But Coyote, don't you think spandex is a bit cheesy for trochaic?
It was liquid latex.

Was it trochaic spandex? Was it, was it?
I heard that's a poetry thing and I was kinda hoping it was NSFW.

FUPA was fun, and an excellent contest. This sucked, and we all know who to blame.

Well, shit, Bubba, there was only really one person who insulted my entries for no apparent reason.
That'd be you.
BUBBA BROKE SUPA
BAN HIS ASS
**************
1) It wasn't an insult, it was my honest opinion. I didn't consider it poetry. That's my right.
2) "Entries?" It was only one. Learn to count.
3) People go out of their way to call me stupid, when I'm doing basically the same thing as Shlongy.
4) Circe, you won the round where I was honest. See, honesty really IS the best policy, except when referring to Shlongy. No one can be honest THERE--- it would be too cruel.
5) Circe (again). I like you, and always have. Your retort to my "not poetry" comment, however, was rude and uncalled for given the situation.
6) Zebra: Blow me.
7) Shlongy: Blow me
8) Scourge: Blow me
9) Circe: Blow me, PLEASE??!!
10) :)
11) Sacrilicious: Psstt! Your bear is bare!

FUPA WAS fun, wasn't it? Though this year hasn't been without its moments, too.
Shlong- No way. It's just my round 3 entry.

Sorry Coley.

I usually don't speak in such a crude manner on the internet.

ahahahahaha Bubba is my favorite.
This didn't suck at all.
Shlongy wanted to fuck up the contest.
Orgasmatron wanted Shlongy out.
They both got what they wanted.
Plus - Circe, Merlina, ahumblefool, beeltea, gofer, Anansie, Sacrilicious, Scourge, Coleslaw, and Thorns (TEN years ago) wrote some really nice stuff.
And, apparently, Coley has big tits.
Orgasmatron would be the first to admit he was off this round, unfortunately.
Any given Sunday and all that.
The others were okay, too. Not on the same level as the others, in my opinion, but not bad.
All in all, I'd say this was a pretty strong round.
Plus, some people probably read and wrote more poetry than perhaps they normally would, and there was good old fashioned bullshit to keep things interesting.

The +2 is my way of saying I agree with your stance. Shlongy fucked the entire contest, and I doubt Gasmo will have the slightest desire to do this again next year, if ever.
FUPA was fun, and an excellent contest. This sucked, and we all know who to blame. What's really sad is that so many people sucked up and fell for the little guy's bullshit.

Throwing in the towel, darlin? I think all teh females should just step down and let the men battle it out with their penii. Let 'em write a few heroic couplets with their janx. It's really the only way when you think about it.

I probably should have reconsidered the white font on white background, but I felt it appropriate to the piece. I'll know for next time.

I can't in good conscience give you a +2 for this. I respect your feelings on the matter, but I think this would all go away if we just focused on actually putting effort into our pieces for the contest. I personally found the whole thing with Shlongy and TTOM to be utterly hilarious for the extent it was taken seriously, and for my part I have kept my involvement in this thing entirely limited to producing poetry and evaluating others'. All this nonsense could be solved by a little maturity, or with better organization.
If O is too jaded after doing this this year I will do it. If I'm still here.

Here is the deal. I am not going to waste a lot of time to write something when my competition has thrown in the towel. Whether you say you have or not, you did by submitting a blank post. Now, as I was doing this for the hell of it and not really giving a rats ass if I won or lost, I concede to you and allow you to move forward as the competition is over anyway as it would seem.
