Favorite FReepers...

[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?????????????????

Not me??

For starters:

Lurker (anybody who likes science fiction is okay in my book)

Travis (Matt) (nice to see a FReeper grab the spotlight with a novel)

Marine Inspector (always too the point)

Dog Gone (common sense and cool headed)

SamWOLF (liked him ever since I read his FR bio)

Quid(Cdn)nunc (likes to stir the pot, but he's ok)

CaptCrunch (represents the best of what being a LEO is about)

Albertabound (you would have made a good jumper, since you don't give up)

Archie (always enjoy reading his posts)

Jim Robinson (A man with a vision)

[Revolting cat!]

classygreeneyedblonde, of course!

I like all the voices in my head except that one that shouts and argues about everything.

[Long Cut]

Hehe. Thanks for dropping in! Who's YOUR favorite punching bag?

[Renfield]

Now, we're talking about the far upper end of the bell curve here, so it's a good group all around, but I particularly appreciate the freepers from other countries....Shaggy Eel, Dr. Zin, Michael81dus, BogdanPolska, etc, etc....their perspectives are fascinating. God willing, some day I will get to meet some of them.

[NewLand]

Too many great FReepers to choose from...doug from upland, MeekOneGOP (former Meek-N-Ming), but this post sticks out in my mind as one that entertained many of us...and may need to be revived in time for the November election...

McGavin999 Addresses The Nation

And of course, there is always this award winning classic...

NewLand Rants In Support of President Reagan

[HiJinx]

Wow...where do you start? There are so many FReepers whose names either guarantee a worthwhile thread or are simply great people to talk with.

And there's just no way you can pass by a thread featuring Texas Cowboy or the Texas Termite. Little Logan, our FR Miracle Boy, has brought so many people together. Thanks, TC!

If I've left off anyone who thought they were my favorite FReeper, don't worry. You're not. No, wait, that's not what I meant...ummmm....you are, it's just that...ummm...time...no...senility...yeah, that's the ticket, I'm gettin' senile.

Don't worry Ma, you'll always be at or near the top of my list!!!

[4mycountry]

Why thank you, B!

[mystery-ak]

Thank you....I can never re-pay all the prayers said on Mike's behalf by Freepers.

[eddie willers]

Too many to mention, but suffice it to say, if I'm on your ping list...you're one.

I'd mention Howlin and mhking but, heck, you'd be hard pressed to miss a thread they're on. :o)

Since you're opening paragraph stated...

"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..."

...two of my MUST read are AnAmericanMother and The Beloved Deb.

I almost forgot MadIvan, too. (London) I don't think he's been around for awhile.

[freedumb2003]

f.christian

Ahh yes -- he and I went a few rounds until I told him to speak english instead of that wierd flowchart language he used. I remember someone did a GREAT impression of him one time -- everyone on the thread cracked up and he took off in a huff.

How did he get banned?

Very kind of you to think of me as the "ringleader" of such a splendid bunch; but I'm really more their clerk. I maintain the ping list, and I have a formidable stock of useful links. But others have links too, and when it comes to the nuts and bolts of science, I leave the heavy lifting to the experts.
