Newbie/Former DUer (Yeah, whatever, goodbye to you and your friends, ZOT!)

Me, Myself, and I

[SeanQuinn]

Hi, my name is Sean Quinn. My original political philosophy was that of a moderate, then I creeped liberal, then joined DU. I had my fun there and became a donor (which I think's about to expire). I got a membership at FR, ORIGINALLY to just troll and to read as most DU folk do. After some serious post-election thinking and re-evaluating of my philosophy (a good issue for this is social security) I stopped going to DU. I started listening to 580 WDBO here in Orlando which advertises itself as "the conservative radio station". Thank the Lord, we don't get Air America here, so it's basically one of the few choices in talk radio. I heard Boortz (whom I love for his open-source talks as well as his political philosophy, yaay for linux) and then Hannity. The gentlemen I put down as a "rightie conservative" before now started to make some serious sense.

So, I say, HI. Though I have an account at DU of the same name, I won't be going back there. I'm pretty sure that I've found a home for me here at FR.

If you have any questions, comments, etc. please contact me on AIM at QuinnieDaPooh921 or of course, as always, post them below.

I'm a bit of a neocon, in the extent of taking it literally. I am a new conservative. I hope to once be known as a paleocon.

What I'd like to know is where to find a good guide or some hints for a newbie like myself. Is there a guide? What's Smoky Backroom and GOP Club for? Stuff like that. Thank you dearly.

Yeah, I remember the scene. I just couldn't remember for sure which Police Academy movie. I knew it was one of the first 3 and I was kinda between 1 and 3.

[bad company]

There was enough retread troll on this thread to feed all of FR.

[sweetliberty]

"Methinks we might have a major retread invasion underway tonight."

Well, we was warned! Now we're DOOMED! Doomed, I tell you!

"A 400 pound troll only yields about 3 pounds of actual meat once you gut them and trim off all the fat."

And don't forget that you have to let the hot air of them first.....and man, does THAT smell bad!

My favorite.....

Lieutenant Thaddeus Harris: Son, where did you get that gun?
Cadet Eugene Tackleberry: [smiling proudly] My mum gave it to me.

[trussell]

I had to leave for a while...and when I get back I find out that all HE** broke loose!

[b4its2late]

Here one day.... gone the next.

[nopardons]

That serves ya right for leaving...LOL
<~p>
Massive troll invasion from DU on the thread. *sigh*

[hole_n_one]

That was probably true until you mentioned that fact. Look for a rash of DUers in the next few days to prove you wrong.

That's precisely why the COS was utilized.

Speaking of wine....who is the poster here that likes a good port wine?

You rang? Actually, I only have one major rule about choosing a port and one minor rule.

Taste it first. If you don't like how it tastes at 2 PM in the winery/store/boutique, you won't like it at 10 PM after dinner.

...oh yeah, avoid port touted with "notes of tobacco" - unless you like drinking Skøl-spit with your port...

[dirtboy]

Hm. I thought they were more potatoey starch than meat.

That's their brains.

[sweetliberty]

Oh, up north, eh? ;-) Actually, I don't even know where Springfield and Dumfries are, so I figure they must be up north, too.

[BibChr]

Still no explanation as to why they were axed? Weird.

[RushCrush]

Welcome to FR and good luck.
Speaking as a relative newcomer to FR, the oldies aren't always nice, but you can learn a lot.


Best wishes.

Looks like there was a DU troll invasion on this thread. Looks like one Gewittermädchen in Forum survived the evening, and three died by the ZOT.

This is a ping. If you want to draw the attention of a particular FReeper to a specific thread, just put their screen name up in the "To" section when you are posting a reply. The ping will then show up in that FReepers "New Posts to You." VOILA!

There are ping lists available for pro-lifers, dog lovers, horse lovers, Viking Kitties, zot squad, GenXers, Catholics, DU threads, South Park fans, families, pro-2A, you name it. Hope that helps and welcome to FR!

BTW--I pinged you to this thread because it seems to be trickling out, I'm not trying to be threatening!

Bye, SeanQuinn .

He/she/it's dead, Jim!
