Perhaps the effect might be more imposing and reflection-inducing when coupled with a sombre title : 'the sword and shield of freedom', or similar?

THE BIG STICK !

We have spoke soft.

[RonDog]

BUMP!!!!

;)

[LeeMcCoy]

Wow! Beautiful! Thanks Bob, and thanks for the ping, RonDog!

[Corporate Law]

Great, great photo! Thanks for the bump.

[RonDog]

Fo the record, someone ought to "view partial source" and cut out a big chunk of HTML to post here from Dead Goat Saloon (9/21/2001) "I love photoshop 'PIC'", showing their timestamp, to document Bob's first public posting of this image.

I cannot do it until later today. (135 views, pre-FR)

It would be nice to find contact information for someone in marketing/PR with PhotoShop, and direct them to THIS THREAD.

[RonDog]

Sending a link to THIS THREAD to Drudge, NewsMax, etc. would be nice, too!

I already contacted the time-shifting Hugh Hewitt. (New PRIME TIME hours, starting TODAY!!!)

Cool. Let's Roll...

[RonDog]

I understand. More later. See post 38 on THIS thread.

Great post, RonDog!

In the now infamous words of Todd Beamer, who sacrificed his life with several others aboard United Airlines flight #93 on that fateful day of 11 September:

LET'S ROLL ! ! !

[PatiPie]

Love your picture, Julie!

I've got it archived in my photo album. Hope you don't mind.

GREAT IDEA, RonDog! I think I will. ;)

From the Narrow Gauge Dead Goat Saloon , here is Bob's FIRST on-line posting of this now world-famous image, recorded on FR for posterity - with a datestamp to establish his priority!

I know JUST the FReeper to do this!

Hey, HK - you're not a "newbie" anymore - you're a regular now!

To tell you the truth, I hadnt intended this thing to get out of hand.

LOL! Reminds me of the retiring Charles Darwin's nervous reaction that people
were actually paying attention to his work-product!

Great graphic...and welcome to www.freerepublic.com, the closest thing to the
concept of "Hyde Park" on the Internet, albeit with a fully disclosed conservative
agenda.
Stick around...things may be wild here on occassion, but it's worth the ride.

Here is my meager attempt to create something similar to the great B-52 quip. Great picture, Bob.

And our boy wonder, Gary Condiddoit, with forgivness requested from Slim Pickens for use of his photo.
