KOEB -- 4/21 Thursday

[Patsy Stone]

:loveya::loveya:

[Botany]

1. first?

[Patsy Stone]

6. First.

How ya doin' with those ideas? :)

[Botany]

18. Fine

I just hope she does not expect me to be her love toy all the time.
I have feelings too.

The warm towel to dry off the "spilled" wine is a go.

[Patsy Stone]

33. We know you're more than just

an object. If she treats you poorly, send her our way. :)

[seito]

2. So are we here?

:hi:

[bleever]

5. WP? Is that you?

Where's the light switch?

:hi:

[seito]

13. Hang on Bleever

[Nothing Without Hope]

99. Seito, you are a smiley GENIUS! It is a true talent

I have to wonder at our distant ancestors developing it long before the internets were there to use it on! :shrug:

[bleever]

115. Yeah, I forgot to throw in on how brilliant this was.

I'M NOT WORTHY!

But keep me wait-listed.

:)

[Patsy Stone]

9. We be here.

How are ya, lady? :hi:

[seito]

19. Grrrreat

Did you hear the strong words our "Shadow President" had for Congress.

Makes me proud, I tell ya.

[Patsy Stone]

35. I have to say

I love him, and I love when he sends me mail -- especially with video! For JK: :loveya:

[bleever]

38. I missed it. You gotta link?

Or a smilie with a big caption balloon?

[Patsy Stone]

43. No smilie, but link...

http://www.johnkerry.com/action/valuesvideo/
:)

[seito]

58. Hey Bleev

No smilie necessary

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=102x1410832

and here

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=132x1737203

and the video that Patsy posted is a must see

[bleever]

116. Thank you both, very kindly. My impression, starting with his

body language, is that he knows the election was stolen.

He knows he's fighting the evil empire here.

And he's still fighting to win.

Call me crazy, but that's what I believe, after watching this.

[bleever]

3. Phew! I almost started it myself.

Hi Pats. Como esta?

:hi:

[Patsy Stone]

12. Tres bien!

You coulda you know. Sparky and Botany have. What are ya, chicken?

:hi:

[Clark2008]

I was waiting on someone to start one!

:hi:



Mmmmmm.... suspenders! :loveya:

[Patsy Stone]

17. Hey, Clark

I came in and there was no thread. I didn't understand what I was seeing, and upon constant refreshing, I realized it was something that needed to be done. :)

[gkhouston]

21. and you took the initiative. Brave girl.

:thumbsup: I was actually off working in another window and lost track of the time.

[Patsy Stone]

39. Yeah, I took one for the team...

Call me a good samaritan. I was in another window also, and watching the Marlins. :)

[WhirlyGirl]

89. Me too and Botany posted to it while I was deleting it because I saw Pats'

. . . One night we had 4, remember?

[Patsy Stone]

90. That was funny.

At 8:04 I began to wonder what happened. I checked the Clubhouse to see if it was over there for some reason, and then I just jumped in feet first. :)

[WhirlyGirl]

91. . . . and they came up side-by-side. It never fails. :-)

[Nothing Without Hope]

101. Yum! I have no idea why suspenders to that to me, but they do!

Hi Clark! I hope things are looking better for you. And how's Blue?
:hug:

[Patsy Stone]

4. And I'll start by screaming at wardrobe

The suit, well, I don't need to tell you. But the tie and the shirt and the suit together may be the worst thing he's ever worn.

Wardrobe malfunction MUY GRANDE!

[bleever]

10. Yeaaah...somebody must be on vacation for that combo to slip by.

Even *I* can see that.

[Clark2008]

24. Stipes and checks?

OK, Keith, honey, are you trying to make us think you're not all that and a bag of chips?

Because it won't work. :evilgrin:

[gkhouston]

28. Keith, we know you're straight

you don't have to dress like it. :7

on edit: and apart from some broken EDV hearts, we wouldn't care if you were gay.

[gkhouston]

14. so now he's taking wardrobe advice from Dan Abrams?

:shrug:

[Berry Cool]

78. It may be time to bring in Carson Kressley

he'd set KO straight in a second!

On edit: Er, so to speak...uh, well, you know what I mean.

[Nothing Without Hope]

100. maybe Keef took pity on him and loaned him his best suits and ties? n/t

[seito]

7. Shrub tells Dems to put aside

partisan politics and appoint all of his whack jobs, no questions asked.

Sounds reasonable :crazy:

[Clark2008]

16. Blivet lives in his own world

Unfortunately, we have to live in it with him. :(

[Patsy Stone]

20. Just so long as I'm the dictator... n/t

[Nothing Without Hope]

102. I think Barbara Boxer voted for Negroponte to strengthen her position

on defeating Bolton. They can't say the Dems are voting down ALL their whackjob criminal buds that way. Still, it was a shock to hear about her vote. I know she must have had a good reason, and I suspect what it was, but geez that guy is an abomination.

The blivet** is looking stupider all the time. His little "trust-me" tricks don't seem to be working as well on the credulous as they used to. I hope.

[WhirlyGirl]

8. Hi, everyone. I deleted mine.

Going off to eat moo-goo in a minute, but will be back after...

:hi:

[gkhouston]

11. Poll in the clubhouse about possible moving dates

Whew, I originally said "pool in the clubhouse" -- that would have been far more interesting! I put up a poll yesterday about possible moving dates for the nightly thread. Please stop by before logging off tonight:

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=315x2896

[Clark2008]

15. Bolton is such a turd

I'm glad there are some Republicans who see how awful he is.

[gkhouston]

23. Okay, I'm imagining that entered into the Congressional Record

as an official debate argument: "to my learned colleagues: I cannot support this nominee because he is such a turd." :rofl:

[Clark2008]

22. Just wanted everyone to know

that I may have at least a four-week temp job starting Monday.
I go in tomorrow for an interview.
It would be at the same pay I was making before I got laid off and all that would happen to my unemployment is that it would be suspended for the weeks I'm working.
I THINK it's a company where a friend of mine works based on the description (the recruiter doesn't tell you the company name until you pick up the job slip, which I'll be doing tomorrow morning).
It "COULD" turn into a permanent position since the company is expanding, but they're not sure yet.
Wish me luck!

Also - will be taking Blue in tomorrow for thyroid tests. After much researching to narrow this down (and keep the cost of my vet bill down while we play "hit and miss") I have confirmed through some websites and a vet friend of a friend that he probably has hyperthyroidism (oh, no - my doggie may have Mann Coulter's disease! :puke:). It's easily tested for and managed, but, of course, costs more money. He is keeping food down today, though. I bought him some of that high-priced chicken and rice dog food especially made for bad tummies.

Will keep you updated tomorrow.

[gkhouston]

25. so would they send him to camp Iodine or give him the pills? n/t

[Clark2008]

30. I'm hoping pills

What is camp Iodine?

[gkhouston]

42. radioactive iodine injection

costs a bomb, and you can't visit them for a week or so. (My friend Mary could, when her cat when to Camp Iodine, but she was a cancer survivor and already had the radioactive iodine tracer crap going around in her bloodstream so it wasn't like they had to worry about her glowing.) The iodine is a "permanent" solution but it often kills the thyroid dead, dead, dead so you end up treating for hypothyroidism. The disadvantage of the pills is that they can be hard on an animal's system, but that's usually only true for elderly pets. Since Blue is young, that's not an issue. And it may be that even if Blue is hyper that it will be transitory -- there's a type of autoimmune hypothyroidism that begins with a hyper phase. I'm sure your vet can tell you what's going on after the bloodwork comes back.

[RevCheesehead]

111. My sister-in-law is doing just that right now.

I'll have to tell John about "camp iodine" - he'll get a kick out of it!

(she's "off-limits" right now. Anything she uses has to be destroyed, so I asked her if she was going to get one of those "terrorist" cell phone (disposable) - she thought that was a pretty cool idea.

Hi, everyone, from Mom & Dad's computer! :hi:

[gkhouston]

223. when Battlecat had to go to Camp Iodine, Mary pointed

out that she hadn't been kept in such strict isolation after she'd been injected with a radioactive tracer. The vet's response, "you can be trusted not to pee on the sidewalk or the neighbor's three-year-old." Mary's rejoinder, "How can you be sure?" I do so enjoy hanging with Mary...

[gkhouston]

26. and, of course, best wishes on the temp job

may it become permanent, or at least last until you find a permanent job you like.

[Nothing Without Hope]

104. Hi Clark - I didn't see this when I posted upthread.

I hope the job stuff goes great (I have no doubt YOU will be great, so I'm hoping on the other side) and that Blue Doggie testing comes back with a happy answer.

:hug:

[Patsy Stone]

27. This year's "high price of gas hand-wringing". :)

Hastert had the gas-guzzling SUVs drop them off around the corner. Was he huffing and puffing as he got there?

[gkhouston]

29. high price of gas, my ass

money into the pockets of blivet** and Cheney's buds. Almost all of the price inflation is about as authentic as Britney Spears' boobs.

[Clark2008]

31. Actually, since Brit is preggers, her boobs will be expanding on

their own. hee hee

[gkhouston]

52. ooh, imagine the stretch marks

ain't gonna be pretty. They can put those implants in, but if you didn't have much skin there to begin with...

[Greylyn58]

32. Howdy All

Checking in for a little Keith. Yum! Yum! :loveya:

:hi: Fellow KOEBers :grouphug:

:loveya::loveya::loveya: Keith

[Clark2008]

34. Ha! "Wonder who that guy had to sleep with to get to be Darth Vader?"

:rofl:

Especially since Keith says he blogs in Darth Vader digs. ;)

[Patsy Stone]

36. Disney's Old Yeller DOG FOOD??

So gross! :(

And Men at Work! Go music dept.!

[Clark2008]

44. I'm more worried that, if you feed it to your dog, you'll have to

shoot him for rabies. :scared:

[Patsy Stone]

87. Oh, no...

That would be a big problem. :)

[Clark2008]

37. Props to the music department!

"Livin' in a Land Down Under" - isn't that Men At Work?

:loveya:

[bleever]

40. Hey, it's the former Mr. Sharon Stone. Go, Phil!

A good editor of a good paper.

[Patsy Stone]

Tonight on Countdown

President Bush on Thursday urged the Senate to confirm John Bolton to lead the U.S. delegation to the United Nations, but a key Republican senator signaled he is leaning against the nominee accused of mistreating co-workers. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/7587047/

A potential witness in the Michael Jackson trial is accused of having

he misspoke when he suggested that California's border with Mexico
should be closed to help solve the nation's illegal immigration problem.

That's some of what we're planning for tonight's show.


Finally,
Harvard undergraduates are in a lather over a party where students
donned bathing suits and danced in a sea of foamy bubbles, only to wake
up the next morning with painful rashes. The party, which drew an
estimated 600 students last Saturday night, features a foam-making
machine that fills the dance floor with suds. The foam apparently
contains a chemical additive that keeps revelers from slipping, but can
cause rashes if it isn't properly mixed or washed off soon after
exposure. "I knew people who had it all over their body and couldn't get
out of bed in the morning," Harvard freshman Andrew Trombly said.
"Twenty years from now, it will be funny. At the time, it was kind of
painful."

[gkhouston]

46. hey, have they asked for quiz questions this week?

I get the newsletter at work and I've been telecommuting the last two days. I was just wondering if our bad boy's going to play baseball hooky again tomorrow.

[Patsy Stone]

50. Usually not until Friday's newsletter

But I say if you've got 'em send 'em.

[gkhouston]

55. they practically begged for 'em on a Wednesday, I think it was

the last time they asked for questions. And then the Pope went into a tailspin, so of course they went into long-form coverage and didn't have a regular Friday show.

[Patsy Stone]

66. Oh, yeah

Let's see what tomorrow holds. Have you seen Our Lady of the Underpass?

[gkhouston]

68. No.....

does she snark for food?

[Berry Cool]

79. No, that would be too late. I definitely sense a spate

of baseball-induced hooky comin' on.

Depressing.

[Clark2008]

45. Yeah! KO's doing the cockfighting vs. domestic violence story

And... hey... did he get the idea for comparing that guy to the governor in "Oh, Brother, Where Art Thou?" from our conversation the other night?

Hmmmm...

[Clark2008]

47. This guy is an IDIOT?!

"Pretty girl television reporter syndrome?"

:wtf:

[Gogi]

110. Here I am, risking a lightening strike, to get my 2 cents in.

Bad weather descending on me from the northwest. It occurred to me today that the internet and 24 hour cable news are the two worst things to happen to our state legislatures. They were invisible before but now they get exposed like the cockroaches they are! This guys been in office too long, ditch him!

:loveya:

[Greylyn58]

48. OMG!!!!

What a freakin jerk!!!!! You sir, are a bastard!!!!

[Patsy Stone]

49. The pretty girl TV what???

Is this guy for real? "You're really not very bright." OMG!

[Greylyn58]

51. LORD HAVE MERCY!!!!

and I have to live next to this guy here in NC!!!! OMG!!!!!! What a whackjob!!!!

[Berry Cool]

80. I am still trying to pick my jaw up off the ground

from where it has dropped.

I cannot BELIEVE that guy! He's like something out of the nineteenth century!

KO did the smart thing by just letting that tape run for as long as he did and letting him dig himself a deeper and deeper hole with his unbelievable comments.

I once knew a victim of domestic violence, so this is close to my heart.

What a Neanderthal.

[Berry Cool]

154. I still can't get over this guy...

...he found a way to totally get around answering a female reporter's question by telling her she was "unintelligent" and "really not that bright" and "demonstrating ignorance" for even asking the question! "You're not very bright, and you're just going to have to live with that"!

And kept saying how barbaric and uncivilized and inhuman and savage it was to have cockfighting, and that domestic violence was somehow not the same because a) tickets aren't sold to it (yeah, like THAT makes a difference to the women abused!) and because some women keep going back to the men who abuse them! And he implied "the women want to punish the men!"

Sometimes I am just amazed.

[Patsy Stone]

53. I love "Hot Legs"

Why is Jay Leno dissing Bob Kur? There are no ugly doggies...

[Clark2008]

54. OMG! They're playing Rod the Mod's "Hot Leg's"

for an ugly dog show!

:rofl:

[gkhouston]

56. Hey, has anybody heard anything from/about Miami Liberal?

Seems like ages since she dropped by. Just wondered if she was doin' okay.

[Patsy Stone]

63. Wondered myself

Last I heard she was taking a break from DU. You don't think she's become a Repug do you? :shrug:

[gkhouston]

64. Doubt it.

Maybe she's swamped at work? Or just wanted to change everything in her life? As long as she's doing okay and knows she's missed, I'm good.

[bleever]

57. What did Keef just apologize for? I missed it.

:shrug:

[Berry Cool]

82. He apologized for the Sound Bite on Bob Kur

who apparently is a friend and colleague of his. The segment itself was taken from Leno but KO said something like "I don't think it should have been on his show and it definitely didn't belong on THIS show."

He also said he didn't realize it was coming.

I expect it will already be excised from the midnight rerun, which makes me wonder how they will replace it--with another Sound Bite, or just cut them out altogether?

In any case, someone on the Countdown staff is gettin' a spankin' from the Big Guy tonight. Guess he's a tad sensitive when it comes to making fun of broadcasters for the stuff they do when not on the air. At least if they're friends of his.

[Clark2008]

93. Someone else asked that

and answered it here:
http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=109x20459

[bleever]

96. Thanks guys. I thought some obscenity had slipped in on a tape,

but I also thought it out of character that KO would poke cheap fun at some guy warming up his face.

He's better than Leno, and even though Leno is a comedian, it's still a cheap laugh.

[WhirlyGirl]

97. It was funnier when the Beeb did it to * ...

. . . Was he ever pissed! :rofl:

[bleever]

113. Hey WG, do you know of any archived link to this?

I've been searching since it happened, but it seems to have been "expunged".

:hi:

[WhirlyGirl]

114. I have it in my files which are like Fibber Magee's closet. Will look--

. . . for it in a bit here... hope you're not in a hurry!

[bleever]

117. Since I'm too late to stop the war,

no big hurry.

Thanks.

[WhirlyGirl]

221. Just remembered the TITLE - which is a good thing because ...

. . . I can't find it in my files (big surprise).

Anyway, it's called "We Begin Combing in Five Minutes."

I Googled it, and the title came up several times in the search results, so you should have it shortly.

[RevCheesehead]

156. Just a note on the rebroadcast:

Top 3 soundbytes: Frog lady, Jon Stewart on DeLay (concealed weapons), and Ugly Dog Show.

So, what'd they substitute? Jon?

[gkhouston]

224. must have been. I don't remember a Jon Stewart clip on DeLay

I thought the Kur bit was a cheap shot and not that funny when I first saw it on the Leno show, but to be fair, Leno said after the clip that Kur had given his permission for the clip to be shown and he was speaking of Kur in a respectful manner.

[Clark2008]

59. Keef said, "boob" in prime time!

Uh oh! Does that mean he'll get a fine from the Reich wing running the FCC now-a-days? :scared:

[Patsy Stone]

60. He said, "boob." :)

And why didn't they show any of the Anna Nicole footage?

[gkhouston]

62. because then he would have had to

stand up and YELL it. :-)

[Berry Cool]

83. Yeah, and between that and all the times he said "cock"

we should all be begging for ice packs!

[Patsy Stone]

85. LOL!

Sometimes he just keeps saying, "marijuana". :)

[Patsy Stone]

61. LOL!

He's known him since 1981 -- so long that this was the second "Phil going to the Today Show going away party" KO's attended!

[bleever]

65. How come these miracles are so lo-res?

I mean, can't the Lord come up with at least 96 dpi??

[gkhouston]

67. bad bleever

you is wicked.

How come he can't come up with ones that speak in tongues? :silly:

[Patsy Stone]

71. And I heard two of them were card tricks. :) n/t

[Patsy Stone]

69. The Domain Game!

Rogers Cadenhead. Pope Hialaruis. :) It still makes me smile. I love that he wants one the Pope's hats in exchange for the domain.

:thumbsup:

[gkhouston]

70. let's start thinking of names for the next Pope

because I have a gut feeling this one isn't going to be around for long. Could be wishful thinking, but you never know...

[Patsy Stone]

72. He's a "Transitional Pope".

That's what they said. I still say, Pope Fabulous I. With apologies to Eddie Izzard. :)

[gkhouston]

73. Vatican Vodka. A new brand for people who want to be

squiffier than thou. :7

[Botany]

76. They picked an old pope because of all the P.R. they got .......

..... from the funeral. I bet they did not pack their funeral
decorations. Bet ya the stuff is in the closet by their front door.

[gkhouston]

77. Fine with me, but they really need to get some smoke grenades

from Hollywood for the next election. Or flags (the Jolly Roger would be a nice touch, I think). Oops, I'm busted. The kiddie's home. See you guys tomorrow.

[bleever]

88. The "Hello I must be going" papacy.

I could never belong to any church that had someone like me for a member.

[Patsy Stone]

94. :) But I think you're mixing your metaphors.

And nice new sig, bleev. :hi:

[bleever]

119. What, have I made an error in my application of Marxist theory?

And, thanks; I was hoping the sig line would work.

:hi:

[WhirlyGirl]

74. No, Keith, despite what O'Liely may have told you ...

. . . you'll never be superfluous, on "Countdown" or any OTHER show!

:loveya:

[gkhouston]

75. but if he feels that way, he can just

sidle over here anytime. :loveya:

[WhirlyGirl]

81. Hi, gk. It's the old humble bit, but he does it so well ;-)

. . . Adding:

Just read thru the whole thread and this one has quite a high laughs/inch ratio.

[Berry Cool]

84. Well, it would be tempting to come up with News Quiz questions

for tomorrow, but something tells me that if they were not solicited, there ain't gonna be one. And you know what that means...

...another Friday with Alison.

Bleah.

At least he could have WARNED US this time!

[WhirlyGirl]

86. I've decided it's easier to take his schedule one day at a time.

. . . It would be easier on us if he took all his extra vacy time at once, but I don't think he'll do that.

[Berry Cool]

92. Maybe I should try a work schedule like that!

I should call up my boss and say "You know, from now on I'm going to let you know every day whether or not I plan on showing up for work. I'll be day to day. We're all day to day, you know."

Something tells me it wouldn't go over well.

OK, OK...but forgive me for my dour emotions just now...I was just looking forward to a whole week, and the first News Quiz in six weeks, and now I can't help but feel it was all for naught. *sigh*

Please help me. I need an intervention here.

[WhirlyGirl]

95. 'We're all day to day' ... Didn't think I'd miss that one didja? LOL

. . . He's been hearing about quiz withdrawal all week. Maybe he'll take pity on you.

He's a self-proclaimed liberal, after all, so he has a heart. :loveya:

[Berry Cool]

143. Quiz withdrawal? Is that anything like premature evacuation?

*sigh* I suppose we can always hope! But better not count on it!

[Nothing Without Hope]

98. Hello people! The prince of video clips, dzika has translated the papal

conclave Puppet Theater clip into Real Media, and we Mac users can SEE IT!!!
http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=315&topic_id=2839&mesg_id=2993&page=

:loveya:

Thread is short tonight, what's up?

[WhirlyGirl]

103. Finally!

105. Sure - right now it's only in the Mac thread.

I'll find a NATURE PHOTO and post that into this thread now.

Isn't dzika sweet? He made a house call to our clubhouse!
:loveya:

[WhirlyGirl]

106. Saw he already did it, so edited my post to a simple appreciative floatie!

. . . Hi, Hope! :hi:

Didn't know if I said hi earlier.

[Nothing Without Hope]

109. Hello WhirlyGirl- I don't think I said it earlier either!

Weird day, and I got here after most people had left. Short thread, too.

Wanted something special to see, so I hunted down a good red-tailed hawk picture in Google Image. I love those birds, always have.

[Berry Cool]

169. Indeed!

Thanks, dzika!!

Now, asking politely, would it be possible to get that second and last episode, please? Pretty please??

[bleever]

120. Shall we therefore proclaim dzika as PVC?

And his work really enriches DU, doesn't it? The Daily Show clips, the key catches...

He's the rear view mirror without which this vehicle wouldn't be street legal, let alone so sporty.

[Nothing Without Hope]

130. yes, you're absolutely right, bleev! I already told him in the clubhouse

that he was welcome to permanent free drinks at KOEB meetings. Maybe we should make it "official." He really is such an asset to all of DU! And it's an important one.

[Nothing Without Hope]

107. NATURE PHOTO of the day - Red-tailed hawk in flight (not my photo)

[WhirlyGirl]

112. Whoa!

. . . Very inspiring photo.

Btw, how the heck can people tell red-tailed from the red-shouldered from the sharp-shinned? I never could. They all make the squirrels scold and the sparrows clear out faster than an EDV on a Thursday night! :scared:

[Nothing Without Hope]

True, the squirrels and the sparrows know to fear them.

Red-tails are easy to spot - they have the copper-colored tail when they are adults, and they are BIG birds, with those broad wings. (They are in the broad-winged hawk family and love to soar.) When they are juveniles, they don't have that characteristic tail coloring, and then they are hard to tell apart from the others. Red-tails are also bigger than the sharpies, which have very different-looking legs in addition to being smaller and lacking that copper tail. Red-shouldered hawks also don't have it, but they are rather similar to the red-tails in many other ways. The squirrels and sparrows flee from them all. And they do help keep those populations controlled.

Wonderful creatures.

[CC]

121. Haven't made it to bed yet

but was reading what you wrote and wanted to add, when they are hunting and zero in on their target they do not notice anything else around. Unfortunately when the food is near a highway they do not notice cars around here many have been hit because they dove in front of one. I have learned to watch the sky in certain areas here in case. I do not want to kill a red tailed hawk (or anything else). I joke though it is based on truth that to get to work I weave through deer, rabbits, squirrels and birds like you see stunt cars weave through cones to get there safely without killing anything including myself. Luckily they seem to have places they use by habit, except the squirrels which are suicidal.

[Nothing Without Hope]

123. Thanks CC! We've had a real plague of squirrels on the east coast these

last couple of years. Looking at it all as a system, I'm happy that the hawks help keep them controlled. The squirrels eat baby songbirds and anything else they can get, they really upset the balance. I've seen estimates that half the baby songbirds are killed by squirrels. They are basically cute rats with fluffy tails. The hawks are vulnerable in so many ways, and they breed much more slowly than squirrels and stay at low population density.

You already know how fortunate you are in living in an area so full of natural wildlife.

Good to see you!
:hi:

[CC]

137. Hi Hope

Hubby called thinking (rightly) I would still be up to say he is actually on his way home. There are an awful lot of squirrels on here but I just can't stand the thought of running even a suicidal one over.

It is great to have all the wildlife until they eat you impatiens or hit your car. (Know a few people that had deer hit their cars, not the other way around.)

[Nothing Without Hope]

146. Hi CC! I feel the same way. I would NEVER deliberately kill a squirrel

or even a mouse. I catch spiders in the house and carry them outside. (I have always admired spiders.)

But I'm glad that for the balance of things the hawks keep the squirrels controlled. It's good for all the animals and plants in the system. High levels of squirrels means starvation and death for the others, iincluding some of the squirrels. I can't kill them, I even like the sassy things, but I'm glad the hawks are on the job as they have been since long before there were people to watch them.

[CC]

164. Well you are a better

person than me, cause spiders die here. But then I lived in FL with spiders that would attack you and bite. nasty things.

[Nothing Without Hope]

178. Those I would go after, it would be war after all. The ones I'm talking

about are the little garden spiders that harm no one. I don't want them to starve, so I put them out where there are plants and bugs to hunt.

[CC]

181. That would work as

long as someone else touches them. Found out even daddy longlegs bite. Just we don't notice it because they can't bite deep enough to bother people.

[Nothing Without Hope]

198. The baby ones that I recognize I use my hands for. For all the others,

I have my methods, Watson, and they do not involve bare skin.

[WhirlyGirl]

108. Taking a break - will check back at 11:30 & midnight to see who's here.

[CC]

118. another hit and run

had to still a video tape from work (with permission) to record KO later. Hoping he doesn't change the show at all so I can see all I missed. Have to get in bed early since Gizmo goes in early for surgery. Hopefully it won't be long before Gizmo can do this:



Good to hear about even a temp job Clark. Hope it pans out to permanent.
Please keep us up to date on Blue.

Another beautiful picture Hope. I have been slacking in that department too... have spent my time helping the students get their final portfolios ready for the end of the term. BTW we seem to have a pair somewhere close by as I have seen them almost daily. Soon I should be able to get some eagle shots. (If I can get a day to get set up and watch for them all day.) There are a few nesting pairs close by this year.



:loveya::loveya:KO :loveya::loveya:


KEEF

[RevCheesehead]

122. Anyone here for the late show?

I was "on the road" to Mom & Dad's, so I missed the lovely grey suit the first time around.

But what's the story with the tie? It looks vaguely familiar. :)

[Nothing Without Hope]

124. Gouda evening, Cheese! Missed you earlier

:hi:

[RevCheesehead]

125. Hi, Hope

How are you doing tonight? :hi:

[Nothing Without Hope]

126. Still sorta shaky from something that almost happened. But OK

I saved this for you from an earlier search - it's made of Cheese doodles, so I though it could be something for ClassWarrior. Though I suspect he doesn't look much like this...

[RevCheesehead]

128. OMG! That is WONDERFUL!

I'm gonna PM the link to him! :loveya:

So, what's going on?
PM, if you prefer.
Ruth

[Nothing Without Hope]

139. I can put it here because it has aspects we should all think about

My 23-year-old daughter, who works on the opposite coast in California, was very nearly killed in a highway car wreck yesterday afternoon. Miraculously, she escaped all injury, though her car is a mess and she was T-boned (as they say) at high speed by a SUV.

It all happened very fast, starting when someone bumped her sideways in a way that caused her to lose control of her car and spin 360 degrees. 3 other cars then were involved in the accident. No one was seriously hurt. Amazingly, someone from her work (which was far away, she has a long commute) witnessed the end of the accident and was able to take care of her. She's home and fine. The number of weird "synchronicities" with all this, which I won't go into, are phenomenal. I knew something had happened before I heard about it, too.

So I'm still shaky, thoug she's fine and it looks like they'll repair her car over the next 2-1/2 weeks. Witnesses corroborated her description of what happened. The one who caused the accident never stopped.

She told me that when it was happeneing she thought this was it, she was going to die.

But she didn't.

[RevCheesehead]

144. Wow - you must be a mess..

It's bad enough when something happens to us individually, but when it involves our family, that's another thing.

Thank God she's OK.

And here's a :hug: for you.

[Nothing Without Hope]

151. Thank you. I'm flaky and shaky and nondirectionally anxious, if you

know what I mean. I'll take a walk later and then listen to some calming music like Native American flute music or some Tibetan singing bowl recordings I have.

I would be a true mess if she were at all injured. I can't bear to even consider if it were worse than that.

I posted this here so we can all stop and think how quickly important things, the central things, can change.

[RevCheesehead]

166. Everybody kiss everybody - right now!

It never hurts to be reminded of what's important.

I'm at Mom & Dad's now. Mom is very sick today (a possible reaction to her injections). She can barely move. I had to help her to the bathroom, fixed her something to eat (she wouldn't eat all day), and help her get back into bed. My dad is exhausted - I can see it in his eyes.

When Mom laid down, I laid down on the other side of the bed, held her hand, and started singing (all the good stuff she used to sing for me as a kid). It was one of those moments that you know will be etched in your mind forever. As she fell asleep, I just stroked her hair, and silently prayed, giving her to God's care.

Life is indeed precious.

:grouphug:

[Nothing Without Hope]

188. I understand. Yes, the reminders are important. So is sharing them.

Disasters and near-diasters on this level don't happen all that often. So sharing them means we can get more wake-up calls. And I have to look at it as a wake-up call, since she's all right. It was weird that I knew something serious had happened before the phone call. I didn't know what it was, but I couldn't sit still.

In giving your mother this loving care you are being fed too. You don't have to feel that you are on the outside with nothing to offer or do to comfort or make things better. I'm glad that you have that. Being without it is the worst kind of starvation.
:hug:

[bleever]

173. So very glad for you that she's okay, Hope. n/t

[Nothing Without Hope]

197. Thanks Bleev. I recall you saying something about your own children

so you will understand. She is on the opposite side of the country, yet that thread of connection is there and so vital, even when it is silent.

Some things are too much to think about.

[Berry Cool]

176. So fortunate, Hope. Thanks for posting this

Can't be surprised you are shaken up.

Life is a fragile thing and we take it far too much for granted, don't we?

[Nothing Without Hope]

194. Taking it for granted is a built-in survival mechanism

If we worried all the time about what might happen, we'd be paralyzed - and that does happen to some people. But it often goes too far into desensitization, going along to get along. Wake-up calls can shake you out of that and give a chance at a fresh perception of what is precious. I mean you know, but you need to be reminded to KNOW.

[Nothing Without Hope]

127. Here's another one - maybe he looks more like one of these

This is an art exhibit in Santa Fe - details here http://photo.net/photo/travel/new-mexico.html (You have to scroll down pretty far. click on the little thumnail of the cheese doodle people and there are two larger sizes you can get - I'll post the middle-sized one)

[RevCheesehead]

129. I'm copying that for the Milwaukee meet-up next week!

Although, in my heart, there will be only one Cheezedoodle! :loveya:

[Nothing Without Hope]

132. If you want to print it out, go to the site and get the BEEEEG file

This middle-sized one won't make a good print.

The thumbnail with the cheesedoodle people exhibit is way down the page, some other nice images of landscapes and art are in between.

I'm betting it would give him a good twinkly-eyed belly laugh, and that's always worthwhile.

[Berry Cool]

159. Ah, so the Sound Bite got replaced with a Daily Show clip on DeLay

Good choice! Terror alerts on his level of friendship--LOL!!

KO also re-recorded the bumper to make it a straight "stories coming up" bumper rather than the apology it was the first go-'round.

Missed ya Cheese! Well, now we have lots off cheese, eh?

[RevCheesehead]

168. ha - it must be the new food pyramid...

Berries and Cheese.

Hey - isn't that what the Bay Airs ate??

(oops! :blush: didn't mean.... aw, crap!)

[Nothing Without Hope]

202. Yeah, those KOEB Bay Airs, always getting into trouble!

We'll have to come up with a new species name for them. They may LOOK like black bears, but they clearly have an entirely different mental outlook! And the things they like to watch! Not your average bear.

Maybe it's something in that Gull Bay/Crimson River water. I've suspected it for some time now. We could bottle it and finance DU in perpetuity!

[crispini]

131. I'm here!

I'm pretty sure ours has wider stripes.

Man, I'm wiped. How are you?

[RevCheesehead]

133. Ah, just in time for Oddball

Are you busy battling the World Politic?

[crispini]

136. I was in a party tech committee meeting

from 6:30 to 10:00. Just shoot me now.

Thankfully, it was productive, but jeez, I'm tired.

The Microsoft groupie there was really drinkin the koolaid. At one point I felt it necessary to stir the shit by bringing up that Washington gay rights bill today that Microsoft supposedly withdrew their support for, thereby ensuring it would not pass. Hee hee hee. :evilgrin: You should've seen the groupie tapdance.

[RevCheesehead]

140. you're a devil

I LIKE that in a person! :evilgrin:

[crispini]

170. Ah, but I wasted a good 20 minutes of the meeting by doing that.

I knew that would happen, but I just couldn't resist. :evilgrin:

"I don't belong to any organized party -- I am a Democrat." Will Rogers.

Truer words were never spoken.

[WhirlyGirl]

135. I'm here as advertised! Hi, Rev, crispini and Hope!

[RevCheesehead]

138. hi, whirlygirl!

It's nice to have company for the late show!

[WhirlyGirl]

145. It is indeed! Are you noticing KO is doing the right elbow-lean for me?--

. . . And his eyes are all twinkly, so he's been reading my tributes, obviously (;-))

[Berry Cool]

180. Yeah, suuuuure, he's JUST doing it for *yoooou*!

*sticking out tongue* -- do we have a smilie for that?

[WhirlyGirl]

189. I'm tellin' ya - he started doing it more after I said on the board that--

. . . it pleases me. Can't just be coincidence. This is an ordered universe!

And a Keith World! (We just live in it.)

:loveya:

[RevCheesehead]

191. We sure do.

:P = : + P

[Nothing Without Hope]

142. Hello WG, Crispi and Cheese! Short thread tonight, compared to many

Keef nights.

[WhirlyGirl]

150. Spring fever, maybe?

. . . Are they gonna show the f-up again, or are they taking it out, do you think?

I wouldn't wanna be that person. Just to get called down by KO would be an experience few would forget.

[WhirlyGirl]

153. Ah, they replaced it with a Daily Show clip.

[Nothing Without Hope]

158. Yes, I doubt he chastises his staff often, and when he does, it would be

because he had very good reason to. They would understand that. He wouldn't have to say much to bring he point home VERY clearly, and they would never forget it.

More sign of character in Keith that he made the apology - not passing the buck or ignoring it or thinking it didn't matter. It's a big difference between his idea of humor and that you see on a lot of late-night shows where making fun of absolutely anyone is considered the easiest laugh. I used to greatly dislike the early David Letterman shows for that reason. He was rally nasty and condescending, calculating. Maybe he's mellowed since then - I don't watch any of them now so don't know.

[WhirlyGirl]

167. I think I'd want to crawl off and die ...

. . . if I worked for him and caused him any embarrassment. Everyone there seems to admire him so.

[Nothing Without Hope]

174. For good reason. I'm betting his staff is very loyal and work their

butts off for hiim. He's said things along those lines in some of blogs. So I'd think they'd be absolutely mortified at a mistake like this, one that he felt he had to apologize for on the air. :scared:

[Berry Cool]

192. You know what's really weird?

I dreamed last night that KO was my boss and he was chewing me out on the job!

It was really weird because I dreamed that I worked at a job where part of my responsibility was going live on the radio for two hours, and never having had to go live on the radio before (I don't work in the radio business), he was all mad at me because I had somehow skipped the two hours of coverage he had scheduled me for. I dreamed I had received no training for this work (which in real life is also true), and that I didn't even realize he had scheduled me for two hours of airtime until he came after me and chewed me out! "WHERE WERE YOU? I had you on the schedule for TWO HOURS! And you didn't even GET ON THE AIR!" I remember thinking this was terribly unfair of him too, because nobody even told me, and nobody gave me any idea what to do or how to handle it!

Dear me, I feel as if someone else on Countdown sorta lived out my nightmare tonight!

I woke up, quite relieved to realize it was only a dream, and then thought "How come if I'm going to have a dream about this guy, it's going to be that he's my boss, and he's yelling at me? Why can't I dream about him and me in a situation that's, er, um, happier, if you know what I mean?

[Nothing Without Hope]

206. WOW! It's the KOEB version of the classic "Exam Dream"!

That's that very common dream where a person has to take an important test they haven't prepared for, and sometimes there's extra stress like realizing they're naked. Classic anxiety dream.

So what YOU'VE had, my dear, is the Exam Dream translated into the world of Countdown! You are REALLY a natural KOEBer! I'm impressed!!!
To the Ties That Bind!
:toast:

[RevCheesehead]

210. ah, but was she nekkid?

;) (just for the official minutes of the meeting, ya know)

[Nothing Without Hope]

212. We'll have to get a full report on that - Inquiring Minds etc. etc.!

:evilgrin:

[Berry Cool]

215. Thanks, but I'd be more impressed if...

I had actually dreamed that I was naked, and that we both noticed this, and that he then said, "Look...forget about the radio schedule. I'm sure I can find...better things for us to do."

I have exam dreams all the time. To this day. And in my exam dreams, it always turns out that I registered for a bunch of classes ages ago, and am only now realizing that I never bothered to attend any of them, and now I actually have to figure out how I am going to pass all of them despite having forgotten I even registered for them in the first place.

Ironically, I imagine KO felt much like this himself his last semester at Cornell.

[Nothing Without Hope]

219. LOL - yeah, you're a KOEB natural all right

IThanks, but I'd be more impressed if I had actually dreamed that I was naked, and that we both noticed this, and that he then said, "Look...forget about the radio schedule. I'm sure I can find...better things for us to do."

I bet with all the pressure he lives under, Keith is well acquainted with his own equivalent of the exam dream. Like maybe getting up to give his broadcast and going blank on what he was supposed to say, or, more classically, finding he was naked or in some other very embarrassing focus of disdainful attention.

And maybe he still has deams of taking an exam back at Cornell.

[RevCheesehead]

134. Kangaroo dung?

"Up until now, that had been the exclusive right of Australian media magnate, Rupert Murdoch." :rofl:

[CC]

141. He'll sue

Hi Rev how is Roo

Hi Whirls welcome back.

Hi Crispini

Getting tired but watching Keith (will not say what the hub said when he heard he was on) but trying to wait up for the so called hub to get home. And watching Keith.



on edit Murdock will sue over the use of the dung. He has exclusive rights to BS of all kinds.

[RevCheesehead]

148. You are so right, ferrettessa!

I think Murdoch has a trade copyright on all manner of excrement. :)

[CC]

162. Somewhere on here

I read how at least in AU he was going to go down soon finacially...but have no idea where right now. Supposedly he is good at getting loans but not so good at actually making money. We can hope.

[WhirlyGirl]

155. Hi, Ferretessa!

. . . I saw your earlier animation. It was real cute!

[CC]

160. Thanks

and sent you more directions.

Will wait patiently for you to post a picture one day.

[WhirlyGirl]

163. I'll try to get it together this weekend. Thanks for the help, CC!

. . . Already had some pics show up accidentally, as I said! :shrug:

[CC]

165. You're welcome

and were the accidentally pics good ones?

[WhirlyGirl]

171. One was the beautiful poster - "Only one newsman told the truth" ...

. . . Remember that one?

[CC]

175. Yep and it was great

and the kind of accidentally post pics that won't make a person turn red.

[crispini]

147. WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS ASSHOLE SAYING?!!!!!

WHO THE HELL IS HE? WHAT THE FUCK? HOLY CRAP!

WHY DOESN'T THIS CHICK JUST SLAP THE SHIT OUT OF HIM RIGHT NOW?

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH!!!!!!!!!!!1

[crispini]

149. I just screamed so loud the cats ran out of the room.

WHO IS THIS ASS AND WHAT THE FUCK WAS THAT ABOUT?

[CC]

157. She gave him plenty of

rope he ever needed to hang himself. Say goodbye to a political career and most female friends and hope his wife finds a crow bar.

[RevCheesehead]

177. I doubt it.

He was in SC, right? There are plenty of "deep South" pockets where this kind of thinking is par for the course. I experienced much of the same in NC, and served in some places where the KKK was still active.

Those are scary MFers. :scared:

[CC]

187. One day maybe they will

be dragged into the 16th century. And unfortunately have a clan presence around here. Though the good side is when they were trying to hand out literature in the closest town people let it fall to the ground instead of taking it.

[WhirlyGirl]

161. 'WHY DOESN'T THIS CHICK JUST SLAP THE - - - -'

. . . I was wondering the same thing. I think he used the shock & awe method of dealing w/ questions he didn't want to deal with. (The reporter's just now recovering.)

What'll you bet, he'll be a one-termer?

[Berry Cool]

203. He definitely shocked and awed ME!

I still can't believe he said all that!

[crispini]

152. Ok, but how many REAL frogs does the frog lady have?

I have several in my front yard. :7

[crispini]

172. I just feel like posting this.

Mmmmmmmm!

[RevCheesehead]

182. And once again, you are right about the TIE.

I should never have doubted your wisdom and shopping expertise. O8)

[bleever]

183. Note to Keef: if I know ms. crispi, this is all about

giving that ass-hat all the air time he needs (and more) to perform his own lynching, without anyone else even getting the smell of rope on their hands.

KO: if possible, keep us updated on his fundraising, after this little media event.

:yourock:

[crispini]

195. I needed something to calm me down

after practically having a coronary in my own living room over that extremely offensive RW nutbag. They should warn us. It kept getting worse and worse. I threw all the pillows at the screen and the cats just freaked. :mad:

Does anyone remember his name? I think I'll pull it off the transcript tomorrow and figure out a few good ways to harass him. Maybe I will send him dog poop or something. :mad:

[RevCheesehead]

199. Cat-poop would be handier.

Your poor kitties.
I scare the shit out of mine when I watch the Packers or a good Duke game. You'd never know 15-yr-olds could run so fast!

[WhirlyGirl]

179. This website guy is so droll, he needs his own show. Wait'll you hear him-

. . . play w/ KO at the end of the interview!

[CC]

184. Saw it

and for those who don't know, St. Augustine an awesome place...and explains him so well.

[Berry Cool]

205. Ah, *now* I heard where Keith mentions "tomorrow"

where he says "This guy can do the show himself tomorrow, without me" or some such thing.

Of course, he could be using that as his setup for ducking out on the Friday show! He'll let Pope Website Guy do it! LOL!

[WhirlyGirl]

209. He said "tomorrow"?

. . . And what's Alison gonna say about THAT?! :nuke:

[crispini]

185. Wow. Worst Dan Abrams tie EVAH!

He continues to impress with the badness of his wardrobe, most especially the pimpadelic ties. I'm beginning to think it's an in-joke or something.

[RevCheesehead]

186. AACK!

Someone should have posted a Dan Abrams Tie Warning!
(can you say Pimpadellic?)
We'll have to have a word with the early evening crowd about that.

[WhirlyGirl]

190. Rev, you still here?

[RevCheesehead]

196. yes, ma'am.

[WhirlyGirl]

200. Ah - sorry, I started reading those gripping posts upthread. Holy cow--

. . . What draining experiences for both you and Hope.

I just wanted to ask you if you saw the comment for you on the meeting thread a couple nights ago about the Gull poem; and the religious cat joke last night?

[RevCheesehead]

207. No, I think I missed those.

I'll check them out later - maybe tomorrow night. We'll see how things go tomorrow with Mom.

But I'll add one pleasant note: Mom's computer is hooked up via Cable modem. I have GOT to get me one of these! :woohoo:

[WhirlyGirl]

211. We just got the cable modem on Valentine's Day and it makes all the dif--

. . . when the thread starts getting long.

Do you know where to find those two items? I could just repost it.

[RevCheesehead]

214. Yeah, I can find 'em.

It'll be fun to re-read the threads again.

Another trick I've learned is to use the "Mark" feature. I don't read a lot on ERD anymore, so after traffic dies down (around 8:30 here), I hit "mark". Then all the new posts are in yellow, and the ones I have read are in white. Easy to find the new additions that way!

[WhirlyGirl]

218. Oh. Well, you won't FIND them in Mark - that's for sure!

. . . :rofl:

I'll type out the Gulls poem if you think you can use it. It's William Carlos Williams.

And the flying cat story is religious & hilarious, but has nothing to do w/ popes.

[CC]

193. Well all hear the truck

pulling into the driveway so going to say goodnight. Will hopefully be here for the early show tomorrow night. Take care, sweet dreams when you go. Have a great day tomorrow. (Bleever too that just came in)

[RevCheesehead]

201. Nite, Ferrettessa!

Nite, Gizmo! (and all the others)

[WhirlyGirl]

204. The truck? Not keeping up with these posts very well... Nite, CC!

. . . CC you tomorrow. Early or late doesn't matter. :hi:

[CC]

222. It was probably

me being hard to understand. Hubby drives a truck and heard him pulling in. So left to say hi and night and went to bed. Off now to take Gizmo to the vets.

[Nothing Without Hope]

208. Good night, people. Be well.

:hug:

[WhirlyGirl]

213. G'nite, Hope. Glad your daughter came out of that accident okay.

. . . :hug:

[Nothing Without Hope]

216. Thanks WG - have a good nigh and enjoyable dreams.

O8) :boring: O8)

[RevCheesehead]

217. Hey, Girl - I'll see ya tomorrow!

Goodnight, and pleasant KO dreams! :loveya:

(I don't have my photo stash here, so you'll have to imagine one of Keith all on your own. But somehow, I don't think that would be a problem for you, would it??)

[WhirlyGirl]

220. 'Nite, Rev!

. . . I won't tell my #1 about any KO dreams. :loveya:
