VANITY: The "Truth" about JimRob and Free Republic according to BADJOE

LibertyPost.org | 10/10/03 | BADJOE (Slightly revised by JimRob)

[Jim Robinson]

Dear Free Republic Friends,

My old friend and brother-in-arms BADJOE has promised to warm the cockles of our hearts by publishing an expose (the truth about JimRob and Free Republic according to Joe) on the 18th of this month, which represents the one year anniversary of the date he last posted to FreeRepublic.com and started up with LibertyPost.org.

So, as I believe that only the truth can set you free, and based upon the stratergery of pre-emptive strike, I have a confession to make (before BADJOE makes it public):

I have poisoned the well.

By my sly innuendos behind the scenes.

By my intellectual ineptitude.

By not trusting those that brung me to the dance to bring me home.

By my biting every hand that fed me.

By my arrogance that causes me to think I did it all by myself.

By my stubborness not because of principle, but because of my lack of ability to see what is transpiring.

Evidenced by:

One would think that with half again as many Freepers. with a recovering economy, It would take a great deal less time to raise the necessary funds.

By this time in the June 2002 effort with a goal of $70,000 we had raised $73,000. Not because of who did the fundraising, but because the sense of purpose, of family, of comaraderie, was still present.

BADJOE rang the warning bell, but none heard.

Conclusion:

It is a sad day.

For what was once a great hope, a means of bringing together those who are willing to pay dearly in blood, sweat, and money to save this country, we all love, has been reduced to an asterisk.

So sayeth BADJOE as he promises to publish all this and much more on the 18th. He's been feverishly working on this "project" for one full year. In addition to the "truth about JimRob" BADJOE intends to further betray our trust placed in him by revealing the names of our moderators. And who knows what else?

I can hardly wait.

Is it the 18th yet? Tick, tock.

Thank you so much for your reply! You might want to fast forward to the moderator's request at 1661. I fully support the recommendation and thus, am not confronting anything.

[NeoCaveman]

Of course, if one of them slept with the other's girlfriend would that cause the band to break up?

[dogbyte12]

Reminds me of Aerosmith. Liv Tyler's mom was sleeping with everybody. She thought Todd Rundgren was Liv's dad for several years, until Liv developed daddy Steven Tyler's lips.

Guys are less selective in rock bands. The same goes for female groupies.

[Alamo-Girl]

I've been curious to see who would come up with the correct answer to the question. I do know who said it, but I wasn't asked so I don't wish to spoil the quest.

[Senator Pardek]

Pardek has posted more this month than he's posted in five years.

I've been taking my vitamins.

[NeoCaveman]

LOL, see #1908.

[Senator Pardek]

(I volunteer to teach him about the NFL.)

Try to tackle me - I dare you.

[dogbyte12]

I've been taking my vitamins.

They aren't manufactured in little blue pills with the word Oxy on them are they?

[Willie Green]

Willie, do you have a train set at home? I have always been dying to ask

No, not since I was a kid.
But every year before the holidays, I get an urge to do something.
Maybe a tiny layout in N or even Z scale.
Something nice that could be displayed on an end table or coffee table and not take up too much room when stored with all the other Christmas stuff.
But that's just another of those "one of these days" projects that I never seem to get around to.

[Senator Pardek]

Har - I didn't see that!

[DaughterOfAnIwoJimaVet]

Oh, please. My ten year-old nephew would be tougher to tackle than you. ; )

[dixie sass]

Sighhhhhh, here we go again! I thought all of this had been resolved?

I'll wander through the comments later, something to do later on...

[Senator Pardek]

I would enjoy the experiment.

[Mr. Silverback]

From your homepage: "And now, for your enjoyment, some suggestive scenes of jets refueling. Oh-h-h-h..."

Man, I loved that episode. Why oh why did MST3K have to die?

[Senator Pardek]

BW - I know I'm asking too much - but might I get paid to fend off your physical advances? Science costs money, after all.

[Mr. Silverback]

The moderators do their job far too well to be Democrats. Why, if Tom Daschle was a moderator, the trolls would have their own daily thread.

Perhaps I banned them. According to *some*, I have the incredible power of banning folks from the entire internet!

A viking kitty on steroids huh?

[txhurl]

A thread where one pays to, nay, rather bids to disappear one's FR antagonist.. where scores of sharks literally lay cash to witness the dis-emboweling of certain un-named jerk-bait.... where old scores are settled... tell me more, this sounds very satisfying.

[Ogmios]

Thank you AlamoGirl, now I don't have to go trudging through this huge thing. I have to agree with him, but I don't have a lot from the past 3 weeks to be mad about, so I am willing to give it a new start.

Easy for me, but probably not so easy for others.

I think that I will be politically correct and leave it at that.
