Making Laz’s history of FR a holiday tradition is an excellent idea.

I agree!

“I remember Free Republic back in the late 1930’s. It was much better then. Jim Robinson had just purchased his radio, and we would all key messages to one another in morse code.”

In the 1930’s, Freepers used steam powered laptops...

I actually remember Free Republic in the Whitewater File days when you linked from Drudge. I had a bit more hair then.

I hadn’t seen this before and I truly regret not signing up when I started lurking prior to the Whitewater threads. I must have heard of FR from Rush Limbaugh or Matt Drudge?

This is must reading for Noobies... http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2341085/posts

Ah, yes, the Whitewater File days. Back then, FR was much better. Michael Rivero was concerned that Clinton was in a cover up, but we all told him he was a kook. Soon, we all grew bored.

LOL!

Happy New Year, Publius! You still have a while over there on the West Coast.

Oh, yeah. You had to have some serious thick skin in those days. Seems kinda genteel these days. LOL!

Happy New Year, FRiend!

Yep. Three-and-a-half hours. But the smoked salmon is in the fridge and the champagne is on ice. I’m ready.

I hope you got your power back. Warm champagne is a bummer.

Lived up there in the state of Washington for a while. Over there on the east side, Spokane.

I’m ready as well.

The Prodigy board era was before my time. I started lurking in the summer of ‘97 asnd joined around Christmas.

I hooked up a second UPS. I can now literally FReep by candlelight! Champagne’s chilling in a snowbank on my deck. Gotta light off the grill now or I’ll be asleep by midnight. Who needs electricity?
