This is an evening you will not want to miss. Many of our friends in the conservative community will be attending the ball, as will many of your fellow FReepers. Hope to see you there!
PING!
>>Was the comment from Soshulist,...see you there...in jest?<<
Looks like it to me ... the Allah Akbar in all his posts so far were the tipoff. :-)
And thanks!
He's STILL NOT beheaded! :^O
Make sure you add me to any ping lists so I can follow along with the post ball stories. You know I will be thinking of you at the Freepers ball- dresses up, and having a grand time!
Now that's funny!
I've been busy making a few more signs for the American Sector along the parade route; also made the alteration to my dress. Still have to finish hemming daughter's dress and pack up all the parade signs and other allowed equipment and drive them down to DC Chapter HQ downtown tonight.
You 'all have a great time at the ball. I envy you.
Kristinn we there be a live feed from the ball like in 2000?
Sorry I won't be there. I'd sure love to be but medical bills empty out any "discretionary" money every month, and will for the next 5 years. Ouchie.
I'm sure looking forward to the after-event pictures. I'm reduced to enjoying Inaugural events vicariously. Sigh.
Here's a news flash for you, Soshulist I am one....
Talking about the leftists coming to protest the parade, and their history of violence at the 2001 Inaugural...
Now he's talking about the Ball and Mike Huckabee and his "fabulous band" Capitol Offense playing at our ball...
Bump
Please reserve a favor for me and my 5 year old.
Kristinn filled the listeners in on the timeline of events, the live thread that night and that Buckhead posted the famous comment that brought CBS to international shame.
hahahaaaa! That is great.I see they removed his comment, but he is still ALIVE!
I'm saving your GIF there, if you don't mind.
