Get his attention in a thread he's going to check in - like one of his trolls, or that banner thread in the off topic.

Caesar the Great · July 10, 2002, 20:36

I am a *BSD user
and I try hard to be brave
That is a tall order
*BSD's foot is in the grave.

I tap at my toy keyboard
and whistle a cheerful tune
but keeping happy is so hard,
*BSD will be dead soon.

Each day I wake and softly sob
Nightfall finds me crying
Not only am I a zit faced slob
but *BSD is dying.

"Hi there. I'm Edith."
"...I'm Paul."
E: Mmmmm, Paul. I like that name. Wasn't Murphy's first name Paul.
P: Oh YES.
E: Tell me...how long have you played chess?
P: S-since I was eleven.
E: Want to tell me about your first time.
P: W-well, I don't know. It was with my father. He didn't play all that well. I started beating him not long after that.
E: Want to hear about my first time?
P: Oh yeah, tell me about your first time, Edith. How old were you?
E: My first time was at the tender age of fourteen.
P: Really?
E: Yessss. Before then, I hardly knew the names of the pieces.
P: How well do you play now?
E: Oh, better than you, probably.
P, excited: Really?
E: Yes, I'm a genius you know. Want to hear about my first time?
P: Yes, tell me about it.
E: My sister's friend was over. He was a Geek. Are you a geek, Paul?
P: Yes, yes, I am.
E: I love geeks. They excite me. My sister's friend was the first geek I met. He introduced me to Linux. He also taught me chess.
P: You use Linux?
E: Well, technically it's not Linux, I use my own kernel.
P: You kernel-hack?
E. I guess you could call it that...
P: What do you mean?
E: Well I don't bother with Torvalds's source-tree.
P: Oh, Edith. Tell me what you do.
E: I mess with kernel directly.
P: mmmm.
E: Oh, it gets very messy. Straight assembly. Pur hex.
P: Oh-ooh. Tell me about your sister's friend.
E: He taught me chess. By the end of the first hour I was seeing three, four moves ahead of him. By the time I was seventeen, four years ago, I was placing in the nationals.
P: Oh, man. Are you really that good?
E: Want to try me?
P: e2?

Our yellow sun yields to the dark
As I begin my web-based lark
Flowing, turning through the pipe
I grep for text and dump the hype

But as I ride the fibre trail
I test my faith as I read my mail
Even as my bandwidth fattens
I question life and I-Click patents

Although I ask and though I query
I know the truth, I grok the theory
Life is a multimedia of sins
So he who collects the most porn wins

Hmmm... St Leo seems to take advantge by increasing his post count by sending poetry as spam.

(yet another post towards Emperor

A Programmer and an Engineer are sitting next to each other on a long flight from LA to NY. The Programmer leans over to the Engineer and asks if he would like to play a fun game. The Engineer just wants to take a nap, so he politely declines and rolls over to the window to catch a few winks.

The Programmer persists and explains that the game is real easy and a lotta fun. He explains "I ask you a question, and if you don't know the answer, you pay me $5. Then you ask me a question, and if I don't know the answer, I'll pay you $5.11. Again, the Engineer politely declines and tries to get to sleep. The Programmer, now some what agitated, says, "OK, if you don't know the answer you pay me $5, and if I don't know the answer, I'll pay you $50! This catches the Engineer's attention, and he sees no end to this torment unless he plays, so he agrees to the game. The Programmer asks the first question. "What's the distance from the earth to the moon?" The Engineer doesn't say a word, but reaches into his wallet, pulls out a five dollar bill and hands it to the Programmer. Now, it's the Engineer's turn. He asks the Programmer "Why won't Markos give Leo a db?"

The Programmer looks up at him with a puzzled look. He takes out his laptop computer and searches all of his references. He taps into the Airphone with his modem and searches the net and the Library of Congress. Frustrated, he sends e-mail to his co-workers -- all to no avail. After about an hour, he wakes the Engineer and hands him $50. The Engineer politely takes the $50 and turns away to try to get back to sleep. The Programmer, more than a little miffed, shakes the Engineer and asks "Well, so what's the answer?"

Without a word, the Engineer reaches into his wallet, hands the Programmer $5, and turns away to get back to sleep.

With light heart, Emily
Washes herself in water from a well;
How she performed that rite, I dare not tell,
Unless it be in a most general way;
And yet it be fun to hear it all.
For men of goodwill, such things are no harm;
-Geoffrey Chaucer

Rasbelin · July 29, 2002, 08:12

Nice poetry, but, St Leo, isn't that abit more like...?

H Tower · July 29, 2002, 16:54

no, because he started the thread and can do anything he likes in it, unless its offensive to other posters. (like using ming's copyrighted pictures

)

Rasbelin · July 29, 2002, 17:11

AFAIK he still can't mess around as he wants, as we do have rules on Poly.

Who said that picture is made by Ming? Nobody. Actually I made it. Can be found in the picture thread too.

Touché!

Rasbelin · July 29, 2002, 17:16

P.S. I doubt that any of us have paid to the copyright holder of Flash Gordon. Or has aaglo really paid King Features Syndicate a lump sum for that comic?

H Tower · July 29, 2002, 18:24

well, St. Leo can do just about anything he wants in this thread because Markos is ignoring his request, so he also has to ignore this thread too

Case · July 29, 2002, 23:52

Maybe Markos is ignoring Leo and letting this thread live because he's enjoying the quality of the spam that it contains...

Rasbelin · July 30, 2002, 00:02

Case,

that's what I call intuitive thinking!

Should we award you with the title Poly Thinker of the Week?
