KOEB Meeting: 06/22/06 -- Mean Mr. Mustard Edition

[Patsy Stone]

[WestHoustonDem]

1. Hi Patsy! Everyone!

Weapons of Mild Discomfort :rofl:

[Patsy Stone]

4. Capable of producing the equivalent of a rug burn.

LOL! Hi, WHD!

[Berry Cool]

16. Yeah, and not nearly as much fun to get.

:hi: Hola, chicas! It's another 30 Rock Night! Keith did his own hair again, and he looks much better dressed.

I'm so glad Keith is dismantling the "Weapons of Mass Distraction." Sheesh. I was getting SO annoyed just listening to Rummy again. And now I have to keep listening to this "cut and run, cut and run" crap over and over again.

Alter is right: the Dems need to make "the President's failed strategy in Iraq" THEIR mantra they keep repeating over and over.

[Patsy Stone]

76. They need a cohesive message

Because the press has no desire to help them point out the points of a withdrawl plan. It has to be in small words like "cut and run" (which sounds like the name of the next Steven Segal movie). No attention span, plus a plan = victory.

:hi:, Berry.

[ralps]

2. Hi Patsy, Hi Everyone, Was that John McCain standing next to Santorum???

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

[Patsy Stone]

5. Hi, ralps!

I didn't see, sorry. :hi:

[Olney Blue]

3. Hi Patsy!

:hi:

Sanctimoron is going down!

[Clark2008]

15. Santorum belongs in a santorium.

eom

[Patsy Stone]

51. Can he get much lower?

I think I've missed saying hi so far.

[bleever]

6. At this point, I don't think

Santorum could find a dog who'd have intercourse with him if he tried.

[WestHoustonDem]

10. There's always Jeff Gannon n/t

[Olney Blue]

7. Steve Martinesque-looking weapons expert

Nailing Sanctimoron's faulty "intelligence"

[ralps]

8. Yay!! He calls Santorum's comments a Farce!!!

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

[bleever]

9. Weapons of Mass Irritation!

Pathetic.

:rofl:

[Patsy Stone]

12. That's the name

for this whole administration. :hi:

[bleever]

24. I had that same thought.

:hi:

[ralps]

11. LOL Jonathan Alter calls it a pathetic hail mary pass!!

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

[Clark2008]

18. And he was right - if the Dems don't grow a spine and prove

themselves not inept, well... to the briarpatch they go.

[ralps]

28. Yes the dems need to grow a spine especially the 6 dems that voted

against Levin's amendment-
Dayton (D-MN),
Landrieu (D-LA),
Lieberman (D-CT),
Nelson (D-FL)
Nelson (D-NE)
Pryor (D-AR)

:hi: :loveya: :hug: :pals: :grr:

[Patsy Stone]

43. Bill Nelson is a conservative Democrat

Less so than Joementum, but very conservative nonetheless. That's what he ran on, that's what was expected. No surprise. He's also up for re-election.

[ralps]

47. I would much rather have Bill Nelson than Katherine Harris :scared: at

least we can hopefully get Ned Lamont in & Joe-mentum out!! :hi: :loveya: :hug: :pals: :woohoo:

[Clark2008]

13. Mean Mr. Mustard sleeps in the park,

Shaves in the dark trying to save paper
Sleeps in a hole in the road
Saving up to buy some clothes
Keeps a ten-bob note up his nose
Such a mean old man
Such a mean old man

His sister Pam works in a shop
She never stops, she's a go-getter
Takes him out to look at the queen
Only place that he's ever been
Always shouts out something obscene
Such a dirty old man
Dirty old man


:hi: KOEBers!

[Olney Blue]

35. Hi Clark. Did the General weigh in on the two resolutions?

[Gogi]

14. Is'nt it a pathetic, ugly mess when politicians self destruct?

Not to mention when entire parties self destruct? :rofl:

[Berry Cool]

19. And now for a homegrown terror threat

and from where does it come?...FLORIDA!!!!

[Patsy Stone]

53. Frankly, I love watching everyone in disaray in both parties

The Dems as they try and get on the same page; the Repubs as they try and keep everyone on the same page.

:popcorn:

[bleever]

17. Keef's definitely got his New York hair on tonight.

And ignoring the KOEB advice on the glasses.

[Berry Cool]

22. "KOEB advice"?? WHAT "KOEB advice?"

There IS no "KOEB advice."

Everyone else seems to hate his glasses. I, however, LOVE them.

He's taking my advice. :loveya: :rofl:

[WolverineDG]

25. I'm sure folks would like his glasses better if

he would wear the Garcia tie.

;)

dg

[bleever]

30. Now there's a fashion tip we can all agree on.

:thumbsup:

[Patsy Stone]

34. I was thinking

if he wore the glasses with the grey suit, you and Berry could have a little party. :)

:hi:

[WolverineDG]

37. Heya Pats!

Congrats on the Heat win! I was :bounce: :bounce: because I wanted the Mavs to lose soooo badly. :evilgrin:

dg

[Berry Cool]

49. I would love to have a little party. With him as the invitee.

That could be nice. :loveya:

[Clark2008]

39. Ramz bought Gav a Garcia tie for Father's Day!

Gav's first (step) Father's Day!

[gkhouston]

44. hope it was a nice one

They had an ugly tie contest at church for Father's Day. Hubby was a finalist. :rofl:

[WolverineDG]

48. True story

for years, my mom would "conspire" with us to get my dad the most horrific ties imaginable & in the 70's that wasn't too hard. ;) There were gales of laughter each time he opened one of those god-awful things & moaned & carried on about how awful it was & why oh why wouldn't we ever get him a decent tie?

Turns out the joke was on us. My dad hated wearing ties & he actually loved getting the god-awful ones because it was his strike against "the Man" & whenever someone commented on how bad they were, he'd have fun watching their reaction when he said "My kids got it for me. Don't you like it?" :rofl:

dg

[Clark2008]

55. It was.

It's called, "Scaley Monster." :rofl:

[gkhouston]

68. um, I actually kinda like it.

:blush:

[Patsy Stone]

54. How sweet.

I'm sure he sailed through with flying colors.

:hi:

[bleever]

29. My apologies. I should have "KOEB's overwhelming consensus".

But apparently Keef sides with you on this one.

[gkhouston]

40. either that or he'll quietly replace the glasses months from now when

he thinks we won't connect the substitution with the comments. :7 Although to be fair, it takes forever to get a decent pair of bifocals made, so he probably wouldn't have had time to replace them even if he'd wanted to.

[Berry Cool]

46. Just a darned minute here.

What proof on earth do we have that Keith wears bifocals?

Maybe they're just glasses.

[gkhouston]

65. Chill. Given his age, he probably needs them, especially since

he spends a fair bit of time sitting in front of a computer. I've known quite a few people who went to the progressive lens bifocals to avoid getting a special pair of glasses for computer use. (It's not a glare issue, it's a reading tiny print at an intermediate distance issue.)

[Berry Cool]

78. I'm not unchilled. I just wanted to know.

Some people in their forties have worn glasses for decades, and their vision is just plain bad at any distance, so they have regular lenses. He *could* be one of those.

I'm in my forties, I sit in front of a computer all day, and I wear one kind of glasses all the time for all purposes and have since I was nine years old. I doubt I am ever going to need bifocals, because I just can't read any size print at ANY distance, on a computer or not, without glasses. :rofl:

Sometimes glasses are bifocals and sometimes they're just glasses. No big deal either way, I just thought it could be a mistake to just assume he wears bifocals because of his age. Seems to me like all the people I know who had to wear bifocals as they aged started out not having to wear ANY glasses.

[gkhouston]

85. no, actually I know quite a few people who have worn glasses most of

their lives who needed bifocals as they aged. Actually, the only people I know over the age of forty who have glasses and don't wear bifocals either have a separate pair of reading glasses or they simply shove their glasses up on their forehead and put the book up close to their face to read fine print.

[Berry Cool]

89. Maybe that will happen to me too. Don't know.

But so far I am an exception to that rule, I guess. My glasses are my "everything glasses."

If I tried to read fine print without my glasses, it would be an exercise in futility. It would also be me squinting with only one eye because the other is miserably astigmatic.

[gkhouston]

91. ah, then it's probably the astigmatism

(Damn, that word never looks like it's spelled properly.) I have poor vision but relatively little astigmatism, so it's easy enough to correct my vision; just expensive. :(

[Olney Blue]

20. Ouch! Jonathan Alter says the Dems might be too inept

to keep fighting against blivet's biggest failure- the war.

[Patsy Stone]

21. Okay, that was my question

Because if these guys were recently from out of town terrorists, they would have been found because no one in that neighborhood recognized them. Poor, almost totally African-American, heavily policed area.

[Catchawave]

26. Patsy - you the 50.000th post

:party: :toast: :party:

Yes, I have no life :silly:

Great show tonight!!!! :loveya:

[Patsy Stone]

31. Really?

Wow! Good for us! We sure can talk.

:toast: :loveya: all!

[WolverineDG]

32. How do you check post counts for Groups?

I know how to check my own post count.

dg

[ralps]

41. I was wondering that too??

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

[Patsy Stone]

45. Here, on the far right.

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_topics&forum=349

[ralps]

52. Oh!! Thanks Patsy!!

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

[WolverineDG]

92. Thanks, Pats!

:hi:

dg

[gkhouston]

42. woohoo Patsy!!

:toast:

[Berry Cool]

27. I'll be damned if these idiots make the Dems the problem again.

Somewhere along the line, someone has to have learned SOMETHING!!

[WolverineDG]

23. Evening all!

I'm a cut & run Democrat--CUT THE CRAP & RUN THE COUNTRY!!!! :rant:

:hi:

Wow, glad to see the WMD announcement blowing up in Santorum's face. Couldn't happen to a nicer guy, well, except maybe that asshole Cornyn.

dg

[Botany]

33. KO has morphed into Floyd the Barber

take a good look!



looks like KO with Crispy's tie?

that was an early Floyd pix too.

[Patsy Stone]

36. Please stop.

:rofl:

[Berry Cool]

38. Aw, come on!! That was two eyeglass frames ago!!!

Now you're going to have me thinking about the SCTV episode where they're parodying the Godfather and Floyd goes to him to have Opie killed for breaking his barber pole.

[Berry Cool]

50. This strains credibility.

How could a woman have a man hiding under her bed and NOT KNOW IT????

[Berry Cool]

57. Alligator rings the doorbell in S. Carolina! and more Bill-O insanity!!!!

Love it!!!!

ed: Drat, I hoped it was Fla-la-la again!!

[RevCheesehead]

56. "Speaking of large reptiles..."

:rofl: You know, this show is worth it, just for that crack alone!

Hi, all. We're waiting for the pizza to arrive. Spent a day at Bay Beach amusement park, and Lambeau Field. Oy. Too easy to spend money!

[Botany]

59. Did I ever tell you that you are my Fav?

Delivery Bay Air

[RevCheesehead]

62. Hey! C'mon over!

There's plenty for everyone. :hug:

[Berry Cool]

63. I gather the tundra isn't frozen this time of year.

Keith does a great shark, doesn't he?

He's having such fun doing this show. I love it.

Oh, and my theory as to why he's in NY tonight: Mets game this afternoon. He took off from Dan's show too (which wasn't so bad as Dan wasn't on anyway).

[Patsy Stone]

58. Candygram.

:loveya:

[ralps]

60. LOL Factor Fiction again!!!

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

[WestHoustonDem]

61. Factor Fiction! Gather round! n/t

[Berry Cool]

72. Bill-O takes another hit. Couldn't happen to a nicer guy.

But Keith failed to ask Connie Chung the obvious question: is she going to sing with William Hung now?

[gkhouston]

75. have we ever seen Chung and Hung together?

:freak:

[WestHoustonDem]

83. Ouch! I think the world would implode if she did

:scared:

[ralps]

64. Here's the Chicago Tribune Article

http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/opinion/chi-0606220008jun22,0,7808911.story?coll=chi-newsopinioncommentary-hed
:hi: :loveya: :hug: :pals: :woohoo:

[ralps]

66. Connie Chung says her singing routine was just a joke!!

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

[Olney Blue]

67. Listening to Connie just killed my remaining nerve cell today.

[gkhouston]

71. thanks for the warning. I'll fast-forward through that bit

when the munchkin relinquishes control of the set. Right now, it's beginning of The Princess Bride. Again.

[Patsy Stone]

77. Aw, I love that movie.

In fact, I should go put it on. It's better than Citizen Joe talking about the FBI raid. They keep showing the same video or still of the Sears Tower, even though the story is in Miami. :eyes:

:hi:

[gkhouston]

81. she saw a scene or two about a month back while we were flipping

channels right before bedtime and was fascinated by it. We bought the book the next day and have been reading it to her, a few pages at a time, ever since. We've subsequently purchased the movie but she's not allowed to watch the movie beyond the point we've reached in the book. She really got excited when she realized Count Ruegen was the six-fingered man and is pestering me to know whether Inigo Montoya will meet him before the end of the book. It's pretty cute listening to a 5-year-old say, "My name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die."

[Patsy Stone]

93. LOL!

I'll bet it is. What about the Rodents of Unusual Size?

Have fun storming the castle!

[gkhouston]

95. oh, she thinks R.O.U.S. is a funny abbreviation

but found them a bit scary the first time she saw them on TV. They don't seem to faze her now, though. I'm really looking forward to getting to the end of the story. :-)

[Patsy Stone]

69. Oh, Connie!

I just don't know what to say.

[Patsy Stone]

70. And a big Keith fan!

Okay, I might forgive the singing.

[gkhouston]

73. now don't set any precedents

what if KKKarl claimed to be a big Keith fan?

[Patsy Stone]

79. Not even in the same league

Connie's Connie. KKKarl's the devil.

There's bad karaoke... and then there's unadulterated evil.

[Botany]

74. Did I ever tell you that you are my Fav?

Connie was Bitter.

Husband in sex scandal, her show sucked, and she was being canned ..... she was not only burning
bridges she was blowing 'em up.

[Berry Cool]

80. Well, she blowed it up real good, didn't she?

And she didn't napalm it. Unlike certain people we can name. :rofl:

[SharonRB]

82. Anyone still around?

We still need more recommendations on this thread:

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=132&topic_id=2691666&mesg_id=2691666

Sorry I missed you all tonight. The fundraiser was great -- I'm at the office now with the staff and my hubby having some of the leftover shrimp. etc.

[WestHoustonDem]

84. Done. Enjoy! n/t

[SharonRB]

87. Thanks, WHD!

[gkhouston]

86. I'm still here but I already recommended that thread.

Leftover shrimp... yum.

[SharonRB]

88. Thanks, GK

Okay, who's holding out? Only got a few from you guys.

[Berry Cool]

90. I did it. Done and accounted for.

:patriot:

on edit: Drat, now I have that song "Mean Mr. Mustard" stuck in my head and it won't go away. Thanks a lot Patsela!

(Although it is more than appropriate for Mr. Santorum.)

[Patsy Stone]

94. Done!

Didja look good?

[SharonRB]

96. Thanks, Pats

I looked ab fab! I didn't really need the sequins, but I was fine -- just the right touch.

[Patsy Stone]

97. Excellent!

Missed you tonight. Even bunny was there. :)

The sparkle always adds that je nais se quois.

I'm gonna go eat dinner. :hi:

[SharonRB]

98. Missed you guys, too

I was watching upstairs -- I can't get rid of a killer headache. Going to read tonight's thread now.
