Walk down memory lane when there's nothing in the news

Pink said to me recently, we've come a long way. So that set me reminiscing...
Who among us can forget that day in January when Girlene asked to be added to the Haditha Marine Ping List?
Or when lilycicero wondered what "ping" and "BTTT" meant (but hoped they were crude)?
Or when pinkpanther111 showed up and helped us find biographical material, or when she spread the word about the defense fund here and here?
All that got me thinking about some of our "firsts".
Like the first defense fund thread.
And the first posts by Darryl, Theresa (on our totally fun "A Haditha Marine Father Has a Question for Alan Colmes" thread), and Mrs W.
So I agree with pink (want to see her first post ever?), we have come a long way. And it's about time we said so! Also, with the SSgt Wuterich hearing coming up, I figured we could use a thread to just hang out when nothing else is happening. It beats FRmail--which sometimes gets a little hard to follow.
So here's to us and to seeing an end to this job we started!

Do you have any other "favorite firsts" or just plain "favorite favorites"? List 'em here!
This thread is also a place for Girlene's knock-knock jokes which are VERY hard to do via FRmail!
Your chum,
RedRover

Where did I say hope? That’s right, all these legal lessons you are handing out for free are working against ya.
I said, “I could appreciate crude” which meant, I won’t be offended, he who posts women in bikinis and earmuffs.

Ok, being real now. Red, you are cherished and I am so lucky to have “met” you. I know others find comfort in your words and advice.
Your best moment was seeing John Bolton on the street! That was cool.

I’m proud to be among the creators of the comment “Thailand?!” as one of the first people to comment on the first Mark Karr thread.

And I’m proud that I saw your post just after you posted it.
I may have been the first to laugh.

How about when we first found out the motorcycle run by Don Dinsmore was being read about in Iraq while it was happening?
here. Or the travel trivia challenge by Lilycicero to RedRover to send $100 to Frank Wuterich's defense fund
here. And on that same thread how many posts (from
post #126 to
here ) and helpers it took to lead RedRover to the right answer. Finally!

Oh, “keep the tip” was the punchline! I thought you were just offering some random advice.
And the double posts? They’re your fault. I was bouncing around to “Atomic Dog”.
