Welcome to FR!

We get so many liberals who arrive pretending to be Conservatives that we automatically put up our defensive shields of humor.

Happy to have you. Enjoy! Over time, you’ll learn what most of the odd things above mean. They are inside-FR ways of communicating that old-timers recognize and find funny.

Sometimes, we’ve lost track of why the original humor was funny, but it is now.

Cheese. I have no idea how that started, but any mention of cheese takes you off topic into irrelevant land.

Moose. “A moose bit my sister once” is a credit that rolls at the end of a Monty Python skit.

Beeber. Someone once misspelled “beeper.”

Stuned. Misspelling of Stunned. Soon, being Stuned with a Beeber was everywhere.

Shower. Someone in the middle of some massive breaking news event said that they would be right back to the discussion after taking a shower, which many found hilarious.

Viking Kitties. These are the characters that come out and ZOT liberals who have been outed.

ZOT. This is now known as “Zorch On Target”, though that was not the original decryption, which I don’t think existed. Zotting is what happens to liberals once outed.

Etc. Ask the original poster for decryption and description of all the other weird posts above, and you’ll be a long way towards old-timer-hood. Plus your Father / Mother Eleutheria5 can help you understand what just happened.

Keep it together, play nicely with all the characters here, and enjoy!

Welcome Aboard!

"Zorch" comes from Tom Clancy's "Executive Orders, to wit:

Two seconds later, the SPY search RADAR jacked up its power to four million watts, sent all of it down one degree of bearing at the inbound fighters, and increased the "dwell" on the targets, which meant they were being hit almost continuously. It was enough to peg the threat-detection gear they had to have aboard. Inside of twenty miles, it could even start damaging such equipment, depending on how delicate it was. That was called a "zorch," and the captain still had another two million watts of power up his sleeve. The joke was that if you really pissed off an Aegis, you might start producing two-headed kids.
