The Way It Wuz: Haiku Edition [QB4]

Date: 04/11/2000
From: ThomasBlinkthus

In the long-deleted postings, (lalala)
Of Ninety-Eight A.D. -- (lalalala)
There was a guy named Malthus,
Who signed up for this here BB -- (lalalala)

He gave us such inventions as the story game,
Which as long as he was playing was never lame,
He drifted from the board a little while ago,
But at present he is ba-ack
Writing fics based on the sho-ow!

We'll send him each day's postings, (lalala)
The newest we can find -- (lalalala)
He'll construct Japanese poems from each
And he'll never even mind -- (lalalala)

The only thing that can save this song,
From a far-too-early end -- (lalalala)
Is a partial listing of a few,
Of our hero's Sliders friends:

BBOARD, ROLL CALL!

Punjab -- "Find 'em! I dare ya!"
TF1 -- "such a swwete gurl"
Cryin -- "Yes, let's ban me."
Slider_Deeeeeeeeeeee -- "Well SARAH MICHELLE GELLAR is a nasty bulimic tapeworm! So there!"

If you're wondering how he sleeps at night,
After mangling that last verse -- (lalalala)
Just repeat to yourself, "It's just a post,
And it's not like they reeee-hearse!"

For The Way It Wuz, April Eleventh of, Two Thousand...

STINGER: "Chaser9 has a problem," and its name be "relrelrelaboo." I await several near-identical tripe-filled e-mails in response: "Um, Blinker? When Mr. Boo said 'Chaser9 has a problem,' I - um, he - was in fact discussing Chaser's inexplicable hostility towards me, an innocent bystander. Just think how the REST of my handles feel!"
