`Twas Freepthon, and the VanityPosts
Were sidebarred into the chattyroom pot.
The servers churnt, the n00bs were toast,
And the Admins KittyZot.
"Beware the HumbleGumby, my son!
The text that rages, the phrases that bit!
Beware the albaby beeber of stune,
And the sleaxy Lazamataz hit."
He took his 'board and mouse in hand
Long time the irrascid foe he sought,
So rested he by the BreakinBar,
And stood awhile in thought.
And, as in moddish thought he read,
The HumbleGumby, with words of flame,
Came churling through the blarzly thread,
And yarbled as it came!
One, two! One, two! And through and through
The posty blasts went flamy-smack!
He left it dead, and with its head
He went triumphing back.
"And, has thou slain the HumbleGumby??
Come to my arms, my troobish noll!
O Freeptious day! JimRob! JohnRob!'
He chortled in his joy.
`Twas Freepthon, and the VanityPosts
Were sidebarred into the chattyroom pot.
The servers churnt, the n00bs were toast,
And the Admins KittyZot.

If you have been following some of the inside baseball on Free Republic, this will make sense to you. I take no position on the controversy. I can see valid points on both sides. That is all I will say about it on this thread.
THIS THREAD IS NOT INTENDED TO SPARK A HUGE DISCUSSION ABOUT H.G. OR ANYONE ELSE. It's intended to be a silly bit of fun doggeral about the events of the last 48 hours on FR. Enjoy, and please, don't y'all start. :)

Silly bit of doggerel. Not up to Laz Ping List standards, but fun enough to unofficially call y'all. It's insider-baseball stuff, and if you don't get it, don't sweat it. :)

Saw it all as it happened. Didn’t need my input then. Still doesn’t.
The art of poetry altered as satire does. We build up our participation and our hurts too high. It is just through the looking glass and not the real world of our little tribes.

I did a search and found the threads. Kinda glad I missed it now.
Laz is playing the peacemaker, something we definitely have a need for.
Good show.

Any news on the car? Nope. Guaranteed, it's probably a frame somewhere, and the engine is being tuned and fitted into a amateur racer as we speak.

I just bought the engine for my amateur race car. Dang, Laz, when was the last time you changed the oil in this thing??
