KOEB Meeting: 12/05/08 -- OJ's Finally Guilty Edition

[Patsy Stone]

And... Jack Black's in da house!

:hi:

[Berry Cool]

1. And we're finally in a recession

And Keith is finally the sweet, sweet present under my tree...oh no, wait, that's only on TV. And in my dreams. :-(

:hi: Happy Friday! How the hell are ya?

[SeattleGirl]

2. Hi Patsy! Happy Friday to you and everyone!

It's cocktail time!!!



(Non-alcoholic versions are also available.)

:hi:

[Berry Cool]

4. Thanks and clinkies!

:toast: I'll have alcohol, thankyouverymuch. I've got to do some work this weekend, and I was really looking forward to having it all to myself. Oh well. At least I still have a job.

Has Barney Frank been listening to Rush Limbaugh, that he's blaming the recession on Obama?!?!?

[SeattleGirl]

10. Clinkies back atcha!

I have so much to do this weekend, so this is my rest stop.

I can't understand why Frank is ragging on Obama to do more. He can't. He isn't the president yet, and while I agree that George is worthless, there still is this little thing called the rule of law, which Obama seems inclined to follow.

:hi:

[Berry Cool]

23. Unlike the Bush Administration, yeah.

Following the law...what a concept!

:hi: Glad to see ya, SG!! At least I'm not alone in having to work.

Oh, and don't you just love the pic of Shiny Happy Keith?? :loveya:

[SeattleGirl]

25. I do love that pic of Keith!

And it's so nice to be here. It's been driving me nuts that I haven't been able to watch when I'm still stuck at work.

[greenmutha]

29. "I haven't been able to watch when I'm still stuck at work."

I can relate to that, SG. But, I only have to worry about that problem two days a week for the foreseeable future, unfortunately. :-(

[SeattleGirl]

34. I know.

I read your post.

That sucks, greenie.

Are you going to be able to go back to full time in the future?

[greenmutha]

44. Not a clue.

My boss has two businesses, one of them selling used cars, and that's the one I work for. It certainly doesn't look too promising with the economy in the crapper. I'm probably going to be moving to Mesquite, Nevada the first weekend in January. (I've been "going to move there" for several months; now I have a little impetus pushing me in that direction!)

[Berry Cool]

45. Well, I hope all works out for the best for you.

For sure, no one knows what's happening next. Maybe if I owned a funeral home, I'd feel my income was safe.

[greenmutha]

48. LOL!

Death never takes a holiday, huh?

:hug: Thanks for your well wishes, Berry.

[SeattleGirl]

46. Fingers crossed that you are fully employed again in the not so

distant future!

[greenmutha]

53. Thanks, SG.

:hug:

[ralps]

7. Hi SeattleGirl!!! thanks

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

[SeattleGirl]

12. Hi ralps!

Love the kitty gif!

[greenmutha]

22. SG, I swear...

you have all the BEST smilies! (I'm stealing from you again!) :evilgrin:

[SeattleGirl]

27. Steal away!

I have tons of them. Firefox add-on!

[greenmutha]

16. Mmmmm.. yummy!

I'll have the purple one please, loaded with liquor! :hi: SG!

edited 'coz I'm having a hard time typing tonite - DOH!

[SeattleGirl]

21. Help yourself!

There's plenty for everyone!

[Patsy Stone]

32. I'm slow getting here

I hope there's one left. :hi:

Bush said his presidency was "fun" and he had a "fabulous" time. :mad:

[SeattleGirl]

35. Patsy, there are always cocktails for you!

[Patsy Stone]

60. Thanks, hon!

You know damn well that if Obama does anything about anything before he's sworn in Republicans will spend the rest of his presidency trying to investigate him for it somehow.

[SeattleGirl]

61. Exactly!

I was listening to Ed Schultz today on my way to an appointment, and he had John Tester on. John was saying the same thing; if Obama tries to make any solid moves right now in governing, he will effectively shoot himself in the foot with the Republicans.

[greenmutha]

36. He had a "fabulous" time... raping the country!

What a total a-hole! Can't we PLEASE open our new President NOW?

:hi: Patsy!

[bleever]

3. "If you brought a piece,

We can't release."

RIP, Jackie Childs.

[Berry Cool]

8. "If you threaten over memorabilia, I wouldn't wanna beili-ya."

Good one, bleev. :hi:

[Patsy Stone]

9. "Your face

is my case."

:hi:

[SeattleGirl]

Hi bleev!

:hi:

[ralps]

5. Hi Patsy! Hi Everyone! Another Christmas Kitty gif

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

[Patsy Stone]

30. Hi, ralps!

How are you and Crook this evening? :hi:

[ralps]

38. We're doing good! How are you?

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

[Patsy Stone]

40. We're all well, thanks!

Jake and Molly say meow to Crook.

[greenmutha]

6. Happy Friday Everyone!

:hi: Greetings from the mountains of Utah where it is a balmy 30 degrees this evening. :scared:

[Berry Cool]

14. Hi ralps and greenmutha!

:hi: I'm broiling myself some lovely sirloin tip steak marinated in red wine, steak seasoning and garlic, smothering it with caramelized onions and serving it with some homemade fries. My consolation prize to myself for having to do work. :9

Oh, and the wine is shiraz--sorry, no Merlot in the house. :rofl:

[SeattleGirl]

18. Hi Berry!

I'm having either Chinese or teriyaki.

Have to wait until MrSG gets home to find out.

Either is fine with me. I'm hungry!

[Berry Cool]

33. Sounds delicious!

I'm reading Jonathan Alter's book of Newwsweek columns. Very good.

I am so sick of looking at and hearing Bush that I can't even stand seeing him and his attempts to backpedal and rationalize everything anymore. Am I alone here???

If I don't post a lot, it's because either Blinko, or DU, or both are very slow for me tonight. Every time I post, Blinko freezes and then takes forever for the picture to catch back up to the sound.

[SeattleGirl]

39. You are definitely NOT alone!

I think that's the sentiment of most people these days.

[greenmutha]

19. YUM! I'll be right over!

:rofl:

[ralps]

20. Hi BerryBush, That sounds yummy!

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

[Patsy Stone]

43. Yum!

Merlot is so five minutes ago anyway.

[SeattleGirl]

15. Hi greenie!

It's not quite that cold here, but is sure feels like it!

:hi:

[WolverineDG]

11. Karma's a bitch

Took long enough to catch up with his ass, though.

Happy Friday!!! :bounce: :bounce:

:hi:

dg

[Patsy Stone]

13. To everything, turn, turn, turn...

:hi: Happy Friday! :toast:

[Berry Cool]

17. Hi Wolfie!

:hi: Funny I should mention Merlot and you should mention Karma... :rofl:

:bounce: :bounce: Yeah, sometimes the wheels of justice grind in strange ways.

[SeattleGirl]

24. Hi Wolvie!

Someone over in GD was insisting today that this was double jeopardy for OJ.

Idiot.

It's not double jeopardy when you're being tried for a different crime!

[greenmutha]

26. Someone over in GD

is a dumbass! (Or should I say "several someones?") :rofl:

[SeattleGirl]

28. Several someones is right!

This person was essentially trying to argue that OJ was framed.

Um, dude, there were TAPES!

Sheesh, I know that black people are often unfairly targeted in this country, but sometimes, they actually ARE guilty of something. :eyes:

[Patsy Stone]

37. And Marion Barry was also framed

Don't forget. :eyes:

[SeattleGirl]

41. Oh, yeah.

Forgot about that one. :eyes:

[WolverineDG]

49. and in 2 different states

:eyes:

dg

[SeattleGirl]

51. Oh yeah.

There was that small detail too.

[Berry Cool]

52. I guess some people didn't do so hot in 12th-grade civics class

when they were supposed to be learning about the Constitution.

Oh well! :shrug:

[SeattleGirl]

54. Well, thanks to George Bush, the Constitution is in shreds, so I

guess people don't need to learn about it any more. :eyes:

[bleever]

31. Crazy Lefties

in da house! Woop woop!

[ralps]

42. Awwwww Polar Bay-airs!!

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

[greenmutha]

47. That baby polar bay air was the cutest thing ever!

:hi: ralps!

[ralps]

50. Hi greenmutha!

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

[Patsy Stone]

55. He was edible he was so cute.

Have I said hi, yet? :hi:

[greenmutha]

57. That pic just melts my heart.

Thanks! :hug:

[SeattleGirl]

59. Awwwwwww!

How cute! :loveya:

[Berry Cool]

67. Knut is way too cute!

[ralps]

56. Today's worst person in the world is Lauren(sp?) Henderson!! of Homeland Security

for hiring Illegal alien workers in her home! :hi: :loveya: :hug: :pals: :woohoo: :rofl:

[Patsy Stone]

58. Bunny Does South Beach

FYI: The hotel behind us is the one they used in The Birdcage.

[greenmutha]

62. Lookit you two!

How fun! One of these days... I hope to make it over to the other side of the continent again and meet up with the KOEB somewhere. (Or y'all could come to Vegas, the 24 hours-a-day city of non-stop sin; I'll only be an hour north of there when I move!) :evilgrin:

So, who is who in this photo? (Or is it whom?) :shrug:

[Patsy Stone]

63. I would love to go to Vegas.

I'm on the left, bunny's on the right.

The KOEB in Vegas would need to be a reality show, I think.

[greenmutha]

64. LOL! We'll give "Real Housewives" a run for their money!

:rofl:

(on edit: I guessed right on the photo! :toast: Y'all are exactly how I pictured ya! :grouphug:)

[SeattleGirl]

65. You two are so cute!!!!

And hey, if it's Vegas, I'm there!

I love that city!

[Berry Cool]

66. We should invite Keith.

What happens with Keith in Vegas stays in Vegas.

Well, actually, it would stay in my memory forever, given the right occurrences. But hey. :evilgrin:

[SharonRB]

69. I'm late to the party

Like a day late. I was feeling really down last night when I got home and I just didn't feel like getting online. Vegas sounds like a great spot for our next meetup, actually. There are usually pretty good fares from most places, I think, and the weather isn't too bad most of the year -- other than being way too hot in the summer. We went once in December and it was freezing, though. Spring sounds like a good idea.

[WolverineDG]

68. Hi youse guys!!!

:loveya:

Yes, yes, yes! Let's *do* Vegas!! :)

[bunny planet]

70. Ironic that 'Sunny' Von Bulow just finally passed away.

'Ol Claus was the earlier version of the husband who got away with (almost) murdering his wife.
Oy, I'd forgotten what a scandalous story that was at the time, I'd actually forgotten she was still being kept alive on life support.
