1. May I be the first to say congratulations to the KOEBabes!

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

WE ROCK MIGHTILY!

Hi Rev! :hi:

edited to add a pic: I'll go with a Tie Pic. :)

[Patsy Stone]

3. Bit of Bolly???? Cheers, Everyone!

WOOO-HOOO!

[crispini]

4. Dude. Too early in the morning for that.

On reflection, make mine a mimosa and you're on! :evilgrin:

[Shopaholic]

5. I'm still guzzling Cranberry Juice.

But I will be happy to tilt a glass in honor or our new group! :bounce:

[Patsy Stone]

11. How about a Sea Breeze?

Clinky!

[Patsy Stone]

7. It's nearly cocktail time in the UK -- Here you are sweetie, darling!

Clinky!

[Patsy Stone]

8. And o/t -- While searching for your drink, I found my perfume! Thanks.

[ClassWarrior]

9. Why waste money on perfume?

Why not just splash on a little from Crisp's glass?

NGU.

[Patsy Stone]

10. LOL

Hey, CW! Welcome to our ritzy penthouse...
:toast:

It's a delicious perfume, but I could use crispi's and drink the rest.

[WhirlyGirl]

22. And I bet Keith...

... smells nice, too. :loveya:

(Mmmmmm... Fragrance de Keithhhhhhhhhhh!!! Aghhh-aghh-aaghh!!!)

:hi: Hey, everbuddy, are we cool or WHAT?!!!
Thanks to all the hardworking organizers who have made this oasis in the cyber-desert a REALITY!!!!!!
:toast::toast::toast::toast::toast::toast:

Such a cozy place... <sprawling out on the big pillows on the floor> Brings out my BOHEMIAN side.

Say -- where's bohemian Keith??

[RevCheesehead]

33. I think seito's giving him a back massage.

she said she was going to e-mail him one! :)

[gkhouston]

35. as long as he gets a good massage from someone

he really looked like he was hurting last week.

[WhirlyGirl]

37. Well, if anyone can, it'll be seito!

... I still say, though, that there's nothing quite like the "laying on of hands" (or, in this case, feet) put a bad back right!

----------
<< she said she was going to e-mail him one! :-) >> RevChe

[RevCheesehead]

38. That, too, is something I can do.

<... I still say, though, that there's nothing quite like the "laying on of hands">

Although I did have one parishoner who went in the hospital for prostate surgery. I told him, "hon, you know I love you dearly, but I think that in this case I will not be laying on hands. How about a quick prayer instead?" (I think he was smiling all the way into the OR.)

[WhirlyGirl]

40. ROTFLM(blessed)AO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :-D

[gkhouston]

41. if you had laid on the hands

he would have been moaning...

Yeah, I know where I'm headed. How many corners does this rec room have?

[RevCheesehead]

42. relax - it's circular.

No time-outs permitted in the Lounge. :P

[gkhouston]

43. um... I know threads can get locked

but Skinner wouldn't lock the entire Group... would he? :scared:

[WhirlyGirl]

49. Just to clarify...

... "Where's bohemian Keith"

meant --

Where's my favorite beatnik photo? (Sometimes I forget about the fixations around here!)

Can someone post it, please?

-----------
<< I think seito's giving him a back massage. >> RevChe

[RevCheesehead]

56. fixations, indeed!

Here ya go, WG:

[WhirlyGirl]

60. SALAD, man, SALAD!... I mean, like, outta STATE!

Where's my bongo drums? I wanna JAM w/ KEITH!!!

Jammin' palpitations <thumpthump thumpthumpthump thumpthump thumpthumpthump> :loveya:

[Greylyn58]

6. This is soooo cool!!!

We got ourself's A Countdown convoy

YEAH to us!!! :bounce: :toast: :party: :bounce:

Lots of floaty hearts to everyone...:loveya: :loveya: :loveya: :loveya:

[Nothing Without Hope]

12. All RIGHT!!!! It's a great day for Keefly journalism and a great day for..

...some nooner Cliquot: The KOEB toast: TO THE TIES THAT BIND!!!

Congratulations to us!!

...and to all the new people who will be able to share
the joys, pleasures, ups & downs,
copious brew and snark,
informed suit & necktie advice,
wise advice to the lovelorn (and to the we-wish-they-were-lovelorn),
plentiful well-deserved :loveya:s,
ineffable charms and journalistic tour-de-forces of :loveya:Keith Olbermann:loveya:,
and --most of all -- the good company and adventures of our KOEB community!!!

Ladies and non-ladies, this is a fine and special event and I'm pleased to see you all, whether or not you have ever before visited the KOEB.

Thank you, Patsy, for doing most of the work of setting up the Group, and to Skinner for letting us do it. To them and to all of you KOEBers:
:loveya: :loveya: :loveya: :loveya: :loveya: :loveya: :loveya: :loveya: :loveya:

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=203&topic_id=311570&mesg_id=312018&page=
1. Obligatory posting of "the picture"
2. Obligatory posting of floaty hearts
3. Gnashing of teeth as we wonder why we only get 1 MSM guy who doesn't follow the RNC talking points
4. More floaty hearts
5. Fashion critique
6. Concern over right-wing fascism in the country
7. Sparky gets us all drunk
8. Appreciation of Countdown music cuts
I think that about sums it up. Sometimes there is a poem involved, but not tonight.

[Catchawave]

14. Wheeeeeee-hoooooooo!

Thanks Rev for the pm!

Thanks Pats for all your hard work, you and admin must've set a new posting record in the ATA !

Thanks elad and skinner too!

Let me buy everyone a round of Snarkitinis !





:loveya: :grouphug: :loveya:

[RevCheesehead]

15. "make mine a snarkatini"

would that look good on a bumpersticker?? :)

[gkhouston]

17. I'd love a snarkitini

er... what's in one?

We have our own playroom now!!!!!

:bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce:

[Clark2008]

16. Hee hee.. Now we'll NEVER stop talking about Keith,

and sexy bartenders, and floatie hearts and potpourri in the virtual bathrooms and posting pool pictures of Keith, Wes, JK and Dean... LOL!

:loveya: ladies (and the few, the brave, the gentlemen of KOEB).

[gkhouston]

18. for pity's sake, Patsy

why did you promise Skinner we'll be good? You know we're only going to be good at it...

[Botany]

19. Sadly I must stay out of this group.

Nobody posted that hooking Botany up w/ Miss. Steph as one of the
core principals. How could you? Sniff!

:cry:

Stephanie :loveya: Miller

[gkhouston]

20. Botany, we figured it was a done deal

you keep telling us she'll be yours and that you're _____ like a horse. (Or was it a hamster?) Is our further assistance not superfluous?

[Patsy Stone]

21. But, I see I star

I was worried you'd be kept out of the playhouse...

Welcome to the party. Again, big enough coattails for everyone. You also seem to be doing pretty well on your own with Miss Steph!

:toast:

[RevCheesehead]

26. Re-read Hope's post:

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=315&topic_id=2&mesg_id=16&page=

Also, you should know that the entire second section of our mission statement was removed, so you aren't the only one suffering here!

And I agree with the ladies above: We presumed it was a done deal. We'll work out the clubhouse rules in a few days, and we'll be sure to put you and Steph at the top of the list. ;)

[AmyJCNJ]

23. YES! Snarkorific!

I knew you guys would be able to get this done.

[SharonRB]

24. Congratulations to us!

We finally have our group!!! Yippee!! I'm home not feeling well today and finally was able to get on the computer. Happy day to all of us KOEBers.

:loveya:

25. What, not engraved invitations to the new group's opening?

[RevCheesehead]

30. I can do that.

Go to "Latest." Click on "DU Groups" on left side of page (3rd section, under "Forum Categories." Go to "Countdown/Keith Obermann Group" - right next to the title of the thread is a line that says "add to my groups." Click, and you're good to go!

:toast:

[gkhouston]

31. Did you PM Miami?

She's been pretty scarce lately, but she's usually logged on at least a little in the day-time. I'm surprised she hasn't popped in yet.

on edit: thanks for PM'ing everyone. It's a pain to have to send the messages one at a time. I wish we could chain together a list, like you can with email.

[RevCheesehead]

32. I don't think I had Miami on the list..

I went by who showed up on Friday, then added the bartender - because after all, we need someone to un-cork the champagne.

Do you have her PM? Otherwise, I'll go looking for her.

[gkhouston]

34. No, I don't have it handy, but I think she may have visited the

group discussion thread over in Media. That would be an easy first place to look for her.

[gkhouston]

36. I just sent her a message. If you did as well, then

she got two invites, which will make her feel doubly welcome. :P

[RevCheesehead]

39. I just sent her one, as well.

Twice as nice!

But I'm glad you suggested it, so I went back to check other threads from this week, and noticed other omissions. If I have forgotten anyone else, PLEASE FORGIVE!

[merh]

48. Thank you so much!!

It's official - this snarkful group is a favorite Group!

44. So is this all your doing Rev Darlin?

I don't see anything in the mission statement about ogling pictures and floaty hearts...

Howya :loveya: doin?

I hope your folks are well...

NGU.

[gkhouston]

45. rank amateur

we NEVER ogle floaty hearts.

Other things that float...

[RevCheesehead]

46. Hi there, cheezedoodle!

(can I call you that? please? :)).

I just happened to get on the computer when Skinner posted the new group. I was so happy, I PM'd as many of you as I could find, to share in the mirth and merriment.

Mom & Dad are tired, but good. :thumbsup: Thanks for asking.

and for you, dear, NNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNGU! :loveya:

[ClassWarrior]

61. Sure...

...I'll be your lil Cheezedoodle. <LOL>

:loveya:

NGU.

[seito]

47. Thanks for the heads up Rev

:hi:

To the KOEB and the ties that bind :toast:

[Clark2008]

50. Did someone say pictures?

Shhhh.... I won't tell you that now we know what he looks like without glasses...



If you won't tell what he wears on his days off:

[Catchawave]

51. "Superman" Keith should follow the one removing his glasses...

that would be sooooo cute :)

[sparky_in_ma]

52. Yes!!

I'm opening up a permanent bar over here. The rent is low and it's a good neighborhood. Complete with KO pictures on the wall. (The friday nite crowd can get a little noisy, but aside from self-ripping bodices, it's a safe place.)

[seito]

53. Hey bartender

Nice to see ya :hi: Believe me you were missed :evilgrin:

[sparky_in_ma]

54. Hi seito

It would seem a certain KOEB'er was throwing herself at the Fabio look alike temporary bartender Friday nite. I was pointed to that thread by a loyal customer, (thanks Patsy). I noticed Bleever stuck up for me as did many others. Said person, who shall remain nameless, will have to pay for her drinks tonite. All other KOEB'ers drink free in honor of the new group. (she also doesn't get any cheese tonite):7

[seito]

55. lol

That "said person" is never gonna get herself out of time out.

Who could it be :think:

[RevCheesehead]

57. Well, in honor of tonight -

I brought Vermont Cheddar. But if you aren't interested,.....

Bleever told me that picture was YOU. :P
And you never, ever left my mind - or my heart. :loveya:

[sparky_in_ma]

58. LOL

Vermont Cheddar is good! Thanks for the pm.

[RevCheesehead]

59. I love your sig line!

Does this mean you're permanent? Because certain OTHER tongues were wagging on Friday night about your noticeable absence.

I suggest you work out a contract. Insist on a decent salary and workman's comp. You never know when you'll slip on one of those floaty hearts.

[bunny planet]

62. ok, you twisted my arm!

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

We are officially groupies now.:toast: :party: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce:



We love you KO. You have snarked your way into our hearts and just as importantly, our minds. Finally a newscaster with brains, humor, and beauty. It's Keef.
