This was my first FReep...and I'll BE BACK AGAIN. That is, on the next Saturday I have off.
During the FReep, some random young man about 20ish or so, wandered around looking at our signs...he then walked up to me to say "This is great...thanks for doing this!" I told him to join us next Saturday.
My FAVORITE moment came when my youngest son, all of 2nd grade in education, looked at me and said "Hey dad...this is what America is all about!"
By the way trteamer and fivetoes...the "Women in Black" are apparently mostly made up of wives of retired CSU professors...one of which my wife knows...
Again, it was a great time...if you've never attended a FReep before, do so - the people are great, and the time is fun and very well spent.
TRTEAMER had some of his signs stolen by the unwashed...it's OK, he sells posterboard, so they'll be replaced quickly.
Wow, out of the mouths of babes. What a great kid (and dad who raised him right)!
HOW DARE YOU STEAL MY SIGNS
There I was, by myself on station at the S.W. corner,minding my own business. I guess my anti-green,anti-U.N.,pro-capitalist signs finally got to them, so they conspired together and STOLE MY SIGNS,literaly.
There was this as you would call him,unwashed, guy standing behind me as if waiting for the walk signal. I pushed the walk button for him and continued FReeping the idiots. I heard a loud bang and turned around to see this guy diving in the back of a pickup truck which slowed up for him. He took 2 of my double sided signs and the pickup floored it to make their getaway.
Here is what the signs said: "Thin Our Forests","U.S. Out of the U.N.","Drill the Gulf", and "God Bless Capitalism". I have been ripped off by the Green,Anti-Capitalist,Globalists. What they don't have a clue about is my resolve.
An Open Letter to the Sign Thieves:
Hey Buck'o! I know what you look like, I know what the truck looks like, I know exactly what my sign lumber looks like. You may as well make firewood out of the lumber, because if it shows up on one of your peace-nik signs I will be getting you in a conversation with the Fort Collins P.D.. In fact you screwed up. For every 2 signs you steal I will make 4, for every 4 signs you steal, I will make 8! Since I have a custom wood shop, I can fabricate my sign lumber faster than you can steal it. Since I sell poster-board, I just picked up 8 new posters in NEON. Better wear your sunglasses next week. As a matter of fact I am kinda low on wood, I guess I'll call my lumberjack buddy and we will go cut down a nice big Colorado Blue Spruce to make protest lumber with.
God Bless America!
I am sorry I missed you. I was hoping that you would have been there a couple of weeks ago. I was really looking forward to meeting you. I will be there this week and off hunting again the following week. This time for a mule deer and an elk or two. Man, I love not paying for meat! I'm not doing too bad for a one-legged ol boy. I just thank God that I am able to provide for my family and enjoy the great outdoors.
