The Way It Wuz, Aug27 - Sep2

Date: 09/03/1999
From: Blinker

Quick review:

1. TWIW is a weekly feature that sums up the board's events with some really, really awful poetry.
2. The 'post of the day' is merely the article that got the most replies; it in no way denotes the importance or quality of the content.
3. My version of TWIW is geared for the 'shiny, happy, cherries 'n' love, sweets 'n' candy 'n' roses' kinda poster. If you come to the board mainly to find 12-year-olds to harangue, bail now!

POSTS OF THE DAY: "The Way it Wuz: 8/23-8-26" (SL4ever) and "UPN and Sliders, part two" (jersey-slider, 11 replies each)

THE GOOD:
I'm sure that we all
Got a huge morale boost...
When our pal 1013shan
Returned home to roost!

THE BAD:
Loki thought Quinn had a tumor in SLAE...
Even though it was made clearer than glass...
That that little tale was no more than a LIE!!!

THE UGLY:
Slidersfreak threatened to leave...
Then claimed that that wasn't him.
But based on "Impostor"'s exactly same style...
I say 'I don't think so, Tim!'

-- Sat/Aug28 --

POST OF THE DAY: "Who believes me?" (Slidersfreak, 11 replies)

THE GOOD:
Many of us agreed with Chaser's post,
Noting this place feels like home.
Now let's hope this time, our old friends won't leave...
'Til my tuft goes anywhere near a comb!! 7:-O

THE BAD:
Wild_Slider wants a spin-off called 'Jumpers'...
Most of my first thought was 'why'?
The second one was, more or less, 'It sure beats
His winning pitch at SIY!'

THE UGLY:
Slidersfreak-- please listen up, my dear friend...
So you've said you were framed, and then said it again--
My question is 'When will it end??'

-- Sun/Aug29 --

POST OF THE DAY: "I miss Jerry!" (scientifiction, 14 replies)

THE GOOD:
SL4ever's new story began:
Its comical twists, and those evidence lists...
Have already made me a fan!

THE BAD:
Left_testicle said goodbye to us all.
We'll always re...
Wait a minute, why on Earth am I writing this under the 'bad' section??

THE UGLY:
Is this what the world has come down to?
Should all mankind give up and die?
When someone goes to this much trouble...
To pretend that he's I_AM_SCIFI?!

(P.S. Who is 'Informat'? A fanfic-writing rug?)

-- Mon/Aug30 --

POST OF THE DAY: "This is it. I am leaving for REAL..." (buffyboy, 10 replies)

THE GOOD:
Loveskitz came back! This gets better and better!
Now the one thing left to see...
Is Sliders renewed, and returns to the cast...
by SL, COC and JRD!

(We'll bring Jerry back too, if he promises not to let Colleen be his stand-in anymore.)

THE BAD:
Bamby complained about Jerry being gone:
"If anything's happened I'll die!"
Just hope, little girl, that Hunter or Tork...
Don't get *their* hands on the guy!

THE UGLY (Special 'Non-Rhyming Edition'):
Exec wanted to end Sliders with a "sequal"...
Which has now been filed next to "furthur," "publically," "rediculous," "abyssmal" and "comphrehension."
The last two work quite well together with regards to this man and the English language.

POST OF THE DAY: "Age poll" (Dathmus, 48 replies)

THE GOOD:
A huge boon to us was provided,
By JOC's new appearance on Later...
What did it provide? Why, laughter of course,
For all of us rabid JOC haters!

THE BAD:
Earth 374 was delayed once again...
Haven't we heard this before?
All I know's that if I hear it again...
SOMEone is getting a brand new 'A' torn!

(Just kidding Chaser! 7:-D)

THE UGLY:
Banker wished SIY'd fold up and go,
Perhaps taking Patrice and Doug.
TemporalFlux summed up everyone's thoughts...
With that one simple catch-all word, "Ugh."

-- Wed/Sep1 --

POST OF THE DAY: "Age discrimination?" (SpaceTime, 11 replies)

THE GOOD:
RealmKeeper was back, with a spanking-new board!
His face was quite welcome to see...
Not least because thanks to his handle, 'RK'...
No longer means that guy who used to %&#$ up every story!!

THE BAD:
Don't ask me what RickyMartin is on...
The first thing he said when he came,
Was "How did Wade die?" But what can you expect,
From a fan of somebody that LAME?

THE UGLY:
SpaceTime revealed it's not money or chicks...
But ragging on children that gives him his kicks.
Sorry, but I find that just a bit sick.

THE REQUISITE "WHERE'S JERRY" POST OF THE DAY:
Alternate asked, 'Where's he gone? Any clue?'
We don't have one yet, but as soon as we do...
We'll pass it to someone who needs one, like you.

POST OF THE DAY: "Compromise = Success" (DonProc, 17 replies)

THE GOOD:
So much was sterling this day,
To pick one thing would simply be crazy.
(Either that, or, it's getting too late
And I've just become far too lazy.)

THE BAD (Special Limerick Edition):
Exec once more fought for First Wave,
But ignored all else HunterD gave,
Such as proof clear as day
That Ex rudely said 'Nay'
To those who're trying to the show save.

(Woo hoo! Grammatical acrobatics! 7:-D)

THE UGLY:
Vanova likened the original cast...
To "House On The Praire [sic] in Space."
BWA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA!!!!

[Breaks down laughing and is unable to finish]

And that's how we saw the board this week! Tune in again next Friday!

- Blinker 7:-D
