    Hey kids,over at facebook (and here, if anyone wants me to post it) is this week’s installment of the GDAB Quotes!

  • cminri

    hey theo..can you give online facebook lessons to the facebook-impaired (me)!

  • theo

    Absolutely, CM, what would you like to know?

  • cminri

    okay – start at the beginning..(just kidding!) i really am trying to figure it out on my own. but thanks to you and carl for getting it off the ground. i should be up to speed by the next millenium…;)

  • PackyJ

    Ok – is anyone else besides me getting irked by the grwing inanity of the “news” coverage being posted on the front page at HuffPo? Barack On=bama with his shirt off is more appropriately a Matt Drudge story, isn’t it?

  • PackyJ

    Damn I hate that I can’t type.

  • theo

    CM: Good luck! It gets easier as you go.Packy: Yeah, that really annoyed the hell out of me. Seems like any transition (especially a well-oiled one like this) drives the press crazy.In other news: Did anyone know that Karl Rove’s adoptive father was a homosexual who pioneered genital piercings?

  • ceu

    There’s too much stuff there, Packy – it takes too long to load up & a lot of it is…uninteresting. I’m still faithful to Jason Linkins’ Sunday Roundup, but for the most part, I read only those columns I get email alerts for.

  • CycloCynic

    Bob’s Book!I still have promo copies of Bob’s new book One Nation Under Fear. If you’re willing to post a review at Amazon.com, I’ll send you a free copy of the book.Email me at toliveistosuffer@gmail.com. (Please include the address to which you want the book sent).

  • Kat

    I don’t know about that, Packy. I was certainly happier to see a shirtless Obama instead of another pic of Blago-ofthedeadsquirrelonhishead-jevich.But I suppose I know what you mean.

  • dontpanic23

    Hi, CC!

  • kansasdem

    I notice the “site” stopped the Warren debate. Too bad! I was wrong and Obama was right!This has put a lot of pressure on the right to defend prejudice! Warren has weakened his initial position substantially!Bottom line: Obama is a hell of a lot smarter than I am!Basically like Bob said shortly before the election:Chill out, I’ve got this! (or something like that)We won’t always agree, but we all want the same outcome(s).

  • Kat

    Hmmm…I’m beginning to wonder about what kind of kick-backs CC is getting from Bob….

  • dontpanic23

    Suddenly tonight all the talking heads are trying to disagree on something about it but keep finding themselves in a group hug. Amazing.

  • theo

    I’m gonna have to open up a whole other thread over on Teh Facebook just for Elvis’ quotes.

  • dontpanic23

    Mind outta the gutter, Kat. (Oops, realize who I was talking to). Carry on.

  • theo

    Kat: are you a facebooker?

  • dontpanic23

    You could start a whole Facebook facebook on Elvis quotes and probably get a large following, Theo.

  • theo

    DP: Gonna do that. Right now.

  • PackyJ

    Kat – if you put it in that context, I guess so.

  • Kat

    You forget I’m running for Mayor of the Gutter, DP. I have some pretty stiff competition in GypsySoul though.And yes, Theo. I’m part of the group. :) My full first name is Kathleen.

  • dontpanic23

    Kat, you do indeed. She’s been nipping at your heels in the Gutter Department. Is there a Vice Mayor?

  • dontpanic23

    Oh, shit. A KO best-of show. Woo hoo. If you folks will ‘scuse me for a bit, my back is killing me and I can’t keep turning aroudn to watch the tee vee while at the computer. Billy Backson.

  • PackyJ

    Well, I think you’re in a league of your own, Kat. ;)

  • http://www.broadwaycarl.blogspot.com Broadway Carl

    For those of you who don’t know what the hell we’re talking about, we started a Facebook Cescans group last night. If you’re already a part of Facebook, just search for the group GDAB Cescans and request to join if you’re interested.

  • PackyJ

    I meant that in a GOOD way.

  • Kat

    Thanks, Packy. Good to know I can count on your vote.And I don’t know about y’all, but KO’s best-of is getting me a little sniffly.

  • Kat

    Okay, yea, talk of Joe the %&^@#^%Plumber has taken care of my sniffling.

  • http://www.broadwaycarl.blogspot.com Broadway Carl

    Packy, it’s kinda nice, but it’s too soon, it’s all too fresh – looks like Monday Night Football for me.

  • PackyJ

    I’m still at work, so I have to wait until I get home to watch KO & Rachel, dammit.

  • http://www.broadwaycarl.blogspot.com Broadway Carl

    Although that clip of Rove and Hume looking like fools always puts a shit eating grin on my face.

  • dontpanic23

    I got to hear Keith say it again. Ohio rolled in, it was eleven o’clock on the east coast, he said it and I cried all over again. This is insane. I think I’m turning into a faucet.

  • dontpanic23

    Who’s playing, Carl?

  • http://www.broadwaycarl.blogspot.com Broadway Carl

    Chicago Bears and Green Bay Packers, DP.

  • http://www.broadwaycarl.blogspot.com Broadway Carl

    I’m turning into a faucet watching that whole Palin montage! Jebus Hussein Christ! I had forgotten how earth shatteringly grating it was to listen to her day after never-ending day.

  • dontpanic23

    Ooh, all NFC night. Damn, KO and Rachel. Might use the clicker a lot.

  • dontpanic23

    Yep, Carl, that Palin vacation we got was nice. And short.

  • dontpanic23

    I bet you have an excellent shit-eating grin, Carl.

  • dontpanic23

    Disclaimer: I did not mean that in a slutty way.

  • dontpanic23

    Not that I can’t make slutty remarks, but that wasn’t one.

  • http://www.broadwaycarl.blogspot.com Broadway Carl

    Kansas, is that you who just signed on to the Facebook group?

  • dontpanic23

    Pajama Gram. I’m going to shoot myself if it goes on any longer.

  • ceu

    Head’s up, guys. there is no woman who really wants a PajamaGram from her lover.

  • PackyJ

    WTF is a pajamagram? I guess I don’t get out enough.

  • dontpanic23

    Chris speaks the truth. Give me fleece sheets. And a dog on either side of my feet.

  • http://www.broadwaycarl.blogspot.com Broadway Carl

    Ha! Pajama Gram! My wife saw that commercial and said, “If someone gave me a Pajama Gram for Christmas in an attempt to make it look like they put thought into their gift, I would fuck them up!” [paraphrasing, of course]

    I told her I’d return it as soon as it came in.

  • dontpanic23

    Oh, you’re at work, Packy. It’s a commercial on MSNBC.

  • PackyJ

    This year I am putting no thought into gifts.It’s just my kids, so they’re all getting gift certificates to spend on whatever they feel like, and I will suffer no guilt about at all.

  • Kat

    I would be kicking some major ass if someone tried to get me a PajamaGram. In fact, I think that may be reasonable cause for a divorce: Betrayal by PajamaGram.

  • ceu

    Packy – it’s a lovely pair of flannel pajamas sent in a lovely hat box that she’ll treasure forever. It’s what every woman wants and she’ll think you spent a whole month planning it when really it took only a few minutes on line.It’s guaranteed to be the only thing that will make your woman remove her clothes & comes with lovely spa products that women just love.Oh – and there’s a privacy tag for the bedroom doorknob…Who could resist?[resist it. seriously]

  • http://www.broadwaycarl.blogspot.com Broadway Carl

    Don’t forget the lovely bath soaps and candles.

  • theo

    Jeez, I leave for five minutes and you guys are talkin’ bout Pajamagrams.

  • Kat

    Yep…KO’s making me all veclemt again. It’s like I just got a fucking PajamaGram or something.

  • Teh Minx

    Hey Minx! Good to see you again!

  • Kat

    Bilbo Baggins as the CEO of the Rachel Maddow Bank. God, I adore her.

  • dontpanic23

    One of us has to look like Eileen Warnos (sp?) or Blanche Taylor Moore *oooh uk*

  • Kat

    I’m going to need to spend the next 3 hours Googling good-looking female serial killers, DP.

  • dontpanic23

    You go for it, Kat. I don’t need nightmares. The thought of “commando” right beside “Gacy” from last night’s thread was scary enough. Do report your findings.

  • theo

  • Kat

    Sorry, CM, I’m still frozen in fear from Rachel’s segment about Cheney. *curls in ball* Please take the bad man away!

  • GItheJOE

    I think it is a PTT hangover. Don’t worry the party gets started late these days.

  • Kat

    Hey Joe – you on the Facebook?

  • http://www.broadwaycarl.blogspot.com Broadway Carl

    Jane, baby! Where ya been?

  • Teh Minx

    Does anyone know when the Minn. Senate election will be called for sure? It could be a most excellent Christmas gift!Hey! Does anyone remember when Franken was running for Pres of the United States on Sat Night Live in the 70′s??Was that prescient or what??Teh Minx

  • theo

    I actually just whistled to entertain myself, which I didn’t know people did. Come on, guys!I think it bears repeating: Karl Rove’s adoptive father was gay and a pioneer of genital piercings. Freud would have something to say about that…

  • GItheJOE

    Our congress gets the giant pussy award for years 2001-2008. Cheney knows he shouldn’t say this shit publicly but he doesn’t give a shit because no one will do anything about. Where is Dennis Kacinich when we need him. Someone help me with that name.

  • Kat

    Kucinich.

  • cminri

    Joe – Kucinich (i think)and Jane…i answer to Carol or Caroline – depending on my mood..

  • Teh Minx

    “If you would just vote for me, Al Franken.”It would have been so great if he used those clips in the campaign!Teh Minx–who only wished she looks like Patty Hearst.

  • jane

    Theo: I had heard that a while back, but you’re right: it bears repeating, IN A LOUD VOICE, with links…Minx: The ME decade…Jane Curtin: Well, the 1970′s are in their final month, and with some thoughts on this decade and the one we’re about to enter, here’s Weekend Update’s Social Sciences Editor Al Franken.Al Franken: Thank you, Jane. Well, the “me” decade is almost over, and good riddance, and far as I’m concerned. The 70′s were simply 10 years of people thinking of nothing but themselves. No wonder we were unable to get together and solve any of the many serious problems facing our nation. Oh sure, some people did do some positive things in the 70′s – like jogging – but always for the wrong reasons, for their own selfish, personal benefit. Well, I believe the 80′s are gonna have to be different. I think that people are going to stop thinking about themselves, and start thinking about me, Al Franken. That’s right. I believe we’re entering what I like to call the Al Franken Decade. Oh, for me, Al Franken, the 80′s will be pretty much the same as the 70′s. I’ll still be thinking of me, Al Franken. But for you, you’ll be thinking more about how things affect me, Al Franken. When you see a news report, you’ll be thinking, “I wonder what Al Franken thinks about this thing?”, “I wonder how this inflation thing is hurting Al Franken?” And you women will be thinking, “What can I wear that will please Al Franken?”, or “What can I not wear?” You know, I know a lot of you out there are thinking, “Why Al Franken?” Well, because I thought of it, and I’m on TV, so I’ve already gotten the jump on you. So, I say let’s leave behind the fragmented, selfish 70′s, and go into the 80′s with a unity and purpose. That’s what I think. I’m Al Franken. Jane?

  • GItheJOE

    Hey Kat. No I am a lazy worthless flap of skin. I haven’t taken the Facebook step yet. I have abandonment issues.

  • http://www.broadwaycarl.blogspot.com Broadway Carl

    Joe – Kucinich. You were close. Just because Congress hasn’t done anything doesn’t mean that international agencies won’t. I’d bet you had have a hard time traveling to certain countries for fear of getting thrown in the Hague.

  • Kat

    Joe – mmhmmm. Okay.

  • jane

    Theo- linky. As in, “I’m the proud owner of Karl Rove’s father’s solid gold cock ring.”

  • GItheJOE

    Carl, I don’t know if this is what you meant or not but here goes a rant.Traveling to other countries has been a bitch since these gay cowboys have been in office. I hate being an American when I am overseas. However, I am proud again and want to get stationed in Italy. Any takers?

  • jane

    Carlos, I was at the shop until late decorating teh tree (LEDs on audio mode, on a big pipe/boom 3-D tree, 24″ disco ball, uplights on the scary scenery trees donated from a local theatre group) (we HAVE to spell it that way, folks, or we’ll be shot), tweaking and drinking. Pics will come, on the new MyGoddamnFace Page…

  • Kat

    Ohhh…I wanna get stationed in Italy. Preferably at the University of Florence in the soccer (aka football) department.I made a few visits oversees in my late teens/early 20′s, and it was difficult to be an American then. I remember being on a train in Ireland with a stereotypical loud, brash American family and faking a Irish accent (I’ve always been pretty good with accents) just so I wouldn’t get lumped in with them.

  • jane

    Oh, GI Joe!!! Memememe! I want to stomp grapes and never bother to learn the native language (as far as anyone knows) so noone will ever talk to me again!

  • http://www.broadwaycarl.blogspot.com Broadway Carl

    Sorry Joe, pronoun trouble. I didn’t mean “you’d” have a hard time. I meant “he’d” have a hard time. And Italy is AWESOME! That’s where I went for my honeymoon, Sept. 2007. Maybe I’ll post some pics on the GDAB Facebook page – which would force you to sign up!

  • Kat

    Ah, Jane…it will be okay. The sharpness of the initial pain will fade.

  • jane

    Shit! Who wins, me or Kat?Fuck her, she’s got the UPS man thing going on.

  • jane

    GODDAMN GI JOE if I can do teh MyGoddamnFaceSpace, you can. I even signed up with (heh) a fake real name.

  • theo

    Fuck, I leave for a minute and I miss so much!Only to be read if you don’t mind some…disturbing content: like pierced penises. And an image of Karl Rove.http://www.bmezine.com/news/guest/20070818.html

  • http://www.broadwaycarl.blogspot.com Broadway Carl

    KAT! You’re with a UPS man? Does he “deliver”? Is he “big and brown”? Can he track your “package”?

  • theo

    Carl: You’re banned.

  • Kat

    Are you done with the cheesy puns, Carlos? I’m not officially with a UPS man quite yet. Give me another month.

  • Kat

    And I still should be taken to Italy!!! Fuck my UPS man (well…sort of…not really)! I want to drink Chianti in Tuscany, dammit.

  • GItheJOE

    Carl, don’t listen to her. I LMOA, delivered package big, HA! Fine I will sign up give sometime and it will be done in his image.

  • http://www.broadwaycarl.blogspot.com Broadway Carl

    Late delivery, Kat?

  • jane

    Fuck. We can both go. Or, Kat goes to Italy with GIJoe, and I go to Ireland crammed in Packy’s carry-on. Or vice-versa.And I do mean VICE.

  • GItheJOE

    I am pinot grigio fan myself but I am not really a wine guy.

  • jane

    “When it absolutely, positively has to get there overnight…”

  • http://www.broadwaycarl.blogspot.com Broadway Carl

    Theo, you’re banning me?! What the fuck, dude?! I thought we were facebook friends!

  • GItheJOE

    If I actually get stationed there I will arranged a trip for the whole GDAB family. I am sure I will be lonely and can’t really speak italian. Thank god for the intertubes.

  • jane

    Who TF is Desiree, Andrew, and Vincenzo?Fuck I know this ends my internet privacy as I once knew it…

  • Kat

    >>Fuck I know this ends my internet privacy as I once knew it…This from the woman (?) who signed up using a fake real name.But, yea…who are these newbies?

  • GItheJOE

    Newbies? Lurkers

  • http://www.broadwaycarl.blogspot.com Broadway Carl

    That’s what I’m trying to figure out. I think they’re lurkers. It’s cool – but please let me know who you are when you request to join. And if anyone does some fucked up shit to Jane, I’ll ban you from the group.

    I got your back, Jane.

  • theo

    Carl: Yeah, we are.

  • bjritz

    BCarl,I just submitted my request to join the facebook group. I think I messed up and put my real name in there and such also.Look for a request from Barry Rit…..thanks.

  • theo

    Woops, Carl, there was supposed to be an html heart in there.Jane: Maybe this is my naivete talking, but what are you afraid of?

  • http://www.broadwaycarl.blogspot.com Broadway Carl

    BJ – I think you signed in as “Bj Dash…” . That’s you isn’t it? If not we have too many BJ’s! Although in my opinion, one can never have too many BJs.

  • GItheJOE

    Jane is afraid of bunnies!

  • Kat

    No, that’s another BJ, Carl. We’ve got two BJ’s in here.I’m not going to expound further upon their names.

  • ceu

    Joe – I have a 20 year old daughter who speaks Italian that I’d be willing to sell.okay – not really sell.Carl, there are at least 2 BJs. bj & bjritzPenn Gillette has a pierced scrotum (apropos of nothing)

  • bjritz

    Carl just said “bj dash” heh!

  • ceu

    Carl – you went to Italy on your honeymoon?? Nice.[I got 4 days in Boston...shoulda known right then]

  • Kat

    Interesting information, Chris. For some reason, I find it exceptionally interesting coming from you.

  • http://www.broadwaycarl.blogspot.com Broadway Carl

    Ok, gang. I’m shutting down at work and I don’t know if I’ll be back tonight. My in-laws are coming in for Christmas tomorrow and I need to do a little prep work. I might stop by, but if not, have a good evening.

  • jane

    Dudes, dudettes, I had some psycho biyotch post my real name (first/last) and zip code, on some fucking dating site saying “Bring video, bring bondage.” (I know, right? Chick didn’t have her lingo right before she tried that shit.)I’ve had exes break in to my house, “just to be near my things.”Okay, so I chose some fucking psycho losers, or losers with some psycho exes, but THAT’S WHY I HAVEN’T BEEN ON TEH GOODAMN FACESPACE shit before now, among other reasons.Happy?

  • bjritz

    Broadwaysckovich, I think that I requested with my dang facebooker name barry and me last name rit…Tryin to be some what discrete and such.

  • Teh Minx

    Signing up for Facebook in the AM, Carl!DP: Didn’t you have some medical test recently? I hope that it went ok.GI teh Joe: Don’t worry, Teh Cescans have yer back!On to more important issues, hair appointment tomorrow! I’m thinking of dark auburn for color. Thoughts?Boobies!!Teh Minx

  • theo

    Jane: …Okay. Makes sense.

  • http://www.broadwaycarl.blogspot.com Broadway Carl

    OK, so bj, I have not received your request yet, but if I do, do you want me to reject it so you can re-request with your pseudonym? That thar’s a fancy wurd fur “ayleus.”

  • theo

    Teh Minx: oh fun! I’m just about to dye my hair! Kind of a medium-dark honey brown, for me. I’d do auburn, but the red tone mixes badly with my natural blonde.

  • Kat

    That sucks Jane. And that biyotch sounds like a fucking idiot. She should have known you would have all your own materials. Dumbass.Dark auburn is good, Minx. I just went ‘Cinnaberry’ for the holidays.

  • GItheJOE

    Jane, I am sorry I broke into your home but I needed your toothbrush and wanted to make sure you had plenty of lotion. IT PUTS THE LOTION IN THE BASKET!Two BJs this site gets better everynite.

  • http://www.broadwaycarl.blogspot.com Broadway Carl

    Jane, if you’re really freaking about this, I’ll take you off the page. No worries. I’ll check back in an about an hour.

  • bjritz

    Jane, you should really start carrying around a tape recorder and playback some of the things you say.

  • jane

    Redmond (if that IS your real name)…where might one read your celeb gossip?

  • Redmond

  • Redmond

    Jane, let’s just say the blog I write for focuses on outward appearances. It’s not very deep. “Overly simplified” one might say.

  • ceu

    Mr Ritz – contemporary

  • jane

    Goddamn right, if it all comes down to teh Arrested Development. I win. I win. One to nothin’.

  • ceu

    HA!The possible, perhaps, impending victory of Al Franken to the Senate has sent GOP officials into a paranoid tizzy.In an “urgent message” to supporters, the Republican National Lawyer Association accuses Franken and his “liberal allies” of “working feverishingly [sic] to steal the Minnesota Senate election.”http://thepoliticalcarnival.blogspot.com/2008/12/gop-officials-in-paranoid-tizzy-over.htmlJane – please note: not bad news [grin]

  • gypsysoul

  • Redmond

    Best sitcom ever. And I HATE sitcoms.Though “It’s Always Sunny” is a close second.

  • jane

  • Redmond

  • ceu

    No, Jane. No, you haven’t.

  • jane

    Redmoyevich, Theo is really a Thea. I mean, he’s a she. And only just 17. So careful, and watch out for Chris Hansen.

  • Redmond

    Well, ceu, how can we speak to ya without the whole GDA world knowing??Hate to have your Mom getting nosey.

  • Redmond

  • gypsysoul

    qt..is that the one jason momoa is on?jason momoa needs to be my baby daddy…who am i kidding “one” of my babies daddy.

  • ceu

    I’m the mom, Jane.Actually, Facebook is where my daughter does a lot of her online stuff and it feels a little like invading her territory. I’m thinking on it, tho.

  • gypsysoul

    hey guys…how do you do the linked word in red?

  • GItheJOE

    Theo is also an Agent and has definetly put me on the watch list. I hear someone knocking on my back door and there is a dude with a camera in my kitchen.

  • Redmond

    Also, Jane is straight schooling me tonight. AD clips. Chris Hansen. HREF tags.

  • Redmond

    Jane: Yep. God, I miss those family photo moments.

  • gypsysoul

    holy ish jane was that in english?!?!i way to dumb for that!

  • GItheJOE

    Jane, I don’t even want to know where you are getting this library of pics. That is some freaky shit. I told I am in college and weird things happen. Jager!

  • PackyJ

    GItheJoe:Chaps are assless by definition.If they weren’t assless, they’d be pants.

  • gypsysoul

    gi…i’m too sexy for this box!http://www.encircling.us/photoplog/index.php?n=1201

  • GItheJOE

    Thanks Pack. That is kind of like the frogs with wings thing right?

  • GItheJOE

    gypsy, you are a chubby chaser? I will try to put on 300 pounds before I come to SC.

  • gypsysoul

    gi…jane’s vagina isn’t the only thing with a virus by the looks of her photos! hehe

  • GItheJOE

    I know it is way to late but who the fuck is Big Dan?

  • PackyJ

    Kinda.But I’m no expert on chaps that aren’t actually meant for riding a motorcycle. There may be some village People variations.

  • jane

    Gypsy, I thought you were gonna get me copies of those pictures at Wal Mart.Oh, Joe killed teh photo department woman with a shovel? Never mind.

  • gypsysoul

    why stop there gi? happiness is being towed on a flat bed to your wedding!

  • gypsysoul

    jane now you’re just being greedy…you got to keep all five videos!

  • jane

    Joe, I missed the whole Big Dan thing myself. Work suxx. Ceu? Who can give us the political recap at this hour?

  • GItheJOE

    I know it is going to sound like a double standard but is there anyway I can be the only one that is obese?

  • PackyJ

    How busy are you in late Feb/early March, Jane?Ireland is beckoning.

  • jane

    Goddamn Pack-me-in-your-suitcase, I may have to make room in the schedule to travel with a sort-of native, and all. I fucking lorve that place.

  • gypsysoul

    jane that sounds like a bat call for mg!gi…we all can’t be fat. bouncing off each other like bumper cars!http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_j2YjahamyA&feature=related

  • ceu

    Political recap?Franken leading but there’re still those 1600 tossed-out absentee votes to deal with; Palin didn’t return 2 phone calls from Geo.H.W.Bush; BushCo still prez, Cheney still a dick.And, ya know…back it 2000 when Bush & Dick got elected, we shoulda known that we’d get fucked.

  • jane

    Joe, here’s some sand in your pants: Landing in Ireland (EU), the locals just kinda waved their passports and walked right on through. The rest of us had to wait in ungodly lines and all that shit.To the natives, it was like, “Oh, you? Okay. Go on, then. (We’re sure the US customs sniffed your panties and threw away your shampoo and all.)”

  • jane

    But Chris, we never even got dinner. Or even got flirted with!

  • PackyJ

    Jane, I haven’t worked out the details yet, but I’ll make sure to score an extra large steamer trunk for luggage. I wouldn’t want you to be uncomfortable.

  • gypsysoul

    wtf? heads up turn your sound off!http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QGfXwwscXRs

  • GItheJOE

    Jesus gypsy, aren’t there weight limits on those things someone could get hurt.ceu, who is Big Dan?

  • ceu

    I know, right?

  • PackyJ

    I have an Irish passport, so I just stroll on through.

  • bjritz

    Test of Jane’s link:( Gimme All Your Lovin” and such also If this works great, if not I’m html challenged.

  • http://obamaproject.windonwater.net QueenTiye

    @ceu: Dirk Benedict was a tweenage crush. Hate to admit all the fuss with Bill and Monica instantly brought Dirk to mind…@gypsy: Nope. Jason is on Stargate Atlantis…all new final episodes after the holidays!Yes… just a tad geeky over here…QT

  • bjritz

    Can any member of GDAB Cescans invite someone into the group or just Carl?

  • jane

    BJ, why do you want ALL our lovin’? Are you greedy?

  • jane

    Packing-my-bags-as-I-type-ster, I have a passport and luggage…money may be a different story, but I hope to have a better outlook by Jan. 31.

  • http://obamaproject.windonwater.net QueenTiye

    @joe: See Bob’s earlier post called “Big Dan.” I’m off the subject here at the GDAB, but a very mild rebuttal is up on my blog. (I’m aware you see things in a more Cesca-ish way. )QT

  • GItheJOE

    That was weird, cool, gross and disturbing gypsy. I got to go sports fans but I will see you in the AM.

  • gypsysoul

    man…why can i not understand the link thingy?!?!ok…so i find something i want to post…take it from there someone!!! hehe

  • ceu

    Joe – John Goodman’s character in O Brother Where Art Thou. I haven’t had time to explore beyond that for the deeper meaning. (for some reason, videos have stopped playing on my computer…)

  • jane

    Nite all. Taping teh cats on, grabbing teh down comforter for tonite.

  • bjritz

    Yes! I’m havin a Gordon Gekko moment. But, I always give more than I receive.

  • gypsysoul
  • PackyJ

    Janeoyavich, I’m serious about going. It’s been nearly 2 years, and I’m suffering withdrawal symptoms.Once I get there, it’s not too expensive, relative types will put a roof over my head if necessary when I’m in their town.

  • jane

    ceu, have you updated your flash player lately?

  • jane

    Packatya, I’m serious too. Also serious about being too broke unless I get my shit together next month. But still.

  • gypsysoul

    i give you love ritzy!

  • ceu

    prolly not. I should.Mostly I play damsel in distress when my computer fucks up & make one of the boys deal with it. Gives them a chance to feel all manly. [I get to fix everything else so....]

  • jane

    And PS, Hewlitt-Packard, I was damn fine driving a stick on the wrong side of the road (before too many pints, of course).

  • gypsysoul

    good night my new favorite people. my dog is freezing and wants my body in the bed with her as a heater. she runs my life!

  • jane

    Christopholos, I couldn’t run Firefox and also watch video until I updated flash (google it!). Then suddenly all was right in my world again. Also such as, I have been reading more about IE holes that make me glad I did it when I did.Supereasy fix. You can brag about it. (Or never mention it so’s you can still ask them boys for help.)

  • http://www.broadwaycarl.blogspot.com Broadway Carl

    BJ, Redmond and Mariette – you’re in the Facebook group. Mariette, are you a lurker?

  • bjritz

    nite Jane and Sysoul, I bid you fond farewell and pleasant dreams of lovely Irish fields of wild flowers while downing fresh squeezed Irish dew.I’ve got to cash it in as well, bye all whom remain.

  • PackyJ

    Jane – Same here. I even like the roundabouts way better than stoplights.If the weather is good, I’m seriously considering riding a MC this time around, there’s a rental place in Kildare that is reasonable. Achill Island (and all of the West) would be great to do on 2 wheels.Good night, Gypsoyovich!

  • bjritz

    Thanks – BroadwayC for the facebookie thingie.

  • PackyJ

    Sleep well, BJRitzo!

  • ceu

    Yeah, I’ve done it… just didn’t occur to me that it needed updating when a week ago everything was just fine. I’m blaming shopping.I read the IE holes too so turned off auto update. Am now using Google Chrome. Not sure if I like it. Doesn’t hold cached pages for very long & sometimes when you click back, it goes back 2 or 3 pages. Used FireFox – same as you, couldn’t watch videos.

  • PackyJ

    It’s time for me to get off here, have a couple things to do before the sandman arrives.Sleep well, everyone.

  • jane

    Nite kids.

  • dontpanic23

    *whew, glad Jane’s not in the pokey after the earlier remark in the puppy thread*I fell asleep about halfway through Maddow, sitting right here in my chair. Definitely a Facebook Creation Night hangover.Ah, a stroll down Franken lane.Joe, you can sign up for a GDAB facebook with first name GIthe and last name Joe. It’s what I did–not using your name, but mine dodo–and you can probably do it with no problem even if you already have one heh. Please accept our invitation to join (and that goes for Chris and everybody else). (Chris? Your absence is conspicuous).Jane, you gonna post the rocket on your FB? Please post the rocket!Add to the quotechives: “Carl: You’re banned.”–Theo (that’s an official nomination)(Along with Carl’s reason for being banned)Jane, you start collecting the Rove family cock rings and I’m boycotting the basement.BJRitz–you aren’t the BJ on my facebook? Then by what name is that person going on here? I’m confused. And I was married to a BJ so don’t confuse me, I might accidentally send divorce papers! Again! Ok, now I see–so who IS the other BJ?Minx–yes, a biopsy. I’m headed for a January hysterectomy. What fun. (Thanks for asking).Another nomination idea: “I’m so awesome I shoot robots and rainbows out of my face!”Posted by: RedmondThat made me giggle. And it’s early.

  • Redmond

    I MADE THE FACEBOOK GROUP! WHOO!
