:wave:

It's okay for now... this is going to be a big week for me I think, but everything should go fine :).

Today I've just got some study to do.

You?

PaulSimonon 10-31-2004 02:07 PM

Big as in....?

gaslight 10-31-2004 02:09 PM

Just like, an important one in the long term.

Wintermute 10-31-2004 02:10 PM

Because of?

gaslight 10-31-2004 02:16 PM

Like, exams and stuff.

PaulSimonon 10-31-2004 02:17 PM

Exams blow. I have them this week too.

Wintermute 10-31-2004 02:20 PM

I just took the Grand Blackadder Quiz and got full marks. It was a little disappointing. It was obviously designed to challenge the casual fan, not the hardcore addict.

PaulSimonon 10-31-2004 02:21 PM

Grand Blackadder?

Wintermute 10-31-2004 02:21 PM

Then full marks on the Blackadder I quiz.

PaulSimonon 10-31-2004 02:22 PM

What is it?! Silly Americans like me don't know!

Wintermute 10-31-2004 02:24 PM

Then again on the Blackadder II quiz.

PaulSimonon 10-31-2004 02:25 PM

I'm still lost.

gaslight 10-31-2004 02:26 PM

Blackadder is :cool:.

Wintermute 10-31-2004 02:26 PM

And then the Blackadder III quiz

gaslight 10-31-2004 02:26 PM

Anyway back in a while, showering.

PaulSimonon 10-31-2004 02:27 PM

Argg..... I feel stupid...

Wintermute 10-31-2004 02:28 PM

And also the Blackadder Goes Forth quiz.

Well that was easy.

Wintermute 10-31-2004 02:30 PM

Oh, sorry, classic British comedy. Rowan Atkinson, with regular spots from Hugh Laurie, Rik Mayall, Stephen Fry, Tony Robinson and Tim McInnery.

Wintermute 10-31-2004 02:31 PM

PaulSimonon 10-31-2004 02:33 PM

Congrats?

Wintermute 10-31-2004 02:35 PM

Thank you.

PaulSimonon 10-31-2004 02:37 PM

Welcome.

Wintermute 10-31-2004 02:39 PM

Sooo... has anyone been keeping up with the closed thread poetry?

PaulSimonon 10-31-2004 02:42 PM

I haven't, because I don't know what it is. I have been thinking around some lyrics lately though...

Wintermute 10-31-2004 02:44 PM

Recently I've been putting in a line from one of my favourite poems into any dud thread I close.

gaslight 10-31-2004 02:45 PM

Closed what?

/Back.

PaulSimonon 10-31-2004 02:46 PM

Ohh... That's what that was... I saw that little bit in the Adam's Ant one.

Wintermute 10-31-2004 02:46 PM

Heh, go back and read it again.

When I'm through with this one (Ozymandias by Percy Bysshe Shelley) I'll be taking recommendations for the next one!

risbo 10-31-2004 02:46 PM

[QUOTE=Wintermute]Recently I've been putting in a line from one of my favourite poems into any dud thread I close.[/QUOTE]

I've noticed the poetry. Haven't been keeping up though.

Wintermute 10-31-2004 02:47 PM

Ozymandius
by: Percy Bysshe Shelley

I met a traveler from an antique land
Who said: Two vast and trunkless legs of stone
Stand in the desert. Near them, on the sand,
Half sunk, a shattered visage lies, whos frown,
And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command,
Tell that its sculptor well those passions read
Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things,
The hand that mocked them and the heart that fed;

And on the pedestal these words appear:
"My name is Ozymandius, king of kings:
Look on my words, ye Mighty, and despair!"
Nothing beside remains. Round the decay
Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare
The lone and level sands stretch far away.

gaslight 10-31-2004 02:47 PM

Ohh.... now I get it!

PaulSimonon 10-31-2004 02:48 PM

How about "The Walrus and the Carpenter"? That would be interesting...

Wintermute 10-31-2004 02:49 PM

Maybe some stupidly long epic, like the one about the three heroes of the Tiber.

I forget what it's called right now, but it's stupidly long.

gaslight 10-31-2004 02:50 PM

/Watches the Young Ones tape again.

w00t studying today.

PaulSimonon 10-31-2004 02:50 PM

Do Beowulf! The whole thing is a song, so it counts as poetry right?

Wintermute 10-31-2004 02:54 PM

[url]http://www.englishverse.com/poems/horatius[/url]

EPIC!

70 verses...

PaulSimonon 10-31-2004 02:56 PM

Too long for me...

Wintermute 10-31-2004 02:57 PM

We studied this in an English class, long ago.

risbo 10-31-2004 02:59 PM

Think of how many threads you'd have to close wintermute.

Wintermute 10-31-2004 03:00 PM

It'd be a mission and a half...

I think with that one I'd do a verse per thread.
