"Come Together!!"
(As sung by the Beatles)

Here come old flat top, He come grooving up slowly,
[Dm]He got Joo Joo eyeball, He one holy roller
He got [A7]hair down to his knee;
[G7]Got to be a joker, he just do what he please.

{c:Play riff}

[Dm]He wear no shoe shine, he got toe jam football
[Dm]He got monkey finger, he shoot co-ca cola
He say, [A7]"I know you, you know me."
[G7]One thing I can tell you is you got to be free
Come [Bm]Together, Right [G]now, over me

{c:Play riff}

[Dm]He bag production, He got wal-rus gumboot
[Dm]He got O-no sideboard, He one spinal cracker
He got [A7]feet down below his knee
[G7]Hold you in his armchair, you can feel his disease
Come [Bm]together, right [G]now, over me

{c:Play riff}

[Dm]He roller coaster, he got early warning
[Dm]He got muddy water, He one Mo-jo filter
He say, [A7]" One and one and one is three."

Hello and good morning to all our hostesses...you look a little high strung today...but, still, cute and adorable as always.

Mr. Temple Owl, sir, pleased to meet you. Quite a story behind you, a wonderful life you're living....the love for your wife and boys is all over your beaming face. Thanks to you and she for all the work and service you've rendered to our great nation. Semper fi, mac. May your day be Freepin' excellent in every way.

[ValerieUSA]

*LOL* I love the pups... what a cute litter!

[Mixer]

Hope you are all having a great day. It is very rainy here. We are getting some of the leftover weather from Ohio, although the rain is about all we are getting. I feel for all of those families that lost loved ones and their homes.

My cousin Isaac Ryan died at the Alamo, one of the first to die. His name is on a plaque on interior wall of Alamo. I have copy of his birth certif., and some other things like that.
My cousin George Washington First in the heart of his countrymen, too many great things to list.
My father-in-law served during WWII.
My uncle Richard Thoos, who is still MIA WWII in a B17, presumed dead long ago. When the peaceniks started protesting the other day, it broke my heart, I went to Richard's framed photo and apologized to him for the protests! The DEMONstrators make me SO angry! They don't appreciate anything that our military has done.
I also lost two friends in VN War. Ricky James and Larry Henshaw. Just boys, from Sapulpa Oklahoma. Their names are on THE WALL, I did a rubbing of their names with pencil on paper. You can do that at THE WALL. I did that during the Fantastic FreeRepublic Howl for Justice on weekend of Oct. 31, 1998.

Terrific post.

Love those puppies! LOL

[Pippin]

HOWDY, BILLIE AND EVERYBODY ELSE! HAPPY TUESDAY!!

[dansangel]

Good Afternoon! (Morning still by you, Billie!).

Temple Owl: It is a great pleasure in getting to know you. I absolutely LOVE to hear a great "love story." In addition, you have a beautiful family, have had a wonderful life and both you and your wife have done selfless duty for your country.

A day late, I wish you and your wife both a Happy Veteran's day and a big thank-you for all that you've done.

{{{{{{{Temple Owl}}}}}}}}}}

Billie: Hey there, Billie Blue! LOVE today's thread, the puppy graphic and, I have to tell you, the "old birds" you put up over the weekend. That just cracked me up! Have a great day!

Afternoon Billie

CONGRATS TEMPLE OWL !!!!

I have alot of fond memories as a kid selling The Bulletin newspapers ...

Ahhhhh those were the days and a great newspaper also

[JulieRNR21]

One of the best things about this thread is that we get to learn more about other Freepers. It is so inspiring to read about Temple Owl, Maggie & their three sons. And so heartening to see that there are such fine conservative journalists.

Here's a familiar scene from your hometown area to help celebrate.

CONGRATULATIONS to FR's Finest...Temple Owl

[JulieRNR21]

Love those cute little puppies.....and this truly is the funnest (and friendliest) place on FR!

BTW after posting my large graphic tribute on Veterans Day....I got kicked off my PC....guess it was just too much for my old HP to handle......LOL

Medical Report: the fire ant bites sustained on Election Day is the line of duty (waving Jeb & Katherine Harris signs) are responding well to Keflex antibiotic.....swelling & infection now under control!

Reminder to self: Always wear sneaker & socks when standing on grassy areas in Florida!

Our new Congresswoman Katherine Harris is in DC for 'freshmen orientation'.....she's going to be a fabulous Representaive for Sarasota and the nation!

[Mama_Bear]

Billie, and my finest sisters,........that graphic is adorable! I just love hanging out here. LOL!

Temple Owl, it is has been so nice getting to know you here on the Finest thread........and now we get to meet your beautiful wife and sons. "The Owl and Maggie.....a Love Story". I have always been an ol' softy when it comes to a love story. ;-)

I hope you enjoy your day in the spotlight. Thank you for all you do!

[lonestar]

Y'all are the cutest things I've ever seen. I especially like the eye-lashes on the girls.
