KOEB Meeting 1/21/08 MLK Day Edition

[Berry Cool]

He had a dream...



...so do we.



Welcome!

[Patsy Stone]

1. I'm watching the debate

I'll watch KO at midnight.

:hi:, everyone!

[bleever]

10. Just how does Wolf maintain that particular beard style?

And, is it right?

[Patsy Stone]

22. Good question!

I think it's clipper setting number two. But no, it's not right. It makes him look like a bum. :)

I'm fixated on that shot from the back of the stage which shows Hillary's most unflattering angle. Why do they keep doing that? Does someone hate her?

:hi:

[Berry Cool]

30. Richard uses the special Miami Vice Shaver.

Leaves you with a perpetual semi-beard.

[SharonRB]

18. I'm watching the debate, too!

:hi:

Not sure if I'll stay up for the midnight show, but I might.

[Patsy Stone]

25. Hey, you!

:hi:

I thought I needed to know what DU would be arguing about for the next two days while it happens. :)

[SharonRB]

33. Exactly.

I missed the last one. I recorded it, but I never watched it.

[bunny planet]

124. I missed the first half of the debate,

rats, I missed all the fireworks.
Can Hubba Bubba dance?

[ralps]

2. Hi BerryBush, Hi Everyone! Yep Bill Clinton needs to chill out!

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

[RavensChick]

3. I'm here!

:hi: , Berry!

:hi: , everyone!

[WolverineDG]

4. Evening all!

I see the media is still out there working hard to make mountains out of molehills. :eyes:

:hi:

dg

[RavensChick]

5. As usual,

they have nothing better to do, so I'm glad Keith has the facts they won't report on!

:hi: , DG!

[SeattleGirl]

6. Hi all. I'm tuned in to the debate.

Sorry Keef. I'll catch you on the rerun.

:hi:

[RavensChick]

7. He'll understand, SG!

Besides these debates are starting to get on my nerves anyway.

:hi:

[Patsy Stone]

8. Me too

How long before our signature lines disappear due to high traffic? :hi:

[SeattleGirl]

11. Not long, I bet.

:hi:

[Berry Cool]

9. Oh well, so much for the meeting!

I'll be here if anyone wants to talk.

But, yes, I do think Bill needs to pipe down. He's not the one running, his WIFE is!

Men! :grr:

This is one of the things that bugs me about Hillary. I think a lot of people, whether they want to admit it or not, want her because they want her husband back in the White House. That is the wrong reason to vote for her.

Vote for her, if you will, because you want HER as president, NOT her husband. Don't do it out of Clintonian nostalgia.

[Berry Cool]

12. ralps and RavensChick, you guys sticking around?

:hi: I hope so.

oh, and Wolfie too...hope you have forgiven Keith for not wearing the gray suit tonight.

[ralps]

14. Yes I am BerryBush! I'm TIVOing the debate

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

[RevCheesehead]

17. I'm here!

I don't watch the debates anymore. I know where my vote is going.

:hi:

[RavensChick]

21. So do I!

:hi: , Rev!

[RevCheesehead]

27. You know who I'm voting for?

:hi: Hi, RavensChick!

[WolverineDG]

34. Is Bret running for president?

Man, the republicans are going to KILL him for his performance yesterday. I say we should go with someone more electable, like Roger Staubach. :P

dg

[RevCheesehead]

40. Isn't he dead yet?

:P

You know what did them in? Yesterday, Bart Starr was the honorary team captain.... and you remember who HE campaigned for, right? x(

[Patsy Stone]

44. I haven't expressed my sincere condolences

:hug:

[RevCheesehead]

47. Aw, thanks. :)

We did way better than anyone thought we would at the beginning of the season. It just ended early.

I'll be cheering for Eli to whip Tom Brady's ass, too.

:hi:

[Patsy Stone]

53. I was rooting for you guys so much.

Yes, please let Tom lose. That is all.

:hi:

[RevCheesehead]

57. The kids on the team were focusing on the Superbowl.

They all said "we were supposed to win this one." I guess they forgot they had to earn the right to be there.
Penalties killed us. Brett's interception was the nail in the coffin.

You chose wisely... IMHO. :hug:

[Berry Cool]

89. I gotta say I think I can relate here.

Lots of youth on the Indians' squad and I think maybe people were thinking ahead.

Anyone on a Cleveland sports team especially needs to learn...the thing is not won until the last game is over.

[GigiMommy]

71. Ditto. I'm sorry Rev, I was rooting for GB too!!!

:hug:

[RevCheesehead]

72. Thanks, sweetie.

:hug:

[WolverineDG]

48. No

and that's the only reason I didn't nominate Tom Landry.

dg

[RevCheesehead]

50. Touche!

I'd add the `, but it goes the wrong way, and I don't know how to make it work over a letter anyways.

:rofl:

[Berry Cool]

35. Brett Favre?

:hi: Just a thought, Rev...

[RevCheesehead]

43. Only for the most disappointing performance of the evening.

The game sucked, too. :evilgrin:

[Berry Cool]

78. I was late to the table.

Oh well.

[RavensChick]

36. Not really,

but I'm seriously leaning towards Edwards at this point from the way this bickering is going on between Hillary and Barack. Guys, save it for the repugs!

[SeattleGirl]

13. Amen Berry

I won't vote for Hilary because of Bill, or because she's a woman.

I won't vote for Barack because he's black.

I won't vote for Edwards because he was born in a mill town.

I will vote for the person I think is the best choice for this country.

I wish more people would do the same.

[WolverineDG]

23. Well, that just makes too much damn sense

are you sure you're on DU?

:rofl:

dg

[Berry Cool]

26. Good for you.

It's getting to the point where the only reason I want to watch a debate anymore is to play a drinking game.

DEMOCRATIC DEBATE DRINKING GAME

Take a drink every time Hillary says she has more than 30 years of experience.

Take a drink every time Barack uses the word "change."

Take a drink every time John says he is the son of a mill worker.

Take a drink every time Dennis protests being left out.

REPUBLICAN DEBATE DRINKING GAME

Take a drink every time anyone compares himself to Ronald Reagan.

Take a drink every time anyone mentions God.

Take a drink anytime anyone claims he will cut taxes and reduce the size of government and government spending.

Take a drink anytime someone praises the troops.

Take a drink anytime Rudy alludes to 9/11.

If you're not smashed by the end, you're just not listening.

[Patsy Stone]

41. I just drank

when Obama said John's father worked in a mill. Apparently, he's heard that too.

[Berry Cool]

56. Can't imagine where he heard it from.

I mean, where would he have picked up THAT tidbit of personal information? :rofl:

[RavensChick]

16. I'll be here, Berry!

Big Dog is not doing a good job of supporting Hillary. Sigh, when I heard his comments the other day I cringed and thought, Uh oh..Uh, Bill, we want change but not at the expense of you ruining it for us Dems! Please step aside for a while until after Super Tuesday. Thank you.

[WolverineDG]

15. Debate watching crib notes

Clinton will say something of little import that the media will blow up all out of proportion. :eyes:

Obama will say something of little import that the media will blow up all out of proportion. :eyes:

Edwards will say something of import & has impact on us all & the media will ignore it. :grr:

THEN the following will appear in GD & GD: P (over & over & over) :
CLINTON WON THE DEBATE! GET OVER IT!
OBAMA WON THE DEBATE! GET OVER IT!
EDWARDS WON THE DEBATE! PLEASE VOTE FOR HIM!

and
CLINTON DIDN'T PLAY FAIR! SHE SHOULD NOT GET THE NOMINATION!
OBAMA DIDN'T PLAY FAIR!! HE SHOULD NOT GET THE NOMINATION!
EDWARDS PLAYED FAIR & OFFERED REAL SOLUTIONS TO REAL PROBLEMS! PLEASE VOTE FOR HIM!

See? Now you've already seen the debate, so you can stay & watch Keith!

dg

[RevCheesehead]

19. Brilliant!!

:applause:

You should write for the T.V. :hi:

[WolverineDG]

29. LOL!!

I'm either psychic or I've been around this block about a million times. Your pick.



dg

[RevCheesehead]

32. I don't think you're psych-anything.

'Cuz I lurve ya. :hug:

[Berry Cool]

80. Please. Don't use that word "psych" around here

it worries some of us. :scared:

[SharonRB]

88. I think it's okay

as long as it isn't followed by the course number.

[RevCheesehead]

93. snorf!

:rofl:

[bleever]

20. Wow, do you have that new Tivo that records stuff that hasn't been on yet?

I'm guessing you'll be proven right.

[WolverineDG]

24. Keep your scorecards at the ready, kids

Check 'em off as they roll in. First one with a full card gets a prize!

dg

[RavensChick]

28. Very nice!

Debates are messy at best.

[Patsy Stone]

31. Exactly!

:hi:

But I'm watching it anyway, because I'm a glutton for punishment.

[WolverineDG]

37. Like the kid shovelling horse poop in the basement

There's a pony in there somewhere, right? ;)

:hi:

dg

[Patsy Stone]

49. Has to be.

Just has to. Obama is pointing his finger at Hillary now. This should crash DU.

[Berry Cool]

39. Thanks, Wolfie, you summed up the situation quite nicely.

Now let's all settle down and watch Keith, who appears quite relieved that his link to Myrtle Beach is back up.

[RevCheesehead]

38. I had lots of dreams today.

Sadly, I don't remember any of them. But I did spend the holiday in my p.j.'s. :)

Hi to everyone, Keith and/or debate watchers! :hi:

[Berry Cool]

46. Hoof Hearted!

Did someone just fart in the studio? Or was that just a really high, squeaky equipment sound?

Keith...David...he who smelt it dealt it!

[SharonRB]

42. Good answer from Barack!

In a year's time, it will be me enforcing the trade agreements. :rofl:

[bleever]

45. Anyone catch Obama's comeback to Edwards just now?

I was distracted and only heard the audience reaction.

[Patsy Stone]

51. He said

the person who will be making those changes in a year is him.

Also, how about this little fight goin' on. Didja see the finger-pointing? Ooooh.

[bleever]

58. Now THIS is a prime time bout.

:hi:

[Berry Cool]

60. Uh-oh, it sounds as if while I'm here watching Keith,

the Dems are taking off their shirts and getting ready to step outside. :scared:

"You wanna piece a' me?? You wanna piece a' me??"

[RevCheesehead]

62. Maybe Iggy should just wheel in a TV, and we can all watch together.

:evilgrin:

[Berry Cool]

52. Leave it to Keith to know which Yankees support Rudy.

And he thinks Johnny Damon is just a delightful guy. Ha, I wonder if he felt that way in 2004 when he was with the Red Sox?

My question: How much time has Keith spent at Ground Zero vs. watching Yankees games?...LOL

Keith realized he has to stop himself, he's going overboard talking about his two favorite topics. :rofl:

[RevCheesehead]

54. Chuck Norris doesn't realize he pissed off the AARP crowd.

Hopefully, this will be the incident that pushes many of them to the democratic primary. :)

[RavensChick]

69. I hope so too

'cause that means more votes for our team!

[Patsy Stone]

55. FIGHT! FIGHT! FIGHT!

:bounce:

[RevCheesehead]

59. God help me, I turned to look!

x( x( x(

Go, John!!!! :bounce::bounce:

[WolverineDG]

63. It's not about us personally

but about America!

YAY JOHN!!!!

dg

[RevCheesehead]

66. Now will the rest of America please pay attention to what he says??

The audience clearly likes him!

[SeattleGirl]

70. Exactly!!!!!

I feel like Hil and Barack are not paying attention to US. John is!

[RavensChick]

76. John said that?

Kewl!!!!

[Berry Cool]

64. You're not missing anything much

Keith is once again making an "Eric Blair" reference prior to Oddball.

[WolverineDG]

61. woOt!

Edwards: How is this squabbling going to help anyone get health care? Educate children? :bounce:

dg

[SeattleGirl]

68. Wow, no kidding!

I thought Hil and Barack were gonna come to blows!

:wow:

[Patsy Stone]

75. They needed

that guy to come and separate them.

A-mazing.

[GigiMommy]

65. Hi Everyone!!!

:hi: Went to the Detroit NAIAS Auto Show w/my Daughter!

[RevCheesehead]

67. Gasp!

Is that an ELECTRIC CAR???? :bounce::bounce:

[GigiMommy]

74. YEP!...

It's the Chevy Volt, but don't go lookin' for it in the showroom yet. There were LOTS of "green" cars this year.

[RevCheesehead]

79. That's a damned fine looking car!

Do you think Chevy decided (finally) that they wanted to sell cars?

[GigiMommy]

84. Maybe, but they've got some catching up to do

[Berry Cool]

73. Oh, good news. Lucky the Elephant Seal made it back to the beach.

Whereupon Keith made an immediate joke about him trying to hit on some other seal's mate and thus "not getting any." Does it seem to you that Keith makes more of these kinds of jokes at the expense of other males now than ever before, or is it just me?

Classic musical choice tonight for Best Persons. Top story is about the guy who turned out at his own funeral to not be dead...and to be thirsty! Cue Melissa Etheridge: "Somebody bring me some water/Can't you see I'm burnin' alive..."

[RevCheesehead]

77. You mean he escaped the bowels of hell?

Musta been a republican.

[RavensChick]

82. I think he's doing these jokes a lot too

which has me asking, why? you jealous all of a sudden?

:evilgrin:

[Berry Cool]

83. Am I just acting like Keith's old fishwife tonight, or is he kinda rerunny in his talk?

I mean, so far he's been hitting all his old favorites:

--making references to George Orwell's birth name

--telling his story about Bob and Ray and how they told him they couldn't do political humor because nothing was funnier than Watergate

--talking about all the baseball players he knows personally and listening to guests humor him by making baseball references

I'm starting to feel as if I could get drunk playing the Keith Drinking Game tonight.

[RevCheesehead]

86. If you add to it the "not getting any" reference....

you might have the insight of a very tired man. :hide:

[Berry Cool]

105. Actually, I was going to ADD the stuff about cracking jokes about animals, nerds, etc.

"not getting any" or "not being able to get a date." :rofl:

Perhaps working on a weekend again tuckered Keith out?

I just get the feeling that if I were married to him, about now I'd be saying after the show, "You had to tell that story about Bob and Ray again?"

[RevCheesehead]

107. We could be charitable and call it "The Tweety Factor."

Or realistically caty and call it "The Katy Factor." :o

[Berry Cool]

114. But can we blame her for his retelling of old stories?

Wouldn't he do that anyway?

[RevCheesehead]

116. I dunno.

But it's more fun that way, isn't it? ;)

[Berry Cool]

123. Possibly

but perhaps I should lay off the girl.

I wouldn't want Agent Mike to get any ideas.

[RavensChick]

94. Nice car!

:hi: , Gigi!

The Washington Auto Show is this weekend so I might go into town and see if this car's on display.

[RevCheesehead]

81. The Rocky Horror Picture Show????

OMFG!!! :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[SeattleGirl]

85. Ooooooh, Hil just gobsmacked Barack on not taking responsibility.

Wonder if he's gonna counter with a verbal left hook?

And can we PLEASE hear more from John???

[SharonRB]

92. And Barack feels bad for John

[SeattleGirl]

98. Yeah, but then he didn't let him speak.

:eyes:

[Patsy Stone]

87. Hillary is airing out all Obama's laundry on national TV

This is nasty.

[RevCheesehead]

90. And the repukes are copiously taking notes.

:eyes:

[Patsy Stone]

97. Oy

It's nothing that h asn't been out there, but she's just hammering him every chance she gets. Full on attack mode. She used the word "slumlord".

Now Edwards is joining in on the party.

[SeattleGirl]

91. And Barack countered with saying that Hil will say anything just

to get elected.

WOW!

[RevCheesehead]

96. I happen to agree with him.

In fact, I think I said that about two years ago. I just don't trust her.

[SeattleGirl]

99. I agree, Rev.

God, my blood is racing, watching this!

Yeah, it's ugly, but damn, this needed to happen!

[WolverineDG]

95. I liked John telling the mods

"Give me some more time. Lord knows you let them go on & on."

:rofl:

dg

[SeattleGirl]

100. Priceless!

:rofl:

[RavensChick]

106. Hillary,

kiss the black vote goodbye!

[RevCheesehead]

101. Oh, nooooooo!

Keith just said "Eli Manning, AND THOSE OF US WHO SUPPORTED HIM,..."

:cry::cry::cry: Keith, how COULD you?????

[Patsy Stone]

102. He's a New Yorker

I forgive him for the Yankees thing; you might have to do the same. :(

[RevCheesehead]

103. That's a tall order.

It's like finding out you're dating a republican. :(

[Berry Cool]

117. Hey, look at it like this.

While I would like to believe that when Keith attended that Yankees-Indians playoff game, he was there to cheer for my beloved Indians, I highly suspect, sadly but truly, that that was NOT the case. :cry:

However, the end result was sweet.

[RavensChick]

113. Oh, no he di'nt!!!

I am appalled! For shame, Keith! For shame!

:spank:

[ralps]

104. Today's worst person in the world is Coultergeist!! for saying that Nimitz &

Eisenhower were among the US bases named after confederates!! LOL :hi: :loveya: :hug: :pals: :woohoo: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[Berry Cool]

108. Wow, I guess I'll have to catch Da Fite on Keith's show tomorrow.

The end of the show is devoted to the "Saddest Day of the Year" and how sad it is for celebs. Keith implies that actors like Kiefer Sutherland have a hard time being alone, which he knows from "all the actresses." I sense this is a barbed reference to his dating past. Keith, perhaps if you weren't so into the youth-and-beauty thing...

[Berry Cool]

109. I'm really annoyed with my left thumb tonight.

It's doing the electrical impluse twitchy thing that makes me feel as if I'm about to get Parkinson's or something. I hope that's not the case.

[GigiMommy]

110. WE had a good day, but tomorrow?????

[RevCheesehead]

111. My Lord, Gigi - - she's ADORABLE!!!

:loveya:

[GigiMommy]

112. Thanks Rev!

She's growing up!

[RevCheesehead]

118. How old is she now?

And does she look like you, Dad, or both?

Honestly, she is a beauty! She must be the joy of your life.

[GigiMommy]

121. She's 8 now and

she's the love of my life.

[CC]

126. Aaaawww she is so pretty

and look at those beautiful eyes.

[SeattleGirl]

115. I agree, Rev!

She IS adorable! :loveya:

[GigiMommy]

120. Thanks SG!

:blush:

[Berry Cool]

119. Aw, how sweet!

Thanks for sharing the pic.

I've switched to the debate now that Keith is done. I'm still waiting for punches to be thrown.

[GigiMommy]

122. Thanks BB!!

It's time to put her to bed!

[CC]

125. Tomorrow....

...well today now is a good day. At least for the ferrets since it is the Ferretessa's birthday.:rofl:
