Troll sighting confirmed, Jim!

This could be hugh! -Sam, let's have the IBTZ count.

.

.

.

Current IBTZ count is 24- including 9 mushroom cloud gifs and one picture of
Donald Rumsfeld with laser beam eyes and lightning bolts coming out of his left nostril.

.

.

.

No cats with machine guns?

.

.

.

No sir.

.

.

.

What about those two "We're doomed!" guys?

.

.

.

Nothing yet.

Do I have to think of everything?- Enable 'doomed' configuration!

.

I'm not sure, chief!

.

.

.

Idiot! I put in the years! I paid my dues! That should be me up there behind the wheel of the ZOT9000!

[Flotsam_Jetsome]

Thank You From a Grateful n00b Ping! I don’t care who y’are; that’s funny right there!

[tomkat]

HELP ! !

I'm stuck in an archived thread loop and can't get out !

Oy, seriesly !

[tomkat]

See !
You thought I was kidding.
It won't stop refreshing.
And it's making me talk to myself . . .

[lonevoice]

Roscoe Karns, you are one of a handful of FReepers to whom I could honestly say, “Dude, you don’t post nearly enough!”

[Roscoe Karns]

I’ll

[Roscoe Karns]

try

[Roscoe Karns]

to

[Roscoe Karns]

post

[Roscoe Karns]

more

[Roscoe Karns]

often!

[lonevoice]

YAY!

:-)

[JRios1968]

Anyone home?

[rlmorel]

Yes, there is ALWAYS someone home.

Spork Weasel: (Noun) Hand held device to remove stuck sporks from various machines in the manufacturing process.

No, really.

Okay, it is actually a small meerkat like creature with a colander glued to its head and held up by a balloon, but this is the Internets. We can define anything the way we like.

[Cyber Liberty]

I have it on good authority a spork weasel looks just like a rabbit with a pancake on its head.

[DCBryan1]

Ping for a good thread.

[Bullish]

[skinkinthegrass]

Aye, that! @ full speed. :-D

[theneanderthal]

So I’m really, really, confused and get all the way to post 200 before noticing the date. Huh? “I love this bar.” FR never ceases to amaze me.

[DCBryan1]

LOL!! Thanks for the Ping!

[theneanderthal]

Seems to be a realy good place to start a fundraising thread for the second quarter. The thread is classic old school FR.

FR=s discourse. Discussion. Argument.

Consensus aint happening.

Motivation is a product of discussion. FR rocks.
