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

Oh, and then there's DarkWing and Thud. DarkWing pings, Thud posts. Whazzup widdat?

Mitchell, who are these people?

ciexyz -- I'm on the other side of the Specter Toomey race with her, but, gosh darn it, you've got to admire her pluck!

Flattery will NOT buy my vote for Toomey, but thanks anyway for the backhanded compliment.

:-D

Let me put it this way: As the antithesis of a Bush-bot, you are highly refreshing.

[Howlin]

Howlin for her tendency to cut to the matter

What EVER do you mean? *Blink, Blink, Blink*? :-)

[Mr. Mojo]

I make a point to read certain Freepers regularly, but perhaps my favorite is a guy who doesn't post much anymore -- Southern Federalist.

[Howlin]

I believe that was justshe.

"Dr. Scarpetta- Who I only realized a short while ago was not a Doctor with the last name of Scarpetta.
"Owl_Eagle,That's funny :) I thought he was a Doctor too.

[PatrickHenry]

Don't get me started. He was number one on the DesignedUniverse hit list, too. There is no justice!

What's the problem? Everything seems just right from my point of view.

[Pippin]

I have so many favirte freepers but you are definately on that list!:O)

[Howlin]

You're one of my favorites; a man of few words with such an impact.

Thank you for the good thought. It is much appreciated. There are so many excellent FReepers, I am reluctant to list my favorites because some would be left out. I have made some great friends in the years I've been on FR and look forward to making many more in the future. I appreciate all the FReepers who make this such a unique and special place to be and who contribute their knowledge and talents to the forum.

Ping. Y'all know who you are.

[arasina]

Did anyone mention ConspiracyGuy yet? I love his witty ditties! :o)

[Domestic Church]

What comes around goes around ;)

And of course, I'd have to list you as well for all the great local and regional updates!

And I'd list Ninenot, Askel5, Calpernia, Swarthyguy, AmericanInTokyo, Blam, Backhoe, Kattracks, Siobhan, NYer, Black Elk...

Heck, I might as well just say all freepers past and present but I do have two oldie favorites...Coyote and History Matters!

Oh, so refreshing, like lemonade or sumpthin?

Wanna argue about something? LOL I love to argue ya know,,,

[TaxRelief]

The most creative FReeper!

[arasina]

ROFL! I forgot hole_n_one too. OMG that's hilarious!

[NYC Republican]

Freepers are the most insightful, creative, intellectually honest bunch of people (you all know that already, I know) I've ever met... Choosing a couple out of the hundreds that I admire is difficult...

I'll only pick two, and make it clear that there are hundreds of others that can easily be added to the list as well...

I've lost countless hundreds of work hours during the past couple of years cause of FR, and I've enjoyed nearly every minute - working on Wall St. makes it tough but having an office, where others can't really see what I'm surfing - I LOOK busy, usually that fools enough of the people most of the time...

Southack - for his unbelievable insight, optimism, perspective, political savvy, historical knowledge, etc etc etc...

Howlin- for (seemingly) being on every single thread, especially the live threads. She must NOT have a life (;-) so the least we can do is honor her with this award! Just teasing Howlin, you're great.
