Favorite FReepers...

Me. | April 9, 2004 | 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?????????????????

You will never know.

I am forbidden to: -- "ping, bump, freepmail, or make reference to XXXXXXXXX again."

I've lost count.. There are either three or four freepers that couldn't take the FR 'ring', and 86'd my comments.

Any mention of their names will get me banned.

So many FReepers to love, so little time, eh? :)

[Skooz]

Oh, I forgot Xenalyte and Bella_Bru.

Xenalyte has a wonderful, goofball sense of humor and a refreshing ability to not take this all so seriuously.

Bella is great as long as we aren't discussing religion. :0)

[spodefly]

spodefly is my favoritve poster of all time!

You are obviously a person of discriminating tastes. I compliment you on your wise choice.

But next time, check your spelling ... "favoritve" indeed.

Texas Termite: That lil' squirt won my heart, and all he had to do was just be himself

JohnHuang2: He's got such a way with words

Carlo3B: How many Italians want to cook Low Carb and it taste 100x better than cardboard?

Ms. Behavin and Fawnn: Who else can I discuss cooking with, and not laugh at me when I make an off the wall suggestion?

OhioWFan: She's willing to jump into any fray, and is inspired by her Warrior Son, who she worried over for the last year 'cause he was in Iraq?

And finally.....

WillieRoe: 'cause he is the best husband a lady could have!

Reading through all of these posts, I now remember some FReepers whose screennames have made me LOL:

Hillary's Lovely Legs

and

Revolting cat!

It's always fun to look through a thread for the sole purpose of reading screennames (and taglines).

[Maigrey]

And I forgot someone else special:

Azgopgal: Twinkie, who has grown by leaps and bounds in the last 2 years, as a person, and as a conservative.

[MEG33]

Truly.I am astounded at how many really favorite posters I left out!

[TheBigB]

And a big ol' thank you right back! :)

Lessee now, who else...

jigsaw, keeper of all things tagline...

rdb3 has an awesome FReeper home page (show 'em my motto!)

laz and registered are legends

rwp for his kind answering of some quantum physics questions

NYC GOP Chick and LG77, two more cooooool chicks!

[k2blader]

The first two that came to mind: Cicero and Sabertooth *always* have cogent things to say. And Protagoras' posts, for some good reason, amuse me.

[4mycountry]

JIGSAW!! How on earth did I forget that guy?!

Long Live Taglines!

[arasina]

It'd be so much easier to list the ones who are on my sheepdip list. :o)

[don-o]

And the sadness and emptiness they now feel crushes them like runaway freight train. The emptiness and meaninglessness of their life sweeps them into a vortex of despair.

I am going to assume this is not tongue in cheek; or a lame attempt at irony.

This thread is SO junior high school. Who is the "in crowd" and thus, by no mention, the rest of us are not?

Say again, my favorites are those who put their money where their mouth is. I notice the monthlies' names on the Freepathon thread. They are my favorites.

[TheBigB]

Oops, and CounterCounterCulture for the rasslin' ping list!

[ErnBatavia]

I am astounded at how many really favorite posters I left out!

I, too, really hesitated posting to this thread (altho I did a couple of times earlier) because, after all, we are a community of over 100,000.....who knows how many proliferate like you and a few hundred others, but there are JUST SO MANY to choose from...

f.Christian drank the designeduniverse Kool-aid along with goodseedhomeschool and the rest. He had to work very hard to overcome Jim's deep reluctance to ban him, but he finally managed it. He posts over at LibertyPost, if you're jonesin' for his stylistic whimsey.

[boxerblues]

lol I started back at the beginning and gave up trying to think of my favorites. The list would be so much shorter if I could list those I have on that imaginary ignore button

[k2blader]

I do miss f. Christian!

Illbay too, come to think of it.

[eddie willers]

I'm going to change my screenname to: Too Many To Mention.

[Valin]

Suck up! :-)
