KOEB 6/6/06 "Without Keith, It's Hell" Edition

[Berry Cool]

Let the sad news be spread...it's another Baseball Hooky Night in Countdown-Land.

Keith announced on Dan Patrick's show that for tonight, he prefers the company of these guys to us:

and

Hell of a way to abandon us when we need you most, pal!

Oh well...time to belly up to the bar of Brian...and think of some hellish tortures for Keith when he returns.

Just kidding. :loveya:

[Gogi]

1. Phooey.

First the Cards let me down and now KO lets me down.:cry:

[Berry Cool]

4. Aw, it's too bad. First Pujols, now this.

Keith's injured too, but that's not why he's out. It's baseball again. He admitted it.

Where is Brian tonight? They've zoomed in on him.

[Patsy Stone]

2. Bastard!

Okay, not so much. :hi:

[SharonRB]

5. WTF?

Kelly just called to tell me her Internets are down, so unless they come back up she won't be here. While we were talking, we heard that it was Brian's voice. Bummer!

[Patsy Stone]

12. It's the NSA!

It's the Devil at work. :hi:

[SharonRB]

14. You're probably right

It's 6-6-6 and Kelly's Internets go out? What else could it be?

[WolverineDG]

20. I MADE IT!!!!!!

Had to beat my internet connection ( :grr: )into submission, but I'm here. And ::ptooey:: it's Brian, not Keith. :( I had a suck day & was looking forward to Countdown. Ah well.

dg

[Patsy Stone]

27. Nice!

But sorry about Keef. :(

:hi:

[WolverineDG]

31. HEY! What happened to your avatar?

:wtf: Where's Pats? :cry:

Think if I whine enough tonight KO will wear THE gray suit for me tomorrow? :rofl:

dg

[Patsy Stone]

37. Did he say shit?

He reiterated "shin", but I'm not buyin' it.

This week, I'm using an even more obvious gay icon then Patsy. :)

[RevCheesehead]

55. I coulda sworn he said "shit."

And I know shit. Trust me. ;)

:hi:

[Patsy Stone]

60. Then this next one should be a breeze:

[RevCheesehead]

73. LOL

That's a special on Faux News, isn't it?

[Berry Cool]

78. Gosh, I'm not sure I can tell the difference...

Man, I gotta stop watching Keith's Bill O'Reilly tapes!

[SharonRB]

35. Yay -- your Internets are back.

[WolverineDG]

42. Yeah, had to threaten it with a baseball bat

but it's now up & running! YAY!! :bounce:

And I even got a PM from Crispy about the convention this weekend! Watch out, Fort Worth--EDVs on the loose!

dg

[Olney Blue]

36. Hi Wolverine!

:hi:

[WolverineDG]

39. Hi Olney!

:hi:

[Berry Cool]

6. Funny, Patsela, that's what Dan called him, too.

:hi: all!

So DeLay isn't having his farewell at a French restaurant, eh? Please.

Je croix que M. DeLay est plein de merde.

[WolverineDG]

23. Yeah, no shit

and he's not from France. HE'S FROM LAREDO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! heh.

dg

[Berry Cool]

30. No, the point is that there IS shit.

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

Glad to see ya made it anyway, Wolfie.

[WolverineDG]

33. I know what "merde" means

No shit. :rofl: Je parle francais en peu.

[Berry Cool]

48. I was making a joke that it was ironic

that knowing that, you said "NO" shit... :rofl:

[Patsy Stone]

3. Distraction Trifecta

Okay, that headline was pretty funny.

[Berry Cool]

8. That was extremely funny.

So was using Schoolhouse Rock. I remember sitting there in my senior year of high school taking American government tests and having that song running through my head, helping me to remember how the legislative process works. :rofl:

[Patsy Stone]

10. Yes.

The preamble song helped me a lot, too -- along with Tom Lehrer's The Elements (to the tune of Modern Major General).

[WolverineDG]

My civics teacher made us memorize the Preamble

and when she gave us the test, ie. Write out the Preamble to the U.S. Constitution, she was wondering why we were all humming. :rofl:

#In 1787, I'm told, our Founding Fathers all sat down....#

dg

[Patsy Stone]

108. I wonder what she thought.

"Have they been programmed?" LOL.

[WolverineDG]

117. Nah, we told her after the test

She told us she wondered why we all were humming & we told her about "Schoolhouse Rock." She'd never heard of it (although to be fair, I think her kids were too young for cartoons at the time). The English teachers, OTOH, knew all about it because they LOVED teaching "INTERJECTIONS!" ;)

dg

[ralps]

7. Hi BerryBush, Hi Everyone, Darn it!!! Come back Keith, Tom Delay is

French??? + I'm glad Brian is covering B*sh's signing statements!! :hi: :loveya: :hug: :pals: :woohoo: :cry:

[Berry Cool]

11. Damn, Brian's got me watching this show

and I'm still not really warm to him yet.

Hey everybody, check out GD. I posted there a transcription of the choice comments KO had to make today on Dan's show about Ann Coulter and her opinion of the 9/11 widows.

[Olney Blue]

45. ralps, why did you choose the flag instead of the pink triangle?

[ralps]

47. Hi Olney Blue & The Rainbow flag was one of the options in that thread

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

[Olney Blue]

53. I was thinking about changing my avatar to show solidarity

this week with the GLBT community, but I didn't know what the avatars
meant for sure- I wanted to include all of the groups and I wasn't sure
which avatar was best

[Patsy Stone]

58. I went off the reservation

and found one by searching Google for gay pride icons. I guess that makes me an iconoclast.

I kill me.

:hi:, Olney!

[Olney Blue]

68. Your avatar that I'm seeing is Patsy Stone with a chunk out of her face.

Does that mean something?


:hi:

[Patsy Stone]

70. You don't see a pink and black

yin and yang icon now?

And, that's a P (for Patsy) :)

[Olney Blue]

75. No :(

I have a MAC- wonder if that's why

[RevCheesehead]

79. Click on her icon & hit "refresh" or "show picture"

Not that I'm any kind of computer expert. :D

[SharonRB]

80. Me neither

All I've been seeing all night is your regular Patsy icon.

[Patsy Stone]

85. That's so weird

I see it on this computer, but I changed it at work, so this laptop wouldn't have the picture in its memory. I wonder why?

[ralps]

I'm seeing your black & pink yin & yang Patsy, & I have a Mac

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

[Berry Cool]

62. I might as well keep my avatar the same

as it expresses my concern that my last vote did not count...and part of it involved voting a firm NO against the Ohio constitutional amendment that outlawed gay marriage. Fat lot of good THAT did. :nuke:

[RevCheesehead]

77. I figure mine is a gay bishop (anglican, of course)

Oh Berry, here's your library buddy. :rofl:

[Patsy Stone]

82. I'm sorry, but,

did he grant an interview? I missed the story, but I saw the footage for a second.

[RevCheesehead]

86. who, the bishop, or Berry's library buddy?

I wasn't really paying attention - it just sounded like a recap.

[Patsy Stone]

93. Berry's buddy.

If I saw what I think I saw, he was standing there, in an Ohio State sweatshirt, talking to a news reporter.

[Berry Cool]

95. It was just a recap

But yes, he actually talked to the investigative reporter. Before he knew that the reporter knew what he'd been up to.

Great. Now all of northeast Ohio will be remembered forever as the place where guys hang out whacking their wieners in the library. :scared:

[Catchawave]

9. Hi gang...I do like Brian...

:hi: :loveya: :loveya:

[SharonRB]

13. Hi, Catch!

Nice to have you with us tonight, even if KO skipped out on us.

[Catchawave]

21. Hey dahlin'

:hi:

[Patsy Stone]

17. Hi, Catch!

Nice to see you live and in pixels! :hi:

[Catchawave]

24. Thankee....

I'm reeeling from the Coulter bit w/Matt....euwwwwww.

[Patsy Stone]

109. Why do people let her on TV?

She is a walking hate crime. :mad:

[ralps]

15. Gay Marriage!!! Terror, Terror!!! Yes Right Republicans!! Attempt to bring

out the base by invoking Fear & Prejudice!!! :grr: :puke: :hi: :loveya: :hug: :pals: :grr:

[Patsy Stone]

25. My theory:

They don't give a damn about any of the things they're wasting time with, or even about the people they're pandering to. But, if they can't get enough Republicans to go to the polls, the election won't be within the believable "stealing" range.

Hi, ralps!

[ralps]

46. Hi Patsy

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

[Olney Blue]

16. Hi everyone! Hope you all had a nice day.

:hi:

[Olney Blue]

18. It's actually the Book of Revelation (not plural)

(At least it was in Alabama when I was growing up in the Bible belt!)

[Berry Cool]

34. So I understand

I'm anal that way. :-)

[Patsy Stone]

19. Coulter is such a fucking bitch!

How does she live with herself? Oh, right... She's undead.

She tells Matt: "You're getting testy with me!"

[Olney Blue]

26. She's a pseudo-intellectual fucking bitch.

O8) Please forgive me, Rev, for I have sinned by disparaging another human being.

[Berry Cool]

38. Even God would forgive you for disparaging that creature.

I find it difficult to believe Satan did not make her.

Hey, even KO said today that he thinks she used to be a man.

[Catchawave]

28. 6-6-6-

How appropriate for the she-devil...more euwwwww.

[CBHagman]

90. It's called projection, Annie.

:eyes:

I didnt't anything could make me feel sorry for Matt Lauer, but after Cruise and Coulter, I'll bet he's thinking, "Please, God, no more psychos."

[bleever]

22. I think Brian's warming up and getting a little better.

Please don't flame me!!


:hi:

[Olney Blue]

29. He is much more relaxed than I've seen him.

Is it increasing confidence or mother's little helper?

[bleever]

41. Definitely more relaxed, not trying too hard.

:hi:

[Catchawave]

32. No flames here...

Brian has a soft delivery, and gentle snark. He'll do :hi:

[Berry Cool]

43. A woman married a COBRA?!?!?!?

DAMN INDIA'S ACTIVIST JUDGES!!!! :banghead:

[Olney Blue]

50. Don't worry- snakes are covered in the Defense of Marriage Amend.

[Berry Cool]

56. Ah, is that why so many women claim that they married snakes?

Wonder if they ever took them on a plane. Because you know what THAT would be.

SNAKES ON A PLANE! SNAKES ON A PLANE!

[RevCheesehead]

61. What would Dr. Freud say about that?

:smoke: "sometimes a snake is just a snake."

:hi:

[Patsy Stone]

63. Maybe he's a human-animal hybrid? n/t

[SharonRB]

65. Good one, Pats.

:rofl:

[bleever]

92. Don't laugh. Educate yourself a little:

[Berry Cool]

98. Is he anything like SCTV's "Harry, the Guy with the Snake on His Face,"

proprietor of Harry's Sex Shop?

[Patsy Stone]

99. ...

:rofl:

I think I'll go help some widows and orphans now.

[Patsy Stone]

44. He's not Keef.

But he is getting better. He's not trying so hard.

What is this? GD? If you wanna get flamed, I'm sure you can pick out the proper threads by now. :)

[Kolesar]

116. Brian Unger used to be a Daily Show correspondent

just thought I would share that. :hi:

[ralps]

40. Blegh!! Krispy Kreme Cheeseburgers!!

:hi: :loveya: :hug: :pals: :puke:

[Berry Cool]

51. That's too much grease for even ME.

And I think the four basic food groups are grease, sugar, chocolate and carbs.

[RevCheesehead]

49. Howdy, folks!

I've been listening and tending to laundry (I'm on load #5 out of God knows how many). :hi:

Brian, your material is great, you just gotta sell it. :)

[Berry Cool]

Howdy, Rev!

We're just hangin' out here, discouraged at being abandoned by Keith, wallowing in grease and shit. :-)

[RevCheesehead]

64. Hey, even the best of us needs a break from time to time.

And maybe, just maybe Keef had enough right-wing bullshit dealing with O'Loofah. Me thinks it might be outrage burnout. Keef---->:hug:

:hi:

[Patsy Stone]

54. Laundry

sucks. I'm currently doing two loads. :hug:

[RevCheesehead]

66. Procrastination doesn't work with laundry.

It actually gets worse. I'm out of shirts to wear.

[Patsy Stone]

72. It was taking out the corner in the bedroom

It was approaching the embarassing stage.

[ralps]

57. Hi RevCheesehead, Wow that's a lot of laundry!!

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

[RevCheesehead]

67. Wanna drive up and help me out?

I'll buy pizza. :hi:

[ralps]

89. Well Rev, I'm not sure how long it would take to drive from Milwaukee

to Green Bay, and I usually run the Malloy thread at 9pm, so can I take a rain check? :hi: :loveya: :hug: :pals: :woohoo:

[RevCheesehead]

94. 2 hours.

We'll simply HAVE to do another DU meetup, soon!

[bleever]

59. He's still trying to find that middle ground. And does this lighting

make him look a little wall-eyed?

:hi: Cheese.

[RevCheesehead]

69. I thought Walleye was your brother.

or do you mean this guy?




:hi:

[Patsy Stone]

52. I looooove Krispy Kreme doughnuts

But, not with a burger. :puke:

[ralps]

71. It might be fun to see Judson's movie??

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

[Berry Cool]

74. Man, that guy is an incredible dancer

Now I have to go watch that video!

[Olney Blue]

84. Yes, he is not that handsome, but he's fun to watch.

[ralps]

101. Here's the youtube link to his video

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dMH0bHeiRNg&feature=Favorites&page=1&t=t&f=b
:hi: :loveya: :hug: :pals: :woohoo:

[Patsy Stone]

76. I believe

I said all four of them would get contracts. I know my crap pop music.

[SharonRB]

81. I'm just glad Chris decided to go out on his own

He'll do so much better than lead singer for Fuel.

[Patsy Stone]

106. Yes.

I've seen Fuel. Feh!

:loveya:, Chris.

[CBHagman]

83. If anyone gets the Dante treatment, it's going to be Coulter.

Hey, I have had time to think of this, given the satanic sewer's latest tome. Let the punishment begin!

A day of "fun" for the supposely godly Coulter, and she's not allowed to A) dress like a cheap, desperate hooker and B) shoot off her mouth AT ALL.

1. Dolores Huerta takes her on a day of picking tomatoes or cucumbers.
2. Aging New Dealers reminisce about the good old days when we had a REAL president. Remember, no mouthing off for Ann, and no dressing like a cheap, desperate hooker.
3. Studs Terkel leads retirement home sing-along featuring tunes like "Solidarity Forever." Ann forbidden to shoot off mouth or dress like -- well, you get the picture.
4. Jimmy Carter's Sunday school class! With homework for ol' Ann.
5. Fashion make-over by South Carolina women who believe it is sinful to wear short dresses.

I also have some juicy fantasies involving Ann having to wait on elderly nuns and priests who spent their youths helping Salvadoran refugees and protesting various wars.

Oh, how I've needed to let that out!

[Berry Cool]

87. Uh-oh, Jeannie's come to Phoenix

and poor Brian doesn't really know what to say about it...

He should take a cue from that old movie The Beginning of the End.

"The giant grasshoppers are headed this way. Take shelter in basements!"

[RevCheesehead]

97. "And I, for one, would like to welcome our alien overlords..."

Maybe it's a giant Tazmanian Devil?

[RevCheesehead]

91. And I'm so glad you did!

That was wonnerful!! :applause:

Hi, CB :hi:

[CBHagman]

105. Hey, Rev! Up for an exorcism?

I mean, it's a good day for it and all. You can start with my co-workers and end with Ann Coulter and Bill O'Reilly. :scared:

[Patsy Stone]

88. And a big shout out to Steph!

Because 940 AM finally began carrying her show. :loveya:

[Olney Blue]

100. That's great!

Patsy, can you see my updated avatar and sig line?

[ralps]

102. Cool changes Olney Blue!!

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

[Olney Blue]

103. Thanks! I miss my donkey, but it was the least I could do.

[Patsy Stone]

104. I see the flag icon

and the sig says, My constitution's in crisis. Is that right?

[Olney Blue]

107. My Constitution is in crisis. Correct.

:hi: Thanks!

[Patsy Stone]

110. How about:

Leave me alone, I'm having a Constitutional crisis? :)

[Olney Blue]

113. LOL!

[bleever]

96. Hey, Larry King is at the "Q". (As a guest).

That is all.

[Patsy Stone]

111. What is the Q?

Does it have something to do with Quincy Jones? :)

Also -- Get your pies for the great pie fight:

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=364x1369168

I'll be surprised if this thread lasts. But I'll also be surprised if it doesn't make the Greatest Page before it goes away.

[bleever]

112. LOFL. Talk about yer flamebait.

I liked the photo in tuvor's reply:





ed: typoe

[Patsy Stone]

114. :)

That *was* good. At least, it doesn't seem like there are too many takers. I think calling him "Justin" in the OP might have done it. :rofl:

[Patsy Stone]

115. Give Billy some love... RIP.
