Operation Infinite FReep: Colorado Style, 11/2/02

A well dressed crowd of patriots enjoyed an hour playing in the snow and Supporting Our Troops on the corner of Mulberry and College Ave in Fort Collins today. The weather wasn't bad at all, the sidewalk was clear of snow and the sun was out. The good citizens showed a tremendous amount of support today and horn honking was spreading throughout the lines of cars at the light......

[Trteamer]

Freepers in attendance were BikeTrash and family along with Trteamer. Jim, Joe, Terry, Terry #2, Leon, Harry, The "Girls" and other veterans represented the VFW today. Paul played on the bagpipes and was excellent, did you know that once you warm up the bagpipe that it sounds REALLY good in cold weather! Well it sure did! We have such a great crew of dedicated people, I am so proud to stand with them each week.

We got 6 inches of snow yesterday and the temperature today was right around 30 degrees. I just dressed like I would for goose hunting and it was toasty, and fun! The roads were clear and the public was again trying to create traffic gridlock at our intersection.

We had several Viet Nam Vets stop by today and chat. One vet lost his leg 35 years ago on Wednesday and thanked us, he was promptly thanked back. He told us he knows war only too well, but understands the purpose behind going after Saddam. He then proceded to cross the street right through the middle of the peace-nik crowd, and was not too happy with their ignorance.

My digital camera had low batteries and the cold didn't help, but I did manage to snap a few pictures before it died. Here they are for your enjoyment....

Leon did admit afterwards that he was a little bit frozen towards the end. The public loves to give him a "honk" !

The VFW "Girls", I think they really like facing off across the street from the useful idiots.

The traffic was heavy, the sun was out, our spirits were high, A great FReep once again developes!

Son of BikerTrash with his sign "GIVE SELF-DEFENSE A CHANCE", he was wearing his green belt karate outfit and had fun actually playing in the snow.

How NEON signs jump out at you when the sun shines on the snow!

I didn't get any group pictures or any of the useful idiots today, Sorry, I'll get lots of batteries for next week! Speaking of the idiots, they made up more stupid signs and looked as pitiful as ever. The "Women in Black" were over there with thier very informative banner that reads "Women in Black". I prefer to call them the B...... in Black, you can probably guess what the "B" stands for!! How unhappy they look, how stupid they all look. The girl in the "Grim Reaper" outfit once again did her "I am Stupid" dance to the bagpipe music. We all crack up when she does that.

Once again the Infinte Freep keeps FReeping on!! Thanks to all who attended and a special thanks to our Troops! This FReeps for You!!

All the Best

BRRR! Tell me, how do you dress like you are going hunting? I am trying to figure out how I can go out on Friday nights and not freeze in California?

Loved the pictures of you great patriots on the snow covered streets. I still have to say I love Colorado, snow and frigid temps and all!

A big thanks to all of you for getting out there in spite of the weather and showing such enthusiastic support for our wonderful men and women who are risking it all for us!

Colorado Freepers Rock!

[bluesagewoman]

OH, WONDERFUL report! The pics bring that old song to mind, "I'm FReeping in the snow, Just freeping in the snow." Way to go!

Your Grim Reaper Girls don't sound too pleasant to deal with. Thank you for supporting America and facing the maroons every week!

P.S. I better not tell my husband what you said about the bagpipes. He'd stick our cat in the freezer.

P I N G ! !

[Trteamer]

It hasn't made it to slush yet, too bad! The snow was not good enough to make a snowman to hold our signs, oh well. We will all hold our breath for the Election on Tuesday. See you next weekend!

OMG .. Is that SNOW???

[Trteamer]

Well ladyinred, in case you ever take up goose hunting or need to saty warm in FResno here are a couple of tips.
Layers, lots of layers.

Start out with polypropylene sock liners followed by heavyweight wool socks. Turtleneck shirt, jeans, wool sweater, fleece coat, thinsulate fleece hat, thinsulate bib overalls, Sorel felt lined boots, wool army gloves. ALL in catail camoflage of course!!LOL!!

That should cause heat stroke in FResno, but works well for me at 30 degrees or so. Oh how I like to tease you in FResno about your California weather! Please don't freeze.

Thanks for the support of our support.

[Trteamer]

I learned another interesting fact about bagpipes. If you soak the reeds in Scotch Whiskey they won't freeze up on you!LOL!! Its True! I assume also that bagpipe players never freeze up!

[Mo1]

The girl in the "Grim Reaper" outfit once again did her "I am Stupid" dance to the bagpipe music. We all crack up when she does that.

Sounds interesting .. LOL

Great job on the Freeping .. Go Freepers!!!

[Pookie Me]

OMG .. Is that SNOW???

WHAT'S SNOW???

I have a better one, I'm working on my tan for Christmas..

Pookie & Me

[Doctor Raoul]

Thanks for doing that on such a cold day.

[BikerTrash]

I've been crackin' up all day about all the work one of the idiots put into her "Blessed are the peacemakers" sign, evidently not knowing we've had a sign for months now that says "Our Troops ARE the Peacemakers." We made sure that sign was pointed at them the whole time...lol!

How does that old song go again..."Why do you think they call it dope?"

[Trteamer]

That was funny about their sign wasn't it. We had a perfect comeback sign ready to go.LOL! Thanks for coming today, it's always great to see you and your family. We'll do it again next week!

[Snow Bunny]

BUMP for my favorite State and some wonderful FReepers supporting our troops!

I wish so much FallGuy and I could be there. I sure am honored to know all of you.

[ladyinred]

Thanks! My gosh, I am not sure we can even buy all those kinds of things in California! I understand they have electric socks but I am not sure where I can plug them in on the street corner!

I can promise you this lady doesn't go hunting except for sales at Macy's, but I really do appreciate the tips for staying warm outside. I don't want to give up freeping the creeps until Spring, so I will see if I can find the clothing you mentioned here somewhere! Thanks a lot!
