What is a beeber ?
A very high-tech device used by FreeRepublic moderators. Can be set to "stune":


...or in severe cases, to "ZOT":


And please, as with all powerful devices:

In his defense, al baby did NOT claim to have seen a beeber. He said he saw a beeber-like device. It could have been anything, a detonator, a poison pistol, a (shudder) game controller...

Ah, understood. Well, they're very often confused for one another.

Well, I did really screw the thread up with italics at the time.
And it was a rather serious thread.
And I was really really new.
*chuckle*
My HTML was exceedingly weak.
[Worse now with my typos.]
I needed the *stompy stompy* “This is how you do it instead” at the time.

Sadly, since the forum no longer requires hand html, many forum newbs no longer get that mentoring from older handles.

No, they usually cop an attitude about it.
:-/

Most of the alternates were a bit less risque at my grade school. Less School Means Fun Time etc.

Think we’ll ever run across anyone who will be willing to learn from either of us in the future?
The younger crowds out there are kinda different these days.

Maybe they need a visit of FredHelp instead?

Everyone has a tale of woe... about a week after I got the nerve to sign up (lurked since ‘98) I got sideways with A+Bert when he was *ahem* “under the weather” and he tore me a new one.

Cyber ended up teaching me html and other forum stuff afterwards.
It turned out better than I at the time thought.

Oddly, I never had A+Bert drop a bus on me.
Dunno why.
Maybe I didn’t bother him much?

No. And we should thank G_d for that.
