Favorite FReepers...

Me. | April 9, 2004 | Long Cut

[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?????????????????

Whether anyone would get after me for that one -- I was kind of hoping to stir the hive since no one put me on their favorite FReeper list and I now know "And the sadness and emptiness they now feel crushes them like runaway freight train. The emptiness and meaninglessness of their life sweeps them into a vortex of despair. "

*sigh* such dispair that I have to toss a firecracker into the middle of the party. Now I am going to eat worms

;)

Hey I just noticed nobody named me their favorite either...good I prefer to stay anonymous, you never know who is monitoring the posts.

Swarthyguy. He could be posting about Martha Stewart and I'd go there.

[spodefly]

That was a damned nice thing to say.

I was being silly, but I do admit to living alone with cats. And having scanned the thread looking for my name somewhere.

[ladyinred]

Anyway - freepers are just the absolute BEST!!!! I love you all.

Ditto! For all of those whose names are mentioned here, they are now! :-)

NYC GOP Chick and LG77, two more cooooool chicks!

Well, thank you so much for brightening my day!

I always read your posts when I see your name, and you'd be near the top of any list that I'd make...but my list would be SOOOO long and I'd inevitably leave off some wonderful people. So, I'll just say that I like just about every FReeper -- some for their senses of humor, some for their knowledge, some for how they break apart the B.S. and so on. :D

That's OK box. FWIW, those who post with cute graphics as sigs, automatically become non-faves.

Just my quirk. Can't hep it.

My favorite FReeper is MYSELF! Always the voice of reason, now for four plus years! :)

Not to mention that I am a PROUD Bush Bot and nearly always agree with JR.

[wardaddy]

A lot of folks fit the description you outlined in your post....a whole lot actually.

[NYC GOP Chick]

Oh, you are *definitely* on my list -- I'm just not feeling well enough to write it out and I'm also terribly afraid of leaving off people by accident!

You and I could always set off another flame war and get the whole thread yanked... ;D

[RockyMtnMan]

feel the love ;-)

[sinkspur]

Don't forget his claim that it would impossible for Bush to win the presidency without carrying California.

Yes, and tuco-bad said he'd leave if Bush won the election without California.

Well, he didn't leave, at least not right away.

Then you didn't read my post that said if I pinged you ,you are a favorite!SO THERE!

[MEG33]

I'm popping corn and icing down drinks,waiting on a flame war..I'll share..;)

[boxerblues]

Thanks ((Meg))Thats what I get for not having my glasses on.

[MissTargets]

My favorites are:
gabz
Just another Joe

They are always so informative, on the smokers threads.
They keep their "cools", even with all the heat, from fellow FReepers, about smoking.

[boxerblues]

Its good to feel a little love. This thread makes for a lighter note after the past couple of days with the events in Iraq happening at such a rapid pace that I need to step away from them and get some semblance of sanity back.

[seams2me]

amen.

[RussianConservative]

Thanks.

My Favorites???

Easy....

Every single one of us who has read/learned somthing from FR...and then got off of their butts and DID something.

Every single one of us who showed up at Jarbidge...at Klamath Falls...at Demonstrations in D.C.

Every single one of us who was heartened to do something after 9/11...those who joined the Coast Guard Aux....or joined the Volunteer Fire Dept....or gave blood.

This place CAN be more than just a place to trade gossip....
