Its all good. Not like we are running out of space or anything. I may have to start doing that myself, to bring the post count up, from my pathetic little three digits.
If you frequent the word association thread you could get your post count up pretty fast. 
Thaks for stopping by the limerick game. It’s going quite well, I think, though I’d love to see the pool of participants expand.
I ought to look at the word association thread. I keep skipping that for some reason. Of course, if the participation went too high, nobody could get one in, consecutive to the one they are responding to. And I see you have surpassed the triple-six count. So are you now no longer evil incarnate? What happens at 777? Redemption?
Abby, I got the book in the mail today. Go figure. I guess it is good you didn’t send it today afterall. I do appreciate the offer to send one yourself though. I still plan on asking you some questions.
I actually hit 666 in Satisfying Andy Licious’s “Ask the Guy Who’s Become Death, the Destroyer of Worlds” thread – I thought that was appropriate; don’t you? I wallowed in evil for a bit, then took a shower and resumed my usual persona. Oh, well, it was fun while it lasted, but I got tired of being blamed for everybody’s screw-ups. (“The devil made me do it!”)
the number 666 always makes me think of how my friend and i once started a ‘cult’ (actually all we did was talk in gibberish and wear purple on thursdays, but hey, we were 14.) during exams our freshman year on june sixth, or 6/6. we cherish the day every year.
I haven’t tried writing limericks aren’t they supposed to be a little bawdy? (I know I could go google for the answer. I don’t want to. I came here to hijack this thread and that’s what I’m gonna do. )Hands up everybody. (Prepare to do the hokey pokey.)
Limericks can tend to be bawdy. I think they slightly more often tend toward irony or simple strange humor. The last line is generally supposed to have a plot twist, if possible. At least that is my opinion.
At least they are somewhat easy to compose. I actually managed one last night in 30 seconds. I am sure that is a record for me. My usual goal, if I can’t manage the irony, is good placement of multi-syllabic words.
I haven’t tried to put “hokey-pokey” into one though. I think the last time I did the hokey-pokey was when I was young, and a roller-skating rink. Scary. Do they even have roller-rinks any more? That is so 70’s.
Small point of clarification: At least from my own recollection, I was never, at any point, a roller-rink. Although, I cannot recall the first few years of my life, so it is at least remotely possible I was a roller-rink at some point in the distant past.
I did the roller-skating rink thing in the '70’s. Which is NOT to say I “did” RotorHead… 
Lot’s of Hokey-Pokey, and Smoke On The Water and mirrored disco balls…
Disco. That reminds me. What was the deal with the Bee-Gees, and their high voices? Did anybody actually think that was manly? Did they have to take big whiffs of helium to accomplish that, or what?
Heh, we must be about the same age, as the last time I did the hokey pokey I was a young’un and it was the 70’s. I can assure you that there are still skating rinks and they still do the hokey pokey. (My son went to a skating party in the fourth grade, so I recently witnessed the phenom.) The main difference is that most the kids wear inline skates.
You put your right foot in,
You put your right foot out,
You put your right foot in,
Then you shake it all about;
You do the Hokey-Pokey and you turn yourself around,
That’s what it’s all about!
Oh, great – now that’ll be playing in my head all night. :eek:
Ah, I’m back from the liquor store and Boston Pizza now. Bought myself 1.14L of “Silent Sam” vodka… actually, I have no idea what I was doing in the store for so long Probably looking at all the different sorts of stuff they have there… Bacardi, Southern Comfort, Disarrono, Creme de Menthe, rum, tequila, etc., etc.
Mind you, this was the first time I’ve been in a liquor store… figures my first time should be on the eve of my 27[sup]th[/sup] birthday. 40% alcohol is definitely strong stuff… it’s going to sear my nose hairs off just smelling it. (as for what it does to my insides, I’m not sure I want to know) I don’t drink very often, so that bottle is going to last me a long time. (already having to correct more typos than usual, and I’ve only had a very little bit!)
I can’t remember when I hit post #666, although I remember what Spoz said once about it: “666 is the post number of the Beast, 667 is right next door to the Beast, and 668 is across the street from the Beast.”
F_X
So would you say I’m in the neighborhood, F_X? I’ll drink to that!
Wow. I’m not even in the same neighborhood as the beast. But I’m getting closer.
Join the rest of us, Flamstster. Join usssssss.
My old skating-rink is now a Baptist Church. :eek:
Like Flamster said about typos… :smack:
Now for our next annoying song:
It’s a beautiful day in this neighborhood,
A beautiful day for a neighbor.
Would you be mine?
Could you be mine?..
It’s a neighborly day in this beauty wood,
A neighborly day for a beauty.
Would you be mine?
Could you be mine?..
I’ve always wanted to have a neighbor just like you.
I’ve always wanted to live in a neighborhood with you.
So, let’s make the most of this beautiful day.
Since we’re together we might as well say:
Would you be mine?
Could you be mine?
Won’t you be my neighbor?
Won’t you please,
Won’t you please?
Please won’t you be my neighbor?
By Fred M. Rogers, RIP
So, that must kind’ve suck for those baptists, what with the disco ball flashing constantly in their eyes during the sermon.
Really and I thought Baptists didn’t dance, so why’d they have a disco ball?
