Of course, it's not (that) funny, but there is a long tradition at FR (going back years) that LIVE threads are going to get spammed with standard jokes from the FR lexicon. Just ask Howlin.
Taking showers. Stuned Beebers. Bush's Fault. A moose bit my sister. It would be silly not to expect these things. They're like a tradition.
Anybody who remembers the OIF threads knows that multi-day live threads are going to have long dead periods followed with a flurry of real news. I think it's unreasonable to expect that the slow periods will not get filled with "Freeperisms". There will be many hours between now and Saturday where nothing is happening.
It was during one of these dead periods that we discovered the legendary "Achmed Vila". Funniest dang thing I've ever experienced. In the middle of a WAR!
Just my .02 . Silly jokes have a place in a multi-day live thread.
I personally am partial to "unnngh".

big bump
"comic relief"
Sometimes people around here act like a bunch of "tight" you know what's, don't they?
There is an ebb and flow to these threads.......and while we're posting, we are MERGING into the community that we are.
Now, I might bash your brains out on another thread, but today, this week, figuratively speaking, you are all "my friends."
This is what we "do" on FR -- and as you all know, the live threads are my favorites -- for that very reason.
It is FR at its very best.
