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.....

THIS WEEK'S THREADS 10-10-05 Military Monday

Opinions by our own 'King of Ping' Every Thursday at the Finest The guy's good, folks!

[Billie]

Must be a message there!?! :)

Could be, but somehow I don't think of our wolfie as the big bad guy like that wolfie! :)

[Billie]

I am determined to not get chewed out & sent in corner this week!

Gosh, and it's such fun doing that, too. LOL!

(Don't forget the bottom links and the topper) :)

[Mrs.Nooseman]

You are welcome Billie.

Thank you.:)

[Mrs.Nooseman]

Hi LadyX.

Great story,glad no one got hurt.

[Billie]

Are you feeling back to 100% now? Hope so. Colds are so miserable. :(

[Mrs.Nooseman]

I am back to my old self.

Thanks for asking.

[Billie]

I am back to my old self.

Great - really glad to hear that. :)

[Mrs.Nooseman]

So am I.

"Could be, but somehow I don't think of our wolfie as the big bad guy like that wolfie! :)"

I already addressed that in my Reply #77, Billie..:))

By the way, here is how The Big Bad Wolf looked
after he devoured Little Red Riding Hood's Grandma - -

(duz our wolfie like that chapeau??!!)

YIKES! Sure glad *our* wolfie doesn't look like that!

[LadyX]

They were never "destructive" or "talk back to adults" boys.
You, of course, would know well how children of military members *must* behave!

When they were 7 and 8, we drove from Rapid City, South Dakota to Fairbanks, Alaska, through Canada and over the Alaska Highway, in the dead of winter in a station wagon - including our baby girl 2 months old in a bassinet, and two dogs - one a German shepherd.

(The entire trip was made in snow/ice, and we did not see the pavement of any highway until the following early May when the Spring thaw began in Fairbanks!)

We drove nonstop (past the Battle of Little Big Horn Park; closed, since we went through during the night) to Great Falls, Montana, and holed up in a motel for 24 hours.
In that time they did most of the work of taking in the needed luggage and food to cook, etc., emptying the station wagon and repacking it so we could leave.

Military children know full well they are part of an effective unit -their Family Unit - and did all chores well, and cheerfully.
I'd bet yours did, too..:))

[ST.LOUIE1]

OK, be that way then. LOL I'd rather be a cute little bluebird anyway.

Well, you are very cute. : )

Hey, looks like you're givin' wolfie a dressing down, you're sure tappin' that foot.

Bossy BillieBlue. : )

[beaver fever]

21) A machine gun will never run out of ammo no matter how many times you pull the trigger.

[ST.LOUIE1]

Ah - but *Our Wolfie* would not touch a hair on Little Red Riding Hood's head,

Yes he would.....if he could catch her!

[ST.LOUIE1]

By the way, here is how The Big Bad Wolf looked after he devoured Little Red Riding Hood's Grandma - -

LOL! Burp! Ooops.....pardon me. She tasted like chicken. : )

Ditch the 'chapeau'. : )

[Aquamarine]

Hi Billie. Busy day but I finally made it here!

I love the tables you used in the Opener plus the graphics, everything is so well coordinated, was wondering how you got the jagged edge on the side of the paper table.

One of the trends that I've noticed about movies lately is that the woman seems to always be the heroine that saves the day in the end...never the man anymore. Think it started with the Alien movies which starred Sigourney Weaver.

[LadyX]

Was this cartoon based upon you, Mr. Wolfie?!!

Say it isn't so!!
Eatin' little ole grandmas and demolishing hay houses?

[ST.LOUIE1]

Could be, but somehow I don't think of our wolfie as the big bad guy like that wolfie! :)

: )

[Aquamarine]

Hi Lady. My mom was born in Hollywood but not this one the other Hollywood in Florida. :)
Didn't you live there at one time?

[ST.LOUIE1]

Say it isn't so!! Eatin' little ole grandmas and demolishing hay houses?

Well, once in awhile there's a bit of slippage of the old halo. : )
