A Few of FR's Finest....Every Day

Free Republic made its debut in September, 1996, and the forum was added in early 1997.   Over 100,000 people have registered for posting privileges on Free Republic, and the forum is read daily by tens of thousands of concerned citizens and patriots from all around the country and the world.

A Few of FR's Finest....Every Day was introduced on June 24, 2002. It's only a small room in JimRob's house where we can get to know one another a little better; salute and support our military and our leaders; pray for those in need; and congratulate those deserving. We strive to keep our threads entertaining, fun, and pleasing to look at, and often have guest writers contribute an essay, or a profile of another FReeper.

On Mondays please visit us to see photos of A FEW OF FR'S VETERANS AND ACTIVE MILITARY

If you have a suggestion, or an idea, or if there's a FReeper you would like to see featured, please drop one of us a note in FR mail.

We're having fun and hope you are!

4 Awl U Dew,
This Ones 4 U, T Man

Some of you are probally wandering why I would go to so much truble on such an ellaborate post for a man who has, in the past, only found fault with all our threds, but it just occurred to me that its probally becaus he's ben hoping someone would feeture HIM.

T Man, I'm sure you can find no spelling erors or typoes in today's post becaus I checked it so carefuly before posting, but just becaus you get so much fun finding misstakes, heres some little pictures just for you - find the one thats difrent in each picture.

Please enjoy your day in the spotlight, and don't be too disappointed you couldnt find any erors except in the pictures. ~ Billie

Hey, All - looka this:

"I brought popcorn to the thread last night; but you were already off to bed.

Here, save some for later: "

(fires barrage of popcorn at me from a hand-held rocket)

Taking a poll here - how many agree Cal is trying to butter me up?? ...:))

[Calpernia]

Had to do something. Meg went ahead and melted a gallon of butter this morning.

I hate letting food go to waste.

[FreeTheHostages]

You mean this hurricane?

Ode to Thin Man

The Thin Man iz
as The Thin Man duz...
Alwaze caring -
Alwaze sharing - -
What'd we do
befour he wuz??!!

[FreeTheHostages]

View from the top of the Cape Hatteras lighthouse.

[Calpernia]

Ever read Stephen King's The Langoliers? That is the first thing I thought of when I saw that view.

[Aquamarine]

Oh good, you got here in time to support our precious Thin Man.

Have to leave for a while but I fell better knowing you're on the scene to make thangs batter for hem. lol

[FreeTheHostages]

Nope, but it definitely reminds one of Stephen King.

Yikes, this is big. People are focussing on the winds diminishing. But the thing is this thing is huge and has a ton of water. There's going to be LOTS of flooding.

[Calpernia]

I hope I'm right about the path changing to be more northern.

[FreeTheHostages]

Oh, it's like that, is it? The poetry hour?

Double Ode to Thin Man

The Thin Man iz
but bearly sew.
His waste is as thick
As my big tow.

LadyX sez hease always sharing.
Her defences are always daring.
She asks what'd we do befour he wuz:
We'd be awash in joy and luv.

Good morning to you, MIss Billie Blue..)

Simply put, The Thin Man is my hero...the way he disses our lovely Hostesses with such loving respect...he walks a thin line but never loses his balance...a feat which can be accomplished only with talent on loan from God.

You rule, Thin Man...thanks for all the excellent QA, proofreading and spellchecking...and, the smiles.

I found the pic of Thin Man below...on the job, doing his best to make sure Billie doesn't get her wires crossed.

Good day to all the Finest...)

[The Thin Man]

Billie, since you went to all the trouble of creating this thread I've been desperately trying to think of something complementary to say about it. Don't rush me, I'm still thinking.

I do thank you for not succumbing to the temptation of throwing in a lot of typos for my benefit. Haven't found anything out of the ordinary. It looks like a typical Billie thread.

:-)

The answers to your picture game: 1, 2, 3

[Billie]

Hi, Tooters - thank you - LOL! There are a few times we do silly things such as this because time and circumstances are not on our side. Hadn't planned to be without a computer most of yesterday, and even when I got it back last night, my Drive D (CD) was nowhere to be found! So I posted the thread this morning and called them to please come find my CD Rom for me. (a connection had come loose, and I didn't know where to put it - or where to FIND it even!)

[mrs tiggywinkle]

Hi Pippin. Popping in to say good morning before our school day begins :o) Have a sweet day.

[Billie]

Hi, there, Aeronaut. Nice of you to let a lady go first today. :)

[Calpernia]

My George! Officer Spellgood has been rendered speechless!

Billie, I think that is the nicest compliment TTM has ever given you!

See, TTM, you are thoroughly enjoyed here at the Finest!

[Billie]

LOL! (I had a really hard time spelling everything as I did!)

[The Thin Man]

I have often wondered, does our T Man look like this...

Yeah, exactly, except for the hair color and the mustache.

Wait......I hope you didn't mean the dog. :-)

[jwfiv]

Just love your Ode to Thin Man...))))))))

Good morning, M'Lady.
