One of the things I appreciate most about Free Republic is the humor. As JimRob says about FR posting: "And we always have fun doing it."
So what were the funniest FR threads of 2004? Here are a few to get us started:
Funniest Category or Type of Thread
The "Caption" threads. John Kerry, Howard Dean, and the rest gave us plenty of "photo opportunities." One of the funniest was this thread posted by dead: Bwaaaaahaaaaa! My new favorite Soccer Kerry picture just released by Reuters! (Unfortunately, old caption threads lose a lot of their pics as the news photos time out.)
Funniest Ongoing Series of Threads
The "DUmmie FUnnies," put together by PJ-Comix. Seeing the Democratic Underground "DUmmies" in despair is pure Schadenfreude. The most recent example (it's hard to pick just one) is the thread from yesterday: DUmmie FUnnies 12-30-04
Funniest Single Thread of the Year
You need tons click "co-ordinating" (Free Republic - The conservative click Guerilla), posted by Jim Robinson. Goofy Google translation of a German Spiegel article about FReeping.
Interesting. I just paged through the entire "Kerry just flubbed the opening pitch at the Yanks-Sox Game" thread. Not a single picture of Kerry trying to pitch at the game has survived. The left is purging their files of embaressing Kerry photos.
... one that was pulled.
Slipped staff a coupla bucks: presto!
No contest. :)
We did max it out.
6 months and one day (I am the molestonekeeper of the UT).
Dead Corpse nailed the Last Post.
It was probably their idea.
I can see his out of touch handlers sitting around a table, trying to brainstorm some ideas on how to make Kerry better connect with the common man.
"Hey I know! Americans love sports! Especially football! Superbowl will be coming up! Lets capitalize on that and have Kerry toss around a football on the tarmac as if this was his actual way of relaxing between campaign stops!"
Actually, it's not a case of "the left purging their files"; it's simply that news photos "time out" after a certain number of weeks. It happens on all threads with news photos.
Bump for later read
Reading thru the "der Speigel" thread and enjoying it immensely!
Al Baby also had a pretty good colonoscopy-sharing thread....
The news was slow that day.
Well First of all I wood like to thank the Academy for the nameanation. The most impotent thing in my life is to make people and freepers laugh
more later i have to go study for my blood test
Unnngh..
Ping
This looks like a great thread (about threads). Thanks for the ping.
My favorite thread of 2004 had to be "I'm Sorry". I LOVE Photoshop!
Oh, so THAT'S where the now-famous "stuned beeber" came from. I'm on FR quite a bit and somehow missed that one! ;-D
