Favorite FReepers...
Me. | April 9, 2004 | Long Cut

Posted on 04/09/2004 2:37:38 PM PDT by Long Cut

We've all done it. You've just gotten home, logged on to FR, and are scrolling down the "Latest Posts" page, deciding which thread will get your attention this evening, when THAT SCREENNAME jumps out at you in a "to" or "from" position. You are powerless to resist; if THAT GUY's there, it's gonna be a good thread...

All of us have our own "favorites" among the many colorful souls who congregate at this fine website. They could be someone you disagree totally with, agree completely with, or somewhere in between. They might be a fount of useful information, links, and facts. Our favorite might be devastating at the art of debate; demolishing opponents in truly unique style, or he might be just plain nuttier than squirrel dung, but fun nonetheless.

Perhaps your favorite FReeper has a way with words; an excellent writer. Maybe they are someone highly experienced in a particular field, with knowledge that many do not posess. Maybe they're dumber than a bag of hammers.

Point is, no matter what the reason, our "favorite FReepers"' handle attached to a thread makes it all the more interesting to us; it guarantees a wild ride or sublime pleasure in the reading and learning. It may also guarantee an increase in blood pressure and indigestion, but one thing's for sure...that thread HE's on is gonna get a hit or two, and it won't be boring.

I've got more than a few of my own, and I'm sure all of you do as well. WHO'S YOURS?????????????????

I nominate these three for their devotion to making sure I am both entertained and informed at 5 AM before I've had coffee.

You know, it occurs to me that quite a few people are going to see their monikers on this thread and have their weekend made for them.

I still select threads according to topic--reading most threads most of the time--at least for a page or more.

But if I'm scrolling through a long thread, certainly I pay attention to some favorites--such as those listed by many.

Hillary's Lovely Legs also comes to mind, for two reasons:
1)Free Republic's absolute best screen name.
2)Her world class FReep of HRC at the book signing.

Oh, GREAT ones! Those guys, and a few others, basically start up the FR machine every morning. It must take them collective hours to post as many threads as they do.

redlipstick, you are not just my best freeper friend, but best friend, period. Wouldn't have met without FR. And what was funny was when we met in real life I and my family had flown many thousands of miles and we met up later at night and had to pry our husbands apart as they hit it off, too!

So many good posters keeping on top of stories, that as Howlin often points out, by the time the news channels are discussing it, it seems like "old news" to us!

Ask anyone of those gentlemen. They can 'splain about "TOOTS".

Thanks. My favorite freeper is gwb and gop man because we met helping Terri in the fall. He gave me a scanner for my birthday and I gave him a karaoke machine for his birthday.

I guess Terri should be an honorary Freeper for bringing us all together.

Although, I must admit, your moniker spurs the imagination.........

It was a compromise between "EducatedbyNuns" and "NatalieWood2."

I tried, but I just couldn't do it; it's too hard to narrow it down; I even looked at the Live Thread ping list and realized that I *look* at almost all of their posts when I see them!

I'd leave out some of them, so I'm not going to list them all of them, but for posted threads it would be:

ambrose
backhoe
JohnHuang2
kattracks
JeanS
Southhack
Pokey78
Dales
Dog
mhking
Ragtime Cowgirl
null and void
JustAmy
Utah Girl
blam
Ernest_at_the_beach
Libloather
Liz

See, it's too many to list!

For research, nobody beats kcvl and all the crew from the War threads!

Of course, we cannot FAIL to mention backhoe, Keeper of the Lists!

And The Dose, all the trial posters.....see, I cannot do it.

I love you all, even the ones I don't like. :-)

I'm seeing so many on your list that I forgot...it is hard to remember everyone.
