Personally, I realized that this World Wide Web thingamajig has other sites on it. Then I realized that I have legs. I then realized that there is a world outside.
Strange world that is. I'm not going back. </ sarcasm>

I discovered a woman in my bed. It might be my wife, but I don't really remember what she looks like.

I discovered FR is as addictive as nicotine. I kept checking the site every 4 or 5 minutes. It was terrible.
To: Texaggie79
I discovered true addiction and disruption to my nightly sufing activities.

To: seeker41
I actually sat, looking directly at the television(not over my shoulder inbetween posts) and watched the Yankees knock off the Mariners in Game II!
It was a beautiful thing!
To: Texaggie79
Hey, I finally met my kids.
My wife's doing a smashing job raising them, really.
Except the youngest doesn't really look like me.

I thought about how they could make baseball more interesting, by letting the batter carry the bat with him, to try and gain bases, and you could put the basemen in pads, to try to defend themselves....ok, I stole that idea from Cracked magazine..but everytime I'm forced to watch baseball, I think that BaseBrawl would be better.

I went over to Lucianne.com and discovered how they must be more intelligent posters in that more of them agreed with my assessment that the House of Reps were cowards than did on FR
Then I wondered why this was.
Then I wondered if Newt Gingrich would have ever shut down the House under these circumstances.
Then I actually tried to register at L.com and did the whole thing, hit enter, and got an error message.
Then I tried to remember about the note about being down from 1 am to something. Then I wondered what the hell time it was in California, even what day.
Then, God forgive me, I went and read the entire Washington Post Online. Even read Richard Cohen and marveled that he seems to be getting more conservative every day. My husband rants and rails about Cohen every time he reads the man so much so that I dread when Coehn writes one of his kooky missives that will cause my husband to come home in a bad mood.
It was interesting.

"I think that BaseBrawl would be better."
Intentional beaning by the defense should also be allowed as an alternate means of outing a base runner...
The batter's head should be included as part of the strike zone...
The, "designated hitter," should have a last name like, "Gravano."
To: Texaggie79
I always look forward to my dose of FR after a long evening shift...just to wind down and catch up on the days events. Tonight I discovered how long I can sit in front of an error message ....refreshing the browser every few seconds. *chuckle* I am HOOKED!!! Is there a cure?
To: Texaggie79
I discovered that, yes, there ARE a few other conservative forums on the web, but none are as easy to read and navigate as FR...all the while, clicking heels together and repeating, "There's no place like home...There's no place like home..."

Saw some pics of some VERY cool new Zion guitars; really great flame tops, etc., etc. A bud has an older one, but it leaves me cold.......THESE look fine. Kramer has an el-cheapo but cool double-neck: acoustic and electric 6-strings. Could be interesting; only $600. Crappy reviews of new guitar processors, but some intriguing ones out, nonetheless. Damned if I don't still really want a Paul Reed Smith, though...........
To: Centurion2000
No, it's all instrumental.
To: Centurion2000; Texaggie79
Or, if you mean the guitar anthem from "Top Gun", it was Steve Stevens - hell of a guitar player, used to play for Billy Idol, IIRC.

I love the intellectual discussions on the Yahoo back-up site....
“FR must be down.”
“Yep, it’s down.”
“I wonder why it’s down?”
“I don’t know, but it’s down.”
“Is FR down?”
“I don’t know, I’ll check.”
“Yep, it’s down.”
“I wonder why it’s down?”
“Notice to everyone: FR is down..... Johnrob”
“Hey! I can get on to FR!!! Are we being attacked???”
“No, there’s been no attack. The flux capacitor loop in Elco Nevada lost synch and the rerouter is sending our signal through Siberia where it’s being blocked by a Unex fliper signal blocker and a bad ISP intergalactic link with the Op Sat that serves the Detroit time-base corrector. We’ll have it fixed in a minute.... Johnrob”

I sold my used Les Paul Standard when I was short on $ at the age of 21 (biggest mistake I ever made - I still have the serial # so I can try to track down the owner when I win the lottery).

To: Texaggie79
Really? I didn't know that, but it's funny - I've seen "Top Gun Anthem" by Eddie van Halen (on file-sharing networks - shhh) but I always chalked it up to people not knowing what they were talking about ;)

I have come to the conclusion that the only people who are permanently banned from FR have no sense of humor and should be banned from the internet entirely and put in a Chinese prison factory where they spend the rest of their lives making cheap shoes that we can buy at Wal-Mart.

Teenage daughters did not have to creat diversion or break something to get me off the computer. May never get back on tonight after they take over modem line.
Opened a cold can of Coors.
Loaded some more LC brass to feed the M1 Garand using 147 grain boat tail with 48 grains of 4895.
Went out to buy new "Phantom Menace" star wars DVD to entice girls off PC and watch movie instead {this worked}

What is this "baseball?"
It's that game where the Giants always lose to the Dodgers, rummy.

You mean the game where the Giants have finished ahead of the Dodgers in the standings the last 5 years running?

Since you asked...
I found a truly fascinating website with a radio broadcast about an American warship called the USS Liberty. The Liberty was attacked by Isreal during the 6 day war (1968), and the whole thing was covered up at the HIGHEST LEVELS of government.
The guest on the broadcast is a crewmen from the liberty who explains why Johnson covered it up and why he ordered three separate Navy Admirals to turn-around there rescue flights while American Navy-men were dying in that attack!
Here's the link to the broadcast...

Your join up date is interesting.

Just a shy, lurking girl. Thought you wouldn't notice me.

Well when I first saw it, my mind assumed it was This sep 11 since so many joined up after the attacks. But it was in 98. Just one of lifes little quirks.

To: LaineyDee
Is there a cure?
I've found a good temporary cure is a severe verbal gang pile up when yer on the "wrong" side of an issue. That kinda thing usually weans me off for a day or two. "I just look at FR for the articles, I swear I don't post"...

Thank you. I hope others don't mind, now that I finally got up the courage to post. I wonder if I'd get special dispensation to change my signup date - it really is upsetting.
To: Texaggie79
I discovered that your wives are all at MY house. Will you get them out of here--they keep yelling at me to get off the computer and tell them if I really think they look fat in their new slacks.

I'm sorry to hear about your loss. It also happens to be my mother's birthday.
As for leg braids, it's safe to say I hope I NEVER see them. Nothing personal against you, of course...
Ugh! The thought alone!

I learned that there are worse things than FR being down for a couple of hours. Like when you come home from a Freep and find that your techie husband has dismantled the computer and gone to work til 2 AM! These have been the worst 18 hours of my life! I am traumatized now.... grin.

I know exactly how that is. How many computers do you have running in your house? We have 5, all built by him. I swear he on the floor working on the CPU than he is ACTUALLY using it. LOL! It's nice having your very own IS department tho.
