Every wonder why the ... FReepers are talking about beebers? What that acronym means? Why a moose would bite someone's sister? And why everyone needs to take a shower all of a sudden?

Hopefully the above will help answer your questions.

NOTE: This is the final draft that I will post on the forum this year (further updates will be placed on my profile page). This, however, does NOT mean you still can't make suggestions for inclusion. Keep in mind, suggestions should be fairly unique to FreeRepublic and have lasting value.

Thanks to all who have contributed and, of course, to Jim Robinson for the venue to post all these witty (and not so witty) remarks and images.

I'm stuned!

As this site is publicly searchable by Yahoo or Google, posting in the clear like this is very dangerous.

Shouldn’t there be a secret handshake, or something, required to have access to it? /lol

Since I’m still a n00b, let me axe you this; Have you been keeping this up all of these years? That’s a tremendous amount of work you’ve done.

Thank you.

You have "Two thubs Up" in the glossary, why not include "2 Thumbs Down" also

Regarding moose — that all got mixed up with Montgomery County Police Chief Moose (aka PC Moose) who was investigating the John Allen Mohammed sniper killings by putting out a composite sketch of a nondescript white van, prompting howls of outrage over van color profiling.

It turned out to be a blue sedan.

The first three “chapters” in FR, all organized around the same time, were Florida, Puget Sound (WA) and Los Angeles. I believe the very first organized and regular chapter meetings were in LA. Several others developed quickly including Connecticut, Dallas, Phoenix...others who remember that far back should chime in. At one time we had over 50 regularly organized chapters with chapter leadership/officers and many more unofficial ones.

It was mainly through these official and unofficial chapters that the Free Republic Network was able to help organize rallies in over 250 cities during the run up to the Iraq war and during the Election debacle of 2000. Free Republic Network member “registered” created or assisted in creating the “Sore-Loserman” and “Dem Crying Baby” graphics (among hundreds of others) and FRN board member “doughtyone” created a website where the graphics could be hosted, downloaded and printed into posters. That was one reason those posters/graphics were everywhere overnight.

Those were the glory days of FR activism. We had energy and vision. But FR activism succumbed to infighting and turf wars. Almost all of the good people just faded away, not caring to spend their time fighting those who were supposed to be allies. Now FR activism is relegated mostly to sparsely attended weekend confrontations with the useless, unimportant cankles at Code Pink.

From defeating Al Gore and insuring a military victory in Iraq to shouting down aging hippies. How sad.

BTW - The first FReepers to meet Jim Robinson and family in person were myself, BadJoe, Willa Johns and Clinton's a liar...we drove up to Fresno on July 4th, 1998 and met Jim in a park for a little bbq. Afterwards we went back to his house and FReeped from Jim's computers where I believe the famous “pool poopy” thread originated.

What a job....Wow.

Gore War : Election 2000’s litigious aftermath

Clingons : Clinton appointees who were made into bureaucrats at the end of the Cliton admin to prevent them from being removed by the incoming Bush admin

Loosers : Losers who can’t spell “losers.”

FRink - Mark levin devotees who refrent the Levin Lounge. Every time he mentions Free Republic the gang takes a FRink. (thanks, Jo Nuvark)

There are several more FRink triggers than a mention of FR; including Mark singing "Kumbaya" and Ted Kennedy singing "Sweet Rosie O'Grady". See header on the daily Lounge thread, posted at around 5:30) for the complete list
