This vanity thread exists to accept edits from interested persons in anticipation of a December Freeper's Finest discussion of the Free Republic phenomenon commonly known as "Mudboy Slim."

FINAL DRAFT OF SEGMENT THREE:
Mudboy Slim's Adulthood: The FREEPER years

Mudboy Slim has opinions and he gets them from Rush!! Tom Daschle was talking about Mudboy Slim recently! Ok, not really, Mudboy Slim has his own opinions, but, like Rush, he has his favorite hobby well-defined. You can't travel far in a Freepers Finest thread without encountering the warning: Whuppin' Lib'rals is a favorite pasttime of mine...MUD.

With as much seriousness as we can muster, we do note: Mudboy Slim is serious about being a conservative activists. He lives near Richmond, VA, but he travels to DC regularly for DC Freeps. Here's a photo of our subject -- no really, you've waded through this muck this far, you're entitled to a REAL photo of him counter-protesting against anti-capitalist protestors:
(in final do: img src="http://community.webshots.com/rs2/1/26/56/51212656CbcNUx_ph.jpg)

On the biographical front, Mudboy Slim has other forms of fun, as evidenced by the occasional references to liquor in his post, the existence of "MudRats" in his "MudCave," and his regular attendance at fun DC counterprotests against various anti-Americans who periodically invade our nation's capital. Despite all the fun and all the exuberance, those with a more button-down approach need not doubt the strength of his conviction on his political beliefs. This fact perhaps sums-it-all-up" the night before a big DC Freep, that he was so excited about going that he was having trouble sleeping. Now *that's* political enthusiasm.

Mudboy Slim has not wasted his hard-won musical talents. He's got musical equipment and plays in a band and thinks and talks about music A LOT. All of us have enjoyed his reworked lyrics here on Free Republic. Even if it's a tune you don't know, the lyrics are fun to read.

Now, some of you may strongly suspect that portions of this biography aren't up to the highest standards of journalistic integrity you've come to expect from the Freeper's Finest. That's for the better. We have taken our inspiration today from Bob Woodward of the Washington Post. We also had help via a vanity thread where Mudboy Slim's fans shared their remembrances of his youth. These thread included expressions of fear should Mudboy Slim wake up early on a certain Saturday morning (apparently little chance of that!) and notice what we were up to: "You have a head start on Mudboy Slim, but I don't think it's enough. Since I'm doing this from a distance, ping if you need some close air support.#;^) Here's to responsible journalism!" Thus, we must credit the many would-be Freeper-Journalists who provided confirmation of every single fact in this story as well as the fiction. We don't want to tell you EVERYTHING about Mudboy in just our FIRST article about this unfathomable subject. "Some mystery becomes the proud." Robert Frost, Take Something Like a Star. Besides, the vigorous, decidedly and exuberantly liberal-whoopin' stance of Mudboy Slim cannot be explained by a purely biographical approach. It has to be, rather, sung. And so we'd like to close out our biography with one of Mudboy Slim's new lyrics to an old tune . . . . Here's one of the Freepers' favorites. Let's all sing together, shall we?:

"Vile Forces"
(To be sung to the Rolling Stones' "Wild Horses")

Bill thinks this Country is easy to fool,
Abusing his power, obstructing the truth!
Shameless traitor, Presidency's a sham,
You know we can't let this High Treason stand!
Vile forces hold Bill's critics at bay,
But wild, wild horses couldn't drive me away!

America's sufferin' a dull, achin' pain,
Networks can't hide it, their power has waned.
No explanation, no compromise...
Will make us feel better until Slick resigns.
Vile forces try to lead us astray...
Lib'ral "choices" drain our freedoms away!

It must concern you, Bill's sins and his lies,
But now Slick's beholden to his Communist spies.
Our faith's been broken, Bill must be tried,
He'll rot in prison to pay for his crimes!
Vile forces try to excuse it away,
Democrat voices remain silent today.

Vile forces mustn't lead us astray...
Righteous forces, they'll triumph someday!!

Muchas Gracias...MUD

Finally, it's perhaps music to all of our ears to hear that in a recent post, Mudboy Slim encouraged every one to attend CPAC. As Mudboy Slim would/has/will say:

FReepers, we must, and WE SHALL...
RE-IMPEACH. CONVICT. DETHRONE.
DISBAR. DE-PENSION. DE-LEGITIMIZE.
INDICT. CONVICT. IMPRISON. DISCARD KEY.
Please join your fellow FReepers in Washington, DC for the CPAC Convention (January 30-February 2, 2003)!! FReegards...MUDBTW...SlumberParty at Mudboy Slim's House!! Free Drinks. I'm going to kill FreeTheHostages for Making Up These Fake Party Invitations, BTW. WOOOOHOOOOO

[Billie]

I'm loving how you're handling your creative writing assignment! LOL! Carry on!

Hey, Free. I just got back from playing 18 and thought I would check in on your project.

You seem to be doing quite well. Actually, I expected bloody body parts(yours) all over this thread, but it looks like you are still staying one step ahead of Mud.

Carry on with your creativity, your time is limited. #;^)

[P8riot]

I've actually been to MUD's house. Here is a view from across the yard

[FreeTheHostages]

wow, the backyard certain does look different

[FreeTheHostages]

"Carry on with your creativity, your time is limited. #;^)"

Yeah, it's kinda eerie. The calm before the storm . . . . My insurance papers and all are in order.

[petuniasevan]

PJB and Mudboy Slim.

[FreeTheHostages]

Hey, I don't want to get technical on you, but isn't your post accurate or something? ??? I'm looking for more Woodwordian biographical info.

[Tijeras_Slim]

He's an inspiration to Slims everywhere.

[FreeTheHostages]

OK, I've got a final draft bio out to the Freepers Finest people. ::dusting hands::

On to the next holiday project, the gingerbread house contest.

What should be the rules? What should be the prize? I'm still thinking . . . .

"THE ROLLING STONES - Gimme Shelter"

Ooh, a storm is threatening my very life today
If I don't get some shelter, oh yeah I'm gonna fade away
War, children, it's just a shot away, it's just a shot away
War, children, it's just a shot away, it's just a shot away

Ooh, see the fire is sweepin, our very streets today
Burns like a red coal carpet, mad bull lost its way
Rape, murder, it's just a shot away, it's just a shot away
Rape, murder, it's just a shot away, it's just a shot away
Rape, murder, it's just a shot away, it's just a shot away

Mmm, the flood is threatening, my very life today
Gimme, gimme shelter, or I'm gonna fade away
War, children, it's just a shot away, it's just a shot away
It's just a shot away, it's just a thaught away, it's just a shot away

I said, love, sister, it's just a kiss away, it's just a kiss away
It's just a kiss away, it's just a kiss away, kiss away, kiss away, yeah

Been there, done that...as a FirstYearMan at UVA in the Spring of 1982, I was able to enjoy the wonders of the FINAL Easter's EVER...until now!! Mad Bowl was the location of MUD Bowl fer an entire week as all the frats on Rugby Road--like PhiPsi, ChiPhi, Figi, SPE, Zeta* (*great sorority of partyin' good-lookin' chicks) turned the water on for days on end filling up MUD Bowl fer the mud-divers to perform in front of a huge, drunken crowd til the cops broke it up, which they rarely did. Also, that Easters, it rained cats and dawgs, and the Ol' Lambeth Field where Skip Castro and the States were headlining with Johnny Sportcoat and the Casuals adding the kewl...LOL!! Well, with all the rain and the ALL-YOU-CAN-DRINK FREE KEGS, well, let's just say it got a bit messy there, too.
