Freeper Gigantor Goes Wild at 2005 Inaugural Ball (lots of pictures)

Gigantor

[Gigantor]

2005 Free Republic Inaugural Ball - Gigantor has a wild time!

[Sloth]

Everytime I've heard a conservative talk of meeting Al he's always been less than nice.

I bet his personality was, um, chemically enhanced by the time gigantor ran into him.

[daybreakcoming]

WOOOHOOO! FReepers clean up real good, don't they? You and your wife looked quite glamorous and all. Thanks for sharing the pics with us who are called envious. :o)

[shield]

Thanks. I don't understand why....I've never had problems with pics coming up before.

[MEG33]

Someone else had to turn off their zone alarm.

Come on Gigantor, you couldn't even put that beer down long enough to dance with your wife?? The picture of you, your wife and the Lone Star, how funny!

Wonderful pictures! Now to the other thread with the other pictures.

AL FRANKEN IS A BUCK-TOOTHED MORON

[sauropod]

We were there. Where the hell were you? ;-).

[sauropod]

Bellygirl.

[ChillChain]

You all just look Divine!

That was nice of you to be in a pic with Al Franken. I respect that in a person.

[Libertarian4Bush]

Bellygirl

are you suggesting that's belly girl? I'm confused. doesn't look a thing like her to me...

then again, I've seen two pics of belly girl before that look like two different people...

regardless, if I had been at the ball, this lovely woman would have needed a pointy stick to keep me away. :D

[Mr. K]

OMG- who is the girl in the gold dress?
stand in line Laz!

[sauropod]

I was being cute.

Nevermind...

[Libertarian4Bush]

I was being cute.

oh, okay... sorry. :) I didn't find it all that out of the realm of possibility that b-g would be there.

were you? I wish I could have made it, 2001 was fun.

[Libertarian4Bush]

AL FRANKEN IS A BUCK-TOOTHED MORON

don't hold back - tell us how you really feel.

[LowOiL]

Great pic, thanks for sharing...

What I can't believe is how much Gigantor and my brother (Bozzin on FR) look alike. They look like twins IMHO.

[Do not dub me shapka broham]

Heh.

The book itself didn't look too appealing, but I have to admit, they came up with a phenomenal title!

[Pharmboy]

Well done...sorry I wasn't there.

I remember hanging out with you, RR, Mitzi, Yahtzee and several others at the (I think) Lyin' King demonstration...you were there, right?

a Red "x"?

I think your pic server doesn't like hot linking.

You can post your picture with the above link very easily and quickly. Did I mention FRee.

"I can see the one in gold is really wishing that somehow I was there or she was here."

That photo tells the DNC where new Republicans come from!
(and I think the lady in black in the center of the photo might be a keeper as well...
but I am being respectful in case she's 'taken'!)

[sauropod]

Yes, I was there ;-).

[gopwinsin04]

Love the badges..

[martin_fierro]

That one of you & Franken is hilarious!

GREAT FREEPIN' JOB!

[ChadGore]

[Slip18]

Great photos, Gigantor! Thanks for posting them.

[uglybiker]

What Slippy said goes double for me!

[Slip18]

Always loves, ya, UB!

When are you coming over for dinner? It's been soooooooooooooo long since we've seen you!

Lotsa changes here. You know women.

Wish we could have gone to the Ball, but Cyber cannot stand the cold.

[Erasmus]

But you know the way things work out she'll probably be the wife of a freeper who's puffing out his chest right now as we speak.

Or checking the clip in his 1911....

< ]B^)

[Blowtorch]

Al would make a great conservative if he wasn't such a doofus liberal. Nice of him to get in the picture though. He's probably a fun guy to be around, politics aside.

Indeed I was - and I remember you!

[Gigantor]

Hey, we blew up the server! LOL!

[Gigantor]

Al must not have known his politics. Either that or he realized that a single punch from him could be fatal. Everytime I've heard a conservative talk of meeting Al he's always been less than nice.

I just approached him and asked if I could get a picture with 'the loyal opposition." He said OK and gave that hollywood smile - - right after the camera snapped the shot, he let looked at my Bush button and let out a little groan, and said, "Congratulations" and we all laughed. It was fun.

Also, only Red X's

Looks like we're chokin' the server. (better the server than the chicken......)

[Libertina]

ROTFLOL Oh this is going to be a GREAT thread!

Invisible man Gigantor goes WILD!

[Pharmboy]

Oh...and by the way...you and the Mrs. looked great!

[BrianNYPD]

Her name was Yvette!!! I established this fact early on!

[snarkytart]

Al Franken..

[international american]

Yeah, I have loved her for 4 minutes too!

[fiftymegaton]

BUMP to the girl in gold. Oh sorry for the vulgarity.

[texasflower]

Great pictures!

[RandallFlagg]

Ummm, I take it some of y'all found out she has a boyfriend or Husband? There's no way all of you simply gave up on this one (ESPECIALLY you, Laz!)
;-)

[snopercod]

I am wondering why whoever is hosting the original pictures you posted has set up their server (rfny.com) to force FReepers to disable their firewalls in order to view the pix.

Is someone trying to collect private data about FReeper computers, hmmmm?

[Gewittermädchen]

I am wondering why whoever is hosting the original pictures you posted has set up their server (rfny.com) to force FReepers to disable their firewalls in order to view the pix.

I couldn't figure out why they would not open on my computer but they would on my husbands...

[silent_jonny]

Excellent pics, Gigantor! Thanks for sharing them.

The expression on Franken's face is peculiar--were you jabbing a gun against his ribs? (lol)

[shield]

I felt much the same thing. Therefore, I elected NOT to disable my firewall to view the pics. I just moved on. Glad for your heads up on this; I mean give me a break that's why you have a firewall....geeezzzz!!!! No picture or pictures are worth that. ;o)
