KOEB (5/18/05)

:hi: all!

:loveya: Keith!

Is it just the two of us tonight?

Tell you what - email me this weekend to remind me.

Between my new job, Ramzey's birthday, Ramzey's kindergarten graduation and a new puppy... it completely slipped my feeble mind.

D'OH!!

I will work on it, promise! Just remind me... my mind is nearly full up.

*kicks self*

I'll e-mail you before I leave work on Friday. I totally understand and it's sweet of you to do it at all.

How's the new job going?

The people are great though.
I hadn't realized how oppressive my other job was until I came to work here.
I am actually TRUSTED!

I'm glad you like it so far. Busy is way better than bored. It's so important to be happy at work. When it stops being fun it's time to look for a new job. I'm so glad I love mine.

Pretty sad when you feel as if it is a novelty...but I have been there and done that! *sigh*

"Trusted" is much better!

after reading the latest blog, which appeared while I was replying to email tonight, I guess! and talking to a sibling on the phone for a bit about the Star Wars and other stuff.

I'm so glad he's staying on this story! Bully for him! :loveya:

Anyway, hi all! :hi:

. . . :hi:

I'm here ... but I am listening to Frist. Guess my blood pressure isn't high enough or something.


Why do I listen to this moran anyway?


Good to see you! :loveya: for Keef

:eyes:

He's never done a damn thing to help me.

It would explode!

:hi:

Anything happening I should know about?

BTW after watching CBS & NBC national news tonight I will never
watch it again ..... lead story ... Steroids in sports :puke:

Are you getting ready for your "date" with Stephanie on Friday? She played the OSU fight song yesterday in honor of her upcoming visit. I think I've heard you almost every day this week. You certainly manage to get through quite frequently. Do you have a direct line?

On Keith tonight .... Rep Deb Pryce from Ohio .....

She was the b**** who lectured us on 1/6/05 about how wrong
it was to talk about election theft ..... but in he home district ...
The Texas Strike Force whose meals and lodging was being paid
for by the Ohio Republican party ..... hacked phone lines, harassed
voters by saying if you do not have you tickets paid or have a criminal
record and try to vote you will go to jail, and other such acts worked
the last 2 weeks of the election ..... She is a ****.

Also did i see a Joe Scarbourgh Ad ... sexual encounters that can kill?
with a dead intern under his desk and then a messy divorce ......

Botany, steroids may not seem like such a big deal but...if we can't have honesty in sports, how can we have it anyplace else?

I mean, I'm really glad Keith didn't lead with it tonight (heck, he didn't even mention it), but I doubt it will stay off his radar for long again. It's just not in his nature. Besides, he loves baseball too much...or, should I say, has a love-hate affair with it...loves the sport, hates its excesses and faults...which is one of the things I admire about him.

He has the kidlike ability to love a sport, the adult maturity to see where it has fallen short of its ideals, and can criticize it without throwing out the baby with the bathwater, so to speak.

I will now step off my soapbox. *descending*

....... in the scale of things they are small potatoes ..... I have
a poster of a childhood hero on a wall Roberto Clemente .....
one of the greatest ever ..... look @ his body compared to the puffy
faced "pop eyed arms" of some now and you know they are dirty.

But i just had a hard time watching some blowhard from TEX ASS talk
about integrity and then the lap dogs from the press buying into this shit
...... it is all a big smokescreen ....... just like Newsweek caused riots
in Islamic Countries ....... bullshit!

...while I agree that steroids are small potatoes compared to some other things, and that it is hypocritical for congressional blowhards to rail against them considering what THEY are up to, I think the core issue matters regardless.

Being concerned about problems of honesty in sports has its place. Not at the top of the news necessarily, but elsewhere.

:loveya: :loveya: :loveya: :loveya: :loveya: :loveya:

I'm not near my t.v., will catch up later ...have fun.

Did I see Pats is home safely...weeeehoooo!

Have a great night guys, if I don't make it back in time :grouphug:

May 18, 2005 | 7:47 p.m. ET

And here come the grandstanders (Keith Olbermann)

SECAUCUS — Back when I was at Cornell, they had a Government Laboratory class in which we all played roles in an imaginary small city. It met only once a week, and I had to ring up 28 credits in the last semester or not graduate before Dad’s money ran out. This Lab counted for four of them — so I took it.

The training for those of us who played the local politicians was simple — whatever happened, we were supposed to either issue a press release about it, or introduce legislation pertinent to it, as quickly as possible. It didn't matter if the legislation was unconstitutional or ridiculous, and it didn't matter if we had done nothing to merit our names in the paper about the event.

Well, it's nice to see that some current members of Congress took the same class I did. It's the Newsweek Story: the press release and ridiculous legislation edition. Congressman Randy Neugebauer of Texas today introduced a non-binding resolution condemning the magazine for quote "irresponsible and inaccurate" journalism — a phrase used seven times in the six-paragraph resolution. As a non-binding resolution (but a binding press release), its actual content by weight is something like 37 percent “Whereases.” The primary one reads: "Whereas the prevalent media culture encourages journalists to 'get the story first' rather than to ensure that reports are accurate and factual..."

<snip>

Meantime at the White House, Press Secretary Scott McClellan today got a little more specific about what he meant when he said yesterday that Newsweek had to help repair the "damage.” He wants its editors to appear on Arab television networks to explain the story and how badly they screwed it up. Sounds like a great precedent, provided politicians of all parties are willing to appear on television, in this country and others, whenever they screw it up — which would pretty much be a full-time job.

As to the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, whose comments have kind of made the White House approach to this whole thing look like they were the guys in my Government Lab who all got a C+ because the professor thought they had forgotten to do anything, ever, besides politics, General Richard Myers piped up today, for the first time since last Thursday. He said he has not revisited the original conclusion from Lieutenant General Eikenberry on the ground there, that the violence in Afghanistan which killed 17 people, began not over the Newsweek article, but over local politics. He did add today — with Secretary Rumsfeld standing by his side — that the Newsweek piece quote "certainly doesn’t help."

There is also tonight a flip side to the flap.

The Democratic members of the House Judiciary Committee have called a forum for next Tuesday about media bias, reports that some outlets are avoiding stories because they're fearful of Bush Administration retribution, and the Administration's response to the Newsweek story.

I’m also delighted to be able to tell you that I’ve been informed that I’m in the right on this, by simple dint of two events. One, I got an email from a viewer who insisted that even if the Newsweek story ultimately proves true, the magazine shouldn’t have reported it because it was bad for the nation (you know, like Watergate was, or My Lai, or the Stamp Act). And two — that absolute benchmark of logical success: I’ve had something I said, misreported in the editorial pages of the Wall Street Journal. The publication was founded in 1889 and ever since, if the subtlety of your point gets steamrollered by the fevered editorialists who scratch their quill pens at the Journal, you know you’ve made it into the brilliant, sustaining sunshine of righteousness.

<snip>

On Sunday, May 1, the New York Times reported that as the military investigated abuse of prisoners at Guantanamo Bay, the paper had spoken to a former detainee named Nasser Nijer Naser al-Mutairi. He said that in his three years at Gitmo, there were three major hunger strikes by detainees — one of them after guards there had piled up copies of the Qu'ran, and stepped them.

Al-Mutairi said that action was so bad, that even a senior officer at Gitmo got on the camp public address system, promised that abuse of the Qu'ran would stop, and apologized for it.

The Times also quoted an unidentified former U.S. interrogator at Guantanamo, who confirmed the hunger strike, and the broadcast apology, although he evidently did not witness the piling up of, and stepping on, the Qu'rans.

Another knock out!!

:7

So much for stopping blogging on politics!

You go, Keith! Another great show tonight!

Sounds like a missed another great one.

...don't miss the re-air.

And not just for the A Flock of Seagulls joke either! :-)

My husband and I made the mistake of wandering into a club in Manhattan back in the day and Fl. of S. was playing live. We have been laughing about those haircuts ever since. Weren't the eighties so bad they were good?

. . . Pretty, isn't it? :loveya:

How are you tonight? Are you settling comfortably in your new job?

. . . :hi:

:hi: KOEBabes...

NGU.

I've never seen it like this before. I wonder where everyone is.

Me too. I didn't know if business had dropped off or if tonight was a glitch. My whole day has been a glitch, so I guess it doesn't surprise me.

B-)

NGU.

You know you can unload on us...we have all had our miseries...sometimes you just gotta vent!

Cell phone died, important emails disappeared, etc, etc, etc, and all while under deadline.

Thanks for asking. Now it's Miller time! :toast:

NGU.

When you say "Miller time"...do you mean Stephanie Miller time?

:rofl:

:evilgrin:

NGU.

Bet folks will watch the midnight edition.

Too much going on in the eves.

:hi: C2008...

NGU.

It was nice here when I got home from work. I went for my walk. While I was walking, some guy was mowing his postage-stamp sized lawn with a big old riding mower and some dirt blew into my eye. It got all puffy and red by the time I got home. Seems to be quieting down a bit now, finally.

I have no plans to see it and am glad it's finally the last one.

Not a high-powered modified one... geesch!

But, he's also only 6 years old. :7

Keith, if you're reading this -- how about it? :-)
(No, no, not ME. I just wanna see this man settled down w/ a house and some kids!)



:loveya:

why? Are single people's lives less enjoyable or fulfilled because we're single? Why should I (or Keith) have to "settle down?"

(not attackin', just askin')

:)

dg

And, I think children thrive in two-parent households (not to say they can't in single-parent households - I am a single parent and my child is thriving, but that's certainly NOT the norm).

Ergo, to have kids, Keith should marry. ;)

. . . :bounce:

The rest is purely selfish: I want to see some Olberkids because I think they'd be way cute; and I think Keith's genetic material is too fine not to be perpetuated.

monogrammed towels from when I was married.

:rofl:

Seriously, my married last name sounded alot like Olbermann... only, well MORE foreign. ;)

. . . which motivate that suggestion.

I'm so sure! :eyes:

;)

. . . and if the two of you ever get together, I'll be out here rooting for you!

I'm a tiny thing.

. . . What'll you bet he ultimately marries a lovely, intelligent halfling? Wait and see!

Keith! Look down here! :hi: :loveya:

My ex was over 6 feet (which is why I have a 4-foot tall 6-year-old).

...any poor female child cursed with those EYEBROWS??

Fated to a lifetime of plucking, that poor girl!

(not that most of us aren't anyway, but THAT ONE...!)

. . . Their brows were their fortunes!

...I admit, didn't seem to hurt her sexiness quotient none...

Now cut that out!

B-)

NGU.

. . . Nice to see you.

Have you checked out this thread about Rev's Roo?
http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=315&topic_id=6773&mesg_id=6773

And, it hasn't damaged my looks!

. . . and thinned somewhat, with age.

A couple w/ caterpillar eyebrows could give a whole new meaning to "BUTTERFLY KISSES"! :think:

...you have officially made me faint for the entire evening with the "butterfly kisses" remark...

*verklempt*

...but I keep cursing 'em anyway!!!!

;)

dg

Trouble is, my "waxes" "wane" all too soon...

...I think I'd just as soon go for the "butterfly kisses" concept.

Settling down sounds grand until you realize you'll be with the guy for a long, long time so finding the right guy is critical.

. . . with my #1, and we haven't murdered each other yet (altho it's been touch-and-go a few times! LOL!).

I've come to the conclusion that couples stay together because they've decided to. Even having made that decision, you still have the whole business of solving day-to-day problems and disagreements -- but at least the sticky issue of whether or not to STAY isn't always in the back of your mind.

I've always envisioned the marriage as being "over" both my husband and me, bigger than either one of us individually -- sort of like the law, but voluntarily so.

Lord knows I don't expect perfection out of life, just give me a guy who mows the lawn, showers, picks his stuff up and does'nt think "any more of this and I'm outta here!"

. . . Even before we were married, he said (referring to our relationship): "I'm in it for the duration." :rofl:

:rofl:

. . . like he was talking about a war. :eyes:

But he just meant he wasn't the type to "desert" if/when the going got rough.
And he isn't -- even though, at times, it has. :hug:

I'll be in Manhattan July 31st to August 4th. Hint, hint.:P

. . . parents' marriage was reasonably solid... he knows. He's got the road map (or blueprint!).

And if you're single and appreciate Keith, Gogi, you're automatically entered in the KO sweepstakes. May the best woman win!

:loveya:

An autographed photo and a handshake!:7

. . . He has such beautiful hands. I would be so jealous! :loveya:

I cannot believe it...this is EXACTLY what I came away thinking after the otherwise hilarious Star Wars segment..."Uh, Keith, who are YOU to be ridiculing other people for not procreating??"

:rofl:

. . . When there are so many willing to HELP!??? :loveya:

...it's not like there's a shortage of volunteers!

is that they get their identity & lives completely wrapped up in the movie. I should know; when my mom died in '85, I "escaped" by becoming an uber-Star Trek & Dr. Who fan. I can't tell you how much money I spent on going to cons (conventions for you mundanes out there ;) ), buying books & trinkets & other junk. I toyed with learning to knit so I too could have a 20-yard long scarf. After about 2, maybe 3 years of this, I found myself sitting in someone's living room while people were having a very heated discussion over something really, REALLY minor & arcane about Star Trek. I thought "this is pretty damn stupid" and never went back to a club meeting. I got rid of all the junk I had collected (except for some autographs, including one of Patrick Troughton--look it up--that he gave me the night before he died at a con in Georgia). When "Trekkers" came out, I had to see it & it hit pretty close to home. Mind you, the vast majority of these folks are kind, generous, smarter-than-your-average-bear, friendly folks, but some of them take this stuff so seriously, it's damn frightening.

dg

. . . your insider report.

I've always had the impression Trekkers, Star Wars fans, etc., divide up into those who live inside the fantasy, and those who use the show as a rallying point for getting together with other people.

In the latter case, their interest is no weirder or less legitimate than that of sports fans or birders. It's largely social in nature. Sort of like the KOEB, in fact!

:loveya:

(kindly, of course)...

"OK, Keith...so you think all these adult Star Wars fans are weird and socially retarded...so what would you say about a 46-year-old man who STILL COLLECTS BASEBALL CARDS???"

:rofl:

Even more..."What would you say about a 46-year-old man who freely admits that he used to go Dumpster-diving at the local Hostess thrift shop so that he could retrieve the old Twinkie boxes with the BASEBALL CARDS on them? And no doubt still HAS those baseball cards??"

In short, everyone has their peculiarities. For some people, it's Star Wars. For others, it's baseball cards. For others, it's watching a goofy guy in glasses reading the news on an obscure cable network and making excellent snark as he blasts the Powers That Be. Whatever it is, sure, we can snark, but none of us really has the right to point the finger at the others and say "Get a life!"

Whatever gets you through the night, people! :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-)

Although I would've loved to know the story of the guy who showed up in the Star Wars movie line dressed as...Indiana Jones. :shrug: OK, maybe he figured, hey, it's a George Lucas character, it's Harrison Ford, why the hell not??

. . . and INVESTMENT, since he doesn't approve of people doing that!

Hoist w/ your own petard TWICE in one show, Keith!!! ;-)
(I think he can take this ribbing, don't you?)

:7

. . . :spank:

:)

And, I meant you were parrotting his words. I really wasn't being dirty (not THIS time, at least).

. . . Clark: KO said that?

:loveya::loveya::loveya:

Nice folks, fun time, but damn have the prices for tix at cons gone way up. No way am I paying THOSE prices. I'm happy simply stumbling across episodes on TV now. I don't have to eat/sleep/breathe it. I don't take anything about Trek or Dr. Who very seriously now...takes all the fun out of it.

If you ever saw the SNL sketch with William Shatner at a con, that was pretty much what happens at cons when they let the hard-core fans get hold of the mike. There was a rather large, very pissed-off segment of fandom when that came out, but it was true.


There's a book out by Sharyn McCrumb called "Bimbos of the Death Sun," about a murder that takes place at a sci-fi con. OMG, did she have insider information on cons, fans, & the guests who appear at them. It's pretty funny (although I cringe at some of it, remembering the weird stuff I did at that point in my life.)

dg

. . . I saw it when it aired -- and have seen it in SNL anniversary shows since then, also!

David Letterman procreated and stll has'nt married his girlfriend. Some guys are just allergic to the M word. That's ok, there aren't enough old bachelors on tv for my money. Since my love life is, as always imaginary, I need my fantasy crushes!

:7 :bounce:

KO:loveya:

...I always respect the guy that much more when he waits till he's married.

It's just a thing with me. I don't like it when guys are allergic to the M word. If you're attached enough to her to have a kid with her, you should be attached enough to marry her. Just MHO.

Can't understand the logic of guys who think a kid is somehow LESS of a major commitment than MARRIAGE is! :shrug:

(Sound like the kind of patronizing statement we gals used to hear?) LOL
I doubt KO has anything against marriage per se he just is'nt, at the moment, interested. He'll probably meet some 20 something when he's 60, marry her and have several kids! Let's face it gals, the guys have the time to start a family that we do not.

:7

. . . wait til he's sixty, facryinoutloud.

He'll want to take the little whippersnappers to games & not fall asleep in the stands!

I think it's so embarrassing when men marry women who weren't even born when they turned 40!

I know the ego and biology are a major factor, but please! Guys, ya look comical!

My father was 40 and my mother was 17 when they got married. He was a local celeb (DJ on a very popular radio show, had women throwing themselves at his feet -- not unlike our Keef -- I have the fan mail to prove that), she was a coal miners daughter. He wooed her with his celebrity, she wowed him with her beauty. He was college educated, military traveled; she was married and pregnant with my oldest brother when she graduated high school. He had been married before, she had never been away from home. They later opened a record store that evolved over the years to an appliance store that later evolved to an appliance store that sold tropical fish (some one gave him a fish at church one day and he as hooked from that point) and exotic animals (we had two pet monkeys when I was young), he also became an elected member of the House of Delegates (where I met Senator Byrd many times as a child). They were happily ( as happy as your average marriage anyway) married for 23 years til he died very unexpectedly. She remarried several years later (to a man 10 years HER junior), moved 50 miles away and became an elected Judge Magistrate. I am the last of a brood of five! I never heard anyone say that my parents looked ridiculous together, although to be completely honest, there were many broken hearted fan letters right after his marriage from his listening audience. I can remember going home from school at lunch time to have my lunch and listen to his show. I even did a few in-studio commercials with him for his show.

They both brought something to the collective table that the other did not have. He was articulate, intellectual and smart (not always the same thing, if you know what I mean) and she was down to earth and practical (most of the time). They were good role models most of the time. I get different parts of my "spine" from each of them.

They had a very productive life together and she was able to have a second life after his death. She has since passed away herself, but her grave is next to my fathers (by her choice - she never stopped loving him), while the new husbands plot will be one grave away as next to her on the other side will be her divorced best female friend! LOL

One can not plan with whom they fall in love. It just happens that way some times.

If Keef were to select a woman much his junior in his older years, then I say -- more power to him. I wish him happiness and much joy in the time they have together. Kids optional. Your mileage may vary. :)

. . . Not ignoring your terrific narrative, Sydnie; but your closing line in the context of the topic made me think of that old joke about the octogenarian who marries a teenager.

Someone asks him, "But couldn't that be DANGEROUS, healthwise?" -- to which the elderly gentleman answers with a twinkle, "Well, if she dies, she dies."
:rofl:

I hadn't heard that one before! LOL

Besides which, I was talking about men who marry women WHO WERE NOT BORN WHEN THEY TURNED 40, not "men who marry 17-year-olds when they themselves turn 40." Slight difference....

As for Keith, he will do whatever he wants. That much, we know!

My Dad was almost 40, my Mom was 21 when they got married. They've been together over 40 years now. He had 3 kids from a prior marriage and my Mom was just 5 years older than her oldest step-child. These days, my Mom still looks great for her age and it's very funny to see my half-siblings introduce her to someone as their Mom when it's pretty clear they are in the same age-range!

Here's my theory on older men marrying younger women. Most men grow older, but not necessarily up. So I don't think it's a big deal for them to relate to a younger partner. My Dad is still the "young" one in my parents' relationship and he's pushing 80. He still actually thinks he's younger than all of his children and very possibly, his own grandchild! Basically, he's still just a big (old) kid!

My mother's own parents had an age difference too, but in reverse. My grandmother was almost 10 years older than my grandfather and it was thought to be quite the scandal in their small town when they got married as my grandfather was just out of his teens and my grandmother was nearing 30 and had already been divorced once.(Get this--divorce was illegal in our state until the 40's so she had to move out of state and establish residency there before she could get her divorce). Anyway, it must have worked for them--they went on to have 10 kids together and were together until his death.

I've dated men younger than me, older than me, and my same age. As the saying goes, Age ain't nothing but a thing. It's all about how you feel and how you relate to your partner.

necessarily up. Could be that KO's grown older but has only recently "grown up" enough to be ready for marriage. Or perhaps he has no desire to marry; some folks don't. Witnessing a few dysfunctional marriages up close and personal can put you off marriage in a very big way. Or maybe he just hasn't found the right person, assuming he's even looking.

on edit: and in any case, I think the point of the procreation snark wasn't that Star Wars geeks aren't having children, but that they aren't having sex. We don't have any information as to whether or not KO's casting stones from a glass house on that one, which makes this whole digression rather amusing.

. . . Well, some guys could benefit from therapy to overcome their MATRIMONAPHOBIA! (I just invented that word.) :-)

...I just remembered my favorite snark of the night.

It was the one about the fact that people have been evacuated from the White House in the past merely because specks on radar indicated a flock of BIRDS. (paraphrasing here, I freely admit, lest I be accused of misquoting) "Perhaps a flock of seagulls, which would explain why they 'ran so far away.'"

Too much!

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

. . . I always used to sing the chorus of that song when rednecks would talk about "eye-ran" (Iran). :-)

Any more smack downs of Puffy McMoon Face, Fristula, or any one else in the evil empire?

. . . Hi! :hi:

Saw your post late last nite - glad you enjoyed U2!

How's by you doll?

U2 was great. It was so nice to hear Bono sing and talk about really being compassionate and caring in the world. I was still glowing from it today until Fristula started attacking the Constitution with his 'nucular' option.

New name for him btw, since he's flipped from using the filibuster when it suited him to now trying to do away with it.......

Frist-flopper!!!

. . . suddenly drenching us in blogs!

What you said about Bono... it's what we need right now. People being real and earnest, and not being embarrassed about, as you expressed it, being compassionate and caring in the world.

He's someone who has really continued to grow as a person. I hope I get to see him -- and sexy Edge bounching his bass on his pelvis! -- someday!

:loveya:
(Frist-flopper - :rofl:)

the KOEB on her show. I know she does it all the time but its only the third or fourth day I've heard her show and the first time I heard one of her shout-outs to us.

I'm verklempt.

. . . And Botany is going to give her some flowers in a floaty-heart mug when she comes here soon.

:loveya:

and we're spectacular!

. . . :loveya::loveya::loveya::loveya::loveya::loveya::loveya::loveya::loveya::loveya::loveya::loveya::loveya::loveya::loveya::loveya::loveya::loveya::loveya::loveya::loveya::loveya::loveya::loveya::loveya::loveya::loveya::loveya::loveya::loveya::loveya::loveya::loveya::loveya::loveya::loveya::loveya:

Did she mention the group by name? Really??

And what else did she say?

She mentioned that the name Chubby McMoon face, her term of endearment for little Scottie McClellan has been adopted into the vernacular all over the blogosphere. She then used the Keith Olberman Estrogen Brigade as one of her examples of bloggies who are refering to McClellan by his new name. She did indeed mention us by name.

So gratifying.
Thank you Steph.
You are so boss.

Thanks for the report, bunny. Nice to know that someone acknowledges that Keith does indeed have devoted fans!

Well, "ah Louie Louie, oh oh, me gotta go." I really need to get more sleep than I have been getting lately. Enjoy the re-air, night owls. I'm gonna go to bed and dream sweet butterfly dreams. Preferably of a certain couple of MSNBC caterpillars, springing forth from the ol' chrysalis.

'Night all.

. . . We need to work up some KO fuzzy caterpillar pillows at CafePress. That way, you'd have something to curl up with. :-)

Sweet Keith dreams, Berry... :loveya: :boring:
See you on tomorrow's blog.

late show. I have a feeling that until the SO goes back to work this house will stay disrupted and I will be lucky to make it here for the early show. Even the animals are feeling it. :rofl:

Whirls, I always thought it was flat out stubbornness kept people married through the rough times...course I told mine that decided we must be married that the only way out was death and I was meaner. Also told him to think before he did anything like in his first marriage because I could do anything he did only faster, easier and more often and would. Told him don't even go there unless he could handle me going there too. He stills tells other people that.

. . . :scared:

will be 20 years in Aug...and been together 22 years all together. laffin

. . . You watching the show? Our Keith is looking fine as usual.

:loveya:

show for the second time. The man is smart enough to get me near a tv by 8 pm. Giz had his vet appointment today and the doc said he looked good and would call me tomorrow with his blood test results. He acts better so I decided he must be getting better. Besides reading about Roo here also found out that Claudia (The Ferret Rescue Angel) had to let go (PTS)of her Duce, one of her personal ferrets Monday.

It looks like it was a slow night on the KOEB tonight, but the weather was nice almost everywhere, thinking might have lighter turn out come summer.

. . . the board started heating up.

see if it is all the hubs fault or the sun has something to do with it for me. Though he does have everything stirred up. They are off schedule and they had a loose schedule to start with. :rofl:

. . . to get ferrets stirred up? LOL!

cats following me around, the dogs that aren't sure why they are out later at night and the birds that are tired of being told the hush up.
His bird Cracker screams at him when he is watching tv.

And she loves Ter, bites me. Now Harley is an African Grey and he loves me and bites Ter. But Crackers will screech for his attention. Harley talks when he wants attention.

. . . knocks me out, too.

Your S/N should've been Dr. Doolittle or Polynesia, CC!

Ferretessa you came up with. Is very original, but the CC came from a 3 yr. old and is very easy to remember. Was surprised it was available too. And just can't see trying to get Skinner to let me change my name. The people that count know Ferretessa. Though do get alot of pms asking if those are all really my animals.

. . . "Dr. Doolittle" or "Polynesia" would be ponderous to type and i'd inevitably have to shorten them to Dr.Doo and Pol. Though for some reason I can't fathom, Ferretessa doesn't seem inordinately long (maybe because I thought of it?!)

to come up with. Doo would not be good. :rofl: Besides there are more ferrets.

Night (left the long one on the other set)

Notice Bill's "sabre" -- and Darth Fudd's evil presence in the background...

Wasn't there one floating around with the bushies? Think Dick was Darth.
and can't someone please find the blue suit so we can impeach this one.

. . . DNA on it? :rofl:

and blivet*'s DNA on it, preferably of the same nature as the stain on the blue dress.

I was going to say, "Thanks for THAT mental image..."
-- except that I guess I started it!

:spank:

I did not create a mental image of that...but had one of the face as he was led off to jail after his convictions for all the other crimes. The blue suit would just get the rabid right to attack too.

. . . MENACE is *. :nuke:

but the whole cabal. But always believed that you get what you give and can't wait to see them get theirs.

. . . "voodoo economics" -- now we have the real thing? :scared:

diplomacy, back to their voodoo economics, voodoo ecology and it goes on and on. Seems he and the cabal ruins everything they touch. It is :scared:

. . . the BUAD seems to depend on magical thinking a whole lot more. x(

will have a Dem majority. Things should get interesting then.

I need to get to bed, have a feeling I will be awake earlier than I want to tomorrow. Always need to grab Jinx and put her under the blanket to sleep as Lilbear keeps dragging her around trying to stash her under the cage.

Back from the rescue...Sweet Keith dreams when you go,have a good night and a great day tomorrow. Hugs to you and the Mr. (Can't leave him out)

. . . Okay, you have a good sleep and we'll see you tomorrow. Will you be here for the early show -- or blog late?

but who knows these days. If not on early will be here late.

and sweet Keith dreams!
:boring: :loveya: :loveya::boring:

. . . Since the name "Polynesia" came up earlier in conversation,
here is a flaming coral hybiscus from Polynesia --
