Yes, it WAS twenty years ago today . . .
Self | 5/24/'19 | Zionist Conspirator

Posted on 05/24/2019 2:33:28 PM PDT by Zionist Conspirator

I meant to post something last night, really, but we had a crisis involving the home cooling system suddenly not working and endangering my 89-year old mother (who has a history of heart failure). Thank G-d it's fixed now, but I realize just a prolonged power outage at the wrong time of year could be fatal.

Anyway, yes, today is my 20th anniversary as Free Republic's you-know-what in the punch bowl, as well as its most grumpy and offensive member. I first signed up to defend Israel from the freaking NAZIS who were infesting the site back then. Eventually I despaired, wrote my own opus, and left, but after 9/11 I came back. While this place is certainly much improved, there are still people here whose ability to get away with murder absolutely baffles me.

Back then I was on dial-up. I didn't get DSL until eight years later. But what a long, strange, and totally frustrating trip it's been.

I know I'm still pretty obnoxious, but nothing to what I was in the old days. It's a wonder I'm still around.

Just a word of thanks to Jim Rob for putting up with me for this long.

I still cannot understand why questioning the validity of the "new testament" in addition to previous Divine Revelation is so shocking. FCOL, if some of you folks had been around back then you'd have all rejected it because at that time "that stuff's not in the Bible."

I'll be here as long as I can, though I don't post anything like as frequently as I used to.

BEATLES
Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band Lyrics

It was twenty years ago today,
Sgt. Pepper taught the band to play
They’ve been going in and out of style
But they’re guaranteed to raise a smile.
So may I introduce to you
The act you’ve known for all these years,
Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band.

We’re Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band,
We hope you will enjoy the show,
We’re Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band,
Sit back and let the evening go.
Sgt. Pepper’s lonely, Sgt. Pepper’s lonely,
Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band.
It’s wonderful to be here,
It’s certainly a thrill.
You’re such a lovely audience,
We’d like to take you home with us,
We’d love to take you home.

I don’t really want to stop the show,
But I thought that you might like to know,
That the singer’s going to sing a song,
And he wants you all to sing along.
So let me introduce to you
The one and only Billy Shears
And Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band.

In other words, he was about 20 years ahead of the times.
