WOW!!! You were unrelenting in the interview, dansy. No wonder Billthedrill had to get a couple of refills on the home brew.

Congratulations, Billthedrill. Nice to meet ya and put a face and bio to all the great comments I've read over the years.

Welcome to the FR's Finest... Hall of Fame.

Atta Boy, Billthedrill!!!

[Billie]

Hope you're having a great day today, Missy. Pippin :)

BIS and dutchess, I see you're both up to mischief today. :) Of course, it's a fun kind of mischief. :)

[firewalk]

Good morning/afternoon Billie (-:

hope you have a nice day

[Billie]

'Morning hs mama (beautiful graphic!) and gentlemen and T Man, you, too. :)

[The Thin Man]

Great - I sure messed up that last post. I'm sure T Man will let me know about it, too. :)

It's funny you would say that since I thought it was one of your more coherent and visually appealing posts. :-)

Of course it was. I just wanted to get you to say something nice for a change. :)

BTTT Hey, everybody! It's Billthedrill our Brewmaster! where... Over here! He's here! The beer is HERE! Come quicky before that Christmas Holiday Dark with the orange and hint of cloves is gone... Oh, it is? Well, BTD's sure to have another batch, isn't he? You think? A pale spring ale? Yum. So whose got snacks? You do??? Home baked by Publius? What a Renaissance man. Excellent. But now there's the thorny problem of the place... I see Bill has one. Aren't those trees? And a yard of sorts? He's been holding out on us! Yes I think I have the address. Publish it? Phone tree? OK! FReepers are organized. In about an hour? Good plan. He'll be so *happy* to see us. YES, I am sure! No problem... Now about that hidden key in the back yard...
A Washington Legend!

Wonderful job Dansangel! We just love Billthedrill! Thanks for choosing such a wonderful candidate for FR's Finest today, you can see for yourself how entertaining and intelligent he is! Congratulations Tim! You've lived an exciting life and now you've filled in some of the juicy details LOL BTW, what is your new brew? :)
Washington State Ping!

[FreeTheHostages]

The luxury of taking this sort of position is the luxury afforded them by social institutions they did not earn, such as their country's wealth and military dominance, that serve to insulate them from the consequences of indulging their preference for filtered truth, for framing these problems in whatever terms best flatter their self-image of the moment and serve their ability to denigrate their political opponents.

I agree. And if you think about it, it's the way a child is. A child assumes that all this here exists for them, and it's for them, and it's just all magically about them. Children live in a kind of bubble -- they don't interface well with reality.

I think about the childlike attitude of many of the "peace studies" people toward Iraq: they have almost this magical line of thinking that everything will be OK and everyone can be made to be their friend. It's just not the lessen of the 20th century. Stalin existed.

I think every child should be required to read the Gulag Archipelogo in school.

[The Thin Man]

I knew you would say the opposite of whatever I said.

Pretty sneaky. You got me. I guess I'm just not as conniving as you. :)

[The Thin Man]

A child assumes that all this here exists for them

Improper grammar. "Child" is singular, "them" is plural. :)

[dutchess]

Hi Billie...you have freepmail

Meekie..thanks so much! Knew I could count on you!

[dutchess]

Billie messed up?????? Love when that happens...makes me realize she's human too! (just kidding Billie!)

Hate to say this Thin Man, but I think she deliberately messes up just to make you happy. The sign of a good hostess...putting your needs ahead of her own!

[dutchess]

You folks are pretty lucky to have someone like BTD among you...and yum...homebrew...we have a friend who homebrews...he's always the hit of the party!

[Libertina]

Home brew friends are the best ! LOL Have a pleasant day, Dutchess! :)

[Interesting Times]

Great interview! Incisive, yet relentless...

A Billthedrill bump.

[frodolives]

BTT for BTD. As the Bard says, I commend the interviewer's volubility.

(Ladies, you ARE aware there is no- as yet- Mrs. BTD?! Pippin has some nice motherhood words- how 'bout letting BTD have some hands-on Fathering (and husbanding) experience? Then he'll have the, ahem, true insight on the reasoning of actual children.)

[MeekOneGOP]

My pleasure if I can help out. Thanks ! . . .
