Tips on how to be a good "FReeper"
self ^ | 26 Dec, 2007 | Self

Posted on 12/26/2007 8:08:46 AM PST by Graybeard58

It seems to me that we are getting a lot of new members and the following may be helpful to them.

Live in a solid "red" state and when anybody complains about some asinine law in their blue state, tell them to "just move from there". The simplistic solution is always the best one. Refer to California as Californicate or Kalifornia. The people's republic of (insert state name here) is always good.

When an article appears about something negative happening in public schools, proudly proclaim that all your kids are home schooled and geniuses to boot. Extra points if you also state "Publik educashun suks" extra, extra points if you put "home school" in caps and add a few exclamination points.

Any article posted about guns being used in a crime, be sure to ask what caliber gun was used and berate the author for leaving out that very relevant fact. If the good guy shot at the bad guy and missed, tell everybody that he needs more range time. Helpful also to mention what an excellent marksman you are. Post a picture of one of your guns for extra points.

When an article about those deceptive credit card companies is posted, post a reply stating one of the following, "I don't have a credit card and never will", or "I have credit cards but pay all balances if full every month", extra points if yours is the first reply on the matter. 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. If you can't get that in, you'll just have to wait for a thread about the MSM to post it. Don't even hint at the fact that most articles posted here are from the MSM.

A "noob" or "Newbie" is a member who has been here one day less than you have, an old timer has been here at least one day longer. Noobs opinions don't mean very much because they all started forming their political philosophies the day they signed up here.

Become adept at using these terms, Noobie, troll, DUer, idiot, bigot, moron (preferred spelling - "maroon"), IBTZ etc.

Join one or more of the following as soon as possible, Spelling police, grammar police, thread police. Extra points if you join all three

I'm not fully coffeed up yet,am I logged in? Any helpful suggestions or additions are welcome.

It would be my honor! Honor?

She offered her honor, he honered her offer. All night long it was honor offer, honor offer, honor offer.

Mind if I hijack your thread? LOL! I mean, excuse me for putting on my tin foil hat here, by I think the black helicopters are on to you. Better post your opus now, before you’re zotted by the mods or worse, before we all get the dreaded message “This Thread Has Been Pulled - Reason: Just Because”.

Extra points can be acquired on the Hooligan threads by declaring to all that “Harleys Suck”® or by being the first poster to use the term “Donorcycles”® or “Organ Donors”®.

In addition, regaling us with stories of an uncle/neighbor/acquaintance who died a grisly death while motorcycling without a helmet guarantees instant thread “cred”.

My grand pappy drank a quart of whiskey and smoked 3 packs of cigarettes a day every day of his life and lived to be 121 years old!

extra points if yours is the first reply on the matter.

Your odds of pulling this one off are much better if you skip reading the article...

It was 1997, not 1967...

That's exactly what I was thinking.

You forgot the barf alert!

Be sure to put an 's for every plural and use "their" whenever possible.

Any computer problem can be solved by posting either a Linux penguin or an Apple logo.

You left off the period at the end of the last sentence.
