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!
~ Billie, Mama_Bear, dansangel, dutchess, Aquamarine ~

It's about time we give Christmas tips to the hostesses around here. Each of the five regular hostesses -- Billie, Mama_bear, Dansangel, Dutchess, and Aquamarine -- will receive one of the gifts pictured above (unless they prefer of course not to trust an erratic judge like me with their snail mail address, hee hee!).
But hmm, they've all been so good this year. Who should get which gift?? Play Santa the best and divvy up the gifts and you'll win a special prize! And yes hostesses *are* qualified to enter the contest win the surprise gift too. Of course, a holiday contest thread wouldn't be complete without silly rules, so here are mine: |
THE RULES
You know how wonderful our hostesses are And you know how hard they work. So pony up your Christmas tip And don't be a stingy jerk.
Above you see six pictured toys And your only job is a piece of cake: Write a poem of that explains Which gift each hostess should take.
Explain in your poem -- which need not rhyme Why which hostess should get which toy. If your poem is the best you'll win for yourself A surprise which will bring much joy.
To do well in this contest it will help to have read Some of the threads of this year. So you'll know, e.g., which hostess loves quilts And whose hot for George W. in flight gear.
But if you don't know, that's no excuse Not to offer a poem of praise. It's Christmas time and well we all know How much our hostesses deserve a raise.
As you can see from this poem my standards are low Regarding both meter and rhyme, But one key to winning is to be sure to enter By 8 p.m. Eastern Standard Time.
They've worked so hard all year long And given you color, and graphics, and fun, and great joy. Please help play Santa for our lovely sistahs And you'll win a precious toy!
Now some of you may see six gifts And think that I'm the sixth But guess again and think real hard About who else should be on your list!
There's another who appears more often And delights you with his prose He should get a gift too and which one You'll also decide in your lovely poem.
Good luck and have fun and my final advice Is go for it and be sincere It's the thought that counts, not how "good" your poem Just share with us your good cheer! |

I'm in awe of your poetic skills. Rhyming "vex" with "LadyX" was nothing short of brilliant. :)
To: JustAmy

Po' baby! I know that you can be nice (I won't tell), but show a itty bitty bit so that you can maybe win or at least get honorable mention. I know that you can do it.

Please let me win The President Bush Doll. As you all can see I'm the most qualified of all! :-) If you think she's kidding
Well guess what, she's not
She's got her bush suit in a favorite spot.
In a place where even I am not allowed to go!
So there you are, and now you know!!
