EE Limerick Competition: Deadline Nov. 30th midnight EST EXTENDED!!! SUBMIT THROUGH NVEMBER 30TH! Anything 1-18-08 can do, Cthulhu can do better.
Cthulhu can do anything better than you.
Just kidding. You guys rock.
Hear ye, Hear ye. It has been decreed that boredom shall not reign during Interlude. And so on this day we borrow from our Cloverfield brethren (and sisteren). It is hereby announced that here and now shall begin the Officially Unofficial Eldritch Errors Limerick Contest .
(We'll keep it here at uF so that limericks may contain OOG material. Basically, anything goes... but don't be a freak.)
Prize is TBD, as are the judges (probably me). Judges will not be eligible for the prize, which will undoubtedly be spectacular. However, judges shall be highly praised for their limerick-reading acumen.
Deadline for entry: November 26th midnight EST. Winner announced no later than November 30th.
Enter early, enter often.

There once was a woman who dreamed
The most horrible things, it seemed
After a camping trip
She gave DC the slip
She stayed in the mountains and Screamed

There once was an old farm dog from Cass
who was so nice he'd drink from yer glass.
He never left our side
except for that train ride.
'Stead he stayed home and licked his own...

I still miss our poor lucky five
But it's good they're no longer alive
For when Yog-Sothoth comes
Despite African drums
None of us here will survive
Some researchers went underground
And you won't ever guess what they found
There were cultists galore
And oh! all that gore!
All in the quest of some sound

The guys climbed the hill with the cart.
'Bout the time we had heard back from Art.
The whole vacation
Had no communication.
Then the PM's gave us a flow chart.

The story is called Our Cass Tales.
On a poster, held up with brass nails.
JD, DC, BA
N-R-Q-Z: foul play.
You might need to imbibe some Bass Ales.

Five campers drove out to old Cass
Where they met a lovely Goth lass
Very late that night
She shrieked such a fright
And the rest screamed their heads off en masse

In another reality
I dislike the SFPD
'Cuz despite the foul play
At the end of the day
They never looked for Marie
I hope for a product from sploit
He seems like he is quite adroit
For his big MMO
Burning dreamscape aglow
He could set it in urban Detroit
When your funny bone needed a tickle
Stu was your man - but fate's fickle
Strangeness followed him 'round
'Til he was 6 feet underground
But really - to die from a pickle?
When in Cass the tension did ratchet
Quite high - nothing really could match it
But the PMs should know
Next event that we go
I'll remember to bring a sharp hatchet

There's this GMD guy they call Clark.
He's turned ARGing and games into art.
It began with book one.
But book two now is done.
Can't wait for the next one to start.

There once was an old man named "Exu."
Who always found new ways to vex you.
The language he mangled
Esoterically entangled
As above, so below?

On Halloween day, it would seem
Our BA encountered the scream
This exposed an oblation
And a JPEG "mination"
Which to this day haunts sapagoo's dream(s)

The trickiest limerick alas
involves using the town name of Cass
and describing BA
in a flattering way
simultaneously not being crass

A mysterious young man named DC
Sent out packages and coins (not to me)
To mess with our head
Words were circled in red
And I *still* don't know what they mean
