Ok, so I liked the haiku gaming thread, but people hated me and BadBeast spagging it up. I'm ok with spagging here. Mods, if you want to move this elsewhere let me know.
Ok- Standard limerick format. Rules are as follows:
Poster posts one line of a limerick. Poster of line 5 has the privilege of posting line 1 of the next limerick, unless approximately two days passes with no posts. Then it's up for grabs.
Just so no one gets annoyed, there can be back and forth between two people for the duration of two full limericks. At that point, those two have to sit out for one full limerick, unless a week passes without post, at which point, spaggotry in spades may commence.
You cannot add the next line after your own regardless of how much time has passed.
Since it's a limerick, I'll start the first line in Limerick City's honor:
There once was a lass from Stab City
There once was a lass from Stab City,
who unusually, had but one titty,
and her nipple was hairy,
and leaky, and scary,
but apart from that, she was quite pretty!

Fucking wow! I intended it to go something like: Twid gives line 1, BadBeast gives line 2, Cram gives line 3, or something like that, but that was pretty good. We can continue with poster pitching line and poster after taking that and giving whole limerick, as has happened, or we could go with my original plan. Either way, I am very pleased with outcome so far. BadBeast, You completed the limerick, so you can pitch line 1 of limerick 2 if we decide to keep to these updated rules
How about just posting the general theme for the next one, rather than the first line? (in which case I'd suggest "life on the Farm")
Just for a little less rigidity, or maybe just one word, that must be used in the first line? Only suggestions though, I'm easy.

Hmmm, I like it.
My original intent was to have a sort of chaotic outcome, but this works too.
So life on the farm it is. Go to it next poster (which may be me after some rumination)
There once was a man named Neal Horsley
Who ran for the Governor of Georgy
He stepped up to the mule
Cuz he thought it was cool
And said, "Everyone does it, of coursely"
Next topic:
Had that sort of long ass day where you have to run all over the goddamn place.
My 40th errand today,
was delivering deodorant spray,
to a stinky old trout,
with distemper, and gout,
and a stench that would make Satan pray!
There once was a man on the moon
who with the aid of the juice of the prune,
a flexible trowel,
and two badly stained towels,
created his very own Dune.
Since no topic was given, I went science fiction.
Next topic: The oil spill.

Extra points for Frank Herbert reference.
Love that book, and some of its sequels.
One day, whilst prospecting for crude,
BP got their oil pipe chewed,
now their share price has dropped
cuz their gusher got popped,
and the East coast is slippery and screwed.

Tea Bags as in American political morons, or tea bags as in the dregs in the bag in your cup of tea?
There once was a hole in the earth,
from which oil crude did forth burst.
It's killing the Gulf,
all the animals and stuff,
They don't make a big enough hearse.
ETA: Damn, BadBeast got it first. :argh!:

All limericks submitted will be taken into consideration.
Since it's my thread, I'll pick decider of next topic, unless I want to give it up to vote.
If I choose neither I'll say next x-number topics.
Hmm, this could get messy, but I like it.

Freeky- propose next topic.

Let's go with actual tea bags. (Unless someone has a really good Tea Bagger limerick).
Plus whatever Freeky pitches.
OK, Beverage tea. (English Breakfast)

Not Darjeeling?
Edit: "Earl Grey. Hot." Chai, etc.... lol
BadBeast, I may have to go to the store in the morning and remind myself what English Breakfast tastes like.
same as it always did, (A cup of tea, a cigarette, and a good cough)

Meant to send this as PM but:
It's like 6:15 in the morning there. Are you a night owl or just wake up early?
Somehow can't send.

What I've always gotten at my grandparents house was either Salada or Lipton...
:shudder:
And when I'm over there I usually go to the coffee house and get an Americano
:further shudder:
we get that here too, but we call it 'Coffee'.
Quote from: BadBeast on June 22, 2010, 06:26:08 AM

Yeah, in Boston, Americano is four shots of Espresso in pint form.
That's like, six big jars of instant coffee in one cup!

Well, yeah, over there. Instant is blesphemy over here, sir!
(Unless you fought in WWII)
There once was a man from Tralee
Who liked to imbibe English Tea
Along with the rashers
And his girlfriend's gasher
Now that's a good wake up, you agree?
Will post NT when Freeky posts hers, or about two days pass.
I did Omaha Beach, in 'Medal of Honour' Allied Assault, does that count?

Ok, not a gamer, but going to wing it, assuming coffee topic:
If you played Her Majesty's Army, then no. Brits will never get coffee unless they become American.
If you played USA, and have compared instant vs percolated/French Press IRL, then yes.
Fuck, I'm an American and I apparently don't get coffee, according to Death Coffee recipe.
Tea it is then.

Religious nutjobs
A dirty old Vicar, from Birmingham,
once rogered 3 maids, whilst confirming 'em,
as they knelt seeking God,
he exited his knob,
then shot his episcopal sperm in 'em.
A life on the ocean wave.
The Captain, disgracefully drunk,
went down to the Cabin boys bunk,
threw the lad on the floor,
like a cheap dockside whore,
and filled up his scuppers with spunk
