On this day in 1933, Wiley Post touched down his airplane in New York, becoming the first pilot to fly solo around the globe!
On this day in 1934, Public Enemy #1, John Dillinger, was gunned down in the streets of Chicago.
And on this day in 2004, the one and only Dashing Dasher, after slamming down 4 martinis, signed up on FreeRepublic.
These historic events have much in common. Wiley Post was a brave pilot, risking life and limb in a rickety single engine plane. Dasher is FR's resident pilot racer, tormenting her male colleagues above the western fruited plains. A Calamity Jane in goggles!
And Dillinger was a notorious gang leader, surrounding himself with violent criminals and ne'er do wells. Dasher too has become a gang leader on FR. She has lead JimRob's beloved website into dark places that make the upstanding citizens here hide the women and children.
She is many other things as well, too numerous to list in full. But they include: Conservative infiltrator in liberal San Fran, Toughie NJ bodyguard for those who get harrassed, Unofficial FR Dominatrix (with a growing clientele), and most importantly, the subject of poems and limericks from her adoring fans.
So on this Friday, July 22, 2005, let's raise our glasses and offer a hearty toast to this east coast bred California girl, and thank her for settling down in our corner of the world!
Yeah, I see you up there. Put some pants on, will ya? ;-)
oops....
well my pants are somewhere around the pool and it's cooler to run around and swing from the ceiling without them on :)
Ooooooh, I want the purple one!
Congrats on your anniversary! You are definitely a favorite of mine as well!
I like DD cause she crashes certain threads.......with a flair beyond compare.......Keep them on their toes, it is quite entertaining........May you have many more years of causing trouble and stay safe in the air.......Mar
Happy Freepday to you,
Happy Freepday to you,
Happy Freepday dear Dasher,
Happy Freepday to you.
Singing "Muskrat Love" to each other...at the cooing part.
Apparently!!!

Dashing thought I was a neanderthal until realizing I was just a smart aleck woman.
That does look alot like her!
She can turn any thread into a playground!
Don't muskrats stink?
I still do think that! ;o)
Congratulations!
I can't call you "newbie" anymore, can I? :-)
Congratulations dasher, on spending an ungodly number of hours holed up in your house typing. It's a brand new world out there for those of us who think most people have kooties.
Here is a little something I thought you might enjoy.
You could have a fun "caption this picture" contest with with this picture. I'll guess a tow cable for some kind of airplane?
