[cue tasteful classical music -- the Rondeau from "Symphonies and Fanfares for the King's Supper" by Jean-Joseph Mouret -- as performed by a symphony consisting entirely of kazoos]

[posh British accent] Good evening, and welcome to Masterpost Theatre. I am your host, Stuart Rathbone. This thread will feature the very best of classical literature and poetry -- all featuring luminaries of Legion World, of course. We do hope you enjoy the programme. [/posh British accent]

The Statue of Cobalt Kid, a.k.a. Cobiemandias

I met a poster from another board
Who said: Two vast and trunkless legs of stone
Stand in the MMB. Near them in the thread,
Half sunk, a shatter'd visage lies, whose pout
And puckered lip and sneer of cold command
Tell that its poster well those passions read
Which yet survive, stamp'd on these lifeless things,
The hand that mock'd them and the heart that fed.
And on the pedestal these words appear:
"My name is Cobalt Kid, king of posters, Double Trapper:
Look on my post count, ye n00bs, and despair!"
Nothing beside remains: round the decay
Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare,
The inane, one-word posts stretch far away.


(OK, this re-post is admittedly a bit of post padding. So STU me!)

If by Tenzil Kem

If you can nosh with crowds and keep your hunger
Or dine with kings-nor lose your appetite,
If you ingest more than foes or friends much younger
If all men sup with you, but none that last bite
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With a sixty-second powerful munch,
Yours is Bismoll and everything that's in it
And-which is more-you'll still have room for lunch!

Excellent!

Have a crumpet, my good fellow.

An excerpt:

Hootchie Hut

On Legion World did Cobalt Kid
A raunchy pleasure-dome decree:
With strippers decked in boas feathered
And nubile dancers clad in leather
Far as the eye could see.

Stopping to Post on a Friday Evening

These threads are shallow (hardly deep)
But I have goals that I must meet
And many posts before "T.T."
And many posts before "T.T."

The Thread Not Posted In

Two threads diverged in the MMB, and I—
I chose the one less posted in,
And that has made all the difference.

I Posted Horny as a Pov

For oft, when on my couch I lie
In horny or perverted mood
Pr0n that flashes on that inward eye
Which is the bliss of solitude
And then my
[ [Eek!] ] with pleasure fills
(A thought that gives this poet chills.)

My Dream Girl
by Brainiac 5 (with begrudging apology to Carl Sandburg)

Will you return one day in due to my brilliant mind?
Though viscous as mercury, unstable as Francium,
The light of the holo light will be on your skin,
The dreams of days not yet seen spoken by your lips,
You will enrapture me like a supernova at peak.

You will return, with your soft, expressive eyes,
The beauty of your face no auto sketch could reproduce
And words spoken in harmonic tones,
Your beauty causes fluctuations of my cardiac system
Many are the days since your life force fled
I cannot comprehend the vacuum it has produced.

Yet,
You may not come, O Dream Girl,
We may meet only during my REM's
And I shall long for the chrono cycles to pass,
Till once again through my dreams you pass.

--------------------
Long Live all them Legions!

Thread Ignored by Langst-1 Hughes

What happens to a thread ignored?

Does it rot down
Like garbage in the dump?

Or sink like a stone-
And then get bumped?

Does it burn like bread in a broken toaster?
Or resuscitate daily-
from the original poster?

Maybe it annoys
like a phrase repeated.

Or is it deleted?

An excerpt:

Stoopid Catty

`Twas brillig, and the alt IDs
Did gyre and gimble in the thread:
All mimsy were the borogreeds,
And the mods' wraths outgred.

"Beware the Stoopid Cat, my son!
The jaw that bites, the claws that catch!
Beware his hairballs foul, and shun
His most ill-tempered scratch!"

O Cobalt! Our Cobalt! by Walt Whit-Lad


O Cobalt! our Cobalt! your posting days are done;
 
Your name has oft grac’d Legion World; a five-year posting run;
 
Now with a wife, I fear your life, will soon be complicating,
 
While follow eyes the "last post" box, for Cobie's name they're waiting:
 
    But O heart! heart! heart!

      O the bygone inane thread,
 
        Where once was written Cobalt's name,
 
          He's fallen: old and wed.

An excerpt:

Still I Post
By Maya AngeLard

You may flame me with your words,
Belittle me with your boasts,
You may spam me with your smileys,
But still, like mail, I'll post.

Does my horniness upset you?
Does it come as a surprise
That as I sit here typing
My hand's between my thighs?

In all the threads of Legion World's shame
I post
Up from the DC boards (so lame)
I post
I'm an ambivalent wise-ass, leaping and wide,
Welling and swelling from way too much pie.
All through the nights of boredom and fapping
I post
Into the daybreak (no time off for napping)
I post
Bringing the gifts of the bullied and meek,
I am the dream and the hope of the geek.
I post
I post
I post.
