All Freepers held in high regard deposit $10,000 a month to a Swiss bank account only I have the address for.

Don't miss out.

moron (preferred spelling - "maroon"),

And "moran"

You left out—when someone complains about a network show, always be sure to say you threw out your teevee years ago, and berate anyone who still has one.

;)

Hope everyone had a Merry Christmas! (A happy holiday is optional.)

This really should be in “Breaking news”.

[denydenydeny]

And don’t forget on any movie thread the need to announce to everyone that you haven’t watched a movie in years

[BigBlueJon]

This should really not be in BREAKING NEWS.

Just kidding......Made you look.

But really.....this is series and it could be very hugh.

And don’t forget the Lazarus threads, where a 1, 2 even 5 year old thread is resurrected with a reply like “I agree!”
So everyone jumps in the discussion again. :)

I love it Graybeard!

Lol...

If you can squeeze it in there, also let folks know that you don't own a television set anymore and haven't since 1967.

You forgot one though:

When in General/Chat and there's entertainment news on a celebrity, movie or a music band reuniting which you have no interest in, a good FReeper always clicks on the thread and posts "Who cares."

[CholeraJoe]

I only have one TV and I tuned it to Fox News in 1999 and ripped off the knob. I believe in Black helicopters, White SUVs, AIDS as a CIA conspiracy, the Bilderbergers/Illuminati/Trilateral Commission/CFR/Masons control everything, and that if we just elected Ron Paul everything would be hunky dory.

Do I qualify?

[Graybeard58]

Do I qualify?

Well, you have been here a lot longer than I have, so you must qualify.

"I have credit cards but pay all balances if full every month", extra points if yours is the first reply on the matter."

I have credit cards, but my wife and I disagree on paying off the full balance most of the time.

How many points do I get for that?

“...proudly proclaim that all your kids are home schooled and geniuses to boot.”

hahaha...Home Run...!

I guess I should read the rest of your post....I need some more laughs...

I like to say: “sanctimony is my name” for certain type of posters...

I like cheese...

"noob? That just sounds dirty!"

[Graybeard58]

Everyone who has replied to this point, has more time here than I do, I haven’t been able to call anyone a noob yet dammit.

[avacado]

You can call me a ‘noob!’ It would be my honor!
