Sassy!

Dan and Ally, couldn't you find a better picture of Pete. Like one where he's sans shirt, sans pants. He can keep the tie though. And socks!

― Carey (Carey), Friday, 21 March 2003 21:49 (twenty-three years ago)

that pic shows him at the end of an interpretive dance routine celebrating abc.

BEN YOU BASTARD I WAS JUST GOING TO POST THAT!!!! He is so sad for Moscow. Those red commies, they just don't get it. He will save them. He is Peter Jennings.

If I was Colin Powell, I'd interpret that painting as evidence of Moscow's nefarious control over our Canadian broadcasters!

Who knew he was JFK Jr?

― Yanc3y (ystrickler), Friday, 21 March 2003 21:55 (twenty-three years ago)

his upturned collar fills me with warmth.

― g--ff c-nn-n (gcannon), Friday, 21 March 2003 21:56 (twenty-three years ago)

He doesn't have the urgency of Chris Matthews though.

― Ally (mlescaut), Friday, 21 March 2003 21:57 (twenty-three years ago)

by that you mean collar-bursting, eye bulging, amphetamine glaze, yes?

― jess (dubplatestyle), Friday, 21 March 2003 21:59 (twenty-three years ago)

Yes, it's a gift of his. However, Chris Matthews ain't got shit now that I seen this.

I just have to reiterate: HIS NAME IS WOLF BLITZER!

I mean, for fuck's sake, Wolf Blitzer! His parents must be totally hardcore! He should wear like a viking hat, that name is so hardcore. Wolf Blitzer! Oh my god.

OT please. I don't want Jennings to see this thread and think we just give the love away to anyone.

― Carey (Carey), Friday, 21 March 2003 22:52 (twenty-three years ago)

Gideon Yago (his name is an anagram of Die, Gay Goon! I'll note again) is a frikkin' semifinalist on American Idol compared to Peter Jennings' Timberlake. That diary army thing he did: Dud.

― Anthony Miccio (Anthony Miccio), Friday, 21 March 2003 22:53 (twenty-three years ago)

I love Jennings.

Yes yes, nabisco. But do you *LOVE* Jennings?

― Yanc3y (ystrickler), Friday, 21 March 2003 22:54 (twenty-three years ago)

Gideon Yago (his name is an anagram of Die, Gay Goon! I'll note again) is a frikkin' semifinalist on American Idol compared to Peter Jennings' Timberlake.

Dude, you've just said that Gideon Yago has about five hundred times the amount of raw talent of Peter Jennings. THAT'S NOT RIGHT.

I think Soledad and Peter would make an excellent couple and they should get married and have ubernewspeople babies.

Now this is one of my favs. She could be on the air saying "a newkyoolar missile is heading straight for nickalicious, Lexington, KY" and I would still have that goofy "yr pritty" grin on my face.

It's still the best thread ever in history.

― Ally (mlescaut), Friday, 2 May 2003 16:00 (twenty-two years ago)

How did I miss this thread? The years when I was an aspiring news junkie watching the network news every night (aka, the late seventies through much of the ideas), Jennings was my fave of the bunch.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Friday, 2 May 2003 16:01 (twenty-two years ago)

three months pass...

Did anyone actually get to hook up with Peter jennings as a result of this thread? Just curious.

― Ally (mlescaut), Wednesday, 20 August 2003 20:43 (twenty-two years ago)

Hey lovely ladies, I'm here just for you.

― Peter Jennings (Dee the Lurker), Wednesday, 20 August 2003 21:01 (twenty-two years ago)

I live across the street from ABC. Just FYI. To Carey.

― Ally (mlescaut), Wednesday, 20 August 2003 21:02 (twenty-two years ago)

Brokaw roxx u r all gay.

What's the deal with the anti-semitism accusations against Jennings? I'm not sure that they amount to more than Palestinian sympathy, but he seems to be otherwise generally center-right wing, which might be cause for suspicion.

I once was taking the bus past across-the-street-from-Ally and saw Ted Koppel trying to escape from a tourist or something. I saw Chris Matthews off-air yesterday and there was absolutely nothing urgent about him. I should get my "fap friend" to relate her Gideon Yago come-on story.

― gabbneb (gabbneb), Wednesday, 20 August 2003 21:09 (twenty-two years ago)

ten months pass...

ok, now.

― Carey (Carey), Wednesday, 23 June 2004 19:26 (twenty-one years ago)

I remember once, during some MTV coverage of an inaugural ball or something when Peter Jennings showed up completely trashed wearing a tux and holding a glass of champagne. YI YI YI YIEEEEEE1!!!!

― Carey (Carey), Wednesday, 23 June 2004 19:30 (twenty-one years ago)

yeah, i remember that. Dave Pirner was all dudded up in a nice plaid sportcoat, his greasy dreads dripping grease over everything.

as _Generation Echhhh!_ wrote about that moment, Jennings & his wife looked like they were parents checking in on the kids' party.

Heh. Does anybody remember Roger Clinton?

― Kingfish of Burma (Kingfish), Wednesday, 23 June 2004 19:35 (twenty-one years ago)

four months pass...

anyone watching the Clinton interview? what an asshole

― gabbneb (gabbneb), Friday, 19 November 2004 02:38 (twenty-one years ago)

Jennings says he heard Clinton wants to write a mystery novel and asks him to come up with a first line. Clinton says something about the President's aide being found dead in a park. Jennings laughs.

― gabbneb (gabbneb), Friday, 19 November 2004 02:56 (twenty-one years ago)

I know, I was like "WTF Bill?!"

― Stormy Davis (diamond), Friday, 19 November 2004 02:57 (twenty-one years ago)

holy shit!

― cinniblount (James Blount), Friday, 19 November 2004 03:03 (twenty-one years ago)

yes, it is very funny that you miss your dead best friend!

― gabbneb (gabbneb), Friday, 19 November 2004 03:03 (twenty-one years ago)

his answer to the last question on the Jennings thing -- who would you most like to meet -- really depressed the fuck out of me. Because his answer was awesome and and because that frickin idiot in the White House would probably just say 'the pope' or some shit. Damn.

has BC been forced to give up red meat or something?

― Stormy Davis (diamond), Friday, 19 November 2004 03:06 (twenty-one years ago)

Just in case anybody missed this from the "weird patrons at your workplace" thread...

The last printing company I worked at had a few self-service copiers in the lobby, and we used to get a crazy woman we called "Mrs. Jennings" in all the time. She was obsessed with Peter Jennings, the ABC news anchor — she was convinced they were married and that Peter was only away for a little while on assignment. She wore a sandwich sign of two washboard-sized sheets of metal strung together with yarn — the signs said "PETER ONLY PETER" on both sides.

The front counter staff would clean up in the lobby when she was around so they could spy on what she was copying.... usually it was love letters to Peter. She kept all her messed up copies so nobody had hard evidence of what she was copying, except for one time when she copied some pages and stuck a whole bunch of stuff in a FedEx overnight letter envelope. She left behind one sheet that wound up in the duplex tray, and the service vultures pounced. She was pretty miserable and wished Peter would come back home to her at least for a weekend, and she hoped that the enclosed airline ticket would make it possible for them to meet...

I missed this, what was his answer?

― teeny (teeny), Friday, 19 November 2004 03:12 (twenty-one years ago)

as long as bill has access to pink meat he'll be alright

― cinniblount (James Blount), Friday, 19 November 2004 03:12 (twenty-one years ago)

I missed this, what was his answer?

He said he'd like to meet the (?? forget the title -- don't if it was President/Prime Minister/cabinet member/etc) of Kenya, who eliminated some sort of fee for schoolchildren, which resulted in a million more children attending the schools (I think that was it -- gabbneb?) Then he followed by saying something like, that act will do more good for the world than he can imagine any other political leader doing in the near future.
