Favorite FReepers...

Me. | April 9, 2004 | Long Cut

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

It's nice to get a shout out from Meek and The Mayor and such.

But I am sure I am not well liked here because of my abrasiveness. I am not here to make any apologies, however. I am very passionate about some things and if that bothers you, I could care less.

But I digress.

I give a shout back out to Meek and The Mayor, and also some people I have a fondness for:

Flyer
PetroniDE
Humblegunner
Ms. Antifeminazi
Allegra
Scripter
Longtermemmory
Registered
JimRob
Doctor Raoul
and in loving memory...
Barbara Olson
and
FDNY's John Moran

I haven't forgotten...and I never will.

[Senator Pardek]

For The Record - It was in January, and it gets real cold here in NY. 'nuff said.

[Mad Dawgg]

Hmmm Ok,

Hairofthedog

Texas Dawg

Hillary's Lovely Legs

Poohbah

and of Course Lazamataz

And many others I have forgotten to mention due to the fact I am on my third Long Island Iced tea (made in a real pilsner glass)

(And yes Poohbah I still want my pony!!!!)

[F.J. Mitchell]

Now those not only spur the imagination-but cause palpitations among the more elderly statesmen among us.

[Howlin]

I had to convince them I was a Clinton supporter.

This is you?

[eddie willers]

Wow!....I'm changing my vote!

[aloysius89]

I had to chime in. I am not here enough to be a favorite but I am proud to have received an occasional reply from some of the faves listed here. My faves are all the folks who hung out in the situation room last spring.

Howlin
texkat
soldier's girl
retrokitten
dollycali
Michael81dus

and everyone else who worried and prayed and watched the bagcam with us.

[xJones]

We're doing group hugs, Louie, some sort of therapy I suppose, and it would be a crime to leave out General Le Frogge.:)

[Travis McGee]

Spodefly, you are a true gentleman.

[neutrino]

A favorite FReeper ping to all of you, the brave band fighting against the blind adherents of free trade.

Best wishes, and a Joyous Easter!

[Howlin]

I miss your dad, too. :-(

[Petronski]

I'm just thrilled and proud just to be nominated in such an esteemed group:

;O)

I read the entire thread, and I don't know if I feel competent to supply a complete list, but I'll try to be as inclusive as I can [in no particular order]

Lazamataz: just great
Registered: "Sore Loserman" makes him the greatest
BlackElk: a depth of knowlege and skill with language which astounds me
onyx: the most generous and caring Freeper I have ever met
martin_fierro: damn twisted and downright subversive humor
JohnHuang2: posting machine
Kattracks: ditto (how do you two do it?)
American in Tokyo and American in Israel: on the scene bluntness
Howlin: grand dame of the ping list
Alouette: gentle to friends, warrior-like to enemies, and great with photoshop
SJackson: he will provide whatever you need to know about Israel and her enemies
MadIvan: come back, dude
Section9: except for the graphic, freaking brilliant and spot on
classygreeneyedblonde: You fooled me...kudos
mkking: Just Damn!
doug from upland: how do you ever find the time and resources?
Physicist: abundant wisdom and the gift to convey it to my liberal-arts mind
John H K: resident skeptic/curmudgeon; always throwing water on the fires of the drama queens
Dan from Michigan: my prolife hero
Liz: love the 'death of Disney' threads
bogdan_polska: best new guy in years



I've been here long enough to forget more favorites than I remember, but that's why I can't resist coming back again and again.



BEST OF ALL: Jim and John Robinson....what a fantastic dream, made true...Epic. Fabulous. Thanks.

Dude! I think I'm the favorite FReeper of a banned troll! It's the first time I've ever gotten to a party AFTER the cops showed up......of course, I HAVE HAD a lot of wine to drink tonight......
and, the bottle's still young......

[Howlin]

You're one of *my* favorite posters, regardless of where you're posting. :-)

[Howlin]

Wait a damn minute! Turncoat!

[ClintonBeGone]

poohbah: Pooh is an amazing clear-thinker untainted by too much zealous ideology. Frequently his posts are a welcome breath of sanity on emotionally overheated threads, and he's not afraid to voice an opinion which might be counter to the "prevailing winds" of a thread.

Pooh is da man, along with RS, Nopardons,PJ Howlin, summer and Luis. All my favorite Freepers.

[hispanarepublicana]

Cheers to 3 of my favorites.

[The Mayor]

Thanks Houmatt

[Senator Pardek]

Actually - I kinda look like that.

[Tribune7]

can't leave you off either, tallhappy.
