Walter Reed, Week 33: FREEPERS 29, ICE COLD PINKOS 11 (Join Us Tonight, Dec. 9!)

DC Chapter, Free Republic | December 9, 2005 | Albion Wilde

Darn pinkos. Standing in the cold with the goal of tormenting the honorable Walter Reed patients. Pinkos suck.
I was hoping Coop or someone would have convinced one of the pinkos to stick his/her tongue to a pole in defiance of President Bush.

[BillF]

Oh, wait. That was the wrong photo.

Those are sherpas on top of Mt. Everest. However, they are modeling the appropriate outerwear for the FReep tonight.

[BillF]

kristinn tormented them for not standing up to President Bush. He pointed out that they chickened out of their Cuba trip simply because of the letter from the Bush Treasury Dept.

Coop taunted them relentlessly. Among other things, he shouted "I'm not a murderer," which is what Crazy Backpack Guy said to him upon being asked whether he served in the military.

I shouted that the Pinkos could still make the Cuba trip. "Just swim to Cuba. Free healthcare, free education. It's a socialist paradise."

They didn't appear happy. Oh, that's right. They never appear happy.

No patient bus from Fran O'Brien's tonight, but we're not sure why.

Maybe the Fran O'Brien's program is on hiatus with many patients already back home for Christmas? Maybe you can check with your sources when you are back in the pink, oops, I mean returned to health?

We all missed you. Hope that you have a speedy recovery. Chicken soup, rest, and a lot of petting of Gipper and Landry may help.

[Albion Wilde]

Thanks!

Daryl Ankarlo BUMP!!

[Albion Wilde]

Another thing that folks can do to support our troops... is to go to www.klif.com for the "We Got Your Back" campaign... spearheaded by Daryl Ankarlo, who spoke at the second Crawford FReep. You have until 7 PM CST tonight to donate. They have an 800 number to call. (1-877-4DFWAID). They take most credit cards. The money goes to the families of deployed troops. You can donate new toys as well. The money will be used to buy toys for [the troops'] kids, or to help with other expenses...

Excellent idea, thanks! Something tells me they might still welcome credit card donations after yesterday's deadline, so pony up, Dallas-FortWorth FReepers and anyone else who hears this call in your hearts!

[Albion Wilde]

You all are simply THE best!

Come up and join us some time! Leftists on parade -- it's a little more boring than a trip to, say, any of the Smithsonians, but a lot less boring than a trip to the National Zoo!

[Albion Wilde]

We sang some cheers and songs of support for President Bush into their tiny pink ears!!

[Albion Wilde]

Important announcement:
The author of this report erred in omitting two faithful FReepers who were present: the extraordinary JACK DETH,
and the exceptional JUSTANOBODY, who has traveled OVER 100 MILES EACH WAY, EACH WEEK, FOR THE PAST 25 WEEKS to stand with Free Republic at Walter Reed on Friday nights.
I sincerely regret the proofreading oversight, and apologize to both Jack and Just.

If anyone else has been omitted, please speak up!

And this means that the
ATTENDANCE TOTALS WERE ACTUALLY 31 TO 11!

[Jack Deth]

Hi, Albion:

Sorry that I could not make it to the FReep tonight (12/09/05) We had a plane come in late. By the time we were finished with putting it to bed, it was almost 11:00pm.

Jack.

[3D-JOY]

Hooray for the Santas and reindeer, and even a Rudolph!

Still dreaming of MODELS?

[BillF]

Still dreaming of MODELS?

I post sherpas dressed in Everest-appropriate outerwear and comment that they are "modeling" the right clothing for our FReep this Friday, and you dare accuse me of dreaming of models? I left the room when an unnamed relative, who you met, started to watch the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show or whatever the heck it was called earlier this week.

Oh, the injustice of being falsely accused.

Your comment would have been apt had I posted the below, but I had NOT posted the below. (I'm just posting it now because you forced me to post it as to illustrate the point that I'm innocent of your baseless charge.)

(I'm imagining her wearing 7 layers of clothing including thermal underwear and I wonder what she would look like FReeping with us.)

BTW, is that enough of a flag that patriots are required stand at attention?

[BillF]

CORRECTION. Last sentence should read:

BTW, is that enough of a flag that patriots are required to stand at attention?

[BillF]

These models often reach peak performance, but occasionally run out of thrust before the height of desire has been reached.

[Just Lori]

You DC Freepers are the best! You are just the best!

[freema]

Good Lord, I had to backtrack to find out what in the world! ROTF!!!!

[freema]

Hit my head on the monitor, laughing so hard.

[freema]

Killing me, you're just trying to kill me. LOL!

Good Morning and SANTA CLAUS BUMP
