KOEB Meeting: 07/02/09 -- NEW MICHAEL JACKSON VIDEO!!! OH MY GOD!!!! Edition

:eyes:



Keith's vacation -- Day 2. :hi:

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

:hi:

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

But I'd rather he was here.

:hi:, ralps!

:hi: I'm watching with one eye. Had dinner downstairs and one of the TVs was tuned to MSNBC so I could already tell it was definitely another Shuster night.

Looks like Izzy Povich took advantage of Keith's absence to make MJ the lead story...*sigh*

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

Patsy lives in another world

I have tomorrow off. :) I changed it. I was hoping to fix it before somebody noticed, but noooooooo.

:hi:

no way

:thumbsup:

Shabbat Shazzam, Patsela! Enjoy your day off! :toast: I plan to enjoy mine!

Shabbat Shazzam to you, too! :toast: I don't know what I'm going to do, but I plan to sleep late.

Saturday, might do a cookout. Sunday, who knows? :shrug:

Heading to Oregon tomorrow for my youngest brother's wedding on Saturday!

Just don't get lost and end up in California. They'll probably charge you admission to enter and to leave. I understand they're pretty hard up there.

So it's off to the Breadbasket for Friday gulaschsuppe (yum!) lunch special.

Actually, I kind of liked that video, but I don't think it should have been the top story.

:hi: Thanks for the yummy food! :toast:

I give up. There's too much stuff going on here to keep up with.

But from what I've heard, I just hope whoever ends up with them keeps them away from MJ's dad.

I hope this episode has Mr. Drysdale and Miss Hathaway.

:hi:

some of Granny's possum stew outside around the cement pond?

:hi:

Love these e-mails. I'd like to hear Steve Schmidt and Sarah Palin read them aloud.

back to the crazy story of Trig's birth, and her flying with leaking amniotic fluid for twelve hours to Alaska, then driving an hour plus to get to the MatSu clinic at home to have the baby.

The way she plays with the truth makes it seem all the more likely, at this point, that Trig was Bristol's, and that she got preggers again to have Tripp.

Crazy stuff!

Given that otherwise you have to assume that she made that 12-hour trip on a plane after her water broke and then more than an hour on the ground. Makes her sound like she gave not a damn about the fate of her own baby, and maybe even contributed to his problems.

Poor Miss Jane ran for Congress and lost.

ed.: to a guy named Shuster. No relation as far as I can tell.

the first million times I saw it.

Happy 4th, everyone! :hi:

dg

had a story about how the cable channels all showed the video at the same time. Slow news day???

:hi:, Happy 4th to you, too!

:patriot: Party like it's 1776!

LOL...at first I accidentally typed "Happy 44th"...well, that too. :-)

I got a picnic spread laid out upthread. Help yourself!

:hi:

Hall of President's speech? Was that only on Oddball? Did I even hear flamenco guitar at all, or am I really hanging out with Rod Serling?

By the way, did anyone else catch the greatly exaggerated story of Keith's death yesterday? I guess someone vandalized his Wiki page to say he died early Wednesday morning from complications of celiac disease. I didn't even know about it until I read someone's link to a story about the hoax on GD yesterday afternoon.

And no, I didn't think it was true just because he failed to show yesterday!

(His commment would probably be: "Celiac? Why couldn't they have me falling off a cliff like all the A-list stars?")

and I still can't tell. There's the feel of the down homey stuff (which of course makes more sense), but there's the minor key strumming thing of flamenco too. Combine that with the low Oddball music playing in the background, and I have no idea.

There was a convenient bus stop over there.

I am gonna have to have a looong talk with that boy. (As Jed Clampett used to say about Jethro, only Obama is waaaaay smarter.) Gonna have to write him a letter, saying:

1. Suspend DADT and get Congress to dump it
2. Same with DOMA
3. Single payer or else
4. No more secrecy about ANYTHING not utterly necessary
5. Prosecute Bushco and send 'em all to the Big House.
6. We have the votes. No more excuses.

Thank you.

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

The horror...the horror...

And Colbert... :rofl:

That's perfect.

Just take the food right away from her, because hunger is a powerful motivator.

"I was hungry, and you told me 'Get a job.'" :rofl:

:rofl: is right!

I had no idea about that Keith is Dead garbage. Wow. :crazy:

If Keith had been on that night, perhaps we could have had the Turn Me On, Dead Man edition.

Enjoy your weekend, kids! :hi: Looks like there will be no show of any kind tomorrow...Shuster sounds like he's signing off.

Holiday weekend garbage marathon.

by offering us a marathon of Americans who are locked up.

you're old.

:)

are right.

:)

And old folks like us need Tums, and we need Led Zeppelin to sell us Cadillacs. :)

Don't they know, it's supposed to be a Deadhead sticker on a Cadillac?

But seriously...yeah, you know you're getting old when they use the music YOU listened to when you were young to sell stuff for geriatrics.

So far we still have a little window there...when they do the commercials for Sea-Bond denture adhesive they're still singing "Bye bye, paste!" (takeoff on the Everly Brothers). When they start using Bryan Ferry's "Let's Stick Together," we're in trouble. When they start using Lionel Richie's "Stuck on You," it gets worse.

The day I will know death is near is when they use raunchy rap songs to sell denture stuff.

Ah, for the days when I was a kid and the jingles on the TV ads were parodies of songs from the '20s and '30s that I didn't yet know...except for Carly Simon's "Anticipation." There was that.
