On this day in 1933, Wiley Post touched down his airplane in New York, becoming the first pilot to fly solo around the globe!
On this day in 1934, Public Enemy #1, John Dillinger, was gunned down in the streets of Chicago.
And on this day in 2004, the one and only Dashing Dasher, after slamming down 4 martinis, signed up on FreeRepublic.
These historic events have much in common. Wiley Post was a brave pilot, risking life and limb in a rickety single engine plane. Dasher is FR's resident pilot racer, tormenting her male colleagues above the western fruited plains. A Calamity Jane in goggles!
And Dillinger was a notorious gang leader, surrounding himself with violent criminals and ne'er do wells. Dasher too has become a gang leader on FR. She has lead JimRob's beloved website into dark places that make the upstanding citizens here hide the women and children.
She is many other things as well, too numerous to list in full. But they include: Conservative infiltrator in liberal San Fran, Toughie NJ bodyguard for those who get harrassed, Unofficial FR Dominatrix (with a growing clientele), and most importantly, the subject of poems and limericks from her adoring fans.
So on this Friday, July 22, 2005, let's raise our glasses and offer a hearty toast to this east coast bred California girl, and thank her for settling down in our corner of the world!
lumpy gravy?
;-)
HAPPY ANIVERSARY!!!!
"Love is a Many Splendored Thing.........."
Splinters?!
*It's what went through my noggin when I read that...UGH*
How did I forget you PING!
Happy Anniversary! ;)
Tell him I said hi then. And that he made a terrible James Bond villian! ;o)
Nothing has been the same, and she hasn't even been banned yet!
But will she remember us when she's rich and famous??
She's a spicy little dish, huh?
That was a compliment to her, I assume! LOL
ZZ Top wrote a song about her:
She's a HeartBreaker
She used to drive a beat up pickup
Down around San Antone
Stealin' the heart of every guy in town
Includin' the one I own
But this sweet young thing of seventeen
Would sting you with the lovesick blues
Just a blonde haired blue eyed picture of sin
Lookin' for someone to use
She's a lover 'n fighter, she's a wild bull rider
And I'm wonderin' why she left me such a long time ago
She's a heartbreaker, she's a love taker
She can break a heart and take all the love she needs
Well I heard she got down in Beaumont
And she wound up in El Paso
She was tuff as a boot and thin as a rail
And she could step to the cotton eyed Joe
If you run across this flagrant fuzzy
Slip in and get her while you can
Cause before too long she'll be good as gone
And runnin' with another man
She's a lover 'n fighter, she's a wild bull rider
And I'm wonderin' why she left me such a long time ago
She's a heartbreaker, she's a love taker
She can break a heart and take all the love she needs
LOL. Before 8:00 AM, I believe!
We like you. We really, really LIKE you. ;-)
We won't let her ever leave. Kinda Hotel California-ish around here!
I wanna just run my fingers through that hair.
That's our girl! ;-)
So...your baby just turned one!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, Dasher!!!
