Old School Memes from FReepers Past

Posted on 04/04/2024 8:11:10 AM PDT by RasterMaster

Before I even knew what a "meme" was, I remember discovering the most incredible ones and knowing exactly who crafted them. Since then, many of their names have escaped me in the span of time. As I reflect on over 20 years since joining FR, I'm reminded of members who are no longer with us (due to bans or departures) but whose art shaped much of our common history.

Calling all our long-standing members! Do any of you recall specific names or have memorable examples from our community's golden era, spanning from the late 1990s to 2010? Share your stories and treasures from the past!

Look at what just popped up from 2002 when I did a duckduckgo search:

Please monitor the situation for me I have to take a shower now. 19 posted on 11/05/2002 1:48:08 PM PST by Mad Dawgg [ Post Reply ... posted on Free Republic are those of the individual posters and do not necessarily represent the opinion of Free Republic or its management.

I think I saw a photo of that woman holding two “bullets” (unspent cartridges) that were “fired into her house and struck her bed.” At least that’s what AP claims!

It was a response to vanities (usually) or news stories that made absolutely no sense.

It used to have a caption that read, "I have no idea what you are talking about so, here is a picture of a bunny with a pancake on it's head".

Interesting times....The FBI agent who worked the Jefferson case, is the same one stalling on the Hunter Laptop case and running the cases against Trump for Bruce and Nellie Ohr...
