It took 20 JERKS and @$$holes to critize the writer for asking a question. Finally the 21st person to respond treats that question with a dignified response with definations. Is this the type of people we want on FreeRepublic? (The first 20 that responded. NO. We want the 21st person that responded in a kindly, informative and nonjudgemental manner. THANK YOU (Fortyseven)..............

conning tower. For a second, I thought you were referring to a minaret, not the structure in a submarine's sail. ;-)

It's too bad the wrong arm is used in that graphic.

I resent that! I was no. 20 and offered to help! It looked like a trick question from someone who had been here since 2003. Who made you the posting police for this thread anyway?

It is not like we gave him a SuperAtomicWedgie, pantsed him, and left him in the public square. Good natured ribbing keeps the sense of humor sharp. You never been on a snipe hunt? Sheesh.

Although Free Republic is mostly a news site, the emphasis is on politics.
A necessary prerequisite to winning in the political arena is acerbic wit.
It is not used often enough in my opinion, and every once in a while, a poster presents us with an opportunity to exercise it.
Carry on.

Arthur McGowan posted a vanity once, shrill and frantic, about all the pings he was getting. He basically screamed "Stop pinging me!" to the whole forum in about three paragraphs. It was hilarious!
What ensued can only be described as a feeding frenzy. Sorry, Arthur, I normally wouldn't ping you, even while mentioning your name, but this thread was simply too much to ignore.
Let the record reflect that the Arthur McGowan vanity thread is one of my top three of all time. The 'How to Properly Flame' thread and the 'Richard Gere Haiku' threads were also very good, but alas, were deleted from FR servers long ago.

Okay. What is it?
Maybe I don't want to know.

OK - I I recall that. In fact, in his own way, Laz still messes with that - per a search. AMcG is a Catholc priest and all around good guy; as well as being a FR legend.

I asked the same question when I came to FR... I just posted it on a regular thread(believe it was the war thread)...& got a little good feed back & a lot of jokes, all in good fun, just like here.. but I did figure it out thanks to helpful FReepers...
Don't worry about it.. I still don't know how all operates & all the time am learning new things about FR..
