[Berry Cool]

"Hi. Let's you and me talk tonight...

...assuming I'm here, that is."

--K.O.

[Patsy Stone]

1. I feel the Apology Hall of Fame coming up...

:hi:

[Berry Cool]

70. Hey, he surprised us!

No reruns!

My favorite old suit is back!

Snark served up hot 'n' fresh through the whole show!

Those who deserve skewering skewered with glee...

More true confessions about his own life...

It all adds up to ONE OF THE BEST SHOWS EVER!

:hi: everyone from Berry After the Show!

[Patsy Stone]

2. The music is getting louder

and the dances are getting faster... Simply brilliant!
:loveya:

[SharonRB]

3. "His Own Private Idaho"

LOL

[Patsy Stone]

5. So good!

Hi, Sharon!

[SharonRB]

6. Hi, Pats!

[Berry Cool]

71. That was a great ref--"his own private Idaho"

I love how he can just toss those off!

[merh]

4. I made it home in time to watch the show

:bounce: :bounce: :bounce:

Hello everyone! :loveya: :loveya: :loveya:

[SharonRB]

7. Hi, Merh

Nice to see you again. It's been a long time.

[merh]

13. Thanks for the welcome!

:hi: I got to leave early because thunderstorms had the power popping on and off. The lightning was damn close so we shut down the computers and left as soon as the rain let up.

So happy to be here. :-) :loveya: :loveya: :loveya:

[Patsy Stone]

23. I have a "hurricane day" on Friday

and I'll be leaving work early tomorrow. Getting ready for a whole lot of rain.

[merh]

24. I saw that Katrina is expected to be a hurricane before she makes

land fall. Please be careful out there. :hug:

:loveya:

[SharonRB]

Are they expecting it on the whole east coast of Florida?

Or just the southern end? My daughter hasn't said anything and she lives in Jupiter and works in West Palm. She does gift fairs at senior residences and I'm not sure if she has anything scheduled for Friday.

[Patsy Stone]

31. They don't know, but it's looking like Broward/Palm Beach.

http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/refresh/graphics_at2+shtml/204604.shtml?3day

Next update at 11 p.m. Even if it is a hurrricane, it's gonna be a Category 1. On this, the anniversary of Andrew, I can't get worked up about anything under a 3. :)

[SharonRB]

33. Sounds like I better warn her -- she doesn't watch much news

[Berry Cool]

73. We can only hope

that Katrina doesn't become Katrina and the Waves.

Because if it does, the Sunshine State won't be...well, make your own lame joke here.

[Patsy Stone]

8. Hi! Great to see you!

:toast:

It's a wonderful show so far!

[SharonRB]

9. I feel so bad for this guy

[Patsy Stone]

14. I wish I had a job for him.

Unbelieveable. :crazy:

[SharonRB]

18. My husband has been out of work for two years

I told him maybe he should call Keith and go on the air to look for a job.

[Berry Cool]

76. Maybe.

It sounds like this guy may get an offer soon. If he doesn't, maybe someone will have called in wanting to talk to him.

I wouldn't put it past Keith to try to pull a string for him.

[Clark2008]

10. The only decent news show on television!

Keith, :yourock:

:loveya: :loveya: :loveya:

:hi: ladies! (And the gents who love us!)

[SharonRB]

11. Hi, Clark

:hi:

[Patsy Stone]

19. Amen, sister!

:hi:, Clark!

[Berry Cool]

110. Keith's getting MAJOR props tonight on DU for reporting

a story they broke...that the anti-anti-war protest is not as "grassroots" as it was intended to look.

By the way, there's a term for this...when a marketing group or ad agency attempts to market or sell a product or idea by creating an artificial movement in support of it that appears to have sprung up spontaneously so as to appear more convincing. It's called "astroturfing."

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

Keith.

[merh]

15. It's so good to see you Patsy!

:hug: I've missed the KOEB! :hug:

Yes, the show has been good so far! Of course, Keith is the greatest! :hug:

:loveya: :loveya: :loveya:

[Patsy Stone]

16. He is just that!

You know we're here all time. :)

[merh]

26. I know I should come back more often.

Good folks post here and there is lots of love floating around. :grouphug:

:loveya:

[seito]

20. Hi Mehr

:hi: Nice to see ya!

[merh]

28. Good to see you too seito!

:hi: Thanks for the warm welcome back. :pals:

[bleever]

35. merh, you made it! Welcome.

((((((:loveya:)))))

[merh]

38. How are you bleever?

So good to see you! :hug:

I have missed you guys! (((((((KOEB :loveya: ))))))))))))))

[bleever]

44. Tanned, rested, and ready

to keep stirring the anti-* cauldron.

:hug:

[merh]

51. So happy you are tanned, rested & ready (and a tad jealous).

I haven't had a vacation in so long, I need down time. I hope some of your recharge energy rubs off on me! :hug:

And I so love the stirring of the anti* cauldron! :evilgrin:

:loveya:

[seito]

12. LOL

If you turned in to the 700 club to find out who to kill...

:hi: Kids Keef wasted no time in getting to the good stuff

[Patsy Stone]

34. Snark-a-rrific!

Hey, lady! :hi:

And for KO: :loveya:

[seito]

39. I've been slacking...

:hi: back atcha

KO :loveya: :loveya: :loveya:

Great show tonight!

[bleever]

37. I loved that line too. I think I laugh more at KO than any other show.

:hi: seito! How are you?

:)

[seito]

40. Hey Bleev

Doin good. Nice to see you.

[Patsy Stone]

17. Is it possible that when I think he can't get any better

He pulls that, "What's this? What's the nodding?" thing.

And a "damn Liberal media!" joke.

:loveya::loveya::loveya:

[Berry Cool]

77. Patsy, he was on and smokin' tonight

in the RIGHT way!

:loveya: to Keith for noticing what NO ONE ELSE has probably commented at all about: the way the interviewer was just nodding, and nodding...

[bleever]

21. After Pat Robertson and his nodding buddy, we still get Oddball.

Plenty of good snark right out of the gate tonight.

:hi: all you snarkloving EDVs.

[Patsy Stone]

29. They gave Coulter an eye patch last night

Didja see? She was like your anti-dream date.

:hi:

[bleever]

32. Frankly, I felt violated. An insult to eye-patch wearers everywhere.

And, my anti-dream date? I'd say more like a nightmare than turned bad.

:hi:

[Patsy Stone]

41. Yes

She's definitely "The Dud" in the Mystery Date box. :)

[bleever]

46. I don't think that version of the game is gonna sell well AT ALL.

LOL.

:)

[Patsy Stone]

50. Nah, it's all in the marketing. :)

Remember, strangely the freepers think she's hot. :crazy:

[Berry Cool]

78. Hey, don't insult The Dud like that!

One of my sisters thought he was the sexiest guy in the '60s version of the game. She WANTED to open the door and find him standing there.

We won't comment on what that tells us about her adult dating life. :rofl:

[Patsy Stone]

81. I have to say

After I wrote that, I realized I always like The Dud, too. He was the coolest one. The others were boring and kinda dorky. :)

I think your sister and I could hang out.

[crispini]

85. ya know, I also played Mystery Date as a lass...

and I can't for the life of me REMEMBER any of the others... EXCEPT "The Dud." :rofl:

[Clark2008]

95. I don't remember any of the rest either... actually.

[Berry Cool]

105. "Duds...

"...nothin' but duds."

[Patsy Stone]

106. Mine was the groovy 70s version :)

http://www.doyouremember.co.uk/images/memorabilia/Board+games/mystery-date-board-game.jpg

[Berry Cool]

111. We had the groovy '70s version, too

in addition to the '60s version...and used to "load" it...

[Patsy Stone]

117. That was a great idea.

Do you remember who some of the guys were? David Cassidy, perhaps? :)

[Berry Cool]

122. LOL, I know Rick Springfield was one of them.

This was actually in the mid-'70s. I had a sister who loved Rick before lovin' Rick was cool.

[Berry Cool]

98. Which only goes to show

The "bad guys" get remembered the best.

Even if we women don't ALWAYS pick them (nod to Clark!).

Actually, my sisters and I used to "load" Mystery Date with our own choices of hot guys. We'd cut pictures of celebrities out of magazines and tape them to the doors!

LOL, I could play today! "Can you collect all your cards to be ready for a date with...The Newsman?"

[crispini]

108. Hahahaha! That's brilliant!

I believe we have our first scheduled activity for a future KOEB meetup. Only we make it into a drinking game. :evilgrin:

[bleever]

112. I nominate this as the best sub-thread of the week.

:thumbsup:

[Berry Cool]

113. Sounds great. "Get so drunk that when Keith arrives to pick you up...

"...he REALLY has to pick you up."

Just think. You'll be barfing on the subway in front of everyone, while Keith chivalrously tries to hide you with his jacket. :-)

[Clark2008]

114. Yeah, but who would be some of the other "dates?"

Seems like this would be an appropriate time to start posting pool pics, doesn't it?

:evilgrin:

And my b/f thinks we've all gone insane! :7

[bleever]

116. Hannity. Scarborough, with a mullet. "Dan" Coulter.

[Patsy Stone]

118. Is this the "All Fox" version?

I think I'd barricade the door if that's all I have to choose from! :)

[bleever]

120. Don't forget: Joe's on MSNBC. It's the Right Wing Talking Head

version.

Hey, would KKKRove be just too repulsive?

[Patsy Stone]

121. Yes.

Do you really need to ask? Wow.

Joe should be on Fox. It's cosmically unfair that he's not.

And, in that case, you forgot Tucker. :)

[bleever]

129. As I recall, on the commercial the "Dream" looked a lot like Tucker.

God help the good girls.

:7

[Berry Cool]

123. I believe those would be the "Duds."

And I really wouldn't want to play a "Duds. Nothin' but Duds" version!

[Berry Cool]

124. Who would the other dates be? I vote for Ralph Fiennes.

Sweetie, you can garden me constantly anytime you want.

[Clark2008]

125. OK... I'll admit..

I have a thing for Jason Lee.

[crispini]

127. Let's see, how many are there?

1. The Newsguy - Keith, of course.
2. The Actor- I'm going for Viggo.
3. The Politician- How about the oh-so-yummy Wes Clark himself?
4. The Musician- Hmmmm... who would be hot?

and, of course, The Dud - and he'd REALLY be a dud - Scarborough! :rofl:

[crispini]

128. Oooo, the Musician...

Gotta be Lenny Kravitz.

[Clark2008]

133. I've already been on a "date" with Wes Clark

Geesch!




:rofl:
(Special note to Gavin and Gert: NOT REALLY!!!!)

[Botany]

22. Damn Liberal Media!

:rofl:

Pat when they have you on tape ..... it is hard to deny something you said.

Assassinate ..... "I never said that. I said take him out."
Come on Pat bring out the lesbian witch stuff too.

:hi: drive by

[SharonRB]

25. Hi, Bot!

[Patsy Stone]

30. Rush-bo

denied his own tape. It's SOP for these boneheads. Change the rhetoric; dodge and weave; make up new bullshit and repeat.

:hi:

[seito]

36. LOL

Judging by the models, I think this form of exercise must not burn off that extra "starch"

:hi: Patsy

[Berry Cool]

79. At least he has been called on it!

Even on Top 3 Sound Bites! For the second night in a row: "You spin me right 'round, baby, right 'round..." :rofl:

[bleever]

43. Al Franken played a great clip of Robertson blaming homosexuals

for divorce and abortion.

"Whack job" is right

:eyes:

[Berry Cool]

82. Yeah, the question is...

...who's he whackin' to? :evilgrin:

[Berry Cool]

100. Well, you know, after the gays got done causing 9/11

it just wasn't enough for them, so they had to go invent divorce and abortion to further ruin America, which they hate.

[bleever]

115. He described all homosexuals as "self-absorbed narcissists"

which seemed not only repetitive, by fairly ironic coming from someone who considers himself God's consigliere, here on earth to tell us who Jesus wants killed.

:eyes:

[Berry Cool]

99. Oh, it's not hard for Pat to deny it at all.

Just hard for him to be BELIEVED...

[Patsy Stone]

27. Hey, Muff!

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=315x17354

They heard you! :)

[Muffstser]

49. Just got home! Did they cover it???

That thing is SOOOOOOOOOO hideous...

[Patsy Stone]

52. Yepper

Even described the plunging neckline on the gown. :)

[Muffstser]

64. I love it!

Man, that thing is hideous. The bird bit and Dodi's shirt were what got me!

[bleever]

42. Chicago Italian beef!! Mmmmm...Italian beef...

One of my all time favorite foods, along with strawberry shortcake.

Can't get the real beeves here in CA. :(

[bleever]

61. Feast your eyes.

Also, my nomination for one of my favorite domain names ever:

chicagobestitalianbeefsoupscateringrestaurants.com

[Patsy Stone]

65. Well

They knew no one else had it...

[Berry Cool]

84. I think the name of that domain is almost as long as the acronym

Dana Milbank was talking about tonight for the War Formerly Known As The War On Terrorism.

But now simply to be known by an androgynous pro-war/anti-war symbol.

P.S. The sandwich looks yummy.

P.P.S. Who put snark in Milbank's cornflakes? This is the second time in a row he's come armed with funny props!

[crispini]

45. Ola ladies!

Como esta? :hi:

[bleever]

47. Though I'm no lady, I'm still glad to see ya.

:P

How are you, crispi?

:hi:

[SharonRB]

55. I'm taking another DC poll

Anyone here tonight planning to go to DC next month? I think DG said she was going. I'm going with a few other DUers from around here.

[WolverineDG]

75. yep, still planning on it

i'm really trying hard to convince my friends to fly & not drive, but the one who really wants to drive doesn't want to fly because it's "too much hassle." yeah, as opposed to 48 hours round-trip in the car... :crazy:

i may just plead "but i have court on friday & monday" & fly in. :)

that way, i'll have time to go to the DU meetups! :)

dg

[SharonRB]

80. We're flying

The bus wasn't an option other than as a very, very last resort. I would have considered sharing driving (it's only about 9 hours), but airfares were down and gas is up, it made way more sense to fly and be rested when we got there. Flying is way less hassle than driving 24 hours each way.

We get in early Friday afternoon and are staying at the Capitol Hill Suites. We're leaving late Sunday afternoon.

[WolverineDG]

88. that's what i keep saying

ok, to catch southwest, i'll still have to drive to san antonio, but hell, it's $215 to BWI, & we can catch the metro into DC!! (ok, have to catch a bus to the greenpoint station, but still better than a cab.) I think we'd end up spending much more on gas than on airfare & we'd have time to wander around DC if we got into town early enough on Friday.

dg

[crispini]

109. Well, if both you ladies are going, maybe I'll go too.

I really want to go, but the friend I was going with still doesn't know if she's going to be free. The only thing I'm not really thrilled about is that I'd be getting at like midnight or 1 am on Friday. I do not like getting into strange cities so late.

Is everyone staying at Capitol Hill Suites? That seems to be the choice of many DUers.

[SharonRB]

131. We are.

And right now it looks like we have room for another person in our room. Four of us are flying together, but one gal booked a room that doesn't have room for all of us, so I had to book another for two of us and we've got a queen and a sleep sofa.

[WolverineDG]

136. please do!!

:) it will be cool to have a mini-koeb meet up in dc!! :party:

dg

[SharonRB]

130. Hope to see you at the meetup Friday night

and on Saturday. We all need to wear nametags with our DU names so we make sure we meet!

[WolverineDG]

134. meet ups?

I'm so out of it. Donde esta esta informacion, por favor? ;)
I don't know where I'm staying at this point, but I've got feelers out for a hotel in Alexandria that's on a metro line, so no biggie if I can't get into the capitol hill suites. :)

dg

[SharonRB]

137. Look around in the DC forum

Unfortunately, the bar where the Friday night meet up was going to be burned down today and they're looking for a new place. Details will be posted in the DC forum. There's also going to be a meetup for breakfast on Saturday before the rally, location yet to be determined, as well as something Saturday night. I forgot the name of the place. LynneSin is organizing everything and I'm sure she'll post final details when the time gets closer.

[gkhouston]

135. Wolfie, you can take a train from BWI

to Union Station for less than $10 one way. Union Station is on the Red Line, and if memory serves, it's not far from Metro Center, where you could switch to the other lines, as desired.

on edit: M-F, you can use MARC, which is only $6. For trips on the weekends, you'd have to take Amtrak, which is $14. Not sure what your travel plans are. Both would take you from BWI to Union Station.

[Berry Cool]

101. Wolfie, just wanted to say

thanks for the Crawford pix. Ya done good. :hug:

[WolverineDG]

107. no prob

didn't get the greatest page nod, tho. :( thought folks would like to see some more pics! :)

dg

[crispini]

56. Hi Bleev!

I'm doing much better today!

There was a shout-out to you last night! arrrrrr! :7

[SharonRB]

48. Mui bien, Cristi

Y tu?

[crispini]

57. I'm feeling better!

Went to my pin doctor and have much relief. :D

[SharonRB]

58. My hubby finally stopped going for acupuncture two weeks ago

After about 12 treatments, he finally stopped having pain.

[crispini]

60. It's such a blessing, isn't?

I tell everyone how wonderful acupuncture is.

[SharonRB]

67. We were beginning to think it wasn't going to work

and then one day he went in for his appointment and told the doctor he hadn't had any pain for a week, so they cancelled and stopped treatment.

[DemReadingDU]

86. Hi all, driving by

saw the discussion about acupuncture. I personally have not been treated, but I have a sister who swears by acupuncture. There seem to be more people nowadays who are coming to the realization that they do indeed get relief from alternative methods (acupuncture, chiropractic), and forgoing the expensive prescription drugs that most times cause additional side effects which the doctor prescribes even more drugs. Arrgh.

[crispini]

93. It's great, isn't it?

Works wonders.

[DemReadingDU]

96. My sister says so

and we're all into chiropractic

[Berry Cool]

87. You know, they say...

...acupuncture can help you quit smoking??

Which reminds me, LOVED hearing Keith's true confession tonight. Good for you, Keith. You finally threw it all away. I had a sneaking feeling you hadn't. I was right.

[crispini]

92. That's how my mom quit smoking.

Of course, the acupuncturist mostly terrified her into quitting. :rofl:

[Berry Cool]

102. LOL!!!!!!!

"You must quit smoking...or I will stick these needles into your body and twist them until you stop..."

[Patsy Stone]

53. Fantastico! Y tu?

And Brit Hume as the Worser Worst Person in the World.

[crispini]

59. Way better!

Ok, rock star body parts -- pffft. How about famous newscaster body parts? :evilgrin:

[Patsy Stone]

74. Anderson Cooper's

split pants. :)

[crispini]

83. hee hee hee hee!

Poor Mr. Suave. So much for the coolness factor! :rofl:

[Berry Cool]

104. Hey, did anyone see Cooper on Iron Chef America the other night?

I didn't know they were picking news guys to be test tasters. Can Keith be far behind?

Can't you just hear him now? (Homer Simpson voice) "Mmmmmmm...sea urchin ice cream."

[Berry Cool]

91. "Famous newscaster body parts..."

...you mean, someone would vote for Keith's eyebrows?????

[Berry Cool]

89. I have to give him hats off for voting Victoria Gotti Worst

for crying wolf about something NO ONE should cry wolf about.

:loveya: Keith

Well, I don't really HAVE enough floaties for him tonight.

[Botany]

68. Y gordo hombres tambien

:rofl:

Fresh Gull Bay for you ........ "Hero Girl"

[Clark2008]

90. Hi Crispini.

:hi:

How's Texas?

[crispini]

103. Howdy Clark2008!

Hot. But we're on the downside. It is possible to enjoy August, secure in the knowledge that it will be 100+ for only a few more weeks (instead of months!) :P

[Muffstser]

54. Victoria Gotti - Worst Person in the World!

Oh, she EARNED that.

[Muffstser]

62. Bruce Springsteen isn't singing out of his butt.

Priceless.

[Berry Cool]

94. If Keith thinks Bruce doesn't "use" his butt,

and needs schooling in why certain people find men's butts sexy, I'd be glad to play instructress. :evilgrin:

[Patsy Stone]

63. Tina got hosed!

Her legs are much better than Madonna's navel. My .02. :)

[crispini]

66. LOL! An Oasis joke.

somebody go tell LoZoccolo. :rofl:

[Patsy Stone]

69. "They're in for the unibrow!"

LOL. And how cool that that was the first band KO thought of.

:loveya:

[crispini]

72. Very cool.

He's our guy. :loveya:

[Berry Cool]

97. Maybe it was the brows.

But I gotta ask...did this Marc Spitz strike anyone as being either drunk or under the influence of...something? Methinks he looks like he raided Rush's medicine cabinet just before going on camera. It was all Keith could do to get coherent answers out of him.

Oh, and his bangs looked as if my mother cut them. :scared:

[Patsy Stone]

119. Good night, all!

I'm gonna watch Sex and the City and go to bed and read Harry Potter. I've been savoring it, one chapter at a time. :)

[Berry Cool]

126. In that case, Patsy, here's a nice picture to think about in bed.

Ralph Fiennes as Voldemort.

Oops. Well, ordinarily, I myself LOVE to think about Ralph Fiennes in bed, but maybe not in this form.

Hope you can sleep.

[SharonRB]

132. I finished it way too fast.

I bought it on the Saturday morning it came out and had finished it by Sunday night. I thought it would take me all summer and I'd have no time to read anything else.

I'm just about done with the Franklin Cover-up and am totally freaked out that this stuff could have happened. My hubby thinks I'm wearing a tinfoil hat, but I told him when he reads it after me, he'll believe it. It's so scary to think that something so horrific could have been covered up by so many people.
