[nadine_mn]

1. what the heck

is there a party of Countdown hosts I am missing

[Berry Cool]

6. Welcome Nadine!

(or welcome back, whichever it is!) :hi:

Guess David Shuster couldn't do tonight so they're giving Richard a try.

[SharonRB]

2. Wolffie!

I just finished reading Renegade. Nice to see him filling in. I won't be here long. Nancy's going to be on CNBC again.

[Berry Cool]

7. Well, tell us how she does.

I trust she won't let herself get screamed over. :hi:

[ralps]

3. Hi Berry Cool! Hi Everyone!

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

[RevCheesehead]

34. Oh, ralps!

:hi: Hi to you and Crook!

[ralps]

65. Hi RevCheesehead, Crook & I are doing good & Hi to Oreo, CC & lil' Keith! How are you all doing?

I got it from SeattleGirl! :hi: :loveya: :hug: :pals: :woohoo:

[RevCheesehead]

70. CC is still missing.

But I'll pass along your message to the other two. :)

[ralps]

76. Oh dear & I posted 2 cool kitty gifs below

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

[GigiMommy]

[RevCheesehead]

79. please do!!

Tell Cassie we all need prayers, since the other kitties miss him so much! We want him home, now!

:hi:

[Botany]

4. My President is a grown up

No ego. That is what a real man (or EDV) acts.

[bleever]

5. No conTROVersy about that.

Richard's doing a pretty good job, for his maiden voyage on the S.S. Countdown.

[Berry Cool]

8. Hi also to ralps, Bot and bleev!

:hi: Yeah, he's fast (kind of the anti-Brian Unger) but snappy.

[Botany]

9. Join me for a swim?

[Berry Cool]

11. Gladly.

Please don't tell the otters.

[bleever]

13. Dam, that looks good.

Can't beat good tail.

[Patsy Stone]

10. How cool is that!?

How's he doing? I just got home.

How are you all doin'? :hi: Good Shabbos!

[Berry Cool]

12. Shabbat Shazzam, Patsela!

:hi: You're back just in time to catch Richard.

Of course, GD now thinks Shuster was removed because of the argument he got into at the end of last night's show... *sigh* Um, I think he was only PLANNING to do the show until tonight anyway.

[Patsy Stone]

24. What's GD without a little conspiracy theory?

:hi:

I have to go have a piece of pizza. Be back in a flash.

[SharonRB]

75. The parts I saw he did fine

I learned in "Renegade" that he's half-Morroccan Jew (mother) half British Jew (father). The British half was obvious, but I didn't know his mother was Morroccan.

:hi:

[Patsy Stone]

87. An exotic Jew!

:hi:

I thought he did well. I enjoyed the interview with Robert Gibbs.

Lawrence O'Donnell and the description of Sarah Palin as part of the Pat Buchanan "pitchfork" wing of the party made me laugh.

[GigiMommy]

14. Hi Everybody!!! Happy Friday!

:hi: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce:

I'm in and out. Tending to an under-the-weather Freckles.

[Berry Cool]

16. Hi GGM and Cassie!

Bot doesn't mind if you go in and out... :hi:

[GigiMommy]

19. Hey Berry!!!

:hi: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce:

Happy Friday to you!!!

[Berry Cool]

28. And Happy Friday to you too!

[Patsy Stone]

59. Poor puppy.

:(

:hi:, GGM!

[GigiMommy]

82. Hi Patsy!!!

:hi: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce:

[SeattleGirl]

15. Hi everyone! Sorry I'm late with the cocktails.

:toast:

[Berry Cool]

17. Where the HELL were YOU, SG????

... :rofl: Just kiddin'. Thanks, I'll take the pink one with the red flower! :hi:

[SeattleGirl]

18. Oh, that darned ol' MrSG insisted on taking me out for dinner!

:rofl:

[Berry Cool]

22. What torture that must've been, eh?

Bet you enjoyed every second of it.

[SeattleGirl]

30. You're right, I did!

Well, except for the headache I've had for 5 hours, but it's finally subsiding, thank goodness.

[GigiMommy]

21. Hi SG!!! Happy Friday. I'll take the blue one please.

:hi: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce:

Thank you.

[SeattleGirl]

32. Hi Gigi!

Good choice!

[Patsy Stone]

63. Well...

Thank GOD you're here now. Thanks!

:hi:

[SeattleGirl]

67. Shabbot Shazzam, Pats!

Drink up, girl! :toast:

[SeattleGirl]

20. "Gets his baseballs bashed."

:rofl:

[Berry Cool]

23. Poor B-Mets bee...

...got stung in the stinger.

[SeattleGirl]

26. Ha!

Good one, Berry!

[RavensChick]

33. I wrote it down so I can use it sometime!

Happy Friday, Berry!

:hi:

[Berry Cool]

46. Well, give credit to the Countdown crew, not me

I'm just repeating what Richard said!

[RavensChick]

60. Kudos to them!

They're the most creative group out there. Now, if only MSNBC can get rid of the high definition captions! I don't like it and I know Keith doesn't either.

[WolverineDG]

25. Stung in the stinger

:rofl:

:hi:

30 minutes til the Torchwood finale! :woohoo:

dg

[RavensChick]

27. Whoa!! Rich in the Big Chair tonight!!

I love it! He's doing great so far. Even Oddball was hilarious!

Happy Friday, everyone!!!!

:hi:

[Berry Cool]

31. Hi, RC!!

:hi: Yes, he keeps things going at a nice clip, that's for sure.

[RavensChick]

38. His interview w/ Robert Gibbs is very good.

This is one press secretary we can truly count on!

:hi:

[RevCheesehead]

29. You know, just listening to Richard...

makes me think I'm hearing Mr. Peabody.




:hi: Hi, everyone!

[SeattleGirl]

35. Rev, dahling!!!!!

Nice to see you! How're the new digs?

:loveya: :hi:

[RevCheesehead]

37. Well, I can almost see the kitchen floor!

Unpacking is going s-l-o-w-l-y. Oreo is out of sorts, and Keith is lost without CC.
This is going to be a terrific place! :)

:hi: :loveya:

[SeattleGirl]

39. Glad you're gonna like it.

So, has CC been found?

[RevCheesehead]

44. No, the little bastid is still AWOL.

My friend Sue and I think he's lounging by the lake, surrounded by all the girl kitties, wearing gold chains and a mood ring, and perhaps one of those hats with the beer cans. He thinks he's a cool cat. B-)

[SeattleGirl]

47. LOL!

That's a great visual!

[RevCheesehead]

50. Surely ralps has a gif of that!

:P

[SeattleGirl]

51. I just tried to find one, but couldn't.

:(

[ralps]

73. How about this gif RevCheesehead?

Or this one?



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

[RevCheesehead]

83. I'd have to go with the first one.

Right now, I don't think he's really in the "cool" category. More like the "little s**t" category.

[RavensChick]

71. Oh, so he's a playa?

He'll be back when the girl kitties come after him for child support, LOL!

:rofl:

[Patsy Stone]

72. Kitty Daddy Drama

:)

[RevCheesehead]

78. That would be something.

The little s*** is neutered, but (as my friend said) just like most men, he has no idea that he's neutered. :evilgrin:

[GigiMommy]

80. ...

:rofl:

[bleever]

42. Congrats on your new digs, Cheeseness!

:toast:

:hi:

[RevCheesehead]

45. Thanks!

It's the first time I really feel like this is home since, well, since living at home. :)

:hi:

[Berry Cool]

49. REVVVV!!!!!!!

:hi: So glad to see you back!!!! Sorry to hear CC hasn't returned, though.

[RevCheesehead]

52. There have been a few sightings.

And, the high school kids know there's a good reward out for his return, so they're looking!

Nice to see ya, Berry. How are you doing? :hi: :hug:

[Berry Cool]

68. I'm holdin' up all right.

Glad you are too. :hug:

[RavensChick]

41. Hi, Rev!!

Good to see you tonight!! All moved in?

:hi:

[RevCheesehead]

48. Hi RC!

Yes and no. All my stuff is here, except for the orange cat. He apparently thinks he's at summer camp. :eyes:

:hi:

[RavensChick]

54. When the first snowfall hits,

he'll realize he's not in Kansas anymore. He'll get used to it.

[RevCheesehead]

57. There are lots of thunderstorms forecast for this weekend.

I'm hoping that might get the message through to him. :)

[RavensChick]

69. It will.

He would've jumped through his skin if was near my way last night. A large roll of thunderstorms came through the DC area so that's why I gave my PC the night off.

[Patsy Stone]

56. Rev!

:loveya:

How are ya?? I haven't seen you in forEVER!

[RevCheesehead]

62. I was tangled in wrapping paper and packing tape!

I just now got free. It was nice of Keith to take the week off, so I could get some work done. :)

:hi::loveya:

[Patsy Stone]

36. Grassley spelled Pelosi's name wrong?

Pelosie? :wtf:

[bleever]

40. I heard him explaining previous misspellings

by saying that of course he can spell, he was just saving letters.

:wtf:

:hi:

[Patsy Stone]

53. Well, so he's been saving up

and this is where he decided to buy a vowel.

:hi:

[RavensChick]

43. Grassley can't even get his own name right.

The guy's a jerk.

:hi:

[Patsy Stone]

55. Step away from the Twitter, old man.

:hi:, rc! Happy Friday! :toast:

[Berry Cool]

61. You can always tell when Keith is out because they use at least one canned NBC News piece as filler.

But "First Grandma" is at least nice filler.

Sarah Palin--"End of an Error" :rofl:

[RavensChick]

64. He's on Twitter?!?!?!

Okay, that's another idjit I won't follow. Thanks.

:hi:

[Berry Cool]

66. This should amuse...

[Patsy Stone]

89. Perfect.

:rofl:

[bleever]

58. "Old Man Tweets at Cloud"

:rofl:

[SeattleGirl]

74. "Putting the twit back in Twitter"

:rofl:

[RavensChick]

81. Well, she won't have to worry about me following her.

I'd rather follow Grassley.

[SeattleGirl]

84. I follow her, just for giggles.

And some of the comments from other folks I follow are absolutely hysterical.

[RavensChick]

85. Wonderful job, Richard!!!!!

All in favor of Richard subbing for Keith from now on raise your hands!!!!

I'm sure it's official.

Have a great weekend, everyone! Be there, Aloha!!!
