LOEB Meeting 3/11/10 Yea, More Bonus Keith! Edition

[Berry Cool]

:hi: Keith did a stand-up to introduce the show, say his father is improving, and advise us he will be on later with a piece about living wills and more dad update!!

[Patsy Stone]

1. Excellent.

Maybe I'll be able to watch by then. I have the same problem as last night, but this time the overlap is only half an hour. If Keith comes on after 8:30, I'm good.

:hi:, Berry. :hi:, all!

[Berry Cool]

2. Hi Pats!

:hi: Keith will likely be on at the end again--we'll just get teased through the whole show, is all!

[Berry Cool]

4. He said he was followed once when exiting the hospital by a staffer who wanted to talk to him

about the importance of living wills, so he's going to talk about that and provide more details on his dad.

Boy, today was a gorgeous day here!! Sunny and in the 60s--a perfect spring preview. Just couldn't waste a day like today on housework, so I went out on the bike and took care of a few long-neglected errands elsewhere in town instead. Yeah!!

[Patsy Stone]

10. Look at this load of happy horseshit:

[SeattleGirl]

12. Jeebus Christ on a Frickin' Crutch! People NEED to get over

their homophobia!

Not family friendly enough? Puleeze!!

[Patsy Stone]

14. As I said in that thread:

A sexually ambiguous male ice skater? Who ever heard of such a thing?

:hi:

[SeattleGirl]

16. LOL!

:hi:

[WolverineDG]

37. That's rich

Stars on Ice worried about a gay guy in the show....like that hasn't happened before.....

dg

[Patsy Stone]

41. Exactly as I said.

What a bunch of hooey.

[Berry Cool]

39. I saw that. That is insane.

Hell, Brian Orser's ex outed him in a palimony suit and they didn't fire HIM. They are discriminating against Johnny just because of his flamboyant behavior. It's absurd. Like it's OK to be whatever you are sexually, so long as you don't look like a "flaming faggot." :grr:

[RevCheesehead]

45. Brian Boitano.

Need I say more?

[Berry Cool]

64. Oh, but Brian Boitano keeps talking about how he just wants to meet a nice girl someday

and get married...

You betcha. Like Charlie Crist.

[RevCheesehead]

68. Wouldn't he be better off with Charlie?

Or Massa? :rofl:

[Berry Cool]

74. Well, Rudy Galindo did do that "In the Navy" number once...

[RevCheesehead]

75. Oh, you got me.

I coulda sworn you were talking about Ghouliani. :rofl:

[Berry Cool]

91. Nah.

Rudy Guiliani would've skated in a dress, not pants.

[CBHagman]

106. LOL!

Rudy Guiliani would've skated in a dress, not pants.

Of course, darling!

[Patsy Stone]

89. Oh.

Oh... (shaking head)

[SharonRB]

40. WTF?

A gay male figure skater? Whoever woulda thunk it? If they stopped every gay male figure skater from Stars On Ice all they'd have left would be the women.

[Berry Cool]

69. Well, not quite.

It depends on the cast composition, I would imagine. :-) Amazingly enough, there are straight male skaters. Hell, there's straight people everywhere.

Remember when John Zimmerman was on "Queer Eye for the Straight Guy" with his wife? Oh man, do I envy that woman! :loveya:

[SharonRB]

86. I know they're not all gay

I have no idea who John Zimmerman is.

[Berry Cool]

93. He was a pair skater. Back about a decade ago.

Of course, no one remembers you when you were one of the lesser lights at the time of the French Skating Judge Scandal.

[RevCheesehead]

25. Hurry back!

We need your snarkiness! :hi:

[Patsy Stone]

31. I'm still here

but the TV is off. Nine minutes and counting...

:hi:

[RevCheesehead]

3. Keith looks tired, but also relieved.

I know that rollercoaster - it ain't fun.

:hi: Hi Berry!

[Berry Cool]

5. Hi Rev!!

:hi: How was your weather and your day?

[RevCheesehead]

8. It rained on and off all day.

Temps near 50, but not nearly as nice as yesterday. But on a positive note, the snow is almost all melted away! :bounce::bounce:

Unfortunately, I stayed in all day, due to breathing problems. We've been under an air quality alert since Sunday night. :(

[Berry Cool]

47. What a pity. It was a picture-perfect day in Cleveland. Air and everything.

Sheer heaven. Too bad it's sure to snow again before winter is done with us.

[RevCheesehead]

50. It was beautiful there

because Dennis scared the hell out of Satan. Or maybe not. :hide:

[Berry Cool]

77. But that would have brought sun only to the West Side.

I'm over here in Marcia Fudge country on the East Side. :rofl:

[RevCheesehead]

6. I thought Rachel disproved "the Stupak 12" as being four.

Am I mistaken??

[Berry Cool]

7. Nope, you are correct. I watched last night too.

They don't even have enough for the Jackson 5ive.

[RevCheesehead]

11. Thank you!

I was pretty sure I wasn't going nuts. Don't these guys watch Rachel??

[SeattleGirl]

9. Hi all! Yay, bonus Keith!

I missed him at the beginning, but hope to see him later on.

How is everyone? I feel like I got pummeled with a sledgehammer -- I managed to slip while going upstairs last night and fell backwards. My shoulderblades, behind and feet are scraped and bruised. x( I'm just lucky I didn't break MY neck.

:hi:

[RevCheesehead]

13. Good Lord!

I am sooooo glad you weren't seriously hurt!!! :hug::hug::hug:

[SeattleGirl]

15. Me too! It didn't even hurt initially, but I think that's because

I was so freaked out at what happened that I didn't notice until this morning.

[RevCheesehead]

19. Adrenaline will do that.

Shit. Did you hurt your skating parts again?

[SeattleGirl]

26. Uh, yeah I did. Twisted my right knee, but I don't think it's too

bad. No broken bones though!

[RevCheesehead]

33. Then you'll be back on your wheels in no time.

Maybe you should wear safety padding around the house. :P

[SeattleGirl]

38. MrSG is threatening to wrap me in bubble wrap!

:rofl:

[RevCheesehead]

That sounds

kinda kinky. :evilgrin:

[SharonRB]

53. Only if he puts on high heels

and pops all the bubbles while she's wrapped in it.

[SeattleGirl]

58. LOL!

:rofl:

[RevCheesehead]

59. ...

:rofl:

[Patsy Stone]

20. Oh, no!

(a very gentle) :hug:

[SeattleGirl]

28. Thanks, Patsy!

[SharonRB]

46. Ouch!

That hurts just thinking about it. :hug:

[SeattleGirl]

52. Yeah, it wasn't fun, that's for certain.

:hi:

[Berry Cool]

49. Poor SG!!!

Sending a :hug: to you and a hope you heal soon.

Yeah, sometimes things like that don't feel so bad until the next morning...but THEN... :scared:

[SeattleGirl]

56. Thanks Berry

A hot bath is in order, I think.

[WolverineDG]

17. Yay Keith's Dad!

:hi:

Meanwhile, back on DU, the poutrage brigade has gotten their panties in a twist over the design of the new US embassy in London. :eyes:

dg

[RevCheesehead]

22. We need more moats.

:hi:

[WolverineDG]

44. Yes we do

wtf is wrong with some people? Lots of natural light, green space, water feature...oh no, it's awful because the US is doing it. :eyes:

:hi: Rev!

dg

[RevCheesehead]

62. It's elitist.

And, a tad uppity. :hide:

[SeattleGirl]

23. Hi Wolvie!

I swear, there are just some people whose thermostats are stuck permanently on "Rage". :eyes:

:hi:

[WolverineDG]

51. Heya SG!

:air hug: Ouch! Sorry to hear about your fall. Hope you aren't so ouchy tomorrow!

Someone noticed last week on Thursday that the rage-ometers go up on the weekends...I guess this is the new thing for the Anti-American brigade to be OUTRAGED about.

Must be nice if the ONLY thing in life that you have to be that pissed off about is a fucking building.

dg

[SeattleGirl]

61. Oh, I know. "Hi, how are you?" "WHAT DO YOU MEAN, HOW AM I?

DO YOU KNOW THERE IS A BUILDING WITH A MOAT????????????? A MOAT!!!!!!!!!!! I'M OUTRAGED!!!!!!"

Sigh.

[Patsy Stone]

24. See what I miss

when I get a life?

:hi:

[WolverineDG]

54. It's still live in GD

Come on in, the water's fine!

:hi:

dg

[Berry Cool]

55. Hi Wolvie!

:hi: You mean, it has a moat and that's the problem? It's not shaped like a penis or something?

[WolverineDG]

72. No, it's because it's for the *US* Embassy

and you know the US...horrible, evil, home of the imperialist capitalist pigs...nothing good ever came out of the US, that sort of shit.

If any other country had proposed that design, these same whiners would be cheering the design & bashing the US for not having a similarly-designed one. :eyes:

dg

[Berry Cool]

81. Agh! Those people drive me nuts.

Is the US morally superior to every country on earth? Would that we were! But we're not morally INFERIOR either!

These "blame America firsters" are what the Freepers think we ALL are. :grr:

[WolverineDG]

84. There's good & bad in the US

things that make me scream with rage & others that make me glad I live here. Yet this shit keeps getting posted & then the same whiners turn around & wonder why everyone else (ie, those who are sane) think they're anti-American?

well, DUUUUUUUHHHHHH


dg

[SharonRB]

18. Hi, everyone!

:hi:

It's awful about Harry's wife and daughter. I hope they'll be okay, but it doesn't sound so good for his wife.

[Patsy Stone]

27. Quite serious.

:hi:, Shar!

[RevCheesehead]

29. Hi Sharon.

I felt awful about the accident, and yeah, I even wondered if it was an "accident." :tinfoilhat:

:hi:

[SharonRB]

32. I didn't even think of going there...

I wish you hadn't. Now I've got to go find my tinfoil hat.

[RevCheesehead]

36. Sorry.

I think I read something like that in GD: Pee.

[Patsy Stone]

34. Alright

Step away from DU, slowly. :)

[RevCheesehead]

43. It's definitely a factor.

Earlier I got into it with someone about Elton John and "terroristic threats." :eyes:

[Patsy Stone]

48. Shouldn't that have been

"terroristical"?

Were those two in the same discussion? I am intrigued.

[RevCheesehead]

57. I apparently don't understand legalese.

And I didn't have Wolvie nearby.

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=389&topic_id=7897824&mesg_id=7897824

[Patsy Stone]

82. That word

is just one of the reasons people hate to learn English. It seems like one more (probably made up by a lazy person) unnecessary adjective, the main point of which could have been conveyed with any of a number of other variations of "terrorism". I think it's just there to make the dictionary heavier.

[WolverineDG]

83. what? is your PM broken or something?

how do you think we Texans can all swarm in on the Texas-bashing threads at almost the same time?

dg

[WolverineDG]

88. We have "terroristic threats" in the Penal Code

but trying to equate that to "terrorism" is a bit of a stretch. :eyes:

ex. of "terroristic threat"--if I see you out with another guy, I'll beat up/kill him/you.

dg

[WolverineDG]

80. Hey, I'm the only one allowed to wade into the stupid poutrage threads!

:grr:

:rofl:

:hug:

dg

[RevCheesehead]

85. The dude edited one of his replies to me.

It was something like "Interesting that you focus only on the semantics rather than the case."
I held back, because my brain was screaming "fuck off, asshat."

[SeattleGirl]

30. At least she has feeling in her extremities which is REALLY

good, but wow! What a horrible thing to have happened.

[Berry Cool]

60. Hi Sha-Sha!

:hi: Yes, that's horrible. Definitely hope they heal up soon and well. :-(

[ralps]

21. Hi Berry Cool! Hi Everyone!

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

[SeattleGirl]

35. Hi ralps!

:hi:

[ralps]

42. Hi SeattleGirl!!

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

[Berry Cool]

63. Hi ralps and meow to Crook!

:hi: Those kitties are just too adorable!

[Patsy Stone]

66. Very cute kitties, ralps!

:hi:

[ralps]

71. Hi Patsy! Thanks!

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

[RevCheesehead]

67. Hi ralps and Crook!

Is it raining there yet? Keith has disappeared, and Oreo is howling. Weather changes, ya know. :eyes:

:hi: and :meow:

[ralps]

73. Hi RevCheesehead, Crook & I are doing good & Hi to Oreo, & lil' Keith! How are you all doing? &

Oh No!! Where's Lil Keith!! :hi: :loveya: :hug: :pals: :woohoo: :hug:

[RevCheesehead]

78. I just peeked over the balcony...

he's curled up in the overstuffed comfy chair in the corner of the living room. :)

[Botany]

65. Massa's first victim .... let the investigations begin ..... video

http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=3610567766614094054&ei=vpiZS-qCOqC6rALd_73rDQ&q=tickle+me+elmo&hl=en&client=safari#

********

BTW how about an investigation into lying us into an unneeded war so Dick Cheney could make money?

[RevCheesehead]

70. How about an investigation of McChinless and his ties to Toyota?

I think people would be more likely to be outraged over their Corollas and Priuses than a penis.

[Botany]

76. or Rove getting Don Siegleman put in jail because he complained about ...

.... a crooked vote in Alabama?

Or John Ensign?

Or Brett Farve always ending the season w/ an interception?
:rofl: Still love me?

[RevCheesehead]

79. How could I hate you when you speak the truth?

Cuddles :loveya:

[RevCheesehead]

87. One of life's little lessons learned today:

Beef soup is better made with chuck roast than rump roast. That is all.

[Berry Cool]

90. Hmm. I made mine with shank cross cuts.

Tastes great if I do say so myself!

[SeattleGirl]

92. LOL, when I first read your post, I thought you said you used SHARK

cross cuts!

Maybe I should go clean my glasses! :spray:

[Berry Cool]

102. Hmm, you haven't let any raccoons into your house lately, have you?

"Kitty come snuggle with Mama!" :rofl:

[RevCheesehead]

96. I decided to save the roast slices for sandwiches.

And the soup is now glorified veggie, with a couple of boullion cubes, lots of onion, baby carrots, corn, and beans. If the celery's still good, I'll add some later. And maybe some barley. Last night, Dad and I were talking about all the good soup he used to make. I'm not bad, but I'm still experimenting with the proper herb combinations. :)

[Berry Cool]

103. That's a good solution.

Glad you had a nice talk with your dad. Me, I just make 'em according to the recipe I find in Good Housekeeping. I have this raft of back issues I consult.

[RevCheesehead]

105. I promised him soup and cornbread.

Now where did I put that package of Jiffy mix? :rofl:

[ralps]

94. Yay for Keith's Dad!

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

[SeattleGirl]

95. I know. That's great news!

[RevCheesehead]

97. What did he say?

I missed it, I was stirring the soup.

[Patsy Stone]

98. He's opened his eyes

for the first time in three weeks. :thumbsup:

[RevCheesehead]

100. That's wonderful!

No wonder he looks so relieved! :)

[SeattleGirl]

99. His dad opened his eyes today after sleeping for 3 weeks.

Yay, Keith's dad!

[SeattleGirl]

101. Keith's smile at the end was the first real smile I've seen from

him in quite awhile! And I know exactly how he's feeling.

[Berry Cool]

104. Yes, it's a good thing--I hope it means continued improvement.

Keith sure did look like a load was off him. Good to see him that way.
