KOEB meeting, Tues. 5-3-05

[WhirlyGirl]

Here's the jaunty, debonair newsman, full of snark and
ready to deliver the news "Olbermann Style."



:loveya:

[sparky_in_ma]

1. Hi Whirly

Bar is open

[WhirlyGirl]

2. Hi, Sparky.

. . . Good, I'm thirsty. Maybe I better
have a pitcher of 7&7s tonight.

[sparky_in_ma]

4. Is it just us tonite?

Hope your husband isn't the jealous type?:scared:

[WhirlyGirl]

8. Monogamous but not jealous.

. . . He knows I'm his total satellite. :-)

[sparky_in_ma]

11. Whew

We know I'm safe, but my reputation has taken a beating. I've been accused of boiler room antics. (It wasn't me, it was my doppleganger):D

[WhirlyGirl]

21. Those explanations have proven ineffectual. Besides ...

. . . Sam Elliot hasn't been seen in these precincts for quite some time. ;-)

[sparky_in_ma]

23. LOL

You have grown in snark in such a short time.:D

[WhirlyGirl]

30. Wellllll, hey --

. . . Look at who my teachers are!

[RevCheesehead]

27. Hey! I resemble those antics, too.

IIRC, it was the storeroom, not the boiler room.
And if you can have a doppelganger, so can I. :P

Just don't double-post as your own DG - that will get you banned for sure.
(I know it's coming: :spank:)

[sparky_in_ma]

35. LMAO

:spank: You KNOW you deserved that.:rofl:

[RevCheesehead]

(I take it you're "in the know")

You know the odd part? It's bringing together people who were at one time not speaking to one another. (I'll PM details later - I don't want us locked!)

Would you like a cigar with your Sam Adams? :rofl:

[sparky_in_ma]

48. It was interesting

but not surprising. (Damn, I would like a good cigar, but you know I can't now.):D

[RevCheesehead]

56. later, dear -

I don't know if this is a non-smoking bar or not. But even if it is, there's always the storeroom (if the paint is dry yet). :7

[sparky_in_ma]

58. Paint is dry

and you can definitely "smoke" there.:evilgrin:

[RevCheesehead]

66. in every way I can.

you say the nicest things. :loveya:

[crispini]

57. Oo, PM me some details.

I love good backstory.

[RevCheesehead]

74. will do,

O source of all knowledge on DU. (insert bowing smiley here)

[Clark2008]

Ohhh... pass that PM along when you get it!

I like good backstory, too!

[RevCheesehead]

86. Clark!

That sounds so - dirty! :spray:

[Clark2008]

42. Erm...

What does "IIRC" mean?

:blush:

[RevCheesehead]

47. if I recall correctly

and you're cute when you blush. :)

Hey, Clark! Glad to hear about the callbacks on the jobs! :thumbsup: (you'll be in my prayers)

[Clark2008]

63. Ahhh... usually I can figure those out.

Thanks.

Oh, and thanks on the prayers. I really like the two I have callbacks on: one would be fun as hell (it's a computer training center - I'm a nerd. I like that sort of thing) and the other is very stable - doing marketing at an insurance company.

The one I'm going on tomorrow is ironic. I used to work there. I was marketing assistant and they got rid of that position before my 90-day trail period. The director didn't get rid of it - the company did - and they made the marketing coordinator do both. Well, the coordinator's position is open, so I applied. I really liked working there and, even though they didn't have to since I was still on my probationary period, the director got me some severance pay. I already know the job, it's just a matter of convincing them that I know have the experience to do the coordinator's position.

[RevCheesehead]

77. That sounds like more than a coincidence to me.

I'll keep (just about) everything crossed for you, Clark! :)

[Berry Cool]

122. Same here!

Hoping something comes through for you Clark!

[gkhouston]

164. I'm disappointed

I heard it was your doppelbanger and was rather hopeful. :loveya:

[Clark2008]

7. LOL!!

That's a cute pic, Sparky.

But, erm... where are the suspender dispensers and bodice rippings? :7

[sparky_in_ma]

We keep a clean place

The dispensers are in the powder room, and I sweep up all bodices at the end of the nite.}(

[RevCheesehead]

51. It's true -

He sweeps them up, and whatever can be recycled, is recycled.

Sparky is "environmentally-friendly." :evilgrin:

[sparky_in_ma]

55. "Green" is our motto

Not grey.:D

[Clark2008]

3. Hey guys... running a little late.

Just got back from dinner at my friend's restaurant. Nothing like free Greco-Italian food and good company!

:hi:

[WhirlyGirl]

5. Evening, Clark --

. . . How's the job search coming?

[Clark2008]

9. I have two second interviews this week

and another first interview tomorrow.

I hope I can find something soon - going on all these interviews is tiresome!

[WhirlyGirl]

10. Wow, outstanding!

. . . This could be the week. Wouldn't that be great?! :bounce:

[Clark2008]

20. Oh, I hope, I hope, I hope! n/t

[WhirlyGirl]

46. We will have SUCH a celebration when it happens!

[sparky_in_ma]

6. Hi Clark

Free food always tastes better.:D

[Clark2008]

12. OK - why did popcycle stick MJ have a fake nose on?

Woo-hoo-hoo.

[seito]

13. Hi all

:hi:

[WhirlyGirl]

14. Hi, seito!

. . . :hi:

[seito]

62. Hiya WG

:)

[sparky_in_ma]

15. Hi seito

How ya doing?:hi:

[seito]

65. Hey sparky

Doin good

[RevCheesehead]

84. Hey there, Warrior Princess.

How's the fight for Democracy going? :patriot:

[seito]

87. Like the Energizer Bunny

still going... and going :)

[RevCheesehead]

89. Wow - just like ClassWarrior!

NGU - NGU - NGU. I like! :loveya:

[RevCheesehead]

16. Here I am!

My meeting got done early, so: Ta-DAH! :)

Is Keith snark-o-riffic tonight?

[sparky_in_ma]

18. Hi Rev

I loved your cheesehat!:D

[RevCheesehead]

22. thanks!

Did you know that it can double as a triple-coaster when you turn it upside down? That will help keep the bar clean (but my hair may be a mess at the end of the night).

[sparky_in_ma]

24. : )

I figured there would be a good chance on hair being messed up.

[gkhouston]

165. that'll get you through the first half-hour

of drinks... what happens after that? :7

[WhirlyGirl]

29. Hi Rev.

. . . Do you have a meeting every night?

[RevCheesehead]

40. I do this week. :(

that is, Wed/Thurs, since Friday is the start of my weekend!

We're actually getting a lot accomplished, as I teach them about shared responsibility in Church leadership.

[Greylyn58]

17. Howdy All

Checking in for my nightly dose of snark. And he is really dealing the snark so far... :woohoo:

:hi: my fellow KOEBers :grouphug:


:woohoo: :applause: :woohoo: :applause: :woohoo: :applause: :woohoo: :applause: :woohoo:



:yourock: Keith :loveya: :loveya: :loveya:

[sparky_in_ma]

19. Hi Greylyn

:hi:

[Greylyn58]

25. Howdy sparky

I see the bar is open. I'm not much of drinker, but I could do with a strawberry daquri!

Do you have such a beverage at your bar? :)

[sparky_in_ma]

39. I don't have the pic

but I can always whip one up.:D

[WhirlyGirl]

41. Here, Greylyn --

. . .

[Greylyn58]

45. Mmmmm...Thank You

I needed that. :)

[WhirlyGirl]

26. Hi, Grey! ... Woof, Sherry! ... Meeow, kitties!

. . . Yes, he is full of snark. He's been saving it up during those serious broadcast weeks.

[Greylyn58]

43. WOOF...WOOF!!

Sheridan is full of snark too. He's telling me he needs to go out. I'm trying to convince him to wait till after Keith, but he will probably win.



:evilgrin:

[WhirlyGirl]

50. LOL -- I think it would be best if Sheridan won!

[Greylyn58]

81. Sheridan won!!

:evilgrin:

[RevCheesehead]

88. That's one of the reasons I love my cats.

They take care of that themselves - I just gotta clean the box. :)

How are ya, grey? :hi:

[Greylyn58]

91. Howdy Rev!!!

I loved my kitties, but I love my boy Sheridan more. He's the best dog I've ever had. He's my angel! O8)

[RevCheesehead]

93. I saw a Sheridan doppelganger at the store tonight.

He was sitting outside, patiently waiting for whomever was inside. I just said, "Hi, Puppy! Aren't you beautiful!"

(I love doggies, too. :loveya:)

[WhirlyGirl]

103. Good! Vesicare's not good for a dog.

[crispini]

28. Hi ladies!

Here for the newscast. :hi:

[WhirlyGirl]

34. Hi, crispini!

[Clark2008]

31. Ha! "We're remiss all the time, so why should tonight be any different?"

:rofl:

[WhirlyGirl]

32. Snark AND singing!!!

[RevCheesehead]

33. Whirly, where did you get the KO drawing?

It's really cool! :loveya: for Keith

[WhirlyGirl]

36. From Salon, when he had his column there, I think.

[Berry Cool]

110. Yeah, I remember it from there

It's a nice touch, too...even if it's not...

EVIL KEITH.

(just a reminder...drawing contest entries due tomorrow night!)

[crispini]

37. Get OUT. Five million popsicle sticks?

:rofl:

[Clark2008]

54. Can you imagine the puppet theater Keith could put on with

all of those!

:)

[crispini]

78. LOL!

:thumbsup:

[Berry Cool]

109. OK, so who thinks the Viking ship was a shout-out

...is someone reading Gull Bay, perhaps?

Is someone itchin' for a Viking funeral? (enough to root for a popsicle-stick ship to sink)?

Too much!

Loving that music department tonight too! "Surf City" and the Thumbkin song!

[Greylyn58]

38. I Love It!!!! A World Class MOron!!!!

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

[CC]

44. Hi all, hope everyone

had a good day. Late since I was feeding Gizmo. Least wasn't late for KO. Did you all notice what tie he was wearing when he did the thumbs up in the bloggerman commercial?


For Grey, during the day MSNBC has done the story on that baby in TX. So maybe our emails got it at least some airtime.

[sparky_in_ma]

52. Hi CC

:hi:

[CC]

Hi Sparks

See they let you get home before midnight tonight. Hope you are resting up.

[sparky_in_ma]

70. I took a nap when I got home.

:boring:

[CC]

79. That's good

or at least should help. Helps some of the late nights to catch up some.

[crispini]

53. No, missed it.

Do tell.

[CC]

59. Normally I would miss it since the

tv is behind me. But I swear it looked like it was the TIE. Same colors, same stripe width. It was NOT the tie some mistake for the tie. And he had a very light shirt on with it, almost as though he wanted to be sure the TIE was noticed.

[crispini]

64. Oooo. Ok, what was the promo again?

It was for Bloggerman?

I'll need to watch more carefully in future.

[RevCheesehead]

61. No! Really??

Was it OUR Tie??? :thumbsup:
If so, that's his own personal signal to us! :bounce:

[CC]

76. Its a new Bloggerman one

and it looked like the TIE. And wish I had been taping the show. And if you had seem the look on his face with the thumbs up would say a big shout out. and he was standing. Anyone taping to check later? I almost dropped poor Gizmo.

[Berry Cool]

113. I will check and see

I was not around for the tie purchase, but I know which one it is.

[CC]

117. I was only a lurker but

have played with the tie pic enough. laffin Thank you. Let me know if I saw right.

[Greylyn58]

49. OMG!!! They have put that snake in a cabinet position

Jeez!!!! :argh:

[crispini]

60. Of course they don't care about gas prices!

They don't give a rat's ass about the average American!

And may I add that I HATE it when Blivet calls us "consumers." Fuck you, asshole. I'm a CITIZEN first and a CONSUMER second.

[sparky_in_ma]

73. and he did mention that

we weren't getting Iraq's oil.:thumbsup:

[Greylyn58]

85. Well said crispini!!!

God I hate that jerk and his smirk!!! :argh:

[Catchawave]

67. Hi Kids.....

I'm having American Idol withdrawl tonight ::::sigh::::



:loveya: :loveya: :loveya:

P.S. That's Constantine in "Rent"

[crispini]

72. Hi Catch!

Maybe someday I'll watch Idol. I get hooked on shows waaaay too easily, though, and it's hard enough keeping up with KO. :loveya:

[sparky_in_ma]

75. Hi catchwave

:hi:

[crispini]

68. They didn't show the best part of Jon Stewart last night.

Condi "ping pong ball" Rice.

:rofl: Where is Thumbkin! Bwahahahahahahahaha!

[WhirlyGirl]

154. That title didn't mean what it COULD have meant, guys --

. . . It was just a clever come-on to get us to read the post. :-)

I'll tune in at 11:30 and catch the re-air of last night's DS.

[WhirlyGirl]

176. I watched, and still didn't get it, so finally looked it up ...

. . . Yeesh - a reference to a January hearing!

You guys have a better memory for this stuff than I do. (Or maybe I'm just repressing anything having to do w/ Ms Ping Pong.)

[crispini]

177. Nah. it's a reference to an act in a Thai sex show

which would get this thread locked SOFAST if I posted it... :evilgrin:

[WhirlyGirl]

178. Okayyyyyyy ... guess I forgot for a minute whose show I was watching ...

[RevCheesehead]

69. Where is Thumbkin?

ROFLMAO!!! :rofl:

[Clark2008]

71. Where is Thumbkin, where is Thumbkin...

I am so :rofl:

:loveya: for the music department and :loveya: :loveya: for Keith!

[crispini]

80. J Lo = Idiot.

:puke:

Actually, I should rephrase that. She's probably very smart, I have no idea. But that was a pretty idiotic remark. :eyes:

[sparky_in_ma]

82. Tell us how you really feel about her

I sense you're holding back.:+

[crispini]

83. Anyone else get the Vesicare commercial

with all of the people made out of plumbing?

That commercial always makes me want to go out and solder some pipe.

Probably not the desired effect. :7

[Greylyn58]

96. You know what I always get out of all these drug commercial

The one thing I always notice when I see a drug commercial is all the side effects the advertised drug could cause. I always think "Why would I want to take this drug to cure one problem, but have it possibly cause 5 or 6 other problems"

I hate and loath all of these commericals... :grr:

[crispini]

102. Yes, I am against drug company commercials in principle,

but this one has animated people made out of plumbing. And since I really like plumbing, I find it humorous. Don't ask me why I like plumbing, I don't know. :P The drug advertised, btw, is one of those "don't wee in your pants" drugs, so I suppose if one had that problem, one would be not averse to trying it out, despite side effects. Is that problem really all that common? I mean, jeez, they advertise about three different drugs for it. Seems kinda rare to me. :7

[Greylyn58]

127. Actually I have seen it

as far as the commercial itself, I think it's kind of interesting from the use of plumbing figures to illustrate their drug and a bit funny considering it's a plumbing drug they are hawking.

[Berry Cool]

116. Me too. The one I hate most is Premarin.

You know what they make that stuff out of, don't you? They get the estrogen from the urine of pregnant wild horses that they capture, artificially inseminate, drain off the urine (by hitching them to catheters all the time), then abort the fetus and start all over again. Nice.

Remember, ladies, any time you see a drug whose name starts with "Prema..." the "Prema" stands for PREGNANT MARE.

Should be enough of a thought to keep you off hormone therapy for life.

[Greylyn58]

135. I think I heard or read something about that drug

and how it was acquired. I'm as disgusted now as I was then.

Eeeeewwwwww!!!!

[gkhouston]

166. and it's actually a really crappy form of estrogen for women, anyway

let alone the truly lousy way it's made. The plant-based estrogens are much closer to the human forms they're replacing and therefore thought to have fewer undesired side effects and risks. Whenever they come out with Yet Another Study about women and estrogen, always check to see what type of estrogen was used. (This PSA brought to you by the sister of a woman who had a hysterectomy and has been there, done that with HRT.)

[WhirlyGirl]

98. The phrase that jumped out at me was "controlling urges."

. . . They need a different way of referring to needing to pee.

"Urge control" made me think of Sparky. Why, I have no clue. :shrug:

[RevCheesehead]

104. because he is the master of self-control?

O8) (how'd I do, Sparks?)

[WhirlyGirl]

106. So you're his press agent now?

. . . Ari Fleischer never spun like that. :crazy:

[sparky_in_ma]

107. You're doing good

O8)

[Berry Cool]

126. Or is he just master of his own domain?

That is the question...

[RevCheesehead]

132. you mean like "Sparkyworld?"

Now wouldn't THAT be fun? :bounce::party::toast::woohoo::toast::party::bounce:

[crispini]

90. Now, this doesn't sound like a really reliable test.

How do they know it doesn't have something to do with the PARENTS? Maybe homely kids have dumber parents.

Correlation vs. causation, after all.

[gkhouston]

168. I was wondering that, too.

were they looking for parents who were shopping with two kids, one attractive and one not? If so, maybe the unattractive kid belongs to detested neighbor??

Was there an age correlation vis a vis belting kid into the shopping cart? Did they check whether the straps actually work? Nonfunctioning belts are pretty common.

[crispini]

92. "Scouting squad for MJ!"

oh SNAP!

[Berry Cool]

118. He's just on a snark roll!

And the hits just keep on coming!

Even the runaway bride story offered yet more opportunity to snark at news media who jump the gun!

And I got little palpitations when he said "reports are that they never...well, you know." (I think it was the sly face that was too much.)

[CC]

94. Is he hinting that

he wants a hat now?

[_q_]

159. Sure seems like it, doesn't it?

Tho, I don't remember ever seeing any pictures of him wearing one.
What kind of hat would he like? A fedora, the old reportorial stand-by? Nah, he hates Drudge. I'm sure he doesn't want to start dressing like him.
-q

[_q_]

160. Here we go...

-q

[WhirlyGirl]

174. ROTFL!!! -q-, I think most people missed this gem!

[CC]

179. Great pic.

Love that, you should send it his way. He may have a baseball hat collection to go with his cards. But can't remember ever seeing him where a hat.

[RevCheesehead]

95. Does Keith want a hat?

"size 7-7/8 head, and hard as a rock."

Someone write that down. (oh, wait - I just did!) :)

[WhirlyGirl]

100. Remember when I said he needed a hard-headed, soft-hearted woman?

. . . Now it turns out that's exactly the kind of man HE is!

KEITH! :loveya:

[Berry Cool]

101. Funny, those words got me so excited...

...I think I only heard the "size 7 and 7/8ths, and hard as a rock" part.

[RevCheesehead]

108. great minds think alike, Berry

because I went there, too! :spank: :evilgrin:

[WhirlyGirl]

114. Gosh! that thought never occurred to me ...

. . . O8)

[Berry Cool]

129. Cheese, are you spanking me up there

or is that self-flagellation a la the monks of old?

LOL!

[Berry Cool]

142. Oh, and I meant to add...

...isn't "there" a lovely place to go????

[sparky_in_ma]

111. ..Nope...

NOT going to say it.(for once I didn't listen to the voices):D

[RevCheesehead]

119. some day you're going to have to teach me

about "self-control."

(and believe me, you'll have your work cut out for you!)

[sparky_in_ma]

124. : )

Sometimes it's good not to be in control.

[RevCheesehead]

130. spoken just like a man.

I have no control (self, or otherwise) when it comes to you. :loveya:

[sparky_in_ma]

134. Whew..it's warm in here.

:evilgrin: :loveya:

[RevCheesehead]

136. well, my hands are kinda cold...

just where are you feeling overheated? ;-)

[sparky_in_ma]

137. There would be a

lock within seconds.:evilgrin:

[RevCheesehead]

139. then let me just

blow in your ear. :loveya:

[WhirlyGirl]

112. Dag, Berry, you are SO BAD!!!

[Berry Cool]

128. Yeah, but as Mae West said

I'm good at it!

[gkhouston]

169. he wants a cheese hat just like yours!!!

Now you've gone and made him jealous, Rev! Aww...

[RevCheesehead]

170. Oh, Gina - what you said!

UFF-DA!

Of course! How could I miss: 1) The power of Cheese AND 2) Head size 7-7/8.

Keith, cheesehats come in two sizes: juvie, and adult. If the adult size won't fit, you'll have to get a cheese-slicer and carve your own!

When the Packers season starts, I'm gonna send Keith a cheesehat! :bounce:

[crispini]

171. Oh, you should SO do that.

Good call! :thumbsup:

[crispini]

97. Abrams tie check:

Tie OK, suit not so much. It looks like a shoe for some reason.

I *do* think he's starting to go up the wardrobe scale. Keep up the good work, MSNBC wardrobe staff! :thumbsup: Don't stop, there's still a way to go though. :7

[RevCheesehead]

99. yeah, somebody is making an effort there.

And Keith's staff is going "why are ya bitching about the grey suit? Keith makes even that look good!" (not really, but they think so)

[crispini]

105. Hey. We haven't seen the gray suit

in a loooooooong time. (And compared to some of the things Abrams wears, you're right.)

Hmmmm.

Maybe he gave it to Dan! :P

[RevCheesehead]

115. There isn't a tailor in the world

that could make that work for Dan.
I picture those old "Frosted Shredded Wheat" commercials - where the kids are sitting there in grown-ups clothes (frosted on the outside for the kid in you). :)

[crispini]

121. LOL

I hadn't thought about that commercial in YEARS. :)

[Berry Cool]

133. It does kind of remind me of that!

Which reminds me to ask--why when he had the discussion of the good-looking-kids study did we get treated to pictures of the damn Daily Show writer instead of childhoodd pictures of KO?

I mean, heck, he had his picture on the ID card earlier in the show and everything!

One of my favorite moments from tonight's show: when he implied what happens to kids not strapped in the shopping cart. "WhEEEEEEE!"

Also, liked the story about him taking advantage of well-waxed supermarket aisles to indulge in floor skating activity. You just gotta love a floor skater.

[Clark2008]

123. He'll probably wear it tomorrow

now that you mentioned it. :P

[gkhouston]

167. you are so right.

Count on it. :7

[Berry Cool]

131. Uh-oh, crispini, now you've gone and done it!

Tomorrow night we will get the gray suit!

It's inevitable!

And I was really liking the white shirt and the closest-to-red-he-may-ever-have-come tie, too!

[RevCheesehead]

140. Yeah, but he might counter it with THE TIE.

It's just Keith's way of saying :P to us (snarkalicious, you know!).

[Nothing Without Hope]

162. Didn't you hear? Bleever incinerated it in a Gull Bay episode:

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=315&topic_id=2305&mesg_id=3540

Since the grey suit hasn't made an appearance lately, maybe there's something to "sympathetic magic" after all! In which case, maybe we should consider what we might do to likenesses of some of the worst of the neocons and their enablers in the media and elsewhere. Nothing violent, of course - more like a truth spell.

Yeah, that's the ticket: Hex 'em with a truth spell so they can't lie anymore.

[CC]

120. Time to get the zoo crew settled in.

Early work day tomorrow, then work Thurs night.
Next week will be even worse. Have to hang photos for the show, then be at the show Wen. night. Then have to take pics of the nurses getting pinned Friday night. Graduation Sunday. Thinking I won't be around much next week. Need to buy more video tapes. But after that off for the summer.
Everyone have a goodnight and a great day tomorrow.
Crossing fingers for the job hunt Clark.



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


KEEF

[RevCheesehead]

125. Roo is pestering me to say Hi to all of you.

The li'l guy is doing so much better. He's running around the house on occasion, and is eating pretty well, too. Since I got home and came to the computer, he's been lounging on my arms, swatting things off the desk with his tail, and making his presence known.

He wants to say thanks to all of you for your good thoughts (and some day, he'll get rid of that nasty tooth).

[Berry Cool]

138. Glad to hear Roo is doing better

and best wishes to all the various menageries of all the various KOEB'ers.

My menagerie is fine tonight, except I can never quite convince the one to stop jumping on the couch during the show and obscuring my view of the screen with her tail and ass. "Dammit get DOWN! I wanna see Keith, not your BUTT!"

[RevCheesehead]

143. In the animal world,

butts = love. :)

[Berry Cool]

146. But is the animal world so different

from the human world????

150. JUST the animal world?

. . . :rofl: I was thinking of a 15-year-old recording by Sir Mix-alot which is still wildly popular in Columbus!

141. Jamie says hi to Roo

144. I love that photo!

Caption: "I'm not afraid of Bay Airs." :loveya:



Here's the "family photo" (again, from Mom's computer)

147. Cool! Cheese, which one is the B&W one?

I think my butt-botherer is related!

[RevCheesehead]

149. That is the appropriately-named Oreo.

Roo (the tiger) is her littermate; the white holstein-spotted one is Binky. She is the oldest (by two months), and Roo's soul-mate. :loveya:

[Berry Cool]

152. I shoulda known that would be Oreo!

Mine looks like she spilled milk down one side of her face and down her whole neck and chest and belly! (She has little white fingers and spats too.)

145. Uh-oh, ASTB'ers: time to get extremely jealous!!

Read it 'n' weep, boys:

And for others of us, it surprisingly has references to:

a) Constantine

b) Ohio State

Oh well!

148. She would have rather gone with me

but I had to work that nite.:loveya:

151. Ladies & gentlemen, Ms Alison Stewart! (CAUTION: Lady-in-red alert!)

172. Thanks for the link

I never would have know David Shuster also went to Michigan! We True Blues are all over the place.

153. Ok, re: the Runaway Bride

Am I the only one disturbed by the "the public want to see her truly remorseful, as in crying" comments? The public wouldn't have wanted ANYTHING, other than the woman's safe return, had the media not whipped this story into a frenzy in an effort to avoid reporting some very damaging news out of Britain about how Bush was going to invade Iraq no matter what & was distorting the intelligence to support it?? If anyone should pony up, it should be Faux & Nancy Grace & anyone else who said "the fiancee offed her" because they were hoping for weeks & weeks of media hype culminating in a dead body & a new "trial of the century."

I'd love Keith more if he'd bring that little factoid up when he's snarking the runaway bride story. :)

155. Hey, that's quite insightful.

. . . Have you written to Keith? He says he reads them all.

[WolverineDG]

157. hey whirly!

I sent him an email last night that was a cut & paste of my post. Maybe I should fire off another one. :)

[_q_]

158. He does?

All the ones to the blog address, or the countdown address?
That's impressive, if it's the countdown one. Okay, even if it's just the other one, it's impressive.

163. I think he meant KOlbermann@ (the blog address)

[Patsy Stone]

156. Love the caricature!

Hey, WG and all. I missed the whole thing and I'm just about to dig and read the thread. See you later.

For KO: :loveya:

[Nothing Without Hope]

161. Love the Keef caricatre in the OP! Here's NATURE PHOTO of the day

Hope you are all well - will read the thread later to see what's up. Just a drive-by, but I didn't want to go another night without a Nature Photo post; it's a tradition that I like, a calm-down, meditative moment at the end of the thread and the day.

This one ia from this site: http://www.photo.net/photodb/photo?photo_id=2996128
I really like the lines and the colors of the composition of the two running horses. I hope you enjoy it too.

[WhirlyGirl]

173. Nice picture. Pretty horses!

. . . I think it's a nice tradition, too, Hope. Did you see my delphiniums night before last?

[Nothing Without Hope]

175. Hi WG! No, I didn't see them - will have to go back and look.

I'm glad that thread DID get a nature photo. I agree, it's a good tradition to keep.
