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!
~ Billie, Dutchess, DollyCali, Mama_Bear ~

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.....

Must be the same women who get up from sleeping and all their makeup is perfectly in place. They always look ravishing upon awakening.I always look like that when I wake up, too - gosh, I thought everybody did. :)

The hero can take a slew of bullets and survive and fight on, and the bad guy gets hit once and he's a goner. Isn't that the truth! :)

All the good guys and bad guys seem to be able to shoot out the headlight/taillight but never hit the intended victim in the car. I know! LOL! They can't shoot out the tires either!

I will have to find her, I haven't seen Lodwick around in a while.
I'll find her later, I just got off the phone with every news desk in Buffalo.
Seems like a month after the primary we would have all results in, but no, I have not gotten any numbers on the Conservative line yet. So I have made a news story, should get some coverage. Everyone of them said, "really, that's interesting we will have to check into that for you....
Make some news, that's the ticket!

How about this one?......In the movies, you can be sure that an airplane won't be involved in an air emergency situation unless there is a pregnant woman on board who can predictably go into labor in order to further complicate the situation.Oh, geez, isn't that what we're all dying to see - a woman having a baby - we can count on that happening a lot. :(

If there is a chase scene on foot, and they are running through the forest, one of them will always twist her ankle to slow them down. Absolutely!! Never fails!

And the only way to get from the back of the train, to the front of the train, is on the outside of the train. Dang, these are good additions - better than some that were included in the 'original'!
This one really should have a picture. :)

I haven't seen Lodwick in ages and ages. I'm not sure the Guild is still active, and think that's where he hung out the most.

Another thing you need to know; Jack London was wrong! It's the easiest thing in the world to build a fire in the middle of the wilderness, unless you're from the city, where fire is unknown. Then you'll need the help of someone who has lived among the trees.
A good fire also makes the wind die down, and if you're hungry, a rabbit will be attracted to the warmth.

Hi Sistah!!!! What a fun thread!!!! And I just LOVE the background and the "frames". My favorite pic is the "good twin bad twin"! Thank you, sistah! I MADE that one!!! (Dolly, the original pic - first frame - was in a group of pics you sent via regular email a few weeks ago) I searched and searched for an "evil twin" graphic, or one I could *make* into one. Then I remembered that darling pic of the two babies and only had to make two more *frames* to make that cute baby on the left be mean to the one on the right. :)
(and yes I wake up each morning with perfect makeup and hair....NOT!) Busy day...will stop back after work to "play"! (((((billie))))))
I hope you can come back later!
