Okay, taking it one at a time: Custer: Do you know what "spinning a cakey" would be? It's not slang if it's that old so dialect is the term used. If I was a cat being threatend I certainly would not "puff up", I would tap 'em round the face and have done with it. Every idiot I meet who can't get their head round "just because I can remember lots of stuff very easily, doesn't make me smart.". My issue with the Bible is that I think it's a great LITERARY work. Kel: I never take offense EVER. The poem was pants-on-a-stick and I know it, in fact it was so pants, that you could have trousered an army with it. Why do I want any more friends? I could do with some enemies to counter-act the tedium. Also: Guile: Cunning, decieving. Both of them, would any of you to know me, would see them as an apt description. It's fun. Ogre: It's funner this way, trust me. And just a point: people are going to say they're "crap" as you so put it, Alec's posts in this topic have all been to this effect, and I am calling my own such. Maaya: I take criticism gladly, but have learnt that on occaision it's very funny to slap the critic back in the face just to see what they'll do. Hence. Aloreal: You have a good point. TTFN. Bleh, feh, meh. -------------------- I like to say quack because I can, I like to say moooo because I can, but I don't like saying ergle flmp because I can never pronounce phenomenon first try. In conclusion, quack, moooo and phenonemenonmenonnon... Oh Poo. http://s4.invisionfree.com/Ultimate_RP/index.php Try it! Posts: 1487 | Registered: Sunday, February 10 2002 08:00 |

quote:I am aware of what the word means. And I am also aware that on this board, at the very least, you cannot be described as possessing any of these qualities. They require some sort of concealed purpose, which you do not have. Your purpose, to be what you call "silly" and what others have called, well, diarrhea, among other things, is quite clear. If I may... "Also: Guile: Cunning, decieving." This sentence should contain a verb. It should not contain two colons, which is almost always bad form. Only the initial word of the sentence should be capitalized, not the words following the colons. The definitions should be the same part of speech as the word you are defining (so, "Guile: cunning, deceptiveness"). And at the very least, "deceiving" should be spelled properly. "Both of them, would any of you to know me, would see them as an apt description." The subject should agree with the verb (thus, as it stands, it reads, "Both of them... would see them as an apt description"). The word "would" should be replaced with "were," because it is a hypothetical and therefore a subjunctive clause. And arguably, the reference to "[b]oth of them" should be to "all three of them," because you are probably referring to all three qualities (guile, cunning, and deceptiveness). Sorry. I had to get that out of my system. And it's not my English teacher mentality; it's my English student mentality, and I have a right to it: I am a probable English major (though still undecided). EDIT: Oh, and by the way, on the original topic of this thread, I have a few slithy poems (see, when you know the rules of grammar, then you are allowed to break them) that you are welcome to as soon as my scenario comes out, which hopefully should be within a few weeks.

quote:I've never found angry men to be "sexy". Male anger is definitely NOT sexy as far as I'm concerned. I cannot state this strongly enough. Speaking as someone who was married to an abusive man with anger management issues, I found your comment to be extremely offensive. -------------------- We meet and part now over all the world; we, the lost company, take hands together in the night, forget the night in our brief happiness, silently. -- Judith Wright My website Posts: 512 | Registered: Wednesday, February 12 2003 08:00 |

Well now, Custer, I think we all deserve to hear a poem sprung from your pen after all this. If you know all the errors a poet can do, you should be able to create something potentially good. Knowledge isn't inspiration but I suspect it can take you quite far. And false humbleness isn't pretty. The above was composed of 1/3 wanna-be-smartness and 2/3 genuine interest.

"He was Custer when I first came here." "He was Custer when he first came here." There is a difference, just thought I'd point it out. -------------------- Chance Forums Posts: 1307 | Registered: Tuesday, May 7 2002 07:00 |

He was only Custer for a brief, misleading period of time before his underlying Alecness was revealed. ?Alorael, who will thank Djur for ceasing his spate of typo correction. Actual thanking is contingent on Djur's actual cessation of aforementioned activity. Posts: 14579 | Registered: Saturday, December 1 2001 08:00 |

Would you prefer I just came out and called people idiots? re: angry men -- some people are too easily offended. By the way, I wrote a poem. It's a love poem. -------------------- Beatoff Valley: A story told out of order. Posts: 999 | Registered: Friday, June 27 2003 07:00 |

I'm looking for a co-owner/assistant/secritary or what ever you want to call it. Someone to collect poems put them in HTML format. I also want some really good poets to join the force so if you are or know someone that is check it out. Oh and if we make it big time there may be some pay coming your way. -------------------- Getapc -------------------- The Flaming Sword of not perfict grammer has now become The Flaming Sword of Pretty Good Grammar. -------------------- Warning pretty good grammar behind.▓ -------------------- A guy with not so perfict grammer has changed to A guy with pretty good grammar. -------------------- I shortened my signature more.

I made a quick app for making a text file into a very simple HTML file. Right now, all it does is add <BR> tags in place of newlines. Either drag and drop the input file on the executable or manually type in a filename. It changes the extention for the output file to .htm, and for this reason, you should not use an HTML file as the input file (if you do, everything in your HTML file will be replaced with '<br><br>', which isn't good for you!). Just take the text from the output file and copy + paste it into the web page source. You can get it here. I hope that wasn't too confusing  Sure, it's lame, but it's better than manually pasting in all of the tags yourself. -------------------- -- Zell_1388 Posts: 13 | Registered: Sunday, March 28 2004 08:00 |

You use a marquee, the links are too bright for the background, the image's background is black and the page's is white, and the poems aren't on their own pages and aren't named or anything. Just my opinion. -------------------- -- Zell_1388 Posts: 13 | Registered: Sunday, March 28 2004 08:00 |

Okay, I've made two more poems: The Blackboard 1 + 4 = 10 2 x 3 = 11 10 / 2 = 2.22222... 1 + 6 = 10 2 x 5 = 13 10 / 2 = 3.33333... Multiply both sides of an equation by zero. Then for all solutions, will not zero equal zero? * * * Judgement Day That is my verdict in this court of law Calculated by men smarter than I That I am resigned to the place * * * ^_^ EDIT: Damn, forgot that we don't have [u] tags.

I didn't put the marquee up my friend did so it's gone. I'll change the links and like I said before I don't have the space to put a poem per page. I'll try and get them thier own page but I'll have to make some changes. -------------------- Getapc -------------------- The Flaming Sword of not perfict grammer has now become The Flaming Sword of Pretty Good Grammar. -------------------- Warning pretty good grammar behind.▓ -------------------- A guy with not so perfict grammer has changed to A guy with pretty good grammar. -------------------- I shortened my signature more.

Lives Evil by Mike Maguire Evil am I. Evil, as so to die not sane. Menace I lay. A stab mocks. I revolt. No din is still. I kidnap and I kill. It?s sin I don?t love. Risk combat. Say a lie. Cane men. A stone I do toss! Alive, I?m alive. ?Alorael, who cannot miss an opportunity to post this stunning poem, even if it isn't his. Just examine it closely. It gets better when you take a hard look at it. Posts: 14579 | Registered: Saturday, December 1 2001 08:00 |
