What does "Ping" mean?
Posted on 07/02/2006 7:57:20 AM PDT by maineman
I see so many people asking to be put on the 'ping list', what does that mean?
I also see that you can be 'pinged' if something you are interested in is posted. Are you notified someway?
Thanks

They say Jesus isn't a Republican or Democrat, but I'll bet He's a Freeper.
Now Satan is defintely a Democrat, and DU was probably his idea too.

I meant this earlier time........ ;-D
See, people think Free Republic is cool now, but it was REALLY neat in the late 1700's! Free Republic was much better then, I thought. Jim Robinson had just purchased his moveable-type printing press, and we would all stand around awaiting our turn to print our message out. Then we would physically walk it over to a big bulletin board and pin in up. In order to keep track of which message went to which response, a piece of thread was used. That is how the term THREAD was born. Once in a while someone would get so mad at a persons message, they would set it afire. That is how the term FLAME was born. People who did not want to post messages would lurk in the shadows of the room, hoping to remain unnoticed. That is how the term LURKER was born.
At that time, we were all debating the first continental congress and whether we should be a Monarchy or a Republic. The Second Amendment was a very hotly debated topic. We wanted future generations to know we were protecting the right of INDIVIDUAL CITIZENS to keep and bear the arms of their choosing, so in order that there be no confusion as to our intention, we appended the phrase "A well-regulated militia being necessary to a free society,". We believed this phrase would completely strip any ambiguity out of the Second Amendment once and for all.
George "Dubya" Washington was destined to be our first president, but we were still all very upset about King (Billy Blythe) George III. It appears he was embroiled deep in corruption and sexual deviancy.
At the time, we were sending the very first Cuban citizen back to Cuba and the newspapers made quite a fuss over it. We all grew bored.
When the New Amsterdam armory had the explosive accident, lots of conspiracy theories were were circulated. The most reasonable explanation was that the Center Gunpowder Keg simply spontaneously exploded. Although there were 180+ witnesses that saw a flaming arrow arc into the barrel, authorities quickly discounted this improbable theory.

So are you saying "Tijeras New Mexico isn't the end of the world but you can see it from there"? I think I had a t-shirt that said that once.

Have this interesting Spanish translation of Ping!
"¡Silbido de bala!" which means "Whistle of bullet!"
Seems very appropriate for a South Texas/Mexico Ping List, no?

The FR Lexicon is like the rap industry. I hear a nrap song about once every six months, and it's like a whole new foreign language the way the slang evolves.
You gotta stay dizzown with the smizzack.

They say Jesus isn't a Republican or Democrat, Perhaps, but look at the 10 Commandments.
God is definitely a conservative.
