Having grown up in Joisey I often note at Toastmasters when I'm the Word Master, that a yawl is a gaff rigged schooner!
Of course when they give me that dumbfounded stare I always add..
Do you ketch my drift?

Sadly, the 3rd Quad-Annual Quadrennial Free Republic Inaugural Ball in DC has been cancelled due to lack of interest. There will be no refunds (seeing as how no tickets were sold - and none offered).
However, now is the time to begin planning a conservative offensive movement.
How many of you would like to attend a two day conference symposium, er "FReepmeet" regarding taking back our country? It's been suggested that if we do this, it should be held in a central location or airline hub like Denver or Dallas so a maximum number of FReepers can attend.
If not us, who? If not now, when?
Please post your ideas to the thread.
That is all.
Actually WACO (about 60 miles south of Dallas) would make an EXCELLENT message.
I see a vision of thousands of Freepers flying "NEVER AGAIN" flags, meeting and greeting and shooting next to the biggest American massacre site in the last 30 years.
Then I vote Culpeper, VA....not too far from Dulles, or Richmond DON'T TREAD ON ME!!!
St. Louis is centrally located, and costs in Missouri are below the national average.
As the song says, let's "Meet me in St. Louis!"
No Inaugural Ball? Ya mean I polished my two left shoes for my two left feet fer nuthin?
Same here...I’m in....Texas would be nice.
Why do we need to physically meet? We have the net we have all kinds of ways to communicate. It is just so much more convenient then flying over to see a much smaller group for a few minutes.
In games what we do is communicate through pop up messages using something like ICQ or Miranda which gives you multi different types of instant message capabilities. Then there is voice communication such as ventrilo or teamspeak for closer friends.
Then there is Skype that gives both IM and limited voice communication for free.
If you need to look at faces you can use different types of cameras either streaming or just a pic.

ping me if Dallas is a go.
I agree with the poster who said we need to organize on local levels and take back our country from the bottom up. The economy might not work from the bottom up, but politics does. We also need to infiltrate the enemy camps. It's the best way to know the enemy. We are many, and we could do that.
Wow! Thanks for the ping!!!!
I was in Waco this weekend. I hear people talking about them but practically every home and business have flags up. If it wasn’t so far I would buy a get away place out in the country.
Maybe Governor Palin could announce and endorse McCain's opponent in the next Senate primary. :-)
If you care enough to physically go to a place, and take the time & effort ....it shows a genuine interest in being involved.
Plus there are things a person can do face to face rather than cyberspace.
Vegas would be great! And I have never been to Bryce Canyon.
Count me in. (If it’s this summer.)
I would go for any place in VA. I’m also thinking that perhaps a smaller town would offer a better meeting place. Depends I guess. Do we want to keep under the radar or do we want to make a statement?
Good idea. Dallas in a not so hot month also great.
Then it's a plan! Just name the dates.
I don’t think we should have it in Chicago.
Mayor Daley will pick your pockets clean.
Just one example, sales tax in Chicago is over 10%.
And don’t even get me started on parking fees.
Michigan would be nice.
