:

[WhirlyGirl]

11. It's bunny's first.

. . . Hi, Clark. :hi:

[Clark2008]

17. Bunny's no longer a KOEB thread virgin!

I hope you used protection, Bunny!

:hi:

[bunny planet]

32. No way Clark.

I'm riding bunny bareback.

[Clark2008]

38. Tee hee!

(Love cute little bunny butts)

[Berry Cool]

51. Hey, are there any rules to starting the blog thread

other than you have to begin at the start of the early show?

[bunny planet]

60. rules schmooles.

[WhirlyGirl]

61. Just put KOEB, the day and the date.

. . . And a nice pitchah!

[Clark2008]

6. There are two threads!

Decisions, decisions....

I just posted in both. :)

[seito]

8. Hi Bunny

:party: Congrats on your first post :bounce:

[bunny planet]

10. Warrior Princess!!!!!

Hi. How are you? I haven't talked to you in forever.

[seito]

12. Doin good

It was so nice to find your thread tonight. It has been a long time.

[bunny planet]

13. Ok, I have to do summation during commercials.

Stairs you know.

1. Wardrobe malfunction alert (no not Keef, he's wearing the lavender!:loveya: )

What is that Brit wearing. An aqua vest with a tie, a tan, and a Greco-
Roman haircut. Nice tie though.

2. The three top Al Qeada (never can spell that) are OBL, Ayman Al Zawahiri, and Mullah Omar. How come the Bushies keep catching more and more #3 guys? They can't all be #3, this is bogus. I'll be impressed when anyone of the real top 3 are caught.

3. Hot Tub Tom is going down. I can feel it in my toes. It's now or never.

[WhirlyGirl]

16. Did Milbank say ...

. . . "a game of hump the House majority leader"? }(

[Clark2008]

19. Dana can be quite the snarky companion

:evilgrin:

[WhirlyGirl]

96. I was kidding -- he actually said "hunt."

[WhirlyGirl]

20. Runaway Bride on a WI quarter! - Rev missed it again!

[Berry Cool]

52. Yeah, I thought "Damn, he's shouting out to the Rev AGAIN!"

It's just not fair!!!!!

[RevCheesehead]

92. Really?

Keith, darling, if you want a cheesehat, just say so...
and stop dissing 43-year-old women (I'm one of them). O8)

[WhirlyGirl]

98. Hey Rev! - nice night, eh?

[RevCheesehead]

102. Hi, WG -

Just getting caught up in reading the thread, while watching ER.

Looks like an interesting show. I'll be back in an hour (after my double-dose of The Daily Show). :)

[Greylyn58]

21. Howdy Everyone

Happy Cinco de Mayo!!! It's my dad's birthday. He's 75 years young today!!!

Hope everyone had a great day!!

:hi: my fellow KOEBers :grouphug:

[WhirlyGirl]

24. Hi, Greylyn! ... Ah-WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

[Greylyn58]

29. Ah-Wooooooooo

back at you. :)

[CC]

130. Happy Birthday

to your dad. Hi to you and Sheridan & the kitties. (Even the angel ones)

[CC]

206. More ferret pics for you Whirls and

for Mr. Whirls... well they do show Rev a ferret tail.

[Berry Cool]

53. Happy birthday to your dad, Grey!

and big hugs back at ya!

[bunny planet]

68. Hi Greylyn!!!

[bleever]

22. LOL. "How about shutting up, Brown??"

Followed by a reference to the Simpson "Bart down a well" episode while reporting on the elephant.

:)

[Berry Cool]

54. Yeah, I got that one!

The elephant story was so cute, the way he reported it...but "sending their love down the well! LOL!

[Clark2008]

23. Hahahaha!

There are no lyrics in a MARCHING BAND!

:7

"Eye of the Tiger: for Dennis the Catman! :rofl:

[Berry Cool]

55. Besides which, anyone who actually KNOWS the lyrics to "Louie Louie"

knows they're not REALLY dirty.

People just THINK they're dirty, is all.

What a maroon!

And Keef finds yet another way to work CATS into Oddball!

[bunny planet]

25. Do I look like I have a glandular condition.

Oh Keef, you are a snarky bad boy.

I love the Runaway Bride collectors items. The peanut was my favorite.

I want a singing UPS man. I did have a mailman with Tourettes (no lie).

[Berry Cool]

81. I was thinking about last night's Loews ref on Oddball

and thinking about a brief period of time when I worked there.

We used to have a saying: "Loews blows."

Also, my roommate who also worked there (and gave me the idea) used to sing her own words to that opening jingle they ran at the beginning of every movie before they ran the five thousand coming attractions.

You know--"Thank you for coming to Loews/Sit back and relax/Enjoy the show!"

She used to sing "Sit back and relax/Enjoy your blow!"

Sometimes I still laugh thinking about her doing that.

[bunny planet]

87. I think that's what the blivet used to sing too.

Your roomie's version I mean, and I don't mean the Clintonian meaning of the word.

[Berry Cool]

119. Now THAT's funny!

I am sure that the blivet has often "enjoyed his blow"!

[Clark2008]

27. Geez - everything Bush touches turns to shit, doesn't it.

The FBI is STILL suffering.
Our National Guard is in Iraq.
Untrained Minutemen and manning the borders.

I don't know about you, but I'm getting rather frightened. :scared:

[WhirlyGirl]

28. Feminists, hope y'all read post #4 ;-)

[Clark2008]

34. I read it, WG

But I didn't get it. :blush:

[WhirlyGirl]

40. This post from last night's meeting thread should clear it up...

. . . It involves his comment during the Paula Abdul segment last night:
http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=315&topic_id=4173&mesg_id=4250&page=

[Clark2008]

62. Oh, I remember that now.

But I thought he saved it by saying, "Dating..." instead of what he COULD have said.

[Berry Cool]

69. Well, yeah, but sheesh, even *dating* considered something 43-year-olds

are too OLD to do????

(Besides which, Paula is only 42...and doesn't look it anyway)

I guess 46-YEAR-OLD MEN aren't TOO OLD TO BE DATING, though! Oh no!

Sheesh! Can the double standard, Mr. O! And if you do, well...we'll discuss your reward later.

[WhirlyGirl]

70. "a 43-year-old woman thinking she's still viable on the dating market"--

. . . I can't see how it would make sense with another word substituted for "dating." LOL! And the closing remark ("Hint: it wasn't me.") only made it worse.

Goodness, but men are narcissistic, aren't they?! :eyes:

[Berry Cool]

77. Actually, I thought that was the salvation

Call me pathetic...I'm sorta glad to know Paula didn't give Keef the time o'day back when he lived in LA...much less anything else.

Of course, considering what he looked like back then, it's hardly a surprise.

Keith is definitely one man who has gotten better as he has aged.

[WhirlyGirl]

88. Likely he was fun to be with but I'm afraid he dived into that '70s style-

. . . HEAD-FIRST. :scared:

Meanwhile, she was probably the cutest thing going and so surrounded by guys he wouldn't have been able to get near her!

[Clark2008]

99. I didn't remember it being that harsh...

but, then I was dusting at the time.

And, what did he say at the end? Put it into context for me?

I was a "horrible" Keef watcher last night. That time of the month for me and I was on a cleaning rampage (I don't know why I get the "cleaning bug" during my monthly, but I do.)

[Berry Cool]

121. Every once in a while, I am tempted to go on a cleaning rampage

but when it happens, I just sit quietly for a while until it passes.

[RevCheesehead]

125. me, too.

My personal credo:
"Remember you are dust, and to dust you shall return." Therefore, why stir up the remains of our loved ones? Let the dust sit... it is a theological argument, yet also a spiritual grace.

(I actually told someone that, when in the midst of various family issues, was worried about cleaning her house. She later told me that she often quotes me on the "spiritual insignificance of dust.")

[CC]

137. Oh a new excuse for

avoiding housework. (Though the animals must be attended too no matter how icky the job)

[RevCheesehead]

142. Very true

but that's not housework - that's the equivalent of "diaper duty," and that's an act of love.

I've often wondered if I put Endust on Oreo's tail, if she couldn't help out a little around the house (she's the fluffy one).

BTW - what do ferret tails look like?

[CC]

147. um like regular

tails? Ferrets are not rodents but pure carnivores so they definitely do not have rat like tails. They are relate to minks, pole cats and even skunks. And my cats try to help dust but leave fur behind. Will have to find a pic with a ferret tail for ya.

On edit and ferrets use a litter box like a cat but smaller messes.

[Berry Cool]

144. Dust as something spiritual! Now I LIKE that!

It's so much better than just admitting that one is a slob.

Now you're sort of reminding me of Pigpen from the Peanuts cartoons...whose defense for the cloud of dust he raised everywhere was that for all anyone knew he was carrying around the dust of ancient history...dust from the time of the ancient Romans and when Jesus walked the earth and whatever. He didn't see himself as a slob, but as a historian preserving the dust for future generations.

I like that philosophy.

[WhirlyGirl]

131. Here's how the ending went...

. . . Keith says: "I don‘t know about the big deal about Paula Abdul. I was in LA when she was a Laker girl, and who she slept with then didn‘t seem to bother anybody, 25 years ago."

Then he thanks his guest, turns to us and says, "That‘s COUNTDOWN. Thank you for being part of it. I‘m Keith Olbermann. Just for the record: No, NOT ME."

PS: Cleaning's not an unusual "symptom"; in fact it sounds real familiar!

[Greylyn58]

30. HAHAHAHAHAHAAH!!!!

Oh God!! I love Michael Jackson Puppet Theater!!!!

WOOOOHOOOOOO!!!!!

[Berry Cool]

56. And it had more cats...this time, BIG ONES!

I loved the little stones on sticks!

Woo-hoo-hoo indeed!

[bunny planet]

31. OMG Hot Armadillo love.

Too mucking fuch. That was soooooo funny.

[WhirlyGirl]

33. You know you have a BORING show, when ...

. . . the animals are on the desk, in the spotlight, and they're so bored that they start ___ing.

[Elle Woods]

42. I actually like Letterman

not as much as I like Keith, but it's a great show. I'll take him over Leno any day.

[WhirlyGirl]

46. Hi, Elle! Yes, I like Dave, too.

. . . I just didn't get what he was trying to do for the first 3 years -- and then one night I had it on in the backgound, and somebody said something... and all at once it clicked ... and I started laughing!

[bunny planet]

45. Au contraire, the armadillos love Letterman. He makes them horny.

[WhirlyGirl]

49. Yeah, well PARROTS sure hate him. Every time a guest brings birds ...

. . . they attack him!

[Berry Cool]

58. How come seldom a week goes by on Keith's show

without footage of animals doing it?

[Clark2008]

35. Heh! Reading about Paula Abdul is like reading "them Watergate

stories..."

:loveya: that snark!

(And agree with the sentiment... apparently another story his producers are making him do.)

[seito]

37. Hey Bunny

I was just reminising...Do you remember the "DUDQ days" after the election, when Keef was on floatie heart probation?...

[bunny planet]

39. oh yes I do, and I will still withhold floaties from him if he disses my

man JK. I believe that is why I withheld them in the first place.

[RevCheesehead]

94. I don't think Faye has ever forgiven him for that. n/t

[Clark2008]

41. Yeah! He's going to rerun the Apology Hall of Fame

That always makes me snort!

:7


Mo Rocca: Hiding under her beach-towel burka. :) Cute.

[bunny planet]

44. Ok, Mo Rocca, officially funnier than La Dolce Musto.

Never thought anyone could better at slinging the dish than MM but this Mo has Mo-mentum.

Be back soon, gotta go pick up my daughter.

[WhirlyGirl]

47. Everybody's happy just knowing he's going to be on!

[Berry Cool]

63. OK, I am now satisfied!

I am convinced that God sent Keith his verbal tongue-knot at the very end of tonight's show (yet another SportsCenter catchphrase--"in English") ON PURPOSE as his punishment for last night's snark about "the best thing that could happen to a 43-year-old woman"! And as a result he ended the show prostrating himself on his desk and beating his hands against it while the cameras lingered on him for a lengthy loving period of time!

Yeah buddy! Who's "sorry" now????

I love it! One of the best endings since the Howard Beale rant!

Late-nighters, don't miss it!

[bunny planet]

66. He really said that.

Poor deprived man. Doesn't he know 40 is the new twenty.
:spank: BAd bad Keef.

[WhirlyGirl]

73. LOL - I said "the new 30," but I like your way better, bun!

[bunny planet]

74. 50 is the new 30 doll.

[WhirlyGirl]

86. Bunny, did I ever tell you I like the way ...

. . . you think? :hug:

You're edging closer to my neck of the woods now ... and actually, it ain't so bad!

[WhirlyGirl]

67. He belongs in his own AHOF.

. . . I'd say the apology would fall right between Clinton & Kobe.

[Berry Cool]

79. I was kinda hoping he'd add HIMSELF to the litany of apologies

but no such luck!

[bunny planet]

82. Eat your heart out Keefie.

Some of us are 40 (something) and we are spectacular.

Hubbie likes me just fine, over the hill though I am.

[seito]

89. Awww

I bet he modeled those Keef test ties just fine

[bunny planet]

91. I luff him.

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

[WhirlyGirl]

90. Oh, bunny, your #1 is cute, too!

. . . Yes, Keith is refusing to partake of the banquet in front of him. Still a boy in that regard, I guess.

[RevCheesehead]

97. Mr. Bunny is yummy!

and you're cute, too! :loveya:

[bunny planet]

100. Isn't he just.

[bunny planet]

101. I like that Rev. I think I might just have to refer to him as Mr. Bunny on

the clubhouse threads from now on.

[Berry Cool]

And your hubbie is a man of good taste!

and you're a woman of good taste!

Yeah baby!!!!

[Gogi]

57. Do you think KO had words with the staff on the two recent screwups

and that's why he put his head down on the desk?

Poor KO! That's all right big fella, nobody's perfect. :hi: :loveya: :hug:

[WhirlyGirl]

64. I doubt words are necessary.

. . . They all like him so much, anyone who screws up probably goes on automatic suicide watch. :cry:

[Gogi]

71. I hope not!

But then again they probably don't want to go into exile and have to work for Nancy Grace or anyone on Fox!:o :o

[WhirlyGirl]

76. That would be too cruel. He's forgiving of technical glitches now...

. . . Remember the "Mea Culpa" column he wrote for Salon.

[Berry Cool]

80. Yeah, Nancy Grace...

it'll kill ya!

[Berry Cool]

72. What do you wanna bet he gave 'em a real tongue-lashing recently

about all the times they've messed stuff up technically (including putting on titles at the wrong times, or misspelling 'em and such)...and then he himself blows it at the end of a show?

LOL! Sorry, Keith, you missed pitching a perfect game tonight! But seeing your dismay was most amusing!

On edit: I can't help it. After last night, I loved being able to watch for such a long time as he drooled the drool of regret into the pillow of...the desk.

:loveya: for the camera guy!

[Elle Woods]

75. Two points here I'd like to make. . .

Point 1---I believe you all are misinterpreting what Keith meant by what he said last night. The quote from last night (I looked it up in the transcript) "And Paula Abdul gets the best kind of publicity for a 43-year-old woman, that she‘s alive on the dating scene."

Having known Keith for a number of years, I don't think he meant that as a slam to over-40 women but meant to point out that Paula Abdul, as a 40-something woman was dating a 20-something year old man, meaning that Paula is not taking being over 40 as a nail in her dating life!

Also, Point Two, having known Keith for a number of years, I will tell you this much-- he likes younger women.

[Berry Cool]

84. Elle, you are indeed quoting him more correctly than I did

because I rewatched that part of last night's show tonight to check. Even so, I didn't think it was a great thing to say. Besides, and I address this to Paula my dear...if you want to date 20something men, there's gotta be more out there that would be happy to do it than American Idol contestants. Come on!

As for you, Elle...you must forgive me for being a skeptic about your claims of a personal acquaintance with the man, and personal knowledge that "he likes younger women." I saw another online forum once in which someone dropped in making much the same claims. Turned out, as most such braggarts do, to be a troll. Amazing how much blind faith that creature garnered, though, before finally slinking back into the hole. Oh well.

Maybe it's just the fact that I'm a veteran of online forums and I have learned through experience that those who brag the biggest have usually the least to brag about.

[Elle Woods]

93. Excuse me for posting

but I do know him and have for years. My husband has known him even longer, since Keith’s L.A. sportscaster days in fact. Although we live on different coasts these days, we still maintain fairly frequent contact with him. He's one of my favorite people and never fails to make me laugh. He's also a decent, compassionate human being, and yes, one of the smartest people I've ever known.

Berry, I'm sorry you apparently have a cynical nature and have had bad experiences in other internet forums. I however, have nothing in particular to gain by posting here. It is interesting to me to note that although this is the second time you've apparently heard this same information, that you still doubt the veracity of it and in fact, chose to attack me for posting it. Perhaps you have reasons of your own for not wanting to believe what I said? Sorry to shatter any illusions you might have had about him, but it’s very true that he likes dating younger women (think no older than early thirties). That doesn't make him a bad person by any means, just a typical one! Given the chance to date a younger woman, most of them will!

Oh, and one more thing? Before you go off on him again over something you think he's said--may I suggest that you check the actual show transcript next time to confirm what was actually said first?

[WhirlyGirl]

103. Elle, nobody knows who anybody is on the Internet ...

. . . Don't be insulted if you're not instantly believed, okay? Berry's skepticism is reasonable on a message board.

[RevCheesehead]

106. this is especially true right now on DU.

Two long-term posters were banned - they turned out to be the same person. This "scandal" has hit home rather hard for a lot of people, especially those who thought they knew these guys.

So, right now, skepticism is a natural response for many.
No offense - it's just the reality of the internets.

[Berry Cool]

118. OK, you're excused.

Just kidding.

Really, there's no need for such great upset.

I earned my cynical nature honestly--every bit of it--and I don't see it as a negative part of my personality, but rather as one of my best assets.

If you have nothing to gain in particular by posting here, why post, though? I would hope anyone who would post here would have something to gain. I would hope it would be fun.

Of course I doubt the veracity of the information. The troll on the other group actually ended up posting a picture of a mythical "girlfriend" who turned out to be someone else altogether, easily identified by some as a fraud. It was kind of a joke, in the end. But before that, boy did that person have a lot of faithful fans sitting around 'em crosslegged, hanging on every word of the "lowdown" about what kinds of women KO likes (all information, apparently, based on alleged knowledge of what kind of women he allegedly used to go out with back in LA in the '80s...yeah, that's real recent).

Some people get off on that kind of stuff. They like the attention gathered by going into a group dedicated to some celebrity and then claiming to know "all about" said celebrity, gathering a circle of the Great Unwashed around them who will then beg to hear "tales out of school."

Lots of those on the many Internets, unfortunately.

This is no attack--just a comment based on experience. I am sure that if what you say is true (and there's no way such a thing can actually be proven, it either has to be "taken on faith" or not taken at all), you don't need to worry at all about what I think. I mean, who cares, right? If you know you're telling the truth, that should be reward enough. Skeptics mean nothing to someone who knows they're telling the truth.

And believe me, I have no real illusions to shatter. I post here for fun, that's all. And I'm going to continue to do so. If I misquote Keith a bit when I post something on here and then find out I was a bit off later, I will be the first normally to correct myself; I'm honest enough to do that. But I'm not going to make this into a job, and go and be scared to post anything without checking the tape first to make sure I have an exact precise quote! Nah. Too much!

[RevCheesehead]

122. Well, Flyarm and her husband are good friends of Keith, too.

But I haven't seen her lately. Is she still in the process of moving, or what? (I miss Mama Fly!)

[WhirlyGirl]

225. I didn't get to know Fly like you did, Rev; can you tell me about her&him?

[sparky_in_ma]

126. Hi Elle

:hi: Welcome to the thread.

[WhirlyGirl]

95. Point #1, you wouldn't have to know KO to make your point #2. :-)

. . . And his remark wasn't the first of its type, so I'm afraid what he said can't be so easily spun.

Bottom line, it's not writing the guy off to say that in some respects he still has some growing up to do. I think he's gonna get there.

[Clark2008]

178. Yeah!

At 35, I'm "younger" than him!

:7

:hi: Elle and hope you come back to the KOEB sometime. I love personal anecdotes about famous people. I know a few myself from my old reporting days. It's nice to know they're just like the rest of us - one pants leg at a time and all. :)

[Berry Cool]

201. Hey, I know some too

but I don't feel comfortable spilling the beans. And well, you know, it's just not always necessary.

[_q_]

229. I am simultaneously

too old and too young for him.
-q

[bleever]

223. Hi Elle.

Welcome to DU!

Your spelling and punctuation are too good, and your points too reasonable, for me to be suspicious. So don't be taken aback by the initial skepticism most people face when first posting here.

:hi:

[WhirlyGirl]

226. That's right; anybody who's dependent on copy editors is an obvious fraud!

. . . Uh-oh... KO's kinda rusty on those comma rules... ;-)

[Clark2008]

111. Frankly, I just found myself wishing I could just run my fingers

through the back of his hair...

*chills*

I have a thing about his hair, don't I? LOL! :blush:

[WhirlyGirl]

224. Clark, if I can have a --

. . . "thing" about his hands... and that (oooh, I can hardly say it!) little *bow* in his upper lip... you can have one about his hair.

If it's KO, it's all good.

83. I missed both the screw-ups. He insulted 43 year old women everywhere,

that was one. What was two?

Keef, I just might have to withhold floatacular devices for quite awhile.

[CC]

78. Hello to anyone left around.

Home and caught the end of the show. Answered my neighbor in the other thread before coming here. So Whirls that pic help melt the hub yet? Or do you need more to convince him?

[WhirlyGirl]

105. Hi, Ferretessa! And there's Wolverine, too! (or is it a wolverina? ;-)

. . . CC, I replied on the other thread where the ferret foto is. Did you see?

[CC]

123. Hi Whirls, yes I did. Why I ask

if you are going to need more cute ferret pics to melt the hubs heart. Also where I learned seito and I have only a river between us. She is the next county over.

[WhirlyGirl]

139. Where's my head?! - started to post a followup over there...

. . . and never got back to it!

I showed Gizmo's latest cute pic to my husband as soon as he got home, and as usual his eyes went up to the ceiling like this :eyes: and he said "Oh, Lord" like he always does when he thinks I have a new mania. (Which I do, for ferrets!)

[Berry Cool]

152. It's hard to help...he's a darling ferret!

He'd give anyone a ferret mania!

(Except me, maybe. My cats would make quick work of him, probably. No matter how feisty he is. And I would not want to subject him to such a fate.)

[WhirlyGirl]

153. Did you ever see how they raise up their backs like cats? They're very-

. . . cat-like.

[CC]

157. Will have to send you reading

up on ferrets then. And there is the serious ferret proofing. I found my hubby slow to learn on that. They ruin the in soles of 3 pair of boots before he learned to put them away. He was in trouble if they ended up with something stuck in their tummies. (And would of had the vet bill to get insole pieces out)

[WolverineDG]

85. Hi Everyone!!

I missed the show tonight but am taping it to watch tomorrow (I've got a 5:15 spin class to get to in the morning, so staying up for the late show will be waaaay past my bedtime).

From the snippets you've posted about the show, looks like it's a good one.

dg

[WhirlyGirl]

107. You have GOT to see his humiliating forehead-on-the-desk bit at the end.

. . . Shoulda been for sexist/ageist remarks yesterday -- but he did it for flubbing Dan Abrams' name tonight.

[CC]

161. Honestly I think he

was laughing the whole time his head was down. Just a Keef thing to do.

[WhirlyGirl]

209. Laughing while his head is down...

. . . that's something else bad little boys do in class.

It drives the teachers crazy!

[WolverineDG]

221. Ya know

I'm not gonna beat Keith up for that remark. If he wants to date teeny-boppers who haven't gotten a clue as to what life is about yet, that's his problem. Too bad most men haven't figured out the wisdom of Ben Franklin, who preferred "older" women because we are wiser (& more grateful) than our younger sisters. We've been around the block enough times to recognize a good guy even though he looks & acts a bit goofy.

I tell ya, once I turned 40, I felt so free from worrying about what men think. Ya wanna go out with me? FINE, ASK ME OUT. Ya don't wanna go out with me? FINE, GET OUT OF MY WAY. NEXT! ;)

dg

[WhirlyGirl]

222. Wolverina, you musta had a lotta hot sauce yesterday!

. . . Cuz you're sure fulla pepper today! :-D

[RevCheesehead]

104. OK, who put Sparky in hiding?

or is he just staying away because I'm busy? :loveya:

(no floaties for Keith until he takes it back. 43. hmmpf.)

[Botany]

108. Sorry Rev.

Sparky is in hiding from some MA Bay Airs.

[RevCheesehead]

110. But Jamie the wonder-cat is there to protect him.

I just hope he ain't out with Alison tonight. :grr:

[Berry Cool]

129. Well, you know the ASTBers

They ALL say that Alison would be going out with them if she had her druthers!

But I doubt it. After all, I just talked to someone who has known Alison for years and says that...pssst...she likes *younger men.*

Paula Abdul, move over and make room!

Then again, maybe poor Scott Savol needs comforting now that he's finally lost (perhaps because the votefortheworst.com site got overloaded and couldn't register his normal volume of votes).

Hey ladies, he's ripe for the picking!

*crickets*

I tell ya. Women nowadays have no taste. *shaking head*

[sparky_in_ma]

140. Sure, just burst my bubble

:cry: Alison has just not experienced the charms of a mature man. Once she's had the Sparks light up her life, she'll never go back.:crazy:

[Clark2008]

182. Hey ya Sparks... where ya been?

:hi:

[sparky_in_ma]

186. Hi Clark

Work has been beating me up lately, a lot of projects. It's cool, done it before.

How are you doing?:hug:

[RevCheesehead]

115. Hey, Bot (or should I say Mr. Steph?)

Nice thought - a KOEB field trip to a cheese factory. I actually went on one of those in 4th grade. Fascinating. Curds and whey. But no free samples. :(

[WhirlyGirl]

120. We did the local bakery.

. . . Each of us received a fresh loaf of bread upon our departure, still warm from the oven.

They were really pushing fortified bread then because of nutritional deficits discovered in the nation's diet (particularly iron in girls) -- but all I remember is how good it smelled and tasted! (And the little blond girl with the curly up-do on the wrapper.)

[Berry Cool]

155. Was it Sunbeam Bread??

Boy, I guess that's one field trip KO was lucky not to go on.

I can just see his reaction. "Free bread...WHOOPEE."

[WhirlyGirl]

158. But he couldn't have had any because it wasn't gluten-free. :-(

. . . But it WAS Sunbeam!

[Berry Cool]

163. Uh, that was my point. :-)

I can see the teacher saying to him "And we're all going to get FREE BREAD!" and him thinking "Oh, whoop-de-doo. Free samples of something I can't eat!"

[Botany]

127. Rev. did I tell you that on the next trip ........

..... you will eat cold Lutefisk on Wonder Bread.

MMMMMMM!

[RevCheesehead]

133. I suspect, Botany,

that you're still a bit pissed at Crispini - let her eat the Lutefisk!

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=105&topic_id=3183108&mesg_id=3183206

[WhirlyGirl]

109. Many had excused absences, Rev; I don't believe Sparky did, but--

. . . I could be mistaken.

[RevCheesehead]

112. he probably had to work late again...

...or he fell asleep on the sofa again. :boring:

[WhirlyGirl]

113. He's been burning the candle at both ends.

. . . You're frickin wearing him out, Rev!

[RevCheesehead]

114. I didn't hear him complain, though.

You know, "the power of cheese," and all... O8)

[WhirlyGirl]

117. It's true, you hold an unfair advantage. I wuz going to try cheese*cake.*

. . . A little *value added* kinda thing! }(

[Berry Cool]

134. That darned cheese-power!

What about the power of buckeyes?

The power of *nuts*???

Hey, I'm trying here. :shrug:

I have to laugh. My iTunes is playing such an appropriate tune for tonight: Adam Ant. "Desperate But Not Serious"!

Possibly the new slogan of the KOEB!

[RevCheesehead]

138. If not for the KOEBers,

I'll be glad to adapt it as my own personal slogan. :)

[WhirlyGirl]

141. 'The power of *nuts*???'

. . . :rofl:

[Berry Cool]

132. You mean if we're absent

we have to get an excuse signed by our parents?

That's gonna be a toughie for me.

Can't I just say that the dog ate my snark?

[sparky_in_ma]

128. Hey Rev

Work again.:( Tomorrow I'm going to a party for a co-worker who has found a better job. I'll miss him at work, but we'll still get together, he lives close by. Been trying to get him on DU, he's a great guy.

[RevCheesehead]

135. He's Alive!!

Life - it's hard work.

But how nice of you to drop in and let us adore you! :loveya:

[sparky_in_ma]

143. Actually,

I come here to adore the KOEB.:loveya:

[RevCheesehead]

145. great response..

you get extra :loveya::loveya::loveya: for that.

[WhirlyGirl]

148. Isn't HE the silver-tongued devil! - C'm'ere and tell us more, Sparky!!

[sparky_in_ma]

171. I work with about 800 women

I have learned many survival techniques. :scared:

[RevCheesehead]

176. what's scarier is that when you get home from work

you log on to the internets and hang out with EDV's.

You are an enigma, Sparky. :)

[sparky_in_ma]

181. Well.....

to tell the truth, I like women, a LOT.:D (in truth, while I admire the beauty of an Alison, I always preferred women closer to my age. Go figure)

[RevCheesehead]

187. and with your charming personality

and oh, so big heart, it's amazing that someone hasn't snatched you up yet. (not that I'm complaining!) :)

[sparky_in_ma]

190. I've been snatched a few times

just haven't stayed snatched.:woohoo:

[RevCheesehead]

195. and some people say

there is no God. :woohoo:

[WhirlyGirl]

197. Can you say that and not get...

. . LOCKED? :scared:

[sparky_in_ma]

As long as it's in the proper context,

as in "grab", it's OK.:D

[WhirlyGirl]

205. As long as you're fuzzy about what you're ...

. . . grabbing.

[WhirlyGirl]

189. Somebody we'd like you to talk to, Sparks.

--------
<< (in truth, while I admire the beauty of an Alison, I always preferred women closer to my age. Go figure)>> Sparky

[sparky_in_ma]

193. It wouldn't help

What floats your boat seems to be something that only changes on it's own. I've always "tracked" with my age group, just came naturally. I work with a guy who's 45, yet all he chats up are 20 year olds. No surprise that his only girlfriends are in magazines.

[WhirlyGirl]

194. ROTFLMAO!!!!!

. . . I think you got the quip of the night, Sparky! :rofl:

[RevCheesehead]

198. yeah - with staples in their navels

:rofl:

[WhirlyGirl]

179. That's not survival, sir, that's seduction!

[sparky_in_ma]

183. I've also learned a tad

about that too.:dilemma:

[sparky_in_ma]

151. I hate missing the live thread

but it's still fun to read later. Bunny is no longer a thread virgin.:party:

[bunny planet]

166. oh my I'm blushing again.

:blush:
You weren't here to open the Veuve Cliquot and pour the champagne.

It's OK, I forgive you.
:loveya:

[sparky_in_ma]

168. Hi Bunny

:loveya:

[bunny planet]

175. Oh good I love champagne with my jammies on.

Hi Sparky.

[sparky_in_ma]

184. It's good to see you again.

You was missed.:hug:

[Berry Cool]

159. Now see, Keith? Sparky here is a REAL MAN!

Go thou and do likewise! :rofl:

[RevCheesehead]

162. Do you realize, Berry -

That when Sparky first showed up, we were fairly certain that he WAS Keith! All kinds of evidence, like he never posted except during the commercial breaks, his initial disdain for floaty hearts and pool pics, and the fact that nobody has ever seen Sparky and Keith at the same place at the same time.

Just another li'l KOEB factoid for your amusement. :)

[Berry Cool]

207. Now that is quite amusing

Somehow I have to think Keith has better things to do during the show than post here during the commercial breaks (or ever, for that matter!)

Sounds to me like all you did was find...a GUY.

A guy who appreciates good snark, though. And who, much like the boy who takes up figure skating and is ridiculed for it, but figured out that hey, it's a quick way to find yourself surrounded by cute girls in short skirts, knows which side his bread (so to speak) is buttered on.

[RevCheesehead]

210. excuse me, but that's

"what side of the bread the cheese is toasted on." :7

[WhirlyGirl]

217. I can't imagine anything more beneficial ...

. . .
for KO to do than commune w/ us here.
It would give him a whole new perspective on his show, plus lots of :loveya::grouphug::loveya:

[WhirlyGirl]

116. Ultra-violet KO

. . . http://www.gogomag.com/cgi-bin/tvheads_viewer.pl?tvheads30613&30613&Keith

Thanks to Don of gogomag.cm for this nice cap! :loveya:

[Berry Cool]

136. Now that's lovely.

You can't withhold floaties for that one.

Besides, I'm a softie. My anger tends not to last too much! Especially when directed at...well, can ya blame me?

[WhirlyGirl]

146. I suspect he'll be able to keep us with him, Berry. :-)

. . . Besides, he has a pretty fast learning curve.

If not, some of us over-43ers may have to volunteer to "educate" him! (Your choice of floatie or spankie smilie here.)

[RevCheesehead]

149. OK - so I have to ask a question here - -

why did Keith specifically say 43? Why not "over 40" or some non-specific age?

Was it yet another shout-out to me? :bounce:

[WhirlyGirl]

150. He said 43, because that's how old Paula Abdul is.

[RevCheesehead]

154. Sure, sure - but does she have CHEESE? n/t

[WhirlyGirl]

156. Well, you didn't ask THAT, LOL!

[Berry Cool]

165. Which just goes to show...sometimes the Keefster is wrong!

Technically, Paula does not turn 43 until next month (the 19th).

Hey, even I don't know why I'm so vigorously defending 43-year-olds! Maybe it's the feminist principle of the thing! Maybe it's that dratted older sister of mine! I mean, sheesh, doesn't she deserve the right to dream? Man! :-)

[WhirlyGirl]

160. TIME FOR THE RE-AIR!

[CC]

164. So now I get to see what

was on earlier. (Thought DU was broken there for a minute)

Hi Sparky, Berry and anyone else still around. Have to find a tail pic for the Rev.

[Berry Cool]

167. OK, I just turned on the TV and saw the ad promo'ing tomorrow's show.

and drat, I wish I'd been taping! Just because it's slightly different from others, with that "Can't get enough of Keith?" promo for the blog! (Boy, they know the way to our hearts, don't they?)

I was just turning it on when they said "top five favorites" tomorrow. Top five favorite WHATS?? Some latenighter please tell me!

[CC]

170. I don't have the late show taped

taped and missed the promo. But no news quiz in there again huh?

[Berry Cool]

174. No, alas, no News Quiz promos

either in the newsletter or on the show.

I fear it is gone forever, without explanation or apology.

[CC]

177. He needs either this

or this

[Berry Cool]

211. Oh my, that's harsh!

I guess some of us are really being revealing about ourselves tonight! Bwahahaha!

[CC]

215. Ummmmm not me but I

know some people into it. The Internets have really opened my eyes to say the least.

[WhirlyGirl]

227. Berry, did I tell you I *finally* saw that blog promo w/ KO & his ...

. . . maniacal grin as he zings the paper wad? Saw it twice, in fact.

These *must* be in response to requests! (Yours, perhaps???)

[RevCheesehead]

169. *snicker*

You know me - always looking for good tail. :evilgrin:

[CC]

172. Well most likely not

what you are looking for but if you look closely you can see some tail in the first pic. BTW this is what is what is sleeping in my bed 5 nights a week. (the hub seems to keep the feet warmers out of the bed unless lilbear is biting his toes)



What yoga can do for you ferrets get naturally.



"Stop flashing that light in my eyes, can't you see I am sleeping in the middle of the bed hogging it?" Mysti the deaf ferret.

[sparky_in_ma]

173. I like that about you Rev

:evilgrin:

[Berry Cool]

180. Just saw a shorter version of the promo for tomorrow's show

It appears that KO's going to count down his "top five favorite stories of the week."

I dunno about you guys, but to me this smells very much like a replacement for the News Quiz.

[CC]

185. ummmmm did you notice the armadillo

was doing the wrong end at first? So who placed him to the right end?
Time for dobson to make another appeal to blivet* for stricter rating, can't have animal on animal sex on tv now can we.

[sparky_in_ma]

188. I hate it when that happens.

:banghead:

[CC]

191. I going to behave and not tell ya

yeah right. (what I really thought)

[RevCheesehead]

192. don't...

knock it til you've tried it. :evilgrin:

[sparky_in_ma]

196. LOL You and CC are good tonite

Thanks to both of you for making me laugh.:grouphug:

[RevCheesehead]

199. Snark

snark*snark*snark*snark*snark*snark*snark
it makes the world go around - at least, a bit faster. :)

[CC]

200. You might be bartender

driver et all but (and the tequila is catching up to the typing) Rev is snark queen and well I am trying to get there. (Course a few shots of Cuervo helps wonders. Someone has to Celebrate the mexican holiday besides the hubby's boss)

[sparky_in_ma]

202. Good nite ladies

It's been fun as always.:hi:

[CC]

203. Night Sparks

Have fun at your dinner, you sound like you need a break.

[RevCheesehead]

204. LOL - did you write that song?

golly, you really are old as dirt, aren't you???

G'night, sweetie. :loveya:

[RevCheesehead]

208. Good night, folkees and folkettes!

Have a spiffy Friday! :hi:

[CC]

212. Night Rev

Sweet dreams and have a great day tomorrow. (Give the kitties a scratch under the chin for me)

[Berry Cool]

213. Good night!

See you here tomorrow night! Same Bat-time, same Bat-channel!

And don't forget, the Evil Keith Drawing Contest is tomorrow night!

*shameless plug*

[CC]

216. Can ya hold off on the evil Keith

contest until some days after May 15th? My hell week is next week and won't have time to try to draw one. (Plus I graduate the 15th and then have the summer off)

[bunny planet]

228. I would love to enter but I won't have time to create anything before

tomorrow night. Can there be an extension of the deadline?

[WhirlyGirl]

214. And folkies, too? :-)

. . .






(NIGHT, REV! :loveya:)

[CC]

218. Tis time for me to say G'night

specially since there is another human here to sleep in my bed instead of just ferrets and cats. You'll have a goodnight and a great day tomorrow. Sweet dreams.

[WhirlyGirl]

219. Good night, Ferretessa.

. . . And sweet Keith dreams. :loveya:

[CC]

230. self delete
