Did BK hit a bit of a masochist urge this morning or something?

I was thinking the presidential election for the federal super bowl. I also had a picture of Donovan McNabb doing a hula dance, but I wasn't sure if you could tell whether he was gyrating, and there was no hoop. He did have a lei, though, and was dancing next to a hula dancer. I probably wouldn't have got points for it, though. |

Could you define an acrostic? I wouldn't want to misinterpret what is intended.

Thanks. For judging purposes, will the haiku need to be in a 5/7/5 meter? Apparently there are examples on the web that don't strictly adhere to that.

I need to say that I just clicked on the Oz thread by mistake but backed out of it before I saw anything. Sorry.

I would stick with the traditional format of 5/7/5 as the requirement. I applaud, and hope the judges recognize, the tribe(s) that go beyond even that in adherence to traditional forms.

Okay, so it looks like we're wrapping up this challenge. Just to stir the pot a little...are there any secret alliances? I never saw survivor, but if there's one thing I know about it, there are secret alliances. We can't PM each other, so I don't see how they can form. But if some of you guys have managed to form any, let me know!

Team Helsing's poetry:
We chose our theme to be the 2006 NFL Playoffs. I hope everyone enjoys our poetry in honor of the clost of this year's NFL season. Limerick: There once was a QB named Drew, Who went to Dallas and played like poo. Romo saved the day, Cowboy saviour they say, Until the extra point snap flew through. Haiku: Twelve teams with one goal To win in the winter cold -- The Colts reign supreme. Acrostic: Playoffs never let us down Lots of cheers, cries, and frowns Adam Vinatieri kicking against old foes Young Chargers' fans cheering on the pros Offense was the key to the Saints' win Fumbling a snap was Romo's chagrin Five turnovers were the Bears' demise So we watched Manning claim the prize. Rhyming scheme: In week one the Chiefs were bums And Romo became all thumbs. The Eagles looked alive And the Jets took a dive. Vinatieri shined bright in week two And the Saints were led marching by Drew. Marty was Marty And DA BEARS spoiled Hasselbeck's party. Peyton took over week three Casting aside all the demons AND Tom Brady. Bears D came to play And Reggie and Deuce had to call it a day. Then it was time for week four Devin and the Bears sprinted through the door. Peyton didn't even bat an eye And at the end of it all the Colts were riding high. |

Oz's submissions Acoustic: Trials of a Villager Where would we be without this game? Everyone thinks the same. Regardless, we're happy to be here Except the wolves, who rather be chewing on ears Wolves are wussies Oh, how I hate the wolves Like I hate the Navy, I hate the wolves Forever. Limerick: Ardent’s Plight There once was a guy named Ardent Who went to a forum so he could vent He said, "I never lie" They said, "You do, you must die!" Poor Ardent was left with resent! 8-20 line poem with Rhyme Scheme (Shakespearan Sonnet): How We Came To Be It started when we came to the Sideline, To muse and talk about the game of Jim, Blacky left and SkyDog said “This is mine!” So he made a website for a text-sim. And that was how eff oh eff see started, SkyDog up front, Ryan S in the rear, The board filled up until someone farted, Then we voted someone out with a jeer. And that was how WereWolf was brought about, With no whistles and certainly no bells, No, there are no polls, there is not a trout, We vote to lynch WereWolves to save ourselves. We kill all Werewolves and their evil kin, And that is when we will finally win Haiku: The Hunter moonlit night in march werewolf footprints towards the woods blood drops on the grass |

Team Theme: The Life of a WW Player
Haiku: Evening and the Moon Bring out fur and fang and flesh I yearn for morning Rhyme Poem: Early in the morning, with fear in my heart, I check the boards and receive quite a start. Wondering am I alive or am I dead, PM indicator flashing - is it what I dread? How will it be? This terror the wolves send. Teeth tearing throat, or some other end? Wait, don't panic. Don't overreact. I open the message to see if I was whacked. I'm not dead at all. Oh thank the lord! We've just been exiled to our own spot on the board. "Werewolf games have moved" the moderator boasts. No longer a Grizzled Vet? OMG!!! PEOPLE LOST POSTS Limerick: He wanted to control the masses Cuz everyone acted like asses He needed some victims He focused on lupines And now it is wolves Ben harasses Acrostic: Lest you be chosen, You shall hide amongst the masses, Not so much that you are marked as...what is the word? Conspicuous. That is it. He who barks the loudest leads the charge, Even though wolves are often known to bark, themselves. Death awaits the most popular. The rest will hope to see another day.

Team Howard entries: Theme is FOFC
Acrostic: Just because his grammar is weak Blessed are the linguistically meek Maybe we should cut him some slack Al Davis would rank him at the head of the pack Go proudly JB, your Raiders look great I agree many wins will be their fate Careful though, until after preseason you should wait Limerick: Dean Houston was his name Quarterbacking was his game They say he was great And I don't playa hate But to me he sounds pretty lame 8-20 line poem with rhyme scheme: We may debate movies or politics We may complain about weather We may clamor for Pumpy pics But games are what bring us together FM, FBCB, BBCF, Second and ten Acronyms abound on our board FOF, OOTP, Puresim and Madden With dynasties that tell us who scored A game was promised like nothing before A thread was born that was pure gold Daivd Winters gave us beer tents and more But only a few copies of MF were sold The months roll on and the seasons pass A boxed HA sits with a trout up his ass Haiku: Question: what better Pumpy pics or Daivd's game Let debate commence |

It seems we are all on pins and needles here. We all did good though, it should be hard to score.

Are you saying my scores wont be fair? Do you hold my integrity to be in such low esteem as i would sabotage another group for my own personal gain?
