To: RonDog
I posted that earlier but I made up a title cause I couldn't remember the correct one.
Do you remember the tread about the shooting of a LEO in Red Bluff Ca in which a FReeper was contacted during the posts with a lead to the killer? It was about a year ago. His nic had Wright in it I believe..

We pray it never does MoMaw, but there are so many good links, research and the effort of Freepers to keep up on being ahead of the game, it is invaluable.

Hillary to Troops: Support for You is Fading. Good! I was looking to see if the subject thread had been added to the Hall of Fame.
To: HighWheeler
I scanned through rather quickly, but didn't notice "Ignore this message" that must have gone over a thou.

Thanks, I think that was a good one.
To: seamole
I never understood what harm was done by him/her. I could give a rat's ass whether a FReeper is a transexual or whatever the case was. Looking at her regular political posts, they seemed fine for the forum.

I would like to know where the "Moose bit my sister" thread first popped up.
From:
Vanity post - can anyone explain the moose and cheese thing?
Posted on 02/07/2002 9:50 AM PST by ko_kyi
I don't get it.
If it is a big secret then please respond privately.

To: SunnyUsa; ko_kyi
The cheese connection is related to a tendency of a Freeper (I think it's Laz but I'm not sure) to post "I like cheese" on inane threads -- especially vanities -- or in reply to whining -- especially opus threads of whiners explaining why they are leaving FR. (Sort of like the idea of 'Here's some cheese to go with that whine.')
From there, the cheese references just grew and now will appear in almost any thread that gets boring just to liven things up. A reposting of the infamous Monty Python "Cheese Sketch" is sort of mandatory by unwritten rule.
The moose references are sort of the same thing. I don't know if anyone else started it before me, but I began posting the "A moose once bit my sister" subtitle sequence from the opening credits of Monty Python and the Holy Grail on threads that otherwise didn't make much sense probably in the same vein as the "I like cheese" replies. It was sort of a mockery of comments on threads that were not fit for anything but injecting some humor. Also, from time to time people post articles about Moose sitings or Moose accidents or strange Moose happenings. Anytime a thread is posted with Moose in the headline it is just an invitation for someone to post the moose bit my sister humor. After a while, the two kind of merged so that anytime you see a cheese thread the moose shows up and vice versa.
Now that you know all that, here are the subtitles from the opening credits of Monty Python and the Holy Grail...

And, from the opening credits of
"Monty Python and the Holy Grail" (1974):
"Wi nøt trei a høliday in Sweden this yër ?
See the løveli lakes
The wøndërful telephøne system
And mäni interesting furry animals
Including the majestik møøse
A Møøse once bit my sister..."
