Castalinas | Friday, July 11, 2003 - 11:27 pm     Now Will, who was master of all Said, "these guests are all in for a fall. In order to score and not walk out the door Takes guts and a whole lot of gall." |
Bohawkins | Saturday, July 12, 2003 - 12:00 am     Nathan knows just how to use his feet when love's message he wants to complete. Just stroke a girl's private parts. It's Nate's way to her heart, And for sure our Michelle feels the heat.

Bohawkins | Saturday, July 12, 2003 - 12:34 am     Well, Dana is holding the power of veto, and she now is saying "Jee will not go." She is gunning for Scott. Says he annoys her a lot, and his departure would be more apropos. |
Goddessatlaw | Saturday, July 12, 2003 - 05:12 am     Cangaroo: to answer your question, a limerick is a rhythmic, five-line poem, usually humorous, in which the rhythm determined by the number of syllables. The rule is: Line 1: 8 or 9 syllables Line 2: 8 or nine syllables, rhymes with line 1 Line 3: 5 or 6 syllables, does not rhyme with lines 1 and 2; Line 4: 5 or 6 syllables, rhymes with line 3; Line 5: 8 or 9 syllables, rhymes with lines 1 and 2. If you use 8 syllables for the first line, you should use 8 for lines 2 and 5 also. Same with lines 2 and 3 - they should have the same number of syllables. And that's pretty much it. |

Bohawkins | Saturday, July 12, 2003 - 07:28 am     And don't worry about the number of syllables... you can tell if it works. Some of the most famous limericks don't follow a beat scheme, but when you read or recite them.. you can just tell they qualify. |
Draheid | Saturday, July 12, 2003 - 12:05 pm     If you think you are bored with their spiel A search at Smoking Gun and you'll feel Apparently they agree For as yet we don't see If there's any good dirt to reveal. |
Buggles | Saturday, July 12, 2003 - 12:55 pm     There once was a lad named Nate Who thought he was really great But the guys wised up To this buff love pup Say g-bye to the Elite Eight! mmmm... wishful thinking ??? |
Donut | Saturday, July 12, 2003 - 05:14 pm     Nathan's vain head is so swollen That it would be great to take bowlin' When the good start to rally To throw trash down the alley Let's hope Nathan's big head is a rollin'.. I can't stand when the houseguests are cruel I don't find it funny or cool, But now I wrote a limerick That's as mean as a pinprick Now I'm just a Big Brother ghoul.. |
Donut | Saturday, July 12, 2003 - 05:23 pm     Well, i can't leave this thread on a bummer to bring down this wonderful summer "Yay BB!" I will holler It beats paying eight dollars To a theatre to see "Dumb and Dumberer"! |
Bohawkins | Saturday, July 12, 2003 - 09:50 pm     Scott shakes up the group, throwing some chairs. Next, he's asking, "Does Amanda still care?" Then, "It's about me. I've got HPV." That's just info you don't need to share. |
Gemma120in2002 | Saturday, July 12, 2003 - 10:33 pm     Scott now reveals he has warts, Which puts the houseguests out of sorts! Alison is scrubbing, the toilet she's rubbing, while sobbing and crying she snorts. |
Hamsterlady | Sunday, July 13, 2003 - 01:41 pm     Ahhh...the BB life is charming And only the chairs be harming Their fault is their color That God awful yeller But Scott touching them is alarming |
Weinermr | Sunday, July 13, 2003 - 02:00 pm     There once was a houseguest named Scott, Who paced, and he flung chairs a lot, He excelled at emoting, While his housemates were gloating, Now he's out, was it all just a plot? |
Hamsterlady | Sunday, July 13, 2003 - 02:10 pm     And Ali's the gagging houseguest She'd like to prove she is the best But alas there's a virus And her puking just tires us She'd like to be known as 'Best Dressed' |
Hamsterlady | Sunday, July 13, 2003 - 02:19 pm     Big Brother is taking my life Thank goodness I don't have a wife But yes I'm a female And no not a she-male I couldn't take all of this strife |
Weinermr | Sunday, July 13, 2003 - 02:56 pm     There's choices of how they replace, 'Cause Scott's gone they need a new face, Just think of the email, If they replaced with a she-male! No diversity, it sure would erase! |
Aerojunki | Sunday, July 13, 2003 - 03:20 pm     There once was a man named Nathan Who went into the house thinkin' his chit wasn't stankin' But as all of us know, he is wrong in his thankin' And that's all I know about that boy Nathan. |
Hamsterlady | Sunday, July 13, 2003 - 05:22 pm     Like I like to use words like 'dude' Like because I don't like to be rude But like you know I'm so new And like I know I'm a screw But like please I don't have an attitude |
Buggles | Sunday, July 13, 2003 - 05:23 pm     Whoops, it appears I've double posted Afraid I might get my rump roasted So I'll write this quickie Hope no one's too picky At least I haven't boasted. |
Buggles | Sunday, July 13, 2003 - 05:24 pm     (read in Vincent Price voice) Poor Scott thought he had the game pegged For a life with Amanda he begged But his bum was too hairy His STD too scary Looonnnely now..... is his third leg. |
Chai | Sunday, July 13, 2003 - 06:04 pm     There once was a young girl named Ali Who thought that BB would be right up her alley But along came her ex Justin Whom she wasn't trustin' So she shed tears to flood the whole Valley. |
Castalinas | Sunday, July 13, 2003 - 10:36 pm     Now Dana had eyes that popped out- And Ali had quite a big snout-Jun had a belly- that shook just like jelly-And Michelle had a permanent pout. |
Tabbyking | Sunday, July 13, 2003 - 11:16 pm     there once was a house of folks made up of lasses and blokes til one threw a chair then "yer outta there!" and amanda demanded more smokes |
Tabbyking | Sunday, July 13, 2003 - 11:20 pm     there once was a house of misfits made up of mostly dimwits with teletubby chairs and putting on airs and all of them little $hits. |
