VANITY: The "Truth" about JimRob and Free Republic according to BADJOE

LibertyPost.org | 10/10/03 | BADJOE (Slightly revised by JimRob)

[Jim Robinson]

Dear Free Republic Friends,

My old friend and brother-in-arms BADJOE has promised to warm the cockles of our hearts by publishing an expose (the truth about JimRob and Free Republic according to Joe) on the 18th of this month, which represents the one year anniversary of the date he last posted to FreeRepublic.com and started up with LibertyPost.org.

So, as I believe that only the truth can set you free, and based upon the stratergery of pre-emptive strike, I have a confession to make (before BADJOE makes it public):

I have poisoned the well.

By my sly innuendos behind the scenes.

By my intellectual ineptitude.

By not trusting those that brung me to the dance to bring me home.

By my biting every hand that fed me.

By my arrogance that causes me to think I did it all by myself.

By my stubborness not because of principle, but because of my lack of ability to see what is transpiring.

Evidenced by:

One would think that with half again as many Freepers. with a recovering economy, It would take a great deal less time to raise the necessary funds.

By this time in the June 2002 effort with a goal of $70,000 we had raised $73,000. Not because of who did the fundraising, but because the sense of purpose, of family, of comaraderie, was still present.

BADJOE rang the warning bell, but none heard.

Conclusion:

It is a sad day.

For what was once a great hope, a means of bringing together those who are willing to pay dearly in blood, sweat, and money to save this country, we all love, has been reduced to an asterisk.

So sayeth BADJOE as he promises to publish all this and much more on the 18th. He's been feverishly working on this "project" for one full year. In addition to the "truth about JimRob" BADJOE intends to further betray our trust placed in him by revealing the names of our moderators. And who knows what else?

I can hardly wait.

Is it the 18th yet? Tick, tock.

I'll tell ya another thing. Give me some Buck Owns, Dwight Yoakam and George Jones before you give me any of this "country" music that they're passing off now. My wife's ex was the GM of CMT and my tastes bug her as far as country goes.

Stop it....I'm having a classygreeneyedblonde flashback...

[Jim Robinson]

Yeah, I like the oldies a lot, but then I also appreciate some of the new stuff too. Like this one:


We don’t like to go out shoppin’, don’t care what’s on sale
Just wanna sit with a bag full of chips watchin’ the NFL
When you come over at half time, you say does this dress fit too tight
We just look you in the eye with a big fat lie and say
“Uh-Hu, looks just right”

Well that’s the truth about men, that’s the truth about us
We like to hunt and golf on our days off, scratch and spit and cuss
And no matter what line we hand you when we come draggin’ in
We ain’t wrong, we ain’t sorry, and it’s probably gonna happen again

We hate watchin’ Steel Magnolias, we like Rambo and Die Hard IV
Jump up and down like fools when we see the new tools
At the Home Depot Store
We don’t really wanna take you to dinner at some fancy restaurant
The only reason we do is ‘cause we know it leads to
The one thing that we all want

Well, that’s the truth about men, that’s the truth about guys
We’d rather pick guitars and work on cars
Than work on the problems in our lives
And though we might say it to you now and then
We ain’t wrong, we ain’t sorry, and it’s probably gonna happen again

Well, if you wanna know what we’re all thinkin’, it’s nothing too complex
It’s just somethin’ cold for drinkin’ and a whole lotta “S” E” … Yes.

That’s the truth about men, that’s the truth about us
We like to hunt and golf and drive around lost
And scratch and spit and a whole lotta other disgusting stuff
And no matter what line we give you when we come crawlin’ in
We ain’t wrong, we ain’t sorry and it’s probably gonna happen again

We ain’t wrong, We ain’t sorry, and it’s probably gonna happen
Sure it’s gonna happen, you know it’s gonna happen again
And that’s the truth about men

I think you are confusing "tiny-brained wipers of other people's bottoms" and "I fart in your general direction." S'okay, happens all the time. :-)

I don't have the very first season when they were boradcasting from Minn. I'm pretty sure I've got seasons 2,3,5,7,8 and most of the rest. If they ever start running Joels stuff then I'll have to go back and fill in the blanks. But most of Joel, I do have.

That's cool. I used to watch them on the Comedy Channel when they first ran. A weekend morning ritual, me and my sister. My friends would come over and wonder what in the hell it was lol (we lived in the boonies and dad had a satellite dish, so we had stations a lot of other people didn't have).

Next time you watch Daddy-O, and he's doing the Hike, Hike, Hike song - check out his eyes. That boy was loaded

Ok. lol

[stands2reason]

"Tiny-brained wipers" nor "wiper"! Shhesh! I swear, nobody cares about accuracy anymore...

[TomServo]

Hmm - That's pretty good. Sounds like some folks are still tellin' it like it is. Maybe I need to open my horizons a little more.

Yeah, I've already been chastised for that. I've promised to get the tape out and take a refresher course. :^)

the two superpowers quickly losing control of their arsenals

Were you ever on Nuclear Alert?

[stands2reason]

Tom, did you see the one two Saturdays (I think) where the bots were insulting each other? Hilarious.

I didn't, but I do remember that epispode of "Three's Company" where there was sort of misunderstanding... And the "Star Trek" episode where Kirk gets busy with the sexy alien female...

[stands2reason]

the whole show went downhill after Joel left, though.

THANK YOU!!!!! It's like the second Darin. Nobody made a big deal of it BUT IT TOTALLY MESSED UP THE SHOW!!!!

[TomServo]

Nobody made a big deal of it BUT IT TOTALLY MESSED UP THE SHOW!!!!

Yeah - but did you notice anything in the credits when Joel was hosting? Mike was the head writer! Go figure! The only thing I can figure is most of the shows were ad-libbed while Mike was writing.

[Jim Robinson]

Just in:

$25 from Never Never Land
$10 from Maryland

Thank you both very much!!

Less than $5.3k to go!!

[stands2reason]

Thanks! At first I was thinking it was that Elizabeth Smart that got kidnapped... wasn't that this year as well? I know those threads had a lot of scorched patches on them...

[stands2reason]

Wasn't Joel the creator of MST3K?
