You forgot the good old days when we were invaded by a bunch of French prostitutes. To get attention they would wave logs in the air. They would wave and wave their logs in the air yelling ‘pay attention to me’.

Humblegunner finally got sick of it and threw a bee hive at them. From then on, French Prostitutes were known as Bee-Loggers.

To have an Ash Alert, you need Don Morgan. No Don, no Ash Alert.

Thanks, Chris, GREAT piece!. I, too, want to wish a HAPPY FREEPING NEW YEAR to ONE AND ALL! bttt

Now on to the "Real History of Free Republic". I'd just like to note a small ommission, if I may:

"IdHitit" now known as, "Lazamataz", wrote: "The very first FReepers were the people who posted their "messages" as cave drawings. ...*sigh* And I remember it so well, like it was yesterday. THOSE were the good old days. The graphics were spectacular. I remember how we tried to overthrow Og (Billy Blythe) Rugtuk, when we found he had sex with a woman who wore a dress. No one really understood what a dress was..."

I remember it well, too. And being one of those first "FReepers", I can report that "IdHitit", now known as, "Lazamataz", is leaving out something important.

He neglects to mention that as we were all denouncing Og (Billy Blythe) Rugtuk for having sex with that woman, he (as usual), confessed to us, "I'd hit it, too".

IdHitit changed his FReeper screen name to Lazamataz around AD 2000, but his M O is still the same:

GOOGLE search words: I'd hit it lazamataz :)

"Cave paint? You n00Bs had cave paint? Why, I remember when you had to have your own hollowed-out log in order to drum out posts and yer baud rate was no better than the rocks tied with thongs to the end of yer drumsticks would allow. There was this old, rotten, wrinkled, falling-apart log at the fringe of the camp we named Helen Thomas>, that no one else would touch, but danged if Laz wouldn’t hit it.

I remember that, too. See my post above. :)

I’ve only had the pleasure of conversing with Laz a few times and I’ve been here ten years. Good to see such a wit and fine FReeper working with you.
