Survivor: New Howard Tribal Thread (Tribal Council Due 10 PM Sunday)

[LoneStarGirl]

I love the FOFC theme. We should stick to big names, like jeeber, skydog, EF27, and Pumpy

[LoneStarGirl]

I am actually really good with poetry and rhyming to be honest, I love doing it in my spare time... so maybe this is something I can do well at and help us out a bunch

[path12]

My first try at haiku since like third grade:

The werewolf board where
You are encouraged to speak
The posts will not count

It is 5/7/5, right?

[path12]

I'd like to work f'n elitest into a limerick. But I think I might suck at the limericks.

I don't think it's limited to 5/7/5 anymore. When I was in high school that was the rule, but looking at several examples on the 'net, it doesn't seem like the rules are that strict now.

I'm working on a limerick right now based on Maximum Football, so I'll try to work that in.

[path12]

I'm gonna try an acrostic next I think after I get a couple things done here. So are we thinking that we should all just kind of throw some different stuff out and then see which ones we want to submit? I guess we just need to make sure we get all bases covered......

[path12]

P.S. I love the idea of a Max Football limerick. Be sure and spell Daivd correctly!

[Jonathan Ezarik]

I think the more we have to choose from the better.

[Jonathan Ezarik]

Here's my MF limerick.

A football game like nothing before
With Daivd Winters and beer tents galore
A thread of pure gold
Few copies were sold
But there's always MF-2 to look for.


I feel this is subpar. I like the idea (of course), but the execution is lacking. Especially the last line. It's giving me fits. I'm not too keen on the second line, either, but I wanted to include Daivd and the beer tents somehow. Hopefully some one can come along and clean up my mess.

[Marathoner]

Sorry guys, I sent in five link, the commishes had all the pics on one. That must have mean the last two weren't counted. I'll take the heat for this loss.

I really don't think it matters. I haven't gone back and analyzed the scores in detail, but I don't think we could have done anything to get past the two teams with six members (unless we had lucked out and found pics of everything no one else found). Now give us some poems!

[LoneStarGirl]

jonathan not bad for a first try... I have about an hour so i will try to put a couple of ideas together

[Jonathan Ezarik]

Thanks, LSG.

Let's not forget that the deadline for this is early tonight, 7 PM Eastern, so we don't have all night like we normally would.

[LoneStarGirl]

I think our accustic should either spell out howard, or barkeep... anybody attempted that yet?

[LoneStarGirl]

If i knew more about barkeep i could do the acrostic. I found a great website that helps you out. Unfortunately all i know is he coaches basketball and is a teacher

[Jonathan Ezarik]

Give it a try anyway. Maybe the rest of us can fill something in.

[Marathoner]

How this for a poem:

His dad was a famous Saint
Initially a champion he aint
He lost yearly to the Gators
And in January his team would be faders
A golden boy from Michigan was his nemesis
Watching him lose would induce emesis
He berated a liquored up Canuck
After 10 seconds I thought it would be another clusterf***
But he turned it around
Before they went down
At last he has won
Something Indy has never done
As he lifted the Super Bowl cup
I saw him say "Eli you're up"

[Jonathan Ezarik]

Nice use of emesis.

Unfortunately, it doesn't tie into the theme of FOFC.

damn it if i didn't draw a huge ass blank. Maybe barkeep isn't a great idea

[LoneStarGirl]

That was good though Marathoner... did he really say 'eli you're up?'

[Jonathan Ezarik]

An attempt with using HOWARD.

Here at FOFC
Ornery men and women
Waste time at work
And manage to have
Rather interesting
Discussions about trout

[LoneStarGirl]

I just wished I paid more attention to FOFC so i could write about it.

[LoneStarGirl]

the only thing is that the poem has to be about the word you are using. so it has to be about howard, or barkeep or whatever

[Jonathan Ezarik]

Well, that makes things much tougher. I guess Howard isn't a good choice, then.

I couldnt think of an E word to go with my last E.... there should be a space there

Having two E's in a row is tough to work with.

[Jonathan Ezarik]

We should try to use emesis as one of the 'E's.

[LoneStarGirl]

We need to think of some E words

[LoneStarGirl]

lol jonathan...uhm let me go look that up real quick

[LoneStarGirl]

act of vomiting? i learned a new word!

[LoneStarGirl]

lymerick -a kind of humorous verse of five lines, in which the first, second, and fifth lines rhyme with each other, and the third and fourth lines, which are shorter, form a rhymed couplet.


Any of us funny?

[Marathoner]

I like this one, it is based on FOFC and WW games:

A long time I have been on the sly
Some would say 'as if you were a fly'
I searched the main boards a couple times a week
In the Werewolf thread I never did peak
Finally I took a gander
Through the threads I did meander
On the survivor thread I took a bead
But apparently I can't read
I should take the fall
It's been nice knowing y'all

[path12]

Does it really? I thought it just had to spell out a word. Too bad, I really liked what JE put together with Howard. I was going to try and spell out Pumpy pics.

[Marathoner]

For the last E how about:

Extremely familiar with emesis (being a barkeeper and all)

Dean Houston based lymric:

Dean Houston was his name
Quarterbacking was his game
They say he was great
And I don't playa hate
But he sounds pretty lame

[LoneStarGirl]

Man, it's tough. Here's a derivation of that:

MF was going to surprise
A game that you could customize!
A thread of pure gold
Few copies were sold
But we can't wait for Daivd's next franchise

Ick.

I like it, Marathoner.

The only thing I would change is the last line: But to me he sounds pretty lame.

I think that fits the meter (is that the correct term?) of the first two lines.

Not bad. I wonder if MF should be used for the longer poem so that all it's glory can shine.

[Marathoner]

Are we using FOFC or MF?

[path12]

Alternative limerick:

In the mornings FOFC greets us
With a myriad of topics to discuss
From "what better AI"
To Family Guy
But they're all a bunch of f'n elitists

[path12]

MF is FOFC in many ways.....

[path12]

I have a line that is stuck in my head that I can't do anything with:

Leaves fall, seasons pass
Schmidty continues to have a bug up his ass

Only self-effacement.....

[ntndeacon]

Winding around the truth and lies
Eroding our numbers slow but sure
Reviled ones have the upper hand
Enjoying their advantages
Where are you hiding
O werewolves among us?
Leaning on patterns could lead us astray
For they can see them too.

[Jonathan Ezarik]

I'm going to be out for a couple of hours, but I'll be back well before the deadline.
