[QUOTE=EmergencyRoom]I like words...[/QUOTE]

Words hate you. I hate you. Everyone hates you. Go away you plague of a human being.

What a goth.

Wow!

I'm a Muse fan and never noticed that. The difference is that Matt Bellamy's face is more pointed, but still, Wow!

I look nothing like that guy.

[QUOTE=SubtleDagger]I look nothing like that guy.[/QUOTE]

You're right Matt..I mean Burt :D

He's got a cleft chin for Christ's sake. And his hair is unbelievably short compared to mine.

You're not identical. Just similar featured.

Don't be upset :-*

well, at least i'll have the word in there this time.
I couldve just modified the song from last challenge, but thought i'd put forth something fresh (so fresh that i literally typed it onto the screen)

do you think i should use that song from last challenge for a future one (i.e. howd yall like it?)

I didn't like it much, but I really shouldn't talk because I never seem to like any of your songs. :|

I made a crusade-esque poem for this one... I'm not too fond of it. And it's not even that good. Well. Whatever. :D

gee... thanks

oh well, at least you were honest :D

Matt Bellamy Is A Dude!!!!

coz hez like, wun of those high voiced dudes, lulz.

There are some really strong entries this time... :(

Why did I put effort on this one, o why...

[QUOTE=DFelon204409]Tojes I thought you were like "in charge" of S&L. See what happens when you step up to the plate against the heavy hitters?[/QUOTE]

Fight! Fight! Fight! :p

Dfelon doesn't wrestle, he beats bitches up.

[QUOTE=DFelon204409]There are two DFelons

Sober = Beats bi[size=2]t[/size]ches up
Drunk = Wrestle (I say "I make a wrestle" like Borat on the Ali G show)[/QUOTE]

Borat is a work of genius.

Really? No, I guess I'm like, a contributer or something... I don't think I am like, the one who runs this. Besides, It'd take a lot of writing/reading skills to take charge of a forum like this, and I'm kind of in the middle in both aspects.

A complement, really (I hope that was the intention, if not... uh... :() But I can't really tell. I try to make myself a name somewhere in the site.

Time for entries to close. Vote.

[QUOTE=SubtleDagger]I look nothing like that guy.[/QUOTE]
no, but nice avatar... " i'm the queen of france..."

[QUOTE=TojesDoLan]7. WhatILiveFor - The second stanza is... not so great, I didn't quite get it. Confusing, I guess.[/QUOTE]

Hm. I guess not everyone knows Shakespeare.
The second stanza includes a reference to Hamlet, just so you know. "I know not seems" is a direct quote from scene 2 of the first act: " 'Seems,' madam? Nay it is. I know not 'seems.' " (I.ii.79) You really need to know the plot to understand the sentiment. The strong emotion that Hamet is portraying through those lines to his mother was exactly what I wanted to show in my own lines. ...Guess it didn't work.
As for myself, I'm not a huge fan of Shakespeare, but Hamlet is one play that I actually enjoyed.

I'm not even English-speaking, I never would've known that.

Well... I'm sure you've heard of Shakespeare? ...Old Dead White Guy; wrote a lot of plays and sonnets and coined over 2000 words and phrases? "To be, or not to be..." ?

No matter, really. But I'm glad I cleared that up (a little bit)... maybe?

meh.

As a note, I hate my piece. I feel like my writing's been a lot beter lately but that is not representational of my progress. Oh well. I'll try to vote tonight.

I will read something by that person you call Shake Spear... As soon as I finish all my other reading projects. :D

I got the hamlet reference if that helps. :p

[QUOTE=DFelon204409]Hahahahah. I love when people throw in allusion that's so esoteric and trivial it ceases to be an allusion. You know at the movie theater before the movie starts they have those little quiz questions like "Who said, 'I like peanut butter alright.'" These are quotations that are more trivial characters in movies nobody cares about and also the quote isn't even some defining cool quote that somebody would be able to figure out from reading its awesomeness. It's just dumb. That's why when I see somebody making an allusion to some line Shakespeare crossed off in a first draft of Hamlet while really stoned and probably getting rammed by a man or being split into multiple poets during the 16th century because Shakespeare has been hypothesized not to exist, I laugh.

I do like peanut butter though, I'll give you guys that much.[/QUOTE]

I disagree. I didn't think that it was a very esoteric quote. And it wasn't a trivial character, it was Hamlet himself. So your point sucks and doesn't apply here.

But peanut butter rules. :p

Crunchy > smooth.

[QUOTE=A_Perfect_Sonnet]Crunchy > smooth.[/QUOTE]

Seconded.

But it's like you started quoting things you've read because you think they are amazingly cool, but not everybody may know what you talk about. Like private jokes (I mean of a close group, not exactly talking about groins and what not) that only work with your friends but pretty much no one would really understand... At any rate, if they are really, really obvious, then you may be stupid, but well.

For instance, If I talk about pig heads talking to crazy boys, and then rolling stones crashing fat f[B][I][/I][/B]ucks, you might not know what I'm talking about, and I'd say "duh, leik, its so e-z lol!!1!" But well. Guess where I got that idea from and I'll give you an e-cookie.

And peanut butter = good. But Nutella is far better.

Your idea works as a general rule. However, my point wasn't generalised. It was specific to someone who has (i assumed that Dfelon has due to the way he comments on it) read Hamlet. I know that to someone who hasn't read Hamlet, any line( kind of, as Hamlet was the source of hundreds of stock english phrases) could seem unfamiliar, but Dfelon suggests that it is a line spoken by a trivial character and isn't important, suggesting that he read and (partially) remembers it. :thumb:

Well yeah, If you read something you'll only remember something that really catches your mind, not everything about the play. That'd be sick, unless you were a person dedicated to the life and work of Shakespeare...

Anyhow... Wait what the hell was I saying...

:lol:

Or for instance, for that post of mine above, I was alusing "The lord of the flies". For instance, you'd never get it even if your life depended on it if you haven't read the book. Or like a lot of the jokes in the Simpsons. Most of them are enjoyable for the regular viewer, but certain epsiodes that you could only get with a certain level of pop culture/any kind of culture.

There's a fine line that blurs between being funny with quotes, or trying to be smart through them, and being overly intelligent and uptight about it.

[QUOTE=DFelon204409]Except for the fact that all Simpsons/Family Guy/Futurama/Adult Swim quotes should be mandatory for the LC repetoire.[/QUOTE]
Haha... No I mean the serious ones... Like in the episode when the kids go to the "Kamp Krusty" and it really sucks... and then Bart goes insane and takes over: When Kent Brockman arrives with the cameras, as he approaches the hut where Bart is, there's a Pig's head impaled, with a lot of flies around: clear humor for those who've read [I]The Lord of the flies[/I], as I've stated for quite some posts now.

Anyhow, literature is so underrated nowadays... I would study something related to that, I love writing, and I also love painting, so I'd study arts, but I can't see myself living from those: It's almost impossible. It takes basically a lot of contacts, more than talent. Talent is important, but connections > every single drop of talent.

That's why I want to major in electronics/mechatronics engineering, so I can relate in some crazy form my love for music with a serious work-line, and in a way that I can dedicate my free time entirely to writing and painting.
