As Regret and I discussed on IRC, the continuing annoyance of Discordian new-comers mindlessly repeating tired old meme's in an attempt to be funny or to 'fit in' needs to be stopped. Given that they are getting these meme's from the PD, we thought it wise that every new version of the PD released should carry this small disclaimer at the beginning. We composed it in the form of a limerick, so that it can be matched to a catchy tune or sung in a silken voice at a whim. It goes as such:
"There once was a girl who was bored
She decided to try out discord
And quoth her each meme
Even ones that were lame
Until we brutally stabbed her multiple times in the chest for being so annoying, breaking both her major arteries as well as her poem's rhythm. Fnord."
We thank you.
:mittens:
"Meme" and "lame" don't rhyme.
QuoteThere once was a girl who was bored
She decided to try out discord
Her memes, they were lame
But she found instant fame
When we brutally stabbed her multiple times in the chest for being so annoying, breaking multiple major arteries as well as her poem's rhythm. Fnord.
My version
There once was a girl, quite bored
whom everyone always ignored
She thought she broke free
When she found the PD
But she showed up here and we treated her like crap, because her real problem was that she was an uncreative twit, which is why most people ignored her to begin with,
because you can't fix lame with FNORD.

Quite possibly the better version. Mittens to you, good sir. Now to get this in print...

I think this version loses some clarity about the repition of old memes. Not bad though.

Also pretty cool, but the same loss of message.

So full of fail, we did scream

Breaking both her major arteries as well as her poem's rhythm. Fnord."

excellent!
There once was a girl, quite bored
She decided to try out discord
It turned out to be IANAR,
So we just kind of ignored her until she went away.
