A thread on EZboard made me think of this...my husband teases me all the time that the government is watching me just because I have MY name attached to a forum that has the word "RESISTANCE" in it.

So, for the sake of the government, while I set up the forum, I am NOT the RINGLEADER. Infact, while I may appear to be a Conservative Religious wacko far right wing militia gun owning Anti Government Conspiracy theory Y2K fruitcake...I really am just a harmless meek law abiding sheeple who would never think of overthrowing any tyranical freedom bashing communistic administration. Never! Not me.

However, there are some very suspect people on this forum - and I'm doing my duty as a good citizen to keep an eye on them and I will duly report all their suspicious activities to the local authoritys, so they can confiscate their fruitcakes and catapults accordingly.

All of you must now pledge your allegience to the FRL..er..I mean stinking..er..nice Government..to prove my point. Thank you.

You misspelled "authorities" in the next to the last paragraph.

Please don't make all of us weirdos luk like we can't spill.

Huh, so I did. I guess I'll have to report myself for termination now. Can't have uneducated masses. Darn!

-- kritter (kritter@adelphia.net), July 23, 2000.

Kritter, it doesn't actually say Resistance (just FRL) in the title... which makes us just more suspect, right?

I live in daily dread of the RCMP making me their next 'man' to get! :-)

Sheesh! I thought I wouldn't have to be making any more addresses but this thread calls for it!

Attention FRLians! The FRL will now come to order for official beeswax.

In the beginning there was the TB2K Forum and a silly fruitcake thread.

And we said let there be the FRL.

And there was the FRL.

And it was good.

That is how the FRL started way back in December of 1998 when the first "FRL Thread" was posted. Since then, we FRLians have continued to exemplify and extend goodwill and FRLian Spirit to all those who find their way to us. Indeed, ALL have been welcome that want to share in some good clean fun and take a break from life's daily challenges and trials.

And so we have survived, even prospered - in the knowledge that our FRLian brothers and sisters and Aunts and Uncles and friends and third cousins twice removed have all shared out common FRLian idleness as we celebrate our Fruitcakian Fleedoms. We look back on a past that was filled with uncertainty and forwards to a future that is filled with hope. We do so together.

Long live the FRL! Long live our Fruitcake Fleedoms!

The FRL will now go back to being out of order.

Rob, oh dear and glorious leader, you know I rarely make a nasty comment about your (rare) officialdoms... but...

Fruitcake Fleedoms????

EEeewwwwww

-- Tricia the Canuck (jayles@telusplanet.net), July 24, 2000.

Hey, if you let your fruitcake run loose thru the tall grass, it's bound to get flees.

(P.S. - Dear FBI, Rob Micheals IS the Ringleader you were looking for. Please remove the tap from my phone, the clicking is making me paranoid.)

-- kritter (kritter@adelphia.net), July 24, 2000.

While I was away from my desk, the FBI might've sneaked in and bugged my fruitcake! Argh! What am I to do?

-- (kb8um8@yahoo.com), July 24, 2000.

I think I have been the recipient of an attack by a chemlawn or something. I just came in from mowing and I have welts (whelps? whelts?) on the backs of my knees and a few other places. They itch like mosquito bites, but don't look like them.

All the rest of you better watch out if you go outside. I think it may be some kind of ray they got from the illegal aliens. Maybe they smuggled across the Rio Grande. Or maybe Castro traded it for Alien Gonzalas. Next time I mow I am wearing tinfoil.

Take no chances!! They are everywhere!!

DO YOU HEAR ME!? EVERYWHERE!!!!!!!

But Kritter, "Resistance is Futile." Did not Locutus/Picard-on teach you anything? ;) Apply the fighting principles of Akido, glasshopper...Their momentum is your power.

Choose your battles, etc.

I thought one of the real classics on TB Classic was the introduction of Timebomb Bingo! Remember that game? Whoever first spots five words from THE LIST and shouts Timebomb Bingo! wins. (It may have been during our Echelon discovery phase.) As an example, just about every other word in kritter's first post would qualify. Gee, thanks for nuttin', kritter!

What we need to find out is whether the words "FRL" and "fruitcake" have been added to THE LIST. That should tell us whether we are being monitored.

Oh, and before I forget and someone else jumps ahead of me...

...................TIMEBOMB BINGO!

Gene, then again, it might be fleas...

-- (kb8um8@yahoo.com), July 26, 2000.

gene: You have whelps on your hindermost parts?! You better get them spayed, er sprayed!

-- Linda (gene's got chiggers @home.com), July 26, 2000.

Hmmmmn ..... which end of a ring does the ringleader lead? (They are kinda round you know....going round and round and round and round and round .....)

Do we now have Fleedoms fleeing fruitlessly flying lawmovers?

-- Robert A. Cook, PE (Marietta, GA) (cook.r@csaatl.com), July 27, 2000.

Is that lawmovers or lawnmowers chasing the Fleadoms?
