 Today we're talking about FR Screen names - and logos for those names. There are several logos in the opening post, and we hope to see many more throughout the day. Additionally, in the Welcome graphic above, there are four logos hidden in four of the letters. Just slide your mouse over each one until you see one that's clickable. It could be *your* name. :) |
Hi Billie!
You may have noticed there are quite a few Bobs around Free Republic.
I noticed it too. Some days, it seems every Tom, Dick, and Harry is named Bob.
And then I realized that my screen name is just a nickname, so I became NicknamedBob. (Just call me NnB or Bob for short, after all, it's a nickname.)
I never came up with a logo. Any suggestions?
Absolutely, positively.....
This has to be one of your very best threads. You are so doggoned talented!
You must have worked your little blue tail feathers off putting this one together. : )
Just thought I'd pop in from the delightful coastal town of Penzance in England where I'm taking a break from it all and say HEY. (Can't find the quote marks on this Brit keyboard...)
I hope everyone is well. Keep on keeping on!
Cool Billie!!! Great thread!!
Kewl Thread.
Popping to the surface to say Howdy!
Been spendin' a lot of time diving down to the depths of Able Danger. Reminds me of the old "Whitewater Files" when I first began lurking at FR and all the info available yet unreported by the MSM concerning all the scandals of X42 and his unlovely co-conspirator. Once again, the MSM is trying their darndest to ignore the elephant in the middle of the editorial boardrooms.
Well, got fresh tanks, more deep divin' - Have a great day!
Kewl new logos in the "Welcome."
I have some other logos that I want to post (all made by the amazing and talented wolfie), but I am really pressed for time today. I see that the thread is scheduled to run for two days, so I will have time to come back and post them later.
The "fashion maven" (LOL. That is too funny!) needs to grab her pearls and run, but will be back.
Happy Tuesday HUGS!
I Made my My Screen Name out of Two Things; I Love Kitties, so I Decided to Combine "Kitty" with the Cutest Cat Name I Knew of: "Mittens", LOL. My Real Kitty's Name was "the Fang-Face," but "Kitty Fang-Face" Sounded to Ferocious to Seriously Consider!
I still Adore this Cute Graphic you Gave me Quite A While Ago; the Look on the Kitty's Face is so Sweet:
Thank you so much for creating the special one for me, and your lovely words.
We've come a long way, Billie, since meeting over SocksC. and his harrowing escapades in 1998, volunteering to be his two safe havens, should one be needed!!
The Whitewater Years, though ever so frustrating, drew many of us together...I see Diver Dave registered not long after I did.
Getting back to your topic, I'd been in Lurk Mode on FR since September 1997, getting the Nitty Gritty on what *really* was happening with whom and where - - cruised along, fuming and seething, until I reached Mt. Vesuvius Stage.
In April of 1998, Kenneth Starr was being hounded to death everywhere he went, reporters salivating over possibly getting an exclusive 'Something.'
One day they descended like vultures as he emerged from his house, carrying to the curb his garbage bag for pickup like a good husband would, before getting in his car to drive to work.
He was barely able to back out, the car totally surrounded by the press.
That sad scene finally tripped my trigger, and thoroughly outraged, I zipped off an email to JimRob with a "What If" counter thought - -
What if we supporters of Truth and Right were to balance that picture with tons of our support mail being carried in huge garbage bags by Postal Service carriers TO his house?!!
The hour was very late here on the Right Coast, and I headed for bed.
Okay - here's where I interject the fact I NEVER CHOSE A SCREEN NAME !!
Waking the next morning, my husband (a lurker longer than I had been) greeted me with "Look at this!" and led me to the computer screen.
It was an FR article posted by JimRob - - and for it, he had used the email I sent him!
Since it had my real name signed to it, he had used XXXXs over it to protect my privacy.
Then my husband gleefully said, "Knowing you would like to be able to make replies right away, I WENT AHEAD and REGISTERED YOU as - - LadyX!!"
Of course, when Billy Jeff used the disclaimer "I DENY DENY DENY I..." - I could very well vehemently say I DENY DENY DENY the "X" stands for X-rated ..:))
[Footnote: as a result, many of us DID send letters of support to Kenneth Starr's office, receiving thank you cards in the mail..:))]
A year or two ago, I had lovingly tagged ST.LOUIE1 - our dear Wolfie - as my Woofie Toofums.... he retaliated with a logo playing on the "X" in my name - -
[I love it, Louie Louie..:))
There you have The Real Story......
Billie, what a novel and cute idea for a thread. Sorry that I haven't been in attendance much lately.
and got this wonderful logo in return!
Is he good or WHAT?!!! :)
Over 225 post today, Miss Billie. You did an excellent job and peaked our interest. Good night, all.
