Wouldn't you be shutting your Alaskan trap?!?!

Schnarf.

for shame eskimopie July 27 2005, 21:12:10 UTC

ladymariposa July 27 2005, 20:47:54 UTC

ok, so in a sentance I would say

Don't be such a TJ...

tonyjackson July 27 2005, 20:56:29 UTC

Don't hate! :-)

As if there is a better reason to read poetry than cute girls?!?!?!

ladymariposa July 27 2005, 21:26:48 UTC

cute girls do make the world go round...

I think we missed a term here:

Potcallingthekettleblacking
verb

1. Accusing another poet of something you do.
2. Doing poems about Billie Holiday and Janet Jackson in front of a mostly black audience to win money.
3. See Andy Buck.

If this turns into a dance-off my face would be rocked completely off!

Re: Wait a minute... elph8 July 28 2005, 13:17:18 UTC

I was going for the win, man! And the poem isn't about Billie Holiday, dummy, it's about Billy Ocean.

By the way, I don't write poems about homeless people. They've got time, they can write 'em.
