Bet that's the only haiku ever written for him.
If you get Famspear started back on his poetry phase, you'll be fine a minimum of 1,000Q.
Inspiration could strike at any time.

Did I ever tell you guys about the time I walked in the conference room in a federal law enforcement office, and saw one of Famspear's poems taped up on the bulletin board?

You told me; you didn't tell everybody else.

I guess the Quatloos forum is the place where federal law enforcement personnel come for their poety, their literature, and their artistic and cultural enrichment.

AND HOOKERS!

Congrats, Famspear! You're loved by law enforcement. If you're lucky, they'll raid you.

Apparently not for grammar, though. :wink:

Ooops. Oh, uh, well, uh, no I meant to spell it that way. Uh, you know, like, I'm a "poety" kinda guy. Yeah, that's the ticket......

From unword.com:
Definition of poety :. (pō'ĭt-ē)
1. (adj.) poetry-like; something closely resembling the work of a poet. Often used derogatorily to describe bad poetry, rap, and self-indulgent spoken word sessions.

None of you hold a candle to Paula Nancy Millstone Jennings of Sussex whose poetry is considered to be the very worst in the universe.

She, it, everyone and everything else are scheduled to perish with the arrival of the Vogon constructor fleet when they demolish Earth to make way for a hyperspatial bypass.

The planning charts and demolition orders have been on display at your local planning department on Alpha Centauri for fifty years. You've all had plenty of time to lodge a formal complaint so it's far too late to start making a fuss about it now.

Dok, as someone who once kissed Douglas Adams, I have it on very good authority that my little sister's "Great American Literature" (a book she wrote on my toy typewriter when she was very young) is every bit as bad as that of Paula Nancy Millstone Jennings.

I memorized her epic, "The Slam of the Car Door" and still torture her with it.

Happily, as I pay my taxes and I'm not an attorney with idiot clients I don't have a lot contact with the IRS Collections people....

The Slam of the Car Door
is not just folklore
Believe me, for I tell no lie
I saw it with my very own eye
I heard it with my very own ear
I heard it far, I heard it near.
I looked out the door after school
and suddenly I saw a ghoul
On his hand was a glove of cursed red
He slammed the car door and then he fled.
If you do not think this is true
Then you will turn pale ugly blue
Your life will be such a bore
You'll slam car doors forevermore.
--by Cathulhu's baby sister Carolyn


Y'know, it makes more sense than most of Patrick's theories.

For bob's sake make it stop!!!! Someone must have put acid in the wires or something, we've had bad poetry outbreaks on at least three threads in the last hour!
