I have done this semi yearly thread before and I would now like some additional comments from my fellow Freepers on this. If you have visited the past threads please post what you remember or what you have posted. If you are new to the thread please continue the list. Its always fun. :) Please keep it light hearted. We are talking about are Freeperism's. K?
1. You know you are a Freeper when you can tell your spouse or friends what the news is like all over the world but you cant recall any recent news happenings in your home town.
2. You havent seen the sun in so that long you are hoping that the monitor will give you a neon glow tan. Monitor tans aren't wrong right? LOL.
3. When you say that you are setting the table for three...that means you, the mouse, and Freepers.
4. When you polish the silver it isnt about your grandmothers plates....get out the .45.....we dont need alarm systems.
5. Your spouse wakes up and tells you the recent news, and you had posted it three days ago.
6. You use your local newspaper to start your fire
7. When you and your spouse argue it comes out "deleted by moderator".
8. You spell check your childrens school papers and find yourself crossing out Hillary and putting in "Hitlery".
9. You can't sleep until you have argued, re-argued and then pinged your friends. We all have our priorities.
10. Relatives come over and wonder why you have photo shopped President Bush into your family photos.
11. You didnt go to your company Christmas party because you had some Freeping to do.
12. You no longer know the names of your family. You just pick FR screen names and hope they get the Freep mail.
13. You call out your spouses Freeper screen name in the heat of passion and he runs to check his freep mail. You never know what he might of missed.
14. You sing the star spangled banner to your kids, forget the lullaby.
I usually need a shower after a foray at the DU. I do not go there anymore. It started taking away IQ points while I was there.
Damn, that's big. Thanks.
Or throwing them at you.
LOL!
You know you are a FReeper when...
Someone says "UNNNNGH!" and you unnderstand what they meant.
You know what the typo virus is, and secretly plan to spread it to all.
Led Zepplin starts playing in your head when you watch the evening news, complete with Viking Kitties dancing around the newsidiots.
You got it bad when you ping your kids for dinner.
I've tried "zotting" my kids!
I dont usually ping much anymore. But I thought you may like to join in the fun! :)
My wife and in-laws try all the time to scoop me on big stories. FR is the best source of news on the web!
hmmm
Yup.
Sanitation may get sanitized sooner than later.
So I do smell something.
I guess that makes me some kind of newbie...oh, the horror!
About time! ;-)
--you follow a live thread instead of watching tv.
--you don't see a movie until you know what other (more adventurous)FReepers have to say about it.
I know!
And there are times I am watching the news and wish for teh kitties to be nodding and waving their weaponson either side of the newsies.
It makes my day to see the kitties.
Guilty on 1,8 and 9 *LOL* When they read the Jackson verdict I was at work without my laptop. I called up petronski and had him read me thread comments hehehehe.
