Milk! My heart beats to slipper ,
For corn is but dreams quips,
Hark, the damsel eats marshes,
Whilst butter sings alone
Flee this mustard sin,
That hell-mice made a kelp.
Go forth and tickle thine Pilzner,
Odorous canst but mumble .

I thought up the user name during one of my emo/poetic/beatnik moods. Still like it. Besides, if you could only caw, wouldn't you cry?

So glad you're still with us!

That's always a worry after a "I wonder what this switch does...", often you never hear from that person again.

Never been able to work out why.

Recognize?

Once upon a midnight dreary
I could smell the coffee clearly
over many a quaint and curious
ceramic mug in which it pour
where I nodded nearly napping
suddenly there came a tapping
a heated beaker gently rapping
steaming bubb'ling on the floor
oh my coffee is no more.

And in that puddle lies my soul
to be wakened up, nevermore.

They say the cake is a lie. I have been there and found that there WAS cake, and my Companion Cube.

The Companion Cube was my true freind. It never lied to me, nor stabbed me in the back. I was greatly saddened to have been forced to kill my Companion Cube, and am greatly gladdened that I did NOT actually kill it.

That was a bit too real for my tastes. . .

Weeping calamari,
Upon the midnight mocha,
Cast your nets through soap,
For Pintos are beaking turgid,
Smell the musty rainbow,
Fluff this warm pudding,
That blowtorches can but stipple,
For Norbert cries in tofu,
We task thistle to stromalite ,
And break the monkeys elven twist.

Is the seeker of knowledge the one who asks questions, or the one who finds answers?

If you stare too long into the abyss, the abyss stares right back at you. And asks "Don't you have a life?"

Alternatively

It's like staring into the abyss, and having the abyss fart in you face.

It's like staring into the abyss, and the abyss says, "Are you looking at me, pal?"

I tried staring into the abyss, but it was dark. I also tried staring in my neighbor's back window, but got arrested. What's that?

I've just been summoned by a knight of ghosts and shadows. See you at the tournament.
