I am reminded of a comment by Mark Twain who said, in a difficult circumstance, "I feel like the man who is being ridden out of town on a rail. If it wasn't for the honor of the thing, I'd rather walk."

Dutchess, I deeply appreciate the effort you put in to this to make it attractive and successful every week for every victim (excuse me, honoree).

To All Others Posting Here: I am leaving in minutes to go to Raleigh for a live radio broadcast this afternoon. I cannot get back home, and on the computer, until late tomorrow.

My bride, Felicity Farhquar, may put in some choice remarks on my behalf before then. When I get back, I will go on the thread and reply to everyone who's addressed me, for better or worse.

(Blushing beneath his crown*), I remain,

Congressman Billybob

Nice to meet you Congressman Billybob!
You did a great job today Dutchess!
Highlands is a beauitful area of the Blue Ridge Mtns, that's where Dry Falls is located.

Dry Falls is called such because you can walk behind it.

Have a nice day in Raleigh and I, for one, look forward to Felicity coming on the thread-will be nice to meet the "wind beneath your wings".

Billybob, I've had the pleasure of freeping with you in front of the White House against the Clintons several times. My most vivid memory of one of your freeps during the early days of the DC Chapter is a cold January morning in 1999 when it took over a dozen of us to hold a banner across the entire width of Pennslyvania Avenue. The banner read "IT'S THE OBSTRUCTION STUPID". The entire group of five pictures can be found on my site here: Pics of WH Protest from January 30, 1999. Here's one for the thread:

You can see Billybob wearing his trademark cowboy hat on the right holding up the "ID" in STUPID and a couple of the faces were purposely blurred out. (Yes, we knew it was upside down. That was part of the gag.)

Thanks for all the articles you've posted to the forum. This freeper has enjoyed every one of them and many times has found them very educational. Cheers to you. Oh, and me and the missus just may take you up on your generous offer one day. ;) Joe (MCM)
