The picture of Calvin looking sideways is great. That beer looks soooooooooo good. Quite a while back we used to be able to get a Bavarian beer 'round these here parts called Monkschof. It was great!, but evidently can't be had anymore, 'cause the sons took over the business...

By the way, and though I'm a little afraid to ask, what is a neener?

They're non-Calvinists who basically are poking fun of the GRPL Calvinist ping list. The Neeners were the opposition in the Great Calvinist War of 2002-2004.

No, I am not a member of the Neeners. I am unaffiliated after I left the GRPL because of ... unpleasantness.

"By the way, and though I'm a little afraid to ask, what is a neener?"

We trace our history back before 4-5 B.C. It was a neener (we prefer to use the lower case so as not to be as obtrusive as some others like the GRPLs) who rented the homey stall to Joe and Mary. The Wise Men (they got their names from being neeners)displayed admirable neener dexterity with the facts confusing Herod. It was also a neener who rented the colt on Palm Sunday and the upper room for the banquet. It was a neener who let Paul down the wall to escape and Paul's nephew who eavesdropped on the conspiracy was actually an apprentice neener.

Moving right along, Augustine, while contemplating in the garden overheard a neener telling his kids to pick up their room and do their homework. What he thought he heard was "pick up and read, pick up and read" so he looked at Paul's writings and the rest is history. Who do you think carried the hammer and nails for Luther? Certainly not a Priest. Of course it was the lowly neener sexton. I'll stop there else you might think we are bragging.

However, I'll give you one more example of the importance of neeners. There was a classic adventure movie that almost garnered an Academy Award nomination that needed a poignant scene to summerize in a scene all that is good and decent in man and we, the neeners, let them use one of our slogans and didn't even ask for any royalties. I leave you with it,

Son of a motherless goat?
And who are you?

Wherever there is injustice,
you will find us.

Wherever there is suffering,
we'll be there.

Wherever liberty is threatened...

you will find...

The neeners!


"That beer looks soooooooooo good"

I think you have what it takes to be a neener!

I could provide you a list of them, but they deny having a membership roll.

I could tell you what they believe, but they contradict themselves.

Basically though, they are a confederation of FReepers whose sole purpose in life is to wrongly contradict everything anyone from the GRPL posts.
