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?????????????????

I just got pinged here. What's going on.....I'm busy trying to be in a coma.

[alnick]

I have lots of favorites, but Dr. Silverback's Caption-a-Rama posts are great fun.

[lavrenti]

My favorites are F16Fighter for the hilarity; NYC GOP Chick for alternating between intellectual thoughtfulness and coffee-spewing wit; Registered for being Registered; Howlin for her tendency to cut to the matter; Travis McGee, Pukin Dog, Dog and of course, Hillary's Lovely Legs.

[Howlin]

I always love your threads; you find the best stuff.

And I forgot mountaineer. I never fail to read the stuff she posts; it floors me where she finds those scoops!

[mabelkitty]

TBLSHOW went after me my first day posting, and pinged me that you know who was the anti-Christ.

Howlin and PhiKap came to my rescue, as did a nice Freeper who I can no longer remember who told where not to stray (I've remembered and kept your advise, my friend).

Boxerblues, who I actually know and adore ; )
Miss Marple knows a lot, so I stalk her on the smart threads to try and learn (really).
Fedora, Hon, and American in Tokyo for their most awesome investigations. I know there are some other investigators, but I can't remember right now. No snub intended.

GraniteState knocked me out with the Dick and Jane rant cartoon - I'm still laughing!

[Dales]

Thank you both very much :-)

[Howlin]

The Beloved Deb.

I feel like genuflecting when I read that; my heroine!

As for that crack about how many threads, I'm on.....well, I'll get you for that. :-)

[MeekOneGOP]

LOL ! I know. Sorry 'bout that ! I hit the button and asked if they could NUKE that second (double) ping!

[in the Arena]

I like that FReeper named bang_list, but he never replies to my posts :O)

[xJones]

#6: suckup.

All right, I vote for me!:D

[I got the rope]

That SOB is still here. LOL! I KNEW YOU COULDN'T STAY AWAY PETE.

He probably called you a "Bush-BOT". Didn't he?

[Dog]

Thank you for the mention....you are a good person...:-)

[Howlin]

Well, I am truly touched; I am always floored when somebody thinks I'm doing something RIGHT.......LOL. (Going downstairs to tell my family!)

[xJones]

Not to mention that I am a PROUD Bush Bot and nearly always agree with JR.

Big time suckup, but I'll still vote for you.

And (drum roll.......) trussell!

[HairOfTheDog]

So.... regarding 297.... I was pinged to it. Am I the favorite freeper of a banned troll?

How am I supposed to feel about that? ;~D

[Howlin]

I swear, Dog, I know you must have an AP ticker at your house; you get that breaking news faster than anybody I've ever seen!

[mikenola]

Thanks for the ping.

I'll put down the participants of the FR economics threads. FITZ and WillieGreen, although I don't agree with them often, are interesting thinkers. Probably some of the most level-headed discussion of FR.

Diogenesis also, his/her/it's threads are some fine journalism.

Also Dales, for some true yeomans work on the election polls scenarios. Gonna be an interesting November!

[dakine]

Just reading this thread is a "blast from the past", some of these names I haven't thought of in years...

Wasn't MadIvan that guy from England?

[4mycountry]

So you're (Unknown)?

Having an identity crisis, are we? ;)

[Marine Inspector]

Thank you.
