Our first FReep of the weekend was in Little Rock at the Sam's Club. We were unable to secure permission to be on the parking lot, however, the kool-aid drinkers had been herded inside anyway. We actually ended up with quite a conspicuaous location on a busy road where the entrance to the Sam's is also the entrance to the Walmart next door and we were there through the evening rush and beyond.
Present were FReepers DCBryan1, Budge (in his new motorized scooter embellished with American flags), stop_the_rats, nolu chan, sonofron, gogirlgo, Travelgirl, maxplunder (formerly Don Friovinai) as Bill Clinton, sweetliberty as Monica Lewinsky, lurker Ann, stop_the_rats' husband, and Chad, a friend of DCBryan1.
We got to our corner to discover it occupied by a rather strange character who wielded a bigger than life sign, showing support for Hillary but not Bill. While I personally did not approach him, I understand from some of the others that he reeked of urine and alcohol. Travelgirl attempted to "correct" the old fellow, but when he said something asinine, she lost it and called him an idiot. He didn't seem the least shaken by it, however. We did have to be a bit careful to distance ourselves though, so as to keep anyone from thinking we were with him.
.
Our most popular sign brought a great show of support from the majority of folks passing by and was even misquoted in the article that appeared in the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette.
this morning.
Well, I said that the "Honk" sign was the most popular, with everyone, that is, except DCBryan1 who was rather attached to Ann.
.
We got a few one finger salutes, but a lot more thumbs up. One car full of young black guys drove by in a frenzy shouting, "we love Bill. Leave Bill alone." They did this repeatedly. Apparently they didn't realize that it was Hillary who was there.
We were interviewed and photograped by several members of the press, including the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette and the AP. There was even some German news crew there.
There was a stop light there so Travelgirl had opportunity to pass out copies of our winning top ten list along with some questions and answers about Hillary, especially her ties to the Communist Party. Several passersby took our pictures
We even had one police officer (in a squad car) drive by and honk and another got out of his car across the street to take pictures. A good time was had by all and after the FReep we retired to the Buffalo Grill where we had some very good food.
We had to get a VERY early start this morning to get to the Blytheville FReep on time since we don't have the luxury of a private jet like her heinous does. When we arrived the town was all but dead even though the "event" was to take place in the middle of the downtown area. The officers and secret service were very pleasant and accommodating, even moving one of the orange cones blocking a prime parking spot allowing us to park in very close proximity and we had a whole area of shaded sidewalk complete with park benches to ourselves. While we were not right in front of the store, most of the Hillaryites had to walk past us to get where they were going.
.
.
In attendance today were Travelgirl, Budge, maxplunder as Bill Clinton, SelmaLee and her daughter Madeline who drove down from southern Illinois, and sweetliberty as Monica. Madeline was a delightful and sharp young lady of 14 who gives me hope for the future. No pulling the wool over this girl's eyes. She created a terrific "retro Hillary" costume complete with the dorky glasses, her mom's original Woodstock t-shirt, a Sal Alinsky button and the writings of Karl Marx. Her 2-sided sign read "retro Hillary" on one side against a psychedelic background, and "Blast from the Past " on the other.
.
SelmaLee had a great Hillary costume together, but decided it was too hot to wear the black pantsuit. Too bad. She had the details down!
.
This was a very different crowd than last night and was definitely Hillary friendly....we're talking Stepford RATs here along with the typical lemon-sucking liberals with their panties always in a knot. We got a lot of confused looks and some seemed rather stunned, as if they'd never seen protesters before. We got some interesting remarks too. One older type lady (I use the word loosely) walked by and called us idiots. SelmaLee responds with "here is somebody who waits in line for hours to get Hillary to sign a book she didn't write and she is calling US idiots?" Probably the most amusing was an angry woman who called us communists as she clutched her signed Hillary book tightly to her chest. Gotta love the irony. Then there were 2 older women who kept shaking their fists at us. I'm quite sure we ruined their whole day....and it was very satisfying to do so. Another woman said something to the effect of "dearie, she's going to be our next president so you'd better get used to it."
We were puzzled and amused by the presence of an ambulance so close to the entrance of the store. We decided that it must be there just in case some poor unfortunate actually looked Hillary in the eyes and was turned to stone. Can't be too careful.
.
We were again interviewed by several press and TV people and one fellow from the Jonesburo paper, Dave, I believe his name was, came over and said that we looked like a lot more fun than those other people. He hung around quite awhile and chatted and took pictures. I was also interviewed for a spot on the local news in Jonesburo.
There was one conservative lady who came by and wanted us to take her picture with "Bill".
One thing these FReeps, especially the Blytheville FReep, made clear is that we should never underestimate the power these Stepford RATs can wield. We have our work cut out for us.
The icing on the cake today was that the queen herself actually had to go right past us, and quite closely at that. Budge even made eye contact with her. Of course, he wasn't "quite right" all the way home.
Afterwards we all went to a place called "the Sharecropper" and had a great lunch and discussed the FReep. While there I went in the restroom to change clothes. A lady came in there and was terribly upset and felt the need to tell me about it. Seems she had been misinformed about the time of Hillary's booksigning and had bailed on a friend's funeral and driven from Paragould to have a signed Hillary book only to find that it was all over when she arrived. I had a few choice words, but I decided to be a good FReeper and not upset the poor dear furthur.
Are you telling us that "Post FReep Refreshments" aren't mandatory?
Nope
She's running VICE President. Think of it:
• She keeps he promise not to run for president in '04
• Two years and one day into her term the first slotter gets arkincided
• Under Article XXII, she can still run for two full terms as the incumbent
• The Hillary!™ Decade begins
• Hillary uses the Patriot act to it's fullest extent, and beyond
• At the end of the Hillary!™ Decade there is a National Emergency "temporarily" delaying the elections
• Under the pressure of the National Emergency, the 2nd and 22nd amendments are repealed...
GREAT POST SL!! Hitlery is doing MORE than just Arkansas! She needs to be stiffled NOW!
Chris, maybe you could fill in a little on what was going on inside and how you managed to get in and actually get a look at the "queen" herself.
Like I said, LOTS and LOTS of lesbians. And most of them had more masculine bodies than me! (That includes the she-queen herself...I saw her and the first thing that went through my mind was : "Holy cow, a pregnant dyke"!)

Friday, we met at the Taco Bell not far from Sam's, where last minute plans were made and signs completed.
I decided to break in the new wheelchair at this FReep, trying to do my best Jim Robinson impersonation with Monica and Bill, below.
I had planned on taking as many pics as possible, but naturally, the "new" batteries only lasted through five shots, after the old batteries quit at home, checking "Bill and mini-me," below.
We met at the entrance to Sam's where several people honked as soon as they saw Monica's "Honk" sign, even some Sam's associates clapped their hands. "We can't honk, so we'll clap," one said to me. About then this young man's policeman Dad politely told us where we were to move.
During the long trek/ride to the street, I discovered the large American Flag did a real good job of obstructing my view as I should have learned when we took the first picture. :)
Once the FReep started I was amazed at the language of the Hillarites, as the joyous expression on the young "lady's" face shows below. I shouldn't have been surprised though, I have visited DUh.
We recieved several one finger salutes, to which we laughed and waved in response. That made them even angerier. LOL! Something else I noticed, both in Little Rock and Blytheville, when the "oh so tolerant" people walking past made comments, they usually waited until they were past, I suppose so it would be easier for then to run with a head-start. After all, we are a fierce, war-like tribe! LOL!
We were supposed to have someone dress in the jail-house suite below, but because several masks failed to show up on time, the ever resourceful ladies decided to make it Hillary's new pant suit below, which even made the Arkansas Democrat/Gazette article!
A friend showed up to wish us well and posed, rather shyly behind the "Honk" sign.
I did a lot of roaming in Blytheville, even around to the back to see the usual Clinton entrance - the back door. You can see some of the worshipers gathering near the back door, below, on the off chance the queen will grace them with a glance.
It was shortly after I took the above photo that we gathered back to our FReep site, where I happened to look her hienousness in the eye as she drove past! I am only now getting over the effects that glance had upon me!
Many thanks, First_Salute!
I shall return the salutation!
While getting ready in Little Rock, I was trying out some lines I was going to use on some of the KoolAid drinkers in line. Stuff like:
Hello lovely lady, Want to play with Mini-Me?
Hillary's in there? I was wondering where she was lately.
Well anyway, we were setting up in front of Sam's and already getting pictures taken. One photographerwas a little ways from us and I did a little pose for her. She came up to me and introduced herself as a photographer for the AR Democrat Gazette. I wondered whatever happened to that picture. hehe
Wearing the mask friday was a little uncomfortable. Saturday though, the humidity was very high in Blytheville and I had to take it off pretty often. Everytine i did though, it seems somebody would come up and want to see "Bill" One woman even wanted her picture taken with "me".
All in all I had a lot of fun. Some said I had the bored wave down perfectly. Can't wait till we do something like this again. Well until next time.
