72. Yes, what a day.
I'll be back for the re-air. Another "Berry WAAAY After the Show" night...

Tough break on Dan Patrick's show today. Keith was on for only the first segment of his usual hour! Now I know it's Super Bowl week but that's when we need Keith's insights more than ever. But nooo, instead we get a case of Keithus Interruptus, aka Premature Jocularity.

But Keith did manage to take time out to remind us of his famous and storied physical measurement of 7 and 7/8s.

That's right. His hat size.

I don't know, you guys. I think he's trying to tell us maybe he doesn't want a tie for his birthday after all. He wants a Borsolino like Jack Abramoff's. I mean, what other excuse did he really have to bring up his hat size again?

Rev, is this all your fault? Did you never send him the Cheesehead you promised? Obviously, he's feeling neglected.

Cheesehats are going real cheap right now.

Maybe I can go to the souvineer shop that's been selling fake Favre stuff, and get KO an autographed cheddarhead...

And the really nice ones are adjustable, like baseball caps. :)

11. I'm really not surprised.
Honestly, if we had evidence he had three heads, or ate a baby, then they'd filibuster. But this whole "unitary executive" -- not enouogh, and it's too hard to keep Dems in line -- unlike Repugs. :shrug:

39% approval rating. Wow.

:loveya:, KO, for the info that (shock! horror!) the tape appeared the day before the SOTU.

Also the snark that both views about the al-Zawahiri's demeanor came from "the same administration, so take your pick".

20. he is #2
except if he is hurt then all move up the depth chart

3 Abdelkarim Hussein Mohamed Al-Nasser

4 Abdullah Ahmed Abdullah

5 Muhsin Musa Matwalli Atwah

6 Ali Atwa

so Abdelkarim would become # 2 and the z man will become # 3 except if he is really
hurt then Abdullah moves to # 3 and the z -man becomes # 4.

Except for bin Laden who is always # 1 even after he died in dec. of 01 just saying :rofl:

I was very disappointed in some of the Dems who voted for cloture. Some of them really surprised me. I still don't get the whole concept of voting no on confirmation, but yes on cloture.

50. It's called:
a vote in each pocket.

When they are home in the district they can say that they voted against Alito while protecting themselves from Repub attacks.

It's an old trick...

He's from around here and his folks still live here. There's so much local support for him.

I'm calling "bullshit" on the Red Cross
"Average $1000 per family" my ass. Here's what the Red Cross did: where the cameras were (Austin, Houston, SA), victims received apartments loaded with brand-new furniture, all kinds of assistance. Where the cameras weren't, they got SOME assistance in locating apartments/housing, but no furnishings, and maybe some cash assistance. This, despite the fact that the residents of Corpus were practically throwing money at the Red Cross; damn little of it stayed locally, going instead to where the cameras were.

Then, of course, Rita struck (the hurricane, not Reeter), and they were evicted by Gov. Good Hair. One family that my friend worked with had received $350 cash from the Red Cross. When Rita was approaching Texas/Louisiana, they had to drive back to get their pets. Their junker car broke down along the way. They went to the Red Cross for help, only to be told "Sorry, we can't give you any more. You can't 'double-dip.'" So they were stranded, no money, no car, God only knows what happened to their pets. :grr: :grr: :grr:

This is why I will never give another thin dime to the Red Cross.

78. No
I haven't heard any more details from the folks in Corpus. But I'm sure they weren't the only family screwed by the RC.

the Whizzinator!

OK, I heard Keith say "prosthetic penis" tonight. I'm feeling faint.

on edit: The first person to shove a Bay Air under me gets their head stuck in a urinal. :-)

Also, what Keith said tonight about men living "in shells" touched me. This is one aware guy. God bless 'im.

79. Perhaps this is an obvious point, but I just don't get it.
What's the difference between a prosthetic penis and a dildo?
Is it functional in other ways?

88. You can pee with the Whizzinator.
It's especially designed for passing drug tests, ifyaknowwhatImean.

As for how it would work in, uh, other contexts, I would say, probably not so well.

90. I think it works like this:
Edited on Mon Jan-30-06 09:19 PM by BerryBush
Dildo: works for sex when you want to take a "male role"

Whizzinator: works for peeing when you are male and want to pass a drug test without actually having to use own urine

Prosthetic penis: makes it look like you've got something in your pants, but can be used for neither sex nor peeing

Real penis: can be used for sex AND peeing! It's two, two, two organs in one! It's a floor wax AND a dessert topping!

on edit: I think she meant she had to be really quiet in the stall because if she wasn't, it would be too obvious that she was peeing in the stall rather than using the urinal. I don't imagine "tinkle tinkle" is a sound heard all that much from the stalls in your average men's rooms full of urinals. And a man overhearing it might think "What's with the shy guy? He uses the STALL to pee? What, is he afraid someone's gonna laugh at what he's got or something?"

93. Well, if you think that's funny
go and look again at the title originally given tonight's thread.

Turned out to be way appropriate, didn't it? :rofl:

99. nah, if you remember the urinal test a while back, Sparky said
that if too many of the urinals are taken, you either use a stall or you leave the men's room and try later. 'Sides, you'd want a stall anyway if you need to defecate as well as urinate. I assumed she meant she had to be somewhat quiet about dislodging the prosthetic penis so it wouldn't be obvious that she was doing something other than a quick unzip before relieving herself. 'Course, she might be trying to be quiet so they wouldn't realize from the sound that she was sitting rather than standing but I've known a few men who are "sitters", so that's neither here nor there.

And you forgot an important element in the real vs. fake comparison chart: real ones fold away for compact storage when not in use. ;-)

94. I like the Clouseau comment, too.
The original, said after the hapless Clouseau destroys a piano: "That was a priceless Steinway!"

Clouseau: "Not anymore."
