I think he's not American, hence his ability to use (and comprehend a use for) all those pesky shades of gray between 0 and 10.

"no atheists in foxholes" Some Xtian once said this, and Xtians ever since, in their fashion of repeating things that sound to them like they should be true as though they were true without any regard to whether they actually are true, have parrotted it. What evidence can you cite that atheists stop being atheists in extreme circumstances? There is no such evidence; it doesn't happen.

It's Xtian bullshit.

There's nothing to see here. Move along. This comes from a whole different realm than you do.

...but...tell me you at least did get the "daddy wasn't planning on buying no more stuff" reference. That one HAS to be obvious to virtually anyone who grew up speaking English. Or did you grow up speaking English? I can't tell.

I tried really hard to be a bum on the street several years ago, to get that whole authenticity thing going. I sold or put in storage everything I owned and hit the streets with a backpack, some photocopies of my pomes, and 40 Cdn dollars in my pocket.

Unfortunately I failed miserably, as over the next 11 months I earned around $14,000 U.S. dollars with my crappy pomes -- which, since I paid no rent during that time (I was continually offerred places to stay, or camped) and paid no taxes, was a reasonably decent amount of money with which to enjoy what was essentially a year-long vacation. Most embarrassing moment? I was on Telegraph avenue all decked out like a hippy selling photocopied pomes tackily signed with metallic gold ink (it increased how much money people "donated" for some stupid reason)and up walks a woman I went to university with...she was doing her doctorate at Berkeley. lol. She definitely seemed to buy into my bum on the streets disguise.

I'm DEEPLY hurt you've made no comment on my adjunct/punt/cunt limerick further down the page.

In the context of the exchange it is a part of, it's gotta be one of my all-time cleverest limericks evar. Doncha think?

surprised that your thought process works like this?:

"they criticized my pome > I hate them > I will look up one of their pomes and vote "0" on it. That'll show'm"

no. Not really surprised at all. In fact, it quite confirms my previous opinion of you.

...you old goat.

please don't change your heart too much...your comments are generally far more rewarding to read than people's pomes.

If I'd a doubt left 'bout the young poet's gender
Luzr's comment above would soon end her.
Like a dog, he's so fast
To get his nose up her ass,
That I'm a little bit frightened he'll rend her.

Interesting...you show the same lack of awareness of the distinction between the adverbial and adjectival forms of words in your comments as you do in your pomes. Missing that part of your brain, perchance?

BTW: here is your clumsy attempt rewritten in actual limerick form; just so you know how it's done for future battles:

I know it may come as a shock
To one who assumes gender ad hoc
Is this retort better?
Has it gotten you wetter?
I'm a chick, so guess what -- I've no cock!

Your reply's an unneeded adjunct
And you fail my aspersion to punt:
Though the pronoun was wrong
You've no need for a dong
There's protrusion enough in a cunt.

"It's good fun getting people all defensive" --
Yes! we make 'm stew, make 'm cry, make 'm pensive
but not you -- you just sputter
and endlessly mutter
how little it means to you when rankers the tens give.

What kind of rejoinder is that?
Are you saying your groin's, er, less protruding than flat?
For me there's no sport
In such a lousy retort
I enjoin you, do better than that

There once was a pome masturbatory
that tried to tell some dumb nymph's little story
but there's nothing on google
to show it's not new, go
check, you'll see it ain't stolen glory!
