Barry, The Real Old Model

Ours

Oh Lordy Lord Lord, have I died and gone to heaven?  This person lives in our very own Toxic State and my heart is bursting with pride.

Here are a few of his posts.  Every night when I lay my head and say my prayers, I respectfully request that another post from this gentleman make its way into my inbox.

We’ve just appointed him mayor of our “What’s He Building In There?” category. You can just call him the Real Old Model.

Our Bitchin’ New Page

Source

We get all sorts of comments…all the time.  We like to find a niche for all of them if we can and so we unveil our “Mod Pod” page.  It is a repository for all things related to the people who moderate the Freecycle boards around the planet.  Most of what we receive are complaints about the mods but we know there are some rather awesome mods out there as well.

Moderating is a tough job, dear readers…making sense of and keeping track of all those incoming and outgoing emails while trying to stay within the Freecycle rules and regulations ain’t no piece of cake.  Freakcycle knows this pain well. For the love of our blog, we view about 400 posts a day and some days we wanna die of boredom when we don’t get any standout posts.  These poor souls have to deal with ALL of the business, not just the fun stuff, like we do.  Shout out to the moderator denominator!!!!

Anyways, take a moment to see the new page and offer suggestions if you’d like but be sure to do it in the comments section on that page.  Enjoy.

Freecycle’s Got Jokes

Image by Stinkie Pinkie

Freakcycle has a Facebook page and so does the Freecycle Network.  Freakcycle’s got 34 fans and the Freecyle Network has 21,957 fans.  Needless to say, we have a bit of catching up to do.

Are they funnier than us?  Maybe not.   But they are do-gooders and we like that. We are make-fun-of-ers and do they like that?  We dunno, but we like it.  What we do share is a love for recycling and a good laugh from time to time.

Two things you need to do.  Check out their Freecycle Funnies section because well, there’s some silly stuff on there and we picked out three of the standouts to share and while you’re on there, fan us up on Facebook because we need some help bringing our numbers up. We’re taking you on, big ol’ Freecycle Network with your 21,957 fans…watch your back!
