impenetrable ever as before
her vault’s cold grey steel door
my mind’s-eye views at leisure
her pulsing golden treasure
you can call me a dummy
i still think you’re yummy
You may be ginger,
but you’re not a minger.
Just for you euoia.

"Here’s to you, Ms. Robinson
I’m smitten with the host of “Weakest Link.”
By Danielle Arceneaux
April 25, 2001 | The reviews of NBC’s game show “Weakest Link” have been mixed, but everyone agrees on one thing: The show’s British host, Anne Robinson, is a bitch. She’s a total bitch. And despite what the critics say – that she’s too mean, too British, too ruthless – I adore her. And judging by the show’s ratings so far, America is just as smitten with dear Ms. Robinson as I am."

“You are the hottest link. Hello!” (snaps fingers)
[/coffehouse beatnik]
I watch in quiet, contemplate
How insults fly about
The ease with which you dengrate
The grace you do without
Your endless questioning of IQ
Your ever-present brass
If a contestant met alone with you
They’de surely kick your ass!
Anne Robinson may be British :o , but please don’t think she’s typical. Most of us have good manners in this country (and intelligence).
Watch her stumble over questions she doesn’t understand.
By contrast, Jeremy Paxman, a TV interviewer, is ruthless in questioning politicians (they deserve it!). He is also articulate and clever, winning an award for pressing one politician who was desperately trying to evade the point.
That’s pretty good tradesilicon!
Oh Madam ! you leave me undone
Though I know not the pounds in a tonne
Please give me a chance
So we may elope to France
And in metric you can bear me a son
They said you looked
Like a librarian
But you don’t
You’re just a cow
Here’s to you, Queen of Rudeness and Pith.
For whom courtesy’s not common, it’s myth.
From talent misdirected
come insults perfected.
What an awesomely brutal wordsmith.
Dr. Laura’s got nothing on you,
Petty tyrant of all whom you view.
The commercials provide
enough of a guide
that your program I’ll always eschew.
While I do not approve, I’ll accede
that there’s something to learn here. Indeed!
Folks accept denigration
to reap reparation:
All obstacles fall before greed.
Mrs Robinson
You’re trying to seduce me
I know from your wink
I imagine you
wearing a black bustier
riding crop in hand
Your words cut down the
contestants, and they glow hot
under your sharp stare
I long to be your
Weakest Link. gazing at you
from the floor. Goodbye!
astro, glad you liked it, thanks for noticing.
Spider Woman - it’s nice to see you again! Sounds like you’re ready for another Limerick thread.
There once was a host of a show
Not very polite, as you know
She left each contestant
With a twisted intestin
From eduring fierce blow after blow
[hijack]Nice limericking!
The famed limiricist, TN*Hippie, is back, so it seems rather fitting to respond with them.
Please let me know if anyone starts a thread of limericks. I’m not on-line as often as I used to be.[/hijack]
Now, back to your regularly scheduled Weakest Link thread.
FAKE, FAKE, FAKE, FAKE, FAKE…
Give me an F-ing break!
Haiku? Sure, why not (like I’m gonna make RULES?).
I hope chill autumn
can inspire me to become
as cold as you are
Who’s faking?
