In praise of ffreak

[PAUL C]

may I say what a wonderful site this is.

ffreak saw my miserable attempt at putting a link to my stories after my name. Without my asking he offered his advice, talked me through it a few times, then did it for me when I failed.

Thank you.

Now all anybody who wants to read my stories has to do is click on the link. The rest is done by magic. I think it must be, for I do not understand it.

Well whaddaya know, it works!

/Ice - had already been there the cut n paste way

Dear Paul,
Now we of the hamfisted persuasion know who to call on. I hope ff works cheap.

People on here are always eager to answer questions and offer help. Just ask The Question and see what happens.

Ps. Some of us just aren't very good at practical stuff. To quote Terry Pratchett, "Put down that wheelbarrow! You know you ain't good with machinery."

 

[ffreak]

Real cheap. I don't even demand copies or originals. MG, you are not ham fisted. That is a rather tasty looking rump, though.

-FF (I think I'm getting a bad reputation here - I don't do this for money, folks, just revenge on my 4th grade teacher who said people don't like other people to stick their noses in where it don't belong. Obviously she suffered from a lack of French.)

ps. Honest to God, her name was Mrs. Hienie.

pps. Maths, you can call on me anytime.

Yep. Gotta agree. IMHO, old ffreak is a real human being. I don't care what all those other folks keep saying about him.

Dear Rumple,
There's carrying a thing too far, you know.

Dear Rumple,

You're right, of course. I have a tendency to get carried away while watching a double feature on TCM with "Support Your Local Sheriff" and "Blazing Saddles".

[ffreak]

Thank you, Maths, there may be a trace of sanity around here after all.

Rumple, nice try, but my Martian father would disagree redly.

-FF (he always was a hothead)
ps. on reflection, Maths, however, I wonder how far we could carry you, you're such a nice compact bundle.

 

[Rumple Foreskin]

Rumple, nice try, but my Martian father would disagree redly.

Okay, I'll amend my previous remarks by noting that despite all rumors to the contrary, ffreak may or may not be a real what-ever-the-hell-he-is.

[ffreak]

Thank you, Rumple. But if you ever figure out what-ever-the-hell-I-am, please let me know. I'd like to find out.

-FF

I've gone to look for myself. If I should return before I get back, keep me here!

Eff, in order to discover what you are, first discover what everyone else is.

You are thus what is left.

Raph, helpfully.

 

[ffreak]

See, I knew it. Every time I say thanks, other folks say: "por nada" cause that's all that's left at the bottom of the pot.

-FF (just your friendly local neighborhood computer geek)
Nothing from nothing leaves nothing. Ya gotta have something, if you're gonna believe in me.

 

[champagne1982]

Thanks!

This thread gave me a great new siggie line! Yay! ffreak is wwonderff... n/m he'll just get ffull off himselff.

in order to discover what you are, first discover what everyone else is. You are thus what is left.

Raff, that's rather profound, been thinking on it awhile. Makes me think of Lear's "Nothing will come of nothing," which gets proven wrong by the fair Cordelia (even though she dies).

I discover myself mostly through others, an amazing aspect of being human and loved.

sincerely, 'dita

 

[ffreak]

Gee, Carrie, I thought I was the only one with an ff key that keeps sticking.

You know the line about being full of someone is somewhat unfair. Women can be filled, but guys are just already full of it.

Oh, well. I can never get my fill of the wonderful folks here.

Perdita, mi amor, I could not agree more. I think I get far more from everyone here at Lit than I could ever have without you.

-FF (unstuck)

Dear ff,
Yeah, especially the kissy huggy stuff.

Woah. That'd deep, man.

Effffie eff eff: You da man!

Carrie, you made me grin.

[ffreak]

Kisses and hugs back at cha, MathGirl.

Lou Lou, you'd make any man proud to be your man.

-FF (feeling more grownie)

Or, as Sherlock Holmes observed in The Sign of Four, "How often have I said to you that when you have eliminated the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth?"

Deduct is what you wrap de duct tape around, deduce is what you do with clues.

Seductive (or seditious) -ly yours...

 

[ffreak]

As long as I don't have to go over the falls with Moriarty.

I'd much rather try that with Champagne (even if she is young enough to be my daughter - but what a lovely daughter she is, and bright, too).

-FF' (wait a minute, she isn't my daughter, it might be fun)

 

[MathGirl]

Kisses and hugs back at cha, MathGirl.

Dear f,
You didn't read what I said. I don't do K-H.
MG
Ps. Yuk. Ptui.

 

[ffreak]

I know, just teasing, it's only because you look so cuddly.

-FF' (squigglewig)
ps. OK, so I'm warped. I liked the cigar totin' baby in
Who Framed Roger Rabbit too.
pps. Still think you're cute in every aspect you've shown of your personality (not to mention your celebrity).
