  1. Probably not.

     

    Was 9/11 a conspiracy?

     

    No, but the Conservatives somehow made oil inflate drastically as soon as Bush took office. That one we can blame on them.

     

    Why do people think Dane Cook is funny?


  2. The 3rd tier of Hell

     

    Two woodpeckers are sitting on your fence and one of them turns to you and yells ''CHALUPA''. How do you respond?

     

    I assume I'm going crazy and bury a bullet in my skull.

     

    Why do people like Radiohead?


  3. Here's a game I thought of. Pose a question, next poster gives an answer, regardless of whether they know the answer or not. Then they pose a new question. This thread should supply plenty of humor. I'll start us off.

     

    Does God exist? LOL, Can't resist.


  4. I do not get offended, so please don't worry. I assumed that you didn't know my background. I would be just as welcoming of your comments even if you knew my background beforehand. When it comes to my writing, I take every comment into consideration, it is the only way to become a better writer/poet.

     

    Indeed. It's all about humility.


  5. A coalition of former emo fans have struck out against the Foo Fighters, saying their forthcoming 3D documentary will leave them out in the cold.

     

    They also want the movie industry to reconsider their move to 3D after being unable to enjoy Avatar in 3D.

     

    The problem began in the mid-2000s, when emo hit the mainstream and a trend of side-swept hair covering one eye became a fashion. Little did they know, their habit would leave them with serious visual impairment.

     

    One side effect is their inability to watch movies in 3D, which requires stereoscopic vision to appreciate, as Lazy Eye Coalition leader Ben Palmer told UG. "It started when Avatar came out. I had to see it in 2D, and it was okay, but everyone was saying ‘Oh, you gotta see it in 3D, it’s way better’ but I couldn’t.

     

    "They kept saying ‘2D is s--t, how do you even cross the road,’ and it’s just discrimination. On top of that, they knew I’d cry about it in public. I’m crying now.

     

    "I feel like my face is a bath and the taps are stuck."

     

    The rest of his group, indistinguishable with their incessant group hug and black clothing, say they want the Foo Fighters to only broadcast their film in 2D. When asked why they would even want to see a film about a regular non-emo rock band, they said "We don’t want to watch it. We just want the right to watch it."

  6. I actually majored in English in college, Bware. my focus was on creative writing/poetry and creative non fiction. When I write my poetry, I purposely stay away from falling into the rules of form. I dont like feeling like I cannot freely express myself in my own time and my own way. I do occasionaly write formal poems, but it is not as much fun. being forced to keep to a rhyme scheme becomes to strict and makes the poen sound cheesy. At least to me it does.

     

    I had no idea of your background, man. I hope I didn't offend you with the comments.


  7. Considering that Miles Austin is twice the receiver that DeSean Jackson is, it would be ridiculous to sign DeSean to this kind of money. Trust me, Philly, worry about locking up Maclin before you sign DeSean to so much that by the time Maclin's contract is up you can't pay him what he'll want.


  8. Well I think that the Chi Sox may be a very big surprise this season, they have been close the last two and acquiring Dunn and a few others they have not had a lot of hype on them this pre season

     

    Mornea and Mauer will dominate the Central if they stay healthy. Their supporting cast is very underrated. MANY MANY hitters in that lineup with plenty of back up wham in the dugout.


  9. Wrote this last night. Not sure if I should bother adding to it or not. I like the story I have so far, but would adding to it ruin it?

     

    Untitled/Unfinished

    Climb aboard, friend, we're all on this ship

    Have a slice of meat; the maggots left it

    Sit down here and leaf through a light read

    Don't worry about anything, it's all up to me

     

    Join the crew, fiend, he's down below deck

    Have yourself a knife, perfect to carve neck

    Slip down there and make quick of your work

    Don't worry for him; he's an obligation to shirk

     

    A spatter of life, and then quite a few more

    But a matter of seconds before tide turns to floor

    Humility in droves froths forth from the wound

    But a matter of moments before morals impugned

     

    I just read The Rime of the Ancient Mariner (long poem set mostly on a ship) for a class. I think it'd be awesome if you extended the poem a bit and could find a way to reference the albatross. I like how it is now, but there's all kinds of ways to work on it. Good diction, Zack, I had to look up a couple words to be positive about their meaning.


  10. Chia:

     

    I like the first poem. As far as criticisms go, I'd capitalize Devil. Also, some of the word choice could be played around with, trying to make it more poetic (diction) and increase the fluidity of the poem.

     

    The second poem has potential, but I'd play with form. Consider an Italian Sonnet (14 lines, two sections. 8-6). Through this structure, you could use the shorter piece to get to the apology and then end with that final line, as Zack suggested. It would be epic, considering that the writer could come to the conclusion that it isn't completely his fault. That'd certainly catch my attention. Look up sonnets, if you're not familiar with the term. Also, if you aren't familiar with poetic strategy and form, look up terms such as iambic pentameter and enjambment. Very useful tools when writing poetry.
