A Few of FR's Finest....Every Day

Free Republic made its debut in September, 1996, and the forum was added in early 1997.   Over 100,000 people have registered for posting privileges on Free Republic, and the forum is read daily by tens of thousands of concerned citizens and patriots from all around the country and the world.

A Few of FR's Finest....Every Day was introduced on June 24, 2002. It's only a small room in JimRob's house where we can get to know one another a little better; salute and support our military and our leaders; pray for those in need; and congratulate those deserving. We strive to keep our threads entertaining, fun, and pleasing to look at, and often have guest writers contribute an essay, or a profile of another FReeper.

On Mondays please visit us to see photos of A FEW OF FR'S VETERANS AND ACTIVE MILITARY

If you have a suggestion, or an idea, or if there's a FReeper you would like to see featured, please drop one of us a note in FR mail.

We're having fun and hope you are!

"MA....He's touching me!!"

The cartoon above was inspired by a post I read last week on another thread. With all the crying that kerry is doing about the brave Swift Boat Vets speaking out, a FReeper named jamaly made the following comment:

"There should be editorial cartoons in every newspaper showing Kerry as a crybaby in diapers with a bonnet on, a bib around his neck, a rattler in his hand and great big tears rolling down his face. He should be sitting on Mama T's lap begging her to stop that mean President Bush! Man oh man, I wish I could draw!"

Though caricatures are not 'my thing', I took his suggestion, but it was easier without the bonnet, etc. ('besides, wouldn't want to muss up that hair. LOL)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The drawings below are 'my thing'. (Though it's been a few years since I did them and they've been posted many times, I just needed something else to fill this post!)  :)

Feel free to save and use any of the graphics. Have a Terrific Tuesday, and thanks for dropping in!

ROFLMAO!!!!!!!!!

I have made that very same mistake on numerous occassions myself!!!! And folks have made it about me.

Many a time a screen name gives absolutely no indication as to whether the poster is a he or a she.

[dutchess]

Hi sistah billie...now this is way too funny!!!! Absolutely perfect! And I always love looking at your beautiful drawings of GW, Laura and the Cheneys.

[jamaly]

I have always wondered if my fellow Freepers thought I was a black man, like Malcolm Jamal Warner(?) from The Cosby Show. But, no I am just an old, fat grandma and happy to have twin grandsons who think I am beautiful.

Billie, your work is professional quality do you do this type of work for a living?

[Gabz]

A FReeper FRiend of mine and I used to privately ROFL at all the flirting that would go on during one of the FRiday chat threads...........She posted with a man's name and all the FReeperettes would flirt with her. She was very good at the act - never doing it to be deceptive, she was just going along with it as a game and over time many other FReepers got to know that the screen name happened to be a nom de plume she used in some of her activism work.

The interesting thing was that when she passed away earlier this year and I posted a thread about her - it was primarily the male Freepers that were unaware that she was not a he. The gals that knew, including me, had all continued with the game of flirting......

LOL! I wouldn't have known for sure either. It's tough, unless you use a screen name like Jane or John or something! Even my name (though anyone from the south or southwest KNOWS the way I spell it is a girl Billie) is confusing to some, I understand. LOL

[Billie]

Thank you, sweet sistah d! 'preciate that!

Giz have his vacation write up done yet? :)

[jamaly]

RTFL, I had assumed you were a guy, even though I had a sister names Billie Jean.

[ST.LOUIE1]

Morning, BillieBlue! Really neat thread today. : )

Oh, shove it,crybaby.

LOL!Love your drawing!

I'll be back later. : )

[Billie]

Billie, your work is professional quality do you do this type of work for a living?

Thank you, jamaly. I used to do a bit of contract/consignment work, but really am not interested in committing myself anymore. As you may have noticed even here, the latest date of any of the drawings is 2001. It's fun, and enjoyable, and the only way I want to do it now is if the spirit moves me (or a FReeper motivates me somehow.) LOL!
