KOEB Meeting 7/29/05 (Friday Night Party Time!!)


"Hi there, sports fans! KO here, appearing in an ancient photo with my old SportsCenter tag-team partner Dan Patrick to remind you to LISTEN TO US, STARTING NEXT FRIDAY when I join Dan for an hour of his show on ESPN Radio, from 2 to 3 pm. Check the ESPN.com Web site for a list of stations near you--or if you need to get satellite radio, well heck, get satellite radio! That's Fridays on ESPN Radio, starting August 5. Me. Dan. Me. Did I mention, me?? Be there. Aloha.

"Oh, and enjoy tonight's Countdown. I'll be there. I think. Uh, well, maybe. I mean, I still have new suits and shirts and ties to show off and everything."

2. I think he ran out of new clothes
Did you see Hardball? David Gregory so rocks -- he really asked Jean Schmidt some hard questions. Amy Goodman was great, too.

3. Yes, I did.
David :loveya: Gregory was wonderful! But towards the end of the interview w/Schmidt, he kind of just let her ramble, then said "thank you" with a bemused smile on his face.

I'm wondering if they're grooming him for a permanent spot - although, I can see why he likes the WH beat. Someone's gotta ream Scottie every now and then.

9. World jamboree
It's like a guinness book of world records thing to see how many boy scouts they can trick into sitting for hours in the scorching heat if they promise them "the president's coming!"

This year it looks like they might break the record.

She sounded more and more ridiculous the more Gregory let her babble on. LOVED when he accused her of cribbing directly from his last speech.

But wouldn't you know, tonight is the night Keith runs out of new clothes!

Bring back the dark suit with the cream shirt and orange tie too, Keith...it's my favorite.

Anyway, :hi: from Berry After the Show.

It's too bad that you didn't get the marijuana ref tonight, Patsy.
If only Bill Frist had come out for medical marijuana use and ticked off even MORE Repugs...*sigh*!

I've decided I understand why he's in favor of stem-cell research. Because heck, he'd do research on actual babies, too, if he could. After all, he's not been known in the past for putting limits on that kind of thing. (*MEOW!*)

45. He probably didn't write the lobster pun, as it was on Oddball
but then again, maybe the usual writer was on vacay!

It's about time someone besides KO went!

Loved hearing him make the bad pun anyway. :loveya:

But it looks as if Carey's out sick or on vacay.

Sheesh, I wish I didn't have to worry about MY work getting done when I was out! Wow, Keith must be an evil boss...not!

did they make Keith sick?

I still want to spread a juicy rumor that Keith made me sick. It was all that time we spent together last week when I wasn't here. You know, close quarters and all. :-) :-) :-)

Can I get a witness?? :shrug:

Oh well, I had a feeling it wouldn't work...

14. Hi all!
I see my "senator" flip-flopped.

Of course, this is the first issue in his 12 years as my "senator" that I've agreed with him.

I'm using quotes because Frist has never, ever acted as though he represented me in any way, shape or form. Ergo, he's not actually my "senator."

19. Okay, now that I've seen the actual clip
it was definitely his middle finger. No way was that a thumb or an index finger (or a pen, as some have said).

I watched his hand as it came back down - it was his thumb - and he does have long thumbs. He twisted his wrist around.

34. You're right, Clark -- we do disagree on this one
I did not see his wrist twist around at all. You could see the rest of his hand to the right of the finger that was up. If it had been his thumb, the thumb would have been facing the camera and the rest of his hand would he been in front of it, not next to it.

The rest of his fingers were behind the thumb.

you would think it's the bird, but when i watched the video of it (& KO did show it more than once), you can tell he's doing a thumb's up.

54. That's my point -- if you saw his knuckles, it couldn't have
been his thumb. The knuckles were horizontal, and if it was his thumb, they would have been vertical.

Guess we'll just have to agree to disagree on this one!

61. But it's possible to put your thumb up
and have your knuckles stay horizontal. It just means not twisting your fist into the straight-up-and-down position, but instead keeping your fingers folded down and your thumb up.

I think it's you and me against the rest of 'em on this one. I don't see how it's his thumb or his index finger. I watched it over and over on KO last night and there's no doubt in my mind it's the bird.

21. Good interview w/Craig.
Is bush unwilling to compromise? (notice lack of "president")
Could this have been avoided? Is bush serious about his campaign promises, or was he just trying to get votes?

And... When is the book coming out? (October, but available now on Amazon).

But, yes, it's a long, skinny thumb.

I watched the wrist motion as he brought it back down. I wish I could demonstrate it for you, but that's impossible online. LOL!

68. Plato.
"Music of the Spheres."

It was fairly common in ancient thought (esp. eastern thought) that the planets had corresponding modes and notes. This thought was echoed in the writings of Ptolemy, and even Shakespeare. Or think of Gustav Holst's "The Planets," or even John Williams. :)

(OK, I had to look it up in Grout's History of Western Music - but I remembered it correctly!)

76. Yes, but did they have theremins?
and if they did, could they play "Good Vibrations" by the Beach Boys?

Science may never answer this crucial question.

32. Oooh! I like the sound of Saturn!
Reminds me of the kitchy 50's and 60's sci-fi movies.

35. Maybe it's inviting liberals to move to it.
Afterall, earth is being taken over by neandrathal neo-cons.

Saturn's lovely in the spring, I hear. :7

36. This is the first time I've seen or heard Rita Cosby
I hate, hate, hate her voice -- I will not be watching her show.

44. It is rather funky, isn't it?
Like she's been up chain-smoking all night, and screaming at a high school football game.

58. She creeps me out.
It's going to be really hard watching Keith transition to her.

Then again, her voice could probably shatter glass on its own.

70. So we give Rita 2 days? 3?
And then we start emailing like crazy to let them know she's even worse than Tucker, and we demand a show hosted by either David Gregory or Rachel Maddow in that timeslot, right?

77. I have a better idea for the 9-10 hour myself.
Extend Countdown to two hours a night.

Or just forget all the other shows and turn MSNBC into the 24-hour Olbermann Broadcasting Empire. Yeah!!

100. Works for me
Although, as much as her voice bugged me, the little bit I saw last night I liked what she said. She and Rachel really ganged up on Fucker about that doctor who refused to artifically inseminate a woman because she was a lesbian. He claimed the doctor had a right to refuse to do any procedure he didn't want to do. The point was, he was refusing for one particular patient. It would have been one thing if he never, ever inseminated anyone -- that would be okay. But to refuse to inseminate someone because he's against someone being a lesbian (or a single mother) doesn't fly.

63. The love is not gone, just my internet connection.
I've been suffering from connectus interruptus due to a change in my internet provider.

Warning: for those of you who don't know, "plug and play" means plug it in, and play around with it for eight to ten hours until you get it working.

Still on a temporary fix here, but I want to say hi to everyone, and have a great weekend.

I still believe; I just have trouble posting about it.

:)

:hi:

80. I shoulda known that painting a tunnel onto my firewall wouldn't
work.

All that time spent watching cartoons, you'd think I'd have learned.

:hi: Rev. Had some brats the other night: they were really kielbasa. I guess they figure it's easy to fool people in California.

:(

you have to deal with that particular definition of "plug and play"...

You have a great weekend too. And keep believing.

66. What a Photo!
Hard to believe it's the same guy, isn't it?

Dang, KO looked hot tonight. The suit pants fit better, and the dark colors just look better.

I can hardly wait to watch the show! I've been stuck on the bus, and my computer has "connectus interruptus" (a/k/a a wonky modem.)

72. So, it doesn't look as if anyone missed the "5 Favorites" tonight...
Did anyone but me notice he didn't do them?

Hmm. Maybe he's again listened to us and decided to trash 'em. That's fine with me. Now if he'd just go all the way and BRING BACK THE NEWS QUIZ!!!!

:loveya::loveya::loveya:That's actually a very cute photo, compared to some of that approximate era I've seen.

Oookay, I'm off.... Catch ya'll during the rerun if anyone's still up! Sounds like it was a good show tonight!

OMG, this is the first I've seen of nekkid terraist coverage! :rofl:

90. Okie-dokey.
Re: The finger or the thumb? It's a thumb.
In watching the blivet move his hand down to his side, you can see the thumb clearly. No pen, nothing else.

The idiot still walks like Bigfoot.

92. I know you are all sleeping now but I just wanted to let you know.....
It was a THUMB. Yesterday I thought otherwise just from the pics, but the slow mo's tonight on Countdown were very clear, unequivocally a thumb.

See you next week ladies.

BTW, where's Sparky? I miss him.

Sparky couldn't post last night. He was too busy doing Countdown.

Oh, shoot...now I've let you in on the "Sparky is Keith" theory. :rofl:

97. Hey BB, I've been a KOEB since the beginning. I know all about the theory
that Sparky is Keith. Has anyone ever seen both of them in the same room at the same time? Sort of like LaToya and MJ.

Seriously though, where oh where is my little Sparkela?

102. Hey, Bunny
You may have missed my post last week -- I PMd him to see where he's been and he's been working late a lot, then napping when he gets home. On the weekends he's been working on his house. He's doing okay, though.

Guess I'm alone in still thinking it's the bird. I watched and watched and just don't see it as his thumb.

Have a great weekend.

104. Sharon, you didn't specify who you were referring to.
Sparky or Keith?

:rofl:

Anyway, I think people are looking at that, uh, digit and it's a Rorschach blot, is what it is. Those who want to see a finger are seeing a finger. Seems that way to me, anyway.

Does that mean that neither of them exist? Or one of them is both the same?

Sparky, show thyself!!!!
