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!

Another cute list I found in my email not long ago.I would like to have done graphics to illustrate all of them instead of just part, but this is a pretty good start;   let's see if you can add some in your comments. You might also think of some scenarios that aren't included here, but at any rate, I bet you'll be quick to recognize all of these!

1.   Large, loft-style apartments in New York City are well within the price range of most people - whether they are employed or not.

2.   At least one of a pair of identical twins is born evil.

3.   The Eiffel Tower can be seen from any window in Paris.

4.   Once applied, lipstick will never rub off - even while scuba diving.

5.   It's easy for anyone to land a plane, providing there is someone in the control tower to talk you down.

6.   Should you decide to defuse a bomb, don't worry which wire to cut. You will always choose the right one.

7.   Even when driving down a perfectly straight road, it is necessary to turn the steering wheel vigorously from left to right every few moments.

8.   It does not matter if you are heavily outnumbered in a fight involving martial arts: your enemies will wait patiently to attack you one by one by dancing around in a threatening manner until you have knocked out their predecessors.

9.   You're very likely to survive any battle in any war, unless you make the mistake of showing someone a picture of your sweetheart back home.

10.   If you decide to start dancing in the street, everyone you meet will know all the steps.

11.   All grocery shopping bags contain at least one stick of French bread.

12.   When you turn out the light to go to bed, everything in your bedroom will still be clearly visible, just slightly bluish.

13.   Police departments give their officers personality tests to make sure they are deliberately assigned a partner who is their total opposite.

14.   Honest and hardworking policemen are traditionally gunned down three days before their retirement.

15.   During all police investigations, it will be necessary to visit a strip club at least once.

16.   A detective can only solve a case once he has been suspended from duty.

17.   A man will show no pain while taking the most ferocious beating, but will wince when a woman tries to clean his wounds.

18.   If a large pane of glass is visible, someone will be thrown through it before long.

19.   If you are blonde and pretty, it is possible to become a world expert on nuclear fission at the age of 22.

20.   If staying in a haunted house, women should investigate any strange noises in their most revealing nightgown.

Okay, your turn! :)   There are several just begging to be illustrated, but don't forget.....

No, Tuesday's is my primary day off, the second day floats. I usually go to quilting guild on Tuesday, didn't today, lots to do, my fridge was empty and needed filling, and I had an afternoon date and early dinner. Dating is one of the reasons I've been less active of late..he occupies most of my evenings.

I really am happy for you, Gail. It's so nice to know you've found someone you enjoy being with again. :)

[Billie]

I'm going to say goodnight now. Enjoyed your additions to the "movie" list today. Thanks a bunch to all and again it was nice seeing so many new *faces*.

[The Mayor]

Night Billie!

[Victoria Delsoul]

Nighty night, Billie. Sweet dreams.

[El Gato]

when firing anti-tank rockets, there is no such thing as a back blast area unless you are trying to attack the hero.

Well there was that LAW in "The Enforcer" where Tyne Daily just about got cooked by the back blast during the demo of the LAW, when Dirty Harry pushes her aside at the last minute. Funny, I can' recall why they were demo-ing the LAW to the police? Oh yea, now I remember, the bad guys had stolen a bunch of them. I think. :)

Wednesday Thread Here
(don't get bit)

[GailA]

He's a retired teacher from a community college here in Memphis and a retired 20 year Navy vet. A conservative New Yoker transplant to Memphis. He lost his wife 3 years ago to a heart attack. Thinks he's to old for me at his 65 to my 57. I don't think so, nor does he act old.

1/ All evilly planted bombs have an LED clock display showing how much time remains before its imminent explosion.

2/Handguns, even ridiculously short barreled revolvers; can reach out to 50 yards to accurately hit a bad guy.

3/In a running gun fight, if the villain's pistol locks back or runs out of ammuntition. The villain will vainly throw it at the hero.

4/Any wheeled, tracked or rotored vehicle can be "Hot wired" and made to run.

5/Even in Manhattan, the hero can always find an open, legal place to quickly park his car immediately in front of his objective.

Jack.
