looking for a good movie or documentary on the Hurtgen Forest battle
OMG, that’s right Judith. It was before John programmed the site to close tags in replies. I remember Laz creating a HTML bomb for us to use when FR was bombarbed with HTML trolling during the March for Justice. Several freepers spent the day using his code.
oh, I remember Classy Green Eyed.....( i had a different handle when I became a FReeper, back in the dangling chad days....)
Dont recall Hurtgen......that was a bit before my time here..
I remember when FR was still so small that on an average day there would be like...30 threads or less —the ENTIRE day..!
EVERYONE knew one another.
I remember when Drudge was still getting like 100,000 hits per day.
FR grew. When that happened, there were weird waves of people bidding goodbye, “cuz now everything sucks here, and it’s not like before...”.
See, but then they’d keep coming BACK, saying goodbye MORE AND MORE —very annoying.
I remember, “BTTT”..! ;) Ah good times..!
I remember being able to read every thread and every reply each day. I also remember recognizing almost every poster name.
Those days are long gone.
Never protested anything before but screamed my lungs out.
Whataver happened to “Tourist Guy”?
I remember when he first showed up just after Sept. 11...and then he was everywhere...
Was I in the Chinese General outfit? I think General Chang might have come to live sometime after that...
No wait, I was interviewed, and later told 5 seconds of it got onto World News with Peter Jennings, or something.
I was jumping around making a ridiculous Chinese accent (this was during the Johnny Huange missles for cash days).
oh yeah..! The bro with the back watch cap and the COKE BOTTLE GLasses..?!? ?ahhahahahh!!! Backpack, right?
Kind of like the New Orleans black beer cooler guy....?!?!!?
ahahahahh good times..!!!
I had my kids with me. They were confused by the whole thing but for me it was a real catharsis.
Ping to a couple of other oldtimers.
yeah, looter guy has taken the role now, but tourist guy was everywhere.....he even showed up in the audience at the SOTU in 2002, I think it was......funny stuff.
I have seen looter guy show up recently in a few places here on FR...
it has changed ALOT here in the last 11 years, but it is still my first stop for news, etc..
Good times, indeed
Same thing for me —had NEVER protested ANYTHING..!
I had a blast..!
Nice weather, and the Cable Cars clackety-clacking right by.
I was hoarse for a couple days. Wait..! I think I photographed you guys, and made a post explaining everything, with pics...
OH WOW...! Those were the DAYS~~~!
That's the first thing I thought of...
Anyone else remember when Lucianne used to post (before the split)? And JR would post and some Freepers started getting good at PhotoShop (All your base, etc. :-) ). Slick Willie was going to put us all in lockdown when Y2K came around. Personally, I’m beginning to appreciate the Schlickmiester more and more as Obama’s term continues. :-(
“Italians OFF!”
Oh my, the memories!
When he was sober he was good
When he was not he was better!
Oh yes, what was her name, Trixie? I never appreciated beinc called “my pretties”.
FR was a much different place back then. DITHF classygreeneyedblonde (never could remember how to do the funky colors) ASH ESQUIRE TLBSHOW
I can’t believe it took this long to mention TBL. How can we ever forget him?
