For all you FReepers that read the first 5 lines of a thread to see if you are interested, YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU ARE MISSING UNLESS YOU STOP ON IN ON THE OLNEY FREEP. We are always PICTURE HEAVY (kudos to iMacMan and [Mrs] T) with a good narrative (patting myself on the back) to go along with the pics. Of course BufordP and BMWcyle's reports when [Mrs] T and I are away are also great. Thanks to both.
So as not to disappoint those who have stopped by for the first time, iMacMan does a terrific job catching waves from passing cars. He takes hundreds of pics, reviews them, comes up with the best 20, crops them, and send them to us for posting. His arrows are also great. And I have to post the best of the best to keep this thread from getting tooooo long.
iMacMan's GREAT PICS. The third pic has the reflection of our Big Flag in their window.
And with iMacMan heading out for vacation for most of the summer, [Mrs] Trooprally tried her hand at getting pics of the passing cars. iMacMan reviewed the camera features with her for best results. And she got some good shots. Look out iMacMan -- Looks like you gave up some good secrets.
[Mrs] T's pics of moving cars. Arrows are her next lesson but these pics are great for the first try.
These pics are just a fraction of the support we get in Olney. We can usually count on one hand the number of honks that the moonbats get. And we have word from two sources that a good number of the honks that the moonbats receive are just to get their attention. Then the driver/passengers yell at the moonbats or worst.
This week though I have to admit that the moonbats got about two dozen honks.
We received several middle finger salutes. But the proper salutes we received from cars makes the anti-troop salutes a footnote in this week's report.
FReepers and Lurkers in attendance today were Cindy_True_Supporter, (CTS), Fraxinus, iMacMan, (iMM), Lurker Bill, (aka Lurker Bill from MD on Walter Reed AARs), [Mrs] Trooprally ([Mrs] T) and myself ([Mr] T). The moonbats had 7.
This coming Saturday, April 28, Olney will be short 4 regular FReepers. If you can make it to Olney, this would be a good time to come and help hold down the corner. BufordP will be the ring leader. Thanks BufordP!
The below pic by iMM shows how our group spreads out compared to how the grumpy moonbats huddle together. We also have 2 flags flanking us and 4 large banners on our side.
The below pics are by iMM and [Mrs] T.
BELOW LEFT: This Vietnam Vet is showing the moonbats what he really thinks of them. That's Fraxinus and me talking with him and CTS talking with local Barb. She stopped by last week and just enjoys talking to CTS and hearing from "right" minded patriotic troop-supporting Americans. The Vet said that he's going to try and come out this week. BELOW RIGHT: This lady brought us "some" water and cups. No one got her name but we are grateful.
BELOW LEFT: iMM took this pic of Fraxinus, with [Mrs] T taking pic of BELOW RIGHT: CTS and iMM. CTS and iMM's signs are specialLY made for the moonbats education. Obvious the messages are over their heads.
BELOW LEFT: Lurker Bill with three of our banners visible. The fourth, blue banner is on the grassy knoll to Lurkers Bill's left. BELOW RIGHT: [Mrs] T and Fraxinus under the Big Flag on our left flank.
The moonbats (BELOW TOP) have some strange signs. Note the "Hands Off Iran" and to her left the "Stop War, Stop Warming". But it is typical for the anti-war anti-troop idiots. The guy in the blue shirt is named "Bob". He talked to Lurker Bill and me. He was looking for some Iraqi War Vets to come and talk at a local town meeting. He sounded sincere about wanting a Vet's side of the WOT. But after he stood with the moonbats (BELOW BOTTOM) I told him that there was no way I would suggest to a Vet to go to the meeting. He only wanted Vets to attend for either a tongue lashing or to convince him that the WOT is a mistake, then have him/her talk out against it.
REMEMBER
Next Saturday, same place, Georgia Avenue, MD Rte. 97 and MD Rte. 108 in Olney
NEW TIME - 10:15 AM to 11:45 AM
As always, the D.C. Chapter's rules for protesting will be in effect. Briefly, they are: No violence, no profanity, no racism, no provocations, obey the law and treat all law enforcement officers with respect.
If you have a conversation with Bob again, you might ask him just who Harry Reid calls the winner when he calls Americans the losers in Iraq.
Great work as always! Love your signs! Moonbats are always dreadfully pathetic, but there are going to be more so in the weeks ahead!
Keep up the great work!
It’s great Saturday AM slap stick to be out there, especially when Mr. Bull Horn (aka BMWcyle) is there. He should be back first week in May.
Need to go. Heading to N. Carolina for our niece’s wedding. It will be nice. 80% of the people there will be Marines or military. The groom has been to Iraq twice already.

BTTT!
Meet newbie but frequent lurker, Annuit Cœptis
I met Annuit Cœptis at my niece's wedding. He is on the groom's side of the family, which hails from Texas. The groom is in the Marines with two tours of Iraq under his belt.
While I didn't get the time to know all of Annuit Cœptis's views, he is a good guy and should serve FR well. He is NOT a troll.
You two are the only two I know well enough from Texas to ask to please keep an eye on Annuit Cœptis. Don't want him 'zotted' because he's a newbie. Check out his "About" page. He is knowledgable on things to have already created an "About" page. THANKS.
Annuit Cœptis - Hope you enjoy reading about the FReep that [Mrs] Trooprally and I do locally every Saturday. Do you want on our 'ping' list so you get notified when the thread is up?
Also, do a 'SEARCH' for BOOTCAMP and SANDBOX for the correct use of html codes.
