Tips on how to be a good "FReeper"
self ^ | 26 Dec, 2007 | Self

It seems to me that we are getting a lot of new members and the following may be helpful to them.

Live in a solid "red" state and when anybody complains about some asinine law in their blue state, tell them to "just move from there". The simplistic solution is always the best one. Refer to California as Californicate or Kalifornia. The people's republic of (insert state name here) is always good.

When an article appears about something negative happening in public schools, proudly proclaim that all your kids are home schooled and geniuses to boot. Extra points if you also state "Publik educashun suks" extra, extra points if you put "home school" in caps and add a few exclamination points.

Any article posted about guns being used in a crime, be sure to ask what caliber gun was used and berate the author for leaving out that very relevant fact. If the good guy shot at the bad guy and missed, tell everybody that he needs more range time. Helpful also to mention what an excellent marksman you are. Post a picture of one of your guns for extra points.

When an article about those deceptive credit card companies is posted, post a reply stating one of the following, "I don't have a credit card and never will", or "I have credit cards but pay all balances if full every month", extra points if yours is the first reply on the matter. If you can squeeze it in there, also let folks know that you don't own a television set anymore and haven't since 1967. If you can't get that in, you'll just have to wait for a thread about the MSM to post it. Don't even hint at the fact that most articles posted here are from the MSM.

A "noob" or "Newbie" is a member who has been here one day less than you have, an old timer has been here at least one day longer. Noobs opinions don't mean very much because they all started forming their political philosophies the day they signed up here.

Become adept at using these terms, Noobie, troll, DUer, idiot, bigot, moron (preferred spelling - "maroon"), IBTZ etc.

Join one or more of the following as soon as possible, Spelling police, grammar police, thread police. Extra points if you join all three

I'm not fully coffeed up yet,am I logged in? Any helpful suggestions or additions are welcome.

I’m surprised I didn’t post on that one. I blew out a tv with my shotgun about that time in 2000.

Was fun. I posted as an open invitation to wisecracks and was not disappointed.

That has to be one of my favorite posts of all time. I was only a lurker at that time, but boy was that fun!!!

Another one, (which I can't find) was the time after the 2002 elections that someone from here took over DU with "All Your Senate Belong To Us" or something like that.

Thanks for the memory!!!!
