ode to the fallen fans of the cove

[milowent]

and, milo asks you to join in

Bree entranced us so
This last summer-time
Her expressions so intriguing
Her words, so sublime

Alissa so graciously
made this cove a home
A respite from the phorum
A place of our own

From P.Monkey to Swimming
Such threads we'd compose
As we witnessed the outing
of Jessica Lee Rose

The Bree Chat Disaster
The NotFiring of Yousef
Flemming, "t", & kehoe,
Even Silentgay put to rest

Cassie pled "Come and get it"
But we didn't go there
She was hacked by opaphid
And we didn't care

Now the passage of time
and fake ceremonies
has left us to weep
and decry all the phonies

Oh, our number has dwindled
but our spirit lives on
So let's pause to remember
those who have gone:

------
I'll start with the first:

tagclouds and poetry
and non-sequiturs
she started with raelians
and moved on to bukanators

novels and references
to all kinds of media
bluebeard and dune
a one-woman wikipedia

now the catfish are still here
but we no longer bring her
the cove's waters are less inviting
without noasinger
-----
tag, you're it.

(disclaimer - I'm not so poetic. This was a ten minute endeavour)

He left suddenly
In a blaze of denim
Words are his arrow
His destiny a phenom

Stories of Jess
And burritos
And a salad bar mess
Left us laughing …

Oh but he’s still a fan
And works on the ‘Pedia
He’s a reporter, man
In touch with the media

JayHenry is his nick
But maybe he’s Diddy
One thing’s for sure
He is very witty!

I'm not much of a poet but I will give it a shot a little later. Perhaps the appropriate beverage will help.

A word of explanation on Leslie's post: She, Jay, and I were in the offical phorum chat one day and Les and I were witness to (IMHO) the funniest bit to date on LG. Jay (in chat format mind you) told about when he was on a date with JR, at a burrito shop. Somehow the date went awry and he ended up punching JR in the nose. The chatting phorumites were stunned. I fell off my chair. It was just amazing... I guess you had to be there...

As for our Noa, well I just don't think I can express how much I miss her...

PS If Jess ever visited, I took care of 4 fallen phans!

<edit> Dang, this is the ode thread, sorry!

[milowent]

he was lightning quick with his witty wit
'bout capitalization cared not a bit
could take any newbie that had fallen flat
and make them a regular in the chat

he harbored intentions for young ms. katers
for kate and jess he scorched all the haters
with the cartoon bravado we all loved best
oh where can be our departed dr. quest?

[lesbrent]

Bailey’s Lament
An Ode to Bailey’s Mom

Is this the breal life?
Is this just fantasy?
Caught in a landslide
No escape from reality
Open your eyes
Look up to the skies and see
I’m just a poor dog, I need no sympathy.
Because I’m easy come, easy go,
A little pat, little chow,
Anyway the scents blow, doesn’t really matter to me,
To me

Mama, just licked a man,
Put a tongue against his hand,
He rubbed my tummy, now he’s wet,
Mama, life had just begun,
But now I’ve gone and chased the cat away.
Mama rrrroooooo,
Didn’t mean to make you cry.
If he’s not back again this time tomorrow.
Carry on, carry on, as if nothing really matters.

Too late, sleepy time has come,
Sends shivers down my leg.
Body's twitching all the time.
Goodbye everybody, I’ve got to sleep
Gotta leave you all behind and face the sheep.
Mama rrrrroooooo, (anyway that cat blows)
I don’t want him to die, but
I sometimes wish he’d never been born at all.

(insert wild guitar riff)

I see a little silhouetto of a fan,
Scaramouche, scaramouche will you do the Ceremony?
Robes and poor lighting, very very frightening to me.
Galileo, galileo,
Galileo, galileo,
Galileo and Pluto,
But I’m just a poor dog and my Mama loves Bree,
He’s just a poor dog from a weird family,
Spare him his life from this monstrosity.
Easy come easy go, will you let Bree go?
Denderah! no, she will not let Bree go-let her go,
Denderah! she will not let Bree go-let her go,
Denderah! she will not let Bree go-let her go!
Will not let Bree go-let her go,
Will not let Bree go let her go!
Bow wow, bow wow, bow wow,
Mama mia,mama mia,mama mia let Bree go-
Beelzebub has a devil put aside for Bree, for Bree, for Bree.

(insert wild guitar riff)

So you think you can pet me and look at your PC,
So you think you can love me, well, then leave them at AC.
Oh Mama, can’t do this to me mama,
You’ve just gotta get out, just gotta get right outta there.

Nothing really matters,
Yada, yada, yada
Nothing really matters, nothing really matters to me.

Anyway, that cat blows.

Happy Birthday Bailey’s Mom!
We miss you!
<edit> Bailey's a dog, right?

Nope - I'm back. But somebody better catch me up on everything I missed. Any drama?
