This week is the second week we have occupied the moonbats corner while they try to elude us by changing their protest times. This particular thread is also the SECOND FReep that a dedicated group of FReepers had this Saturday in Olney. Add that to being out at Walter Reed the night before, and that's three FReeps in 24 hours.
That puts BMWcyle and Apple Blossom in a group known as "The 3Fers". 3Fers are those FReepers who have attended a three FReeps in 3 days, with no full days between the FReeps. We don't want the FReepers to rest up, talk to their spouses or get caught up on their work. Just A Nobody is a 5Fer.
The honor roll of 3Fers is: tgslTakoma's MOABII; Albion Wilde; Bert; bstien80; BufordP; Cindy_True_Supporter; concretebob; DollyCali; Iraqikurd; Justanobody; Kristinn; Lurker Bill; Lurker Samir; Trooprally, [Mr] & [Mrs]; \/\/ayne; Wheelbarrow; cf_river_rat; BMWcyle; and Apple Blossom
If you "qualify" as a 3Fer since Sept. 24,2005, let me know and we'll add you to the list.
But I digress. Back to this Report of a most fun FReep.
Three weeks ago, the moonbats deserted their corner. Last week we occupied their corner after we made sure they were not going to show up. This week we went right over and set up. We knew they would not be there because we FReeped them earlier this morning.
Between the moles, roving scouts, Halliburton phone and email taps, the D.C. Chapter's Rapid Transformation Force (DCRTF) we were right on them, like FReepers on moonbats. They could only muster 3 piece-of-poop-niks (BufordP's nick name) to our 6 patriotic Americans. At least at the old time they mustered 6-10 moonbats.
Roll call this week includes: Cindy_True_Supporter (CTS), BMWcyle (BMW), Apple Blossom, Tolerance Sucks Rock, a Welcomed first timer in Olney, [Mrs] Trooprally, Lurker Bill and Legionnaire Frank, a Marine who served in Korea, and myself. NOTE: Last week Legionnaire Frank was actually Legionnaire Glen, a WWII vet.
All pics are by [Mrs] Trooprally.

BELOW: Our new corner. If you can make it out to Olney, we could use your help to keep a good presence on both corners. The banner was set as close to the Sherwood sign as possible to help support it. The wind was blowing pretty good this afternoon. This morning there was no wind and 90% humidity. We sweated just standing there.
BELOW: One of three of BufordP's new flip signs. The "Quaker" section flips down to read "Peaceniks", so we can use it at other FReeps.
BELOW: Old corner's banners and signs.
BELOW LEFT: CTS upset that there were no moonbats to "verbally engage". BELOW RIGHT: BMW and Apple Blossom, with CTS in background.
NOW THE CONFUSED MOONBAT. Their group still have not gotten their message out to fellow moonbats. As citizen SMASH said last week, by changing their time each week, they lose followers. That was evident this morning when they only had three. Even barking waveman was a no show.
The confused moonbat came out to the corner, just looking around. We all figured he was a moonbat just by the way he stood. He went back to his gas guzzling SUV and got a camera. BELOW LEFT: Moonbat taking pic of our old corner. After taking some pics of us on our new corner, I told him to take pics of the two large free standing signs. BELOW RIGHT: I also explained how we took over the corner. He seemed amused and smiled at the two signs as he took pics of them. I was beginning to feel as if he was on our side. He had me fooled.
BELOW: This is the sign that he left on an un-occupied corner. [Mrs] T saw him put the sign up,and then run to his SUV and drive away. Such conviction!! BMW immediately crossed the street and retrieved the most professionally made sign I've seen. /sarc off
I also had one driver get us confused with the moonbats. Imagine, there I was, with my "We support our troops efforts in Iraq" sign, holding a large American flag with the Marine Corps flag under it, and this guy gives me the thumbs up, and our other corner the thumbs down. I yelled to him that they were with us, that we kicked the peaceniks off this corner. He did a double take at my sign, grimaced, and drove on, shaking his head. What an unbelievable f##king idiot.
We also got our fair share of one finger salutes and cat calls. But ALL the honking was for us, with numerous clapping, thumps up and waves.
What a great place to FReep.
REMEMBER
Next Saturday, same place, Georgia Avenue, MD Rte. 97 and MD Rte. 108 in Olney, MD
Same time, 3 PM to 4:30 PM
As always, the D.C. Chapter's rules for protesting will be in effect. Briefly, they are: No violence, no profanity, no racism, no provocations, obey the law and treat all law enforcement officers with respect.
The event will be opposite Cindy Sheehan's trip to D.C. Last year's rally was a success for such short notice. Now you have advance notice. The troops need to see that we support them. They are getting tired of the driveby media throwing mud on everything they do.
Also, we need good crowds at Olney the next several weeks to help cover both corners. If you can make it, we would appreciate your presence. It might be a little dull without the moonbats there, but all the waves and honking are invigorating.
RE: Olney FReep -
If you live in northern VA and want a short cut to Olney, Check out Post No. 39. It's an easy 20 minute drive from the American Legion Bridge.
A special Thanks to BufordP for enhancing the original plain type directions.
Ping to the SECOND FReep last Saturday.
Thanks for all you do.
We're sure glad that you enjoyed ours. :-))
Thanks.
[Mr] T
Not worthy??? Your Minuteman cross country caravan puts you and the others in a class by yourselves. Thanks for that.
[Mr] T
We all gotta do what we can. When one that's in the right takes a stand against evil, it encourages others to speak out against evil.
Wish I could do more but still have to keep the day job-- Rove hasn't got me set up on the Halliburton Freeper Stipend Program yet, doggone it!
Amen to that.
time to call it a day. See ya all in the AM.
[Mr] T
Great report on "Olney Part Two".
Didn't even know about the "3-fer" club. Great to be included with such patriots.
If you "qualify" as a 3Fer since Sept. 24,2005, let me know and we'll add you to the list.3Fers are those FReepers who have attended a three FReeps in 3 days, with no full days between the FReeps. We don't want the FReepers to rest up, talk to their spouses or get caught up on their work.<[underline emphasis added]
Mr. T, rookie, you exclude us old timers. We were 3Fers when "you were barely a glint in Jim Robinson's eye" in BufordP's memorable phrase from last Friday. Our lawyers of Squeezem, Squeezem, and Makempay will be touch. :)
We don't want the FReepers to rest up, talk to their spouses or get caught up on their work. Just A Nobody is a 5Fer.
You drive them like rented mules, below. Great work!
Sorry I couldn't join you.
we need good crowds at Olney the next several weeks to help cover both corners.
Is this a standing invitation for the next several weeks? ;*)
Good to see you Spirit! Keeping busy?
Hmmmmm, I really should mark these FReeps on my calendar.
Good to see ya! ;*)
5Fer...woohoo!!! You are awesome!
Stop it! It is waaaaaay past your bedtime young lady! ;*)
