KOEB 10-27-08 - There's trouble in McPalindise edition

[SharonRB]

:hi:

[SharonRB]

1. Oh my

Keith is very purple tonight. We'll have to call him Keith Olberbarney.

[Berry Cool]

2. LOL!!!! Keith is in Philadelphia!!! I WONDER WHY...?????

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

:hi: Sha-Sha and all who follow!

[SharonRB]

3. Hi, Berry

:hi:

[Berry Cool]

4. When does the first pitch go out

and is the car right outside Keith's studio with the motor running? :rofl:

[Patsy Stone]

5. This time you got the date wrong.

:)

[Berry Cool]

7. LOL, it's only the 27th.

I guess we can't wait for the 4th to come!

[SharonRB]

9. ROFL

:rofl:

Thanks -- I fixed it. Guess I'm in a hurry for this week to be over.

[Patsy Stone]

11. I was laughing so hard

I couldn't type. LOL!

Obama's coming back here on Wednesday. This time, I'm doing it!

[SharonRB]

14. Yes! You must!

You've been given another chance, so you have to take it.

[Patsy Stone]

15. And it's late enough in the day

and close to work, and inside!

[SharonRB]

16. Hurray!

Now you just have to deal with the crowds, not the heat. Get there as early as you possibly can.

[Patsy Stone]

19. Doors are at 4:30

So I'm thinking of leaving work around lunch and going over there. Once I see what it looks like, I'll be able to gauge the sitch better. It's an arena, so at least there's a lot of parking.

[SharonRB]

22. Are you going to take the afternoon off and stay when you go there at lunch?

Or are you going to scope it out, go back to work and then go back?

If doors open at 4:30, it's best to get there at least a couple of hours before that if you possibly can. You'll get a better seat.

[Berry Cool]

28. Pats, did you see the post someone made yesterday about the best way

to get to shake his hand and get an autograph? This person gave explicit instructions about how to do it. You should follow them. Wish I had!

[Patsy Stone]

32. I saw the thread, but I didn't have time to read it.

I'll go find it, thanks! :thumbsup:

[Patsy Stone]

30. I'm going to stay.

I meant more that if there were already 30K people there at lunch, I was going to give it up.

[SharonRB]

33. Got it.

You're wise to stay at that time. Bring something to read. You'll have fun talking to people in line. If you have one of Obama's books, bring it so if you get close enough you can give it one of his guys and they'll take it for him to sign and get it back to you. I told Rev to do that and she did and was able to get an autograph.

[ralps]

6. Hi SharonRB, Hi Everyone!

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

[Patsy Stone]

8. 8:04 p.m. and no Keith yet.

What was up with that?

:hi:

[Berry Cool]

10. Hi Pats and ralps!

:hi: What, you didn't see Keith at the beginning of the show?

[Berry Cool]

13. Keith asks why Obama made his "closing argument" in Ohio, but missed the real reason.

OBAMA LOVES US!!!!

And, oh yeah, our flag was designed especially for his rule as Potentate. :rofl:

[Patsy Stone]

18. Chris said and "Countdown with Keith starts right now!"

and then they proceeded to play four minutes of commercials. At 8:04, there was still no Countdown. Hmmmm.

:hi:

[SharonRB]

20. It was 7:56 on our clock when he said it

And then we had commercials and KO came on at 8.

[Patsy Stone]

23. What time does your computer say right now?

Mine says 8:17, as does my cable box across the room

[SharonRB]

24. 8:17

[SharonRB]

26. 8:18 now

[Patsy Stone]

29. Okay, so I got that goin' for me, which is nice.

:) Thanks.

[Patsy Stone]

27. I started this thread at 8:04. There was no KO on my TeeVee

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=315&topic_id=134397&mesg_id=134397

Am I in a different temporal sphere? :scared:

[Berry Cool]

31. Maybe Keith doesn't love you.

:rofl: Or maybe he's left early for the ballgame and left us with a replicant.

[Patsy Stone]

34. :(

Only on my TV? :cry:

I think it was an ever so slight shift in the space/time continuum.

[Berry Cool]

41. Keith missed his ride in the DeLorean.

What a great night this will be. Keith hitting on all cylinders: Hasselbeck, Lie-berman, Stevens, and for the big finish, Ashley Todd!

Oh, and Barbara West to boot!!

[SharonRB]

35. That's bizarre.

When I started the thread at 8:02 I think the intro was over.

[Patsy Stone]

38. I know!

I went to see when you started it. And that lead me to believe there was a little bitty shift in the continuum. :)

[Berry Cool]

45. I've got it. For a few brief seconds, Keith was abducted by aliens.

We still saw him, but you didn't.

[Patsy Stone]

56. More likely

the stoner kids who are running the A/V equipment at my cable station were abducted by something.

[Berry Cool]

21. For me, Tweety said that at about 7:55 or so

and Keith came on right after the commercial block at the usual time. Weird, but sometimes they do that.

Keith says he hasn't gotten a real feeling for the political mood in Philadelphia while he's been there. Well, that'll happen when you spend all your time in a city AT THE BALLPARK!!! :rofl:

[ralps]

25. Hi BerryBush!!

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

[Patsy Stone]

12. Do Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid really look so scary?

They haven't done shit.

[Berry Cool]

17. McCain says "Fear their sternly worded letters."

:scared:

Keith has a weird backdrop tonight. It's like a weird empty neutral background. Not like a news studio at all. Any second I expect him to pick up a box of laundry detergent and start pitching it like some announcer from the '50s.

[Berry Cool]

37. Sarah Palin is a rogue elephant.

She's snapped a tether and attacked a coolie.

[Patsy Stone]

40. Diva!

"Divas trust only unto themselves!"

[bleever]

36. Like Elizabeth, Palin's about to come in fourth too!

You go, girl! Really: please go.

:hi:

[Patsy Stone]

43. I'd rather she go out first.

Followed closely by her new BFF.

:hi:

[WolverineDG]

39. Evening everyone!

Here I am, stuck in an MSNBC-less hotel room again. :cry:

:hi:

dg

[Patsy Stone]

42. Stream it, woman!

Doesn't that work?

:hi:

[WolverineDG]

46. oh yeah! Linky? nt

[Patsy Stone]

47. Voila!

http://www.channelsurfing.net/watch-msnbc.html

[WolverineDG]

[Berry Cool]

49. Here

http://www.channelsurfing.net/watch-msnbc.html

[WolverineDG]

51. got it! are we on commercials?

cuz I've gone through 2 or 3 already....

dg

[Patsy Stone]

53. I just tested the link

and got about a minute and a half of commercials.

[SharonRB]

44. Hey, DG

:hi:

[WolverineDG]

50. yo!

oh one week until I can hear the magic words: Texas is too close to call! :bounce: :bounce: :bounce:

dg

[Berry Cool]

52. Guess we're giving Wolfie plenty of help.

:hi: Hi Wolfie! See, isn't this better than being dependent on the crappy hotel TV?? :bounce:

Oh, and if you click the little squarish thing with the arrows next to the volume control, you can get full screen size image, just like YouTube.

[Berry Cool]

54. Commercials are done now!

When is the damn NBC electoral map gonna color Ohio blue instead of yellow?!?!? :grr:

[WolverineDG]

55. Yup

:bounce: :bounce: :bounce:

btw,CPS is on its THIRD legal team & 2 of their top attorneys have resigned.... :evilgrin:

dg

[Berry Cool]

58. You're doin' well, Wolfie!

Keep it up!!

[WolverineDG]

57. I hope it's just my laptop monitor but

Keith looks like he's wearing an eggplant....

dg

edited because I'm watching on my computer, NOT a TV :dunce:

[SharonRB]

59. He does look very purple tonight

Upthread I said we'd have to call him Keith Olberbarney tonight.

[Patsy Stone]

61. And you were so right!

I was going to go back and find that post to compliment you on it.

[SharonRB]

62. Thanks!

Edited to add Barney.

[Patsy Stone]

60. Grape-a-licious!

He's dressed a bit like a Batman villain, IMHO.

[SharonRB]

65. I didn't know there was a villain named

Grapeman.

[Patsy Stone]

71. :)

Oh, yes... And he was SCARRRRRRYYYYYY! :rofl:

More like these. If he only had a hat:

[Berry Cool]

69. Do not adjust your laptop.

Keith IS wearing an eggplant! :rofl:

Well, I agree with his choice of Worst Person. I just wish he'd also been paying attention to the many incidents in which anti-Obama Halloween decorations have been just as offensive, INCLUDING that ghost hanging from a tree with the Obama sticker on it!! :grr:

[SeattleGirl]

63. I'm here, I'm here! Hi everybody!

[Patsy Stone]

64. Hi, SG!

Happy Monday! :hi:

[SeattleGirl]

67. Hi Patsy!

And to you, too!

[Patsy Stone]

72. This WPITW guy

sucks.

How's work?

[SeattleGirl]

74. Work is going well!

I get to meet with one of my Seahawks players on Wednesday. Woohoo!

[SharonRB]

66. Hi, SG

:hi:

[SeattleGirl]

68. Hey Sharon!

(I'd wave, but the bottom of my computer screen is being funky right now, and it's difficult to pull up the smilies!)

[Berry Cool]

70. Hi SG!!

:hi: Better late than never!

[SeattleGirl]

73. HI Berry!

[SeattleGirl]

75. Good comment, Keith.

[Berry Cool]

76. Excellent plea.

Too bad Grampy will completely ignore it.

[SeattleGirl]

77. I know.

He could restore a bit of the positives about himself if he did.

But he's too stubborn.

[Patsy Stone]

79. Worst.Campaign.Ever.

The Worst.

[Patsy Stone]

78. See!

Keith is still on here, and the comment isn't over yet. So, my cable company is off schedule.

[Berry Cool]

80. Well, that explains it.

Did you see what some of the GD'ers said about Keith's ensemble?

"He looks like he lost a bet with his old colleagues at ESPN."
"He looks like a Batman villain."
"He looks like a teenager's room."

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:
