Ding! Ding! Ding! Winner.

I was on that thread that day! It was exhilarating to be a part of history.

[Yaelle]

Great memories. Great achievements - amazing - of JR!

My wish is that FR would be made more device friendly and simpler without all the outdated clutter, threads easier to find, only one thread per major topic (sub threads to be followed), and encouragement to younger people who could learn and have fun here. I fear it will die with the ages of the original freepers growing.

I have posted over 200 original poems on FR during my 22 years here. Poems, limericks, sonnets, ballads and take-offs of current political and cultural current new...... employing the tools of humor, irony, sarcasm, word play and so forth.

Below is another little poetic masterpiece I concocted just for an amusement break on this great Freeper thread.

Leni/MinuteGal (self-appointed FR Poet Laureate-ette)

"I remember all the Gary Condit threads in 2002."

That one and The Lacy Peterson killed by her husband Scott Peterson in Modesto CA. He just got his death sentence overturned.

Scott Peterson's death sentence overturned by California Supreme Court

Thanks for the ping! Good memories. Almost 20 years ago...

[Freedom'sWorthIt]

Nice one! Thanks for all your contributions, MinuteGal.

[Interesting Times]

When you have a minute, check your FR mail.

[Freedom'sWorthIt]

Thanks and God bless you!

[Political Junkie Too]

Coincidentally, Gary Condit used to go to a SOMA (South of Market Street) salon in San Francisco for his body hair fetish, which was eventually revealed by the salon owner.

Lesson to Democrats...

Your salon stylist is NOT your friend.

[Freedom'sWorthIt]

Yes, thanks. Those were heady days.

May God grant this country mercy for this next election.

[NautiNurse]

Once again, you have employed poetic justice! Thank you for your bounty of wonderful, humorous contributions. Leni, you are a brilliant FR gem!

[princess leah]

I came on during the “sore loserman” days in Novembe, 2000. . Loved the freeper updates during those awful recount times! Still miss the Official Friday Silliness threads...

[The Chid]

Who remembers the scandal mongers of the old days? Eschior, Classy Green Eyed Blond, DITHF, Ralph setting the ZOT9000 Defliberation Laser Transmogrifier speed to Spork-Weasel...

Good times!

[JulieRNR21]

Yes...What fun to remember the glory days of Free Republic!
I recall being on the thread the night Buckhead caught Dan Rather’s fake documents! Mimute Gal: Thanks for letting me know about this post!
I remember protesting outside the WH with Dr. Raul one Halloween when he wore his red devil suit & I was Witch Hillary! Great memories! Thanks for Free Republic, Jim!!!

[JulieRNR21]

Yes, Indeed: “Long Live Free Republic”!!!

[Bob Ireland]

***“Long Live Free Republic”!***

Wow! Long time! I hope you are doing well! MAGA!

[ELS]

Was it Dr. Raoul who came up with the Clinton chant? (Bill Clinton, we have you surrounded. Put down the cigar, step away from the intern. Come out with your pants up!)

Yes! He said the first time he chanted it a Secret Service officer went behind the gatehouse so that he wouldn't be seen responding (laughing) to the chant.
