IMPORTANT NOTICE

Jim Robinson has received notice for the legal firm representing the USO.
They are demanding that Free Republic discontinue using "USO" or "USO Canteen"
on Free Republic and remove all references to the "USO" trademark, logos, etc, from Free Republic.

I have been in touch with Jim and this is what we have come up with.

"Free Republic Canteen" is acceptable.
"FReeper Canteen" in the title of the thread and "FR Canteen" in the small graphics and banners.

Nothing has changed with the the Canteen EXCEPT for the "new graphics"
AND we can now "discuss" politics.
As you recall the USO forbids political discussions.

I do ask that we keep the politics to a minimum since the purpose of the FR Canteen is:

FR CANTEEN MISSION STATEMENT
Showing support and boosting the morale of
our military and our allies military
and the family members of the above.
Honoring those who have served before.

You have GOT to be kidding!

[SAMWolf]

So then this isn't the "Official Canteen" thread for the day. I thought it was the name change announcement thread.

[Radix]

Good night Snippy. I hold no personal animosity toward you. That is the truth. I just care about the Canteen, and our Troops. I wish you and Sam well in your endeavors.

Sam, you are simply wrong about SnowBunny.

Lets just let the matter go, I am sorry that I brought it up.

[Fawnn]

Excuse_My_Bellicosity!!! #50!!!
Radix!!! #150!!!
Me!!! #200!!!

[Old Sarge]

I need a Mountain Dew. Got one for MoJo?

How about one of Mine, dear?

[SAMWolf]

Agreed, we'll never see eye to eye on that Novemeber. I believe you're the one who is wrong about Bunny. Better we just drop it. I'll go back to my history and you have fun back at the Canteen.

[snippy_about_it]

Have you left yet? ;)

This isn't the Canteen thread, today's thread is about Dolphins. I don't post on the Canteen's daily thread. :)

Good night Snippy. I hold no personal animosity toward you. That is the truth.

I know that Radix. You and I have exchanged a few personal emails and freepmails.

You know I prayed for your son and you. I think we know each other and where our hearts lie and what our tempers are. Goodnight. I'll see you around other places much calmer.

[Jim Robinson]

Ok, everyone, time for a sing-a-long:


I Love FR (I Love This Bar)

We got winners, we got losers
Chain smokers and boozers
And we got yuppies, we got bikers
We got thirsty hitchhikers
And the girls next door dress up like movie stars

Hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, I love FR

We got cowboys, we got truckers
Broken-hearted fools and suckers
And we got hustlers, we got fighters
Early birds and all-nighters
And the veterans talk about their battle scars

Hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm I love FR

[Chorus:]
I love FR
It's my kind of place
Just clickin' through the front page
Puts a big smile on my face
It ain't too far, come as you are
Hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm I love FR

I've seen short skirts, we got high-techs
Blue-collar boys and rednecks
And we got lovers, lots of lookers
And I've even seen dancing girls and hookers
And we like to drink our beer from a mason jar

Hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm I love FR
O, Yes I do

I like my truck (I like my truck)
I like my girlfriend (I like my girlfriend)
I like to take her out to dinner
I like a movie now and then

But I love FR
It's my kind of place
Just scrollin' around the Canteen
Puts a big smile on my face
No cover charge, come as you are
Hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm I love FR
Hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm I just love this old FR

That is where I think the misunderstanding is. This is the new thread for the day. Tonk asked us to post here instead of over there... Perhaps you did not get those messages...... Can we then agree to part on good terms and get back to what we think is really important?

[snippy_about_it]

See 208 and 209, we made up. :-)

I love FR.

[snippy_about_it]

No, we were sure the daily was about Dolphins. We had no idea there were two threads today. Radix and I have exchanged our good nights, good night to the rest of you.

[Fawnn]

This isn't the Canteen thread, today's thread is about Dolphins. I don't post on the Canteen's daily thread. :)

I guess there's all kinds of hair-splitting going on here. Based on Tonk's request in the earlier thread, it was my understanding that this place IS NOW the Canteen:

The Canteen I support is a place where we support our troops. Petty disagreements should be handled in private, imo. But, I don't make the rules -- and I don't know you from Adam, so whatever....

I do know and respect Tonk, so when requested, I moved here and accepted it as the Canteen.

[SAMWolf]

That is where I think the misunderstanding is. This is the new thread for the day.

Sorry, I wasn't aware this was the new Canteen thread for the day. I'm not in the loop anymore. I didn't mean to post on an Daily Canteen thread.

[Indy Pendance]

Thank you. I know it means a lot to my kids. I tell them about FR all the time.

[snippy_about_it]

You can give it a rest now too or do you want to continue this? We don't visit the canteen so we wouldn't know, this was an announcement an Important notice. Didn't look like a title for the thread. Done now. I'd like go.

[Excuse_My_Bellicosity]

Wow, great graphic! Thanks!

[SAMWolf]

Sorry Fawnn I didn't see that post. I just saw this thread pop up on my sidebar.

What the Hey?

Well, I have one thing only to say.

This is last time I go off and tend to a dying family member.

Good night, all...I'll see you tomorrow. I hope.
