An alphabet soup of initials
Proved their threat to be just superficial
JD, BA and D
even cultist DC
Who couldn't fool Forsythe officials

Many thanks to the whole EE crew
For most excellent books one and two
It's affected my life
Lost my job, now my wife
Through her lawyer says BseeingU.

Biff! Wow this guy is a player.
Even went camping to meet the soothsayer.
You ask what's in a name?
I'm thinking. well with this game...
I'm calling it "Biffy The Yog Sothoth Slayer"

A friend of ours calls himself Howard
He seems to be rather a coward
We prod him along
Beg him to be strong
We hope he'll become superpowered

(giving in to the pressure, even though I am really terrible at limericks) Razz

Dude, you simply must translate Smile I'm both dying to know what it says, and too lazy to do it myself.

I'm probably going to be judging, so these won't count, but I couldn't stay away... so here's a quick attempt or two.


---------------------------------------------

One of us got somewhat OBSessed,
and had to be banned from the rest.
He works for Lopez
and must do as 'Pez says,
or get canned and be MORE of a pest.

---------------------------------------------

Yeah, yeah, This Is (Only) A Game,
So this sounds undoubtedly lame,
But I get verklempt when
remembering Jen...
Without her, SO's not the same.

To the mountains 5 sentries were led
Where a scream had them leaping from bed
They arrived home to find
That folks playing online
Were collectively scratching their head.

(feel free to rewrite this using the town name instead)

Never mind, I'll do it.

five of us took a long drive to Cass
Rode a train up a steep mountain pass
Spent the night with the dreamers
DC, hidden, and screamer
While Art Lydney was busting his ass.

So I was going to write up a few verses for all the major events and post them all together....but since lovek didn't provide a limit to the number of entries i could put in, i'm going to go ahead and call these three a 1st submission

There once was a fellow online,
Who was searching to find a good time,
But on Craigslist he found,
Not a hooker to pound,
But instead got B.A. Saint-Feline.

Now this fellow was fit to be reaming,
and the posts of this chick and her dreaming,
got the fellow all hot,
so he wrote her alot,
and soon learned of the boil, and the screaming.

Now this fellow was clumsy at Dating,
but, in hopes of a proper Fellating,
he traversed the dream city,
through smoke, fire, and kitties,
and Cultists so fond of Oblating.


EDIT: After reading the ones you guys put in, i wonder why it never occurred to me to write a clean one....

..go figure.

The mod by the name of theMagician
Developed a tragic condition
He went quite insane
And ripped off a bird's brain
And now requires the care of a physician

theMagician quite suddenly said:
"They do not have to stay dead!
It's symbolic! A key!
Remember Dedi!"
Then he went and ripped off a bird's head

As they nodded off in their racks,
Caroline waited for them to relax.
Then BA let out a Scream.
No more sleep, 'chance to Dream.
All awoke to find Map with an ax.

"Obs, Mar, and the rest"

Once there lived two asses
One with Mohompador, the other glasses
They would bitch and they'd moan
They would laugh and they'd groan
As the others gathered in masses...

Their antics were pure and wondrous
And their egos, sure, humongous
Two sexier beings there were not
And haters, there were a lot
Only hiding their love and their lust

Name that tune in 2 verses

Book1
We discovered the Outpost infection.
Found a finger and plea for protection.
Watched our friends' elimination.
Interrupted an oblation.
Sent in dreams to Give BA direction.

Book2
Exu's letter and map would excite us
Riley's docs were found on insolitus
Sentries camped on a peak
The scream made BA weak
Nyarlathotep's pics served to unite us

Obs Limericks, Take 2:

There once was a forum of scholars,
Where for hackers and crooks, they made collars,
Until out of the Blue,
Came Yog-Sothoth and crew,
and my god, how they made them all holler!

The Old Sentries were mourned in their passing,
And while Howard was off candy-assing,
The Sentries Nouveau,
Told Chorazos to blow,
or they'd give his poor ass such a lashing!

There was tension and tumult a-plenty,
As each stranger became a New Sentry,
Some were open and kind,
others angered and blind,
and intent on ensuring their safety.


This batch rated PG-13.

Brian recently posted on Schmeldritch,
Announcing this contest was held, which
(while we're sad they can't join)
might earn the winner a coin,
making quiet his/her loudly yelled-b*tch.
Quote:
PLACEHOLDER FOR MORE APPROPRIATE ENDING


(BTW, as of now, there is no GMD swag associated with this contest Wink )


There once was a guy named Miguel.
Played a dude named DC and did well.
Is Devon good guy or bad?
Part of some "new hippie" fad?
Miguel knows. For the rest, time will tell.



That's all for now. Very Happy

More:

You: Not giving a clue
Me: Not believing it's true
Waking up screaming
Uploading your dreaming
Signing them "bseeingu"


I'm searching in Craigslist online
Looking to find a good time
I see all of these ads
With drummers gone mad
I cry out: "WHO IS SAINT FENLINE?"


D.C. is someone we relish
Although his cult is quite hellish
Paintings galore
Camping and more
And doing it all in Arablish
