Please have mercy on us dial up limited FReepers! Limit the big graphics, post links instead. A brief description of what the graphic is would help: To all who helped this get started, thank you! Special thanks to null and void for keeping these threads running on the weekends, Mo1 for the screamer, Ragtime Cowgirl for her Exclusive Live Transcription Service (tm), the AdminMods for their tolerance, mhking for the video links, and, of course,...

Listening to him talk makes my blood boil.

[Poser]

I for one, used your post of the NTV cam. You are not a moron.

[TomGuy]

Was that Achmed calling "Oprah" on the Bagcam? He thinks he's gonna be famous when this is over.

[DollyCali]

yes, and the bombing tends to shake up areas that may otherwise be safe underground.

[EllaMinnow]

They just did an interview with a Dr. Sue Bailey. She said that this wouldn't necessarily be effective, but there is also no way that these agents are in the water unless deliberately put there.

[commish]

HOld down the fort everyone .. I must go protect the world from Errant Golf shots. I am off to do battle with the frustrating little white ball

[RummyChick]

I used it too. I don't mind it being posted when something is going on that we want to see fast. Of course by the time I got there it was all in german

[Carolina]

I think it's time for a deep breath for everyone in the room. LOL! We're getting wound up pretty tight.

Anyone got a good French joke?

[Mo1]

WOW ... David Bloom is on MSNBC NOW!

He looks like hell and boy did he hair turn grey

[attyatlaw001]

7 weeks of detox is far better than Pelosi's 7 weeks of botox.

[AppyPappy]

I am off to do battle with the frustrating little white ball

Smite one of the little infidels for me.

[Solson]

All you have to do is right click on the link I posted and "Save Target As" and it should save it to your Hard Drive.

[LauraJean]

I am watching Japanese tv right now. Acording to the reporter the Iraqi news is denying the fact we are in the airport, but the citizens have now started to hoard food. now their talking about the 8 lane highway leading straight into the city.

[two23]

I do not feel as if FR are morons. His words--not mine-I have encountered mhkings rudeness before. Geesh, it was him who asked ME and all I did was conveniently reply provide the link.

[hawkaw]

Arnett overuses the word "clearly"

Everytime Arnett speaks I "overuse" the words Fu#$ing A$$hole

[Poser]

Make sure to keep your left elbow pretty straight. Oh yeah, pronate! (It took me 20 years to figure out what the heck pronate was).

A little Friday comedy..............(I like # 9)


From the April 2 Late Show with David Letterman, the “Top Ten Things That Will Get You Kicked Out of Iraq.” See the Late Show Web page.

10. Replacing giant mural of Saddam with a giant mural of you

9. Addressing all the officers as Cap'n Crunch

8. Teaching captured Iraqi soldiers to sing Kenny Rogers ballads

7. Giving precise coordinates of Wolf Blitzer's beard

6. Closing each report with "Bless our enlightened ruler Saddam Hussein, may he reign for 1,000 years"

5. Distributing leaflets telling Iraqi citizens how to save money by dialing 10-10-220

4. Senior officer asks to see you at 0400 hours; you show up 400 hours later

3. Your name is Geraldo Rivera

2. Your name is Saddam Hussein

1. Bringing your videophone into the shower

[Ragtime Cowgirl]

military personnel, planes and warships to the war.

Just stopped in for a minute - saw Rick Leventhal on FNC pull an obviously rare treat, a bag of M&M's, out of his bag. My immediate thought was: you'd better eat those quickly out there in the heat, Rick, or you'll be drinking them instead (voice of experience here)!

Gotta start school now......see you all later.

See post #792 for a good french joke. :)
