KOEB 8/16/06 Jon Bennet Ramsey's Killer Arrested, added image & LOL

[ralps]

Keith's goofy grin!!

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

[Patsy Stone]

1. Dan Abrams, no tie,

Front and center! Some stories are too big not to cover yourself.

:hi:, all!

[RevCheesehead]

2. That's kinda disappointing.

I always loved laughing at Dan's awful ties. :hi:

What a relief to the Ramsey's.

[Patsy Stone]

14. An unbelieveable ending

in an unbeleiveable place. It's a shame her mother did live to see it, but it's good that she knew there was hope.

:hi:, Rev!

[ralps]

7. Hi Patsy, I'm going to my meeting in about 25 minutes or so, could you

take over? :hi: :loveya: :hug: :pals: :woohoo:

[Patsy Stone]

11. Love to

Enjoy! How's the menagerie?

[ralps]

17. They're doing good & I'm loving my volunteer work with the Kitties at

www.ebhs.org !! :hi: :loveya: :hug: :pals: :woohoo:

[Patsy Stone]

21. Well...

Now what's not to love??

KITTIES!!! :loveya:

[Olney Blue]

3. Hi ralps.

Dan Abrams interviewed by Keith- really good.

[ralps]

8. Hi Olney Blue

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

[RevCheesehead]

4. Hi ralps!

I talked to the person at Cats Anonymous today! :hi:

[ralps]

10. Hi RevCheesehead, Is that where your Kitties are coming from or have

you discovered that you're addicted to cats? If you're addicted to Kitties so am I. :hi: :loveya: :hug: :pals: :woohoo:

[RevCheesehead]

18. Oddly enough, it's the name of the cat rescue organization.

I found out today that my vet was one of the organizers in getting the group off the ground!

Their mission is to trap, examine, spay/neuter, vaccinate/deworm, and release feral cats. Any kittens found are spayed/neutered, given their shots, and put up for adoption. They monitor all feral colonies, and provide food, water and shelter; and all kitties are kept in foster homes until adopted.

My next step is to get a phone call from CC & Keith's foster mom, and set up a time to meet, then take home my new babies!!! :bounce::bounce:

[Olney Blue]

26. Awww- that's wonderful. Kitties are special creatures!

[ralps]

27. Yay!!! It sounds like you'll get to take them home soon!!!

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

[RevCheesehead]

33. Is this weird, or what?

I've been crying on and off all afternoon about this. In some ways, I'm feeling the loss of Roo even stronger, and even a bit of guilt, wondering if I'm betraying his memory.

[ralps]

43. No Rev you aren't!!!

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

[RevCheesehead]

45. Thanks, hon.

It's been hard, because for 10 years, it was the four of us. I just really, really miss my little man. He was so sweet. :)

[Berry Cool]

48. Roo would be honored to know you are proving you can love again

as you loved Roo, by giving other cats in need a home.

That cat smiles down from the Rainbow Bridge.

[RevCheesehead]

53. Aw, now I'm crying again....

but for completely different reasons. Thanks :hug:

[Olney Blue]

52. You are not betraying Roo's memory....

he taught you alot of wonderful cat secrets for the happiness of your next babies!

[RevCheesehead]

55. Yes, he sure did.

I never knew cats would eat popcorn, doritos, mushrooms, olives, yogurt, or just about anything that ended up on my plate! :)

[Patsy Stone]

63. Olives

Mouse loves olives. He goes berserk. More than catnip.

[RevCheesehead]

111. Is that before or after the martini?

[Patsy Stone]

113. His or mine? n/t

[RevCheesehead]

115. LOL!

A real kitty-cocktail! :toast:

[Berry Cool]

66. I had one of those omnivorous cats.

He even ate styrofoam packing. I couldn't leave it where he could get at it. Thought it was popcorn. Popcorn made him insane with desire.

[RevCheesehead]

114. Mine was a 17-lb garbage can.

The only thing he didn't like was fruit. Not like he didn't try, though.

[Patsy Stone]

60. No.

No, you're not. :hug:

[Patsy Stone]

31. We're gonna need pictures

You were right. :)

[RevCheesehead]

36. I'm gonna need a digital camera.

In the meantime, here's the link to the site:

http://catsanonymous.org/index.html

Pics here for CC and 9 Lives:
http://search.petfinder.com/shelterSearch/shelterSearch.cgi?animal=&breed=&age=&size=&specialNeeds=&declawedPets=&children=&status=&id=&internal=&contact=&name=&shelterid=WI245&sort=&preview=1

[Patsy Stone]

39. They are adorable!

You're doing a good thing, and the right thing.

And Keith will always be wearing the gray suit! :)

[RevCheesehead]

41. OMG! I never thought of that!

I'm gonna have to buy him a teeny, teeny Garcia tie now! :rofl:

[ralps]

47. Maybe you can make him a tiny Garcia type tie!!

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

[RevCheesehead]

58. I'm gonna do my best... and THEN,

send a picture of him to Keith. "Behold, the power of suggestion." :evilgrin:

[Berry Cool]

61. Good thing about cats, though:

The ones with stripes? They all go in the same direction.

And no grids.

[RevCheesehead]

67. No, but Roo had a transsept on his back.

transsept: floor plan of a cathedral, in the shape of a cross.
Roo's full name was "The Bishop of Roominster Tabby."

[Berry Cool]

101. Wow! A cross!

You could have sold that cat on eBay!!

[Patsy Stone]

5. Didja see this?

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=315x55419

[ralps]

13. Yes I did!!

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

[Berry Cool]

32. Keith will find it amusing that he has, of all things, a SOCCER team

named for him.

"Couldn't it be something more interesting?"

Big Dawg, you tell Dim Son he'd better be careful about making hay!

[Patsy Stone]

34. Better

A FANTASY soccer team. :rofl:

[Olney Blue]

6. Yikes! That green tie and pink shirt on the talking head scares me.

:scared:

[RevCheesehead]

22. They need to post a visual warning: BYOS

Bring Your Own Sunglasses. x(

[Patsy Stone]

28. It IS awful

And so is Keith's combo. You know I couldn't help but take a shot at it.

For Wolvie: The gray suit.
For no one: add to it the taupe and black striped tie and blue and white striped shit.

:hi:, Olney!

[RevCheesehead]

38. I like his tie.

I've always liked this tie.
It's the substitute for our first tie (which we will never see again, thanks to some idjit blogging about ties and nonesuch! :grr:).

[Patsy Stone]

42. You're right

I like this tie. But I always think of the not-our-tie tie as the replacement. :)

[Olney Blue]

9. What about that note that was left? Handwriting analysis?

[RevCheesehead]

12. Oh, the Big Dawg barks at the blivet!!

Just what did Sharon write in that birthday card?! :evilgrin:

[Olney Blue]

16. My understanding was that it was her phone number.

;-)

[RevCheesehead]

24. LOL

And a quick note, saying she bought a beret for the occasion. :D

[SharonRB]

125. Hey -- all I said was "You're still my president."

Then I signed "Happy Birthday," my name and my city and state.

[rusty charly]

15. i'm late!

:hi:

[Olney Blue]

19. Hi rusty charly- nice to see you!

:hi:

[ralps]

20. Hi rusty charly

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

[rusty charly]

23. all jon benet

[Berry Cool]

25. Me too!

:hi: all! But I've been watching Keith all the while!

Well, this story isn't over yet, but we may have a lot of long-sought answers soon. We will see. It would be nice for these parents to be vindicated at last.

Keith is still pretty stripey tonight.

Cats Anonymous? Is that where cats have to stand up in front of other cats and say "Hi, my name is Joe W. and I'm...a cat."

"Hi, Joe!"

[RevCheesehead]

29. Yup.

except it's more like, "Meow. Meow-mow-mow-mow Mrrraah, me me-ah, meooowh!"

[ralps]

35. Hi BerryBush, LOL

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

[Olney Blue]

40. I'm a cat, and I'm powerless over milk and salmon.

[Berry Cool]

51. I have put my faith in a Higher Power

that person who fills my food dish.

[Olney Blue]

57. Purrrrrr-fect!

[crispini]

84. Bwahahahahaha! Best. Subthread. Ever.

[bleever]

30. I know Keef is interested in the JonBenet story as a media phenomenon,

but me: not so much.

:hi:

[Olney Blue]

37. I hope this story goes away fast.

[Patsy Stone]

44. I don't know

The Gee Whiz factor, the possible trial, endless hours of footage, and no one disappearing from a cruise ship recently? I think it's here for a while. :(

[RevCheesehead]

46. Maybe Reeter can devote hour-long specials to the trial?

And everyone else could mention it in passing?

There's NO WAY this would make Puppet Theater. Way too tacky.

[Patsy Stone]

50. I was just about to say

Imagine you're Rita and Nancy Grace right now? They're gonna need to take a shower after this story!

[Berry Cool]

54. Nah, someone died. Actually, two. It won't make Puppet Theatre.

But you can bet Rita Skeeter will milk it for all its worth. She'll probably do a week's worth of specials on it.

[bleever]

59. I guess with an MSNBC exclusive, and Dan's interview, this story

deserves its forty minutes tonight.

I do feel really bad for the family.

[rusty charly]

49. delta burke IS patsy ramsey

[Patsy Stone]

56. Separated at Birth?

:hi:

[rusty charly]

64. who plays the husband?

[Olney Blue]

65. John Mahoney as Mr. Ramsey?

[rusty charly]

70. that's good

[babylonsister]

62. Me, not so much either. YAWN! nt

[Berry Cool]

71. Well, now we're on to the politics.

You go Bill!

"Mohawk" and "caca"? Isn't THAT a bit of a reach?!?

[Patsy Stone]

68. But now you get the POTUS on a Harley footage

LOL!

:hi:

[Patsy Stone]

69. Sharon! Watch the show later!

It was Michigan Bill footage for two seconds (no audio)!!!

I didn't see you, though. :hi:

[SharonRB]

128. Thanks, Pats

I'll have to tape the late show.

[rusty charly]

72. MACACA!

keith gives good news cycle

[crispini]

73. Helllllllllllooooo ladies!

:hi::bounce::loveya::hi::bounce::loveya::hi::bounce::loveya::hi::bounce::loveya::hi::bounce::loveya::hi::bounce::loveya:

[Patsy Stone]

75. Hey, girl!

How are ya?

:loveya: :hi:

[crispini]

81. Fabulous!

Another good day. And you? :D

[Patsy Stone]

95. It was a good day over here too!

Not so lucky as to work from home, but I finally had a few hours to take it easy at work, which is rare.

New trainee working out well so far. Keep your fingers crossed.

[crispini]

102. I will, madam!

Good luck indeed to you! :)

[RevCheesehead]

77. It's about time!

Hiya, Crispi!

[crispini]

82. Hola! Your new furbabies are soooo cute!

I looked at the link on Cats Anonymous. They're so sweet! :loveya:

[RevCheesehead]

85. Keith and Craig?

You betcha. It's virtual furbaby heaven!! :loveya:

[CC]

89. Hi Goddess of the Golden Handcuffs

You were missed. Glad to read of all the good news in your life.:hug:

[crispini]

99. Hi CC!

Can't belive the Rev is adopting your namesake! That's so cool!

[CC]

118. I think it is too, and then to get

9 lives and name him Keith. Wonder it little Keith will develope a strong kitty snark to go with the name.

[RevCheesehead]

119. I just hope he won't need glasses or be glucose intolerant.

The Snark, I can teach!

[CC]

122. Well you could add a pair of

glasses to the garcia tie, at least for the picture to send to Keith.

[RevCheesehead]

123. Just like Bunny Rabbit on Captain Kangaroo!

[CC]

126. Shame you aren't closer, that would be

a fun picture to take and send. Course this coming from the person that hasn't figured out how to keep clothes on a ferret even if they do sale ferret clothes.

[Patsy Stone]

74. And, because I wasn't here last night

I didn't get to say: MACACA!

OMG!

Hakuna Macaca was a great caption, too.

[bleever]

What a wonderful phrase.

:hi:

[bleever]

76. George Felix Allen: racist, or just stupid?

:rofl:

[rusty charly]

78. must it be either/or?

[bleever]

90. I think he rises above the either/or, in this case.

[RevCheesehead]

80. can't he be both?

:hi:

[bleever]

92. I think you owe rc a Coke.

:hi:

[RevCheesehead]

93. No, those are two different responses.

He said either/or, and I said both. :P

[bleever]

100. Okay,

RC Cola then.

:P

[RevCheesehead]

104. Only if you bring the Moon Pies.

:9

[Patsy Stone]

88. Somewhere in football heaven...

A coach is crying.

[bleever]

98. Better he shouldn't have to see this.

Hopefully he's having a beer with George Halas.

[Patsy Stone]

112. Aw

That's a nice thought.

[CC]

79. That evil idiot was way to close to

me today. :puke: But betting he lost lots of Mennonite votes today too, and book lovers votes.

:hi: everyone. Taking a break from finishing drywall. I might get to paint tomorrow.

Can't wait for CC & Keith to finally get home (with you, Oreo and Binky), then all your tears will be happy tears Rev. Besides I believe Roo guided you to them, along with a few others that are watching over you.

[RevCheesehead]

83. Gizmo was practically screaming at me, "It's C.C.!!!"

If that ain't Karma, I don't know what is. O8)

[CC]

96. The only thing might be closer

is if you find a ferret in your yard, then you would know he was trying to convert you to a multi-species home.

[RevCheesehead]

97. I don't think my toes could take it.

I fully expect the new kitties to be biting, too. x(

How are ya, ya drywall queen? :hi:

[CC]

108. The ferrets don't bite my toes, I

taught them to never bite me. Terry is another story.

I be doing ok, and have learned how to finish drywall so it hardly needs any sanding.:bounce:

[RevCheesehead]

110. You taught them to bite Terry's toes?

:rofl:

[CC]

116. Speak of the devil, just off the

phone with him. Nah I didn't teach them to bite Terry's toes, Terry just didn't teach them not too. Then he moves his feet so they think he is playing. :rofl:

[rusty charly]

86. another "why * is in the white house" story

[RevCheesehead]

has anyone come up with a good answer to that, Rusty?

because I don't believe any of the responses I've heard so far. :hi:

[crispini]

87. What's with Mo Rocca's glasses?

Sheesh! They look like safety glasses. And, dude, he is SO not funny. :yawn:

[Patsy Stone]

91. George Allen meant to say "Mo Rocca"

not Macaca!

:rofl:

[bleever]

103. Hakuna Mo Rocca!

It's our problem-free
Philosphy:
Hakuna Mo Rocca.

:)

[RevCheesehead]

106. don't you mean "comic-free philosophy"?

:)

[CBHagman]

137. Okay, you've got to read James Wolcott, Patsy.

I missed KOEB last night (but not Keith), was feeling under the weather, and needed something to cheer myself up with late in the evening when I checked James Wolcott's website. I read him to keep from going completely insane, and he did not disappoint.

Turd on the Run

Posted by James Wolcott

It's the burning question failing to divide America.

Is Bush an idiot?

Is water wet?

Is Colin Farrell stubbly?

(SNIP)

And in Virginia, we have a presidential aspirant who's more crap than Bush, and a bigger idiot, boggling as that may be. I speak of course of the man who henceforth shall be known as Senator Shithead.

And links from the Wolcott site:

http://hotlineblog.nationaljournal.com/archives/2006/08/a_new_explanati.html

[Patsy Stone]

139. Thanks for that, CB.

I fully enjoyed his take. Combine this with Cafferty's angry man rant, the NSA warrantless wiretapping being found to be unconstitutional, and it's another good day for democracy. And, yes, George Allen is a schmuck.

BTW: I think Prescott said it, and I don't think it's the first time he said it.

:hi:

[rusty charly]

94. brilliant

the dumbya connection
his people elected him

[crispini]

105. Ok, Dan Abrams with no tie? HOT!

I mean, DAMN, the guy's lookin GOOD these days. Apparently running a network agrees with him. YOWSA.

[RevCheesehead]

107. We shoulda grabbed him when we had the chance!

:evilgrin:

[crispini]

109. Hee!

[Botany]

120. And speaking of good looking

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=315x8271

:rofl:

[bleever]

127. Steph hugs Botany

for sending her bleever's posts.

[Patsy Stone]

132. Uh, oh.

Now you've gone and done it. Am I gonna have to separate you two? Don't make me pull this car over...

[Botany]

135. Beats looking @ a tie on the Tee Vee

blind squirrel finds acorn :rofl:


BTW that lady on the plane in Boston today .... terror terror

no bi polar and vodka!

Terror Terror Terror.

[Patsy Stone]

136. Nuttier than a squirrel turd

It seems she was wielding this type of screwdriver:



And no vaseline. Pity.

:hi:

[gkhouston]

138. and who's working in Manhattan some of the time now?

so the baseball-card-under-a-box trap didn't work for Keef, but maybe you could set up a trap for Dan... maybe bait it with a fugly tie? :shrug:

[Patsy Stone]

117. Whoa!

Down there, killer!

:rofl:

[SharonRB]

121. You still around?

I missed the show. We went out to do some cruising prior to Saturday's big event because you can actually move on the road now. Every year it seems to start earlier and earlier -- people out on their lawn chairs, tons of classic cars from all over the place. You've got to see it to know what it's like.

Did you see the link to my album on last night's thread? I'm going to catch up on the thread now.

[Patsy Stone]

124. Yes I am

But I'm having dinner soon.

I wondered where you posted them. I'll go look. :hi:

That whole event sounds like it's a great atmosphere.

[SharonRB]

130. It definitely was

Maybe I should start a separate thread in the Clubhouse for anyone who wasn't there last night.

[Patsy Stone]

133. That might be nice

Did you post them anywhere else at DU?

[SharonRB]

134. In the Michigan forum

Any other suggestions?

[Patsy Stone]

129. BILL!!!!

Those pictures were amazing! And, now, I'm a little weepy.

I love him sooooo much. :loveya:

[SharonRB]

131. You and me both

I had a dream about him last night. I was at some restaurant and we were having a really great discussion about something -- I don't know what, but I was very happy just talking to a handsome, smart, former president. Then I had a dream that I was in some church and Hillary was there and we were talking. Very strange.
