AWTB 6/16...the "waah waah no Keith tonight" thread...

[Berry Cool]

"Hi, this is Keith. I'm not here tonight (*SOUND OF BAT CRACKING AND CROWD CHEERING*) so please watch Alex Witt instead. Enjoy."

Ah, man...I don't have the heart...:cry:

[RevCheesehead]

1. G*ddammit, Keith, I'm here tonight!!!

Where the hell are YOU??
Oh. Baseball. :boring:

[Catchawave]

3. LOL....how R U Rev ?

Heard about those tornadoes in Wisconsin earlier this week :o

:loveya: for Keef, even though I think Friday's off will be the norm now?

[RevCheesehead]

7. Hi, Catch.

I think we're living in the End-Times. Earlier this week, it was very hot and humid (high 80's), now it's very cool - mid 60's. :shrug: Maybe God's pissed at Senselessbrenner? :evilgrin:

[Berry Cool]

10. I don't think Keith is planning on taking Fridays off, no.

I think he made it pretty clear that he's doing Dan Patrick's show *in addition to* Countdown, not instead of...and from what I heard of the recording of him when he announced it on the show earlier this week, he's going to be on the 2 pm hour. That should give him plenty of time to jaw with Dan for an hour and then still get ready to do Countdown. Assuming he cuts down on that 12 hours a day he spends on the Internets, that is.

If he finds the workload too heavy, and starts playing hooky, I don't think MSNBC will be too pleased, unless they agreed to alter his schedule. I think the ratings suffer too much when he's not on and they wouldn't be happy about him committing to any other kind of work that would lessen the frequency of his Countdown appearances.

[Patsy Stone]

2. Where is Alison Stewart?

Did she get a better gig? I don't think I'm gonna watch. Even though it's still Countdown, she makes it feel like MSNBC.

And I was looking forward to watching KO tonight. Have fun at the game. :loveya:


:hi:, all!

[RevCheesehead]

4. Hi, Patsy.

I'm thinking of switching over to The Daily Show. Even if it's a rerun, it's better than this chick.

[Patsy Stone]

11. Somebody say, "Amen!"

The DS has been very good the last few days. Hi, Rev.

Countdown, take note! :)

[RevCheesehead]

12. Ed Helms in a Speedo.

I think I snarfed during "ball-cam." :rofl:

[Catchawave]

5. Alison's with The Today show now.....

...doing special features, I think.

[Patsy Stone]

13. It seems I missed this.

That's great for her, and bad for us. :(

Alison :thumbsup:

[Berry Cool]

6. Alison's on NBC now.

So the bad news for those who don't like Alex is that she's looking like Keith's new go-to girl as a sub. *sigh*

For the record: the mention of the sound of a bat cracking is a mere joke on my part. I have no idea why he's not on, of course, and Alex has not explained, but you know how it is...every time he plays hooky, we all start playing "cherchez le baseball." :-(

[RevCheesehead]

8. I wish they'd give the nod to Perky Girl.

She really does a good job, and she is one of the few who truly understands snark. I'm thinking it's a Union thing. :(

[Rhiannon12866]

19. I was wondering the same thing.

She's watchable. *sigh*:-(

[SharonRB]

21. I was going to watch, but the Conyers hearing is being rerun

on C-Span 2 right now. I caught part of it this afternoon streamed on my computer at work, but now I can really listen.

I like Alex Witt, but she's not very snarky.

Allison is now on The Today Show.

[RevCheesehead]

22. Thanks for the heads up, Sharon!

:hi: I'm off to C-Span world!

[RevCheesehead]

9. "as damning as the Liberal bloggers want there to be...."???

Who is this chick? Who writes her questions?
Did she get the corporate meme about how to spin the story? :puke:

[Catchawave]

14. She didn't sound very sincere, did she....

...lack of genuine curiosity I suppose :(

[RevCheesehead]

16. Maybe tonight we get Alex Witt Puppet Theatre?

Cause I'm thinking she's sitting there like she's got a popsicle stick up her.... :spank:

[Berry Cool]

15. I don't know, but one thing I do know...

...the show just ain't the same without Keef. :-(

With the way the Downing St. Memo/Minutes/Whatever is starting to take off as a story at last, and this bipartisan movement to push the bliv to move us out of Iraq, I sure hope he's not going to be taking a whole lot more breaks.

Oh, and the Mets are in Oakland tonight, so my bet is that unless he has actually decided to do something else (!!!!!! perish the thought!!!!!), Keith is sitting in Yankee Stadium right now watching the Evil Pinstriped Losers take on the Pirates.

[RevCheesehead]

17. Arrgh!

token pirate----->;)

[Rhiannon12866]

18. Dammit! I was looking forward to hearing what he had to say

About John Conyers, if anything! Maybe I'll switch to C-Span! GRRRR!:grr:

[Berry Cool]

20. Well, y'ain't gonna hear it tonight...

Instead you get Alex Witt of the popsicle stick...

[Rhiannon12866]

35. John Conyers' hearings are being repeated on C-SPAN2,

Right now! So I'm hearing it all first hand! Yikes, this is good!:bounce:

Is Keith going to be back, tomorrow? I'm hoping that he'll talk about this!:kick:

As for Alex, at least she throws the paper wad at the camera. *sigh*:shrug:

[Botany]

23. Frigging Witless

Is it just me or has she never been snarked?

[RevCheesehead]

24. Hi, Cuddles.

Let me ask you this: would YOU snark her?

[Berry Cool]

25. Hey, at least she nailed Frist to the wall

for the difference between what he SAYS he said about Schiavo then and what he actually DID say on videotape.

Sheesh, have these people no shame?

[Botany]

28. I didn't catch that ...

..... good for her. Frist today, "It is time to move on."

[Botany]

27. Well she is a little cold but ......

...... the package is nice.

[RevCheesehead]

29. You are such a -

such a guy! :spank:

"might be cold, but what the hell...." :rofl:

[Botany]

39. Hey Cheese ......

KO sees something in her ....... maybe the tv makes her seem cold

btw you are my fav EDV

[RevCheesehead]

42. Hey Cuddles - -

KO's PRODUCERS see something in her. Keith has better taste.

You're still a guy. :P

[Botany]

43. Rev .....

....... "You're still a guy. " No doubt. But I still do not get "Witless" she is working
so hard to act cool & hip ..... it is hard to watch .....

Alison has the stuff ... NBC ...."they know" and will turn her into
the next ...... Katie Couric (SP) ....... style but nothing else ........

Wisconsin in the summer = heaven ..... for those who see it .....
go see my buddy Neil @ Prairie Nursery (Westfield) and make him take
you to the Sport's Men Tavern in Harrisville ..... send me a PM .....

BTW Conyers = real American

[Catchawave]

26. Well, it could be worse....

I like Alex better than Monica "I have a Ph.D" Crowley.

[RevCheesehead]

30. Don't ya think Ron Reagan would be great?

Or Craig Crawford?
Why are we getting all the empty-headed bimbos?

[Catchawave]

31. Ron and Craig would be great....

...even thought of Dan Abrams :loveya: :loveya: :loveya: <---for each of them!

[RevCheesehead]

32. Dan could learn snark.

He has both snark- and fashion-potential. I'd watch - and I'd even lend Crispini a pair of sunglasses for the occasionally ghastly tie. B-)

[Berry Cool]

33. Well, it's official...no Keith tomorrow night either. :-(

Alex closed saying "I'll see you all here tomorrow."

I think I'll just go kill myself now...

[RevCheesehead]

34. No need for me to rush back from the wedding rehearsal.

But I'll check in later, and am willing to offer my professional counseling experience to those who are in KOEB withdrawl. :)

[WolverineDG]

36. thanks for the heads' up on that

now i know i won't have to set my vcr to record the show....i'll be headed to dem fest tomorrow afternoon & will be partying with crispy & other DU'ers tomorrow night. :evilgrin:

dg

[CC]

37. Have a great time

and tell crispini to have one too. You must take pictures to post please.

[Berry Cool]

38. Yeah, I second that emotion.

I'm just gonna have to find something fun to do. Hell, IT'S FRIDAY NIGHT!

Rev, any time you want to counsel, go right ahead. I could use it!

How you holding up, CC? Hope you're OK.

[RevCheesehead]

41. OK - Friday night, about 8 (Central) - I'll be here.

I'll call it "Rev.(Dr.) Ruth's Counseling/Advice Session." :)

[Berry Cool]

49. OK, if it turns out nothing else exciting happens, I'll be here...

Just look for the picture of Keith and the "Keith Withdrawal Syndrome Counseling Session."

Damn, I hope he's on Monday! Well, if nothing else at least we get the Leno appearance! Hot damn!

Scary to realize, though, that this Keithless and Witt-y thread actually has MORE posts to it than the one from the previous night in which Keith was ON. What happened? Is that the Power of Cheese again?

[CC]

44. I left to watch

JS and the DS. I am doing ok, poor Gizmo was so miserable the last couple days it made it easier to let go. Besides I could hear Poppy begging us to shoot him, push him of a cliff, hang him and the list goes on,in my head when he was dying of cancer. Figure Giz's whimpers were saying the same in ferret. I miss him and now feel like I have to train the other ferrets to watch Keith and run from Tucker. But KO will have to be there to try that. Would not want them getting addicted to Witless.

I decided that maybe Snap should be the new KOEB mascot, though it is up to the KOEB. And no other animals are allowed to get sick for a long while on the KOEB.



Edited to add, I just hit 1000 with this post.

[RevCheesehead]

45. Congrats on your 1000 posts!!!

CC, your critters will learn in time to love Keith - it's all about the exposure.

Trust me, even the dumbest animal alive knows to run from Tucker.

I'm glad you're beginning to find some peace. :hug:

And I wholeheartedly agree: KOEB critters - you all stay HEALTHY!

[CC]

46. Thanks Rev

I have also actually started to get stuff done around here that should of been done a while ago. Biggest problem teaching the others to watch would be getting them to stay still. Now the cats are easy, long as I pet or scratch them they will stay. Though these days using a shedding blade on them.

[RevCheesehead]

47. Hey, the same thing happened to me.

A few days after Roo died, I took several boxes of Christmas decorations to the basement. (Yes, Christmas.) Slowly but surely, we make our way back to familiar patterns, and try to find or create order to bring peace to our hearts.

Somewhere, I've got a shedding tool - I think Oreo would really appreciate that right about now. Maybe that will be tomorrow's project. (I wonder what box I packed that in 2 years ago?)

[CC]

48. I know Butterball

loves it, Actually all the cats love it but it get tangles out of Butterball's fur. He like to lay in the bathroom sink when it is wet and get knoys.

Not so much going back to normal as doing all the neglected stuff first. Then the normal stuff hopefully.

Ok bedtime here just realize I forgot to hit post.

[Berry Cool]

50. Congrats, CC (not much fun this way, but congrats anyway).

And glad you're holding up. Yes, Rev is right, the other ferrets will run from Tucker without your help. Only weasels will run TO him...but chances are the weasels would just laugh at him and turn on Faux News anyway.

Snap would surely make a great mascot, and yes, we gotta keep these little (or not so little) critters alive. So far so good for mine. Bella was doing her usual tail-and-ass-in-the-screen attack on Countdown the other night when Keith was on.

[RevCheesehead]

40. You're partying with Crispini??

What are ya - the keeper of the cuffs? :evilgrin:

Have a blast, and buy a round on the KOEB (Sparky will pay the tab).

[WolverineDG]

51. hee hee!

i almost picked up a pair in london....pink fur lined & all. :)

[gkhouston]

52. WHAT?!

Damn, I missed that. She's so soporific I guessed I tuned out on that piece of bad news. Why can't they give Novotny a spin at the big chair?
