That’s always been.. just gripping as hell.

I’m [mostly] harmless...:)
Me too...mostly.

...my compassion for and defense of abused critters and kids
You're my kind of gal.

But my dreams
They arent as empty
As my conscience seems to be

I'd click on the link, but since the guy wrote such a really, really, nice appraisal of FR (/sarc, of course), I won't even give him that 'hit'.

I hope he has a real nice day rocking in the corner, howling, and foaming at the mouth...

[Smokin' Joe]

Yep. I’m not sure if they were wiped or not, but his nodes weren’t running. I ain’t goin’ back fer a secont look, neither!

"Sign me up as an “anonymous coward”. I detest blog-pimping."

Now, how in the (bleep) did you do that?? I could swear when I read that post it said, "Pimp-blogging...!"

Music always brings back specific moments to me.

I remember driving a van to NYC to drop off a boyfriend’s friend at his college.

They were both asleep and I had “Who’s Next” cranking on the deserted Jersey Turnpike.
[bear in mind I’m right off the turnip truck and had seen very little of The Big World]

Just as this song came on, the Jersey refineries came into view on my left and innumerable stacks were shooting the most amazing flames far up into the pitch black 3am sky.

They went on for miles.

It probably doesn’t sound like much but to me, it was just...awesome and ethereal.

That was 31 years ago and I can still close my eyes and see it like it’s in right in front of me.

All songs are like that, for me.
Every one has a “moment” attached to it.

Of all my senses, my hearing is the one I fear losing, most.

I would shrivel up and die without my music.
Every song is a piece of my life.

"Say, I wouldn't mind being in the proverbial foxhole WTSHTF with any of these folks ...."

Count me in on that ... they are good people, not to mention funny as hell (see the famous "Lefty" video) and crack shots all!

The above-posted, which I can only describe as a 13 paragrphs too long bitchy screed, by Marc what's-his-name, gave me a damned headache. He is a prickly little dude with severe whining issues ...

[Salamander]

So...we goin’ for a ride on my Harley, soon?...:)

[Salamander]

I knew you were going to post that verse.

Best not to.
You gotta spend five minutes scraping the crud outta your cookies and temps file.

“I hope he has a real nice day rocking in the corner, howling, and foaming at the mouth... “

But first he has to gnaw through the straps.

[Salamander]

LOLOL!

[or maybe it was pimp-flogging]

[Smokin' Joe]

But first he has to gnaw through the straps

If his tongue was as sharp as he thinks, he'd have had that licked a long time ago...

[Salamander]

Bless your heart...I’ve played it already about 6 times, now...LOL

[my dogs are totally sick of it, I’m sure]...;D

[sargon]

The viciousness I have seen doesn’t sound like a party or fun to me.

[Eaker]

Can I please have an interpreter?

Damn it! He's a blogpimp! He doesn't have time to make sense!

[paulycy]

What is your primary complaint, exactly?

We’re not going to stop. We’re quite comfortable with our approach. We improve it every chance we get. It is effective and becoming more so. We like the attention it gets because it communicates the message we want, the good FReepers get that message and the idiots tend to disappear.

So what’s your *real* beef here? What’s your butthurt?
