Favorite FReepers...

[Long Cut]

We've all done it. You've just gotten home, logged on to FR, and are scrolling down the "Latest Posts" page, deciding which thread will get your attention this evening, when THAT SCREENNAME jumps out at you in a "to" or "from" position. You are powerless to resist; if THAT GUY's there, it's gonna be a good thread...

All of us have our own "favorites" among the many colorful souls who congregate at this fine website. They could be someone you disagree totally with, agree completely with, or somewhere in between. They might be a fount of useful information, links, and facts. Our favorite might be devastating at the art of debate; demolishing opponents in truly unique style, or he might be just plain nuttier than squirrel dung, but fun nonetheless.

Perhaps your favorite FReeper has a way with words; an excellent writer. Maybe they are someone highly experienced in a particular field, with knowledge that many do not posess. Maybe they're dumber than a bag of hammers.

Point is, no matter what the reason, our "favorite FReepers"' handle attached to a thread makes it all the more interesting to us; it guarantees a wild ride or sublime pleasure in the reading and learning. It may also guarantee an increase in blood pressure and indigestion, but one thing's for sure...that thread HE's on is gonna get a hit or two, and it won't be boring.

I've got more than a few of my own, and I'm sure all of you do as well. WHO'S YOURS?????????????????

Much worse than caffiene withdrawl.
For a few wild minutes, I thought I was in some film noir movie of one type or another.

[Darksheare]

LOL!
Tormenting the bugs in the jar is horrible.
But, I'm one to talk since I sometimes do that myself.
Busy, hmm.. here's to a lightening of the busy-stuff so that Pars can come back and hang out at least.

My favorite freeper is my dad,saminfl, as he is the one who got me hooked on free republic.

I see you got mentioned here! wow!

Guess I'll put my own name out there even though I was gone at Easter time.

Salvation!

Thanks, dansy!

And how about the crew over at the FReeper of the Day Thread?

[Conspiracy Guy]

It is clearly a friendly smile.

[floriduh voter]

good for you!

[Darksheare]

Thought so as well.
But the recipient still is off to parts unknown.
Oh well, I guess some just don't like politeness?

[Conspiracy Guy]

Some people can't read facial expressions.

[Darksheare]

True.
But I've been accused of being 'unreadable'.

[Conspiracy Guy]

I saw warmth, concern, and sincerity.

[Darksheare]

LOL!
Been wandering some of the other Zot threads, found some really WEIRD people out there.
